Beginning with such annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders or at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company at which the Class I directors of the Company Board are to be elected, or whenever such members of the Company Board are to be elected by written consent, the Company will include in the slate of directors recommended for election to Class I by the Company Board to the shareholders of the Company one member of the Company Board designated by GSCP VI Parallel, and will use its reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary (including the solicitation of proxies on such person’s behalf) to ensure such person is elected by the shareholders of the Company as a Class I director of the Company Board.

(b) In the event of resignation, death, removal or disqualification of a director nominated by GSCP VI Parallel in accordance with this Section 7.02 and subsequently elected to the Company Board, GSCP VI Parallel shall promptly designate a replacement director, and the Company will take all action necessary to ensure that such person is elected to the Company Board as a Class I director.

Section 7.03. Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds of the investment by Buyer in the Securities for future acquisitions of insurance companies, reinsurance companies and/or portfolios of insurance liabilities and/or for general corporate purposes.

The Issuance Notice shall specify the price at which such Company Securities are to be issued and the other material terms of the issuance, such terms to include, in any case, the right of Buyer (i) to elect that all or any portion of the Company Securities that it purchases be, if prior to the Non-Voting Common Shares Approval, Non-Voting Preferred Shares or, if after the receipt of the Non-Voting Common Shares Approval, Non-Voting Common Shares, (ii) to extend the closing of such purchase (solely with respect to the securities to be purchased by Buyer) for any period necessary to obtain any required consents or approvals from any Governmental Authority and (iii) to terminate its obligations to purchase all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of such Company Securities pursuant to this Section 7.04 without penalty if any such consent or approval is not promptly obtained. Subject to Section 7.04(e) below, Buyer shall be entitled to purchase up to Buyer’s Pro Rata Share of the Company Securities proposed to be issued, at the price and on the terms specified in the Issuance Notice. “Pro Rata Share” means, with respect to Buyer, the percentage of the Company’s share capital owned by Buyer on a Fully Diluted Basis.

The Exercise Notice shall specify the number (or amount) of Company Securities to be purchased by Buyer and shall constitute exercise by Buyer of its rights under this Section 7.04 and a binding agreement of Buyer to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Issuance Notice, the number (or amount) of Company Securities specified in the Exercise Notice. If, at the termination of such 10-Business-Day period, Buyer shall not have delivered an Exercise Notice to the Company, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights under this Section 7.04 with respect to the purchase of such Company Securities.

(c) The Company shall have 30 days from the date of the expiration of the exercise period provided for in Section 7.04(b) to consummate the proposed issuance of any or all of such Company Securities that Buyer has not elected to purchase at the price and upon terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company than those specified in the Issuance Notice; provided that, if such issuance is subject to regulatory approval, such 30-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 120 days from the date of the expiration of the exercise period provided for in Section 7.04(b). If the Company proposes to issue

any such Company Securities after such 30-day (or 120-day) period, it shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 7.04.

(d) At the consummation of the issuance of such Company Securities, the Company shall issue certificates representing the Company Securities to be purchased by Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.04, registered in Buyer’s name, against payment by Buyer of the purchase price for such Company Securities in accordance with the terms and conditions as specified in the Issuance Notice.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be entitled to purchase Company Securities as contemplated by this Section 7.04 in connection with issuances of Company Securities (i) pursuant to employee benefit plans or compensation plans or similar arrangements approved by the Company Board (including upon the exercise or conversion of employee stock options or other convertible securities granted pursuant to any such plans or arrangements), (ii) in connection with any bona fide, arm’s-length restructuring of outstanding debt of the Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) in connection with any bona fide, arm’s-length direct or indirect merger, acquisition or similar transaction or (iv) in connection with strategic business partnerships or joint ventures, the primary purpose of which, in the judgment of the Company Board, is not to raise additional capital. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.04 to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to consummate any proposed issuance of Company Securities, nor be liable to Buyer if the Company has not consummated any proposed issuance of Company Securities pursuant to this Section 7.04 for whatever reason, regardless of whether it shall have delivered an Issuance Notice or received any Exercise Notice in respect of such proposed issuance.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.04, the closing date of any proposed issuance of Company Securities to which this Section 7.04 applies may, at the Company’s discretion, occur prior to the expiration of the 20-day period contemplated by Section 7.04(a); provided that in such case Buyer shall continue to have the right to exercise its rights under this Section 7.04 by delivering an Exercise Notice within 20 days of the receipt of the Issuance Notice to acquire from the Company (or, as determined by the Company, from the purchasers of the Company Securities on such closing date) the number of Company Securities determined in accordance with Section 7.04(a) at the price and on the terms specified in the Exercise Notice.

(g) This Section 7.04 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on and after the earlier of (i) the Third Closing (or, if the Company Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the Company Shareholders Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof, the Second Closing) and (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Section 7.05. Existing Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants to Buyer that, other than the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of

January 31, 2007 among Castlewood Holdings Limited, Trident II, L.P., J. Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and the other parties named therein, it is not currently a party to any agreement with respect to any of its securities granting any registration rights to any Person.

(iii) if the prior written consent of the non-disclosing party shall have been obtained.

Nothing contained herein shall prevent the use (subject, to the extent possible, to a protective order) of Confidential Information in connection with the assertion or defense of any claim by or against the Company or Buyer.

(b) “Confidential Information” means any information concerning the Company or any Subsidiary or Buyer or any of its Affiliates or the financial condition, business, operations or prospects of any of the foregoing in the possession of or furnished to any party hereto (including by virtue of any present or former right to designate a director of the Company); provided that “Confidential Information” does not include information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by a party or

its partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, investment advisers or representatives (all such persons being collectively referred to as “Representatives”) in violation of this Agreement, (ii) is or was available to such party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to such party or its Representatives by the disclosing party, (iii) was or becomes available to such party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the disclosing party, which source is or was (at the time of receipt of the relevant information) not, to the best of such party’s knowledge, bound by a confidentiality agreement with (or other confidentiality obligation to) the disclosing party or (iv) is independently developed by such party without violating any confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation of secrecy to, the disclosing party.

If the Company determines that it or any of its Subsidiaries has become a CFC or ceased to be a CFC, the Company will provide prompt written notice to the Buyers.

(iii) If any Buyer reasonably determines that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, more likely than not, a CFC and that such Buyer is a United States Shareholder of such CFC, notwithstanding any determination by the Company to the contrary, the Company shall provide, and shall cause each Subsidiary to provide such Buyer, its tax advisors and its other authorized representatives such information (or, in lieu of such information, reasonable access to the offices, properties, employees, books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries) as is necessary to enable such Buyer to comply with the reporting requirements applicable to a United States Shareholder of a CFC.

(iv) If the Company determines that it is, or is likely to become, a PFIC, or if Buyer determines that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Company constitutes a PFIC for any taxable year, the Company shall provide Buyer with the information necessary in order for Buyer or any direct or indirect investor therein, as the case may be, to conclude that the Company is not a PFIC, or (A) upon the request of Buyer, permit Buyer to determine whether any Subsidiary is also a PFIC, (B) accurately prepare all tax returns and comply with any reporting requirements as a result of such determination, and (C) timely and properly make an election under section 1295 of the Code to treat the Company (and any Subsidiary that the Company or Buyer determines is likely to be a PFIC) as a “qualified electing fund” (a “QEF Election”) and comply with the reporting requirements applicable to such a QEF Election.

Survival

Section 9.01. Survival. The representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the Initial Closing until the second anniversary of the Initial Closing Date; provided that the representations and warranties (a) in Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section 3.05, Section 3.06, Section 3.23, Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 shall survive indefinitely or until the latest date permitted by law and (b) in Section 3.17 shall survive until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation with respect thereto. The covenants and agreements of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the Initial Closing indefinitely or for the shorter period explicitly specified therein, except that for such covenants and agreements that survive for such shorter period, breaches thereof shall survive indefinitely or until the latest date permitted by law. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentences, if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given as provided in Section 9.03 or 9.04, as applicable, to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time.

Section 9.02. Indemnification. (a) Subject to Section 9.01, effective at and after the Initial Closing, the Company hereby indemnifies Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assignees against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all damage, loss, liability and expense (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any action, suit or proceeding whether involving a third party claim or a claim solely between the parties hereto and any diminution in value but excluding lost profits and any other incidental, indirect or consequential damages, losses, liabilities or expenses) (collectively, “Damages”), incurred or suffered by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, or any of their respective successors and assignees arising out of (x) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty (each such misrepresentation and breach of warranty a “Warranty Breach”) or breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or (y) any action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation by any Governmental Authority, any shareholder of the Company or any other Person whose claim relates to a contract or other arrangement between such Person, on the one hand, and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, on the other, that in any such case relates to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any Damages (A) attributable to the errors or omissions on the part of Buyer or (B) that constitute attorneys’ fees and expenses of Buyer or its Affiliates incurred in connection with any action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation by any shareholder of the Company relating to this Agreement or the transactions

contemplated hereby, which attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be borne by Buyer); provided that, with respect to indemnification by the Company for Warranty Breaches (other than in respect of any Fundamental Representation) pursuant to this Section 9.02, (i) the Company shall not be liable for any such Warranty Breaches (other than Warranty Breaches in respect of any Bring-Down Representation) that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company shall not be liable unless the aggregate amount of Damages with respect to such Warranty Breaches exceeds $29,024,000, in which case the Company shall be liable for the full amount of such Damages (including, for the sake of clarity, all amounts up to and exceeding $29,024,000), subject to the following clause (iii), and (iii) the Company’s maximum liability shall not exceed $145,120,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if a Warranty Breach with respect to a Bring-Down Representation occurs with respect to facts or circumstances first arising after the Initial Closing Date, Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to such facts or circumstances or any Warranty Breach arising from such facts or circumstances with regard to the transactions completed at the Initial Closing.

(b) Subject to Section 9.01, effective at and after the Initial Closing, Buyer hereby indemnifies the Company, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assignees against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective successors and assignees arising out of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to indemnification by Buyer for any such misrepresentation or breach of warranty (other than in respect of any Fundamental Representation) pursuant to this Section 9.02, (i) Buyer shall not be liable unless the aggregate amount of Damages with respect to such misrepresentations or breaches of warranty exceeds $29,024,000, in which case Buyer shall be liable for the full amount of such Damages (including, for the sake of clarity, all amounts up to and exceeding $29,024,000), subject to the following clause (ii), and (ii) Buyer’s maximum liability shall not exceed $145,120,000.

Section 9.03. Third Party Claim Procedures. (a) The party seeking indemnification under Section 9.02 (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party (“Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 9.02. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have actually prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.03, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case at its own expense; provided that, prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must acknowledge that it would have an indemnity obligation for the Damages resulting from such Third Party Claim as provided under this Article 9.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party does not deliver the acknowledgment referred to in Section 9.03(b) within 20 days of receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.03(a), (ii) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be detrimental to the reputation or future business prospects of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (iv) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.03, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim if the settlement (i) does not release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim, (ii) imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (iii) relates to a criminal matter.

(e) In circumstances where the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) above, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party; provided that in such event the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (i) incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim or (ii) if representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party.

(f) Each party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and

attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Section 9.04. Direct Claim Procedures. If an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 9.02(a) or 9.02(b) against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days following the receipt of a notice with respect to any such claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its indemnity obligation to the Indemnified Party for any Damages with respect to such claim, such Damages shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Party any and all Damages arising out of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its indemnity obligation for any Damages with respect to such claim, the parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of jurisdiction determined pursuant to Section 11.07.

Section 9.05. Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provisions contained in this Article 9 shall be the exclusive remedy for any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or any other matter arising pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Article 9 shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any manner any rights or remedies that any party has, or might have, at law, in equity or otherwise, based on any fraud (including, for the sake of clarity, any claim for fraud under the U.S. federal securities laws).

ARTICLE 10
Termination

Section 10.01. Grounds for Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Third Closing:

(a) by mutual written agreement of the Company and Buyer;

(b) [Reserved]

(c) by either the Company or Buyer if either the Second Closing or the Third Closing shall not have been consummated on or before the first anniversary

of the date hereof, provided that, unless the Company’s shareholders shall have failed to approve the Shareholder Approval Matters set forth on Section 8.07(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule at the Company Shareholders Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof, such date shall be extended to the eighteen-month anniversary of the date hereof if either the Company or Buyer delivers a notice of extension to the other party prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof;

(d) by either the Company or Buyer (but only after the Second Closing) if the Company’s shareholders shall have failed to approve the Shareholder Approval Matters set forth on Section 8.07(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule at the Company Shareholders Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof; or

(e) by either the Company or Buyer if there shall be any Applicable Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibited or if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate any nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 10.01(b) through 10.01(e) shall give notice of such termination to the other party.

Section 10.02. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 10.01, such termination shall be without liability of any party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party) to another party to this Agreement; provided that if such termination shall result from the (i) willful failure of any party to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other parties, (ii) failure to perform a covenant of this Agreement or (iii) breach by any party hereto of any representation or warranty or agreement contained herein, such party shall be fully liable for any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the other party as a result of such failure or breach to the extent provided in, and subject to the terms of, Article 9. The provisions of Sections 6.03 through 6.06, Article 7, Article 9, this Article 10 and Article 11 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 10.01.

Section 10.03. Several Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all obligations of Buyer hereunder shall be several and not joint obligations of the respective Buyer entities. For the avoidance of doubt, no such entity shall be liable for Damages incurred by the Company or its Affiliates and their respective successors and assignees arising from any misrepresentation or breach of warranty made by any other Buyer entity or any breach of covenant or other agreement made or to be performed by any other such entity.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of April 20, 2011 (this “Agreement”), is made among ENSTAR GROUP LIMITED, a Bermuda company (the “Company”) and GSCP VI AIV Navi, Ltd., GSCP VI Offshore Navi, Ltd., GSCP VI Parallel AIV Navi, Ltd. and GSCP VI Employee Navi, Ltd., each a Cayman Islands exempted company, and GSCP VI GmbH Navi, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (collectively, the “Shareholder”).

A. The Company is a party to an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”), dated as of April 20, 2011, with the Shareholder, which provides, among other things, for the Shareholder to subscribe from the Company for (i) voting ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (“Voting Common Shares”), (ii) Series A convertible non-voting preference shares, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (“Non-Voting Preferred Shares”) (or, subject to the Non-Voting Common Shares Approval, Series C non-voting ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the “Non-Voting Common Shares” and, together with the Voting Common Shares, the “Common Shares”)) and (iii) warrants to purchase Non-Voting Preferred Shares (or, subject to the Non-Voting Common Shares Approval, Non-Voting Common Shares), in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement.

B. The Company has agreed to provide the registration rights set forth in this Agreement.

C. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and set forth in Section 10 are used as defined in Section 10. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Investment Agreement.

Now, therefore, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Demand Registrations.

(a) Requests for Registration. At any time following the one (1) year anniversary of the date hereof, the Shareholder shall be entitled to make requests in writing that the Company effect the registration of all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by the Shareholder (a “Registration Request”). The Shareholder shall be entitled to make two (2) such Registration Requests. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to register, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all Registrable Securities that have been requested to be registered by the Shareholder in the Registration Request (a “Demand Registration”); provided, that the Company will not be required to effect a registration

pursuant to this Section 1(a) unless the aggregate number of shares proposed to be registered constitutes at least 25% of the total number of Registrable Securities purchased by the Shareholder under the Investment Agreement, or if the total number of Registrable Securities then outstanding is less than such amount, all of the Registrable Securities then outstanding. The Company will not be obligated to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 1(a) more than once in any nine (9) month period. Except if expressly prohibited by applicable law, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section 1.

(b) Limitation on Demand Registrations. A request for registration will not constitute the use of a Registration Request pursuant to Section 1(a) if (i) the Shareholder determines in good faith to withdraw (prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such request) the proposed registration, (ii) the Registration Statement relating to such request is not declared effective within ninety (90) days of the date such registration statement is first filed with the SEC, (iii) prior to the sale of at least 90% of the Registrable Securities included in the registration relating to such request, such registration is adversely affected by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency, quasi-governmental agent or self-regulatory body or court for any reason and the Company fails to have such stop order, injunction or other order or requirement removed, withdrawn or resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the holders of a majority of securities included in such registration statement within thirty (30) days of the date of such order, (iv) more than 20% of the Registrable Securities requested by the Shareholder to be included in the registration are not so included pursuant to Section 1(e); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder shall nonetheless be permitted to include the number of Registrable Securities that the underwriter permits to be included in such registration, (v) the conditions to closing specified in any underwriting agreement or purchase agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such request are not satisfied (other than as a result of a material breach thereunder by the Shareholder), or (vi) the Company did not provide Full Cooperation in the case of an underwritten offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing but except if expressly prohibited by applicable law, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any request for registration pursuant to Section 1(a) regardless of the application of this provision.

(c) Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company may postpone for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed ninety (90) days, the filing or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration if the Company furnishes to the Shareholder a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that the

Board of Directors of the Company has determined that such Demand Registration is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company to engage in any acquisition of assets or any merger, amalgamation, consolidation, tender offer or similar transaction, or otherwise would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations, prospects or financial condition of the Company; provided, that the Company may not effect such a postponement more than once in any 360-day period. If the Company so postpones the filing or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Shareholder will be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such registration request will not count as a Registration Request for the purposes of Section 1(a). Except if expressly prohibited by applicable law, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any such non-completed registration.

(d) Selection of Underwriters. If the Shareholder intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its Registration Request by means of an underwritten offering, the Shareholder will so advise the Company as a part of the Registration Request, and the Company will include such information in any notice sent by the Company to the Prior Holders with respect to such Registration Request. In such event, the Shareholder will have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering, subject to the Company’s approval which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and will not be withheld, conditioned or delayed in the case the selected underwriter is an Affiliate of the Shareholder). In connection with each underwritten Demand Registration, the Company shall cause there to be Full Cooperation.

(e) Priority on Demand Registrations. Subject to the Company’s obligations under the Prior Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will not include in any underwritten registration pursuant to Section 1(a) any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Shareholder. If the managing underwriter advises the Company that in its opinion the number of Registrable Securities and Prior Holder Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering) exceeds the number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, including the price at which the securities can be sold, the Company will include in such offering the maximum number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, including the price at which the securities can be sold, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, Registrable Securities and Prior Holder Securities, pro rata among the respective holders thereof participating in such registration on the basis of the aggregate number of

Registrable Securities or Prior Holder Securities, as applicable, owned by each such holder on the date of such request or in such other manner as they may agree; (ii) second, securities the Company proposes to sell and (iii) third, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in the Prior Registration Rights Agreement, no employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof will be entitled to participate, directly or indirectly, in any such registration to the extent that the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm) determines in good faith that the participation of such employee in such registration would adversely affect the marketability or offering price of the securities being sold in such registration.

(f) Future Registration Rights. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company will not grant to any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company registration rights with respect to such securities which are senior to or otherwise conflict in any material respect with the rights granted pursuant to this Section 1 without the prior written consent of the Shareholder; provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent the Company from granting additional demand or piggy back registration rights that are pari passu with the rights set forth in this Agreement, and any dilution of the registration rights herein resulting from any such pari passu rights shall not be deemed to conflict with the rights set forth herein.

2. Piggyback Registrations.

(a) Right to Piggyback. At any time after the date hereof, whenever the Company proposes to register Voting Common Shares (other than a registration pursuant to Section 1(a), a registration on Form S-4 or a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more securityholders of the Company, and the registration form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of Registrable Securities, the Company will give prompt written notice to the Shareholder of its intention to effect such a registration and will include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after the date of the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Once the Shareholder has made such a written request, it may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth (5th) day prior to the anticipated effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company may terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it and covered by this Section 2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not the Shareholder has elected to include

Registrable Securities in such registration, and except for the obligation to pay Registration Expenses pursuant to Section 2(c) the Company will have no liability to the Shareholder in connection with such termination or withdrawal. A Piggyback Registration shall not be considered a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 1 of this Agreement.

(b) Underwritten Registration. If the registration referred to in Section 2(a) is proposed to be underwritten, the Company will so advise the Shareholder as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2(a). In such event, the right of the Shareholder to registration pursuant to this Section 2 will be conditioned upon the Shareholder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Shareholder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and the Shareholder 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 or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. If the Shareholder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter.

(c) Piggyback Registration Expenses. Except if expressly prohibited by applicable law, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Piggyback Registration, whether or not any registration or prospectus becomes effective or final.

(d) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, including the price at which such securities can be sold, the Company will include in such registration the maximum number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, including the price at which such securities can be sold, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities and Prior Holder Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the Shareholder and the Prior Holders of such securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities and Prior Holder Securities so requested to be included therein owned by each such holder or in such other manner as they may agree, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in the Prior Registration Rights Agreement, any employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof will not be entitled to participate, directly or indirectly, in any such registration to the extent that the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not

underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm) will determine in good faith that the participation of such employee in such registration would adversely affect the marketability or offering price of the securities being sold in such registration.

(e) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration relates solely to an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of other holders of the Company’s securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, including the price at which such securities can be sold, the Company will include in such registration the maximum number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, including the price at which such securities can be sold, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, (A) the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration and (B) the Registrable Securities and Prior Holder Securities pro rata among the holders thereof on the basis of the number of securities so requested to be included therein owned by each such holder or in such other manner as they may agree, and (ii) second, other securities requested to be included in such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof will not be entitled to participate, directly or indirectly, in any such registration to the extent that the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm) will determine in good faith that the participation of such employee in such registration would adversely affect the marketability or offering price of the securities being sold in such registration.

(f) Other Registrations. If the Company files a Registration Statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1 or Section 2, and if such registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, subject to the terms of the Prior Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will not file or cause to be effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the 1933 Act (except on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms), whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) days have elapsed from the effective date of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

3. Registration Procedures. Subject to Section 1(c), whenever the Shareholder has requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the

intended method of disposition thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

(a) prepare and (within forty five (45) days after the end of the period within which requests for registration may be given to the Company pursuant hereto) file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, make all required filings with the National Association of Securities Dealers and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective; provided, that before filing a Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to one firm of counsel selected by the Shareholder in accordance with Section 4(b) copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to review of such counsel at the Company’s expense. Unless such counsel earlier informs the Company that it has no objections to the filing of such Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, the Company will not file such Registration Statement, amendment or supplement prior to the date that is five Business Days from the date that such counsel received such document. The Company will not file any Registration Statement or amendment or post-effective amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement to which such counsel will have reasonably objected in writing on the grounds that such amendment or supplement does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act or of the rules or regulations thereunder. The Company shall not permit any person acting on behalf of the Company to use any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the 0000 Xxx) in connection with any registration statement covering Registrable Securities, without the prior consent of the Shareholder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of either (i) not less than six (6) months or, if such Registration Statement relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer or (ii) such shorter period as will terminate when all of the securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Shareholder set forth in such Registration Statement (but in any event not before the expiration of any longer period required under the 1933 Act), and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Shareholder set forth in such Registration Statement;

(c) furnish to the Shareholder of the Registrable Securities being sold such number of copies, without charge, of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, including each preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, all exhibits and other documents filed therewith and such other documents as the Shareholder may reasonably request including in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Shareholder;

(d) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Shareholder reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or reasonably advisable to enable the Shareholder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by the Shareholder (provided, 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 subsection, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);

(e) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies, authorities or self-regulatory bodies as may be necessary or reasonably advisable in light of the business and operations of the Company to enable the Shareholder to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof;

(f) immediately notify the Shareholder and any underwriter(s), at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, of the occurrence of any event which will have the result that, the prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and, as promptly as practicable, prepare and furnish to the Shareholder and underwriter(s) a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made;

(g) notify the Shareholder (i) when the prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or to amend or to supplement such prospectus or for additional information

and (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for any of such purposes;

(h) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or, if no similar securities issued by the Company are then listed on any securities exchange, use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on the Nasdaq;

(i) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

(j) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements with customary provisions) and take all such other actions as the Shareholder or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, effecting a share split or a combination of shares);

(k) make available for inspection by the Shareholder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Shareholder any or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and documents relating to the business of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by the Shareholder or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, that the Shareholder will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such underwriter, accountant or other agent to enter into a customary confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company; provided further, that such confidentiality agreement will not contain terms that would prohibit any such Person from complying with its obligations under applicable law or Nasdaq rules.

(o) obtain one or more comfort letters, addressed to the Shareholder (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering to the underwriters of such offering), signed by the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters;

(p) provide legal opinions of the Company’s outside counsel, addressed to Shareholder (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, to the underwriters of such offering), with respect to the Registration Statement and prospectus in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature;

(q) furnish to the Shareholder such information and assistance as the Shareholder may reasonably request in connection with any “due diligence” effort which the Shareholder deems appropriate; and

(r) use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions, and do and cause to be done all other things, necessary or reasonably advisable to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.

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 used in connection therewith, that refers to the Shareholder by name, or otherwise identifies the Shareholder as the holder of any securities of the Company, without the consent of the Shareholder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless and to the extent such disclosure is required by law.

The Company represents and warrants that no Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall contain any 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 not misleading (except that the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to information relating to the Shareholder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Shareholder specifically for inclusion therein).

The Company may require the Shareholder to furnish the Company with such information regarding the Shareholder and pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

4. Registration Expenses.

In addition, the Company will, in any event, pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expenses of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange or automatic quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed (including the Nasdaq). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Selling Expenses will be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of their shares so registered.

(b) In connection with each registration pursuant to Section 1 and each Piggyback Registration, the Company will reimburse the Shareholder for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one law firm, who will be chosen by the Shareholder.

5. Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless, the Shareholder, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors and partners and each Person who controls the Shareholder (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) against, and pay and reimburse such holder, affiliate, director, officer or partner or

controlling person for any losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or any such affiliate, director, officer or partner or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in 1933 Act Rule 433), (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the National Association of Securities Dealers or any state securities laws applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, and the Company will pay and reimburse the Shareholder and each such affiliate, director, officer, partner and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding or (iv) the failure to include, at the time of pricing any offering, the information required by Sections 12(a)(2) and 17(a)(2) of the 1933 Act; provided, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such Registration Statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company by the Shareholder expressly for use therein or by the Shareholder’s failure to deliver, to the extent required by law and except to the extent such failure results from a failure by the Company to comply with Section 3(f), a copy of the Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished the Shareholder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company, if requested, will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) to at least the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Shareholder.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Shareholder is participating, it will furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, each other

Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) and each underwriter (to the extent required by such underwriter) against any losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof), joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer, any such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, actions or proceedings arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any application or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company by the Shareholder expressly for use therein, and the Shareholder will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer, underwriter and controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided, that the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless will be individual and several to the Shareholder and will be limited to the amount of net proceeds received by the Shareholder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its prior written consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. Failure to give prompt written notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligations hereunder except to the extent that

such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice.

(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the registration and sale of any securities by any Person entitled to any indemnification hereunder and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relevant fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount the Shareholder will be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(e) will be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to the Shareholder of the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the registration statement which gives rise to such obligation to contribute (less the aggregate amount of any damages which the Shareholder has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability or action or any substantially similar loss, claim, damage, expense, liability or action arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities).

6. Participation in Underwritten Registrations.

(a) The Shareholder may not participate in any registration hereunder that is underwritten unless it (i) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the managing underwriter(s); provided, that the Shareholder will not be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that it has requested the

Company to include in any registration), (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, and (iii) cooperates with the Company’s reasonable requests in connection with such registration or qualification (it being understood that the Company’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, which failure is caused by the Shareholder’s failure to cooperate, will not constitute a breach by the Company of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder will not be required to agree to any indemnification obligations on the part of the Shareholder that are materially greater than its obligations pursuant to Section 6(b).

(b) The Shareholder agrees that, if it is participating in any registration hereunder, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection 3(f) above, the Shareholder will forthwith discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until it receives copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by such Section 3(f). In the event the Company gives any such notice, the applicable time period during which a Registration Statement is to remain effective will be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to this Section 6(b) to and including the date when the Shareholder will have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f).

7. Rule 144.

(a) Facilitation of Sales Pursuant to Rule 144. The Company covenants to the Shareholder that to the extent it shall be required to do so under the 1934 Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the 1934 Act or the 1933 Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the 1934 Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144), and (ii) make and keep public information available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Shareholder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of the Shareholder in connection with its sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

(b) Availability of Rule 144 Not Excuse for Obligations under Section 2. The fact that the Shareholder may become eligible to sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 shall not (i) cause such

Securities to cease to be Registrable Securities or (ii) excuse the Company’s obligations set forth in this Agreement.

8. Lock Up Agreements. In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations under this Agreement, the Shareholder agrees in connection with any registration of the Company’s securities (whether or not it is participating in such registration) upon the request of the Company and the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company’s securities, not to effect (other than pursuant to such registration) any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, any sale pursuant to Rule 144, or make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities, any other equity securities of the Company or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 90 days) beginning on the effective date of such registration as the Company and the underwriters may specify; provided, that nothing herein will prevent a Shareholder entity that is a partnership or corporation from making a distribution of Registrable Securities to the partners or shareholders thereof that is otherwise in compliance with applicable securities laws, so long as such distributees agree to be so bound; provided, further, that no such restrictions shall in any way limit the Shareholder or any of its Affiliates in engaging in any brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, principaling, merger advisory, financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, investment activity and other similar activities conducted in the ordinary course of its respective business. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to work with the underwriters to limit any lock-up period under this Section 8 to the minimum number of days that the underwriters consider advisable.

	(i)		any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Company’s memorandum of association or these Bye-laws (including any amendment, alteration or repeal by means of a merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) so as to significantly and adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or limited voting rights of the Series B Non-Voting Common Shares or the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares, as applicable;

	(ii)		any consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Series B Non-Voting Common Shares or the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares or of a merger, consolidation or amalgamation of the Company with another corporation or other entity (except for any such merger, consolidation or amalgamation in which the consideration paid to shareholders is entirely in cash), unless in each case (x) the shares of Series B Non-Voting Common Shares or the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares, as applicable, remain outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which the Company is not the surviving or resulting entity, are converted into or exchanged for securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (y) such shares have such rights, preferences, privileges and limited voting rights, and limitations and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and limited voting rights, and limitations and restrictions thereof, of the Series B Non-Voting Common Shares or the Series C Non-

Voting Common Shares, as applicable, immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole.

provided, for the sake of clarity, that the holders of the Series A Non-Voting Common Shares and the Series D Non-Voting Common Shares shall not be entitled to vote such shares, except as required under Bermuda law.

(d) Each Series A Non-Voting Common Share and Series B Non-Voting Common Share shall be automatically converted into one Common Share, subject to any necessary adjustments for any share splits, dividends, recapitalizations, consolidations or similar transactions occurring in respect of the Common Shares or the Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares after the date of the adoption of these Bye-laws, immediately prior to any transfer by the registered holder, whether or not for value, to a third party, except for transfers to a nominee or Affiliate of such holder in a transfer that will not result in a change of beneficial ownership (as determined under Rule 13d-3 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or to a person that already holds Series A Non-Voting Common Shares or Series B Non-Voting Common Shares.

(e) Each Series C Non-Voting Common Share and Series D Non-Voting Common Share shall be automatically converted into one Common Share, subject to any necessary adjustments for any share splits, dividends, recapitalizations, consolidations or similar transactions occurring in respect of the Common Shares or the Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares after the date of the adoption of these Bye-laws, only upon the transfer by the registered holder thereof, whether or not for value, to a third party in a Widely Dispersed Offering. As used herein, “Widely Dispersed Offering” means (i) a widespread public distribution, (ii) a transfer in which no transferee (or group of associated transferees) would receive 2% or more of any class of voting shares of the Company or (iii) a transfer to a transferee that would control more than 50% of the voting shares of the Company without any transfer from the holder. For purposes of the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares and Series D Non-Voting Common Shares, the term “registered holder” or “holder” means GSCP or its BHC Affiliates and any direct or indirect transferee of GSCP or its BHC Affiliates except a direct or indirect transferee that receives the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares or Series D Non-Voting Common Shares in a Widely Dispersed Offering.

(f) The holders of the Series A Non-Voting Common Shares shall not be permitted to convert such shares into any other class of the Company’s share capital or into any other series of Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares, except pursuant to a transfer permitted by clause (d) of this Bye-law 4.3.

(g) The holders of the Series B Non-Voting Common Shares shall have the right to convert all or any number of such shares into Series C Non-Voting

Common Shares, Series D Non-Voting Common Shares or Common Shares at any time, in the sole discretion of such holder.

(h) The holders of the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares shall have the right to convert all or any number of such shares into Series D Non-Voting Common Shares at any time, in the sole discretion of such holder. The holders of the Series D Non-Voting Common Shares shall have no right to convert such shares, except that, upon the receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals, all or any number of such shares may be converted into Series C Non-Voting Common Shares at any time, in the sole discretion of such holder.

(i) If at any time the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution to any holder of Common Shares in the form of Common Shares or other voting security of the Company, the Company shall declare and pay to each holder of Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares a proportional dividend or distribution in the form of the same series of Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares.

(j) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the consideration payable to GSCP or its BHC Affiliates as holders of Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares upon a Reorganization Event (as defined below) consists (in whole or in part) of property or securities that would, in the sole judgment of any holder thereof, create, aggravate or exacerbate any issue, problem or concern for any such holder or any of its affiliates, then the consideration payable to such holder shall be adjusted (e.g., by the issuance of non-voting securities that are economically equivalent to the voting securities they replaced and would convert into such voting securities on transfer to an unaffiliated third party, subject, if applicable, to the conversion restrictions set forth in Bye-law 4.3(e)) to the maximum extent practicable to eliminate or address such issue, problem or concern, so long as such adjusted or different securities have the same value as, and are pari passu with, the securities that they replaced.

4.7(c) [Amended and restated 4.7(c)]

In the event that a Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder exists, (i) the aggregate votes conferred by Common Shares held by a Member and treated as Controlled Shares of that Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder shall be reduced to the extent necessary such that the combined voting power conferred by the Common Shares and the voting power that would be conferred by the Common Shares into which the Series B Non-Voting Common Shares are then convertible, in each case that are treated as Controlled Shares of the Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder, will constitute 9.5% of the voting power of all Common Shares (taking into account the reduction effected by clause (ii) of this Bye-law 4.7(c)) and (ii) the aggregate votes conferred by the Common Shares held by GSCP and its affiliates and treated as Controlled Shares of such Members shall be correspondingly reduced to

the extent necessary such that the ratio of (x) the voting power represented by the sum of (A) the votes conferred by such Common Shares and (B) the votes that would be conferred by any Common Shares into which the Series B Non-Voting Common Shares are then convertible to (y) the voting power of all Common Shares (taking into account the reduction effected by clause (i) of this Bye-law 4.7(c)) is not greater than the ratio as if the adjustment described in clause (i) of this Bye-law 4.7(c) had not occurred. In applying the previous sentence where shares held by more than one Member are treated as Controlled Shares of such Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder, the reduction in votes shall apply to such Members in descending order according to their respective Attribution Percentages, provided, that in the event of a tie, the reduction shall apply first to the Member whose shares are Controlled Shares of the Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder by virtue of the Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder’s economic interest in (as opposed to voting control with respect to) such shares. The adjustments of voting power described in this Bye-law shall apply repeatedly until there is no 9.5% U.S. Shareholder. The Board may deviate from any of the principles described in this Bye-law and determine that shares held by a Member shall carry different voting rights as it determines appropriate (1) to avoid the existence of any 9.5% U.S. Shareholder or (2) to avoid adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any other Member or its affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, in applying the provisions of Bye-laws 4.7 through 4.10, a share may carry a fraction of a vote. In the event any Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares of any registered holder are entitled to vote on any matter under Bermuda law (including, but not limited to, any Reorganization Event), such shares shall be deemed for purposes of this Bye-law 4.7(c) to be that number of Common Shares into which such Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares may be converted upon a qualified transfer, and the voting power adjustments set forth in this Bye-law 4.7(c) shall apply to Common Shares and such Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares, collectively, on such basis. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the aggregate voting power of the holders of Series C Non-Voting Common Shares and Series D Non-Voting Common Shares with respect to any merger, consolidation or amalgamation of the Company with another corporation or other entity shall in no event exceed 0.01% of the aggregate voting power of the Company’s issued share capital, and this sentence shall not be amended without the affirmative vote (or written consent) of the holders representing a majority of each of the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares and Series D Non-Voting Common Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the voting power adjustments set forth in this Bye-law 4.7(c) shall not apply to the voting rights set forth in Bye-law 4.3(c).

* * *

15. [Variation of Rights Attaching to Shares. Add at end:]

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares and Series D Non-Voting Common Shares only, the rights attached to such

Series C Non-Voting Common Shares or such Series D Non-Voting Common Shares may, whether or not the Company is being wound-up, be varied with the consent in writing of each registered holder thereof holding such Series C Non-Voting Common Shares or Series D Non-Voting Common Shares to the extent such variation significantly and adversely affects the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares or Series D Non-Voting Common Shares set forth in Bye-law 4.3.

[New Bye-law 53.3 and 53.4:]

53.3 The rights conferred under this Bye-law 53 shall not be exclusive of any other right that any individual may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, Bye-law, resolution of Members or Directors, agreement, or otherwise and shall continue as to an individual who has ceased to be a Director, Officer, employee or agent, as applicable, and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators, and personal representatives.

53.4 The Company hereby acknowledges that the Director designated by GSCP pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Investment Agreement may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by GSCP and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to such person are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such person are secondary) with respect to any actions, costs, charges, losses, damages or expenses incurred or sustained in connection with the execution by such person of his or her duties as a Director of the Company, (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of such expenses incurred by such person and shall be liable for the full amount of all such expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of these Bye-laws of the Company (or any other agreement between the Company and such person), without regard to any rights such person may have, or may be pursuing, against the Fund Indemnitors, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of such person with respect to any claim for which such person has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such person against the Company. The Company and such person agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Bye-law 53.4.

[New Bye-law 53A:]

53A CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY

The provisions of this Bye-law 53A are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Company as they may involve GSCP, its affiliates and their officers and directors, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Company, its affiliates and their officers, directors, employees and shareholders in connection therewith:

(a) Subject to any express contractual provisions to the contrary, GSCP, its affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, partners and employees (collectively the “GSCP Parties”) shall have the right to, and shall have no duty not to: (i) engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company, (ii) do business with any client or customer of the Company and (iii) employ or otherwise engage any Officer, Director or employee of the Company; and, in each case, to the extent permitted under Bermuda law, no GSCP Party shall be liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of any such activities of any GSCP Party or of such person’s participation therein. In the event that any GSCP Party acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter (other than knowledge acquired through a GSCP Party acting in his or her capacity as Director from the Company or its Directors, Officers or employees) that may be a corporate opportunity for both a GSCP Party and the Company, none of the GSCP Parties shall have any duty whatsoever to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company and, to the extent permitted under Bermuda law, shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a Member of the Company by reason of the fact that a GSCP Party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person or entity or does not present such corporate opportunity to the Company;

(b) For the purposes of this Bye-law 53A “corporate opportunities” shall include, but not be limited to, business opportunities that the Company is financially able to undertake, which are, from their nature, in the line of the Company’s business, are of practical advantage to it and are ones in which the Company has an interest or a reasonable expectancy, and with respect to which the interest of any GSCP Party, could be brought into conflict with that of the Company;

(c) Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in Shares of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Bye-law 53A;

(d) Notwithstanding anything in these Bye-laws to the contrary and in addition to any vote of the Board required by these Bye-laws or the Act, until the occurrence of the Operative Date, the affirmative vote of at least three-quarters of the votes of all the Common Shares then outstanding entitled to be cast thereon

shall be required to alter, amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, any provision of this Bye-law 53A. “Operative Date” shall mean the later of (i) the first date on which GSCP ceases to own beneficially (excluding for such purposes any shares of the Company beneficially owned by GSCP but not for its own account, including (in such exclusion) beneficial ownership which arises by virtue of some entity that is an affiliate of GSCP being a sponsor or advisor of a mutual or similar fund that beneficially owns Common Shares) at least 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company and (ii) the first date on which no Director is a GSCP Party.

Dear Sirs:

This letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) will confirm our agreement that, in connection with an investment by one of your affiliated funds in Enstar Group Limited (the “Company”), GS Capital Partners VI Parallel, L.P. (“Investor”) will be entitled to the following contractual management rights relating to the Company (collectively, the “VCOC Rights”):

	1.		If at any time after the Initial Closing (as defined in the Investment Agreement dated April 20, 2011) by and among the Company and the other parties named therein (the “Investment Agreement”) the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) does not include at least one member nominated by Investor (for any reason), Investor shall be entitled to consult with and advise management of the Company on significant business issues of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including management’s proposed annual operating plans, and management of the Company will meet regularly during each year with representatives of Investor (the “Representatives”) at the Company’s facilities at mutually agreeable times for such consultation and advice, including to review progress in achieving said plans.

	2.		Investor may inspect the books and records and facilities and properties of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries at reasonable times and intervals concerning the general status of the Company’s financial conditions and operations, provided that access to privileged information need not be provided.

	3.		If at any time after the Initial Closing the Company Board does not include at least one member nominated by Investor or a non-voting observer appointed by Investor pursuant to another agreement or understanding with the Company (for any reason), Investor shall have the right to appoint one non-voting “observer” (the “Observer”) to the Company Board, who shall (i) be provided by the Company with all notices of meetings, consents, minutes and other written materials that are provided to the Company Board or any committee thereof at the same time as such materials are provided to the Company Board or such committee, as applicable, (ii) be entitled to attend all meetings of the Company

Board and any committee thereof and (iii) be entitled to participate in discussions at all such meetings; provided, that the Observer may be excluded from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Company Board determines in good faith, upon advice of counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege. Reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Observer for the purposes of attending Company Board (or committee) meetings and conducting other Company business will be paid by the Company.

Investor agrees, and shall cause each of its Representatives to agree, that any confidential information provided to or learned by it in connection with the exercise of Investor’s VCOC Rights under this Letter Agreement shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Investment Agreement.

This Letter Agreement shall remain in effect until (a) such time as Investor no longer owns, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the equity securities of the Company purchased under the Investment Agreement (assuming full exercise of the warrants issued thereunder), or (b) the consummation of an amalgamation, merger or consolidation of the Company that is effected (i) for independent business reasons unrelated to extinguishing the VCOC Rights and (ii) for purposes other than (A) the continuance or reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction or (B) the formation of a holding company that will be owned exclusively by the Company’s shareholders and will hold all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s successor. The confidentiality obligations referenced herein will survive any such termination.

The rights set forth in this Letter Agreement are intended to satisfy the requirement of contractual management rights for purposes of qualifying Investor’s interests in the Company as venture capital investments for purposes of the Department of Labor’s “plan assets” regulations, and in the event that, after the date hereof, as a result of any change in applicable law or regulation or a judicial or administrative interpretation of applicable law or regulation, it is determined that such rights are not satisfactory for such purpose, Investor and the Company shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to agree upon mutually satisfactory management rights which satisfy such regulations.


	Very truly yours, Enstar Group Limited
