usable by Holders until the earliest of (i) the one year anniversary of the

jointly and severally agree to pay liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”) to
each holder of Transfer Restricted Securities and each Lender equal to increased
interest of 50 basis points on the principal amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities held by such holder with respect to each week or if less, each

increase by an additional 50 basis points with respect to each subsequent 90-day
period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum increase
of 150 basis points; provided that the Company shall in no event be required to
pay Liquidated Damages for more than one Registration Default at any given
time. All Liquidated Damages shall be calculated based on the actual
number of days elapsed and a 360 day year and all accrued Liquidated Damages
shall be paid to each record holder of Notes in cash. Following the
cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular Note, the accrual
of Liquidated Damages with respect to such Registration Default will
cease.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, in the event that a Holder
of Notes fails to comply with the requirements of the last paragraph of Section 4 within a
reasonable and customary time, then from and after such time such Holder shall
not be entitled to Liquidated Damages until such Holder complies with the
requirements of the last paragraph of Section
4.
All
obligations of the Registrants set forth in the preceding paragraphs that are
outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such
security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such
time as all such obligations have been paid in full. Any holder of
Notes may notify the Trustee (and any paying agent under the Indenture)
immediately after the occurrence of each and every event which results in the
accrual of Liquidated Damages with respect to such Notes.
4. Registration
Procedures. The Company and the Guarantors shall:
(a) in
connection with any Shelf Registration, prepare and file with the SEC, within
the time period provided in Section 2
hereof, a Shelf Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statements relating
to the Shelf Registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act,
which
3
form
shall be available for the sale of the Notes in accordance with the intended
method or methods of distribution thereof and shall include (i) all
financial statements (including, if applicable, financial statements of any
Person which shall have guaranteed any indebtedness of the Registrants) required
by the SEC to be filed therewith and (ii) if the sale is by means of an
underwritten offering, any other information that the Manager reasonably
believes to be of material importance to the success of such offering, cooperate
and assist in any filings required to be made with FINRA and in the performance
of any due diligence investigation by the Manager (including any “qualified
independent underwriter”) that is required to be retained in accordance with the
rules and regulations of FINRA and use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective;
(b) prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Shelf

Shelf Registration Statement have been sold; cause the Prospectus to be
supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; comply with the applicable
provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Securities Act in a timely manner;
and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
disposition of all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf
Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the
intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in
such Shelf Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;
(c) notify
the selling holders of Notes and the Manager promptly upon actual knowledge of:
(1) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
has been filed, and, with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (2) of any request
by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement or
the Prospectus or for additional information, (3) of the issuance by the SEC of
any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement
or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (4) of the receipt by the
Registrants of any written notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and (5) of the happening of any
event or the existence of any fact which requires the making of any changes in
the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order that the Shelf
Registration Statement or the Prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. If at any time the Registrants receive actual
knowledge that the SEC has issued any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Shelf Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other
regulatory authority has issued an order suspending the qualification or
exemption from qualification of the Notes under state securities or Blue Sky
laws, the Registrants shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest practicable
time;
(d) [Reserved]
(e) if
requested by the Manager or a holder of Notes being sold in connection with an
underwritten offering, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment such information as the Manager or the holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes being sold agree should be
included therein relating to the plan of distribution with respect to such
Notes; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the matters to be incorporated
in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; provided that the
Registrants shall not be required to take any action under this Section 4(e)
that would in the reasonable judgment of the Registrants violate any applicable
law;
4
(f) furnish
to the Manager without charge, if requested, at least one signed copy of the
Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment
thereto;
(g) deliver
to each selling holder of Notes and the Manager, if requested, as many copies of
the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or
supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; the Registrants
consent to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by
each of the selling holders of Notes and the Manager in connection with the
offering and sale of the Notes covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto;
(h) prior
to any public offering of Notes, register or qualify or cooperate with the
selling holders of Notes, the Manager and their respective counsel in connection
with the registration or qualification of such Notes for offer and sale under
the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any such seller or the
Manager reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things
necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Notes; provided that the Registrants
will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it
to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so
subject;
(i) cooperate
with the selling holders of Notes and the Manager, if any, to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing such Notes to be
sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Notes to be in
such denominations and registered in such names as the Manager may request at
least two business days prior to any sale of the Notes;
(j) use
their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Notes covered by the
applicable Shelf Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by
such other federal or state governmental agencies or authorities in the United
States as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the
Manager to consummate the disposition of such Notes;
(k) following
the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph (c)(5) above, promptly
commence preparation of a supplement or post-effective amendment to the related
Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated therein by reference or any other required document for filing so
that, as thereafter delivered to the holders of the Notes, the Prospectus will
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
(l) [Reserved]
(m) [Reserved]
(n) not
later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration, provide a CUSIP number

and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in offerings of
debt securities pursuant to comparable
5
underwritten
offerings; (2) obtain opinions of counsel to the Registrants and updates thereof
(which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Manager and the Majority Holders), addressed to each selling
holder and the Manager covering the matters customarily covered in opinions
requested in underwritten offerings and such other customary matters as may be
reasonably requested by such holders and the Manager; (3) obtain “comfort”
letters and updates thereof from the Registrants’ independent certified public

to comparable underwritten offerings; and (4) deliver such documents and
certificates as may be requested by the holders of a majority of the Notes being

required thereunder;
(p) make
available for inspection at reasonable times at each of the Registrants’

Statement, such relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate
documents and properties of the Registrants and the Guarantors as reasonably
requested and cause the Registrants’ and the Guarantors’ officers, directors and
employees to respond to such inquiries as shall be reasonably necessary, in the
reasonable judgment of counsel to such Holders, to conduct a reasonable
investigation; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information
gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the selling Holders by one counsel
designated by and on behalf of such Holders and, provided, further, that each
such party shall be required to maintain in confidence and not disclose to any
other Person any information or records reasonably designated by the Registrants
as being confidential, until such time as (A) such information becomes a matter
of public record (whether by virtue of its inclusion in such Shelf Registration
Statement or otherwise), (B) such Person shall be required so to disclose such
information pursuant to a subpoena or order of any court or other governmental
agency or body having jurisdiction over the matter (subject to the requirements
of such order, and only after such Person shall have given the Registrants
prompt prior written notice of such requirement) or (C) such information is
required to be set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus
included therein or in an amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or an
amendment or supplement to such Prospectus in order that such Shelf Registration

forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable the Indenture to
be so qualified in a timely manner; and
(s) make
appropriate officers of the Registrants available to the Manager for meetings
with prospective purchasers of the Notes and prepare and present to potential

(a) All
expenses incident to the Registrants’ performance of or compliance with this
Agreement, including without limitation all (i) registration and filing fees,
fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with FINRA

any event, will pay their own internal expenses (including, without limitation,
all salaries and expenses of their officers and employees performing legal or
accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, rating agency fees and the
fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the
Registrants.
(b) [Reserved]
6. Indemnification
(a) Indemnification by the
Registrants. The Registrants jointly and severally agree to
indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each holder of
Notes, their officers, directors and employees and each Person who controls such
holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (the “Indemnified
Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
incurred by such party in connection with any actual or threatened action
arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus or
preliminary Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein (in the case of a Prospectus or a preliminary Prospectus, in light of
the circumstances then existing) not misleading, and the Registrants agree to
reimburse such Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss or
action or proceeding in respect thereof, except insofar as the same arise out of
or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and
in conformity with any information furnished in writing to the Registrants by
such holder or its counsel expressly for use therein. The Registrants
shall also indemnify the Manager, their officers and directors and each Person
who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same
extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Indemnified
Parties, if requested.
7
(b) Indemnification by Holder of
Notes. In connection with the filing of any Shelf Registration
Statement, each holder of Notes will furnish to the Registrants in writing such
information and affidavits as the Registrants reasonably request for use in
connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus and agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, the
Registrants, their directors and officers and each Person who controls the
Registrants (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or
any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Shelf Registration
Statement or Prospectus or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, to the extent, but
only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission relates to such
holder and is made in reliance on and in conformity with any information or
affidavit furnished in writing by such holder to the Registrants specifically
for inclusion in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus. In
no event shall the liability of any selling holder of Notes hereunder be greater
in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder upon
the sale of the Notes giving rise to such indemnification
obligation. The Registrants shall be entitled to receive indemnities
from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities
industry professionals participating in the distribution of such Notes to the
same extent above with respect to information or affidavit furnished writing by
such Persons as provided specifically for any Prospectus or Shelf Registration
Statement.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification
Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder
will (i) give prompt notice to the Registrants or holder of Notes, as the case
may be (in either case, as applicable, an “Indemnifying
Party”), of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and
(ii) permit such Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person (it being agreed that, where the
Parent or the Company is an Indemnifying Party, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP is
so satisfactory); provided,
however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ one
firm of separate counsel (in each jurisdiction) to represent jointly the
Indemnified Party and those other Indemnified Parties and their respective
directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to
liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought
under this Section 7(c) if (i) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party
shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed within a
reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party and its directors, officers, employees and
controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those
available to the Indemnifying Party; or (iv) the named parties in any such
proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified
Parties or their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling
persons, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, and
representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to differing interests between them, and in any such event the
fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying
Party. No Indemnifying Party will consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Party which
does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such Indemnified Party a release from all liability in respect to
such claim or litigation. Any Indemnifying Party who is not entitled
to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay
the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Persons entitled to
indemnification by such Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim in any one
jurisdiction, unless in the reasonable judgment of such Person a conflict of
interest may exist between such Person and any other Person entitled to
indemnification hereunder with respect to such claim, in which event the
Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such
additional counsel or counsels, but only of one such additional counsel for each
group of similarly situated Persons in any one jurisdiction.
8
(d) Contribution. If
for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a)
and (b) is unavailable to a Person entitled to indemnification or is
insufficient to hold it harmless as contemplated by the preceding paragraphs (a)
and (b), then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Person
and the Indemnifying Party, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations, provided that no holder of
Notes shall be required to contribute an amount greater than the dollar amount
of the proceeds received by such holder of Notes with respect to the sale of any
securities. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties
hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant
to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other
method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to in the first sentence of this
paragraph. 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.
7. Rule 144
The
Parent and the Company covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to file
the reports required to be filed by them under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if
any of them is not required to file such reports, the applicable party will,
upon the request of any holder of Notes made after the one year anniversary of
the making of the Loans, make publicly available other information so long as
necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and
they will take such further action as any holder of Notes may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to
sell Notes without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such
Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any holder of
Notes, the Registrants will deliver to such holder a written statement as to
whether they have complied with such information and filing
requirements.
8. Miscellaneous
(a) Remedies. Each
holder of Notes, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided
herein, in the Indenture or granted by law, including recovery of damages, in
connection with the breach by the Registrants of their obligations to register
the Notes will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this
Agreement. The Registrants agree that monetary damages (including the
Liquidated Damages contemplated hereby) would not be adequate compensation for
any loss incurred by reason of a breach by any of them of the provisions of this
Agreement and each agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific
performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) No Inconsistent
Agreements. The Registrants will not on or after the date of
this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to their securities which
(i) is inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of Notes in this
Agreement, (ii) grants to the holders of any securities issued or to be
issued by the Company the right to participate in any registration of Notes
pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) otherwise conflicts with the provisions
hereof. The rights granted to the holders of Notes hereunder do not
in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the
holders of the Registrants’ respective securities under any other
agreements. The
9
Registrants
have not previously entered into, and shall not for the term of this Agreement
enter into, any agreement with respect to their securities granting any
registration rights to any Person.
(c) Amendments and
Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and
waivers or consents to departures from the provisions of this Agreement may not
