The purchasers of any Offered Securities pursuant to this Article III shall be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties as to ownership, title, authority to sell and the like from the Transferor regarding such sale and to receive such other evidence, including applicable inheritance and estate tax waivers, as may be reasonably necessary (in the purchaser’s judgment) to effect the purchase of the Offered Securities.
(c) If the Company and/or the Purchasers (i) have not collectively elected to purchase all of the Offered Securities or (ii) have failed to consummate such purchase within the Election Period (other than as a result of a breach of the provisions of this Agreement by the Transferor), the options set forth in Section 3.2(a) above shall be deemed not to have been exercised and such Transferor may, within sixty (60) days following the earlier of (x) the expiration of the Election Period, and (y) the lapse or waiver of all options to purchase the Offered Securities set forth in Section 3.2(a), Transfer all or any portion of the Offered Securities to the party or parties named in the Offer Notice at a price no less than the price specified in the Offer Notice and on other terms no more favorable in the aggregate to the transferees than those offered to the Company and the Purchasers in the Offer Notice.

During each calendar quarter during which sales of Shares are permitted to be made in accordance with agreements (“Standstill Agreements”) with the underwriters engaged in connection with a Public Sale, and during each calendar quarter following the termination of the Standstill Agreements, any Manager that desires to Transfer Shares may sell such number of Shares as equals the greater of (a) his pro rata share (determined on a Fully Diluted Basis) of one percent (1.0%) of the Common Stock (or such lesser percentage or number as may be permitted by the Standstill Agreements), and (b) that percentage of Shares which has been transferred by the Fund during such calendar quarter. Fifteen (15) business days prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter during which sales of Shares are permitted under the Standstill Agreements, and fifteen (15) days prior to each calendar quarter after the termination of the Standstill Agreements, a Manager that desires to Transfer Shares shall deliver a written notice to the Board setting forth the number of Shares that such Manager desires to sell (up to such Manager’s pro rata share of the aggregate quarterly maximum specified above) in Open Market Transactions during the succeeding quarter. Within three (3) business days following the beginning of each applicable quarter in respect of which the Company has received a notice from a Manager as set forth above, the Company shall deliver a written notice to such Manager setting forth the amount of Shares permitted to be sold (as determined in accordance with this Section 3.4) by such Manager during such applicable calendar quarter in Open Market Transactions. The Company may, in its discretion, from time to time increase the aggregate amount of Common Stock which may be sold in any calendar quarter in Open Market Transactions. Any Shares sold in an Open Market Transaction shall cease to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
3.5 Duration of Article III. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, (a) the provisions of this Article III (other than Section 3.4) shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering or (ii) a Sale of the Company, and (b) the provisions of Section 3.4 shall terminate upon a Sale of the Company.

ARTICLE IV
CO-SALE RIGHTS; PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS
4.1 Co-Sale Rights and Obligations.
(a) If the Fund approves a Sale of the Company, subject to the remainder of this Section 4.1, each other Securityholder must, if requested by the Fund, sell in that transaction, on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Fund is selling, up to a number of Shares or Share Equivalents equal to the number of Shares or Share Equivalents such other Securityholder then owns multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares and Share Equivalents being sold by the Fund and the denominator of which is the number of Shares and Share Equivalents owned by the Fund immediately prior to the sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, no Securityholder, without the consent of each Co-Investor, will be permitted to sell in a transaction pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) a greater percentage of Shares and Share Equivalents than that required under this Section 4.1(a).
(b) If the Fund proposes to Transfer (whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions) any Shares or Share Equivalents (a “Participation Sale”), other than Transfers (i) to a Fund Associate whose name is set forth on Schedule II from time to time (who shall be required to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.1(b) on any subsequent Transfer, other than a Transfer to the Fund), (ii) to officers, directors or employees of any member of the Company Group other than in connection with a Sale of the Company, provided that such Transfers shall not, in the aggregate, exceed 15% of the Shares and Share Equivalents on a Fully Diluted Basis (and which transferees shall be required to comply with the provisions of Section 3.2 on any subsequent Transfer, other than a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee), or (iii) pursuant to Section 4.2(c), the Fund shall deliver to each other Securityholder written notice of such proposed Transfer. Each other Securityholder may thereupon elect (by giving written notice to the Company and the Fund within five days following notice of the Participation Sale is given to such other Securityholders) to sell in the Participation Sale the same percentage of the Securityholder’s Shares and Share Equivalents (as are then exercisable) of any class or series as the percentage of Shares or Share Equivalents of such class or series that the Fund is selling in that transaction, on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Fund is selling. If the purchaser in a Participation Sale refuses to purchase all of such Shares or Share Equivalents that each Securityholder (other than the Fund and any Fund Associate whose name is set forth on Schedule II from time to time) has properly elected to include in the Participation Sale, the Fund may only sell to such purchaser a portion of the Fund’s Shares or Share Equivalents equal to the portion of Shares or Share Equivalents (as are then vested or exercisable) such purchaser is willing to acquire from such Securityholders or, in the alternative, the Fund must purchase from such Securityholders such Shares or Share Equivalents (as are then vested or exercisable) at the same price and on substantially similar terms and conditions as the Fund is selling in the Participation Sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, for purposes of this Section 4.1(b), Class A Common and Class B Common shall be deemed to be the same class of Shares.
(c) Each Securityholder who is required or elects to participate in a Sale of the Company or Participation Sale must: (i) if requested by the Fund, give the same representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities as the Fund is giving in the transaction; provided, however, that (A) a Manager or Former Owner may be (and the Fund or the other Securityholders may not be) required to enter into non-competition or non-solicitation covenants with respect to customers or suppliers of the Company Group, (B) each Co-Investor shall only be obligated to give representations and warranties related to its authority, ownership and the ability
13
to convey title to such Shares or Share Equivalents, including but not limited to representations and warranties that (1) such Co-Investor holds all right, title and interest in and to the Shares or Share Equivalents the Co-Investor purports to hold, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (2) the obligations of such Co-Investor in connection with the transaction have been duly authorized, if applicable, (3) the documents to be entered into by such Co-Investor have been duly executed by the Co-Investor and delivered to the acquirer and are enforceable (subject to customary carve outs) against the Co-Investor in accordance with their respective terms and (4) neither the execution and delivery of documents to be entered into in connection with the transaction, nor the performance of such Co-Investor’s obligations thereunder, will cause a breach or violation of the terms of any agreement, law or judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental agency; and, (C) as to a Co-Investor’s indemnification obligations for any inaccuracy in, or breach of, a representation and warranty made by the Company or any other member of the Company Group in connection with such Sale of the Company or Participation Sale or failure of the Company or any other member of the Company Group to comply with any of its covenants or agreements in connection therewith (and, for clarity, a Co-Investor shall have no liability in respect of a representation, warranty or covenant made by any Person other than such Co-Investor, the Company or any other member of the Company Group), each Co-Investor’s indemnification obligations shall in no event exceed the aggregate proceeds received by such Co-Investor in such Sale of the Company or Participation Sale, provided that (1) such amount shall be further limited on a proportional basis by any cap, basket, or other limitation the Fund has negotiated for it or the Fund Affiliate and (2) if, in connection with such Sale of the Company or Participation Sale, the liability of the Securityholders is not on a several basis, the Securityholders will enter into a contribution or similar agreement to the extent necessary to reflect several, and not joint and several liability, among the Securityholders, based upon the number of Shares and Share Equivalents owned by each Securityholder on a Fully Diluted Basis; and (ii) pay the Securityholder’s pro-rata share on a Fully Diluted Basis of any costs of the transaction if it closes that are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring Person. Costs incurred by a Securityholder on the Securityholder’s own behalf are not treated as costs of the transaction in such Securityholder’s capacity as such (and not in such Securityholder’s capacity as a member of the Board, if applicable). Each Securityholder must, with respect to any Sale of the Company or Participation Sale: (A) cooperate fully with the transaction and take all steps reasonably requested by the Fund to effect the transaction, (B) if given the opportunity, consent to and Vote in favor of the transaction, and (C) not exercise any dissenter’s, appraisal or like rights with respect to the transaction. No Securityholder may disclose to any Person (except to the Securityholder’s legal counsel or financial adviser or to another Securityholder, in each case on a confidential basis, or except with the Company’s prior written consent) any information related to a potential Sale of the Company or Participation Sale.
(d) Notwithstanding any implication herein to the contrary, (i) the obligations of the Securityholders with respect to a Sale of the Company or Participation Sale in which they are participating are subject to the satisfaction of the condition that upon the consummation of the Sale of the Company or Participation Sale, all of such participating Securityholders shall receive substantially the same form and amount of consideration per class or series, or if any such participating Securityholders are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all such participating Securityholders shall be given substantially the same option, and (ii) concurrent with the consummation of a Sale of the Company, any Share Equivalents (or portion thereof) that are not then vested or exercisable in accordance with their terms (after giving effect to such Sale of the Company) shall automatically and without any further action by the Company or the holder thereof be terminated and of no further force or effect.
14
(e) If the Company or the Fund enter into any negotiation or transaction for which Rule 506 of Regulation D (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the SEC may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction (including a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), such Securityholders who are not accredited investors, acting as a group, who are required or elect to sell pursuant to Sections 4.1(a) or 4.1(b) shall, at the request of the Company, appoint a purchaser representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D) reasonably acceptable to the Company. If such Securityholders appoint a purchaser representative reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Company shall pay the fees of such purchaser representative, but if such Securityholders decline to appoint a purchaser representative reasonably acceptable to the Company, such Securityholders shall appoint another purchaser representative, and such Securityholders shall be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed.
4.2 Preemptive Rights.
(a) If after the date hereof the Board, or the corresponding managing board of a Subsidiary, authorizes the issuance to the Fund or a Co-Investor (each, as applicable, a “Triggering Holder”) of:
(i) any debt or equity securities or instruments (or securities or instruments that are exercisable for, convertible into or exchangeable for such debt or equity securities or instruments) of any member of the Company Group, the Company shall notify the Fund and each other Co-Investor who holds shares of Common Stock (or Share Equivalents) regarding such issuance, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the purchase price, the payment terms, the period in which the preemptive right under this Section 4.2 can be exercised, and the amount of debt or other securities which the Fund and such other Co-Investor is entitled to purchase. Subject to Section 4.2(b), the Fund and each Co-Investor (other than a Triggering Holder in its capacity as such) shall have the preemptive right (exercisable by giving notice to the Company within ten business days after the Company gives such notice to such Securityholder) to purchase up to such Securityholder’s pro rata share (based on the number of shares, on a Fully Diluted Basis, of Common Stock held by such Securityholder) of debt or other securities or instruments that are proposed to be issued, at the same price and otherwise on the same terms as the debt or other securities or instruments that are being so issued to the Triggering Holder.
(ii) any shares of Common Stock (or Share Equivalents that are exercisable for, convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock), the Company shall notify each other Securityholder who holds shares of Common Stock regarding such issuance, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the purchase price, the payment terms, the period in which the preemptive right under this Section 4.2 can be exercised, and the number of such Shares or Share Equivalents which such Securityholder is entitled to purchase. Subject to Section 4.2(b), each Securityholder (other than a Triggering Holder in its capacity as such) who holds shares of Common Stock shall have the preemptive right (exercisable by giving notice to the Company within ten business days after the Company gives such notice to the Securityholder) to purchase up to such Securityholder’s pro rata share (based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Securityholder) of such Shares or Share Equivalents that are proposed to be issued, at the same price and otherwise on the same terms as the Shares or Share Equivalents that are being so issued to the Triggering Holder.
15
If the Triggering Holder is purchasing other securities in connection with the proposed issuance that is the subject of this preemptive right, then, if the Company requests, each Securityholder must, in order to exercise this preemptive right, also purchase such other securities in the same proportionate strips as they are being purchased by the Triggering Holder (on the same price and otherwise on the same terms as they are being sold to the Triggering Holder). If any such Securityholder exercises the preemptive right pursuant to this Section 4.2, such Securityholder and the Triggering Holder shall execute all documentation, and take all actions, as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection therewith, including, with respect to the issuance of any securities or instruments of a Subsidiary, executing a securityholder or similar agreement substantially similar to this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 4.2(a) does not apply to (and Securityholders have no preemptive rights with respect to) the issuance of securities: (i) in a Public Offering, (ii) as a distribution on or with respect to outstanding Securities which is made to each holder of the applicable series or class of Securities on a pro rata basis, (iii) following the earlier of a Sale of the Company or a Public Offering, or (iv) upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any Share Equivalent. Also, Section 4.2(a) does not create any preemptive rights for any Securityholder who is not (or who the Company reasonably believes is not), as of the issuance of the securities that would otherwise be subject to preemptive rights, an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D. If any Securityholder is a Manager (or the Permitted Transferee of a Manager), then the rights of such Securityholder under this Section 4.2 shall expire at such time as such Manager is no longer an employee of the Company Group (or at such earlier time as is contemplated by this Section 4.2(b)).
(c) The Securityholders hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company, due to timing constraints, confidentiality considerations, or other reasons, may request that the Triggering Holder acquire securities in advance of complying with the requirements of Section 4.2(a), and each Securityholder consents to such issuance, provided that, as promptly as practicable thereafter, either (i) the Company complies with the requirements of Section 4.2(a) with respect thereto or (ii) the Triggering Holder offers the other Securityholders the right to acquire from the Triggering Holder that number of securities that such Securityholder would have been offered by the Company under Section 4.2(a). Furthermore, in the event the Triggering Holder elects to sell such securities in accordance with the foregoing sentence, each Securityholder waives any right that such Securityholder may have pursuant to Section 4.1(b). Nothing in this clause (c) shall obligate or require the Fund or any other Securityholder to advance funds to the Company, and any decision to acquire securities shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of each Securityholder.
4.3 Reorganization; Public Offering.
(a) The Board shall have the sole and exclusive right, power and privilege to reorganize the Company into one or more different entities or forms (collectively, the “New Entities”), subject to applicable law and the restrictions below. Any action taken by the Board under this Section 4.3(a) shall be final and binding on the Securityholders. The securities of the New Entities issued in exchange for Securities shall not be transferable to any greater degree than Securities held subject to this Agreement and all such new securities of the New Entities shall be subject to all restrictions provided herein or in any Manager Equity Agreement as if such newly issued securities in the New Entities were Securities. Each Securityholder shall execute all documents (including amendments to this Agreement and any Manager Equity Agreement), and take any and all actions reasonably necessary or advisable, in the reasonable discretion of the Board, to permit the Board to reorganize the Company into the New Entities pursuant to the terms
16
of this Section 4.3(a), such actions to include contributions of Shares to New Entities, execution of consents for a recapitalization of the Company or to the assignment of Company assets to New Entities, and/or approval of a merger or consolidation of the Company with New Entities, provided such reorganization does not adversely affect such Securityholder in any material respect or in any manner that is proportionally different from any holder of any class, series or other security or instrument held by such Person.
(b) Each Securityholder shall take all actions reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with the consummation of any Public Offering as requested by the Company (including the execution of customary lock-up, underwriting or other agreements, provided that such agreements shall not disproportionately impact such Securityholder and so long as the Fund, Fund Affiliates and the Co-Investors are treated proportionally with respect to each class, series or other security or instrument). If such Public Offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the structure of the Company would adversely affect the marketability of the offering, each Securityholder shall consent to and vote for a recapitalization, reorganization and/or exchange of the Company into an entity with authorized securities that the managing underwriters and the Company find acceptable, and each such Securityholder shall take all actions reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with the consummation of the recapitalization, reorganization and/or exchange as requested by the Company; provided that in any such reorganization all Shares of the same class are treated in an identical manner.
4.4 Duration of Certain Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement:
(a) the rights and obligations under Section 4.1(a) shall terminate upon the consummation of a Sale of the Company (whether or not occurring as a result of a Public Offering); and
(b) the rights and obligations under Sections 4.1(b) and 4.2 shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) a Sale of the Company (whether or not occurring as a result of a Public Offering) or (ii) the consummation of a Public Offering (whether or not resulting in a Sale of the Company).
ARTICLE V

TSCP shall have the right to remove the TSCP Director at any time for any reason.

Initially the Other Directors shall be Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx. The Fund Directors and the Management Directors shall have the right to remove any Other Director at any time, and to fill any vacancy arising from time to time with respect to any Other Director.
(e) So long as Crown Investment Series LLC – Series 4, a Delaware series limited liability company and a Co-Investor, and Star Investment Series LLC – Series 1, a Delaware series limited liability company and a Co-Investor (together, “Crown”), own any Shares or Share Equivalents, Crown shall have the right to designate an observer reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Observer”) to attend each meeting of the Board; provided, however, that the Observer may be excluded from all or a portion of any such Board meeting if in the judgment of legal counsel to the Company Group, such exclusion is necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege during such meeting or portion thereof. The Observer shall be entitled to receive notice of all Board meetings in the same manner and at the same time as the members of the Board and shall be entitled to participate in all Board meetings, but the Observer shall not be entitled to vote on any matters submitted to the Board. The appointment of the Observer to the Board shall not limit the ability of the Board to take action without a meeting so long as such action is permissible under applicable law and this Agreement. Each Observer agrees to keep strictly confidential the topics and substance of discussions that occur at the Board meeting as well as any information presented or otherwise obtained at or in connection therewith.
Directors need not be residents of the State of Delaware.

The foregoing shall not be deemed to constitute an exhaustive list

of the management rights that the Fund and TSCP shall have with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries. The rights set forth herein are in addition to, and not in limitation of, the rights of the Fund and TSCP as investors of the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time United States counsel for the Fund or TSCP reasonably concludes that the rights granted in this Agreement should be altered in order to permit or preserve the qualification of the investment of such Person in the Company as a “venture capital investment” or otherwise to ensure that the assets of such Person are not considered “plan assets” for the purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the Company agrees to amend this Agreement to effect any such alteration reasonably requested by such Person, provided, however, that no such alteration would have an adverse effect on the Company, its Subsidiaries or the other Securityholders.
5.3 Indemnification. To the extent allowable under applicable law, each member of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
5.4 Financial Information Rights. As soon as available, the Company shall deliver to each Co-Investor, for so long as such Co-Investor owns any Shares, Share Equivalents, debt or other intrument: (a) the audited consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows of the Company Group as at the end of each fiscal year; (b) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows of the Company Group as at the end of each fiscal quarter; (c) the regularly prepared internal monthly financial statements; and (d) the annual operating budget of the Company Group for the forthcoming fiscal year.

19
ARTICLE VI
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
6.1 Registration.
(a) Demand Registration. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.1, at any time and from time to time following the date on which the Company consummates its initial Public Offering, the holders of at least a majority of the Fund Related Shares (the “Demanding Investors”) may demand registration (a “Demand Registration”) under the Securities Act of part or all the Fund Related Shares (the “Registrable Shares”) on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration or Form S-2 or S-3, or any similar short-form registration. Any such demand shall be made by written notice to the Company, which notice shall specify the number of Registrable Shares requested to be registered and the anticipated per share price for such offering. The Demanding Investors shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Demand Registrations and to select the managing underwriter for any Public Offering pursuant to a Demand Registration, subject to the Company’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld. A Demand Registration shall not be demanded during the six-month period immediately following the effective date of any long-form registration statement. In addition, the Company may defer a Demand Registration for up to six (6) months if the Company is advised by its counsel in writing that undertaking the Demand Registration would accelerate the disclosure of a material development involving the Company and the Company determines in good faith that such disclosure is not in the best interests of the Company. The Company’s right to defer a Demand Registration in accordance with the preceding sentence shall not be exercised more than once in any 365-day period. Upon receipt of a written demand for a Demand Registration, the Company shall (subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.1) use reasonable efforts to include in the registration all of the Shares requested by the Demanding Investors to be included therein and to have the registration statement declared effective.
(b) Piggyback Registration. If, at any time or times, the Company determines (or is required as a result of a Demand Registration) to file with the SEC a registration statement covering any Shares, other than Shares or other securities of the Company which are issuable in an offering (i) to officers or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to an employee stock option, bonus or other employee benefit plan, or (ii) in connection with the acquisition of another Person’s business (whether by acquisition of stock or assets, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction) or the formation of a joint venture, in each case by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Piggyback Event”), the Company shall (at least twenty (20) days prior to the filing of such proposed registration statement) notify each Securityholder in writing of the proposed registration statement, such notification to describe in detail the proposed registration (including those jurisdictions where registration is required under federal and/or state securities laws and the names of the proposed underwriters, if any, of such Public Offering). If one or more of such Securityholders requests the Company in writing, within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such notification from the Company, to include in such registration statement any of such Securityholder’s Shares, then, subject to the remaining provisions hereof, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to include those Shares in the registration statement and to have the registration statement declared effective. Each such request by a Securityholder shall specify the whole number of Shares intended to be offered and sold by each such Securityholder, shall express each such Securityholder’s present intent to offer such Shares for distribution, shall (subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(c)), if the Company has not arranged for a plan of distribution or other marketing arrangements for such distribution, describe the nature or method of the proposed offer and sale thereof and shall contain the undertaking of each such Securityholder to provide all such information and materials and take all such action as may be
20
reasonably requested in order to permit the Company to comply with all applicable requirements of the SEC and to obtain acceleration of the effective date of such registration statement. The Company may elect in its sole discretion, at any time prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement (other than a registration statement filed pursuant to a Demand Registration), not to proceed with the registration which is the subject of such notice. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.1(b) are subject to the limitations, conditions and qualifications set forth in Sections 6.1(a) and (c). Any Securityholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to withdraw from any registration statement filed in connection with a Piggyback Event by delivering written notice of such withdrawal to the Company prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. If a Securityholder decides not to include (or is precluded from including) all of his, her or its Shares in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Securityholder will nevertheless continue to have the right under this Section 6.1(b) to include Shares in a registration statement filed in connection with a future Piggyback Event, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions as set forth in this Agreement.
(c) The obligation of the Company to use its reasonable efforts to cause Shares to be registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Subsections 6.1(a) and (b) above is subject to each of the following limitations, conditions and qualifications.
(i) If such registration is an underwritten offering, the Company shall be entitled to reduce the number of Shares of the Securityholders to be included in such registration if the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed Public Offering of the Company’s securities advise the Company that, in its opinion, inclusion of all of such Securityholder’s requested Shares would adversely affect the Public Offering of securities being sold by the Company.
(ii) Any reduction in the number of Shares to be included in a registration shall be made as follows:
(A) in any Demand Registration, any reduction in the number of Shares to be included in the registration shall be made by excluding: (i) first, Shares requested to be included by Persons other than Securityholders or the Company; (ii) second, Shares requested to be included by the Company; and (iii) third, Shares of Securityholders exercising “piggyback” rights pursuant to Section 6.1(b) and Shares requested by Demanding Investors, provided that any such reduction of Shares of such Securityholders and Demanding Investors shall be pro rata (based on the number of Shares requested to be included by such respective Securityholders and Demanding Investors);
(B) in any registration on the Company’s account, any reduction in the number of Shares to be included in the registration shall be made by excluding: (i) first, Shares requested to be included by Persons other than Securityholders or the Company; (ii) second, any Shares requested to be included by Securityholders pursuant to “piggyback” rights under Section 6.1(b), provided that any such reduction of Shares of such Securityholders shall be pro rata; and (iii) third, Shares to be included on the Company’s account; and
(C) in any demand registration demanded (a “Third Party Demand”) by Person(s) other than a Demanding Investor (each, a “Third Party Demander”), any reduction in the number of Shares to be included in the registration shall be made by excluding: (i) first, Shares requested to be included by Persons other

than Securityholders, the Company or the Third Party Demanders; (ii) second, Shares requested to be included by the Company; (iii) third, any Shares requested to included by Securityholders pursuant to “piggyback” rights under Section 6.1(b) , provided that any such reduction of Shares of such Securityholders shall be pro rata; and (iv) fourth, Shares requested to be included by the Third Party Demanders; provided, however, that the Demanding Investors shall have the right, by giving notice to the Company within 10 days after receipt of notice of the Third Party Demand, to require (subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 6.1(a) and 6.1(c)) that the registration that is the subject of such Third Party Demand be treated (for all purposes hereunder, including the manner in which any reduction in Shares to be included in the registration will be made) as a Demand Registration demanded by such Demanding Investors pursuant to Section 6.1(a).
(iii) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the registration statement and use its reasonable efforts to cause the registration to become effective; provided, however, that, to the extent practicable, at least five business days prior to filing any registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to Securityholders holding Shares covered by such registration statement and their counsel, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, and any such Securityholder and its counsel shall have the opportunity to comment on any information pertaining solely to such Securityholder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein.
(iv) The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to remain current (including the filing of necessary supplements or post-effective amendments) during the period commencing on the initial effective date of such registration statement and ending on the date on which such registration statement shall have remained effective for one hundred eighty (180) days; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including Subsections 6.1(c)(iv) and (x)) to the contrary: (A) if a material development regarding the Company occurs, the Company is advised by its counsel in writing that keeping the registration statement current would require the acceleration of disclosure of such material development and the Company determines in good faith that such disclosure is not in the best interests of the Company, then the Company shall not be obligated to use its reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective or any prospectus current during the ninety (90) day period following the date of such development; and (B) the Company shall not be required to use its reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective at any time after all Shares included in such registration have been distributed.
(v) If the Company has not arranged for a plan of distribution or other marketing arrangements for such registration, it shall be a condition of the right of a Securityholder to participate in such registration that the Securityholder shall have arranged for a plan of distribution of its Shares which are to be registered and made all pertinent marketing arrangements for such Shares. Any such plan and arrangements shall be approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if any securities to be sold by the Company pursuant to such registration statement are to be sold on a firm commitment basis through underwriters, those Securityholders desiring to sell their Shares in the offering shall, at the request of the Company, (1) sell their Shares on such basis through such underwriters, and (2) complete and execute all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents consistent with the terms of this Agreement and required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
22
(vi) Whenever the Company is required by the provisions of this Agreement to use reasonable efforts to register Shares under the Securities Act, the Company shall furnish to each participating Securityholder such number of copies of any prospectus (including any preliminary or summary prospectus) as such Securityholder may reasonably request in order to effect the offering and sale of the Shares to be offered and sold by such Securityholder, but only while the Company is required under the provisions hereof to cause the registration statement to remain current.
(vii) The Company’s obligations to use reasonable efforts to effect registration of Shares for Securityholders shall include such qualification under applicable state securities laws as may be necessary to enable the Securityholders on whose behalf such registration is to be effected to offer and sell the Shares which are the subject matter of their requests; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any jurisdiction in which it is not then qualified or to file any general consent to service of process.
(viii) All expenses incurred in connection with any registration or qualification pursuant to this Section 6.1, including all SEC registration fees, state securities filing fees, printing expenses (excluding the printing of any agreements, memoranda or other documents pertaining solely to the sale of Shares by Securityholders) and fees and disbursements of experts used by the Company in connection with such registration, shall, subject to requirements of any applicable regulatory agency, be borne by the Company. Each participating Securityholder shall bear its pro rata share of the fees and disbursements of underwriting, brokerage discounts and commissions, and transfer taxes, on the sale of its Shares. In addition, the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of one (1) legal counsel for all of the participating Securityholders, as selected by (A) the Demanding Investors holding a majority of the Shares sought to be included in such registration, in the case of a Demand Registration and (B) by the participating Securityholders holding a majority of the Shares sought to included in any registration other than a Demand Registration, in each case as approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Demanding Investors may at any time by notice to the Company require the Company not to proceed with, or terminate, a Demand Registration, in which case, the Demanding Investors shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with such registration.
(ix) The Company shall notify each participating Securityholder at any time when a prospectus relating to such Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event which causes such prospectus as then in effect to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, subject to Section 6.1(c)(iv), the Company will promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Shares, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(x) Each participating Securityholder, upon receipt of any notice of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6.1(c)(ix) hereof, shall
23
immediately discontinue disposition of the Shares until such Securityholder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 6.1(c)(ix) hereof or until such Securityholder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Company, such Securityholder shall, or shall request the managing underwriter or underwriters (if any) to, deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Securityholder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice.
(xi) Each such participating Securityholder agrees (A) to notify the Company as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished by such Securityholder to the Company or of the occurrence of any event, in either case, as a result of which any prospectus relating to such registration contains or would contain an untrue statement of a material fact regarding such Securityholder or omits or would omit to state any material fact regarding such Securityholder required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (B) promptly to furnish to the Company any additional information required to correct and update any previously furnished information or required so that such prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such Securityholder, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.
(xii) For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise contemplated by Section 6.1(c)(viii), the phrases “reasonable efforts” and “reasonable efforts to cause,” when used with reference to efforts to be made by a party hereto or any of its Affiliates shall not require such party or any of its Affiliates to pay or transfer any money, property or other thing of value (except as otherwise provided by this Agreement), shall require such party and its Affiliates to act with all reasonable promptness and dispatch with respect thereto and shall require the other party and its Affiliates to act with all reasonable promptness and dispatch and to cooperate in all material respects with the first party’s efforts in connection therewith.
(xiii) The Company shall furnish, upon request, to each participating Securityholder and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, without charge, at least one signed copy of the registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, and such number of conformed copies thereof and such number of copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus and each prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act), any amendments or supplements thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein, as such participating Securityholder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Shares being sold by such participating Securityholder (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each participating Securityholder and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares covered by the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, unless the Company subsequently notifies the Securityholder and underwriter or underwriters to discontinue use of the prospectus in accordance with Section 6.1(c)(x)).
24
(xiv) The Company shall notify each participating Securityholder and the underwriter or underwriters, if any:
(A) of any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement, issued or threatened by the SEC in connection therewith, and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to obtain its prompt withdrawal if entered;
(B) when such registration statement or any prospectus used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, has been filed and, with respect to such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective;
(C) of any written request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus; and
(D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction.
(xv) The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain, in connection with any underwritten offering of Securities:
(A) a “cold comfort letter” and updates thereof from the Company’s independent certified public accountants covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort letters” as the underwriters may reasonably request; and
(B) an opinion of counsel to the Company, addressed to the underwriters, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in secondary underwritten offerings of equity securities, to the extent reasonably required by the underwriting agreement.
(xvi) The Company shall otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make generally available to its security holders (as contemplated by Section 11(a) under the Securities Act) an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act no later than ninety (90) days after the end of the twelve (12) month period beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the registration statement, which statement shall cover said twelve (12) month period.
(xvii) The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause all Shares covered by each registration to be listed subject to notice of issuance, prior to the date of first sale of such Shares pursuant to such registration, on each securities exchange on which the Shares are then listed, and admitted to trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, if the Shares are then admitted to trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
(xviii) The Company shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each participating Securityholder, its officers, trustees, directors, members, managers, beneficial owners (direct or indirect) and partners and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Securityholder (the “Investor Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (“Losses”) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or
25
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 participating Securityholder expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any of the Investor Indemnified Parties for any such Losses to the extent that such Losses arise out of or are based upon (A) the use of any preliminary prospectus or prospectus after such time as the obligation of the Company to keep the same effective and current has ceased or expired, (B) the use of any preliminary prospectus or prospectus after such time as the Company has advised the participating Securityholder in writing that a post-effective amendment or supplement thereto is required (other than the use of a preliminary prospectus or prospectus as so supplemented or amended) or (C) any failure to deliver a copy of the final prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to any Person if such alleged misstatement or omission was timely corrected in such final prospectus or amendment or supplement. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such underwriters to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Investor Indemnified Parties. The Company shall reimburse the Investor Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending against any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(xix) Each participating Securityholder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any registration statement or prospectus covering Shares held by such Securityholder, and each participating Securityholder shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) against any Losses arising out or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such participating Securityholder; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each participating Securityholder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such participating Securityholder from the sale of Shares pursuant to such registration statement. The participating Securityholders shall reimburse the Company Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending against any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(xx) Any Person entitled to indemnification under Section 6.1(c)(xviii) or Section 6.1(c)(xix), as applicable, shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the
26
indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) and which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(xxi) If the indemnification provided for in Section 6.1(c)(xviii) or Section 6.1(c)(xix) from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any Losses for which such indemnified party would be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 6.1(c)(xviii) or Section 6.1(c)(xix), as applicable, then the 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 and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that such obligation shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such participating Securityholder from the sale of the Shares pursuant to such registration statement. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties 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 by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.
(xxii) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 6.1(c)(xxi) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 6.1(c)(xxi). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentations (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.
(xxiii) The indemnification provided for under Section 6.1(c)(xviii) or Section 6.1(c)(xix), as applicable, and the contribution provided for in Section 6.1(c)(xxi) shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares.
(d) The Company shall not grant to any Person any registration rights inconsistent with the terms of this Section 6.1.
6.2 Rule 144. Following an initial Public Offering, the Company shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (including the reports under
27
Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act). Upon the request of a holder of Shares, the Company shall: (a) deliver to such holder a written statement as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, as such rule may be amended from time to time, and (b) take such further action, including supplying and making publicly available any other information in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the Company, to allow such holder to avail itself of Rule 144 or any other rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell securities without registration under the Securities Act.

7.17 Irrevocable Proxy. To the extent that this Agreement obligates a Securityholder to Vote Securities for or against any transaction (or other matter) or for any Person in any election, such Securityholder grants to the Fund, if the Fund is not in breach hereof, a proxy to so Vote that Security on such Securityholder’s behalf with respect to that transaction (or other matter). Each of the foregoing proxies is irrevocable. The term of each of such proxies with respect to Securities will continue until the date on which this Agreement terminates. Each of these proxies is coupled with an interest in the issuer of Securities in question. Each time that a Securityholder acquires Securities (including on the date hereof or in the future), such Securityholder shall be treated as granting this proxy at such time with respect to that Security.
7.18 Interpretation. Whenever the term “include” or “including” is used in this Agreement, it shall mean “including, without limitation,” (whether or not such language is specifically set forth) and shall not be deemed to limit the range of possibilities to those items specifically enumerated. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision. Terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural and vice versa.

Terms defined as a noun shall have a comparable meaning when used as an adjective, adverb, or verb and vice versa.

I hereby consent to such rights and restrictions, approve of the provisions of the Agreement, and agree that I will bequeath any interest which I may have in said securities or any of them, including my community interest, if any, or permit any such interest to be purchased, in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

I further agree that in the event of a dissolution of the marriage between myself and my spouse, in connection with which I secure or am awarded any securities of the Company or any interest therein through property settlement agreement or otherwise, I shall receive and hold said securities subject to all the provisions and restrictions contained in the foregoing Agreement, including any option of the Company or other Securityholders to purchase such shares or interest from me.
