ARTICLE II
REGISTRATIONS
2.1 Demand Registration for Non-Shelf Offerings
2.1.1 Request for Registration. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 3.5 hereof, at any time and from time to time, the holders of a majority of the THL Registrable Securities (the “Demanding THL Holders”) may make a written demand for Registration of all or part of their respective Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement (“Long-Form Registrations”) or on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement (“Short-Form Registrations”), if available, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand a “Demand Registration”). All Long-Form Registrations will be underwritten registrations unless otherwise approved by THL
7
Agiliti. Demand Registrations will be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form unless otherwise requested by THL Agiliti. The Company shall, within five (5) Business Days of the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company; provided that, with the written consent of THL Agiliti, the Company may, or at the written request of THL Agiliti, the Company shall, instead provide notice of the Demand Registration to all other Holders within three (3) Business Days following the non-confidential filing of the registration statement with respect to the Demand Registration so long as such registration statement is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement (defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a Requesting Holder also separately possesses Demand Registration rights pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 but is not the Holder who exercised such Demand Registration rights, the exercise by such Requesting Holder of its rights pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not count as the exercise by it of one of its Demand Registration rights. Upon receipt by the Company of any written notification from a Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have its Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall effect, as soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than twenty (20) days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding THL Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration. The holders of a majority of THL Registrable Securities will have the right to initiate up to three (3) Demand Registrations in a twelve-month period pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 on behalf of the Holders of THL Registrable Securities; provided, however, that a Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless the Registration Statement has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Requesting Holders to be registered on behalf of the Requesting Holders in such Registration have been sold, in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement; provided, further, that the Company will not be required to effect more than one Demand Registration in any consecutive 90-day period. Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the notice of Demand Registration and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice of Demand Registration without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
2.1.2 Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.1.1 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration (i) unless and until the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and
8
until, (a) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (b) the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities participating in the Registration elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days of such removal, rescission or termination, of such election; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.
2.1.3 [Reserved.]
2.1.4 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding THL Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding THL Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities 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 THL Registrable Securities, the Executive Registrable Securities and the Other Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Registration shall be included in such Underwritten Offering pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder thereof Beneficially Owns and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that such Holders Beneficially Own (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”), in an aggregate amount up to the Maximum Number of Securities.
2.1.5 Demand Registration Withdrawal. Demanding THL Holders and Requesting Holders shall have the right to withdraw all or a portion of their Registrable Securities from a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw such Registrable Securities from such Registration (x) in the case of a Demand Registration not involving an Underwritten Offering, prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement or (y) in the case of any Demand Registration involving an Underwritten Offering, prior to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering. A notice of Demand Registration that has been revoked or withdrawn shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.5.
2.1.6 Limitation on Participation in Demand Registrations. The Company shall not grant to any other stockholders of the Company the right to request the Company to register any securities of the Company in a Demand Registration without the prior written consent of THL Agiliti.
9
2.2 Piggyback Registration.
2.2.1 Piggyback Rights. If the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company other than a Demand Registration governed by Section 2.1 or a Shelf Registration, Shelf Offering or Block Trade governed by Section 2.3), other than a Special Registration Statement, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not more than three (3) Business Days after the public filing of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”); provided that the Company shall not be required to provide such notice or include any Registrable Securities in such registration if THL Agiliti elects not to include any THL Registrable Securities in such registration, unless THL Agiliti otherwise consents in writing. The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof.
2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of the Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with Persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then
(a) if the Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, the Company shall include in any such Registration (i) first, the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which 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 THL Registrable Securities, the Executive Registrable Securities and the Other Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Registration Pro Rata; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
10
(b) if the Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s equity securities (other than pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof), then the Company shall include in any such Registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included in the Registration by the holders initially requesting such registration which 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 THL Registrable Securities, the Executive Registrable Securities and the Other Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Registration Pro Rata; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), other equity securities requested to be included by Persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities Pro Rata (calculated in the case of Persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities based upon such Person’s or entity’s Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock).
2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities 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 effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration. 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 terminate or withdraw any Registration Statement initiated by it under this Section 2.2, whether or not any holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include securities in such Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.
2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.
2.2.5 Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration is an Underwritten Offering, THL Agiliti shall select the legal counsel for the Company, the investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering.
2.3 Shelf Registrations.
2.3.1 Demands for Shelf Registration. The Demanding THL Holders initiating a Demand Registration may request that the registration be made pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration”) and, if the Company is a WKSI at the time any request for a Demand Registration is submitted to the Company, that such Shelf Registration be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”). Each such request for a Shelf Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the intended method of distribution, which shall permit, in addition to firm commitment Underwritten Offerings, any other lawful means of disposition of Registrable Securities. Within two (2) Business Days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of the Demand Registration to all other
11
Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities (defined below) that have been identified as selling stockholders in such Shelf Registration Statement and are otherwise permitted to sell in such Shelf Registration, and, subject to the terms of subsection 2.1.4, shall include in such Demand Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within seven (7) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. Until such time as all Registrable Securities cease to be Registrable Securities or the Company is no longer eligible to maintain a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will keep current and effective such Shelf Registration Statement and file such supplements or amendments to such Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary or appropriate in order to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and usable for the resale of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act.
2.3.2 Non-Underwritten Shelf Offerings. Subject to the provisions of Section Section 3.5 hereof, in the event that a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) is effective, the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement shall have the right at any time or from time to time to elect to sell pursuant to an offering (other than an Underwritten Offering), Registrable Securities available for sale pursuant to such Registration Statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”), and shall make such election by delivering to the Company a written notice (a “Shelf Offering Notice”) with respect to such offering specifying the number of Shelf Registrable Securities that such Holders desire to sell pursuant to such offering (the “Shelf Offering”). A Holder’s election to sell Shelf Registrable Securities in a Shelf Offering that is not an Underwritten Offering shall not trigger any notification or participation rights hereunder.
2.3.3 Underwritten Shelf Offerings. The holders of a majority of the THL Registrable Securities shall have the right at any time or from time to time to elect to sell Shelf Registrable Securities pursuant to an Underwritten Offering, and shall make such election by delivering to the Company a Shelf Offering Notice with respect to such Underwritten Offering specifying the number of Shelf Registrable Securities that such Holders desire to sell pursuant to such offering. As promptly as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Shelf Offering Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such Shelf Offering Notice to all other Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities. The Company, subject to subsection 2.3.6 and Section 3.5, shall include in such Shelf Offering the Shelf Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities that shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such Shelf Offering (which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within seven (7) days after the receipt of the Shelf Offering Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible (and in any event within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of a Shelf Offering Notice), use its best efforts to facilitate such Shelf Offering. Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the Shelf Offering Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in the Company’s notice regarding the Shelf Offering Notice without the prior written consent of the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities initiating such Shelf Offering until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
12

3.4 Stockholder Lock-Up Agreements and Company Holdback Agreements.
3.4.1 Stockholder Lock-Up Agreements. In connection with any Underwritten Offering and if requested by Underwriters managing such Underwritten Offering, each Holder shall enter into customary lock-up agreements with the managing Underwriter(s) of an Underwritten Offering, in each case with such modifications and exceptions as may be approved by THL Agiliti.

accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission) (collectively, “Securities”), or any securities, options or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Securities (collectively, “Other Securities”), (B) enter into a transaction which would have the same effect as described in clause (A) above, (C) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences or ownership of any Securities or Other Securities, whether such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such Securities or Other Securities, in cash or otherwise (each of (A), (B) and (C) above, a “Sale Transaction”), or (D) publicly disclose the intention to enter into any Sale Transaction, commencing on the earlier of the date on which the Company gives notice to the Holders that a preliminary prospectus has been filed for such Underwritten Offering or the “pricing” of such offering and continuing to the date that is (x) 180 days following the date of the final Prospectus for such offering in the case of the initial Public Offering, or (y) in case of all subsequent Underwritten Offerings, 90 days following the date of the final Prospectus for such offering (or, in each case, such shorter period of time as requested by the Underwriters managing such Underwritten Offering) (a “Holdback Period”), in each case with such modifications and exceptions as may be approved by THL Agiliti. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar with respect to any Securities or Other Securities subject to the restrictions set forth in this subsection 3.4.1 until the end of such Holdback Period.

If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, 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, but in no event more than sixty (60) days, determined in good faith by the Board to be necessary for such purpose, or more than once in any 12-month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.5 and shall not make use of the rights under this Section 3.5 more than once in any 12-month period.

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. 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 sell shares of the Common Stock 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 providing any legal opinion. 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.

Each Holder that is an officer of the Company agrees that if and for so long as he or she is employed by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, he or she will participate fully in the sale process in a manner customary for persons in like positions and consistent with his or her other duties with the Company, including the preparation of the Registration Statement and the preparation and presentation of any road shows.
3.8 In-Kind Distributions. If THL Agiliti or any of their respective Affiliates seek to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of their respective Registrable Securities to their respective direct or indirect equityholders, the Company shall, subject to any applicable lock-ups, work with the foregoing Persons to facilitate such in-kind distribution in the manner reasonably requested and consistent with the Company’s obligations under the Securities Act.
3.9 Automatic Shelf Registration Statements. If the Company files any Automatic Shelf Registration Statements for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Holders, and THL Agiliti does not request that its Registrable Securities be included in such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the Company agrees that, at the request of THL Agiliti, it will include in such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B in order to ensure that THL Agiliti may be added to such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement at a later time through the filing of a Prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment. If the Company has filed any Automatic Shelf Registration Statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Holders, the Company shall, at the request of THL Agiliti, file any post-effective amendments necessary to include therein all disclosure and language necessary to ensure that the Holders may be added to such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement.
3.10 Additional Information. The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any Registration is being effected to furnish the Company with such information regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing, as a condition to such seller’s participating in such Registration.
21
3.11 Other. To the extent that any of the Demanding THL Holders is or may be deemed to be an “underwriter” of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Commission comments or policies, the Company agrees that (i) the indemnification and contribution provisions contained in Article IV shall be applicable to the benefit of such Demanding THL Holder in their role as an underwriter or deemed underwriter in addition to their capacity as a holder and (ii) such Demanding THL Holder shall be entitled to conduct the due diligence which they would normally conduct in connection with an offering of securities registered under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, receipt of customary opinions and comfort letters addressed to such Demanding THL Holder.
ARTICLE IV
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
4.1 Indemnification.
4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify and hold free and harmless, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, partners, stockholders or members, affiliates, consultants, fiduciaries, managers, employees, agents and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) caused by any of the following (each, a “Violation”): (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Company will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses, except insofar as any such Losses arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in filing in reliance upon and in conformity with any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Party, relating to such Indemnified Party, expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Indemnified Parties.
4.1.2 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 as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) from and against any Losses resulting from (as determined by a final and appealable judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction) any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact
22
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Company and such other indemnitees for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending such Losses, but only to the extent that the same arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such filing in reliance upon and in conformity with any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Indemnified Party, relating to such Indemnified Party, 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 Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Underwriter shall require any Holder of Registrable Securities to provide any indemnification other than that provided hereinabove in this Section 4.1.2, and if, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts, an Underwriter requires any Holder of Registrable Securities to provide additional indemnification, such Holder may elect not to participate in such Underwritten Offering (but shall not have any claim against the Company as a result of such election).
4.1.3 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 or potential conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the 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 prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) and which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault or culpability on the part of such Indemnified Party or 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.
4.1.4 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, partner, stockholder, member or controlling Person of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Loss referred to herein, then such indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Loss 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 or parties on the one hand and the Indemnified Party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Loss shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or the Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder or any director, officer or controlling person thereof under this subsection 4.1.5 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 subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceedings. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 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 subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Subsidiary Public Offering. If, after an initial Public Offering of the common equity securities of one of its Subsidiaries, the Company distributes securities of such Subsidiary to its equityholders, then the rights and obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement will apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Subsidiary, and the Company will cause such Subsidiary to comply with such Subsidiary’s obligations under this Agreement as if it were the Company hereunder.
5.2 Joinder; Additional Parties; Transfer of Registrable Securities.
5.2.1 Joinder. The Company may from time to time (with the prior written consent of THL Agiliti) permit any Person who acquires Common Stock (or rights to acquire Common Stock) to become a party to this Agreement and to be entitled to and be bound by all of the rights and obligations as a Holder by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Person in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (a “Joinder”). Upon the execution and delivery of a Joinder by such Person, the Common Stock held by such Person shall become the category of Registrable Securities (i.e. THL Registrable Securities, Other Holder Registrable Securities or Executive Registrable Securities) and such Person shall be deemed the category of Holder (i.e. THL Agiliti, Other Holder or Executive) in each case as set forth on the signature page to such Joinder.
24
5.2.2 Restrictions on Transfers. Prior to transferring any Registrable Securities to any Person (including, without limitation, by operation of law), the transferring Holder must first obtain the prior written consent of THL Agiliti, and if so obtained, cause the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder, except that such consent and Joinder shall not be required in the case of (i) a transfer to the Company, (ii) a transfer by THL Agiliti to its partners or members, (iii) a Public Offering, (iv) a sale pursuant to Rule 144 after the completion of the initial Public Offering and/or (v) a transfer in connection with a Sale of the Company. Any transfer or attempted transfer of Registrable Securities in violation of any provision of this Agreement will be void, and the Company will not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Registrable Securities as the owner thereof for any purpose (but the Company will be entitled to enforce against such Person the obligations hereunder).
5.2.3 Legend. Each certificate (if any) evidencing any Registrable Securities and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the transfer of any Registrable Securities (unless such Registrable Securities would no longer be Registrable Securities after such transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF _________ __, 20__ AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “COMPANY”) AND CERTAIN OF THE COMPANY’S EQUITYHOLDERS, AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”
The Company will imprint such legend on certificates evidencing Registrable Securities outstanding prior to the date hereof. The legend set forth above will be removed from the certificates evidencing any securities that have ceased to be Registrable Securities.
5.3 Notices. Any notice, demand or other communication under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been given (i) three Business Days after it is deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the party to be notified, postage prepaid and registered or certified with return receipt requested, (ii) when delivered in person to the recipient, (iii) one Business Day after it is sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid), or (iv) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; but if not, then on the next Business Day. Such notices, demands and other communications will be sent to the Company at the address specified on the signature page hereto or any Joinder and to any Holder, or at such address or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party. Any party may change such party’s address for receipt of notice by giving prior written notice of the change to the sending party as provided herein. The Company’s address is:
25
Agiliti, Inc.
0000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000
Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000
Attention: Xxx Xxxxxxx
Email: xxx.xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx
with a copy to (which shall not constitute notice):
Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP
000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xx.
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000
Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, P.C.
Xxxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx
Email: xxxxxx.xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx
xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx
or to such other address or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party.
5.4 Assignment: No Third Party Beneficiaries.
5.4.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and permitted assigns and the Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns (whether so expressed or not).
5.4.2 No term or provisions of this Agreement is intended to be, or shall be, for the benefit of any Persons that are not parties hereto, and no such other Persons shall have any rights or causes of action hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
5.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including facsimile or PDF counterparts), any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute the same instrument, but only one of which need be produced.
5.6 Governing Law: Venue. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS APPLIED TO AGREEMENTS AMONG NEW YORK RESIDENTS ENTERED INTO AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.
5.7 Amendments and Modifications. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the written consent of the Company and THL Agiliti, 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; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that materially and adversely affects a
26
Holder or group of Holders solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company in a manner that is materially different from any other Holder or group of Holders shall require the consent of holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities of such group so adversely affected. 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.
5.8 Remedies. The parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing hereunder, any party shall be entitled to specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
5.9 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction, such prohibition, invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
5.10 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement contains the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way, including, without limitation, the Existing Registration Rights Agreement.
5.11 Business Days. If any time period for giving notice or taking action hereunder expires on a day that is not a Business Day, the time period will automatically be extended to the Business Day immediately following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
5.12 MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED FOR INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (AFTER HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL), EACH PARTY HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
27
5.13 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RELATED AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ANY PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR DOCUMENT BY U.S. REGISTERED MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S RESPECTIVE ADDRESS SET FORTH ABOVE WILL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTERS TO WHICH IT HAS SUBMITTED TO JURISDICTION IN THIS PARAGRAPH. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY IN ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, AND HEREBY AND THEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
5.14 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and each Holder agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement, will be had against any current or future director, officer, employee, general or limited partner or member of any Holder or any Affiliate or assignee thereof, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever will attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any current or future officer, agent or employee of any Holder or any current or future member of any Holder or any current or future director, officer, employee, partner or member of any Holder or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such for any obligation of any Holder under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.
5.15 Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement will be by way of example rather than by limitation.
5.16 No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
5.17 Electronic Delivery. This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent executed and delivered by means of a photographic, photostatic, facsimile or similar reproduction of such signed writing
28
using a facsimile machine or electronic mail will be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument will raise the use of a facsimile 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 facsimile machine or electronic mail as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.
5.18 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Holder agrees to execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
5.19 Dividends, Recapitalizations, Etc. If at any time or from time to time there is any change in the capital structure of the Company by way of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment will be made in the provisions hereof so that the rights and privileges granted hereby will continue.
