Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering, they shall so state in their request.

If the Holders initiating such registration intend to distribute the Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering, they shall so state in their request. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Company will give written notice of such requested registration to all other Holders of Registrable Securities. The Company will then as provided in Section 4 use all reasonable commercial efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register by such Holders, and all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register by other Holders of Registrable Securities by notice delivered to the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of such notice by the Company.
     2.3. Postponement. The Company may postpone for a period of up to 60 days the filing of any registration required to be filed pursuant to this Section 2 if the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith determines that such postponement is necessary in order to avoid premature disclosure of a financing, acquisition, recapitalization, reorganization or other material transaction, the disclosure of which would have a materially detrimental effect on the Company; provided, however, that the Company may not exercise such right of postponement within any period of 365 days (i) more frequently than twice or (ii) for more than an aggregate of 60 days for all postponements within any such 365-day period. If the Company elects to postpone the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Majority Participating Holders may withdraw such request and upon such withdrawal, such request shall be deemed not to have been made for any purpose of this Agreement.
     2.4. Number of Requests; Form.
     2.4.1. Section 2.1 Registrations. The Company shall not be required to effect more than two (2) registrations pursuant to Section 2.1. Each registration requested pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be effected by the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 (or any other form which includes substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement on such form as currently constituted), unless the use of a different form has been agreed to in writing by the Majority Participating Holders. No registration of Registrable Securities under Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a registration for any purpose of this Section 2.4.1 (i) which shall not have become and remained effective in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) pursuant to which Holders of Registrable Securities are not able to

 


 

include at least 75% of the Registrable Securities which such Holders desired to include in such registration.
     2.4.2. Section 2.2 Registrations. The Company shall not be required to effect more than two (2) registrations pursuant to Section 2.2 in any twelve (12) month period. Each registration requested pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be effected by the filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any other form which includes substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement on such form as currently constituted), unless the use of a different form has been agreed to in writing by the Majority Participating Holders, or unless the Form S-3 is not available as a result of actions of or inaction by the Company in which case such registration shall be on Form S-1 without regard to the limitation on registrations on Form S-1 set forth on Section 2.4.1. No registration of Registrable Securities under Section 2.2 shall be deemed to be a registration for any purpose of this Section 2.4.2 (i) which shall not have become and remained effective in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) pursuant to which Holders of such Registrable Securities are not able to include at least 75% of the Registrable Securities which such Holders desired to include in such registration.
     2.5. Payment of Expenses. The Company hereby agrees to pay all Registration Expenses in connection with all registrations effected pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of such registration proceeding if the registration request is withdrawn at any time at the request of the Majority Participating Holders, and all participating Holders shall bear such expenses, unless the Majority Participating Holders agree to treat such withdrawn registration as a registration which was effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2, as the case may be, which agreement shall bind all Holders of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time the demand for registration was made or if there shall have occurred a material adverse change in market conditions from those existing as such time in the good faith judgment of the Majority Participating Holders makes it undesirable to proceed with the proposed offering, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses. The withdrawn registration shall not count as a registration effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2, as the case may be.
3. Piggyback Registration. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act, for its own account or for the account of any holder of its securities other than Registrable Securities, on a form which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, or proposes to register any securities in a so-called “unallocated” or “universal” shelf registration statement, the Company will each such time give notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so. Such notice shall describe such securities and specify the form, manner and other relevant aspects of such proposed registration. Any such Holder may, by written response delivered to the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, request that all or a specified part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder be included in such registration; provided, that the Company shall only have such obligations with respect to the Initial Public Offering with the prior written approval of the Required Holders; provided, further,

 


 

that the Required Holders may not waive such obligations in part or with respect to less than all requesting Holders. The Company thereupon will use its best efforts as a part of its filing of such form to cause to be included in such registration under the Securities Act all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders of Registrable Securities, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the methods to be used by the Company or other holders of securities in such registration) of the Registrable Securities to be so registered. The Company shall be under no obligation to complete any offering of its securities it proposes to make and shall incur no liability to any Holder for its failure to do so. No registration of Registrable Securities effected under this Section 3 shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations to effect registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2 hereof.
     3.1. Excluded Transactions. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3 incidental to the registration of any of its securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, exchange offers, dividend reinvestment plans or stock option or other employee benefit plans.
     3.2. Payment of Expenses. The Company hereby agrees to pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 3.

In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof, and in connection with any registration statement or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries including, without limitation, reports required by and other documents filed under the Exchange Act, and other documents pursuant to which any debt or equity securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are sold (whether or not for the account of the Company), the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each holder or seller of Registrable Securities, their respective direct and indirect partners, members, stockholders, directors, advisory board members, officers, representatives on the Board of Directors of the Company, and each other Person, if any, who controls or is alleged to control any such Investor, holder or seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such Person being referred to herein as a “Covered Person”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Covered Person may be or become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other securities or other law of any jurisdiction, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any registration statement under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any related summary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any other such disclosure document (including without limitation reports and other documents filed under the Exchange Act and any document incorporated by reference therein) or other document or report, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or other document or report, and will reimburse such Covered Person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Covered Person in any such case 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 alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other such disclosure document or other document or report, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or any of its subsidiaries by or on behalf of such Covered Person relating to such Covered Person expressly for inclusion therein. The indemnities of the Company contained in this Section 6.1 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Covered Person and shall survive any transfer of Registrable Securities.

 


 

     6.2. Indemnities to the Company. In the event of any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or 3, each selling Holder will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign such registration statement and each other Person (other than such seller), if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any statement in or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus included therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any other such disclosure document (including without limitation reports and other documents filed under the Exchange Act and any document incorporated by reference therein) or other document or report, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such seller relating to such seller expressly for inclusion therein. Such indemnity contained in this Section 6.2 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive any transfer of Registrable Securities.
     6.3. Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim of the type referred to in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party, give written notice to each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice to such indemnifying party as provided herein shall not relieve such indemnifying party of its obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, except and solely to the extent that such indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, each indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to such an indemnifying party), and after notice from an indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnified party in good faith determines that there may be a conflict between the positions of such indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of such action or that there may be defenses available to such indemnified party different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party, then counsel for the indemnified party shall conduct the defense to the extent in good faith determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of the indemnified party and such indemnifying party shall employ separate counsel for its own defense, (ii) in any event, the indemnified party shall be entitled to have counsel chosen by such indemnified party participate in, but not conduct, the defense and (iii) the indemnifying party shall bear the legal expenses incurred in connection with the conduct of, and the participation in, the defense as referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above. If, within a reasonable time after receipt of the notice, such indemnifying party shall not have elected to assume the defense of the action, such indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding. 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 to such claim or litigation.
     6.4. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof is unavailable to a party that would have been an indemnified party under any such Section in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each party that would have been an indemnifying party thereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnifying party on the one hand and such indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof). 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 and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4 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 losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 6.4 shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
     6.5. Limitation on Liability of Holders of Registrable Securities. The liability of each Holder in respect of any indemnification or contribution obligation of such Holder arising under this Section 6 shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by such Holder pursuant to such registration less any other damages paid by such Holder with respect to claims relating to such registration.
7. Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, and with a view to making it possible for Holders to register the Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
     (a) use its best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times commencing after the effective date of the registration statement for its Initial Public Offering;
     (b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as will permit Holders to use Form S-3 for the sale

 


 

of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable (but not later than 90 days) after the end of the fiscal year in which the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering is declared effective;
     (c) use its best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
     (d) furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request (1) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time more than 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement for its Initial Public Offering), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or as to its qualification as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (2) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (3) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
8. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 may be assigned by any Holder to a transferee, and by such transferee to a subsequent transferee, but only if such rights are transferred (a) to an Affiliate or other Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) of such Holder or to any charitable institution, (b) in connection with the sale or other transfer of Registrable Securities having a value at the time of such transfer of not less than an aggregate of $1,000,000 or some lesser amount, if such lesser amount represents the value of all the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder or (c) by an Excluded Investor. Any transferee to whom rights under this Agreement are transferred shall (i) as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument by which such transferee agrees to be bound by the obligations imposed upon Holders under this Agreement to the same extent as if such transferee were a Holder under this Agreement and (ii) be deemed to be a Holder hereunder.
9. Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (i) to include securities of the Company in any registration statement, unless under the terms of such agreement such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in a registration statement only on terms subordinate to the terms on which Holders of Registrable Securities may include shares in such registration or (ii) to make a demand registration.
10. Future Changes in Registration Requirements. In the event that the registration requirements under the Securities Act are amended or eliminated to accommodate a “Company registration” or similar approach, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to reflect such changes and the intent of the parties hereto with respect to the benefits and obligations of the

 


 

parties, and in such connection, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Holders of Registrable Securities equivalent benefits to those provided under this Agreement.

19. Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance.
20. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE INVESTORS AND THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR THE INVESTORS WILL ASSERT, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY ISSUE IN ANY PROCEEDING, WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE, IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE INVESTORS AND THE COMPANY HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. The Company acknowledges that it has been informed by the Investors that the provisions of this Section 20 constitute a material inducement upon which the Investors are relying and will rely in entering into this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement. Any Investor or the Company may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section 20 with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Investors and the Company to the waiver of its right to trial by jury.
21. Jurisdiction. Any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any federal or state court located in the State of New York, and each of the parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party

 


 

anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 12 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.
22. Non-Disclosure. Each Investor (other than a PCP Investor) agrees to use the same degree of care as such Investor uses to protect its own confidential information to keep confidential any proprietary or other information furnished to such Investor that the Company maintains in confidence (so long as such information is not in the public domain), except that such Investor may disclose such proprietary or confidential information (i) to any partner (limited or otherwise), subsidiary or parent of such Investor for the purpose of evaluating its investment in the Company as long as such partner, subsidiary or parent is advised of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 22, (ii) at such time as the Company voluntarily discloses such information to the public or such information otherwise enters the public domain through no fault of such Investor, (iii) that is communicated to it free of any obligation of confidentiality, (iv) that is developed by Investor or its agents independently of and without reference to any confidential information communicated by the Company or (v) with respect to any Excluded Investor, any potential purchaser (other than a purchaser identified as a competitor in accordance with Section 5.4 of the Stockholders Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)) of Warrants or Shares into which such Warrants are convertible that has signed a non-disclosure agreement with confidentiality restrictions on such potential purchaser substantially the same as those contained in this section. The PCP Investor agrees to be bound by the non-disclosure agreements it has made in the Subordinated Note Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and the tax structure of this transaction, and all materials of any kind related to such tax treatment and tax structure.
