For the avoidance of doubt, as of the Effective Date:

provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any date on which the Aggregate Ownership of any Nominating Stockholder Group falls below 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, such Nominating Stockholder Group’s right to nominate any Directors to the Board shall automatically terminate and any subsequent increase in the Aggregate Ownership of such Nominating Stockholder Group to, or in excess of, 10% shall not entitle such Nominating Stockholder Group to any rights under this Article II; and

(c) Nominations. With respect to any Director to be nominated by any Nominating Stockholder Group other than the initial Directors listed in Section 2.1(a), a Nominating Stockholder Group shall nominate its Director or Directors by delivering to the Company its written statement at least 60 days prior to the annual meeting of the Company where such Nominating Stockholder Group is entitled to nominate its Director or Directors and setting forth such Director’s or Directors’ business address, telephone number, facsimile number and e-mail address; provided, that if a Nominating Stockholder Group shall fail to deliver such written notice, such Nominating Stockholder Group, shall be deemed to have nominated the Director(s) previously nominated (or designated pursuant to this Section 2.1(c)) by such Nominating Stockholder Group who is/are currently serving on the Board.

(d) Company Obligations. The Company hereby agrees to take all Necessary Action to effectuate this Section 2.1 by (A) including the Director Nominees of each Nominating Stockholder Group nominated pursuant to this Section 2.1 as the nominees to the Board on each slate of nominees for election of the Board included in the Company’s annual meeting proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document), (B) recommending the election of such Director Nominees to the stockholders of the Company and (C) without limiting the foregoing, using its reasonable best efforts to cause such Director Nominees to be elected to the Board, including providing at least as high a level of support for the election of such Director Nominees as it provides to any other individual standing for election as a Director.

(iii) If any Director previously nominated by a Nominating Stockholder Group dies or is unwilling or unable to serve as such or otherwise resigns from office, then the Nominating Stockholder Group who previously nominated such Director shall promptly nominate a successor to such Director, in accordance with this Section 2.1; but if none of the Nominating Stockholder Groups are entitled to fill such vacant Director position(s), such vacant Director position(s) shall be filled by the Board in accordance with the Governing Documents.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 3.1 Demand Registration.

(a) Requests for Registration. Subject to Section 3.1(b) and the other terms of this Article III, any 5% Stockholder shall have the right to, in each case, pursuant to Section 3.1(c) or Section 3.1(d), request the Company to effect the registration under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of the offering of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by such 5% Stockholder, by submitting a written request of such registration and specifying the amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered and the intended method (or methods) and plan of disposition thereof, including whether such requested registration is to involve an underwritten offering (a “Registration Demand”). The Company shall give prompt written notice thereof (a “Demand Registration Notice”) (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt of such Registration Demand) to each of the other 5% Stockholders, each of whom shall be entitled to elect to include, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article III, Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by it in the Registration Statement to which a Demand Registration Notice relates, by submitting a written request to the Company (a “Registration Request”) within fifteen (15) days after the date of such Demand Registration Notice, specifying the number of Registrable Securities that such Stockholder intends to dispose of pursuant to such Registration Statement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC, within ninety (90) days after the date of the applicable Registration Demand, a Registration Statement with respect to the following (in either case subject to Section 3.1(j) if the Registrable Securities will be sold in an underwritten offering): (i) all Registrable Securities of the Initial Requesting Holder included in such Registration Demand and (ii) all Registrable Securities that other Stockholders elect to include in such Registration Statement, pursuant to one or more timely submitted Registration Requests. Thereafter, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, in accordance with Section 3.5, to effect the registration of the offering of such Registrable Securities under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, for disposition in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition stated in the underlying Registration Demand. Subject to Section 3.1(j), the Company may include in such Registration Statement such number of Registrable Securities as the Company proposes to offer and sell for its own account or the account of any other Person.

(b) Limitation on Demand Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.1, no 5% Stockholder may make a Registration Demand until the earliest to occur of (i) the six-month anniversary of the Company’s Public Listing and (ii) the date on which the Board approves the making of a Registration Demand pursuant to this Section 3.1, provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a 5% Stockholder may only make a Registration Demand pursuant to Section 3.1(c) if the Company is preparing or has a Shelf Registration Statement on file with the SEC in accordance with Section 3.1(d).

(c) Form S-1 Registration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article III, any 5% Stockholder, shall have the right to submit a Registration Demand to effect the registration on Form S-1 (or any successor form) of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities held by such Stockholders; provided, that the 5% Stockholders, shall, collectively, be limited to three such Registration Demands. Any registration pursuant to such a Registration Demand may, if so requested in the underlying Registration Demand, be a “shelf” registration for an offering of Registrable Securities on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule that is subsequently adopted by the SEC). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.1(c) if the Company is preparing or has a Shelf Registration Statement on file with the SEC in accordance with Section 3.1(d).

(d) Registration; Shelf Registration.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article III, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 (or any successor form) as a “shelf” registration on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule that is subsequently adopted by the SEC) for the registration of all the Registrable Securities of the Stockholders for resale (a "Shelf Registration Statement"), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after filing. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until such date on which all Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or another Registration Statement is filed under the Securities Act.

(ii) Further, upon the Company becoming a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, (i) the Company shall give written notice to all of the 5% Stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable, and such notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the basis on which the Company has become a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, and (ii) the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, register, under an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the sale of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 90 days after it becomes a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, and take commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective thereafter (subject to applicable securities laws). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an effective Shelf Registration Statement or Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is not on file, each 5% Shareholder shall have the right, subject to terms and conditions of this Article III, to submit a Registration Demand pursuant to Section 3.1(c) or a Registration Demand for the Company to file a Shelf Registration.

(e) Delay for Disadvantageous Condition. If, in connection with any requested or ongoing registration pursuant to a Registration Demand and in addition to any limitations set forth in Section 3.1(f), the Company provides a certificate to the Requesting Holders, signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its Stockholders for such Registration Statement either to become effective or to remain effective for as long as such Registration Statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, or if the Company is prohibited by the terms of any applicable underwriting or securities purchase agreement, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such Registration Statement and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate number of days in all such delay periods in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months shall not exceed one hundred and thirty five (135) days and (ii) at least thirty (30) days shall elapse between the termination of any delay period and the commencement of the immediately succeeding delay period.

(f) Limitation on Successive Registrations and Underwritten Offerings. The Company shall not be required to effect a registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.1(c) or Section 3.1(d) for a period of ninety (90) days immediately following the effective date of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 3.1 and in no event shall the Company be required to file more than three (3) Registration Statements pursuant to Section 3.1(d) during any 12 month period. Without limiting the foregoing, in addition, in no event shall the Company have the obligation to effect more than three (3) underwritten offerings pursuant to this Section 3.1, and, provided, further, the Company shall not be required to effect an underwritten offering if the Company determines in good faith with the consent a majority of the Board that pursuing an underwritten offering is not in the best interests of the Company.

(g) Demand Withdrawal. With respect to any registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.1, (i) the Initial Requesting Holder who submitted the underlying Registration Demand may withdraw such Registration Demand and (ii) any Requesting Holder may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such registration, in either case by providing written notice to the Company at any time (x) in the case of an underwritten offering, prior to the filing of the preliminary prospectus pursuant to such registration, and (y) in the case of non-underwritten offering, prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such Registration Demand. If all of the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration pursuant to any Registration Demand are so withdrawn, then such Registration Demand shall be deemed withdrawn. In the event of any such actual or deemed withdrawal of a Registration Demand, the Company shall cease all efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, without liability to any Requesting Holder. Such registration will be deemed to have been effected (including for purposes of Section 3.1(c) and Section 3.1(d), with respect to a Registration Demand made thereunder) unless (A) each Requesting Holder who has withdrawn its Registration Demand or has withdrawn all of its Registrable Securities from such registration has paid (or reimbursed the Company for), pursuant to Section 3.4, its pro rata share (based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Registrable Securities that such Requesting Holder asked to be included in such withdrawn registration and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that all Requesting Holders, collectively, requested to be included in such withdrawn registration) of the Registration Expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such withdrawn registration; provided, that if any revocation was based on the Company’s failure to comply in any material respect with its obligations hereunder, such reimbursement of Registration Expenses shall not be required or (B) the withdrawal is made following the occurrence of a material adverse change in the business or financial condition of the Company that is made known to the Initial Requesting Holder after the date of the applicable Registration Demand, or (C) if the registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason other than a misrepresentation or omission by any Requesting Holder; provided, that if any such stop order, injunction, order or requirement is issued or imposed as a result of any misrepresentation or omission by any Requesting Holder(s), the Responsible Requesting Holder(s) shall be solely responsible for paying (or reimbursing the Company for) all of the Registration Expenses to be paid or reimbursed to the Company pursuant to Section 3.4.

(h) Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 3.1(g), a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall not be deemed to have been requested or effected (including for purposes of Section 3.1(c) and Section 3.1(d), with respect to a Registration Demand made thereunder) unless it has been declared effective by the SEC and shall have remained effective for 180 days (excluding any periods of time during which such Registration Statement is tolled or suspended pursuant to Section 3.1(e) or Section 3.6(c)) or such shorter period as may be required to sell all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement; provided, that in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 180-day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the Registration Statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold. In no event shall a registration be deemed to have been effected if (i) after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court, for any reason other than a misrepresentation or an omission by any Requesting Holder and, as a result thereof, the Registrable Securities requested to be registered therein cannot be completely distributed in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or (ii) the conditions to closing the sale of Registrable Securities specified in any purchase agreement or Underwriting Agreement, which agreement was entered into in connection with such registration for the purpose of distributing Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in the applicable Registration Statement, are not satisfied or waived other than solely by reason of some act or omission by any Requesting Holder.

(i) Selection of Underwriters. Subject to Section 3.1(f), any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.1 may, if so requested in the underlying Registration Demand by the 5% Stockholder, be effected as an underwritten offering, and in such event the Company shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters for the offering; provided, that such underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Holder(s).

(j) Priority. If a registration under this Section 3.1 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter(s) in its good faith judgment advises the Company that the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Registration Statement by the Requesting Holders exceeds the number of securities that can be sold without adversely affecting the price, timing, distribution or sale of securities in the offering (the “Underwriter’s Maximum Number”), the Company shall be required to include in such Registration Statement only such number of securities as is equal to the Underwriter’s Maximum Number and the Company and the Requesting Holders shall participate in such offering in the following order of priority:

(i) First, the Company shall be obligated and required to include in the Registration Statement the number of Registrable Securities that the Requesting Holder(s) have requested to be included in the Registration Statement and that does not exceed the Underwriter’s Maximum Number; provided, that if there are multiple Requesting Holders, the Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement shall be allocated among all such Requesting Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of Registrable Securities held by them on the date of the underlying Registration Demand. If any Requesting Holder would thus be entitled to include more Registrable Securities than it requested to be registered, the excess shall be allocated among other Requesting Holders pro rata in the manner described in the preceding sentence.

(ii) Second, the Company shall be entitled to include in such Registration Statement such number of Registrable Securities as the Company proposes to offer and sell for its own account or the account of any other Person to the full extent of the remaining portion of the Underwriter’s Maximum Number.

Section 3.2 Piggyback Registration.

(a) Notice of Registrations. In the event that the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement with respect to Registrable Securities (other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with the Company’s initial Public Offering, (ii) filed pursuant to Section 3.1, or (iii) filed solely in connection with a dividend reinvestment plan or an employee benefit plan covering only officers or directors of the Company or its Affiliates), whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company shall provide each Stockholder with written notice of its intention to do so (a “Piggyback Registration Notice”) at least thirty (30) days prior to filing such Registration Statement. Any Stockholder may elect to include Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by it in the Registration Statement to which a Piggyback Registration Notice relates, by submitting a written request (a “Piggyback Registration Request”) to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the date of such Piggyback Registration Notice, specifying the number of Registrable Securities that such Stockholder intends to dispose of pursuant to such Registration Statement, and the intended method of disposition thereof. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that Stockholders have requested, pursuant to timely submitted Piggyback Registration Requests, to be included in the Registration Statement to which the underlying Piggyback Registration Notice relates.

(b) Withdrawal of Registration. If, at any time after the Company provides a Piggyback Registration Notice and prior to the effective date of any Registration Statement filed in connection therewith, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register the Registrable Securities to which such Piggyback Registration Notice relates, the Company may, in its sole discretion, give the Requesting Holders written notice of such determination and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities that the Requesting Holders requested to be registered pursuant to a Piggyback Registration Request delivered in response to such Piggyback Registration Notice. Each Stockholder shall be permitted to withdraw all or any portion of the Registrable Securities of such Stockholder from a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effective date of such Piggyback Registration.

(c) Priority. If a registration under this Section 3.2 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter(s) in its good faith judgment advises the Company that the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Registration Statement by the Requesting Holders exceeds the Underwriter’s Maximum Number, the Company shall be required to include in such Registration Statement only such number of Registrable Securities as is equal to the Underwriter’s Maximum Number and the Company and the Requesting Holders shall participate in such offering in the following order of priority:

(i) First, the Company shall be entitled to include in such Registration Statement the Registrable Securities that the Company proposes to offer and sell for its own account in such registration and that does not exceed the Underwriter’s Maximum Number.

(ii) Second, the Company shall be obligated and required to include in such Registration Statement that number of Registrable Securities that the Requesting Holders have, collectively, requested to be included in such offering, to the full extent of the remaining portion of the Underwriter’s Maximum Number; provided, that if such number of Registrable Securities exceeds the remaining portion of the Underwriter’s Maximum Number, the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering shall be allocated among all of the Requesting Holders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of Registrable Securities held by them on the date of the underlying Piggyback Registration Notice. If any Requesting Holder would thus be entitled to include more Registrable Securities than it requested to be registered, the excess shall be allocated among other Requesting Holders pro rata in the manner described in the preceding sentence.

(iii) Third, the Company shall be entitled to include in such Registration Statement that number of Registrable Securities that the Company proposes to offer and sell for the account of any other Person, to the full extent of any remaining portion of the Underwriter’s Maximum Number.

(d) Not a Demand Registration. No registration of Registrable Securities effected under this Section 3.2 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.1.

Section 3.3 Certain Information. In connection with any request for registration pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, each Selling Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities as the Company shall reasonably request, to the extent required to complete the filing of such Registration Statement in accordance with applicable law (including the Securities Act and any state securities or “blue sky” laws).

Section 3.4 Expenses. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, if the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses with respect to such registration; provided, that each Selling Holder shall bear its pro rata share, on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities sold in such registration, of all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes, and each such Selling Holder shall be responsible for any fees and expenses of any persons retained by such Selling Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any registration of Registrable Securities, as applicable, requested pursuant to Section 3.1 is withdrawn or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.1(g) and the Initial Requesting Holder(s) elects not to have such withdrawn registration counted as a registration under Section 3.1, the Initial Requesting Holder(s) and each Requesting Holder withdrawing all of its Registrable Securities shall pay (or reimburse the Company for) its pro rata share (in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities that it asked to be included in such withdrawn registration) of the Registration Expenses incurred by the Company with respect to such withdrawn registration. The immediately preceding sentence shall not apply if such registration is withdrawn (i) as a result of information concerning the occurrence of a material adverse change in the business or financial condition of the Company that is made known to the Requesting Holders after the date on which such registration was requested, (ii) if the revocation of such Selling Holder’s request for registration is based on the Company’s failure to comply in any material respect with its obligations hereunder or (iii) if the registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason other than a misrepresentation or omission by any Requesting Holder; provided, that if any such stop order, injunction, order or requirement is issued or imposed as a result of any misrepresentation or omission by any Requesting Holder(s), such Requesting Holder(s) (each, a “Responsible Requesting Holder”) shall be solely responsible for paying (or reimbursing the Company for) all of the Registration Expenses incurred by the Company with respect to such withdrawn registration; provided, further, that if more than one Responsible Requesting Holder is responsible for such payment or reimbursement of Registration Expenses, then each such Responsible Requesting Holder shall be responsible for its pro rata share of such Registration Expenses (for each Responsible Requesting Holder based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Registrable Securities that such Responsible Requesting Holder asked to be included in such withdrawn registration and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that all Responsible Requesting Holder, collectively, asked to be included in such withdrawn registration).

Section 3.5 Registration and Qualification.

(a) In the event that the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities as applicable, pursuant to this Article III, the Company shall:

(i) use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable, prepare, file and cause to become effective and remain effective a Registration Statement relating to such Registrable Securities;

(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement for such Registrable Securities and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all such Registrable Securities until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of; provided, that the Company shall, as far in advance as practicable but at least five (5) Business Days prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), furnish to each Selling Holder, for their review, copies of such Registration Statement or prospectus (or amendment or supplement) as proposed to be filed (including, upon the request of such Selling Holder, documents to be incorporated by reference therein); provided, further, that each Selling Holder may request reasonable changes to such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement (as the case may be) and the Company shall be required to comply therewith to the extent necessary to lawfully complete such filing or maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement;

(iii) furnish to each Selling Holder and each underwriter of such Registrable Securities such number of conformed copies of such Registration Statement and each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, such documents as are incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement or prospectus (including any amendments or supplements thereto), and such other documents as such Selling Holder or underwriter may reasonably request;

(iv) promptly notify each Selling Holder in writing of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC with respect thereto, use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry of any such stop order that is threatened and promptly remove any such stop order that has been entered, and promptly notify each Selling Holder of such lifting or withdrawal of any such stop order;

(v) use its reasonable best efforts to (x) register or qualify all Registrable Securities, as applicable, covered by such Registration Statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by any Selling Holder or underwriter of such Registrable Securities and promptly notify the Selling Holders of the receipt of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of Registrable Securities for sale or offer in any such jurisdiction and (y) obtain all appropriate registrations, permits and consents in connection with such registrations and qualifications, and do any and all other acts and things (including using reasonable best efforts to promptly remove any such suspension) necessary or advisable to enable the Selling Holders and underwriters to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any such jurisdiction where it is not so qualified, to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or to amend its Governing Documents;

(vi) in an underwritten offering, use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to each underwriter of such Registrable Securities (x) an opinion letter and negative assurance letter of counsel to the Company addressed to each such underwriter and dated the date of the closing under the Underwriting Agreement and (y) “cold comfort” letters dated the effective date of the Registration Statement (and brought down to the date of closing under the Underwriting Agreement) addressed to each underwriter and signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements included in such Registration Statement, in each such case covering substantially the same matters as are customarily covered in such opinions and cold comfort letters in connection with underwritten public offerings of securities;

(vii) not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, (x) retain a transfer agent and registrar (if the Company does not already have one), (y) obtain a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and (z) provide the applicable transfer agent with printed certificates for the Registrable Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company or other applicable clearing agency;

(viii) in the case of an underwritten offering of such Registrable Securities cause its senior executive officers to participate in such customary “road show” presentations as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter, and to otherwise facilitate, cooperate with, and participate in each proposed offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article III and customary selling efforts related thereto; and

(ix) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable securities laws, including the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and state securities and “blue sky” laws.

(b) In the event that the Company delivers a prospectus covering Registrable Securities to the Selling Holders and such prospectus is subsequently amended to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly notify each Selling Holder and may, in its discretion, request that the Selling Holders cease making offers of Registrable Securities and return to the Company all prospectuses in their possession. In the event that the Company makes such a request each Selling Holder shall immediately cease making such offers and shall promptly return all such prospectuses. The Company shall promptly provide the Selling Holders with revised prospectuses and each Selling Holder shall be free, following its receipt of such revised prospectuses, to resume making offers of the Registrable Securities or shares of Common Stock, as applicable.

(c) In the event that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it is advisable to suspend use of a prospectus included in a Registration Statement due to pending material developments or other events that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the Company believes public disclosure would be detrimental to the Company, the Company shall direct the Selling Holders to discontinue sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such prospectus, and each Selling Holder shall immediately so discontinue, until such Selling Holder has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus or until such Selling Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the then-current prospectus may be used and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such prospectus. The Company shall promptly furnish to each Selling Holder copies of any such supplemented or amended prospectuses or additional or supplemental filings, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not exercise its rights under this Section 3.5(c) to suspend sales of Registrable Securities for a period in excess of one hundred and thirty five (135) days during any period of three hundred sixty five (365) consecutive days.

Section 3.6 Underwriting; Due Diligence. In the event of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration requested under this Article III, the Company shall, if requested by the underwriters for such offering, enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters (an “Underwriting Agreement”). Any such Underwriting Agreement shall contain such representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, and shall include indemnification and contribution provisions substantially to the effect and extent of those set forth in Section 3.7, and agreements as to the provision of opinions of counsel and accountants’ letters substantially to the effect and extent of those set forth in Section 3.5(a)(vi). The Selling Holders on whose behalf such Registrable Securities are to be distributed by the underwriters shall enter into such Underwriting Agreement, which shall also contain such representations, warranties and indemnities by the Selling Holders as are customarily provided by selling stockholders in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions. With respect to any Underwriting Agreement: (i) all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the underwriters thereunder shall be conditions precedent to the obligations of the Selling Holders and (ii) no Selling Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or the underwriters, other than customary representations, warranties or agreements generally made by selling stockholders in similar offerings.

Section 3.7 Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company’s Indemnification Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees, stockholders, agents, advisors, investment managers and any Person who “controls” such Selling Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including any legal or other costs, fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim (collectively, “Losses”) insofar as such Losses are caused by (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or amendment thereto, any free writing prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or prospectus (as amended or supplemented) relating to the Registrable Securities, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Company of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action required of or inaction by the Company in connection with such registration, except insofar as such Losses (x) relate to a transaction or sale made by a Selling Holder in violation of Section 3.5(c) or (y) are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is based upon and in conformity with information relating to a Selling Holder which is furnished to the Company in writing by such Selling Holder expressly for use therein; provided, that clause (y) shall not apply to the extent that the Selling Holder has furnished in writing to the Company prior to the filing of such Registration Statement, free writing prospectus, preliminary prospectus, prospectus, amendment or supplement information expressly for use in such document which information corrected or made not misleading the information previously furnished to the Company by such Selling Holder, and the Company failed to include such information therein.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, all Affiliates of the Company, each of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees, stockholders, agents and advisors and each Person, if any, who “controls” (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) the Company, from and against any and all Losses insofar as such Losses are caused by (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or amendment thereto, any free writing prospectus, preliminary prospectus or prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) relating to the Registrable Securities, or (ii) caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only with reference to information relating to such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement, free writing prospectus, preliminary prospectus, prospectus, amendments or supplement; provided, that such Selling Holder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that it has furnished in writing to the Company prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement, free writing prospectus, preliminary prospectus, prospectus, amendment or supplement information expressly for use in such document which information corrected or made not misleading the information previously furnished to the Company by such Selling Holder, and the Company failed to include such information therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.7, each Selling Holder’s indemnification obligations under this paragraph are several, and not joint and several, and shall not exceed, with respect to any given registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article III, the amount of net proceeds received by such Selling Holder in connection with the offering of its Registrable Securities under such registration.

(c) Each party that is entitled to indemnification under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 3.7 shall, promptly after receipt of notice of a claim or action against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or action and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, that the failure of any indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such action, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the sole expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, in which case the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the sole expense of the indemnifying party; provided, that in the event that the Company, as indemnifying party, is required to pay expenses of separate legal counsel for any one or more Selling Holders as indemnified party, a single counsel shall be designated in writing to the Company by the Selling Holder with the largest number of Registrable Securities included in such registration. All such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless such indemnified parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened claim or action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such proceeding and imposes no obligations on such indemnified party other than the payment of monetary damages (which damages will be paid by the indemnifying party hereunder).

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.7 shall for any reason be unavailable (other than in accordance with its terms) to an indemnified party in respect of any Loss referred to therein, then the indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, (i) each Selling Holder’s contribution obligations under this paragraph are several, and not joint and several, and (ii) no indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission. The parties to this Agreement agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in Section 3.7(c). No Person who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) that results in a Loss shall be entitled to contribution with respect to such Loss from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Indemnification and contribution similar to that specified in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 3.7 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company, the Selling Holders and the underwriters with respect to any required registration or other qualification of Registrable Securities under any state law or regulation or governmental authority.

(f) The obligations of the parties under this Section 3.7 shall be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party. If indemnification is available under this Section 3.7, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and as provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) hereof without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying parties or indemnified party.

(g) The rights and obligations of the Company and the Selling Holders under this Section 3.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.8 Rule 144 Information. The Company hereby covenants and agrees it shall (a) file such periodic reports as it is required to file under the Exchange Act, and other applicable laws or rules, and thereafter shall timely file such information, documents and reports as may be required or prescribed under Section 13 or 15(d) (whichever is applicable) of the Exchange Act. If the Company is not required to file such reports during any period, it will upon the reasonable request of any Stockholder make publicly available such information for so long as is necessary to permit such Stockholder to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act, (b) take such further action as any Stockholder may reasonably request, to the extent from time to time such action is necessary to permit such Stockholder to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S of the Securities Act, including without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Section 3.9 Grant of Additional Registration Rights. Except for the registration rights granted pursuant to this Article III, the Company shall not grant any registration rights with respect to shares of Common Stock to any other Person without the prior written consent of the majority of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock held by the Stockholder Groups unless such registration rights so granted do not materially affect the rights of the Stockholder Groups under this Agreement with respect to their priority in any Public Offering.

Section 3.10 Holdback Agreement. The Company and each 5% Stockholder (whether or not such Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2) agree, if requested (pursuant to a timely written notice) by the lead or managing underwriter or underwriters in an underwritten offering, not to effect any public sale or distribution of any of the Registrable Securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (except as part of such underwritten offering), for a customary period (which period shall be the same for all applicable Stockholders and shall not be longer than one hundred and eighty (180) days in the case of the Company’s first Public Offering and ninety (90) days in the case of any other Public Offering, except to the extent required by FINRA regulations or applicable law), as reasonably determined by the lead or managing underwriter or underwriters in consultation with the Stockholders, after the closing date of the underwritten offering made pursuant to such Registration Statement; provided, that no 5% Stockholder shall be subject to any such restrictions unless (a) all such restrictions shall have been requested of, and shall be applicable to, all 5% Stockholders and (b) such underwriter(s) shall have obtained written holdback agreements from the Company, each executive officer of the Company and each other person who has been granted registration rights by the Company. No waiver of any such restrictions shall be effective with respect to any Stockholder unless such waiver applies uniformly to all such Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.10, all obligations of the Stockholders under this Section 3.10 shall terminate in the event that the Company or any underwriter terminates, releases or waives, in whole or in part, the holdback agreements with respect to the Company, any executive officer of the Company or any such other Person who has been granted registration rights by the Company, unless such termination, release or waiver also applies proportionally (based on their respective ownership of Registrable Securities relative to the number of Registrable Securities held by such executive officer or other Person) to each Stockholder.

Section 3.11 Termination. All of the Company’s obligations to register Registrable Securities under Section 3.1 and 3.3 shall terminate on the date on which the Stockholders cease to Beneficially Own any Registrable Securities.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each of the parties hereto hereby represents and warrants, solely with respect to itself (and, in each case to the extent applicable in the case of parties who are natural persons), to each other party that:

Section 4.1 Existence; Authority; Enforceability. Such party has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder. Such party is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and the execution of this Agreement, and the performance of its obligations hereunder, have been authorized, and no other act or proceeding on its part is necessary to authorize the execution of this Agreement or the performance of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as the same may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws, or by legal or equitable principles relating to or limiting the rights of contracting parties generally.

Section 4.2 Absence of Conflicts. The execution and delivery by such party of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder does not (a) conflict with, or result in the breach of any provision of the constitutive documents of such party; (b) result in any violation, breach, conflict, default or event of default (or an event which with notice, lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default or event of default), or give rise to any right of acceleration or termination or any additional payment obligation, under the terms of any contract, agreement or permit to which such party is a party or by which such Party’s assets or operations are bound or affected; or (c) violate any law applicable to such party, except, in the case of clause (b), as would not have a material adverse effect on such party’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

Section 4.3 Consents. Other than as has already been obtained, no consent, waiver, approval, authorization, exemption, registration, license or declaration is required to be made or obtained by such party in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, except in each case, as would not have a material adverse effect on such party’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE V

GENERAL

Section 5.1 Assignment. The rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, any party hereto, without the consent of any other party, may assign, in whole or in part, any of its rights hereunder to any Person who is an Affiliate of such party, if such assignee contemporaneously enters into a Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex A. Any attempted assignment of rights or obligations in violation of this Section 5.1 shall be null and void.

Section 5.2 Term and Effectiveness.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Listing. This Agreement shall automatically terminate if the Public Listing is not consummated on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date of this Agreement.

(b) Article II shall terminate as to any Nominating Stockholder Group when such Nominating Stockholder Group no longer Beneficially Owns at least 10% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(c) Subject to Section 5.2(b), this Agreement (other than this Article V) shall terminate with respect to any Stockholder on the date such Stockholder no longer holds Registrable Securities.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Article V shall survive any termination of any provisions of this Agreement.

(e) The termination of any provision of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liability for the breach of its obligations under this Agreement prior to such termination.

Section 5.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 5.4 Entire Agreement; Amendment.

(a) This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, including the Original Agreement, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement or any provision thereof may only be amended, modified or supplemented, and no provision in this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, by an instrument in writing signed by the Stockholders holding a majority of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided, however that (i) Article II may only be amended, modified, supplemented or waived with the consent of each Nominating Stockholder Group for so long as the Aggregate Ownership of such Nominating Stockholder Group constitutes at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (ii) the consent of a Stockholder will be required to effect any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver to the Agreement that would reasonably be expected to disproportionately affect such Stockholder that is material and adverse to such Stockholder as compared to any other Stockholder.

(b) No waiver of any breach of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless such waiver is expressly made in writing and executed and delivered by the party against whom such waiver is claimed. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
