The Holder will have the right to make only one Demand Registration Request per class within any twelve- (12-) month period; provided, however, that a Demand Registration Request will not be deemed to constitute a Demand Registration Request for purposes of the foregoing limitation if (i) such Demand Registration Request has been withdrawn pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or (ii) the registration statement filed in connection with such Demand Registration Request (x) does not become effective or (y) is not maintained effective for the period required hereunder. In no event will the Company be required to initiate more than five (5) registrations pursuant to this Section 4.1(a).
(b)Registration Expenses. The Company will pay all (and will promptly reimburse to the Holder to the extent the Holder has borne any reasonable expenses) Registration Expenses other than any Selling Expenses with respect to any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1, regardless of whether the registration statement filed in connection with such registration becomes effective; provided, however, that the Registration Expenses will not be required to be paid by the Company if the registration proceeding began pursuant to Section 4.1(a) and the Demand Registration Request was withdrawn (in which case the Holder will be solely responsible for the payment of the Registration Expenses incurred as a result of such Demand Registration Request).
1.2Shelf Registration.
(a)Filing. If requested by Stockholders (the “Shelf Requesting Stockholders”) owning a Class of Registrable Securities, as promptly as practicable following such Shelf Requesting Stockholders request therefor (and no later than forty-five (45) days following such request), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on any applicable form that is then available to (and as determined by) the Company under the Securities Act for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) that covers the Registrable Securities held by the Shelf Requesting Stockholders for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto; provided, however, that the Holder will have the right to request no more than one (1) Shelf Registration Statement within any six- (6-) month period. If permitted under the Securities Act, such Shelf Registration Statement shall be an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
(b)Effectiveness. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 4.2(a) to be declared effective by the SEC or otherwise become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof and (ii) keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and useable for the resale of Registrable Securities until such time as there are no Registrable Securities remaining.
(c)Additional Registrable Securities; Additional Selling Stockholders. At any time and from time to time that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if a Stockholder holding Registrable Securities requests (i) the registration under the Securities Act of additional Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) that such Stockholder be added as a selling stockholder in such Shelf Registration Statement, the Company, if it is eligible to do so, shall as promptly as practicable amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement to cover such additional Registrable Securities and/or Stockholder.
(d)Right to Effect Shelf Takedowns. Subject to the limitations set forth in Article III, each Stockholder shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time when a Shelf
-12-



Registration Statement is effective, to sell any or all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Takedown”).
(e)At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.2(a) is effective, if any Stockholder delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to effect an underwritten offering of all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”) and stating the number of the Registrable Securities to be included in the Shelf Underwritten Offering and confirming that such sale of Registrable Securities is reasonably expected to result in aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $15 million in respect of the applicable Class of Registered Securities, then the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Underwritten Offering (taking into account the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other Stockholders).  In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering:
(1)the Company shall promptly deliver the Take-Down Notice to all other Stockholders included on such Shelf Registration Statement and permit each such Stockholder to include its Registrable Securities included on such Shelf Registration Statement in the Shelf Underwritten Offering if such Stockholder notifies the Company within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Take-Down Notice to such holder; and
(2)in the event that the lead underwriter or placement agent determines that marketing factors (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price) require a limitation on the number of shares which would otherwise be included in the Shelf Underwritten Offering, the lead underwriter or placement agent may limit the number of shares which would otherwise be included in such take-down offering in the same manner as is described in Section 4.3(a)(B) with respect to a limitation of shares to be included in an underwritten offering.
(f)Registration Expenses. The Company will pay all (and will promptly reimburse to any Shelf Requesting Stockholders to the extent they have borne any) Registration Expenses other than any Selling Expenses with respect to any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.2, regardless of whether the registration statement filed in connection with such registration becomes effective; provided, however, that the Registration Expenses will not be required to be paid by the Company if the registration proceeding began pursuant to Section 4.2(a) and the request to prepare and file a Shelf Registration Statement was withdrawn (in which case the Shelf Requesting Stockholders will be solely responsible for the payment of the Registration Expenses incurred as a result of such request to prepare and file such Shelf Registration Statement). Each Shelf Requesting Stockholder will be solely liable for the payment of any Selling Expenses applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities by such Shelf Requesting Stockholder. In no event will the Company be required to effect more than three (3) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to Section 4.2(d).
1.3Piggyback Registration.
(a)Notice; Registration; Suspension. If the Company proposes to register, including in connection with a Demand Registration Request received pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or a request to prepare and file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4.2(a), any Class A Common Stock on behalf of itself or any other Stockholders (“Other Securities”) for public sale under the Securities Act (whether proposed to be offered for sale by the Company or by any other person) on a form and in a manner that would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company will give prompt written notice to the Stockholders of the intention to do so, which
-13-



notice the Stockholders will keep confidential, and upon the written request of any Stockholder delivered to the Company within ten (10) Business Days after the giving of any such notice (which request will specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Stockholder) (the “Piggyback Stockholders”), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by any such Piggyback Stockholder pursuant to such Piggyback Registration; provided, however, that:
(A)if, at any time after giving such written notice of the intention to register any Other Securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company will determine for any reason not to register the Other Securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Piggyback Stockholders who have submitted a written request pursuant to this Section 4.3, and thereupon the Company will be relieved of its obligation to register such Registrable Securities in connection with the registration of such Other Securities (but not from its obligation to pay any Registration Expenses other than any Selling Expenses to the extent incurred in connection therewith as provided in Section 4.3(b));
(B)the Company will not be required to effect any registration of Registrable Securities if the Company will have been advised in writing (with a copy provided to each Piggyback Stockholder upon such Piggyback Stockholder’s request) by the lead underwriter or placement agent in connection with the Public Offering of the Other Securities that the registration of such Registrable Securities at that time would jeopardize the success of the offering of the Other Securities; provided, however, that if an offering of some but not all of the shares requested to be registered pursuant to this Section 4.3 would not jeopardize the success of the offering of the Other Securities, the aggregate number of shares requested to be included in such offering by the Piggyback Stockholders submitting a request pursuant to this Section 4.3 will be reduced accordingly with such shares being allocated among such Piggyback Stockholders in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by such Piggyback Stockholders; and
(C)the Company will not be required to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 4.3 incidental to the registration of any of its securities (i) on Form S-8 or in connection with any employee or director welfare, benefit or compensation plan, (ii) on Form S-4 or in connection with an exchange offer, (iii) in connection with a rights offering exclusively to existing holders of Class A Common Stock, (iv) in connection with an offering solely to employees of the Company or its subsidiaries or (v) relating to a transaction pursuant to Rule 145 of the Securities Act.
(D)If a Piggyback Registration is effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or the then appropriate form for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Piggyback Shelf Registration Statement”), the holders of Registrable Securities shall be notified by the Company of and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any offering of Class A Common Stock pursuant to such Piggyback Shelf Registration Statement (a “Piggyback Shelf Takedown”), subject to the same limitations that are applicable to any other Piggyback Registration as set forth above.
-14-



(b)Registration Expenses. The Company will pay all (and will promptly reimburse to any Piggyback Stockholder submitting a request pursuant to Section 4.3(a) to the extent it has borne any) Registration Expenses other than any Selling Expenses with respect to any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.3, regardless of whether the registration statement filed in connection with such registration becomes effective. Each Piggyback Stockholder will be solely liable for the payment of any Selling Expenses applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities by such Piggyback Stockholder.
1.4Block Trades; Other Coordinated Offerings.
(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE IV but subject to ARTICLE III, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf Registration is on file with the SEC, if a Stockholder wishes to engage in (a) an underwritten registered offering not involving a “roadshow,” an offer commonly known as a “block trade” (a “Block Trade”), or (b) an “at the market” or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal (an “Other Coordinated Offering”), in each case, (x) with a total offering price of at least $25.0 million in the aggregate or (y) with respect to all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Stockholder, then such Stockholder only needs to notify the Company of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering at least five (5) business days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; provided that the Stockholder representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any underwriters, brokers, sales agents or placement agents prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.
(b)Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Stockholders initiating such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to submit written notice to the Company, the underwriter or underwriters (if any) and any brokers, sales agents or placement agents (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section 4.4(b).
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 4.3 shall not apply to a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering initiated by a Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement.
(d)The Stockholder in a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to select the underwriters and any brokers, sales agents or placement agents (if any) for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering (in each case, which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).
(e)Stockholders in the aggregate may demand no more than (i) one (1) Block Trade pursuant to this Section 4.4 within any six (6) month period or (ii) two (2) Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings pursuant to this Section 4.4 in any twelve (12) month period. For the avoidance of doubt, any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering effected pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall not be counted as a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof.
1.5Conditions to Offering.
-15-



(a)The obligations of the Company to take the actions contemplated by Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 with respect to an offering of Registrable Securities will be subject to the following conditions:
(A)The Company may require the Holder, the Shelf Requesting Stockholders or the Piggyback Stockholders, as applicable, to furnish to the Company such information regarding such Stockholders, the Registrable Securities or the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or under state securities or “blue sky” laws; and
(B)in any registration pursuant to Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3 or Section 4.4 hereof, the Holder, the Shelf Requesting Stockholders or the Piggyback Stockholders, as applicable, together with the Company and any other Stockholders of the Company proposing to include securities in any registration under the Securities Act, will, if such offering is to be underwritten, enter into a customary underwriting agreement in accordance with Section 4.7 with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting, as well as such other documents customary in similar offerings.
(b)The Stockholders agree that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4.8(e) or 4.8(g) or a condition described in Section 4.6(a), the Stockholders will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering the sale of such Registrable Securities until the Stockholder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4.8(e) or notice from the Company of the termination of the stop order or Suspension Period.
(c)Each Stockholder agrees that to the extent timely notified in writing by the underwriters managing any underwritten offering by the Company of shares of Class A Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock, each such Stockholder that is participating in such underwritten offering shall agree (the “Underwriter’s Lockup”) not to Transfer any Shares without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters during the period beginning seven (7) days before and ending one-hundred twenty (120) days (or, in either case, such lesser period as may be permitted for all Stockholders by the Company or such managing underwriter or underwriters) after the effective date of the registration statement (or prospectus supplement) filed in connection with such underwritten offering. The Underwriter’s Lockup shall provide that if all or a portion of the Shares of any Stockholder is released from an Underwriter's Lockup or all or a portion of the Shares of any other party who entered into a substantially similar agreement with the underwriters in connection with such underwritten offering is released from such agreement, then the same percentage of the shares of each Stockholder shall be released from the Underwriter's Lockup.
1.6Suspension Period.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing prior written notice to the Stockholders, to require the Stockholders to suspend the use of the prospectus included in any registration statement for resales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3 or Section 4.4 or to postpone the filing or suspend the use of any registration statement pursuant to Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3 or Section 4.4 for a reasonable period of time not to exceed one-hundred fifty (150) days in succession in any one-year period (or a
-16-



longer period of time with the prior written consent of the Stockholders, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) (a “Suspension Period”) if (A) the Company is in possession of material non-public information and the chief executive officer of the Company determines in good faith that the disclosure of such information during the period specified in such notice would be materially detrimental to the Company or (B) the Company shall determine that it is required to disclose in any such registration statement (or will be required to disclose in connection with permitting sales under an effective registration statement) a contemplated financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization, consolidation, merger, tender offer or other similar material transaction or other material event or circumstance affecting the Company or its securities, and the chief executive officer of the Company determines in good faith that the disclosure of such information at such time would be materially detrimental to the Company or the holders of its Class A Common Stock. In the event of any such suspension pursuant to this Section 4.6, the Company shall furnish to the Stockholders a written notice setting forth the estimated length of the anticipated delay. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to limit the length of any Suspension Period and shall notify the Stockholders promptly upon the termination of the Suspension Period. Notice of the commencement of a Suspension Period shall simply specify such commencement and shall not contain any facts or circumstances relating to such commencement or any material non-public information. Upon notice by the Company to the Stockholders of any determination to commence a Suspension Period, the Stockholders shall keep the fact of any such Suspension Period strictly confidential, and during any Suspension Period, promptly halt any offer, sale, trading or transfer of any Class A Common Stock pursuant to such prospectus for the duration of the Suspension Period until (x) the Suspension Period has expired or, if earlier, (y) the Company has provided notice that the Suspension Period has been terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 4.6 shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 4.1 or Section 4.2.
(b)After the expiration of any Suspension Period and without any further request from a Stockholder, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a registration statement or post-effective amendment or supplement to the applicable registration statement or prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, if necessary, the prospectus will not include a material misstatement or omission or be not effective and useable for resale of Registrable Securities.
1.7Underwriting Requirements.
(a)In the event that any registration pursuant to Section 4.1 or a Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 4.2 will involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, the Holder will have the right to select the underwriters for such underwritten offering, subject to the prior written consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In such event, the underwriting agreement will contain such representations and warranties of the Company and the applicable Stockholders and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including indemnities and contribution to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 4.10.
(b)In the event that any registration pursuant to Section 4.3 will involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, the Company may require Registrable Securities requested to be registered pursuant to Section 4.3 to be included in such underwriting on the same terms and conditions as will be applicable to the Other Securities being sold through underwriters under such registration. In such case, the holders of Registrable Securities on whose behalf Registrable Securities are to be distributed by such underwriters will be parties to any such underwriting agreement. Such agreement will contain such representations and warranties and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting
-17-



agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including indemnities and contribution to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 4.10.
1.8Obligations of the Company. If and whenever the Company is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3 or Section 4.4, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts, as promptly as is practicable, as applicable:

(e)to notify the Holder, Shelf Requesting Stockholders or Piggyback Stockholders, as applicable, at any time when a prospectus relating to Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Company becomes aware that the prospectus included in a registration statement or the registration statement or amendment or supplement relating to such Registrable Securities contains 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, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Company will promptly prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or amendment to such prospectus and registration statement so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such prospectus and registration statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(j)it will be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to a Stockholder to take any action pursuant to Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4 and Section 4.8 of this Agreement that such Stockholder will furnish to the Company such information regarding such Stockholder, the Registrable Securities and the proposed method of distribution of the Registrable Securities that the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing and that is required by law, regulation or the SEC in connection with any registration, and during the effectiveness of a registration of Registrable Securities under this Agreement, such Stockholder owning such Registrable Securities will, upon the reasonable request of the Company, subject to applicable law, notify the Company whether such Stockholder has further need for the continued effectiveness of such registration;
(k)to notify each selling Stockholder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed;

(a)Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder and each of its officers and directors and each person who controls such Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
-19-



Exchange Act (an “Indemnified Person”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, as incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act, or any prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any Indemnified Person, or any amendment or supplement thereto, 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, and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to any such Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that (x) any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement or prospectus, or amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein or (y) if any untrue statement or omission is completely corrected in an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, and the Company provides such Holder with such amendment or supplement promptly, and such Holder thereafter fails to deliver such Prospectus as so amended or supplemented prior to or concurrently with the sale of Registrable Securities to the person asserting such Loss after the Company had furnished such Holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same (and the delivery thereof would have resulted in no such Loss); provided, however, that in the case of clause (y), the Company has otherwise publicly disclosed such amendment or supplement in accordance with any rules and regulations adopted by the SEC.
(b)Indemnification of the Company. Each Stockholder will, upon exercise of its registration rights pursuant to Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3 or Section 4.4, and each other Stockholder will be required to, upon such exercise, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers who sign any registration statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such other persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, as incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement, 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, 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 made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Stockholder expressly for use therein, and each Stockholder agrees, and each other Stockholder will be required to agree, to reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(c)Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 4.10(a) or 4.10(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 4.10, promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 4.10, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually materially prejudiced by the indemnified party’s failure to give such notice. In case any such action will be brought against any indemnified party and it will notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such
-20-



indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it will wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof (with counsel, who will not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the 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 under this Section 4.10 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party will, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnified party may effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnifying party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party.
(d)Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 4.10(a) or 4.10(b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above will be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent such fees or expenses were incurred prior to an indemnifying party’s election to assume the defense of such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten Public Offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
(f)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.10, in no event will a Stockholder be required to undertake liability to any person or persons under this Section 4.10 for any amounts in the aggregate in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Stockholder from the sale of such Stockholder’s Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act.
-21-



(g)The obligations of the Company under this Section 4.10 will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person, and the obligations of the Stockholders under this Section 4.10 will be in addition to any liability which such persons may otherwise have to the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 4.10 are not exclusive and will not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to a party at law or in equity.
1.11Rule 144 and 144A and Regulation S. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and it will use its reasonable best efforts to take any such further action as reasonably requested, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Stockholders to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the reasonable request of a Stockholder, the Company will deliver to such Stockholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

1.12Additional Registration Rights. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would provide to such holder or prospective holder the right to include securities in any registration on other than either a pro rata basis with respect to the Registrable Securities or on a subordinate basis.
ARTICLE V

PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS
1.1Pre-emptive Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.1 and applicable securities laws, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any Shares or Series B Preferred Stock after the date hereof (“New Shares”), the Company shall first offer to each Stockholder a portion of such New Shares equal to the product of (1) the total number of New Shares proposed to be offered or sold by the Company and (2) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of Shares then owned by such Stockholder and (y) the denominator of which is the total number of Shares then issued and outstanding (the “Pro Rata Portion”). A Stockholder shall be entitled to apportion the pre-emptive rights hereby granted to it in such proportions as it deems appropriate among (i) itself, (ii) its Affiliates and (iii) its beneficial interest holders, such as limited partners, members or any other Person having “beneficial ownership,” as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, of such Stockholder (“Holder Beneficial Owners”).
(a)The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each Stockholder, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Shares, (ii) the number of such New Shares to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Shares.
(b)By notification to the Company within twenty (20) days after the Offer Notice is given, each Stockholder may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion.
(c)At expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the Company shall promptly notify each Stockholder that elects to purchase or acquire all the shares available to it (each a “Fully Exercising Holder”) of any other Stockholder’s failure to do likewise. During the ten (10) day period commencing after the date the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising Holder may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to such
-22-



Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion, up to that portion of the New Shares for which Stockholders were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Stockholder, which is equal to the product of (1) the total number of New Shares proposed to be offered or sold by the Company and not purchased by the Fully Exercising Holders and (2) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of Shares then owned by such Stockholder and (y) the denominator of which is the total number of Shares owned by all Fully Exercising Holders who wish to purchase such unsubscribed shares. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall occur within the later of ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Shares pursuant to Section 5.1(d).
(d)If all New Shares referred to in the Offer Notice are not purchased or acquired as provided in Section 5.1(b), the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Section 5.1(b), offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Shares to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within ninety (90) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Shares shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Stockholders in accordance with this Section 5.1.
(e)Each Stockholder that exercises pre-emptive rights pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall deliver at the closing of the issuance of New Shares payment, to the bank account designated by the Company, in full in immediately available funds for the New Shares purchased by such Stockholder. As such closing, the Stockholder shall execute such additional documents as the Company may reasonably request.
(f)The pre-emptive rights in this Section 5.1 shall not be applicable to (1) shares of Class A Common Stock, options or convertible securities issued by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Class A Common Stock; (2) shares of Class A Common Stock or options issued to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board; (3) shares of Class A Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of options or warrants, provided such issuance is pursuant to the terms of such option or warrant; (4) shares of Class A Common Stock, options or convertible securities issued as acquisition consideration pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or other person, or portion thereof, by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or to a joint venture agreement approved by the Board or (5) issuances approved by the Board and payable to a third-party as consideration for any other business relationships, the primary purpose of which is not to raise capital or (6) shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to Board approval in connection with the financing or refinancing of any indebtedness or debt securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including as an equity kicker in connection therewith); provided, however, that with respect to clauses (5) and (6), the number of issued Class A Common Stock shall not constitute more than 0.25% of the number of Class A Common Stock then issued and outstanding.
1.2Termination of Pre-emptive Rights. The covenants set forth in Section 5.1 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (a) such time as the Holder, together with its Affiliates, ceases to own at least 50% of the Class A Common Stock acquired by the Holder at Closing and (b) a Change of Control, in which the consideration received by the Stockholders in such Change of Control is in the form of cash and/or publicly traded securities, or if the Stockholders receive participation rights from the acquiring company or other successor to the Company reasonably comparable to those set forth in this ARTICLE V.

1.2Certain Tax Compliance Matters

The parties acknowledge that Holder may be obliged to file a German separate assessment (gesonderte Feststellung) for purposes of the controlled foreign companies’ legislation (Hinzurechnungsbesteuerung) pursuant to section 18 of the German Foreign Tax Act (Außensteuergesetz) (“FTA Rules”). The Company hereby agrees to use its best efforts, pursuant to Holder’s written request, (i) to provide assistance to Holder with assessing the potential applicability of the FTA Rules with respect to the Company or any affiliate of the Company and (ii) to provide Holder or Holder’s tax advisor with any information necessary and/or helpful to examine if Holder is required to file any such tax returns and for the preparation and filing of such tax returns pursuant to section 18 of the FTA Rules or any other tax filing obligations under the FTA Rules (“CFC Tax Responsibility”). This shall comprise (without limitation) the type, composition and value of the assets held directly or indirectly by the Company and any specific information in relation to any affiliate of the Company including but not limited to its legal form, its tax status in its country of residence as well as the composition and type of its income.

1.2Waiver. Any party may waive any provision of this Agreement with respect to itself by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Except where a specific period for action or inaction is provided herein, neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege. The failure of a party to exercise any right conferred herein within the time required shall cause such right to terminate with respect to the transaction or circumstances
-28-



giving rise to such right, but not to any such right arising as a result of any other transactions or circumstances.
1.3Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced as a result of any rule of law or public policy, all other terms and other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.
1.4Termination of Company’s Registration Obligations. The Company’s obligations with respect to any Registrable Securities shall terminate upon such time as such Registrable Securities are no longer Registrable Securities and with respect to any Shareholder, at such time as a Shareholder no longer owns or holds any Registrable Securities.
1.5Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all Exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by, between or among the parties, written or oral, to the extent that they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof.
1.6Successors and Assigns; Binding Effect; Assignment.
(a)Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.
(b)Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by any party hereto pursuant to any Transfer of Securities or otherwise, except that the Holder may transfer all of its rights hereunder (including its rights under ARTICLE II, ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV, ARTICLE V, ARTICLE VI and ARTICLE VII) solely in connection with the Transfer of a majority of the Holder’s and its Affiliates’ shares of Class A Common Stock then-held (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Class A Common Stock resulting from conversion of any Securities held by the Holder or dividends related thereto or exercise of the Warrant) to a Permitted Transferee to the extent such Transfer is permitted under and effected pursuant to Section 3.2 and, to the extent such Permitted Transferee executes and delivers to the Company a Joinder; provided, however, that the Holder may transfer its right to designate one (1) nominee for appointment, election or re-election to the Board to a Major Third Party Transferee, solely in accordance with Section 2.1(c).
(c)If the Holder validly transfers its right to designate one (1) nominee for appointment, election or re-election to the Board to a Major Third Party Transferee in accordance with Section 2.1(c), the Company shall negotiate in good faith with such Major Third Party Transferee to grant such Major Third Party Transferee (i) registration rights on substantially the same terms as the registration rights granted to the Holder pursuant to ARTICLE IV (provided that the number of demand rights granted collectively to such Third Party Transferee and the Holder following the consummation of a Major Third Party Transfer shall not exceed the number of demand rights granted to the Holder pursuant to ARTICLE IV) and (ii) information rights that are reasonably satisfactory to allow such Third Party Transferee to comply with accounting and regulatory requirements applicable to such Third Party Transferee.

1.7Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts (including facsimile counterparts), each of which will be deemed an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
1.8Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges that it would be impossible to determine the amount of damages that would result from any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and that the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of such provisions would likely be inadequate and, accordingly, agrees that the other parties shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies which they may have, be entitled to such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction to compel specific performance of, or restrain any party from violating, any of such provisions. In connection with any action or proceeding for injunctive relief, each party hereto hereby waives the claim or defense that a remedy at law alone is adequate and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to have each provision of this Agreement specifically enforced against it, without the necessity of posting bond or other security against it, and consents to the entry of injunctive relief against it enjoining or restraining any breach or threatened breach of such provisions of this Agreement.
