Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder to the Company, such Requesting Holder shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall effect, as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to file a Registration Statement relating thereto as soon as reasonably practicable, but not more than 45 days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration; provided the Company shall not be required to file such Registration Statement (or an amendment thereto) during any period for which it has not yet filed financial statements with the Commission that would be required to be included in such Registration Statement and the due date for filing of such financial statements under the rules and regulations of the Commission has not yet elapsed.

The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder’s agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriters selected for such Underwritten Offering. 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.
2.3 Shelf Registrations.
2.3.1 Filing. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file a Registration Statement with the Commission for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”), since it will be ineligible to use a Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf” and, together with a “Form S-1 Shelf”, a “Shelf”) as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than 30 calendar days following the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), covering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two business days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof and no later than the earlier of (x) the 90th calendar day following the Filing Date if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Shelf and (y) the 10th business day after the date the Company is notified in writing by the Commission that such Shelf will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Such Shelf 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 a 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 a Shelf continuously effective, available for use to permit all 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. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.
12
2.3.2 Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities included thereon 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 obtaining 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 (determined as of two 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 all 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 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.
2.3.3 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 request of the Charterhouse Holders or the GS Founder Share Members, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, any then available Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or by filing a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for each of the Charterhouse Holders and the GS Founder Share Members.
2.3.4 Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. Subject to Section 2.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective Form S-3 Shelf is on file with the Commission, the Demanding Holders may request to sell all or any portion of such Demanding Holders’ Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns (other than Block Trades) shall be made by giving written notice to the Company at least fifteen 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
13
Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown the securities requested to be included by any Holder within 5 business days of receipt of a notice of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to written contractual Piggyback Registration rights of such holder (including those set forth herein).
2.4 Block Trades. If the Charterhouse Holders or the GS Founder Share Members wish to consummate an overnight block trade (on either an SEC-registered or non-registered basis, a “Block Trade”), then notwithstanding the time periods and piggyback rights otherwise provided herein, such Holder shall, if it would like the assistance of the Company, endeavor to give the Company sufficient advance notice in order to prepare the appropriate documentation for such transaction; provided the Company shall have no obligations under this Section 2.4 if the proposed aggregate offering amount of the Block Trade is less than $40 million. If requesting an SEC-registered Block Trade requiring the Company to file a prospectus or prospectus supplement, the applicable Holders (1) shall give the Company written notice of the transaction and the anticipated launch date of the transaction at least three (3) business days prior to the anticipated launch date of the transaction, (2) the Company shall be required to only notify the Charterhouse Holders and the GS Founder Share Members of the transaction and none of the other Holders; provided, however, that the Charterhouse Holders and the GS Founder Share Members may each determine, in its discretion, to notify other Holders, (3) the Charterhouse Holders, the GS Founder Share Members, and any other Holders that have been notified of the Block Trade pursuant to the foregoing clause (2), shall have one (1) business day prior to the launch of the transaction to determine if they wish to participate in the Block Trade and (4) the Company shall include in the Block Trade only shares held by the Charterhouse Holders and the GS Founder Share Members or any other Holders participating pursuant to the foregoing clauses (2) and (3), subject to Section 2.6. This Section 2.4 shall not restrict a Holder from undertaking a Block Trade independently that is either non-registered or does not otherwise require Company assistance in filing a prospectus or prospectus supplement.
2.5 Underwritten Offering. The Demanding Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown, or in the case of a Registration pursuant to a Charterhouse Demand Right, the Charterhouse Holders solely, may advise the Company that such Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering and shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks) subject to the Company’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this Section 2.4 shall sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriters selected for such Underwritten Offering and execute such documents and certificates and cooperate with requirements of such underwriting agreement as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith, including providing any legal opinions customarily provided by selling stockholders in an Underwritten Offering.
14
2.6 Reduction of Underwritten Offering or Block Trade. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters (or other sales agent) in an Underwritten Offering or Block Trade, in good faith, advise the Company and the participating Holders that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering or Block Trade 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 or Block Trade, as follows:
(a) if the Underwritten Offering is pursuant to a Demand Registration, an Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Block Trade, the Registrable Securities of the Holders that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, determined pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering; and
(b) if the Underwritten Offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (i) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, and (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof determined pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering; provided that the Registrable Securities of the Charterhouse Holders shall not be reduced below the amount that is included pursuant to clause (i) less the Maximum Number of Securities unless they are the only Holders participating in such Underwritten Offering.
2.7 Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder participating in a Registration has the right to withdraw from a 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 from such Registration prior to: (i) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration or (ii) in the case of an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the public announcement thereof.
2.8 Restrictions on Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any Registration or Underwritten Offering pursuant to Article II if:
(a) during the period starting with the date 60 days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date 120 days after the effective date of, a Company initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1.2, it continues to actively employ, in good faith, its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective;
(b) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer;
15
(c) in the case of a Demand Registration, the Registrable Securities to be included therein have a gross aggregate offering price of less than $100 million;
(d) in the case of an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the Registrable Securities to be included therein have a gross aggregate offering price of less than $50 million;
(e) the Company has effected at least four (4) Demand Registrations, Underwritten Shelf Takedowns or Underwritten Offerings (excluding Piggyback Registrations), each resulting in a consummated offering, in the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of a request for such Registration; provided this clause (e) shall not apply to non-registered Block Trades or Block Trades in which the Company does not need to file a prospectus or prospectus supplement;
(f) any Registration Statement is suspended pursuant to Section 3.4; or
(g) in the good faith judgment of the Board, such Registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer (or a Co-Chief Executive Officer, if applicable), the President or the Secretary of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement; provided in the case of this clause (g), the Company shall only have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 90 days and not more than once in any 12-month period.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to effect or permit any Registration or cause any Registration Statement to become effective, with respect to any Registrable Securities held by any Holder, until after the expiration of any Lock-up Period applicable to such Registrable Securities.
2.9 Market Stand-off. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, if requested by the Underwriters managing the offering, each Holder that is an executive officer or director of the Company or the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and any other Holder reasonably requested by the managing Underwriter (including any Holder selling securities in such Underwritten Offering), agrees not to, and to execute a customary lock-up agreement (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders, including customary “mfn” release provisions) in favor of the managing Underwriters not to, Transfer any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than those included in such offering) or exercise any demand or piggyback rights hereunder, during the ninety (90) day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the managing Underwriters (but in no event less than 45 days)) beginning on the date of pricing such offering, except as expressly permitted by such lock-up agreement or in the event the managing Underwriters otherwise agree.

3.1.10 permit a representative 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, 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 and Underwriters agree to confidentiality arrangements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

The exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.
19
3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights. 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 he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as reasonably 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 Prospectus may be resumed. 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 reasonable period of time; provided, however, the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-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.

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. The Company further covenants that it shall furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities: (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after the time period contemplated by Rule 144(i)(2)), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).
20
ARTICLE IV
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
4.1 Indemnification.
4.1.1 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) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein.
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 (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in the Holder Information so furnished in writing by 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 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.
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 he, she or 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, 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, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that 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.
21
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 or controlling person 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 Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.
4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket 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 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 indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 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 Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket 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 4.1.5 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 Section 4.1.5. 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 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

provided that:

(y) a Target Shareholder may enter into a trading plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act during the Target Shareholder Lock-up Period so long as no Transfers are effected under such trading plan prior to the expiration of the Target Shareholder Lock-up Period and no voluntary public disclosure or announcement of such plan is made.

Any party may change its address for notice at any time and from time to time by written notice to the other parties hereto, and such change of address shall become effective 30 days after delivery of such notice as provided in this Section 6.1.
6.2 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
6.2.1 This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part.

6.2.3 For the avoidance of doubt, each of the GS Equity Investors or the Charterhouse Holders may assign its rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement to its Permitted Transferees and such Permitted Transferees shall, following the execution of a Joinder (as defined below) and effective upon such distribution, become a Holder hereunder, and the Registrable Securities which such Permitted Transferee receives in such distribution shall remain Registrable Securities until they cease to be Registrable Securities in accordance with the definition thereof.
6.2.4 Prior to the expiration of the applicable Lock-up Period, no Holder who is subject to a Lock-up Period may assign or delegate such Holder’s rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, except in connection with a transfer of Registrable Securities by such Holder to a Permitted Transferee and in accordance with the provisions of the agreement providing for such Lock-up Period and this Section 6.2; provided, that, with respect to each GS Founder Share Member and Charterhouse Holder, the rights, duties and obligations hereunder that are personal to such GS Founder Share Member and such Charterhouse Holder, as applicable, and may not be assigned or delegated in whole or in part, except that (x) a GS Founder Share Member shall be permitted to assign or delegate its rights, duties and obligations hereunder to one or more Affiliates of such GS Founder Share Member (it being understood that no such assignment or delegation shall reduce any rights, duties or obligations of such GS Founder Share Member or such transferees) and (y) a Charterhouse Holder shall be permitted to assign or delegate its rights, duties and obligations hereunder to one or more Affiliates of such Charterhouse Holder (it being understood that no such assignment or delegation shall reduce any rights, duties or obligations of such Charterhouse Holder or such transferees).
6.2.5 This Agreement shall not confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not parties hereto, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement and Section 6.2.
26
6.2.6 No assignment by any party hereto of such party’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate the Company unless and until the Company shall have received (i) written notice of such assignment as provided in Section 6.1 and (ii) an executed joinder to this Agreement from such successor or permitted assignee in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (a “Joinder”). Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in this Section 6.2 shall be null and void.
6.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, 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. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method, and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
6.4 Governing Law; Venue. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT (1) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW AND NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE LAWS AND RULES 327(B), AS APPLIED TO AGREEMENTS AMONG NEW YORK RESIDENTS ENTERED INTO AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN NEW YORK AND (2) SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, THE VENUE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN NEW YORK COUNTY IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
6.5 TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT 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.
6.6 Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities 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; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof shall also require the written consent of the GS Founder Share Members (provided that the GS Founder Share Members or their Permitted Transferees hold, in the aggregate, the applicable Requisite Percentage) and/or the Charterhouse Holders (provided that the Charterhouse Holders or their Permitted Transferees hold, in the aggregate, the applicable Requisite Percentage); provided, further, that any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one 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 the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and
27
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. For the avoidance of doubt, a waiver pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.6 may waive piggyback rights for all Holders pursuant to Section 2.2 so long as no Holders participate in an offering for which such piggyback rights would be applicable.
6.7 Other Registration Rights. Other than (i) the Other PIPE Investors who have registration rights with respect to their PIPE Shares pursuant to their Other PIPE Investors Subscription Agreements, (ii) as provided in that certain Warrant Agreement, dated June 29, 2020, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and (iii) as provided in the Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, 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.
6.8 Term. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Holder on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities; provided, however, the provisions of Article IV, Article V and this Article VI shall survive any termination.
6.9 Holder Information. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to the Company the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in order for the Company to make determinations hereunder.
6.10 Additional Holder; Joinder. In addition to persons or entities who may become Holders pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, subject to the prior written consent of the GS Founder Share Members and the Charterhouse Holders so long as, with respect to each of such parties, the GS Founder Share Members and their Permitted Transferees and the Charterhouse Holders and their Permitted Transferees hold, in the aggregate, the applicable Requisite Percentage, the Company may make any person or entity who acquires shares of Class A Common Stock or rights to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock after the date hereof a party to this Agreement (each such person, an “Additional Holder”) by obtaining an executed Joinder from such Additional Holder in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. Such Joinder shall specify the rights and obligations of the applicable Additional Holder under this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery and subject to the terms of a Joinder by such Additional Holder, the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company then owned, or underlying any rights then owned, by such Additional Holder (the “Additional Holder Common Stock”) shall be Registrable Securities to the extent provided herein and therein, and such Additional Holder shall be a Holder under this Agreement with respect to such Additional Holder Common Stock.
6.11 Conflicts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any term or provision of this Agreement and any term or provision the Assignment and Subscription Agreements, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
