For purposes of this Agreement, “Alternative Transaction” means any of (i) a transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which any person or group of persons other than the SG Parties and its Affiliates (such person or group of persons, a “Third Party”), acquires or would acquire, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 15% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such securities) representing 15% or more of the voting power of the Company, whether from the Company or pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer or otherwise, (ii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction pursuant to which any Third Party acquires or would acquire, directly or indirectly, assets or businesses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries representing 15% or more of the revenues, net income or assets (in each case on a consolidated basis) of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iii) any transaction pursuant to which any Third Party acquires or would acquire, directly or indirectly, control of assets (including for this purpose the outstanding equity securities of subsidiaries of the Company and any entity surviving any merger or combination including any of them) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries representing 15% or more of the revenues, net income or assets (in each case on a consolidated basis) of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (iv) any disposition of assets to a Third Party representing 15% or more of the revenues, net income or assets (in each case on a consolidated basis) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b) Except as permitted by this Section 4.4(b), neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify or modify, or fail to make, the approval or recommendation by such Board of Directors or such committee of the Interim Amendment, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Alternative Transaction (any action in clause (i) or this clause (ii) being referred to as a “Recommendation Change”), provided, that nothing herein shall restrict or otherwise limit the Company from making accurate disclosure to its stockholders of factual information regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company or, so long as the Company provides the SG Parties with reasonable advance notice and a copy of the proposed disclosure, the fact that a proposal the consummation of which would constitute an Alternative Transaction has been made, the identity of the party making such proposal or the terms of such proposal (and such disclosure shall not be deemed to be a Recommendation Change), so long as the disclosure through which such factual information is conveyed is not contrary to or inconsistent with the recommendation of the Interim Amendment made by the Board of Directors; or (iii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Affiliates to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement related to any Alternative Transaction or requiring, or reasonably likely to cause, the Company to terminate, delay or fail to consummate, or that would otherwise impede, interfere with or be inconsistent with, the consummation of the Interim Amendment, the Transaction or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 4.4(a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors determines in good faith (and after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, which shall include EP Securities LLC) that it has received a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors may (subject to this and the following sentences) effect a Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal and terminate this Agreement in accordance with, and subject to, Section 6.1(f), but only prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and at a time that is after the fifth Business Day following the SG Parties’ receipt of written notice from the Company advising the SG Parties that the Board of Directors has received a Superior Proposal specifying the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, identifying the person making such Superior Proposal and stating that it intends to make a Recommendation Change; provided that in the event of a subsequent modification to the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors may only effect a Recommendation Change after the third Business Day following the SG Parties’ receipt of written notice from the Company advising the SG Parties of the modification to such terms and conditions; and provided further that during such five or three Business Day notice period, as applicable, the Company engages (to the extent requested by the SG Parties) in good faith negotiations with the SG Parties to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the proposal to enter into an Alternative Transaction no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written proposal (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified) made by a Third Party to enter into an Alternative Transaction (with all references to 15% in the definition of Alternative Transaction being treated as references to 50% for these purposes) that (A) did not result from a breach of Section 4.4(a), (B) is on terms that the Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, which shall include EP Securities LLC) to be superior from a financial point of view to the Company’s stockholders to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any changes to this Agreement that may be proposed by the SG Parties in response to such proposal to enter into an Alternative Transaction and the identity of the person making such proposal to enter into an Alternative Transaction), taking into account all relevant factors, including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions, the form of consideration offered and the ability of the person making such proposal to obtain financing for such Alternative Transaction, and (C) is reasonably likely to be completed in a timely manner, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, if the Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, which shall include EP Securities LLC) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Board of Directors may effect a Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event, but only at a time that is after the fifth Business Day following the SG Parties’ receipt of written notice from the Company advising the SG Parties of all information with respect to any such Intervening Event and stating that it intends to make a Recommendation Change and providing its rationale therefor, provided that during such five Business Day notice period the Company engages (to the extent requested by the SG Parties) in good faith negotiations with the SG Parties to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for the Board of Directors to effect a Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event. The term “Intervening Event” shall mean a material event or change in circumstance that arises or occurs after the date of this Agreement that, prior to the date of this Agreement, was neither known nor foreseeable by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that in no event shall the receipt, existence or terms of an Alternative Transaction or any matter relating thereto or consequence thereof constitute an Intervening Event.

(c) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in Sections 4.4(a) and 4.4(b), the Company shall promptly, and in any event within 24 hours of receipt thereof, advise the SG Parties orally and in writing of any request for information or of any proposal relating to an Alternative Transaction, the terms and conditions of such request or proposal (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the person making such request or proposal. The Company shall (i) keep the SG Parties informed of the status and details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such request or proposal on a current basis and (ii) provide to the SG Parties as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written materials exchanged between the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any person making such request or proposal, on the other hand, in each case that describes in any material respect any of the terms or conditions of any such request or proposal.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 4.4 shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act pending disclosure of its position thereunder; provided, however, that any such disclosure or statement that constitutes or contains a Recommendation Change shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.4(b).

(e) Unless the Company has validly terminated this agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(f), no Recommendation Change shall relieve the Company from its obligations to submit the approval and adoption of the Interim Amendment to a vote of its shareholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

Section 4.5 Final Amendment Approval; Post-Closing Filings; Public Announcements.

(a) Following the distribution of the Dividend, and subject to receipt by the Company from the SG Parties of a written consent to adopt and approve the Final Amendment (the “Final Amendment Written Consent”), which shall constitute the Final Amendment Approval, the Company shall promptly file the preliminary Information Statement with the SEC and shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Information Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) include any reasonable comments made by the SG Parties and their counsel in the Information Statement, (iii) cause the preliminary Information Statement to be cleared by the SEC as promptly as practicable after its filing with the SEC, (iv) file the definitive Information Statement with the SEC and cause the definitive Information Statement to be mailed (or otherwise electronically provided) to the Company stockholders as soon as permitted under the Exchange Act and (v) adopt the Final Amendment as soon as permitted under the Exchange Act by filing such Final Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

(b) The Company shall file a Form 8-K with the SEC no later than four Business Days following the Closing that complies with Items 2.01(f), 5.06 and 9.01 of Form 8-K. Such Form 8-K shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the SG Parties and their counsel prior to the Closing.

(c) Subject to Section 4.5(a) and Section 4.5(b), each party hereto agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and representatives not to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public statement or any written communications with respect to this Agreement or the Transaction without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that nothing herein will prohibit any party from issuing or causing publication of any such press release or public announcement to the extent that such disclosure (a) is required (i) by applicable Law, (ii) in connection with any Action related to the Transaction or (iii) to comply with the disclosure requirements of the SEC, in which case the party making such determination will use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other parties hereto reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of its issuance or (b) contains only information that has already been included in a prior public statement made in accordance with this Section 4.5 and such party has provided the other parties hereto with advance notice of such press release or public announcement; provided, further, that, subject to the receipt of customary confidentiality undertakings, the SG Parties may issue or provide any communication or statements to any of their respective equityholders (and to any direct or indirect equityholders and limited partners thereof) and/or Affiliates with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.6 Reasonable Best Efforts; Antitrust Filings.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and the SG Parties shall as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement (i) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transaction and all other necessary filings, forms, declarations, notifications, registrations and notices with other Governmental Authorities under any other Competition Laws relating to the Transaction, (ii) use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all other necessary actions, waivers, consents, licenses or permits, as applicable, authorizations, Orders and approvals from Governmental Authorities and the making of all other necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any), (iii) execute, deliver and perform any such additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the Transaction and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement and (iv) use their reasonable best efforts to provide all such information concerning such party, its Subsidiaries and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees and partners as may be reasonably requested in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 4.6(a).

(b) Each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond at the earliest practicable date to any requests for additional information made by the Federal Trade Commission, the United States Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authorities, and act in good faith and reasonably cooperate with the other parties hereto in connection with any investigation of any Governmental Authority. Each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any filing, form, declaration, notification, registration and notice. The parties will consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any information or proposals submitted in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Competition Law.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a party hereto be required to (a) commence or threaten to commence litigation, (b) agree to hold, separate, divest, license or cause a third party to purchase, any of the assets or businesses of such party or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (c) otherwise agree to any restrictions on the businesses of such party or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries in connection with avoiding or eliminating any restrictions to the consummation of the Transaction under any Competition Law.

Section 4.8 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall keep the SG Parties reasonably informed with respect to the defense or settlement of any stockholder Action against it and its directors relating to the Transaction; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide any information in any manner that would result in the loss of protection of legal privilege, attorney-client work product or similar privilege or protection. The Company shall give the SG Parties the opportunity to consult with it regarding the defense or settlement of any such stockholder Action and shall not settle any such Action without the SG Parties’ prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 4.9 Listing of Company Common Stock. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Transaction to be approved for trading on the OTCQB prior to the Closing.

Section 4.10 Turning Point Registration Rights . The SG Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their rights with respect to the Contributed Shares and any rights with respect to the Additional Shares subject to any Disposition Rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 10, 2016, by and among Turning Point and the stockholders named therein, to be transferred to the Company at the Closing.

Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 7.9 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the Transaction, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement, the Transaction and obligations arising hereunder brought by any other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the Transaction in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the Transaction, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with Section 7.2, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement or the Transaction or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 7.10 Effect of Disclosure. The disclosure of any matter in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by the Company or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for the purpose of this Agreement.

Section 7.11 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy by a court of competent jurisdiction, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, insofar as the foregoing can be accomplished without materially affecting the economic benefits anticipated by the parties to this Agreement. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transaction is fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 7.12 Waiver and Amendment; Remedies Cumulative. Subject to applicable Law, (a) any provision of this Agreement or any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any of the parties or compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement may be waived or (b) the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the parties here may be extended at any time prior to Closing. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the party against whom waiver is sought; provided, that any extension or waiver given in compliance with this Section 7.12 or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. Subject to applicable Law, any of the provisions of this Agreement may be amended at any time by the mutual written agreement of the Company (following recommendation of the Special Committee) and the SG Parties. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Section 7.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE SG PARTIES AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF THE SG PARTIES AND THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 7.14 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the SG Parties and the Company would not have any adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by the SG Parties or the Company. It is accordingly agreed that the SG Parties and the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches and/or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or in Delaware state court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity.

ARTICLE III.

PURPOSES

The nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or promoted by the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

ARTICLE IV.

CAPITAL STOCK

The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is 830,000,000 shares, divided into classes as follows:

500,000,000 shares shall be shares of Preferred Stock, with a par value of $.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”);

300,000,000 shares shall be shares of Class A Common Stock, with a par value of $.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”); and

30,000,000 shares shall be shares of Class B Common Stock, with a par value of $.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”).

Immediately upon the effectiveness of the filing of this Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), every ten (10) shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding or held as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Common Stock”), shall, automatically and without further action by any stockholder, be reclassified as, and shall become, one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock (the “Reclassification”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fractional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issued as a result of the Reclassification. If the Reclassification would otherwise result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Corporation shall issue one whole share of Class A Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share. Each stock certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of the Old Common Stock shall, from and after the Effective Time, be deemed to represent the shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares shall have been reclassified upon the Effective Time, subject to the elimination of fractional share interests as described above, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof.

The following is a statement of the designations and the rights, powers and privileges, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation.

PART A. PREFERRED STOCK¹

1. DESIGNATION AND RIGHTS. Subject to the provisions of this Article IV and any limitations prescribed by law, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) is hereby empowered: (a) by resolution or resolutions, to cause the Corporation to issue from time to time, in one or more series, up to 17,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock, and (b) by filing a certificate of designation pursuant to the applicable law of the state of Delaware (“Certificate of Designation”), to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers (including voting powers), preferences, terms, conditions, privileges and other rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.

¹ Note to Draft: Certificate of Elimination for Series A Preferred to be filed prior to the Effective Time.

2. VOTE TO INCREASE OR DECREASE AUTHORIZED SHARES. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or of any series thereof, unless any such vote is required pursuant to the terms of any Certificate of Designation.

PART B. COMMON STOCK

1. DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT. The designation of this class of capital stock shall be “Class A Common Stock,” par value $.01 per share, and “Class B Common Stock,” par value $.01 per share. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in Article IV, Part B, Section 5, the Corporation shall not issue additional shares of Class B Common Stock (or securities (including options, warrants, or other rights) convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class B Common Stock) after the Dividend Date.

2. EQUAL STATUS. Except as expressly set forth in this Restated Certificate or required by applicable law, shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall have the same rights and powers, rank equally (including as to dividends and distributions, and upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation), share ratably and be identical in all respects and as to all matters.

3. VOTING RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided in this Restated Certificate or required by applicable law, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall (a) at all times vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote or for the written consent of the stockholders of the Corporation, (b) be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the By-laws of the Corporation and (c) be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided in this Restated Certificate or required by applicable law. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Restated Certificate or required by applicable law, each holder of Class A Common Stock shall have the right to one (1) vote per share of Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder and each holder of Class B Common Stock shall have the right to ten (10) votes per share of Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder.

4. DIVIDEND RIGHTS. Dividends may be declared by the Board of Directors and paid on the Common Stock from funds legally available therefor as and when determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, subject to the requirements of applicable law and the provisions of this Restated Certificate. Shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any such dividends; provided, however, that in the event a dividend is paid in the form of shares of Common Stock, or securities (including options, warrants, or other rights) convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, then such dividend shall be paid only in shares of Class A Common Stock (or securities (including options, warrants, or other rights) convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock), with holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock receiving, on a per share basis, an identical number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or securities (including options, warrants or other rights) convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for an identical number of shares of Class A Common Stock). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may pay or make a disparate dividend or distribution per share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (whether in the amount of such dividend or distribution payable per share, the form in which such dividend or distribution is payable, the timing of the payment, or otherwise) if such disparate dividend or distribution is approved in advance by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

5. SUBDIVISIONS, COMBINATIONS OR RECLASSIFICATIONS. Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock may not be subdivided, combined or reclassified unless the shares of the other class of Common Stock are concurrently therewith proportionately subdivided, combined or reclassified in a manner that maintains the same proportionate equity ownership between the holders of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification; provided, however, that shares of one such class may be subdivided, combined or reclassified in a different or disproportionate manner if such subdivision, combination or reclassification is approved in advance by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

6. LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP. Subject to the preferential or other rights, if any, of the holders of any Preferred Stock, in the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably all assets or funds of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, irrespective of class, unless disparate or different treatment of the shares of each such class with respect to distributions upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up is approved in advance by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

7. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. In the case of any distribution or payment in respect of the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock upon the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other entity, or in the case of any other transaction having an effect on stockholders substantially similar to that resulting from a consolidation or merger, such distribution or payment shall be made ratably on a per share basis among the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as a single class; provided, however, that shares of one such class may receive different or disproportionate distributions or payments in connection with such merger, consolidation or other transaction if (i) the only difference in the per share distribution to the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is that any securities distributed to the holder of a share Class B Common Stock have ten times the voting power of any securities distributed to the holder of a share of Class A Common Stock, or (ii) such merger, consolidation or other transaction is approved by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

8. CONVERSION OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK.

8A. VOLUNTARY CONVERSION. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder thereof at any time upon written notice to the Corporation. Before any holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to voluntarily convert any shares of such Class B Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor (if any), duly endorsed (or in the case of lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate(s), shall notify the Corporation that the certificate(s) have been lost, stolen, or destroyed), at the principal corporate office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, that the stockholder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name(s) (i) in which the certificate(s) representing the shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class B Common Stock are so converted are to be issued or (ii) in which such shares are to be registered in book entry if such shares are uncertificated. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, (x) issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Class B Common Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled, provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificate(s) evidencing the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such voluntary conversion unless the certificate(s) evidencing such shares of Class B Common Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificate(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate(s), or (y) if such shares are uncertificated, register such shares in book-entry form. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted following or contemporaneously with the written notice of such holder’s election to convert required by this Section 8A, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of such time. Each share of Class B Common Stock that is converted pursuant to this Part B, Section 8A of Article IV shall be retired by the Corporation and shall not be available for reissuance.

8B. AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. From and after the Effective Time, (i) each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without further action by the holder thereof, convert into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock, upon the occurrence of a Transfer (as defined in Part C of this Article IV), other than a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Part C of this Article IV), of such share of Class B Common Stock (any such Transfer, a “Transfer Conversion Event”) and (ii) all (and not less than all) shares of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without further action by any holder thereof, convert into an identical number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock at such date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of two-thirds of the then-outstanding shares Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class (the occurrence of a Transfer Conversion Event or an event described in clause (ii) of this Part B, Section 8B, a “Conversion Event”). Each outstanding stock certificate that, immediately prior to a Conversion Event, represented one or more shares of Class B Common Stock subject to such Conversion Event shall, upon such Conversion Event, be deemed to represent an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof. The Corporation shall, upon the request of any holder whose shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as a result of a Conversion Event, and upon surrender by such holder to the Corporation of the outstanding certificate(s) formerly representing such holder’s shares of Class B Common Stock or, in the case of lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate(s) (where the Corporation has been notified that that such certificate(s) have been lost, stolen, or destroyed), after execution of an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate(s), issue and deliver to such holder certificate(s) representing the shares of Class A Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Class B Common Stock were converted as a result of such Conversion Event (if such shares are certificated) or, if such shares are uncertificated, register such shares in book entry form. If the Corporation has reason to believe that a Transfer Conversion Event with respect to any shares of Class B Common Stock has occurred but has not theretofore been reflected on the books of the Corporation, the Corporation may request that the applicable holder furnish affidavits or other evidence to the Corporation as the Corporation deems necessary to determine whether a Transfer Conversion Event has occurred, and if such holder does not within ten (10) days after the date of such request furnish sufficient evidence to the corporation (in the manner provided in the request) to enable the Corporation to determine that no such Transfer Conversion Event has occurred, any such shares of Class B Common Stock, to the extent not previously converted, shall be automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and the same shall thereupon be registered on the books and records of the Corporation. If the Secretary of the Corporation or the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, determines that any shares of Class B Common Stock have been subject to an inadvertent Transfer that would constitute a Transfer Conversion Event, or any other event shall have occurred, or any state of facts arisen or come into existence, that would inadvertently cause a Transfer Conversion Event, and the holder thereof shall have cured or shall promptly cure such inadvertent Transfer or the event or state of facts that would inadvertently cause such Transfer Conversion Event, then the Secretary of the Corporation or the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, may determine that such share or shares of Class B Common Stock shall not have been automatically converted into Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 8B of this Article IV. Subject to the preceding sentence, each share of Class B Common Stock that is converted pursuant to this Part B, Section 8B of Article IV shall thereupon be retired by the Corporation and shall not be available for reissuance.

8C. The Corporation may, from time to time, establish such policies and procedures, not in violation of applicable law or the other provisions of this Restated Certificate, relating to the conversion of the Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, as it may deem necessary or advisable in connection therewith. In connection with any action of the stockholders taken at a meeting or by written consent, the Corporation shall presume that the stock ledger of the Corporation sets forth the stockholders entitled to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders or in connection with any such written consent and the class or classes or series of shares held by each such stockholder and the number of shares of each class or classes or series held by such stockholder, provided that any such presumption shall be rebuttable by a Holder of shares of Common Stock that furnishes affidavits or other evidence sufficient to enable the Corporation to make a contrary determination in accordance with this Restated Certificate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any determination by the Secretary of the Corporation relating to the conversion of any share of Class B Common Stock into a share of Class A Common Stock shall be conclusive and binding.

9. RESERVATION OF STOCK. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

10. PROTECTIVE PROVISION. The Corporation shall not, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, amend, alter, repeal or waive Parts B or C of this Article IV (or adopt any provision inconsistent therewith), without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, in addition to any other vote required by applicable law, this Restated Certificate or the By-laws of the Corporation.

11. ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE PROVISION. For a period of eighteen (18) months from the Effective Time, any merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction as a result of which Standard General L.P. and its affiliates, individually or in the aggregate, would own ninety-five percent (95%) or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall require the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Class A Common Stock held by stockholders of the Corporation other than Standard General L.P. and its affiliates. For a period of eighteen (18) months from the Effective Time, the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Class A Common Stock held by the stockholders of the Corporation other than Standard General L.P. and its affiliates shall be required to amend, alter or eliminate this Section 11 of Article IV, Part B.

If on any date (including any record date) ownership by any Restricted Investor (including ownership resulting from the exercise, conversion or exchange of securities of the Corporation), in the aggregate, of the outstanding capital stock of any class of the Corporation exceeds the Permitted Percentage, the Corporation shall determine in the manner prescribed below, which shares owned by such Restricted Investor constitute such excess (the “Excess Shares”), and the Excess Shares shall (so long as such excess exists) not have any voting rights, and the Corporation may (so long as such excess exists) temporarily withhold the payment of dividends and the sharing in any other distribution (upon liquidation or otherwise) in respect of the Excess Shares; provided, however, that any such dividend or distribution shall be set aside for payment to the owners of the Excess Shares when such shares are no longer owned by a Restricted Investor. The determination of those shares that constitute Excess Shares shall be made solely by reference to the date or dates on which such shares were acquired by a Restricted Investor (which, in the event such shares were acquired upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of securities, shall be deemed to be the date of such exercise, conversion or exchange), starting with the most recent acquisition of shares of capital stock by a Restricted Investor and including, in reverse chronological order of acquisition, all other acquisitions of shares of capital stock by the Restricted Investor from and after the acquisition of those shares of capital stock by the Restricted Investor that first caused the Permitted Percentage to be exceeded, the determination by the Corporation as to those shares that constitute Excess Shares shall, be determined by reference to bona fide records maintained by the Corporation’s transfer agent and shall be conclusive and binding on the Restricted Investor in all respects.

4. REDEMPTION OF STOCK. Excess Shares shall be subject to redemption by the Corporation (by action of the Board of Directors, in its discretion) to the extent necessary to reduce the aggregate number of shares of such capital stock owned by Restricted Investors to the Permitted Percentage. The terms and conditions of such redemption shall be as follows:

4A. the per share redemption price to be paid for the Excess Shares (the “Redemption Price”) shall be the sum of (i) the Article XI Fair Market Value of such shares of capital stock plus (ii) an amount equal to the amount of any dividend or distribution declared in respect of such shares prior to the date on which such shares are called for redemption and which amount has been withheld by the Corporation pursuant to paragraph 3 of this Article XI;

4B. the Redemption Price shall be paid either in cash (by bank or cashier’s check) or by the issuance of Redemption Securities, as determined by the Board of Directors, in its discretion;

4C. the Excess Shares to be redeemed shall be selected in the same manner as provided in paragraph 3 of this Article XI and shall not exceed the number necessary to reduce the percentage of shares of capital stock owned by the Restricted Investor, in the aggregate, to the Permitted Percentage; provided that the Corporation may adjust upward to the nearest whole share the number of shares to be redeemed so as not to be required to redeem or issue fractional shares;

4D. written notice of the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”) together with a letter of transmittal to accompany certificates evidencing shares of stock which are surrendered for redemption (if any) shall be given either by hand delivery or by overnight courier service first class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of the selected shares to be redeemed, at such holder's last known address as the same appears on the stock register of the Corporation (unless such notice is waived in writing by any such holders) (the “Redemption Notice”);

4E. the Redemption Date (for purposes of determining right, title and interest in and to shares of capital stock being selected for redemption) shall be the later of (i) the date specified as the redemption date in the Redemption Notice given to holders (which date shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given) or (ii) the date on which the funds or Redemption Securities necessary to effect the redemption have been irrevocably deposited in trust for the benefit of such holders;

4F. each Redemption Notice shall specify (i) the Redemption Date (as determined pursuant to clause 4E of this paragraph 4 of this Article XI), (ii) the number of shares of capital stock to be redeemed from such holder (and the certificate number(s) evidencing such shares, if such shares are certificated), (iii) the Redemption Price and the manner of payment thereof, (iv) the place where certificates for such shares (if any) are to be surrendered for cancellation against the simultaneous payment of the Redemption Price, (v) any instructions as to the endorsement or assignment for transfer of such certificates (if any) and the completion of the accompanying letter of transmittal; and (vi) the fact that all right, title and interest in respect of the shares so selected for redemption (including, without limitation, voting and dividend rights) shall cease and terminate on the Redemption Date, except for the right to receive the Redemption Price;

4G. from and after the Redemption Date, all right, title and interest in respect of the shares selected for redemption (including, without limitation, voting and dividend rights) shall cease and terminate, such shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding (and may either be retired or held by the Corporation as treasury stock) and the owners of such shares shall thereafter be entitled only to receive the Redemption Price; and

4H. upon surrender of the certificates for any shares so redeemed in accordance with the requirements of the Redemption Notice (if any) and accompanying letter of transmittal (and otherwise in proper form for transfer as specified in the Redemption Notice), the owner of such shares shall be entitled to payment of the Redemption Price. In case fewer than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate (or certificates) shall be issued representing the shares not redeemed without cost to the holder thereof.

5. CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. To the extent necessary to enable the Corporation to determine the percentage of the outstanding capital stock of any class owned by Restricted Investors, the Corporation may require that record or beneficial owners of shares of stock confirm whether or not they are Restricted Investors (by submitting such documentary and other evidence thereof as the Corporation may reasonably require or request) and may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, temporarily withhold and deposit into escrow dividends payable to, any such record holder and owner until adequate confirmation is received. The Board of Directors is authorized to take all such other ministerial acts and to make such interpretations as it may deem necessary or advisable to effectuate the policy and provisions of this Article XI.

6. SEVERABILITY. Each provision of this Article XI is intended to be severable from every other provision. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Article XI is held by a court or similar body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Article XI shall not be affected, and this Article XI shall be construed as if the provisions held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable had never been contained therein.

(ii) All references to agencies, self-regulatory organizations or governmental entities in this Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the comparable successor thereto.

(iv) All references to any amount of securities (including Registrable Securities) shall be deemed to be a reference to such amount measured on an as-converted or as-exercised basis.

(v) If any of the Standard General Parties is dissolved or effects any distribution of 25% or more of the Registrable Securities then held by such partnership, Standard General L.P. shall have the sole right to make all decisions with respect to any Registrable Securities that were distributed by such Standard General Party as if it were the Holder of such Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, the right to make a request for any incidental or piggy-back registrations under Section 2 or any Demand Registration or right to initiate any Form S-1 Shelf Registration Statement or Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement and any offering or sale with respect to any Registrable Securities included in any Shelf Registration Statement under Section 3 and the right to consent or approve any amendment to this Agreement, the amount of Registrable Securities deemed to be held by Standard General L.P. shall be the amount of Registrable Securities distributed by the Standard General Parties less any amount of Registrable Securities transferred or sold by the distributees or their Permitted Transferees.

2. Incidental Registrations.

(a) Right to Include Registrable Securities. If the Company determines to register its Equity Securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a Registration Statement filed by the Company on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor or other forms promulgated for similar purposes or filed solely in connection with an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan), whether or not for sale for its own account, in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, it will, at least 20 days before the anticipated filing date, give written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so and of such Holders’ rights under this Section 2. Upon the written request of any such Holder made within 15 days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered; provided that (i) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the expenses in connection therewith) without prejudice to the rights of the Holders to request that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 3 and (ii) if such registration involves an Underwritten Offering, all Holders of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in the Company’s registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Company on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company, with such differences, including any with respect to indemnification and liability insurance, as may be customary in combined primary and secondary offerings. The Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for a registration requested pursuant to this Section 2(a) beyond the earlier to occur of (i) 180 days after the effective date thereof and (ii) consummation of the distribution by the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. Any Holder of Registrable Securities who has elected to sell Registrable Securities in an offering pursuant to this Section 2 shall be permitted to withdraw from such registration by written notice to the Company if (x) the price to the public at which the Registrable Securities are proposed to be sold will be less than 85% of the average Closing Price of the class of stock being sold in the offering during the 10 trading days preceding the date on which the Demand Notice of such offering was given pursuant to this Section 2(a) or (y) such withdrawal is as a result of factors or circumstances arising after the date on which a request for a Demand Registration was made and the initiating Holders reasonably determine that participation in such registration would have a material adverse effect on the initiating Holders.

(b) Priority in Incidental Registrations. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit Holders of Registrable Securities who have requested to include Registrable Securities in such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities so requested to be included on the same terms and conditions as any other shares of capital stock, if any, of the Company included in the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter(s) of such Underwritten Offering have informed the Company in writing that in its reasonable view the total number or dollar amount of securities that such Holders and the Company intend to include in such offering is such as to likely have a material adverse effect on the timing, price or distribution of such offering, then there shall be included in such Underwritten Offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities that in the reasonable view of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as follows, unless the underwriters require a different allocation: first, all securities of the Company requested to be included by the Company in such registration; second, all securities of the Company requested to be included by the Standard General Parties or their Affiliates among such Holders as determined by the Standard General Parties in their sole discretion; third, all securities of the Company requested to be included by the Holders of Registrable Securities (other than the Standard General Parties and their Affiliates) requesting such registration pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by such Holders; and fourth, any other securities of the Company requested to be included in such offering by other security holder of the Company, pro rata among such security holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by such security holders.

3. Registration on Request.

(a) Request by the Demand Party. Subject to Section 3(d), each of the Standard General Parties and their Affiliates that are Holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to require the Company to register, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the number of Registrable Securities of such Holder and its Affiliates requested to be so registered pursuant to this Agreement, in each case by delivering written notice to the Company (any such written notice, a “Demand Notice” and any such registration, a “Demand Registration”). Subject to Section 3(d), following receipt of a Demand Notice for a Demand Registration in accordance with this Section 3(a), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a Registration Statement as promptly as practicable, and to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof.

No Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph if (i) the Registration Statement relating thereto (x) does not become effective, (y) is not maintained effective for the period required pursuant to this Section 3, or (z) the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement is subject to a stop order, injunction, or similar order or requirement of the SEC during such period, (ii) more than 80% of the Registrable Securities requested by the demanding Holder to be included in such registration are not so included pursuant to Section 3(b) or (iii) the conditions to closing specified in any underwriting agreement, purchase agreement or similar agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such request are not satisfied (other than as a result of a material default or breach thereunder by such demanding Holder or its Affiliates) or otherwise waived by such demanding Holder.

Within 5 days after receipt by the Company of a Demand Notice in accordance with this Section 3(a), the Company shall give written notice (the “Demand Follow-Up Notice”) of such Demand Notice to all other Holders of Registrable Securities and shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) and Section 3(h) hereof, include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company received written requests for inclusion therein within 5 days after such Demand Follow-Up Notice is given by the Company to such Holders. The failure of any Holder receiving a Demand Follow-Up Notice to respond within such 5-day period referred to in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Holder’s rights under this Section 3(a) with respect to such Demand Registration. Any Holder receiving a Demand Follow-Up Notice may waive its rights under this Section 3(a) with respect to such Demand Follow-Up Notice prior to the expiration of such 5-day period by giving written notice to the Company, with a copy to the demanding Holders. If a Holder receiving a Demand Follow-Up Notice sends the Company a written request for inclusion of part or all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Demand Registration, such Holder shall not be entitled to withdraw or revoke such request without the prior written consent of the Company in the Company’s sole discretion unless, as a result of facts or circumstances arising after the date on which such request was made relating to the Company or to market conditions, such Holder reasonably determines that participation in such Demand Registration would have a material adverse effect on such Holder.

All requests made pursuant to this Section 3 will specify the number of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof.

The Company shall be required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to any Demand Registration for a period of at least 180 days after the effective date thereof or such shorter period during which all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have actually been sold; provided, however, that such period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder of Registrable Securities refrains from selling any securities included in such Registration Statement at the request of the Company or an underwriter of the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Priority on Demand Registration. If any of the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Demand Registration are to be sold in an Underwritten Offering, and the managing underwriter(s) advise the Holders of such securities that in its reasonable view the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering (including, without limitation, securities proposed to be included by other Holders of securities entitled to include securities in such Registration Statement pursuant to incidental or piggyback registration rights) is such as to adversely affect the success of such offering, then there shall be included in such Underwritten Offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities that in the reasonable view of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as follows, unless the underwriters require a different allocation:

(i) first, to the Standard General Parties and their Affiliates requesting such registration (whether pursuant to a Demand Notice or pursuant to incidental or piggyback registration rights) among such Holders as determined by the Standard General Parties in their sole discretion, until with respect to each such Holder, all Registrable Securities requested for registration by such Holders have been included in such registration;

(ii) second, among the Holders of Registrable Securities (other than the Standard General Parties and their Affiliates) requesting such registration pursuant to incidental or piggyback registration rights pro rata on the basis of the percentage of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder relative to the number of Registrable Securities owned by all such Holders until, with respect to each such Holder, all Registrable Securities requested for registration by such Holders have been included in such registration; and

(iii) third, the securities for which inclusion in such Demand Registration was requested by the Company.

(c) Cancellation of a Demand Registration. Each Holder that submitted a Demand Notice pursuant to a particular offering and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities that are to be registered in a particular offering pursuant to this Section 3 shall have the right, prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, to notify the Company that it or they, as the case may be, have determined that the Registration Statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall abandon or withdraw such Registration Statement. Any Holder of Registrable Securities who has elected to sell Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 3 (including the Holder who delivered the Demand Notice of such registration) shall be permitted to withdraw from such registration by written notice to the Company at least two Business Days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, at least two Business Days prior to the earlier of the anticipated filing of the “red xxxxxxx” prospectus, if applicable, and the anticipated pricing date.

(d) Limitations on Demand Registrations. The Standard General Parties and their Affiliates shall, collectively, be entitled to initiate no more than five (5) Demand Registrations (other than Shelf Registrations and shelf take-downs to effect a Shelf Underwritten Offering). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration under this Section 3 (other than Shelf Registrations and shelf take-downs to effect a Shelf Underwritten Offering) unless the aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering is reasonably expected to be at least $25 million, unless such Demand Registration includes all of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities of the demanding Holder.

(e) Postponements in Requested Registrations. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement, including a Shelf Registration Statement, with respect to a Demand Registration would require the Company to make a public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure in the good faith judgment of the Board (after consultation with external legal counsel) (i) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement so that such Registration Statement would not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing, effectiveness or continued use of such Registration Statement and (iii) would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business or on the Company’s ability to effect a bona fide material proposed acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction (collectively, “Suspension Events”), and the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or any other senior executive officer of the Company stating such, then the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders participating in such registration, delay the filing or initial effectiveness (but not the preparation) of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement; provided that the Company shall be permitted to do so once in any 6-month period for a period not to exceed the earlier of (i) the termination of any such Suspension Event and (ii) 45 days following notice of any such Suspension Event and provided further, that the Company may not postpone or suspend for periods exceeding, in the aggregate, 120 days during any 12-month period. In the event that the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, such Holders agree to suspend, promptly upon receipt of the notice referred to above, the use of any Prospectus relating to such registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not deliver a suspension notice with respect to a suspension period unless all of the Company’s employees, officers and directors who are subject to Company’s [Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Compliance Policy]¹, and who are prohibited by the terms thereof from effecting any public sales of securities of the Company beneficially owned by them, are so prohibited for the duration of such suspension period. If the Company so postpones the filing of a Prospectus or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the demanding Holder shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such registration request shall not count for the purposes of the limitations set forth in Section 3(d). The Company shall promptly give the Holders requesting registration thereof pursuant to this Section 3 written notice of any postponement made in accordance with the preceding sentence.

¹ Note to Draft: Reference to be conformed prior to signing of Registration Rights Agreement.

(f) Shelf Registrations.

(i) If requested by the Standard General Parties and their Affiliates that are Holders of Registrable Securities and available to the Company, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration of (a “Shelf Registration”), and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis of, the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or otherwise on Form S-1 (a “Form S-1 Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall notify the Holders of Registrable Securities named in the Form S-1 Shelf Registration Statement promptly once the Company confirms effectiveness thereof with the SEC. In the event that the Company qualifies for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms or any similar short-form registration (a “Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement” and, together with a Form S-1 Shelf Registration Statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert any Form S-1 Shelf Registration Statement to a Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement. The Standard General Parties and their Affiliates that are Holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Shelf Registrations, if available to the Company, with respect to the Registrable Securities held by the Holders and their Affiliates in addition to the other registration rights provided in Section 2 and this Section 3. No Shelf Registration shall count as a Demand Registration for purposes of calculating how many Demand Registrations the Standard General Parties and their Affiliates have initiated pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.

(ii) Upon filing any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement effective with the SEC at all times and to re-file such Shelf Registration Statement upon its expiration, and to cooperate in any shelf take-down, whether or not underwritten, by amending or supplementing any Prospectus related to such Shelf Registration Statement as may be reasonably requested by the Standard General Parties and their Affiliates that are Holders of Registrable Securities or as otherwise required, until such time as all Registrable Securities that could be sold in such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold or are no longer outstanding. To the extent that the Company becomes ineligible to use a previously filed and effective Form S-3 Registration Statement, the Company shall file a Form S-1 Shelf Registration Statement not later than 30 days after the date of such ineligibility and use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing written notice, to require any Holder of Registrable Securities to suspend the use of any Prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Form S-1 Shelf Registration Statement during the period after the end of the Company’s fiscal quarter and prior to the opening of business on the second Business Day following the first public announcement of the results for such fiscal quarter during which the Company is in possession of material non-public information regarding the results of operations for such quarter (such period, a “Blackout Period”). After the expiration of any Blackout Period and without any further request from the Holders, the Company to the extent necessary shall as promptly as reasonably practicable and, if a Holder has delivered a Take-Down Notice during any Blackout Period, the next succeeding Business Day following such expiration, prepare and file a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Form S-1 Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(iii) To the extent the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405) (a “WKSI”) at the time any Demand Notice for a Shelf Registration is submitted to the Company and such Demand Notice requests that the Company file a Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall file an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405) on Form S-3 (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”) in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, which covers the number or class of Registrable Securities which are requested to be registered. If registering a number of Registrable Securities, the Company shall pay the registration fee for all Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement at the time of filing of the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement and shall not elect to pay any portion of the registration fee on a deferred basis. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to remain a WKSI (and not to become an ineligible Company (as defined in Rule 405)) during the period during which any Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is effective. If at any time following the filing of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to post-effectively amend the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to a Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement or file a new Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement or, if such form is not available, a Form S-1 Shelf Registration Statement, have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC and keep such Shelf Registration Statement effective during the period during which such Shelf Registration Statement is required to be kept effective in accordance with Section 3(f)(ii). To the extent that the Company is eligible to file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement and the Standard General Parties notify the Company that it wishes to engage in a block sale off of such an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement and the Company does not have an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement related to the Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement within three days of such notification by the Standard General Parties.

(g) Shelf Take-Downs. At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities is effective, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3(g), if any Standard General Party or its Affiliates delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to effect an Underwritten Offering of all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the shelf registration statement (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”), then the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Underwritten Offering (taking into account the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other Holders pursuant to Section 3(g)(i)). The Standard General Parties and their Affiliates that are Holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of shelf take-downs to effect a Shelf Underwritten Offering, if available to the Company, with respect to the Registrable Securities held by such Holders and their Affiliates in addition to the other registration rights provided in Section 2 and this Section 3. In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering:

(i) the Company shall also deliver the Take-Down Notice to all other Holders with securities included on such shelf registration statement and permit each such Holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration Statement in the Shelf Underwritten Offering if such Holder notifies the proposing Holder and the Company within two days after distribution or dissemination (including via e-mail, if available) of the Take-Down Notice to such Holder;

(ii) in the event that the underwriter advises such requesting Holder and the Company in its reasonable view that the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering is such as to adversely affect the success of such offering (including, without limitation, adversely affect the per share offering price), then the underwriter may limit the number of shares which would otherwise be included in such take-down offering in the same manner as described in Section 3(b) with respect to a limitation of shares to be included in a registration; and

(iii) if at any time or from time to time, the Standard General Parties desire to sell Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Underwritten Offering, the underwriters, including the managing underwriter, shall be selected by the Standard General Parties, subject to the approval of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld.

(h) No Notice in Block Sales. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the requesting Holder wishes to engage in a block sale (including a block sale off of a Shelf Registration Statement or an effective Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, or in connection with the registration of the Standard General Parties’ Registrable Securities under an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement for purposes of effectuating a block sale), then notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions hereunder (including without limitation Section 2 of this Agreement), no Holder shall be entitled to receive any notice of or have its Registrable Securities included in such block sale.

(i) Registration Statement Form. If any registration requested pursuant to this Section 3 which is proposed by the Company to be effected by the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor or similar short-form registration statement) shall be in connection with an underwritten public offering, and if the managing underwriter(s) shall advise the Company that, in its good faith opinion, the use of another form of Registration Statement is of material importance to the success of such proposed offering or is otherwise required by applicable law, then such registration shall be effected on such other form.

(j) Selection of Underwriters. If the Standard General Parties or their Affiliates intend that the Registrable Securities requested to be covered by a Demand Registration requested by such Holder shall be distributed by means of an Underwritten Offering, such demanding Holder shall so advise the Company as a part of the Demand Notice, and the Company shall include such information in the Notice sent by the Company to the other Holders with respect to such Demand Registration. In such event, the lead underwriter to administer the offering shall be chosen by the demanding Holder, subject to the approval of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld. If the offering is underwritten, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 3 will be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise agreed by the demanding Holder) and each such Holder will (together with the Company and the other Holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the managing underwriter(s)), provided that (A) no Holder shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder has requested the Company to include in any registration and (B) if any Holder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter(s) and, in connection with an underwritten registration pursuant to this Section 3, the demanding Holder, provided further that no such Person (other than the Company) shall be required to make any representations or warranties other than those related to title and ownership of, and power and authority to transfer, shares and as to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other document in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company or the managing underwriter(s) by such Person pertaining exclusively to such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder shall be required to agree to any indemnification obligations on the part of such Holder that are greater than its obligations pursuant to Section 6. If any Shelf Registration Statement is in the form of a Hedging Transaction, the demanding Holder shall select and obtain an investment banking firm of national or regional reputation to act as the Hedging Counterparty of the Hedging Transaction.

4. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 2 and Section 3, the Company shall effect such registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in the sale of such Registrable Securities and shall, as quickly as practicable:

(a) prepare and file, in each case as promptly as practicable, with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements on such form as shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof or by the Company in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, make all required filings with FINRA, and, if such Registration Statement is not automatically effective upon filing, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable and to remain effective as provided herein; provided, however, that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including free writing prospectuses under Rule 433 (each a “Free Writing Prospectus”)) and, to the extent reasonably practicable, documents that would be incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to a Demand Notice (other than a Shelf Registration Statement), the Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, their counsel and the managing underwriter(s), if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits thereto), which documents will be subject to the reasonable review and comment of such counsel, and such other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment letter from the SEC, and, if requested by such counsel, provide such counsel reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and each Prospectus included therein and such other opportunities to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, including reasonable access to the Company’s books and records, officers, accountants and other advisors. The Company will include comments to any Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto from Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or their counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any, as reasonably requested on a timely basis. The Company shall not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto (including such documents that, upon filing, would be incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein and including Free Writing Prospectuses) with respect to a Demand Registration to which the demanding Holder or the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (or their counsel) or the managing underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object, in writing, on a timely basis, unless, in the opinion of the Company, such filing is necessary to comply with applicable law;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith and such Free Writing Prospectuses and Exchange Act reports as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective during the period provided herein and comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act in each case, until such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement;

(c) notify each selling Holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel and the managing underwriter(s), if any, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment or any Free Writing Prospectus has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if at any time the Company has reason to believe that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 4(n) below cease to be true and correct, (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of such Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (vi) of the existence of any fact or happening of any event that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, as then in effect, untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (which notice shall notify the selling Holders only of the occurrence of such an event and shall provide no additional information regarding such event to the extent such information would constitute material non-public information);

(d) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest date reasonably practical;

(e) if requested by the managing underwriter(s), if any, a Holder making a Demand Notice with respect to such offering or the Holders of a majority of the then-issued and outstanding Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an Underwritten Offering, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter(s), if any, or such Holder or Holders, as the case may be, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution of such securities set forth in the Registration Statement and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 4(e) that are not, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, in compliance with applicable law;

(f) deliver to each seller of Registrable Securities, its counsel, and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of Prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto (including any Free Writing Prospectus) as such Persons may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof; and the Company, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 4, hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each seller of Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any such amendment or supplement thereto;

(g) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the sellers of Registrable Securities, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any seller or underwriter reasonably requests in writing and to use its reasonable best efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and to take any other action that may be necessary or advisable to enable such sellers of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdiction in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4(g), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so subject or (iii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject (other than service of process in connection with such registration or qualification or any sale of Registrable Securities in connection therewith);

(h) cooperate with the sellers of Registrable Securities and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any legends unless required under applicable law) representing Registrable Securities to be sold, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter(s), if any, or sellers may request at least two Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities in a firm commitment public offering, but in any other such sale, within 5 Business Days prior to having to issue the securities;

(i) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities within the United States as may be necessary in light of the business or operations of the Company to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the managing underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof, except as may be required solely as a consequence of the nature of such seller’s business, in which case the Company will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing of such Registration Statement and the granting of such approvals, as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof;

(j) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4(c)(vi) above, promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(k) prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities, provide a CUSIP number for each type of the Registrable Securities;

(l) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities from and after the effective date of such Registration Statement. In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly after the effective date of the Registration Statement, cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be delivered to and maintained with such transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without any such legend upon sale by a seller or the underwriter or managing underwriter of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities, if any, of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement;

(m) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all shares of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be listed on a national securities exchange if shares of the particular class of Registrable Securities are at that time listed on such exchange, prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement;

(n) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in Underwritten Offerings) and take all such other customary actions reasonably requested by a Holder submitting a Demand Notice with respect to such offering or the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith (including those reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s), if any) to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in such connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration is an underwritten registration, (i) make such representations and warranties to the Holders of such Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in Underwritten Offerings, and, if true, confirm the same if and when reasonably requested, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to the sellers of such Registrable Securities opinions of outside counsel (and/or internal counsel if acceptable to the managing underwriter(s)) to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter(s), if any, and counsels to the sellers of the Registrable Securities), addressed to each seller of Registrable Securities and each of the underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in Underwritten Offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such counsel and underwriters, (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any Subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement) who have certified the financial statements included in such Registration Statement, addressed to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities (unless such accountants shall be prohibited from so addressing such letters by applicable standards of the accounting profession) and each of the underwriters, if any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters as the managing underwriter reasonably requests, (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures that are customary for underwriting agreements in connection with Underwritten Offerings except as otherwise agreed by the parties thereto and (v) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by a Holder making a Demand Notice with respect to such offering, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to such Registration Statement, its or their counsel, as the case may be, or the managing underwriter(s), if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4(n)(i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company. The above shall be done at each closing under such underwriting or similar agreement, or as and to the extent required thereunder;

(o) upon reasonable notice, make available for inspection by a representative of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities, the underwriters participating in any such disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any attorneys or accountants retained by such selling Holders or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”) at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to supply all information in each case reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that any information and Records that are not generally publicly available at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by the Inspectors unless (i) disclosure of such information or Records is required by court or administrative order, (ii) disclosure of such information or Records, in the opinion of counsel to such Inspector, is required by law or applicable legal process, (iii) such information or Records become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by such Inspector, (iv) such information or Records becomes available to such Inspector on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or (v) such information or Records is independently developed by such Inspector. In the case of a proposed disclosure pursuant to (i) or (ii) above, such Inspector shall be required to give the Company written notice of the proposed disclosure prior to such disclosure and, if requested by the Company, assist the Company in seeking to prevent or limit the proposed disclosure;

(p) cause its officers to use their reasonable best efforts to support the marketing of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement (including, without limitation, participation in such number of “road shows” as the underwriter(s) reasonably request);

(q) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the FINRA;

(r) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable (but no more than fifteen months), an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; and

(s) take no direct or indirect action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act; provided, that, to the extent that any prohibition is applicable to the Company, the Company will take all reasonable action to make such prohibition inapplicable.

The Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company in writing such information required in connection with such registration regarding such seller and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any Holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.

The Company agrees not to file or make any amendment to any Registration Statement with respect to any Registrable Securities, or any amendment of or supplement to the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus used in connection therewith, that refers to any Holder covered thereby by name, or otherwise identifies such Holder as the holder of any securities of the Company, without the consent of such Holder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless and to the extent such disclosure is required by law, rule or regulation, in which case the Company shall provide prompt written notice to such Holders prior to the filing of such amendment to any Registration Statement or amendment of or supplement to the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus.

If the Company files any Shelf Registration Statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Holders, the Company agrees that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in such registration statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act (referring to the unnamed selling security holders in a generic manner by identifying the initial offering of the securities to the Holders) in order to ensure that the Holders may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement at a later time through the filing of a Prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment.

Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees if such Holder has Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(c)(ii), 4(c)(iii), 4(c)(iv), 4(c)(v) and 4(c)(vi) hereof, such Holder will promptly discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4(j) hereof, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus; provided, however, that the time periods under Section 3 with respect to the length of time that the effectiveness of a Registration Statement must be maintained shall automatically be extended by the amount of time the Holder is required to discontinue disposition of such securities.

5. Hedging Transactions.

(a) In any Shelf Registration, the demanding Holder may elect to engage in a Hedging Transaction. The Company agrees that, in connection with any proposed Hedging Transaction, if, in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the demanding Holder, it is necessary or desirable to register under the Securities Act such Hedging Transaction or sales or transfers (whether short or long) of Registrable Securities in connection therewith, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions (which may include, among other things, the filing of a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement to include additional or changed information that is material or is otherwise required to be disclosed, including, without limitation, a description of such Hedging Transaction, the name of the Hedging Counterparty, identification of the Hedging Counterparty or its Affiliates as underwriters or potential underwriters, if applicable, or any change to the plan of distribution) as may reasonably be required to register such Hedging Transaction or sales or transfers of Registrable Securities in connection therewith under the Securities Act in a manner consistent with the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to the registration of Registrable Securities. Any information regarding the Hedging Transaction included in a Registration Statement, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall, for purposes of Section 6 hereof, be deemed to be information provided by the Standard General Party that is party to such Hedging Transaction and is selling Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement for purposes of Section 6 hereof.

(b) If in connection with a Hedging Transaction, a Hedging Counterparty or any Affiliate thereof is (or may be considered) an underwriter or selling stockholder, then it shall be required to provide customary indemnities to the Company regarding the plan of distribution and like matters. The Prospectus shall permit, in connection with a Hedging Transaction, a Hedging Counterparty or any Affiliate thereof to sell shares of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including short sales.

6. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are covered by a Registration Statement or Prospectus, the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) each such Holder and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each such controlling person, each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such underwriter (each such person being referred to herein as a “Covered Person”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding), expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, offering circular, or other document (including any related Registration Statement, notification, or the like or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein) incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, (ii) with respect any Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document incorporated by reference therein), the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) with respect to any Prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related notification, or the like or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or (iv) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to any action or inaction in connection with the related offering of Registrable Securities, and will reimburse each such Covered Person for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Loss, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission by such Covered Person relating to such Covered Person or its Affiliates (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Covered Person with respect to such Covered Person expressly for use therein.

(b) Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities. As a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement filed in accordance with Section 4 hereof, the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the prospective seller of such Registrable Securities to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, severally and not jointly with any other Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, offering circular, or other document (including any related Registration Statement, notification, or the like or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein) incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, (ii) with respect any Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document incorporated by reference therein), the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) with respect to any Prospectus, offering circulate or other document (including any related notification, or the like or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such directors and controlling persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, offering circular, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder with respect to such Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular or other document; provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that the liability of such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be limited to the net proceeds (after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities to which the Prospectus, Registration Statement, Free Writing Prospectus or such amendment or supplement thereto relates.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or proceeding, to, unless in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume, or in the event of a conflict of interest cannot assume, the defense of such claim or proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and such parties have been advised by such counsel that either (x) representation of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under the applicable standards of professional conduct or (y) there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party. In any such cases, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel and to assume the defense of such claim or proceeding at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; provided, further, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all of the Indemnified Parties, or for fees and expenses that are not reasonable. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (without the consent of such Indemnified Party) that (x) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder or (y) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any obligations on the Indemnified Party or adversely affects such Indemnified Party other than as a result of financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested the Indemnifying Party to reimburse the Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 6, the Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 Business Days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the aforesaid request and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Party in accordance with such request or contested the reasonableness of such fees and expenses prior to the date of such settlement.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (other than in accordance with its terms), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, 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, has been made (or omitted) by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) hereof, any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding; provided, that the total amount to be contributed by any Holder shall be limited to the net proceeds (after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such Holder in the offering.

The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), an Indemnifying Party that is a selling Holder of Registrable Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that such Indemnifying Party has otherwise been, or would otherwise be, required to pay pursuant to Section 6(b) by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are more favorable to the Holders than the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(e) Deemed Underwriter. To the extent that any of the Holders is, or would be expected to be, deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities pursuant to any SEC comments or policies or any court of law or otherwise, the Company agrees that (i) the indemnification and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6 shall be applicable to the benefit of such Holder in its role as deemed underwriter in addition to its capacity as a Holder (so long as the amount for which any other Holder is or becomes responsible does not exceed the amount for which such Holder would be responsible if the Holder were not deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities) and (ii) such Holder and its representatives shall be entitled to conduct the due diligence which would normally be conducted in connection with an offering of securities registered under the Securities Act, including receipt of customary opinions and comfort letters.

(f) Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding provisions of this Section 6 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each seller of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the Securities Act.

(g) Non-Exclusivity. The obligations of the Parties under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party.

(h) Primacy of Indemnification. The Company hereby acknowledges that certain of the Standard General Parties have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees that (i) it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Standard General Parties are primary and any obligation of the Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same Losses incurred by any of the Standard General Parties are secondary to any such obligation of the Company), (ii) that it shall be liable for the full amount of all Losses to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the articles and other organizational documents of the Company (or any other agreement between the Company and the Standard General Parties), without regard to any rights the Standard General Parties may have against the Indemnitors, and (iii) it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Indemnitors from any and all claims (x) against the Indemnitors for contribution, indemnification, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof and (y) that the Standard General Parties must seek indemnification from any Indemnitor before the Company must perform its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. No advancement or payment by the Indemnitors on behalf of the Standard General Parties with respect to any claim for which the Standard General Parties has sought indemnification from the Company hereunder shall affect the foregoing. The Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery which the Standard General Parties would have had against the Company if the Indemnitors had not advanced or paid any amount to or on behalf of the Standard General Parties. The Company and the Standard General Parties agree that the Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.

7. Registration Expenses. All reasonable fees and expenses incurred in the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company including, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses with respect to (A) filings required to be made with the SEC, all applicable securities exchanges and/or FINRA and (B) compliance with securities or blue sky laws, including, without limitation, any fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4(g)), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing Prospectuses if the printing of Prospectuses is requested by the managing underwriter(s), if any, or by a Holder making a Demand Notice with respect to such offering or the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses of the Company, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) expenses of the Company incurred in connection with any road show, (vi) fees and disbursements of all independent registered public accounting firms referred to in Section 4(n) hereof (including, without limitation, the expenses of any “cold comfort” letters required by this Agreement) and any other persons, including special experts retained by the Company and (vii) fees and disbursements of separate counsel (but not more than one firm of counsel that shall serve as corporate counsel for the Standard General Parties, in addition to one firm of counsel for each Standard General Party participating in such offering that shall serve as local counsel for such Standard General Party, as may be required in such offering) for the Standard General Parties and their Affiliates if any of them is participating in the offering (which counsel shall be selected by such participating Holders) and, if none of them is participating in the offering, one counsel for the Holders of Registrable Securities whose shares are included in a Registration Statement (which counsel shall be selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement) shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective. In addition, the Company shall pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be registered on any securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and rating agency fees and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company.

8. Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will timely file the Form 8-K in connection with the closing of the Acquisition that includes all Form 10 information (as defined in Rule 144(i)(3)) concerning the Company (including by promptly responding to any comments by the SEC thereto), file the other reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any of any Holder, make publicly available such information so long as necessary to permit sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144), and it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities (or, if the Company is not required to file reports as provided above, any Holder) may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

9. Certain Additional Agreements. If any Registration Statement or comparable statement under state blue sky laws refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the Holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (a) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the Company’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (b) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not in the judgment of the Company required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute or any state blue sky or securities law then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Termination. The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) its termination by the written agreement of all Parties or their respective successors in interest, (ii) with respect to a Holder, the date on which all Equity Securities held by such Holder have ceased to be Registrable Securities, (iii) with respect to the Company, the date on which all Equity Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities and (iv) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company. Nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability for the breach of any of the agreements set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of Sections 6 and 7 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Holdback Agreement. To the extent requested by the underwriter(s) managing any Underwritten Offering, each Holder (other than any Pledgee or Hedging Counterparty) agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, any sale pursuant to Rule 144, without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, during the Holdback Period following the effective date of such registration (except as part of such Underwritten Offering).

Unless the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, the Company agrees not to (i) effect any public sale or distribution of any of its securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities (other than a registration statement on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or any successor forms promulgated for similar purposes), (ii) file any Registration Statements relating to the registration of securities for the Company’s account (other than a registration statement on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or any successor forms promulgated for similar purposes), or (iii) make any public announcements related to clause (i) or (ii), in each case, during the period beginning on the effective date of any Registration Statement relating to a registration in which the Standard General Parties are participating and ending on the earlier of (a) the date on which all Registrable Securities registered on such Registration Statement are sold and (b) the Holdback Period after the effective date of such Registration Statement (except as part of such registration).

(c) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if any such amendment, action or omission to act, has received the written consent of the Company, as the case may be, and the Standard General Parties and their Affiliates that are Holders of Registrable Securities, or if no such Holders remain, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided that this Agreement may not be amended in a manner that would, by its terms, adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Standard General Parties or their Affiliates that are Holders of Registrable Securities without the consent of such Holders. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Any Holder may waive (in writing) the benefit of any provision of this Agreement with respect to itself for any purpose. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the Holder granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time.

(d) Successors, Assigns and Transferees. Each Holder may transfer or pledge Registrable Securities with the associated registration rights under this Agreement (including transfers occurring by operation of law or by reason of intestacy) to a Permitted Transferee or a pledgee (“Pledgee”) only if such Permitted Transferee or Pledgee agrees in writing to be bound as a Holder by the provisions of this Agreement, such agreement being substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Upon any transfer or pledge of Registrable Securities, other than as set forth in this Section 10(d), such securities shall no longer constitute Registrable Securities, except that any Registrable Securities that are pledged or made the subject of a Hedging Transaction, which Registrable Securities are not ultimately disposed of by the Holder pursuant to such pledge or Hedging Transaction shall be deemed to remain “Registrable Securities,” notwithstanding the release of such pledge or the completion of such Hedging Transaction.

(f) Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the Parties hereunder.

(g) Other Registration Rights. The Company hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, no registration rights have been granted to any other Person other than pursuant to this Agreement. Without the approval of the Standard General Parties and the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall (i) enter into any agreement granting registration rights to any Person which rights are prior in right to or inconsistent with the registration rights granted in this Agreement or (ii) enter into any agreement granting registration rights to any Person for such time as the Standard General Parties hold 50% or more of the outstanding Equity Securities; provided that this Section 10(g) shall not apply to the extension of customary registration rights in connection with the sale of debt securities or convertible debt securities.

(h) Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (i) constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede any prior discussions, correspondence, negotiation, proposed term sheet, agreement, understanding or agreement and there are no agreements, understandings, representations or warranties between the Parties other than those set forth or referred to in this Agreement and (ii) except as provided in Section 6 with respect to an Indemnified Party, is not intended to confer in or on behalf of any Person not a party to this Agreement (and their successors and assigns) any rights, benefits, causes of action or remedies with respect to the subject matter or any provision hereof.

(i) Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(i) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed and to be performed wholly within such State and without reference to the choice-of-law principles that would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction.

(ii) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any court of the State of New York located in such district any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such suit, action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court. Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit, action or other proceeding. The Parties further agree, to the extent permitted by law, that final and unappealable judgment against any of them in any suit, action or other proceeding contemplated above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the judgment, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment.

(iii) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(j) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(k) Enforcement. Each Party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

(l) Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(m) No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, the Company and each Holder (other than the Standard General Parties) covenant, agree and acknowledge that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any current or future director, officer, employee, shareholder, general or limited partner or member of the Standard General Parties or of 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 shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any current or future director, officer, employee, shareholder, general or limited partner or member of the Standard General Parties or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such for any obligation of the Standard General Parties 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.

(n) Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including via facsimile and electronic transmission), each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature(s).
