Article
II
REGISTRATIONS AND OFFERINGS
2.1 Registration.
2.1.1 Shelf Registration. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than forty-five (45) calendar days from the date of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to file (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration covering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) calendar days (or one-hundred twenty (120) calendar days if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) after the filing thereof and (ii) ten (10) business days after the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Such Shelf Registration shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain the Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, the Company shall effect any Shelf Registration on such appropriate registration form of the Commission (a) as shall be selected by the Company and (b) as shall permit the resale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities by the Holders. In the event the Company files a Shelf Registration on Form S-1, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3. Notwithstanding the obligations set forth in this Section 2.1.1, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single Registration Statement, the Company agrees to promptly (x) inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Shelf as required by the Commission and/or (y) withdraw the Shelf and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”) on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company for such registration statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to further limit its Registrable Securities to be included on the Registration Statement, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a Pro Rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event the Company amends the Shelf or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (x) or (y) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more Registration Statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Shelf, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.
2.1.2 Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional Registration Statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities from time to time (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1.2, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.
6 |
2.1.3 Additional Registrable Securities. In the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon written request by such Holder, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered, at the Company’s option, by any then available Registration Statement (including by means of a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment) or by filing a Subsequent Shelf Registration (and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing) and such Registration Statement or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for the Holders.
2.1.4 Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1.5, Section 2.4 and Section 3.4, a Priority Holder or a group of Priority Holders (such Priority Holder or group of Priority Holders being in such case, a “Demanding Holder”) may make a written request (a “Shelf Takedown Request”) to sell all or any portion of its, his or their Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to a Shelf in accordance with Section 2.1.1 (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided, that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder representing total gross offering proceeds reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate (and taking into account all Registrable Securities of other Persons that will be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown), twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company at least ten (10) business days prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall, within two (2) business days of receiving a Shelf Takedown Request, notify, in writing, all other Holders of such Shelf Takedown Request, and each Holder who thereafter requests to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Requesting Holders”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within two (2) business days (one (1) business day if such offering is an overnight or bought Underwritten Offering) of receiving such notice. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s), and only if such Requesting Holder(s) is an Eligible Piggybacking Holder, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to such Shelf Takedown Request. In such event, the right of any Holder or Requesting Holder to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 shall be conditioned upon such Xxxxxx’s or Requesting Xxxxxx’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s or Requesting Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All such Holders or Requesting Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such Underwritten Offering under this Section 2.1.4 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the Demanding Holders initiating such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not obligated to effect more than three (3) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns initiated by the Sponsor pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 and is not obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 within ninety (90) calendar days after the closing of an Underwritten Offering, Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. The Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder with the greatest number of Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to select any managing underwriter(s) (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks) in connection with such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided, that such selection shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and the Company shall have no responsibility for engaging any underwriter(s) for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any Holder request an Underwritten Shelf Takedown during their respective Lock-up Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.1.4 shall not apply to a Piggyback Registration conducted in accordance with Section 2.2.1 or Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings conducted in accordance with Section 2.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, only the Sponsor, the Shareholder Representative and their respective Permitted Transferees shall have the right to make a Shelf Takedown Request and effect an Underwritten Offering.
2.1.5 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises or advise the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, which have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities of the Company that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Priority Holders (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Priority Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that all such Priority Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Registrable Securities of the Requesting Holders that are not Priority Holders, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company held by other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Offering shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Offering by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of Section 2.1.5, unless either (i) such Demanding Holder has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Offering or (ii) such Demanding Holder reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Offering (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder, a Pro Rata portion of such Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering); provided that, if a Holder elects to continue an Underwritten Offering pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Offering shall instead count as an Underwritten Offering demanded by such Holder for purposes of Section 2.1.5. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.6, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this Section 2.1.6.

2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Eligible Piggybacking Holder shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the filing of the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by Persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include the Shelf) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement; provided, that Sponsor shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion at any time prior to executing the underwriting agreement, or if none, prior to the “pricing” of any offering relating to a Piggyback Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than Section 2.1.6), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.3.
2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown effected pursuant to a Shelf Takedown Request under Section 2.1.4 hereof.
2.3 Block Trades; Other Coordinated Offerings.
2.3.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, but subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in (a) an Underwritten Offering not involving a “road show,” an offer commonly known as a “block trade” (a “Block Trade”) or (b) an “at the market” or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal, (an “Other Coordinated Offering”), in each case, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, either (x) fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) or (y) all remaining Registrable Securities held by such Demanding Holder, then notwithstanding the time periods provided for in Section 2.2.1, if such Demanding Holder requires any assistance from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.3 such Holder only needs to notify the Company of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering at least five (5) business days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Company shall as promptly as is reasonably practicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; provided that the Demanding Holders representing a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.
2.3.2 Prior to the filing of the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, a majority in interest of the Demanding Holders that initiated such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to submit a Withdrawal Notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.3.2.
10 |
2.3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 2.2 hereof shall not apply to a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering initiated by a Demanding Holder pursuant to this Agreement.
2.3.4 The Demanding Holder wishing to engage in a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to select the Underwriters (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks) in connection with such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, provided that such selection shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
2.3.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not obligated to effect more than three (3) Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings demanded by the Sponsor and is not obligated to effect a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.3.5 within ninety (90) calendar days after the closing of an Underwritten Offering, Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. For the avoidance of doubt, any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Demanding Holder has used the maximum amount of Block Trades and Other Coordinated Offerings such Holder is entitled to under this Section 2.3.5 at a time in which it is entitled to demand an Underwritten Offering under Section 2.1.4, such Demanding Holder shall be entitled to demand the Company effect a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering in accordance with Section 2.3 in lieu of an Underwritten Offering (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall count towards the aggregate amount of Underwritten Offerings such Holder is entitled to demand pursuant to Section 2.1.4); provided that such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall not be within ninety (90) calendar days of the closing of another Block Trade, Other Coordinated Offering or Underwritten Offering.
2.4 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If the Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Shelf Takedown Request and, in the good faith judgment of the Board, such Underwritten Offering would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the undertaking of such Underwritten Offering at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company to undertake such Underwritten Offering in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the undertaking of such Underwritten Offering (any such period, a “Suspension Period”). In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such offering for a period of not more than sixty (60) business days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligations in this manner more than three (3) times in any twelve- (12-) month period.
2.5 Market Stand-off. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company (other than a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering), each Holder that directly or indirectly holds more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock (giving effect to the exercise of any equity or equity-linked securities held by such Holder) agrees that it shall not Transfer any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the ninety (90-) calendar day period beginning on the date of pricing of such offering; provided that such each Holder shall only be subject to the restriction set forth in this Section 2.5 if the directors and officers of the Company are subject to a lock-up obligation to the Underwriters managing the offering and the length of such lock-up for such Holder shall be no longer than the shortest lock-up of any such directors and officers; provided, further, that if the Company or the underwriters of such Underwritten Offering waive or shorten the lock-up period for any of the Company’s officers, directors or stockholders, then (i) all Holders subject to such lock-up shall receive notice of such waiver or modification no later than two (2) business days following such waiver or modification, and (ii) such lock-up will be similarly waived or shortened for each such Holder. Each Holder, if applicable, agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders).

3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;
3.1.10 in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade or an Other Coordinated Offering, permit a representative of the Holders (such representative to be selected by a majority of the Holders), the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such Person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters agree to confidentiality arrangements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

No Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, custody agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure.
3.4.1 Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Registration Statement or Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until he, she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Registration Statement or Prospectus may be resumed.
3.4.2 Subject to Section 3.4.4, if the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration or Underwritten Offering at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board such Registration, be seriously detrimental to the Company and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.4.2, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Registration Statement or Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any resale or other disposition of Registrable Securities. In addition, the Company may delay or suspend continued use of a Registration Statement or Prospectus in respect of a Registration or an Underwritten Offering in order to file and make effective a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement in connection with the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
3.4.3 Subject to Section 3.4.4, (a) during the period starting with the date thirty (30) calendar days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date ninety (90) calendar days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement and that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities held by the Sponsor being registered pursuant to a Piggyback Registration is not reduced pursuant to Section 2.2.2, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4 or 2.3.
3.4.4 The right to delay or suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.4.2 or a registered offering pursuant to Section 3.4.3 shall be exercised by the Company, in the aggregate, not more than three (3) times in any twelve-month period, and any such delay or suspension shall last for no more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days.
3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to the XXXXX System shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.5. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to resell or otherwise dispose of Registrable Securities held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including making available at all times information necessary to enable such Holder to comply with Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

IV
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
4.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Persons”) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Person expressly for use therein.
4.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits with respect to such Holder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus covering Registrable Securities of such Holder (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers, employees, advisors, representatives and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and inclusive of all reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement of each such persons’ rights under this Article V) resulting from any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement, but only to the extent that the same are made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to the Holder so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such selling Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
4.3 Any Person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim or there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
16 |
4.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, advisor, agent, representative, member or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Xxxxxx’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.
4.5 If the indemnification provided under Article V hereof is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall to the extent permitted by law contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the Misstatement or alleged Misstatement relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or such indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 4.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

This Agreement (and any other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement) may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including facsimile, electronic mail or other electronic transmission or PDF counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, but only one of which need be produced. No party shall raise the use of a fax machine or electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a fax machine or electronic mail as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each party forever waives any such defense.

5.5 TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
5.6 Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of (a) the Company and (b) the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; and provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects any Holder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of each such Holder so affected and (ii) any amendment or waiver hereof that adversely affects the rights expressly granted to the Sponsor shall require the consent of the Sponsor. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.
5.7 Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that no Person, other than a Holder, Persons who acquired Common Stock as part of the PIPE made in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, non-redeeming stockholders who have registration rights pursuant to their respective Non-Redemption Agreements with respect to equity securities of the Company issued in the closing of the Business Combination and J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration Statement filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement, including the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. Upon the closing, the Existing Registration Rights Agreement shall no longer be of any force or effect.

5.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements (as such term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement), constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings and discussions, whether oral or written, relating to such subject matter in any way and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements among the parties in connection with such subject matter except as set forth in this Agreement and therein.
19 |
5.11 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
5.12 In-Kind Distribution. If the Sponsor seeks to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of its Registrable Securities to its direct or indirect equityholders (an “In-Kind Distribution”), the Company will use reasonable best efforts to work with the Sponsor to facilitate such In-Kind Distribution in the manner reasonably requested. Prior to any In-Kind Distribution, each distributee shall deliver to the Company a written acknowledgment and agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the distributee will be bound by, and will be a party to, this Agreement; provided, however, that a failure by a distributee to deliver such acknowledgment and agreement shall not render such distribution to such distributee void, but such distributee shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until such time as such acknowledgment and agreement is delivered. Upon any In-Kind Distribution, (i) in the event of a distribution of all of the Sponsor’s Registrable Securities, the distributees holding Registrable Securities equal to a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities then held by the Sponsor at the time of such distribution shall thereafter be entitled to exercise and enforce the rights specifically granted to the Sponsor hereunder and (ii) each distributee shall be considered a “Holder” hereunder.
5.13 Shareholder Representative. The Shareholder Representative shall be responsible for exercising any right and performing any obligation pursuant to this Agreement of any Person that is a “Holder” by virtue of being controlled by the Shareholder Representative.
