The Standby Purchaser and the Company will furnish each other and each other’s counsel with all information concerning themselves, their subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be necessary or advisable in connection with any application, petition or any other statement or application made by or on behalf of the Standby Purchaser or the Company to the Department or any Governmental Entity in connection with the purchase of the Shares by the Standby Purchaser contemplated by this Agreement. The Standby Purchaser shall notify the Company promptly of the receipt of any comments of the Department or any Governmental Entity with respect to such filings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Standby Purchaser shall not be obligated to take or refrain from taking or to agree to it or its Affiliates taking or refraining from any action or to suffer to exist any condition, limitation, restriction or requirement that, individually or in the aggregate with any other actions, conditions, limitations, restrictions or requirements, would or would reasonably be likely to result in a Burdensome Condition, and the Standby Purchaser shall not be required to seek review by a court, administrative or regulatory authority, agency, commission, board, tribunal or similar adjudicative body of any determination of any insurance regulatory authority, including in their capacity as a rehabilitator, conservator, liquidator or similar capacity. As used herein, “Burdensome Condition” means any condition that would: (A) have a material negative effect on the business or the Permits, assets, liabilities, properties, operations, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Standby Purchaser, its Affiliates or the Company; (B) impose any material requirement relating to the contribution of capital, keep-well or capital maintenance arrangements or maintaining risk-based capital level or any material restrictions on dividends or distributions or the ability of the Company to operate its business, in each case, excluding any changes in applicable Law or the effects of any actions, conditions, limitations, restrictions or requirements that are customary for the applicable Governmental Entity to impose in transactions of the type of transaction contemplated hereby; or (C) impose any requirement to modify this Agreement, the Plan of Conversion or other agreement entered or to be entered into in connection herewith or therewith in any manner that materially changes the rights, liabilities or obligations of the parties hereto or thereto.

The Standby Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware, and it agrees that it will advise its representatives, agents, advisors, Affiliates and Associates who are informed as to the matters which are the subject of this provision (collectively, its “Representatives”), that the United States securities laws prohibit any Person who has received material, non-public information concerning the Company or the matters which are the subject of this provision from purchasing or selling securities of the Company or from communicating such information to any other Person. The Standby Purchaser agrees, and shall instruct its Representatives, to (i) keep such non-public information provided by the Company strictly confidential, (ii) use the same degree of care to protect such non-public information as each would use to protect its own non-public information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care, and (iii) not disclose the non-public information in any manner whatsoever to any Person, except with the specific prior written consent of the Company. As used in this Section 6(d), “non-public information” shall not include information which (a) is or becomes public knowledge other than as a result of a breach of the obligations of the Standby Purchaser or its Representatives; (b) was known to the Standby Purchaser prior to the date of this Agreement, except as provided to the Standby Purchaser pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with Federal Life; (c) becomes available without restriction from a third party not known by the Standby Purchaser to be under any confidentiality obligation to the Company with respect thereto; or (d) is developed by the Standby Purchaser or its Representatives without use of the Company’s non-public information. In the event that the Standby Purchaser or any of its Representatives are requested or required by law, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, administrative regulatory requirement, order, decree or the rules of any applicable stock exchange or similar legal process (collectively, “Law”) to disclose any of the foregoing non-public information, the Standby Purchaser shall (or will direct its Representatives to) provide the Company with prompt prior written notice of such requirement to the extent permissible under applicable Law and reasonably practicable under the circumstances in order to enable the Company to (A) seek, at its own cost, an appropriate protective order or other remedy or (B) waive compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this Agreement; and the Standby Purchaser or such Representative shall consult and reasonably cooperate with the Company, at the Company’s expense and upon its written request, with respect to taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of such request or requirement. If, in the absence of a protective order, the Standby Purchaser or such Representative are nonetheless, on the advice of counsel of such Standby Purchaser or such Representative, as applicable, required by applicable Law to disclose the foregoing non-public information, the Standby Purchaser or such Representative shall (I) furnish only that portion of the foregoing non-public information that, based upon advice of legal counsel, is legally required, (II) give advance notice to the Company of the information to be disclosed as far in advance as is legally permissible and practical, and (III) exercise commercially reasonable efforts, at the Company’s expense and upon its written request, to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such non-public information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, without satisfying the other obligations of this paragraph, Standby Purchaser and its Representative may disclose such non-public information to the extent such disclosure is requested or required in connection with routine audits or examinations by, or blanket document requests from, a Governmental Entity that does not specifically target the other parties, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) The Company shall at all times reserve and hold available sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement.

(f) After the Closing, if and for so long as the Standby Purchaser beneficially owns more than five percent (5.0%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock and a Standstill Termination Event has not occurred, the Company and Federal Life shall nominate election to the Board of Directors of the Company and Federal Life either (i) Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxx or either of them, to the extent that the Standby Purchaser notifies the Company that such individuals are to be elected to the Board or (ii) if either Xx. Xxxxxx or Xx. Xxxxxx are not selected by the Standby Purchaser, such individuals who are mutually and reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Standby Purchaser.

(g) As soon as eligible to register Shares for resale on a Form S-3 registration statement, or, if earlier, upon the occurrence of a Standstill Termination Event, the Company shall register the Purchased Shares and the Common Stock held by the Senior Management Shareholders for resale under the Securities Act in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit B attached hereto, at which time the legend described in Section 9(b) hereof shall be removed from the Purchased Shares and the Common Stock held by the Senior Management Shareholders and the restrictions set forth in Section 9(b) hereof shall be of no further force or effect.

Section 7. Public Statements. Neither the Company nor the Standby Purchaser shall issue any public announcement, statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the other party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except if such public announcement, statement or other disclosure is required by applicable law or applicable stock market rules, in which case the disclosing party shall consult in advance with respect to such disclosure with the other parties to the extent reasonably practicable.

The Standby Purchaser’s pro rata share is equal to the ratio of (i) the total number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock that the Standby Purchaser is deemed to be a holder of immediately prior to the issuance of such Equity Securities to (ii) the total number of shares of the outstanding Common Stock (including all shares of the Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of any securities convertible into the Common Stock or upon the exercise of any outstanding warrants or options) immediately prior to the issuance of the Equity Securities.

(b) If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company proposes to issue any Equity Securities, the Company shall give the Standby Purchaser written notice of its intention, describing the Equity Securities and the price and the terms and conditions upon which the Company or such Subsidiary proposes to issue the same. The Standby Purchaser shall have twenty (20) days from the receipt of such notice (the “Offer Period”) to notify the Company in writing that it intends to exercise its Gross Up Right and as to the amount of Equity Securities the Standby Purchaser intends to purchase, up to the maximum calculated in accordance with Section 11(a) hereof (the “Designated Securities”); provided, however, that if providing the Standby Purchaser twenty (20) days’ notice to respond is not practicable, the Company may provide an earlier deadline for the Standby Purchaser to respond to such notice by giving the Standby Purchaser the maximum number of days to respond as is practicable but in any event no fewer than five (5) days’ notice. Such notice from the Standby Purchaser shall constitute a non-binding indication of interest of the Standby Purchaser to purchase the amount of Designated Securities specified by the Standby Purchaser (or a proportionately lesser amount if the amount of Equity Securities to be offered if such offering of Equity Securities is subsequently reduced) at the price (or range of prices) and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. The failure to respond during the Offer Period constitutes a waiver of its Gross Up Right in respect of such offering. The Standby Purchaser shall execute a binding agreement to purchase any such Equity Securities within thirty (30) days after expiration of the Offer Period, and any Equity Securities that the Standby Purchaser indicated it would purchase but that are not covered by a binding purchase agreement at such time may be sold to other Persons, unless the failure to execute such an agreement is attributable to actions of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, in which case the Company or such Subsidiary shall have the right to sell the Equity Securities to other Persons if the Standby Purchaser shall not have executed such an agreement within the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after the reason for such delay has been resolved or (ii) thirty (30) days after expiration of the Offer Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor such Subsidiary shall be required to offer or sell such Equity Securities to the Standby Purchaser if it would cause the Company or such Subsidiary to be in violation of applicable federal securities or insurance regulatory laws by virtue of such offer or sale.

(c) The Company or such Subsidiary shall have 90 days after expiration of the Offer Period to sell any Equity Securities in respect of which the Standby Purchaser’s Gross Up Rights were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to the Standby Purchaser pursuant to Section 11(b) hereof. If the Company or such Subsidiary has not sold such Equity Securities within such 90-day period, neither the Company nor such Subsidiary shall thereafter issue or sell any Equity Securities without first offering such Equity Securities to the Standby Purchaser in the manner provided above.

(d) The Gross Up Rights provided by this Section 11 shall not apply to, and shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the first date upon which the Standby Purchaser no longer beneficially owns shares of the Common Stock representing more than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock immediately prior to an issuance contemplated under Section 11(a) hereof, (b) the date of any breach by the Standby Purchaser of any material obligation under this Agreement that remains uncured after thirty (30) days’ notice thereof, or (c) the end of the Standstill Period.

(e) The provisions in this Section 11 shall not apply to any issuance of Equity Securities by the Company (i) to employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their employment or services or in a transaction or pursuant to management or employee agreements, incentive programs or stock purchase or equity compensation plans approved by the Board (including any such programs or plans in existence on the date hereof), (ii) to a third party as consideration in connection with (but not in connection with raising capital to fund) (A) a strategic business combination or other merger, acquisition or disposition transaction, partnership, joint venture, strategic alliance or investment by the Company or similar non-capital raising transaction approved by the Board, or (B) an investment by the Company or its subsidiaries approved by the Board in any party which is not prior to such transaction an Affiliate of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale or exchange of stock, sale of assets or securities, or otherwise), (iii) as part of any offering registered under the Securities Act; provided, that the Standby Purchaser shall not be precluded by the Company, its underwriter(s) or its agent(s) in connection with such offering from purchasing in such offering, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its underwriter(s) or agent(s) engaged in connection with such offering to allocate shares, on the same terms and conditions offered to the public, a sufficient number of Designated Securities, so as to maintain the Standby Purchaser’s pro rata share of all Equity Securities, (iv) upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of options, warrants or similar rights or other convertible securities, (v) the issuance of Equity Securities by a Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or one of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries and (vi) in connection with any stock split, stock dividend paid on a proportionate basis to all holders of the affected class of capital stock or recapitalization approved by the Board.

Section 12. Post-Closing Voting. If and for so long as the Standby Purchaser beneficially owns more than five percent (5.0%) of the shares of the Common Stock outstanding and a Standstill Termination Event has not occurred:

(a) subject to the final proviso of this paragraph, the Standby Purchaser shall vote and cause to be voted all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Standby Purchaser (i) for persons nominated and recommended by the Board for election as directors of the Board and against any Person nominated for election as a director by any other Person and (ii) as directed or recommended by the Board with respect to any proposal presented at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders, including, but not limited to (A) the entire slate of directors recommended for election by the Board to the shareholders of the Company at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders at which any directors are elected, (B) any shareholder proposal submitted for a vote at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders, and (C) any proposal submitted by the Company for a vote at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders relating (x) to the appointment of the Company’s accountants or (y) an equity compensation plan of the Company and/or any material revisions thereto; provided, however, that the Standby Purchaser shall not be bound to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions if the Company is in violation of a material obligation of this Agreement that remains uncured after fifteen (15) days’ notice thereof or if such proposal (1) would have a disproportionate effect on the Standby Purchaser compared to all of the other holders of the Common Stock as a group, (2) (other than the matters specified in clause (i)) requires approval of a related party transaction between the Company and one or more of its Affiliates other than as set forth in clauses (i), (ii)(A) and (ii)(C)(y), or (3) would result in nominees of the Standby Purchaser being removed from the Board.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Standby Purchaser owns 25% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, without the affirmative vote or written approval of the Standby Purchaser, none of the Company, Federal Life, or FLMHC shall cause or permit, take or decide, or agree or commit to take any of the actions set forth on Exhibit C, and the Standby Purchaser shall have the right to vote its shares (or provide or withhold its written approval) with respect to such actions in its sole and absolute discretion.

Section 13. Exit Provisions.

(a) If, at any time prior to the ROFO Termination Date, the Standby Purchaser provides a written notice to the Company that the Standby Purchaser and those of its Affiliates who own Common Stock desire to sell the Common Stock held by such Persons (a “Potential Sale Notice”) the Company or its designee may, by written notice to the Standby Purchaser (a “Company Offer Notice”) delivered by the date that is the earlier of (i) the date that is six (6) months following the date of the Potential Sale Notice and (ii) the ROFO Termination Date, make a Qualifying Offer to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Common Stock held by the Standby Purchaser and its Affiliates. If the Standby Purchaser or such Affiliate accepts the Qualifying Offer contained in the Company Offer Notice, the Standby Purchaser shall notify the Company of such acceptance within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such Company Offer Notice, and the closing of the sale of the Offered Shares to the Company or such designee shall occur on the later to occur of (x) thirty (30) days of such election and (y) ten (10) Business Days after any required regulatory approvals for such sale are received.

(b) If either (i) the Company confirms in writing that the Company will not provide a Company Offer Notice, (ii) the Company does not deliver a Company Offer Notice to the Standby Purchaser in the manner set forth in Section 13(a), (iii) the Company delivers a Company Offer Notice to the Standby Purchaser and fails to close on the purchase described in such Company Offer Notice for reasons other than the default by the Standby Purchaser or its Affiliates, or (iv) the Standby Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate does not accept the offer contained in the Company Offer Notice, then the Standby Purchaser and its Affiliates may (A) sell all or any portion of the Common Stock held by the Standby Purchaser or its Affiliates to a third party (subject to applicable Law) or (B) require the Company to register such Common Stock for resale under the Securities Act in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit B attached hereto; provided, that until the ROFO Termination Date, if the Company has delivered a Company Offer Notice to the Standby Purchaser, any such sale must be for a price that is not less than the price contained in the Company Offer Notice.

(c) For the purposes of this Section 13, a “Qualifying Offer” shall mean an offer for all but not less than all of the Common Stock owned by the Standby Purchaser and its Affiliates which (i) provides payment of the purchase price at closing in immediately available funds, (ii) is not subject to any contingency except receipt by the buyer of all required regulatory approvals, and (iii) is accompanied by commitment letters or other evidence, in each case, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Standby Purchaser, that the proposed buyer for such Common Stock will have the funds available to purchase such Common Stock in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable Company Offer Notice.

(d) If (x) the Standby Purchaser disagrees with any material corporate action taken or proposed to be taken by the Company or Federal Life or (y) the Company or Federal Life fails to take any material corporate action proposed by the Standby Purchaser (either, a “Strategic Direction”) and the Standby Purchaser gives written notice thereof to the Company, the Company shall have ninety (90) days to rescind or terminate such Strategic Direction that is proposed to be taken, if such action is capable of being terminated or rescinded or, upon a failure to take action proposed by the Standby Purchaser, to take the action which is the subject of such Strategic Direction within one year after receipt of such written notice from the Standby Purchaser. If the Company fails to rescind or terminate such Strategic Direction or take the action which is the subject of such Strategic Direction within the applicable time period, upon receipt by the Company of written notice from the Standby Purchaser, then within six (6) months after receipt by the Company of such written notice from the Standby Purchaser, the Company shall either:

(i) Purchase or cause another Person to offer to purchase all of the Shares using the price set forth in Section 9(d) hereof; or

(ii) if such Shares have not been registered previously, register the Shares owned by the Standby Purchaser for resale under the Securities Act in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit B attached hereto, following which registration the restrictions of Section 9(a) through Section 9(d) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

In the event that the Company exercises its right to purchase the Shares pursuant to Section 13(d)(i) above, (i) the Company or its applicable designee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all required regulatory approvals of the purchase of the Shares as soon as practical and (ii) closing upon the purchase the Shares will occur within ten (10) Business Days after all required regulatory approvals have been received.

(e) On the occurrence of an ASE Event, (i) the Company shall, promptly upon the request of the Standby Purchaser, remove any restrictive legend on the shares of Common Stock owned by the Standby Purchaser, (ii) the restrictions on transfer in Section 9 hereof (other than the provisions of Section 9(f) hereof) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and (iii) the Standby Purchaser shall be permitted to sell such shares at any time and from time to time without any notice to the Company.

Section 14. Drag Along Rights.

(a) After the occurrence of a Standstill Termination Event, if a Stockholder who holds no less than 51% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company (a “Dragging Stockholder”), receives a bona fide offer from a non-affiliated Third Party Purchaser to consummate, in one transaction, or a series of related transactions, a Change of Control (a “Drag-along Sale”), the Dragging Stockholder shall have the right to require that each other Stockholder (each, a “Drag-along Stockholder”) participate in such Transfer in the manner set forth in this Section 14, provided, however, that no Drag-along Stockholder shall be required to participate in the Drag-along Sale if the consideration for the Drag-along Sale is other than cash or registered securities listed on an established U.S. securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Drag-along Stockholder shall vote in favor of the transaction and take all actions to waive any dissenters, appraisal or other similar rights.

(b) The Dragging Stockholder shall exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 14 by delivering a written notice (the “Drag-along Notice”) to the Company and each Drag-along Stockholder no later than 20 Business Days prior to execution of an agreement to effect a Drag-along Sale. The Drag-along Notice shall make reference to the Dragging Stockholder’s rights and obligations hereunder and shall describe in reasonable detail:

(i) the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Dragging Stockholder, if the Drag-along Sale is structured as a Transfer of Common Stock;

(ii) the identity of the Third Party Purchaser;

(iii) the proposed date, time and location of the closing of the Drag-along Sale;

(iv) the per share purchase price and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof; and

(v) a copy of any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith.

(c) If the Drag-along Sale is structured as a Transfer of Common Stock, then, subject to Section 14(d), the Dragging Stockholder and each Drag-along Stockholder shall Transfer the number of shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock the Third Party Purchaser proposes to buy as stated in the Drag-along Notice and (y) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents then held by such Dragging Stockholder or Drag-along Stockholder, as the case may be, and (B) the denominator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents then held by all of the Stockholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Dragging Stockholder).

(d) The consideration to be received by a Drag-along Stockholder shall be the same form and amount of consideration per share of Common Stock to be received by the Dragging Stockholder (or, if the Dragging Stockholder is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, the same option shall be given) and the terms and conditions of such Transfer shall, except as otherwise provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, be the same as those upon which the Dragging Stockholder Transfers its Common Stock. Each Drag-along Stockholder shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements as the Dragging Stockholder makes or provides in connection with the Drag-along Sale (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements pertaining specifically to the Dragging Stockholder, the Drag-along Stockholder shall make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements pertaining specifically to itself); provided, that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by the Dragging Stockholder and each Drag-along Stockholder severally and not jointly and further provided that no Drag-along Stockholder shall be required to provide any indemnification to the Third Party Purchaser other than in respect of actions taken or defaults caused by such Drag-along Stockholder.

(e) The fees and expenses of the Dragging Stockholder incurred in connection with a Drag-along Sale shall be paid by the Dragging Stockholder to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Third Party Purchaser.

(f) Each Drag-along Stockholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Drag-along Sale, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by the Dragging Stockholder.

(g) The Dragging Stockholder shall have 120 days following the date of the Drag-along Notice in which to consummate the Drag-along Sale, on the terms set forth in the Drag-along Notice (which such 120 day period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed 180 days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals). If at the end of such period, the Dragging Stockholder has not completed the Drag-along Sale, the Dragging Stockholder may not then effect a transaction subject to this Section 14 without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 14.

Section 15. Tag Along Rights.

(a) After the occurrence a Standstill Termination Event, except for transfers effected on an Exchange, if a Senior Management Shareholder or a Stockholder who holds no less than 51% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company (the “Selling Stockholder”) proposes to Transfer any shares of its Common Stock to a Third Party Purchaser (the “Proposed Transferee”) and the Selling Stockholder cannot or has not elected to exercise its drag-along rights set forth in Section 14, each other Stockholder (each, a “Tag-along Stockholder”) shall be permitted to participate in such Transfer (a “Tag-along Sale”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 15.

(b) Prior to the consummation of any such Transfer of Common Stock described in Section 15(a), the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Company and each other Stockholder a written notice (a “Sale Notice”) of the proposed Tag-along Sale subject to this Section 15 no later than 10 Business Days prior to the execution of an agreement for a Tag-along Sale. The Sale Notice shall make reference to the Tag-along Stockholders’ rights hereunder and shall describe in reasonable detail:

(ii) the identity of the Proposed Transferee;

(iii) the proposed date, time and location of the closing of the Tag-along Sale;

(v) a copy of any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith.

(c) Each Tag-along Stockholder shall exercise its right to participate in a Transfer of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder subject to this Section 15 by delivering to the Selling Stockholder a written notice (a “Tag-along Notice”) stating its election to do so and specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be Transferred by it no later than five Business Days after receipt of the Sale Notice (the “Tag-along Period”). The offer of each Tag-along Stockholder set forth in a Tag-along Notice shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, such Tag-along Stockholder shall be bound and obligated to Transfer in the proposed Transfer on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 15. The Selling Stockholder and each Tag-along Stockholder shall have the right to Transfer in a Transfer subject to this Section 15 the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock the Proposed Transferee proposes to buy as stated in the Sale Notice and (y) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents then held by the Selling Stockholder or such Tag-along Stockholder, as the case may be, and (B) the denominator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents then held by all of the Stockholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Selling Stockholder).

(d) Each Tag-along Stockholder who does not deliver a Tag-along Notice in compliance with Section 15(c) above shall be deemed to have waived all of such Tag-along Stockholder’s rights to participate in such Transfer, and the Selling Stockholder shall (subject to the rights of any participating Tag-along Stockholder) thereafter be free to Transfer to the Proposed Transferee its shares of Common Stock at a per share price that is no greater than the per share price set forth in the Sale Notice and on terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to the Selling Stockholder than those set forth in the Sale Notice without any further obligation to the non-accepting Tag-along Stockholders.

(e) Each Tag-along Stockholder participating in a Transfer pursuant to this Section 15 shall receive the same consideration per share as the Selling Stockholder after deduction of such Tag-along Stockholder’s proportionate share of the related expenses in accordance with Section 15(g) below.

(f) Each Tag-along Stockholder shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements as the Selling Stockholder makes or provides in connection with the Tag-along Sale (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements pertaining specifically to the Selling Stockholder, the Tag-along Stockholder shall make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to itself); provided, that all representations, warranties, and covenants shall be made by the Selling Stockholder and each Tag-along Stockholder severally and not jointly and provided further that no Tag-along Stockholder shall have any indemnification obligation to the Proposed Transferee other than in respect of actions taken or defaults caused by such Tag-along Stockholder.

(g) The Selling Stockholder and each Tag-along Stockholder shall be responsible for its own expenses.

(h) Each Tag-along Stockholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Tag-along Sale, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by the Selling Stockholder.

(i) The Selling Stockholder shall have 120 Business Days following the expiration of the Tag-along Period in which to Transfer the shares of Common Stock described in the Sale Notice, on the terms set forth in the Sale Notice (which such 120 Business Day period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed 180 Business days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals). If at the end of such 120 Business day period, the Selling Stockholder has not completed such Transfer, the Selling Stockholder may not then effect a Transfer of Common Stock subject to this Section 15 without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 15.

(j) If the Selling Stockholder Transfers to the Proposed Transferee any of its shares of Common Stock in breach of this Section 15, then each Tag-along Stockholder shall have the right to Transfer to the Selling Stockholder, and the Selling Stockholder undertakes to purchase from each Tag-along Stockholder, the number of shares of Common Stock that such Tag-along Stockholder would have had the right to Transfer to the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 15, for a per share amount and form of consideration and upon the terms and conditions on which the Proposed Transferee bought such Common Stock from the Selling Stockholder, and without indemnity being granted by any Tag-along Stockholder to the Selling Stockholder; provided, that, nothing contained in this Section 15 shall preclude any Stockholder from seeking alternative remedies against such Selling Stockholder as a result of its breach of this Section 15. The Selling Stockholder shall also reimburse each Tag-along Stockholder for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Tag-along Stockholder’s rights.

(v) if any Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable or if the removal or reversal of such order, decree, ruling or other action should constitute a Burdensome Condition.

(a) The Company will be deemed not to have used all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become, or to remain, effective during the requisite period if the Company voluntarily takes any action that would, or omits to take any action which omission would, result in any such Registration Statement not being declared or becoming effective or in the Standby Purchaser not being able to offer and sell the Shares during that period as and to the extent contemplated hereby, unless such action is required by applicable law.

(h) cooperate with the Standby Purchaser to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing such Shares (or statements of Shares owned, if the Company’s shares of common stock are issued in book entry only form) to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends and registered in such names as the Standby Purchaser or the underwriters, if any, may reasonably request at least three business days prior to the closing of any sale of Shares;

4. Indemnification; Contribution.

(a) With respect to the Securities, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Standby Purchaser, each Person who participates as an underwriter (any such Person being an “Underwriter”) and each Person, if any, who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act with respect to the Securities as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) pursuant to which Shares were registered under the 1933 Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 4(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by any indemnified party), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Standby Purchaser or Underwriter expressly for use in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(b) The Standby Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Underwriter, and each of their respective directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 4(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus included therein (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information with respect to such the Standby Purchaser furnished to the Company by such the Standby Purchaser expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided, however, that the Standby Purchaser shall not be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by the Standby Purchaser from the sale of Shares pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.

(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 4 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 4(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Standby Purchaser, and Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Standby Purchaser, and Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Standby Purchasers, or Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company, the Standby Purchasers, and Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 4. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 4 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, neither the Standby Purchaser nor any Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by the Standby Purchaser from the sale of the Shares exceeds the amount of any damages which the Standby Purchaser or Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission with respect to the Shares from the sale of the Shares.

No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 4, each Person, if any, who controls the Standby Purchaser or any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Standby Purchaser or Underwriter and each director of the Company, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

5. Miscellaneous.

5.1 Rule 144 and Rule 144A. For so long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the 1934 Act, the Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the 1933 Act and Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder. If the Company ceases to be so required to file such reports, the Company covenants that it will upon the request of the Standby Purchaser (a) make publicly available such information as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (b) deliver such information to a prospective purchaser as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and it will take such further action as the Standby Purchaser may reasonably request, and (c) take such further action that is reasonable in the circumstances, in each case, to the extent required from time to time to enable the Standby Purchaser to sell its Shares without registration under the 1933 Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, (ii) Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (iii) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of the Standby Purchaser, the Company will deliver to the Standby Purchaser a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

5.2 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered first-class mail, email, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (a) if to Standby Purchaser, initially at the Standby Purchaser’s address set forth in the Agreement, and thereafter at the most current address given by Standby Purchaser to the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4; and (b) if to the Company, initially at the Company’s address set forth in the Agreement, and thereafter at such other address of which notice is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4.

Copies of all such notices, demands, or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the person giving the same to the Trustee under the Indenture, at the address specified in such Indenture.

5.3 Specific Enforcement. Without limiting the remedies available to the Standby Purchaser, the Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Sections 2.1 through 2.4 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Standby Purchaser for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it would not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Standby Purchaser may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Sections 2.1 through 2.4 hereof.
