Upon the written request of any Holder given within seven (7) days after receipt of any such notice, the Company shall include in such registration or Shelf Takedown all of the Registrable Securities indicated in such request, so as to permit the disposition of the shares so registered; provided that no Holder who is subject to a lockup with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall have any right to have such Registrable Securities participate in such registration or offering except to the extent such lockup has expired or been waived.

Any Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.2 by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

2.3 Demand Registration. At any time following the Closing and expiration or waiver of any lockup applicable to such Holders party hereto, the Initiating Holders may request in writing that all or part of the Registrable Securities held by them shall be registered under the Securities Act (a “Demand Registration”). Within ten (10) days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of such request to the other Holders and shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities held by all such Holders who wish to participate in such demand registration and provide the Company with written requests for inclusion therein within seven (7) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice; provided that no Holder who is subject to a lockup with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall have any right to have such Registrable Securities participate in such registration or offering except to the extent such lockup has expired or been waived. Thereupon, the Company shall effect the registration of all Registrable Securities as to which it has received requests for registration as soon as practicable; provided that (i) the Company shall not be required to effect any registration under this Section 2.2 (x) within a period of ninety (90) days following the effective date of a previous registration and (y) with respect to Registrable Securities with a total offering price not reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $50 million, and (ii) this provision shall not apply if a shelf registration on Form F-3 has been filed pursuant to Section 2.5 and is effective and available for use. The Company shall not be required to effect more than (A) two (2) registration under this Section 2.3 requested by the Sponsor and (B) three (3) registrations under this Section 2.2 requested by the Major Shareholder Initiating Holders. If the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for a registration under this Section 2.2 to be effected at such time, the Company shall have the right to defer such registration for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders under this Section 2.2, provided that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period. The Initiating Holders may elect to withdraw from any offering pursuant to this Section 2.3 by giving written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s) of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the SEC with respect to such Demand Registration. If the Initiating Holders withdraw from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration then either the Initiating Holders shall reimburse the Company for the costs associated with the withdrawn Demand Registration (in which case such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in this Section 2.3) or such withdrawn registration shall count as a Demand Registration provided for in this Section 2.3.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the managing underwriter advises the Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the dollar amount or the number of shares to be underwritten, then the amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered shall be reduced pro rata to the respective number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders; provided that in any event all Registrable Securities held by the Initiating Holders and any other Holders that elect to participate in any such registration must be included in such registration (pro rata based on the total amount of Registrable Securities held by each such Initiating Holder or other Holder, as applicable) prior to any other shares of the Company, including shares held by persons other than Holders. The Company shall not register securities for sale for its own account in any registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.2 unless permitted to do so by the written consent of the Initiating Holders.

2.4 F-1 Registration Statement. If the SEC publicly announces or informs the Company that Rule 144(i) applies to the Company or the Company determines that it is reasonably likely that Rule 144(i) applies to the Company, the following provision shall apply. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after such notice from the SEC or such determination that Rule 144(i) is reasonably likely to apply to the Company, but in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter, file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act to permit the public resale of all the Registrable Securities held by any Holder from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the SEC then in effect) on the terms and conditions specified in this Section 2.4 and shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as expeditiously as possible after the filing thereof. The Registration Statement filed with the SEC pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be on Form F-1, with respect to such Registrable Securities (the “Shelf”), and shall contain a prospectus in such form as to permit (subject to the Lock-up) the Holders to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the SEC then in effect), or such other means of distribution of Registrable Securities as the Holders may reasonably specify, at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification, compliance or offering, pursuant to this Section 2.4, if (i) the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for such Form F-1 registration statement or any Shelf Takedown pursuant thereto to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form F-1 registration statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days; provided that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period or (ii) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date six (6) months immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing good faith reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and that the Company’s estimate of the date of filing such registration statement is made in good faith. The Company shall maintain the Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities included on such registration statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form F-1 to a Form F-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form F-3. A Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder. Subject to the second succeeding sentence, as soon as practicable following the effective date of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.4, but in any event within three (3) Business Days of such date, the Company shall notify the Holders of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Holders may use such Form F-1 to dispose of their Registrable Securities on a non-underwritten basis, and may utilize such Form F-1 on an underwritten basis if requested by Initiating Holders (with any such request being deemed to be a demand pursuant to Section 2.2 and subject to the limits and rules set forth therein, mutatis mutandis). If requested by any Holder, the Company shall promptly file with the SEC such post-effective amendments or supplements to any such Form F-1 as may be necessary to name such Holder therein as a selling shareholder and otherwise permit such Holder to sell Registrable Securities thereunder. References to Form F-1 herein (or any “long-form” successor thereto) shall include references to Form S-1 (or any “long-form” successor thereto) if the Company ceases to be eligible to use Form F-1.

2.5 Form F-3 Registration. In the event that the Company shall receive from any Major Shareholder or the Sponsor a written request or requests that the Company effect a shelf registration on Form F-3 with respect to Registrable Securities (if no Form F-3 is then on file and available for use by the Holders), the Company will within ten (10) days after receipt of any such request give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders, and include in such registration all Registrable Securities held by all such Holders who wish to participate in such registration and provide the Company with written requests for inclusion therein within seven (7) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice; provided that no Holder who is subject to a lockup with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall have any right to have such Registrable Securities participate in such registration or offering except to the extent such lockup has expired or been waived. Thereupon, the Company shall effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be reasonably so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s or Major Shareholder’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within seven (7) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification, compliance or offering, pursuant to this Section 2.5, (i) if Form F-3 is not available for such registration or offering; (ii) if the Company shall furnish to the requesting Major Shareholder a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for such Form F-3 registration statement or Shelf Takedown pursuant thereto to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form F-3 registration statement or Shelf Takedown for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Major Shareholder under this Section 2.5; provided that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; or (iii) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date six (6) months immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing good faith reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and that the Company’s estimate of the date of filing such registration statement is made in good faith. The Holders may use such Form F-3 to dispose of their Registrable Securities on a non-underwritten basis, and may utilize such Form F-3 on an underwritten basis if requested by Initiating Holders (with any such request being deemed to be a demand pursuant to Section 2.2 and subject to the limits and rules set forth therein, mutatis mutandis). If requested by any Holder or Major Shareholder, the Company shall promptly file with the SEC such post-effective amendments or supplements to any such Form F-3 as may be necessary to name such Holder or Major Shareholder therein as a selling shareholder and otherwise permit such Holder or Major Shareholder to sell Registrable Securities thereunder. References to Form F-3 herein (or any “short-form” successor thereto) shall include references to Form S-3 (or any “short-form” successor thereto) if the Company ceases to be eligible to use Form F-3.

2.8.1 The Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, any underwriter of such Holder, each person, if any, who controls the Holder or such underwriter and each of the foregoing person’s respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members, attorneys, advisors, agents or other representatives (a “Holder Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, joint or several, costs and expenses (including any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the Company’s consent) to which any such Holder Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages, claims, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), costs or expenses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or included in the prospectus, as amended or supplemented (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading and the Company will reimburse such Holder Indemnified Party promptly upon demand, for any reasonable documented, out-of-pocket legal or any other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding or (iii) any violation of alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that the Company will not be liable to any Holder Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent that any such loss, damage, liability, cost or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Holder Indemnified Party claiming for indemnification in writing specifically for inclusion therein; provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.8.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder Indemnified Party and regardless of any sale in connection with such offering by the Holder Indemnified Party. Such indemnity shall survive the transfer of securities by a selling shareholder.

2.8.2 Each Holder participating in a registration hereunder will furnish to the Company in writing any information regarding such Holder and his or her intended method of distribution of Registrable Securities as the Company may reasonably request and will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any underwriter for the Company, any other person participating in the distribution, each person, if any, who controls the Company, such underwriter or such other person and each of the foregoing person’s respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members, attorneys, advisors, agents or other representatives (a “Company Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses (including any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the selling shareholder’s consent) to which any such Company Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages, claims, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), costs or expenses arise out of or are based on (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or included in the prospectus, as amended or supplemented, or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, but, in each case, only to the extent of such information relating to such Holder and provided in writing by such Holder, and each such Holder will reimburse such Company Indemnified Party promptly upon demand, for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in strict conformity with written information furnished by such Holder specifically for inclusion therein. The foregoing indemnity agreement shall be individual and several by each Holder. The indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.8.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holders, as the case may be, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In no event shall the liability of a Holder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

2.8.3 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.8.1 or 2.8.2 of notice of the commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions, such indemnified party will, if a claim thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of said Section 2.8.1 or 2.8.2, promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than hereunder. In case such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that if the defendants in any action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party reasonably believes that there is a conflict of interests which would prevent counsel for the indemnifying party from also representing the indemnified party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select one separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of said Sections 2.8.1 or 2.8.2 for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in accordance with the provision of the preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after the notice of the commencement of the action and within fifteen (15) days after written notice of the indemnified party’s intention to employ separate counsel pursuant to the previous sentence, or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement if such settlement or judgment requires an admission of fault or culpability on the part of the indemnified party or does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

2.8.4 If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions, for any reason other than as specified therein, the parties entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall be entitled to contribution to liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, there shall be considered the parties’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. In no event shall the liability of a Holder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

2.8.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8 from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

2.9 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:

2.9.1 prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of up to twelve (12) months or, if sooner, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed, and, in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form F-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such twelve (12) month period shall be extended for up to three (3) years, if necessary, to keep the Registration Statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold.

2.9.2 subject to the suspension rights set forth in Section 2.2 and 2.5, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement.

2.9.3 use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and any amendments or supplements to such a prospectus, without charge to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration and in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

2.9.4 in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

2.9.5 notify each holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event within three (3) Business Days, of: (i) such Registration Statement becoming effective; (ii) such time as any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the SEC of any stop order; and (iv) any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

2.9.6 cause all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 to be listed on each securities exchange on which Shares are then listed.

2.9.7 provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

2.9.8 furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 at such Holder’s expense, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.2, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.

2.9.9 in the case of an underwritten offering involving gross proceeds in excess of $50 million, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the underwriter.

2.9.10 the Company shall enter into customary agreements and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

2.10 Obligations of the Holders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Holder may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company (in the case of a piggyback offering) or the Initiating Holders (in the case of a demand registration offering) and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and the provisions of this Agreement in respect of registration rights.

2.11 Assignment of Registration Rights. Other than as set forth in Section 2.12 or Section 4, any of the Major Shareholders may assign and/or transfer its rights, wholly or partially, to cause the Company to register Shares pursuant to this Section 2 to a transferee of all or any part of its Registrable Securities. In addition, any Holder may transfer and/or assign his right, wholly or partially, to transferees of Shares that are Registrable Securities of the Company. The transferor shall, within twenty (20) days after such transfer, furnish the Company with written notice of the name and address of such transferee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned, and the transferee shall execute a Joinder Agreement as required by Section 5.4 below.

2.12 Market Stand-off. All Holders participating in an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement agree that any Registrable Securities owned by them may be subject to a customary “lock-up” restricting sales, pledges or other dispositions for up to ninety (90) days from the date of the final prospectus used in connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2 above by the Company in which the Company complied with Section 2.2, and each such Holder hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Company and each of its officers, acting alone, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, its true and lawful attorney, for it and in its name, place and stead and for its use and benefit, to enter into and execute customary “lock-up” agreements with respect to all Shares or securities convertible into, or exercisable for, Shares (with such officers being empowered to determine the customary nature of such lockup), as applicable, (held immediately prior to the launch of such offering) and such Holder shall thereby be required to abide by such “lock-up” period of up to ninety (90) days as is required by the managing underwriter(s) in such registration; provided that such obligation shall only apply where all officers and directors are similarly bound. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1.12 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement in connection with such offering or any shares of the Company acquired in such offering or acquired in open market transactions after such offering.

2.13 Public Information. The Company shall make publicly available such information as is necessary to enable the Holders to make sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 to the extent such rule is available to Holders at such time. Without limiting the foregoing, in order to enable the Shareholders to sell the Shares under Rule 144, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act.

2.14 Form F-3 Eligibility. The Company shall, after becoming eligible to use Form F-3, use its reasonable best efforts to remain so eligible (it being understood that the Company will not be required to issue additional capital stock to maintain a minimum public float).

2.15 Removal of Legends. Upon Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of any Registrable Securities, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and expiration of any lock-up agreement applicable to such Shares, the Company shall promptly cause Company counsel to issue to a transfer agent the legal opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, Company counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company. At such time, the Company will no later than five (5) trading days (such fifth (5^th) trading day, the “Legend Removal Date”) deliver or cause to be delivered to such Shareholder a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. Certificates for Shares subject to legend removal hereunder may be transmitted by a transfer agent to the Shareholders by crediting the account of the Shareholder’s prime broker with Depository Trust Company as directed by such Shareholder.

2.15.1 Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions. Following completion of the BOA Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this subsection 2.15.1 (or instructions that are consistent therewith) and instructions related to the lock-up agreement contained herein will be given by the Company to its transfer agent in connection with this Agreement, and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and applicable law. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this subsection 2.15.1 will cause irreparable harm to a Shareholder. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this subsection 2.15.1 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this subsection 2.15.1, that a Shareholder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

2.15.2 Acknowledgement. Each Shareholder hereunder acknowledges its primary responsibilities under the Securities Act and accordingly will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares or any interest therein without complying with the requirements of the Securities Act. Both the Company and its transfer agent, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, may rely on this subsection 2.15.2 and each Shareholder hereunder will indemnify and hold harmless each of such persons from any breaches or violations of this subsection 2.15.2.

3. Sponsor Registration Statement

3.1 With respect to the Sponsor Shares and the Sponsor Warrants (jointly, the “Sponsor Securities”), the following provisions shall apply instead of Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.4 and Section 2.5. The Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company will file with the SEC (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Sponsor Securities (the “Sponsor Registration Statement”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Sponsor Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the sixtieth (60^th) calendar day (or ninetieth (90^th) calendar day if the SEC notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the tenth (10^th) Business Day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Sponsor Securities in the Sponsor Registration Statement are contingent upon the Sponsor furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Sponsor, the securities of the Company held by the Sponsor and the intended method of disposition of the Sponsor Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Sponsor Securities, and the Sponsor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Sponsor Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Sponsor Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Sponsor Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 3.

3.2 The Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Sponsor as to the status of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 3. At its expense the Company shall:

3.2.1 except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of the Sponsor Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Sponsor, and to keep the applicable Sponsor Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) the Sponsor ceases to hold any Sponsor Securities, and (ii) the date all Sponsor Securities held by the Sponsor may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 and 145, including any volume and manner of sale restrictions under Rule 144 and 145 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable);

3.2.2 advise the Sponsor as expeditiously as possible, but in any event within five (5) Business Days:

(a)

when the Sponsor Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(b)

of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Sponsor Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; and

(c)

of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Sponsor Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

3.2.3            use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Sponsor Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

3.2.4            upon the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in the Sponsor Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of the Sponsor Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to the Sponsor Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Sponsor Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

3.2.5            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not have any obligation to prepare any prospectus supplement, participate in any due diligence, execute any agreements or certificates or deliver legal opinions or obtain comfort letters in connection with any sales of the Sponsor Securities under the Sponsor Registration Statement in an underwritten offering.

3.3            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Sponsor Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the Sponsor not to sell under the Sponsor Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Company Board reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel (which may be in-house legal counsel), would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Sponsor Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Sponsor Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company Board, upon the advice of legal counsel (which may be in-house legal counsel), to cause the Sponsor Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Sponsor Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve (12)-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Sponsor Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Sponsor Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Sponsor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Sponsor Securities under the Sponsor Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Sponsor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, the Sponsor will deliver to the Company or, in the Sponsor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Sponsor Securities in the Sponsor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Sponsor Securities shall not apply (i) to the extent the Sponsor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

4.              Lock-Up.

4.1            Lock-up.

4.2.2            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Sponsor and the Company Executives may enter into a written plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (a “Rule 10b5-1 Plan”) after the date of this Agreement relating to the sale of any Sponsor Shares or Sponsor Warrants, or Company Executive Shares, as applicable, provided that the securities subject to such plan may not be transferred until after the expiration of the Sponsor Lock-up Period or Company Executive Lock-up Period, as applicable; provided further, that no filing by the undersigned, the Company or any other person under the Exchange Act or other public announcement in connection with the establishment or existence of such plan shall be required or shall be made voluntarily prior to the expiration of such Sponsor Shares, or Company Executive Shares, as applicable.
