Article 2
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

SECTION 2.1 Shelf Registration.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including without limitation, the proviso set forth in this Section 2.1(a) and the limits set forth in Section 2.2(a)), any Holder may by written notice delivered to the Company (the “Shelf Notice”) require the Company to file, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing date, a registration statement (which shall be on Form S-3 if then available to the Company), providing for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale, from time to time and in any manner of distribution as the requesting Holder(s) shall reasonably request, of an amount of Registrable Securities then held by such Holders that equals or is greater than the Registrable Amount (the “Shelf Registration Statement”); provided that, the Company shall not be required to file any such Shelf Registration Statement until the date that is 18 months after the date hereof except in the event the Warrant becomes (or is reasonably expected to become) exercisable pursuant to its terms on a date that is prior than 24 months after the date hereof. To the extent the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), the Company shall file the Shelf Registration Statement in the form of an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) or any successor form thereto. If registering a number of Registrable Securities, the Company shall pay the registration fee for all Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to an automatic shelf registration statement at the time of filing of the automatic shelf registration statement and shall not elect to pay any portion of the registration fee on a deferred basis. The Company may also amend an existing registration statement on Form S-3, including by post-effective amendment, in order to fulfill its obligations hereunder.

(b) Within five calendar days after receipt of a Shelf Notice pursuant to Section 2.1(a), the Company will deliver written notice thereof to all other Holders. Each other Holder may elect to participate with respect to its Registrable Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the plan and method of distribution set forth, or to be set forth, in such Shelf Registration Statement by delivering to the Company a written request to so participate within three calendar days after the Shelf Notice is received by any such Holder.

(c) Subject to Section 2.1(d), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold thereunder in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, or otherwise cease to be Registrable Securities.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing written notice to the Holders who elected to participate in the Shelf Registration Statement, to require such Holders to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement during any Blackout Period. In the event of a Blackout Period, the Company shall deliver to the Holders requesting registration a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company certifying that the conditions described in the definition of Blackout Period are met. Such certificate shall contain an approximation of the anticipated delay. Upon notice by the Company to such Holders of any such determination, each such Holder covenants that it shall, subject to Applicable Law, keep the fact of any such notice strictly confidential, and in the case of a Blackout Period pursuant to clause (y) of the definition of Blackout Period, promptly halt any offer, sale, trading or other Transfer by it or any of its Affiliates of any Registrable Securities for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company) and promptly halt any use, publication, dissemination or distribution of the Shelf Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein, and any amendment or supplement thereto by it and any of its Affiliates for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company) and, if reasonably so directed in writing by the Company, will deliver to the Company any copies then in such Xxxxxx’s possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that was in effect at the time of receipt of such notice.

(e) After the expiration of any Blackout Period and without any further request from a Holder, the Company, to the extent necessary, shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(f) At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if any Demand Shareholder delivers a notice to the Company (which, in the case of a Take-Down Notice that involves an Underwritten Offering, shall equal or be greater than the Registrable Amount) (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to sell all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Offering”), then the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering (taking into account, solely in connection with a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering (as defined below), the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other Holders pursuant to this Section 2.1). In connection with any Shelf Offering that is an Underwritten Offering and where the plan of distribution set forth in the applicable Take-Down Notice includes a customary “road show” (including an “electronic road show”) or other substantial marketing effort by the Company and the underwriters (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering”):

(i) such proposing Demand Shareholder(s) shall also deliver the Take-Down Notice to all other Demand Shareholders included on the Shelf Registration Statement and permit each such Holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration Statement in the Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering if such Holder notifies the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) and the Company within two Business Days after delivery of the Take-Down Notice to such Holder; and

(ii) if the lead managing underwriter(s) advises the Company and the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities sought to be sold in connection with such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering would materially and adversely affect the success thereof, then there shall be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering only such securities as the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) is advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such adverse effect, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated in the same manner as described in Section 2.2(g). Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Section 2.1, any Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering shall be subject to the same requirements, limitations, and other provisions of this Agreement as would be applicable to a Demand Registration (i.e., as if such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering were a Demand Registration), including Section 2.2(e)(ii) and Section 2.2(g).

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the requesting Demand Shareholder wishes to engage in a block sale or “bought” or “overnight” deal (including any such transaction off of a Shelf Registration Statement or an effective automatic shelf registration statement, or in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities under an automatic shelf registration statement for purposes of effectuating any such transaction), then notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions hereunder, no Holder shall be entitled to receive any notice of or have its Registrable Securities included in such transaction.

(h) Any time that a Shelf Offering involves a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering, the Requesting Shareholder(s) shall select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) that will serve as managing underwriters (including which such managing underwriters will serve as lead or co-lead) and underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities; provided, that such investment banker(s) and manager(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

SECTION 2.2 Demand Registrations.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, if the Company has failed to comply with its obligations under Section 2.1 (other than due to a material breach by a Holder of this Agreement), it being noted for the avoidance of doubt that any such failure shall not be deemed cured as a result of the Company’s compliance with this Section 2.2, the Demand Shareholder(s) (whether singular or plural, referred to herein as “Requesting Shareholders”) shall be entitled to make no more than (A) three written requests under this Section 2.2 and Section 2.1 in the aggregate in any twelve-month period and (B) six written requests under this Section 2.2 and Section 2.1 in the aggregate, of the Company (each, a “Demand”) for registration under the Securities Act of an amount of Registrable Securities then held by such Requesting Shareholders that equals or is greater than the Registrable Amount (a “Demand Registration,” and such registration statement, a “Demand Registration Statement”). Thereupon, the Company shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, file the Demand Registration Statement no later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of a Demand and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration as promptly as practicable under the Securities Act of:

(i) the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting Shareholders for disposition in accordance with the intended method of disposition stated in such Demand;

(ii) all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register pursuant to Section 2.2(b), but subject to Section 2.2(g); and

(iii) all shares of Common Stock which the Company may elect to register in connection with any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.2, but subject to Section 2.2(g);

all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities and the additional shares of Common Stock, if any, to be so registered.

(b) A Demand shall specify: (i) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Demand Registration, (ii) the intended method of disposition in connection with such Demand Registration, to the extent then known, and (iii) the identity of the Requesting Shareholder(s). Within three calendar days after receipt of a Demand, the Company shall give written notice of such Demand to all other Holders. The Company shall include in the Demand Registration covered by such Demand all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within five calendar days after the Company’s notice required by this paragraph has been given, provided that if such five-day period ends on a day that is not a Business Day, such period shall be deemed to end on the next succeeding Business Day. Each such written request shall comply with the requirements of a Demand as set forth in this Section 2.2(b).

(c) A Demand shall not be deemed to have been made and shall not count for purposes of the limitation on Demands in Section 2.2(a) (i) unless the Demand Registration Statement with respect thereto has become effective and has remained effective for a period of at least 105 calendar days or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration have actually been sold or otherwise disposed of thereunder (provided, that such period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holders refrain from selling any securities included in such registration statement at the request of the Company or the lead managing underwriter(s) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (ii) if, after it has become effective, such Demand Registration becomes subject, prior to 105 calendar days after effectiveness, to any stop order, injunction, or other order or requirement of the Commission or other Governmental Entity, other than by reason of any act or omission by the applicable Selling Shareholders (as defined below).

(d) Demand Registrations shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Shareholders.

(e) The Company shall not be obligated to (i) subject to Section 2.2(c), maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act filed pursuant to a Demand Registration for a period longer than 105 calendar days or (ii) effect any Demand Registration (A) within 90 calendar days of a “firm commitment” Underwritten Offering in which all Demand Shareholders were offered “piggyback” rights pursuant to Section 2.3 (subject to Section 2.3(b)) and at least 50% of the number of Registrable Securities requested by such Demand Shareholders to be included in such Demand Registration were included, (B) within 90 calendar days of the completion of any other Underwritten Offering (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Demand Registration) by the Company, a Holder or an Amazon Holder, or any shorter period during which the Company has agreed not to effect a registration or public offering of securities (in each case only to the extent that the Company has undertaken contractually to the underwriters of such Underwritten Offering not to effect any registration or public offering of securities), or (C) if, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, it is not feasible for the Company to proceed with the Demand Registration because of the unavailability of audited or other required financial statements of the Company or any other Person; provided, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such financial statements as promptly as practicable.

(f) The Company shall be entitled to (i) postpone (upon written notice to the Requesting Shareholders) the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for any Demand Registration and (ii) suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of any registration statement, in each case in the event of a Blackout Period until the expiration of the applicable Blackout Period. In the event of a Blackout Period, the Company shall deliver to the Holders requesting registration a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company certifying that the conditions described in the definition of Blackout Period are met. Such certificate shall contain an approximation of the anticipated delay. Upon notice by the Company to such Holders of any such determination, each such Holder covenants that, subject to Applicable Law, it shall keep the fact of any such notice strictly confidential, and in the case of a Blackout Period pursuant to clause (y) of the definition of Blackout Period, promptly halt any offer, sale, trading or other Transfer by it or any of its Affiliates of any Registrable Securities for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company) and promptly halt any use, publication, dissemination or distribution of the Demand Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein, and any amendment or supplement thereto by it and any of its Affiliates for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company).

(g) If, in connection with a Demand Registration that involves an Underwritten Offering, the lead managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company that, in its (their) good faith opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities sought to be registered in connection with such Demand Registration would adversely affect the success thereof, then the Company shall include in such registration statement only such securities as the Company is advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such adverse effect as follows and in the following order of priority: (i) first, up to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Demand Shareholders, which, in the opinion of the lead managing underwriter(s), can be sold without adversely affecting the success thereof, pro rata among such Demand Shareholders on the basis of the number of such Registrable Securities requested to be included by such Demand Shareholders; (ii) second, Equity Securities of the Company held by Amazon Holders that are of the same class or series as the Registrable Securities to be sold who properly requested to include such securities in such offering pursuant to the Amazon Transaction Agreement; (iii) third, a pro rata number of shares of Common Stock to consist of (y) Registrable Securities of Holders other than the Demand Shareholders, pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Holders, and (z) shares of Common Stock held by Other Demanding Sellers having rights of registration on parity with the Piggyback Sellers with respect to such offering (in each case, based on the number of shares of Common Stock properly requested to be included in such offering); and (iv) fourth, securities the Company proposes to sell.

(h) Any time that a Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, the Requesting Shareholder(s) shall select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) that will serve as managing underwriters (including which such managing underwriters will serve as lead or co-lead) and underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities; provided, that such investment banker(s) and manager(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(i) if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) to be sold by the Company as the Company, in its reasonable judgment, shall have determined, (B) second, shares of Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) held by Amazon Holders who properly requested to include such securities in such offering pursuant to the Amazon Transaction Agreement, (C) third, a pro rata number of shares of Common Stock to consist of (y) Registrable Securities of Piggyback Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Piggyback Sellers, and (z) shares of Common Stock held by Other Demanding Sellers having rights of registration on parity with the Piggyback Sellers with respect to such offering (in each case, based on the number of shares of Common Stock properly requested to be included in such offering), (D) fourth, shares of Common Stock sought to be registered by Other Demanding Sellers not otherwise encompassed by clause (C) of this Section 2.3(b)(i) pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Other Demanding Sellers, and (E) fifth, other shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by any Other Proposed Sellers;

(ii) if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering for an Amazon Holder pursuant to the Amazon Transaction Agreement, then (A) first, such number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) to be sold by the Amazon Holders who properly requested to include their securities in such offering pursuant to the Amazon Transaction Agreement in accordance with such agreement, (B) second, a pro rata number of shares of Common Stock to consist of (x) Registrable Securities of Piggyback Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Piggyback Sellers, and (y) shares of Common Stock held by Other Demanding Sellers having rights of registration on parity with the Piggyback Sellers with respect to such offering (in each case, based on the number of shares of Common Stock properly requested to be included in such offering), (C) third, shares of Common Stock sought to be registered by Other Demanding Sellers not otherwise encompassed by clause (B) of this Section 2.3(b)(ii) pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Other Demanding Sellers, (D) fourth, shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company, and (E), fifth, other shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by any Other Proposed Sellers; or

(iii) if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering other than for the Company’s own account or for an Amazon Holder’s account, then (A) first, shares of Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) held by Amazon Holders who properly requested to include such securities in such offering pursuant to the Amazon Transaction Agreement, (B) second, such number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) sought to be registered by each Other Demanding Seller pro rata in proportion to the number of securities sought to be registered by all such Other Demanding Sellers, (C) third, Registrable Securities of Piggyback Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Piggyback Sellers, (D) fourth, shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company, and (E) fifth, other shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by any Other Proposed Sellers.

(c) For clarity, in connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Section 2.3 for the Company’s account, the Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Piggyback Seller in the Underwritten Offering unless such Piggyback Seller accepts the reasonable and customary terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s), which shall be selected by the Company (subject to such lead managing underwriter(s) being reasonably acceptable to the Piggyback Sellers, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(d) If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any shares of Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) as set forth in this Section 2.3 and prior to the time the registration statement filed in connection with such Piggyback Registration is declared effective, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such shares of Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable), the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Piggyback Sellers within five Business Days thereof and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such particular withdrawn or abandoned Piggyback Registration; provided, that, if permitted pursuant to Section 2.2, the Demand Shareholders may continue the registration as a Demand Registration pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2.

SECTION 2.4 Withdrawal Rights. Any Holder having notified or directed the Company to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in a registration statement under the Securities Act or an Underwritten Offering shall have the right to withdraw any such notice or direction with respect to any or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration or offering, as applicable, by giving written notice to such effect to the Company prior to the effective date of such registration statement or the pricing date of such Underwritten Offering, as applicable. In the event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable registration or Underwritten Offering and such Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities for all purposes of this Agreement (subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement). No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn; provided, however, that in the case of a Demand Registration, if such withdrawal shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included in such registration below the Registrable Amount, then the Company shall as promptly as practicable give each Demand Shareholder seeking to register Registrable Securities notice to such effect, and within five days following the delivery of such notice, such Demand Shareholder still seeking registration shall, by written notice to the Company, elect to register additional Registrable Securities to satisfy the Registrable Amount (provided that such election shall cause such transaction to remain counted towards the limitation on Demands in Section 2.2(a))or elect that such registration statement not be filed, or if theretofore filed, be withdrawn. During such five-day period, the Company shall not file such registration statement if not theretofore filed, or if such registration statement has been theretofore filed, the Company shall not seek, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent, the effectiveness thereof. No Demand Registration withdrawn pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall count against the number of Demands which may have been made under Section 2.2(a) hereof.

SECTION 2.5 Hedging Transactions.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement relating to the registration, offer, and sale of Registrable Securities shall apply also to (i) any transaction which Transfers some or all of the economic risk of ownership of Registrable Securities, including any forward contract, equity swap, put or call, put- or call-equivalent position, collar, margin loan, sale of exchangeable security, or similar transaction (including the registration, offer, and sale under the Securities Act of Registrable Securities pledged to the counterparty to such transaction or of securities of the same class as the underlying Registrable Securities by the counterparty to such transaction in connection therewith), and that the counterparty to such transaction shall be selected in the sole discretion of the applicable Holder(s) and (ii) any derivative transactions in which a broker-dealer, other financial institution, or unaffiliated Person (each, a “Hedging Counterparty”) may sell Registrable Securities covered by any prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement including (subject to Section 2.5(b) below) short sale transactions using Registrable Securities pledged by a Holder or borrowed from the Holder or others and Registrable Securities loaned, pledged, or hypothecated to any such party (each, a “Hedging Transaction”); provided that the Holder’s legal counsel has determined in its reasonable judgment (after good faith consultation with counsel of the Company) that it is reasonably necessary to register under the Securities Act such Hedging Transaction. Any written information regarding the Hedging Transaction provided to the Company by a Hedging Counterparty for inclusion in any registration statement, prospectus, or free writing prospectus filed pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 shall, for purposes of Section 5.1(b), be deemed to be written information provided by a Selling Shareholder for purposes of Section 5.1(b).

(b) If in connection with a Hedging Transaction, a Hedging Counterparty or any Affiliate thereof is (or may reasonably be considered) an underwriter or selling shareholder, then the applicable Holder shall be required to provide, or cause such Hedging Counterparty or such Affiliate thereof to provide, customary indemnities to the Company regarding the plan of distribution and related matters.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.5, in no event shall Stonepeak or any of its Affiliates “loan” any Registrable Securities to “short sellers” of the Company’s securities or, without the prior written consent of the Company, Transfer any Registrable Securities to any Excluded Transferee.

(d) For avoidance of doubt, the clarifications provided in this Section 2.5 to the effect that Hedging Transactions are among the types of transactions covered by the provisions of this Agreement relating to the registration, offer, and sale of Registrable Securities shall in no manner be read to imply that any other particular types of transactions, by virtue of not having a similar clarifying provision in this Agreement, are not among the types of transactions covered by the provisions of this Agreement relating to the registration, offer, and sale of Registrable Securities.

SECTION 2.6 Holdback Agreements.

(a) Each Holder shall enter into customary agreements restricting the sale or distribution of Equity Securities of the Company (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to the extent required by the lead managing underwriter(s) with respect to an applicable Underwritten Offering in which such Holder participates for a period commencing on the date of such agreement and continuing until the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day after the date of the “final” prospectus (or “final” prospectus supplement if the Underwritten Offering is made pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement) pursuant to which such Underwritten Offering shall be made and (ii) the earliest date on which similar restrictions applicable to any of the Company’s directors or executive officers terminate or expire. The Company shall not include Registrable Securities of any Holder in such an Underwritten Offering unless such Holder enters into a customary agreement restricting the sale or distribution of Equity Securities of the Company (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) if requested by the lead managing underwriter(s) to the extent set forth in the preceding sentence.

(b) If any Demand Registration or Shelf Offering involves an Underwritten Offering, the Company will not, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its directors and executive officers to not, effect any sale or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) (other than an Excluded Registration Statement) for its (or their, as applicable) own account within 60 calendar days (plus an extension period as may be proposed by the lead managing underwriter(s) for such Underwritten Offering to address FINRA regulations regarding the publication of research, or such shorter periods as the lead managing underwriter(s) may agree with the Company) after the effective date of such registration except as may otherwise be agreed between the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s) of such Underwritten Offering.

(b) In connection with any registration statement in which a Selling Shareholder is participating, without limitation as to time, each such Selling Shareholder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors, officers, and employees and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from, or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact (i) contained in any registration statement or any amendment 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 or (ii) included in any prospectus, or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) 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, and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 5.1(b)) will reimburse the Company, its directors, officers, and employees and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) for any reasonable, customary, and reasonably documented legal and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability, or action, in each case solely to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, prospectus, or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Selling Shareholder for inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus, or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Shareholder shall be liable under this Section 5.1(b) for amounts in excess of the net proceeds (after deducting any underwriting discount or commission) received by such Holder from its sale of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to such liability.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis.

(d) In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and acknowledging the obligations of the indemnifying party with respect to such proceeding, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate, and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision, and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that (A) there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party or (B) such action involves, or is reasonably likely to have an effect beyond, the scope of matters that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.1, or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay, and in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in connection with retaining one separate legal counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, for all indemnified parties in connection therewith)). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any such assumption by an indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such matter and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party except as provided in the previous sentence. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its consent. No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), unless such settlement (x) includes 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, (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, and (z) is settled solely for cash for which the indemnified party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall survive the Transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this Agreement.

(f) If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements, or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, the Persons’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby agreed that it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. 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 found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Shareholder shall be required to make a contribution in excess of the net proceeds (after deducting any underwriting discount or commission) received by such Selling Shareholder from its sale of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation.

Article 6

TRANSFERS OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS

SECTION 6.1 Transfers of Registration Rights. The provisions hereof will inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of each of the Parties, except as otherwise provided herein; provided, however, that the registration rights granted hereby may be Transferred only (a) by operation of law, (b) if such transferee is a Permitted Transferee or (c) if such transfer is not made in accordance with clauses (a) and (b), with the express prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided, in each case, that any such transferee shall not be entitled to the rights provided in this Agreement unless such transferee of registration rights hereunder agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof and executes and delivers to the Company a duly executed Adoption Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.1, any Holder may elect to transfer all or a portion of its Registrable Securities to any third party without assigning its rights hereunder with respect thereto; provided, that in any such event all rights under this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities so transferred shall cease and terminate. References to a Party in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any such transferee or assignee permitted by this Section 6.1.

Article 7
MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 7.1 Requested Information. Not less than five Business Days before the expected filing date of each registration statement pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall notify each Holder who has timely provided the requisite notice hereunder entitling such Holder to register Registrable Securities in such registration statement of the information, documents, and instruments from such Holder that the Company or any underwriter reasonably requests in connection with such registration statement, including a questionnaire, custody agreement, power of attorney, lock-up letter, and underwriting agreement (the “Requested Information”). If the Company has not received, on or before the Business Day before the expected filing date, the Requested Information from such Holder, the Company may file the registration statement without including Registrable Securities of such Holder. The failure to so include in any registration statement the Registrable Securities of a Holder (with regard to that registration statement) shall not result in any liability on the part of the Company to such Holder.

SECTION 7.2 Conflicting Rights. The Company shall not grant to any Person any demand, piggyback, or shelf registration rights the terms of which would violate the rights granted to the Holders hereunder, or provide for superior “cutback” priority relative to the Holders, in each case, pursuant to Sections 2.1(f)(ii), 2.2(g), and 2.3(b)(i) through (iii) without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of Registrable Shares (which majority, if Stonepeak at such time owns any Registrable Securities, must include Stonepeak). For the avoidance of doubt, as of the date hereof and excluding the rights granted by the Company to the Amazon Holders pursuant to the Amazon Transaction Agreement, no such violative or superior rights have been granted by the Company to any Person.

SECTION 7.3 Free Writing Prospectuses. No Selling Shareholder shall use any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Selling Shareholder may use any free writing prospectus prepared and distributed by the Company.

SECTION 7.4 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith.

SECTION 7.5 Amendment; Termination. The provisions of this Agreement may only be amended by the written consent of the Company and Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (which majority, if Stonepeak at such time owns any Registrable Securities, must include Stonepeak). The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, as to any Holder, as of the date on which all Registrable Securities held by such Holder have been disposed.

SECTION 7.6 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (a) if sent by first-class mail, three Business Days following the date on which the piece of mail containing such communication is posted, (b) when sent, if sent by e-mail, provided that such e-mail is sent by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day (otherwise, the following Business Day), or (c) when delivered, if delivered by hand, via courier or by overnight delivery service to the intended recipient, provided that such delivery is delivered by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day (otherwise, the following Business Day).
