ARTICLE 2

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

2.1 Demand Registrations.

(a) Requests for Registration of Registrable Shares Owned by the Sponsors. Subject to the provisions of this Article 2, each of (i) FNF and (ii) THL

 

3


Holders shall have the right to request registration under the Securities Act (the “Demand Right”) of all or any portion of the Registrable Shares held by such Securityholder(s) by delivering a written notice to the principal business office of the Company, which notice identifies the Person(s) requesting registration (the “Requesting Holder(s)”) and specifies the number of Registrable Shares to be included in such registration (the “Registration Request”); provided, however, that if the Company has not already consummated a Public Offering, neither FNF or the THL Holders may exercise their Demand Rights hereunder for the Company’s first Public Offering without such prior written consent of certain stockholders as may be required under Section 2.2(a)(x) of the Stockholders Agreement; provided, further, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding proviso, after the two-year anniversary of the date hereof, either FNF or the THL Holders may exercise their Demand Rights hereunder for the Company’s first Public Offering if such Public Offering is reasonably likely to result in a Qualified Public Offering. Any such requested registration shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Demand Registration.” With respect to any Demand Registration, the Requesting Holders may request the Company to effect a registration of the Registrable Shares under a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration”).

(b) Effecting the Registration. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1(e), the Company will give prompt written notice of any such Registration Request (the “Registration Notice”) to all other holders of Registrable Shares and will thereupon use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act on any form available to the Company of:

 

  (i) in the case of the Company’s first Public Offering, any Registrable Shares the Company proposes to register for its own account;

 

  (ii) the Registrable Shares requested to be registered by the Requesting Holders; and

 

  (iii) all other Registrable Shares of the same type and class which the Company has received a written request to register pursuant to Section 2.2(a) within 10 days after notice is given by the Company pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and any securities of the Company proposed to be included in such registration by the Company for its own account (provided such securities shall be of the same class required to be registered under Section 2.1(a)).

(c) Preservation of Demand Registration. A registration undertaken by the Company at the request of the Requesting Holder under Section 2.1(a) will not count as a Demand Registration:

 

  (i) if, pursuant to the Demand Right, the Requesting Holders are unable to register and sell at least 50% of the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration by them, unless such failure results from any act of, or failure to act by, any of the Requesting Holders;

 

4


  (ii) if the Requesting Holders withdraw their Registration Request prior to the time the Registration Statement therefor is declared effective and promptly reimburse the Company for all Registration Expenses incurred by the Company in connection with effecting such registration, such Registration Request shall not count as a Demand Registration so long as this provision has not been previously utilized by any Sponsor within the immediately preceding 18 months; or

 

  (iii) if the Requesting Holders withdraw a Registration Request upon the determination of the Board of Directors of the Company to postpone the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1(e).

(d) Priority on Demand Registration. If the sole or managing underwriter of a Demand Registration advises the Company in writing that in its reasonable opinion the number of Registrable Shares and other securities requested to be included exceeds the number of Registrable Shares and other securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the marketability thereof, the Company will include in such registration the Registrable Shares in the following priority:

 

  (i) first, in the event of the Company’s first Public Offering, including a Qualified Public Offering, the greatest number of securities of the Company proposed to be included in such registration by the Company for its own account, which in the opinion of such underwriters can be so sold; and

 

  (ii) second, after all securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account have been included in the case of the Company’s first Public Offering, the greatest amount of Registrable Shares requested to be registered by the holders thereof which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the marketability thereof, ratably among the holders of Registrable Shares (whether requested to be registered pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2) based on the respective amounts of Registrable Shares requested to be included by each such holder.

 

5


(e) Restrictions on Demand Registrations. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.1(e), following the Company’s first Public Offering, the Company shall not be obligated to effect (i) more than two (2) Demand Registrations pursuant to a Demand Right exercised by THL under Section 2.1(a) and (ii) more than two (2) Demand Registrations pursuant to a Demand Right exercised by FNF under Section 2.1(a). No Securityholder may exercise a Demand Right under this Section 2.1 unless the reasonably anticipated gross proceeds of the resulting offering would exceed $75,000,000. Any Demand Registration requested must be for a firmly underwritten public offering of Registrable Shares to be managed by an underwriter or underwriters of recognized national standing selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Holders. The Company may defer the filing (but not the preparation thereof) of a Registration Statement to effect a Demand Registration if, after a request is made, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith, after consultation with independent outside counsel, that the filing of a Registration Statement would require disclosure in the Registration Statement of material, non-public information in order to make the statements in the Registration Statement not misleading which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, and disclosure of which would have an adverse effect on the Company or its business. The Company may defer the registration under this paragraph (e) pursuant to the preceding sentence until the earlier of (A) the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or disclosure of which would no longer be material or materially detrimental or (B) 90 days after the Company first makes such good faith determination; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right to defer more than once in any twelve-month period.

(f) Stock Splits. In connection with any Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1, each party to this Agreement will vote, or cause to be voted, all securities of the Company over which it has the power to vote or direct the voting to effect any stock split which, in the opinion of the sole or managing underwriter, is necessary to facilitate the effectiveness of such Demand Registration.

(g) Other Registration Rights. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any Persons the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company or any incidental or “piggy-back” rights that are superior or pari pasu with respect to any equity security of the Company, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the prior written consent of the holders of at least 90% of the Registrable Shares then owned by the Sponsors.

2.2 Incidental Registration.

(a) Requests for Incidental Registration. At any time the Company proposes to register for a Public Offering any Common Stock under the Securities Act, including registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a), whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company will give written notice to each holder of Registrable Shares at least 20 days prior to the initial filing of such Registration Statement with the SEC of its intent to file such Registration Statement (or, if earlier, within 5 business days of receipt of a Registration Notice) and of such holder’s rights under this Section 2.2. Upon the

 

6


written request of any holder of Registrable Shares made within 10 days after any such notice is given by the Company (which request shall specify the Registrable Shares intended to be disposed of by such holder), subject to the provisions of this Article 2, the Company will effect the registration (an “Incidental Registration”) under the Securities Act of all Registrable Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by the holders thereof; provided, however, that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Incidental Registration (each an “Incidental Registration Statement”), (i) the Company shall determine not to register such securities for its own account (provided such Company-initiated registration is not pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof) or to defer the registration of such securities in accordance with Section 2.1(e), or (ii) the Securityholder exercising a Demand Right shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company or such Securityholder, as the case may be, at its election, may give written notice of such determination to each holder of Registrable Shares and, thereupon, (a) in the case of a determination not to register, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Shares under this Section 2.2 or under Section 2.1 in connection with such particular registration (but not from its obligation to pay the expenses incurred in connection therewith) and (b) in the case of a determination to delay registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Shares under this Section 2.2 or under Section 2.1 during the period that the registration of such other securities is delayed.

(b) Priority on Incidental Registration. If the sole or managing underwriter of a registration advises the Company in writing that in its opinion the number of Registrable Shares and other securities requested to be included exceeds the number of Registrable Shares and other securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the marketability thereof, the Company will include in such registration the Registrable Shares and other securities of the Company in the following order of priority:

 

  (i) first, in the event of a Company-initiated registration or the Company’s first Public Offering, the greatest number of securities of the Company proposed to be included in such registration by the Company for its own account, which in the opinion of such underwriters can be so sold; and

 

  (ii)

second, after all securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account have been included in the event of a Company-initiated registration, the greatest amount of Registrable Shares requested to be registered by the holders thereof which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the marketability thereof, ratably among the holders of Registrable Shares (whether

 

7


 

requested to be registered pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2) based on the respective amounts of Registrable Shares requested to be included by each such holder.

2.3 Registration on Form S-3.

(a) Request for Registration. After twelve (12) months following the Company’s first Public Offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act, if any of the Sponsors request that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3), or any similar short-form registration statement, for a Public Offering of Registrable Shares, the reasonably anticipated gross proceeds from the sale of such Registrable Shares would exceed $75,000,000, and the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register the Registrable Shares for such an offering, the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days of the receipt by the Company of such notice, give written notice of such proposed registration to all other Securityholders and (ii) as soon as practicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Shares to be registered on such form for the offering and to cause such Registrable Shares to be qualified in such jurisdictions as the Securityholders may reasonably request together with all or such portion of the Registrable Shares of any Securityholders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company. After the Company’s first Public Offering, the Company will use its best efforts to qualify for and remain eligible to use Form S-3 registration or a similar short-form registration. For the avoidance of doubt, a registration under this Section 2.3(a) shall not be considered to be a Demand Registration for any purpose.

(b) Deferral of Filing. The Company may defer the filing (but not the preparation thereof) of a Registration Statement required by Section 2.3 if, after a request is made, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with independent outside counsel, that the filing of a Registration Statement would require disclosure in the Registration Statement of material, non-public information in order to make the statements in the Registration Statement not misleading which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, and disclosure of which would have an adverse effect on the Company or its business. The Company may defer the registration under this paragraph (b) pursuant to the preceding sentence until the earlier of (A) the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or disclosure would no longer be material or materially detrimental or (B) 90 days after the Company first makes such good faith determination; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right to defer more than once in any twelve-month period.

2.4 Holdback Agreements. Each Securityholder agrees that if requested in connection with any Public Offering made pursuant to this Agreement for which a Securityholder has registration rights pursuant to this Article 2 by the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering, such Securityholder will enter

 

8


into an agreement with the underwriters on customary terms regarding restrictions on the ability of the Securityholders, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, to sell their Registrable Shares during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus to such Public Offering and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter; provided, that (i) the date so specified will be no later than (A) 180 days after the date of such final prospectus in the case of the Company’s first Public Offering, subject to any extended period not to exceed 30 additional days as is customarily contained in lock-up agreements at the time of such Public Offering, and (B) 90 days after the date of such final prospectus for any subsequent Public Offering, and will be the same for all Securityholders that enter into such agreements, in each case, plus (if the Company so elects) any extension period needed to permit analysts employed by the underwriting firms to publish research around the end of the foregoing periods, and (ii) all executive officers, beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company’s capital stock (excluding, for the purposes of this clause (ii), beneficial owners who acquire such 5% or more of the Company’s capital stock in connection with or subsequent to the subject Public Offering) and directors enter into such agreements. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Shares of each Securityholder (and the shares or securities of every other person listed in clause (ii) above) until the end of such period.

2.5 Registration Procedures. In connection with the registration of any Registrable Shares, the Company shall effect such registrations to permit the sale of such Registrable Shares in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:

(h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 2.5(c)(vi) above, as promptly as practicable prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Shares being sold thereunder, such prospectus will not contain 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(k)(i) Use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement to be listed on the principal securities exchange on which Common Stock is then listed (if any), if the listing of such Registrable Shares is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) if no Common Stock is then so listed, use its commercially reasonable efforts to, either (as the Company may elect) (x) cause all such Registrable Shares to be listed on a national securities exchange or (y) secure designation of all such Registrable Shares as a NASDAQ “NMS security” within the meaning of Rule 600(b)(46) or, failing that, to secure NASDAQ authorization for such shares and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with respect to such shares with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

offering contemplated herein and customary selling efforts related thereto; provided however this right may not be exercised pursuant to a registration in which the Company is not selling securities more than once in any 12 month period without the consent of such senior executive officers.

The Company may require each holder of Registrable Shares as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding such holder and the distribution of such Registrable Shares as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing; provided that, such information shall be used only in connection with such registration. The Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Shares of any holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information promptly after receiving such request. Each holder agrees that, upon receipt of written notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.5(c)(ii), 2.5(c)(iv) or 2.5 (c)(v), such holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement or prospectus until such holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.5, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto.

In the case of a Shelf Registration, each holder of Registrable Shares, upon receipt of written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.5(c) or any circumstance described in Section 2.1(f) or 2.3(b), shall forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration covering such Registrable Shares until (i) with respect to an event in Section 2.5(c), such holder’s receipt of the copies of the writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and (ii) with respect to a circumstance described in Section 2.1(f) or 2.3(b), 90 days after receipt of the Suspension Notice. The Company shall not give a Suspension Notice until after the Shelf Registration has been declared effective and shall not give more than one Suspension Notice during any period of twelve consecutive months and in no event shall the period from the date on which any holder receives a Suspension Notice to the date on which any holder receives either the Advice or copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.5(c) (the “Suspension Period”) exceed 90 days. In the event that the Company shall give any Suspension Notice, the Company shall use its best efforts and take such actions as are reasonably necessary to render the Advice and end the Suspension Period as promptly as practicable.

2.7 Indemnification; Contribution.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Shares, the officers, directors, agents, partners and employees of each of them, each Person who controls each such holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), the officers, directors, agents, partners and employees of each such controlling person and any financial or investment adviser (each, an “Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened), reasonable costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and reasonable expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplements thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except to the extent that the same arise out of or are based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Party or the related holder of Registrable Shares expressly for use therein or (ii) any violation by the Company of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action required of or inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Shares or any other Person, if any, who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) such Person failed to send or deliver a copy of the prospectus with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by such Person to the Person asserting the claim from which such Losses arise,

 

14


(ii) the prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission, and (iii) the Company has complied with its obligations under Section 2.5(c). Each indemnity and reimbursement of costs and expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(b) Indemnification by Holders. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a holder of Registrable Shares is participating, such holder, or an authorized officer of such holder, shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any Registration Statement or prospectus and agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, or form of prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue or alleged untrue statement is contained in, or such omission or alleged omission is required to be contained in, any information so furnished in writing by such holder to the Company expressly for use in such Registration Statement or prospectus and that such statement or omission was relied upon by the Company in preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus or form of prospectus; provided, however, that such holder of Registrable Shares shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that the holder has furnished in writing to the Company within a reasonable period of time prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto information expressly for use in such Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading, information previously furnished to the Company, and the Company failed to include such information therein. In no event shall the liability of any Selling Securityholder of Registrable Shares hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of payment of all expenses) received by such holder upon the sale of the Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “indemnified party”), such indemnified party shall give prompt notice to the party or parties from which such indemnity is sought (the “indemnifying parties”) of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or written threat thereof (a “Proceeding”) with respect to which such indemnified party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the indemnifying parties shall not relieve the indemnifying parties from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the

 

15


indemnifying parties have been prejudiced by such failure. The indemnifying parties shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an indemnified party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such indemnified party of such Proceeding, to assume, at the indemnifying parties’ expense, the defense of any such Proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that an indemnified party or parties (if more than one such indemnified party is named in any Proceeding) shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless: (i) the indemnifying parties agree to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying parties fail promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding or fail to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or parties; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party or parties and the indemnifying parties or an affiliate of the indemnifying parties or such indemnified parties, and there may be one or more defenses available to such indemnified party or parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying parties, in which case, if such indemnified party or parties notifies the indemnifying parties in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying parties, the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying parties, it being understood, however, that, unless there exists a conflict among indemnified parties, the indemnifying parties shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such indemnified party or parties. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the indemnifying parties, such indemnifying parties or indemnified party or parties will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its or their consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The indemnifying parties shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (i) provides for other than monetary damages without the consent of the indemnified party or parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party or parties of a release, in form and substance satisfactory to such indemnified party or parties, from all liability in respect of such Proceeding for which such indemnified party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.7 is unavailable to an indemnified party or is insufficient to hold such indemnified party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 2.7 would otherwise apply by its terms, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall have an obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements

 

16


or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and indemnified party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been taken by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding, to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 2.7(a) or 2.7(b) was available to such party. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.7(d) were determined by pro-rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.7(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.7(d), an indemnifying party that is a Selling Securityholder of Registrable Shares shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party in the offering to which such claims relates exceeds the amount of any damages that such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reasons of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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.

2.8 Rule 144. At all times after the Company effects its first Public Offering, the Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and will take such further action as any holder of Registrable Shares may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 or 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Shares, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

2.9 Underwritten Registrations.

(a) No holder of Registrable Shares may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such holder (A) agrees to sell such holder’s Registrable Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (B) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 

17


(b) In the case of an underwritten offering requested by holders pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.3, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms for each class of Registrable Shares of the related underwriting agreement shall be determined by the Securityholders initially exercising such Demand Rights or rights under Section 2.3 and be acceptable to the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the case of any underwritten offering pursuant to a Company initiated offering, such price, discount and other terms shall be determined by the Company. Holders requesting to participate in any registration pursuant to Section 2.2(a) may withdraw their request to participate in the registration solely if the actual per share price of the offering is lower than the anticipated range set forth in either the original Registration Notice or the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney (as defined below).

(c) Upon delivering a request under Section 2.2(a), each Securityholder (excluding THL, FNF and their respective Affiliates) will, if requested by the Company, execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney to be effective for no more than four months and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to such Securityholder’s Shares to be registered pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (a “Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney”). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will provide, among other things, that the Securityholder will deliver to and deposit in custody with the custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates representing such Shares (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on such Securityholder’s behalf with respect to the matters specified therein. The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney shall set forth the anticipated range of the per share price of Common Stock to be paid in the offering and shall provide the opportunity to withdraw a registration request with respect to such offering solely if the actual per share price of the offering is lower than the anticipated range.

2.10 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not and will not, enter into any agreement with respect to the Company’s securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Shares in this Article 2 or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

ARTICLE 3

TERMINATION

3.1 Termination. The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate when there shall no longer be any Registrable Shares outstanding.

The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall not restrict the ability of any party to enforce in any court any judgment obtained in a federal or state court of the State of New York.
