hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the Stockholder from whom the Shares were Transferred. Except in the case of a Permitted Transfer pursuant to clause (ii) above, from and after the date on which a Permitted Transfer becomes effective, any Permitted Transferee of the Shares so Transferred (to the extent not then already a party to this Agreement) shall have the same rights, and shall be bound by the same obligations, under this Agreement as the Stockholder who Transferred such Shares to such Permitted Transferee and shall be deemed for all purposes hereunder (A) an “Advent Stockholder” in the case of a Permitted Transfer from an Advent Stockholder, (B) a “Rollover Stockholder” in the case of a Permitted Transfer from a Rollover Stockholder or (C) an “Other Stockholder” in the case of a Permitted Transfer from an Other Stockholder.

ARTICLE II
COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS
2.1 Take Along.
(a) Take Along Procedure. For so long as the Advent Stockholders collectively own at least fifty percent (50%) of the Shares then issued and outstanding, the Advent Stockholders, acting by Advent Consent, shall be entitled to elect to consummate, or cause the Company to consummate, a Company Sale upon twenty (20) days’ prior written notice by the Advent Stockholders to each other Stockholder, which notice shall set forth the terms and conditions of such proposed Company Sale, including the name of the prospective transferee, the number of Shares and Common Stock Equivalents proposed to be sold by the Advent Stockholders in the Company Sale, the consideration to be received by the Advent Stockholders, whether such consideration is comprised of Consideration Securities and/or cash, and the proposed time and place of closing (such notice being referred to as the “Sale Request”), each other Stockholder (each, a “Seller”), in the event such Company Sale is consummated, shall be obligated to consummate, consent to, and raise no objection to, such proposed Company Sale and take all other actions reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate such proposed Company Sale on the terms proposed by the Advent Stockholder as set forth in the Sale Request; provided, however, that the Advent Stockholders shall only have the rights set forth in this Section 2.1 with respect to such Company Sale in which the Sellers as a group receive in the transaction the following: subject to clause (d) below, the same form of consideration (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not the same governance rights) for Shares, in the same proportion, as the Advent Stockholders or, with the consent of any such Seller, in its sole discretion, a different form of consideration in the transaction valued at the same value per Share as the value per Share received by the Advent Stockholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) if such Company Sale is structured as a merger, consolidation or similar business transaction, each Seller will vote or cause to be voted all Shares that it holds or with respect to which it has the power to direct the voting and which it is entitled to vote on such proposed Company Sale in favor of such proposed Company Sale and will waive all appraisal and dissenters rights, (B) if the Company Sale is structured as a sale or redemption of Shares, each Seller will sell its pro rata portion of Shares being sold in such Company Sale on the same terms and conditions as the Advent Stockholders. A Seller’s pro rata portion, for purposes of this Section 2.1(a), is the product of (I) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of outstanding Shares which such Stockholder then owns, and the denominator of which is the total number of the Shares then actually outstanding and (II) the total number of Shares being sold in such Company Sale. The Advent Stockholders
shall promptly notify the Sellers of any material change in, or the termination or abandonment of, the proposed transaction contemplated in the Sale Request.
(b) Advent Stockholder Proxy; Delivery of Documentation. Each Seller hereby grants a proxy in favor of the Advent Stockholders to vote such Seller’s Shares and/or execute any documentation necessary or reasonably advisable to give effect to this Section 2.1, which proxy shall become effective immediately and without further action by such Seller upon the receipt by the Company or the Advent Stockholders (and delivery to such Seller) of a signed letter of intent or other commitment from a qualified purchaser to pursue a Company Sale based on specific terms and conditions outlined in such letter of intent or other commitment, including, without limitation, a final purchase price or purchase price formula or other definitive consideration; provided, that such proxy shall not permit any Advent Stockholder to commit or subject any Rollover Stockholder to any obligations or liability except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement. Each such proxy granted in this Section 2.1(b) is irrevocable, coupled with an interest and shall survive until the expiration of the provisions of this Section 2.1. If required, each Seller shall deliver certificates for all of its Shares being Transferred pursuant to this Section 2.1 at the closing of the proposed Company Sale, free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances. The terms and conditions of any sale pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be the same as set forth in the Sale Request. It is understood and acknowledged that, if a Seller shall not have delivered the required certificates for all of its Shares being Transferred pursuant to this Section 2.1, then the Advent Stockholders may exercise their rights pursuant to the proxy granted pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) to take either or both of the following actions: (i) executing and delivering to the Company an affidavit of loss on behalf of such Seller causing the issuance and delivery of replacement certificates to facilitate the closing of such Company Sale and/or (ii) entering into (and/or voting such Seller’s Shares in favor of) a definitive transaction agreement providing for the conversion such Seller’s Shares into the right to receive the Board-approved consideration for such Company Sale.
(c) Further Assurances. Each Seller shall take or cause to be taken all actions reasonably necessary or reasonably desirable in order to consummate expeditiously any such Company Sale and any related transactions, including, without limitation, executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments (including, if applicable, a customary successor agreement on terms and conditions no less favorable in any respect to this Agreement in respect of any Consideration Securities) reasonably required by the Advent Stockholders and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and otherwise cooperating with the Advent Stockholders and any prospective buyer; provided, however, that the Sellers shall only be obligated to become liable in respect of any representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or otherwise to the Third Party to the extent provided in the immediately following sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably specified by the Advent Stockholders to which such Advent Stockholders will also be party, provided, however, that (i) each Seller shall only be required to make individual representations and
warranties as to the unencumbered title to its Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Shares and the absence of any Adverse Claim with respect to such Shares, (ii) each Seller shall be severally liable for its pro rata portion of any purchase price adjustment, escrow or indemnity payments and (iii) each Seller shall bear its respective pro rata share of expenses to the extent such expenses benefit all Stockholders; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of liability described in clauses (ii) and (iii) in connection with any Company Sale shall not exceed the proceeds actually received by such Seller in connection with such Company Sale; and provided further, that no Seller shall have any obligation to bear any portion of expenses to the extent such expenses do not benefit all Stockholders; and provided further, that no such Seller shall be required to become bound by any non-competition or similar covenant or to extend the term of any such covenant.
(d) No Registration Required. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1, in the event the consideration to be paid in connection with a Company Sale subject to this Section 2.1 includes any securities (“Consideration Securities”), and the receipt thereof by any Seller would require under applicable law due to Seller’s status as an Unaccredited Investor (i) the registration or qualification of such Consideration Securities or (ii) the provision of any information regarding the Company, such Consideration Securities or the issuer thereof, such Seller shall not have the right to receive such consideration. In such event, the Advent Stockholders shall have the obligation to cause to be paid to such Seller in lieu thereof, against delivery of the certificates for Shares, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date such Consideration Securities would have been issued in exchange for such Shares.
(e) Post-Initial Public Offering Transferees. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Transferees (other than Permitted Transferees) of Shares Transferred after the initial Public Offering shall (i) be subject to the obligations, or be entitled to the rights, set forth in this Section 2.1 or (ii) become a Stockholder and have the rights and be subject to any of the obligations of a Stockholder under this Agreement or be required to execute a counterpart of, or Joinder to, this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
3.1 General. For purposes of Article III: (a) the terms “register,” “registered” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the 1933 Act and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement by the SEC; (b) the term “Holder” means any Stockholder holding Registrable Securities (so long as such Stockholder together with its Permitted Transferees collectively hold Registrable Securities with a value of at least Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($500,000)) and (c) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of vested Options shall be deemed to be outstanding and held by the holders of such vested Options.
3.2 Demand Registration.
(a) Subject to paragraph (b) hereof, at any time after the six month anniversary of the consummation of the Company’s initial Public Offering, the Advent Stockholders may request in writing (specifying that such request is being made pursuant to this Section 3.2) that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-1 (or any successor form to Form S-1 regardless of its designation) under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that the Advent Stockholders may only make such a request a maximum of two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period. Upon receiving such a request, the Company shall promptly notify all other Holders of such request and, if any of the Advent Stockholders is registering all or a portion of the Registrable Securities it owns, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause a pro rata portion of the Registrable Securities that the other Holders have requested (within ten (10) days after such Company notice) be registered, to be registered under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that the Advent Stockholders may withdraw any request made pursuant to this Section 3.2, in which event such withdrawn request shall be deemed for all purposes herein not to have been made.
(b) If the total amount of Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities that the underwriters reasonably believe compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company will include in such registration only the number of securities which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.3(b).
3.3 Piggyback Registration; Reduction in Registration.
(a) If at any time the Company determines to register any of its equity securities for its own account under the 1933 Act in connection with a Public Offering of such securities, on a form that would also permit the registration of any of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall, at each such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such determination. Upon the written request of any Holder given to the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause to be registered under the 1933 Act all of the Registrable Securities of such Holder that each Holder has requested be registered. If the total amount of Registrable Securities that are to be included by the Company for its own account and at the request of Holders exceeds the amount of securities that the underwriters reasonably believe compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company will include in such registration only the number of securities which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold, in the following order:
(i) first, the equity securities to be registered on behalf of the Company; and
(ii) then the Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Holders, pro rata, based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by each of them which each of them requests be included in such registration; provided,
however, that if any underwriter who is not an Affiliate or Associate of any Holder, in good faith requests for the success of the initial Public Offering (but not any other Public Offering), that the number of Registrable Securities to be sold by any Holder who is a member of management be apportioned or excluded, such number of Registrable Securities of such Holder shall be reduced or not included to the extent so requested by said underwriter.
(b) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its equity securities for the account of any Holder pursuant to Sections 3.2 or 3.9 of this Agreement or otherwise, under the 1933 Act in connection with the public offering of such securities on a form that would also permit the registration of any of the Registrable Securities and the total amount of Registrable Securities requested to be included by the requesting Holders and by the Company and the other Holders, exceeds the amount of securities that the underwriters reasonably believe compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company will include in such registration only the number of securities which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold, in the following order:
(i) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Holders, pro rata, based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by each of them which each of them requests be included in such registration; and
(ii) second, the equity securities to be registered on behalf of the Company;
provided, however, that if any underwriter who is not an Affiliate or Associate of any Holder, in good faith requests for the success of the initial Public Offering (but not any other Public Offering), that the number of Registrable Securities to be sold by any Holder who is a member of management be apportioned or excluded, such number of Registrable Securities of such Holder shall be reduced or not included to the extent so requested by said underwriter.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to cause any Registrable Securities of any Holder to be registered under the 1933 Act or notify such Holder of any registration of the Company’s securities pursuant to this Article III if all Registrable Securities held by such Holder may be sold by such Holder pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act in a single transaction without timing or volume limitation.
3.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under Sections 3.2, 3.3 or 3.9 to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective;
(b) as expeditiously as reasonably possible, 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 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;
(c) as expeditiously as reasonably possible, furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with requirements of the 1933 Act, and such other documents they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;
(d) as expeditiously as reasonably possible, use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably necessary for the distribution of the securities covered by the registration statement; provided, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business where it is not already so qualified or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; provided, further, that (anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding with respect to the bearing of expenses) if any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified shall require that expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification of the securities in that jurisdiction be borne by selling stockholders, then such expenses shall be payable by selling stockholders pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by each of them which is included in such registration or qualification, to the extent required by such jurisdiction;
(e) use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with, or approved by, such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
(f) notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, upon discovery that, or upon 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 any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and at the request of any such seller or Holder, promptly prepare and file with the SEC and furnish to such seller or Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided, that, each Holder agrees that it shall not sell any Registrable Securities covered by such a
registration statement upon receipt of notice from the Company until receipt of notice that such statement or omission has been corrected;
(g) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and will furnish to each seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the filing thereof a copy of any amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus and shall not file any amendment or supplement thereof to which any such seller shall have reasonably objected, except to the extent required by law, on the grounds that such amendment or supplement does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act or of the rules or regulations thereunder;
(h) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such registration statement;
(i) use its best efforts to list all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement on a securities exchange on which any class of Registrable Securities is then listed;
(j) make available at reasonable times for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any managing underwriter participating in any disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or any managing underwriter (each, an “Inspector” and collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors and employees, and the independent public accountants of the Company, to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement. Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors (and the Inspectors shall confirm their agreement in writing in advance to the Company if the Company shall so request) unless (x) the disclosure of such Records is necessary, in the Inspector’s judgment based upon the advice of counsel, to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such registration statement, (y) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) the information in such Records was known to the Inspectors on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Company or has been made generally available to the public. Each seller of Registrable Securities agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential;
(k) if such sale is pursuant to an underwritten offering, if reasonably requested (i) obtain “cold comfort” letters dated the effective date of the registration statement and the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement from the Company’s
independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters, and (ii) direct its executive officers and other employees to participate in any road show;
(l) furnish, at the request of any seller of Registrable Securities on the date such securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, an opinion, dated as of such effective date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the seller making such request, covering such legal matters with respect to the registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the underwriters, if any, and such seller may reasonably request and are customarily included in such opinions;
(m) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the registration statement (and in any event within forty-five (45) days, or ninety (90) days if it is a fiscal year, after the end of such twelve month period described hereafter), an earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a period of twelve (12) consecutive months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the registration statement, in a manner which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
(n) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or any other applicable securities regulator; and
(o) take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.
3.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any act pursuant to this Article III that each Holder selling Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder, the Registrable Securities held by such Holder and the intended method of disposition of such securities as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with any actions to be taken by the Company.
3.6 Expenses of Registration. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration and disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to Article III (excluding underwriters’ discounts and commissions, which shall be borne and paid by each of the sellers of the Registrable Securities being sold pro rata in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities registered by such seller), including without limitation all filing, registration and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then being registered), and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one
counsel for the selling Holders (which counsel shall be selected by the Holders which own a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold under the applicable registration) shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that all such expenses in connection with any amendment or supplement to a registration statement or prospectus filed more than nine (9) months after the effective date of such registration statement because any Holder or Holders, as the case may be, of Registrable Securities has not effected the disposition of the securities requested to be registered shall be paid by such Holder or Holders pro rata, as the case may be.
3.7 Underwriting Requirements.
(a) For so long as the Advent Stockholders collectively own at least fifty percent (50%) of the Shares then issued and outstanding, the Advent Stockholders, acting by Advent Consent, shall have the right to approve the selection of the lead underwriter for any Public Offering in which any Advent Stockholder participates.
(b) Each Holder selling Registrable Securities in any underwritten registration pursuant to Sections 3.2, 3.3 or 3.9 shall, as a condition for inclusion of such Registrable Securities in such underwritten registration, execute and deliver an underwriting agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company and the underwriters with respect to such registration. Subject to Section 3.7(a), such underwriters shall be selected by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each participating Holder shall take all action reasonably necessary with respect to executing such underwriting agreement; provided, however, that the liability of each participating Holder pursuant to such underwriting agreement shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such participating Holder from the Public Offering (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions).
3.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Article III:
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder (which term, for purposes of this Section 3.8, shall include each Stockholder and shall also include the directors, officers, partners, members, trustees, equity holders, advisors and employees of such Stockholders and their Affiliates) requesting or joining in a registration, any underwriter (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) for a registration, and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof), joint or several, to which any such Holder, underwriter or control Person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in a registration statement relating to a registration pursuant to this Article III, including any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus, or final prospectus contained therein, or any related summary prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or other disclosure document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein,
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arise out of or are based upon any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction required of, taken by or omitted to be taken by the Company in connection with any such registration or disclosure document, and will reimburse each such Holder, underwriter or control Person for any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable to any Holder, underwriter or control Person for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission made in connection with such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, incorporated document or other disclosure document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, underwriter or control Person. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder, underwriter or control Person and shall survive the Transfer of such securities by such Holder.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder requesting or joining in a registration shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, and each agent and any underwriter for the Company and any Person who controls any such agent or underwriter and each other Holder and any Person who controls such other Holder (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened in respect thereto) to which the Company or any such director, officer, control Person, agent, underwriter or other Holder may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any related summary prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or other disclosure document or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, free writing prospectus, summary prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, incorporated document or other disclosure document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder (other than information furnished by such Holder on behalf of
the Company in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company) expressly for use in connection with such registration; and such Holder will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer, control Person, agent, underwriter or other Holder for any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, the indemnity obligation of each such Holder hereunder shall be limited to and shall not exceed the net proceeds actually received by such Holder (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions) upon a sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement hereunder from which such liability arises; provided, further, that the obligation to indemnify contained in this Section 3.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Such obligation to indemnify shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer, Holder, underwriter or control Person and shall survive the Transfer of such securities by such Holder.
(c) Any Person seeking indemnification under this Section 3.8 will (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (but the failure to give such notice will not affect the right to indemnification hereunder, unless and to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified and indemnifying parties with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party, and other indemnifying parties similarly situated, jointly to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the parties. In the event that the indemnifying parties cannot mutually agree as to the selection of counsel, each indemnifying party may retain separate counsel to act on its behalf and at its expense. The indemnified party shall in all events be entitled to participate in such defense at its expense through its own counsel. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which 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 of such claim or litigation. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of counsel, but will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel.
(d) If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any party or insufficient to hold it harmless as and to the extent contemplated by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 3.8, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the applicable indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the applicable indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other hand, and also the relative fault of the applicable indemnifying party and the applicable indemnified party, as the case may be, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 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 such indemnifying party or such indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentence. The amount paid or payable by a contributing party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability referred to above in this Section 3.8(d) shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Any Holder’s contribution obligations pursuant to this Section 3.8(d) shall not exceed such Holder’s net proceeds from the applicable offering.
3.9 Registration on Form S-3.
(a) After the date on which the Company has effected an initial Public Offering, if (i) any Holders request in writing (specifying that such request is being made pursuant to this Section 3.9) that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3 regardless of its designation), and (ii) the Company (x) is entitled to use such form to register such securities and (y) the Form S-3 for a public offering of securities has an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $5,000,000; then the Company shall (A) within ten (10) days of the receipt by the Company of such request, give written notice of such proposed registration to all other Holders and (B) within thirty (30) days from the date of such request, cause to be filed a Form S-3 with the SEC with respect to such securities requested by such Holders together with all of the Registrable Securities of any Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Form S-3 to be declared effective as soon as possible.
(b) At any time that a registration statement on Form S-3 is effective, if any Holders request in writing (specifying that such request is being made pursuant to this
Section 3.9) that the Company initiate a take-down from the Form S-3 for a public offering of securities having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $5,000,000, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days of the receipt by the Company of such request, give written notice of such proposed take-down to all other Holders and (ii) within thirty (30) days from the date of such request, cause to be filed a prospectus supplement with respect to such securities requested by such Holders together with all of the Registrable Securities of any Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, that the Stockholders shall not be permitted to make more than two (2) such requests for registration in any twelve month period. If the total amount of Registrable Securities that are to be included at the request of Holders in any such registration exceeds the amount of securities that the underwriters reasonably believe compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company will include in such registration only the number of Registrable Securities which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in accordance with Section 3.3(b). Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, the piggyback rights described in this Section 3.9(b) shall not apply to an underwritten block trade.
3.10 Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making available to the Holders and their Permitted Transferees the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times subsequent to ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement covering a Public Offering filed by the Company or resulting in the Company becoming a “Reporting Company” as defined under the 1934 Act;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act; and
(c) furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of said first registration statement filed by the Company or such time as the Company becomes a Reporting Company), and of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC permitting the selling of any such securities without registration.
3.11 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents and warrants that it has not entered into, and, except with respect to customary lock-up provisions contained in any
underwriting agreement the Company enters into in connection any Public Offering, covenants that it will not hereafter enter into, any agreement with respect to the registration of its securities that violates or conflicts with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the parties hereto as set forth in Section 4.2.
3.12 Stock Split. If, on or after the receipt by the Company of a request for registration of a Public Offering pursuant to Section 3.2, the proposed managing underwriter (or underwriters) of such offering reasonably believes that the number of shares to be registered is less than the minimum number necessary for the success of such offering, the Company will promptly prepare and submit to the Board of Directors, use its best efforts to cause to be adopted by the Board and Stockholders, and, if so adopted, file and cause to become effective, an amendment to its certificate of incorporation so as to cause each Share to be converted into such number of new shares so that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be registered is equal to the minimum number which such managing underwriter (or underwriters) reasonably believes is necessary for the success of such offering. Each Stockholder and such Stockholder’s Permitted Transferees shall vote the Shares held by such Stockholder or Permitted Transferees in favor of adopting such amendment.
3.13 Timing and Other Limitations. If the Company shall furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities requesting a registration pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.9 a certificate signed by a majority of the Board of Directors stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its Stockholders for such registration statement to be filed on or before the date filing would be required and it is therefore advisable to defer the filing of such registration statement, then the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the registration statement for a period of not more than one hundred eighty (180) days, and the request pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.9 then made shall not be counted for purposes of determining the number of registrations pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.9; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize such right more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
3.14 Lock-up. In connection with the first Public Offering or any Public Offering pursuant to Section 3.2, no officer, director or Stockholder may Transfer any Shares for a period (the “Lock-up Period”) beginning seven (7) days immediately preceding the date upon which the Company in good faith believes that the relevant registration statement shall become effective, and ending on the one hundred eightieth (180th) day (or, (x) in the case of a Public Offering that is not the initial Public Offering, the ninetieth (90th) day, and (y) at the discretion of the underwriter, such lesser period, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.14) following the effectiveness of such registration statement with respect to such Public Offering without the prior written consent of the underwriters managing the offering (subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.14), and at the request of the underwriter, each such holder of Shares shall enter into an agreement to such effect with the underwriter; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 3.14 shall not prohibit any Permitted Transfers so long as the Permitted Transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including this Section 3.14. If (a) during the last 17 days of the Lock-up Period, the Company releases earnings results or announces material news or a material fact, change or event, or (b) prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 15-day period following the
last day of the Lock-up Period, then, in either case, the Lock-up Period shall be extended automatically until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the announcement of the material news, fact, change or event, as applicable, unless each of the underwriters managing the offering have otherwise consented in writing. No Holder of Shares subject to this Section 3.14 shall be released from any obligation under this Section 3.14 or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into pursuant to this Section 3.14 unless all other Holders of Shares subject to the same obligation are also released; provided, however, that a Holder may be permitted by the underwriter to Transfer a portion of its Shares during the period described above so long as all Holders are permitted to Transfer the same relative portion of each such Holder’s Shares.
ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS
4.1 Remedies. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that the covenants of the Company and the Stockholders set forth in this Agreement may be enforced in equity by a decree requiring specific performance. In the event of a breach of any material provision of this Agreement, the aggrieved party will be entitled to institute and prosecute a proceeding to enforce specific performance of such provision, as well as to obtain damages for breach of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, if any dispute arises concerning the Transfer of any of the Shares subject to this Agreement or concerning any other provisions hereof or the obligations of the parties hereunder, the parties to this Agreement agree that an injunction may be issued in connection therewith (including, without limitation, restraining the Transfer of such Shares or rescinding any such Transfer). Such remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive and shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies the parties may have under this Agreement or otherwise.
4.2 Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, set forth the entire understanding of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and all other arrangements and communications, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. The Exhibits may be amended to reflect changes in the composition of the Stockholders as a result of Permitted Transfers or the number of Registrable Securities held by a Stockholder. Amendments to the Exhibits reflecting Permitted Transfers shall become effective when an executed counterpart of, or Joinder to, this Agreement is delivered by such new Permitted Transferee to the Company. Any other amendments, modifications, supplements, restatements to or waivers of, or the termination of, this Agreement shall require (i) Advent Consent and (ii) the written consent of the Rollover Stockholders and Other Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares held by the Rollover Stockholders and Other Stockholders in the aggregate. Without Advent Consent, no material amendment may be made to Section 3.2. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained herein, any party may waive any rights with respect to which such party is entitled to benefits under this Agreement. No waiver of or consent to any departure from any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed in writing by the party entitled to the benefit thereof.
4.3 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, the invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so more narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
