2.2.2 Within ten (10) days after receipt of any request pursuant to Section 2.2.1, the Trust will give written notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities and will use reasonable best efforts to include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Trust has received written requests for inclusion within ten (10) days after delivery of the Trust’s notice. Upon closing of the IPO, the Trust will use its reasonable best efforts to make Short-Form Demand Registrations available for the sale of Registrable Securities. Demand Registrations will be Short-Form Demand Registrations whenever the Trust is permitted to use any applicable short form. If for marketing or other reasons, any underwriters with respect to any Short-Form Demand Registration request the inclusion in the Registration Statement of information that is not required under the Securities Act to be included in a Registration Statement on the applicable form for the Short-Form Demand Registration, the Trust will provide such information as may be reasonably requested for inclusion by such underwriters in the applicable Registration Statement. Each Holder shall be limited to two (2) Short-Form Demand Registrations.

2.3 Additional Securities. The Trust may include in the Registration Statement relating to any such Demand Registrations (the “Resale Registration Statement”) additional securities of the class of Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder, including securities to be sold for the Trust’s own account or the account of Persons who are not Holders of Registrable Securities.

2.4 Underwritten Offering; Reduction of Offering. Holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to request that a Demand Registration be effected as an underwritten offering

5

at any time, subject to this Section 2. All Holders proposing to participate in such underwriting shall (a) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting by a Majority-in-Interest of the Registrable Securities included in such offering, which underwriter(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trust; provided that with respect to such underwriting agreement or any other documents reasonably required under such agreement, (i) no Holder shall be required to make any representation or warranty with respect to or on behalf of the Company or any other stockholder of the Company and (ii) the liability of any Holder shall be limited as provided in Section 6.2 hereof, and (b) complete and execute all questionnaires, powers-of-attorney, indemnities, opinions and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Trust be obligated to effect more than one underwritten offering hereunder in any single six-month period. If the managing underwriter(s) for an underwritten offering advise(s) the Trust and the Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities which the Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other Common Shares or other securities which the Trust desires to sell and the Common Shares or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other shareholders of the Trust who desire to sell or otherwise, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Threshold”), then the Trust shall include in such registration: (w) first, the Registrable Securities (pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities which such Holders have requested be included in such underwritten offering, regardless of the number of Registrable Securities or other securities held by each such Person (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata Adjusted”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (x) second, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clause (w), the Common Shares or other securities that the Trust desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (y) third, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (w) and (x), the Common Shares or other securities for the account of other Persons that the Trust is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; and (z) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (w), (x) and (y), the Common Shares that other shareholders desire to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold to the extent that the Trust, in its sole discretion, wishes to permit such sales pursuant to this clause (z).

A request for an underwritten offering may be withdrawn by a Majority-in-Interest included in such offering prior to the consummation thereof, and, in such event, such withdrawal shall not be treated as a request for an underwritten offering which shall have been effected pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph. In no event will a Demand Registration count as a Demand Registration unless at least fifty percent (50%) of all Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Demand Registration by the Holders initiating such Demand Registration are, in fact, registered in such registration.

2.5 Inclusion in Resale Registration Statement. The Trust shall give written notice to all Holders at least 20 Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Resale

6

Registration Statement, which notice shall include a questionnaire seeking information from the Holders deemed necessary or advisable by the Trust or its counsel in order to file the Resale Registration Statement. At the time the Resale Registration Statement is declared effective (or becomes effective, if the Resale Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement), each Holder that has delivered to the Trust a duly completed and executed questionnaire on or prior to the date which is ten Business Days prior to such time of effectiveness shall be named as a selling shareholder in the Resale Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, after effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement, the Trust shall file a supplement to such Prospectus or amendment to the Resale Registration Statement upon request of any Holder as necessary to name as selling shareholders therein any Holders that provide to the Trust duly completed and executed questionnaires and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any post-effective amendment to such Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed for such purpose to be declared effective (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement) by the Commission as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof.

2.6 Suspension of Use of Registration Statement. Upon prior written notice to the Holders, the Trust may suspend the use of a Resale Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2 on up to two occasions during any period of twelve consecutive months for a reasonable time specified in the notice but not exceeding 90 days in the aggregate during any such twelve month period (which period may not be extended or renewed), if (a) the Board determines in good faith that permitting sales under the Registration Statement would materially and adversely affect an offering of securities of the Trust; (b) a Piggy-Back Registration (defined below) in which Holders were able to participate and include at least fifty percent (50%) of all Registrable Securities tendered by such Holders for registration in such Piggy-Back Registration was completed within the prior 90 days; or (c) the Trust is in possession of material non-public information and the Board determines in good faith that the disclosure of such information during the period specified in such notice would not be in the best interests of the Trust.

3.1 Piggy-Back Rights. At any time at least one hundred eighty (180) days following the closing of the IPO, if the Trust proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities by the Trust for its own account or for shareholders of the Trust for their account and the registration form to be used may be used for any registration of Registrable Securities, then the Trust shall (a) give written notice of such proposed filing and offering to the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter(s), if any, of the offering, and (b) offer to the Holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five Business Days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). 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 registration, the Trust

7

shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Trust may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder of Registrable Securities and, (x) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The Trust shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Trust and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All Holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an underwriter(s) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in reasonable and customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such Piggy-Back Registration; provided that with respect to such underwriting agreement or any other documents reasonably required under such agreement, (i) no Holder shall be required to make any representation or warranty with respect to or on behalf of the Company or any other stockholder of the Company and (ii) the liability of any Holder shall be limited as provided in Section 6.2 hereof and (ii) complete and execute all questionnaires, powers-of-attorney, indemnities, opinions and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting agreement. No registration effected under this Section 3 shall relieve the Trust of its obligations to effect a Demand Registration required by Section 2.

3.2 Reduction of Offering. If the managing underwriter(s) for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Trust and the Holders of Registrable Securities that in their opinion the dollar amount or number of Common Shares or other securities which the Trust desires to sell, taken together with Common Shares or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with third parties, the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 3, and the Common Shares or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Trust, exceeds the Maximum Threshold, then the Trust shall include in any such registration:

(a) If the registration is undertaken for the Trust’s account: (i) first, the Common Shares or other securities that the Trust desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; and (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Registrable Securities and the Common Shares or other securities proposed to be sold for the account of other Persons that the Trust is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold (pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities and Common Shares or other securities which such Holders and other Persons have requested be included in such underwritten offering, regardless of the number of Registrable Securities and Common Shares or other securities held by each such Holder or other Person); and

8

(b) If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of one or more Persons other than the Trust and any Holder, (i) first, the Common Shares or other securities for the account of such demanding Persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Common Shares or other securities that the Trust desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Registrable Securities and the Common Shares or other securities proposed to be sold for the account of other Persons that the Trust is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold (pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities and Common Shares or other securities which such Holders and other Persons have requested be included in such underwritten offering, regardless of the number of Registrable Securities and Common Shares or other securities held by each such Holder or other Person).

3.3 Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such Holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Trust of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or filing of a Prospectus naming such Holder as a selling shareholder, as applicable. The Trust (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by Persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement without thereby incurring any liability to the Holders of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Trust shall pay all expenses incurred by the Holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 5.3.

The Trust agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution (other than, in the case of the Trust, in connection with (a) any merger, acquisition or similar transaction that involves the public offering of securities, (b) public sales or distributions solely by and for the account of the Trust of securities issued pursuant to any employee benefit or similar plan, including equity incentive plans or upon exercise or conversion by the holders thereof of other derivative securities issued by the Trust that are then outstanding, or (c) any dividend reinvestment plan, direct stock purchase plan or at-the-market offering program then existing), of any securities during the period commencing on the date the Trust receives a request for an underwritten offering from any Holder and continuing until 90 days after the commencement of an underwritten offering (or for such shorter period as the lead underwriter(s) shall request after consultation with a Majority-in-Interest) unless earlier terminated by the lead underwriter(s) in such underwritten offering.

5.1.2 Copies. The Trust shall, upon request, prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus in respect of Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration, any underwriter and such Holders’ or underwriter’s legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and such other documents as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, underwriter or legal counsel for any such Holders or underwriter may reasonably request. Following the filing of such Registration Statement, the Trust shall furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration (in each case in an electronic format, unless otherwise required by applicable law), without charge, such number of copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and such other documents as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, underwriter or legal counsel for any such Holders or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders. Each Holder of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement shall have the right to request in writing that the Trust modify any information contained in such Registration Statement, amendment and supplement thereto pertaining solely to such Holder or which such counsel to Holder may reasonably request in order to ensure that the Registration Statement complies with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the Trust shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with such request; provided, however, that the Trust shall not have any obligation to so modify any information if the Trust reasonably expects that so doing would cause the Prospectus to 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 not misleading.

10

5.1.3 Amendments and Supplements. The Trust shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn.

5.1.5 State Securities Laws Compliance. The Trust shall use its best efforts to (a) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may reasonably request and (b) take such action as reasonably necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Trust and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or

any of them in connection with such Registration Statement. Records which the Trust determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement or (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement agrees that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Trust unless and until such is made generally available to the public. Each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement further agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Trust and allow the Trust, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential.

5.1.9 Opinions and Comfort Letters. If a Registration Statement in respect of Registrable Securities includes an underwritten offering, the Trust shall furnish (a) any opinion of counsel to the Trust delivered to any underwriter and (b) any comfort letter from the Trust’s independent public accountants delivered to any underwriter, each in the form reasonably requested by counsel to such underwriter and shall furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement a signed counterpart, addressed to such Holder, of any such opinion of counsel or comfort letter.

5.1.10 Earnings Statement. The Trust shall make available to its shareholders, as soon as practicable but not more than 12 months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

5.1.11 Listing. To the extent any Registrable Securities are not then listed on an exchange, the Trust shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement to be listed on such exchanges or otherwise designated for trading in the same manner as similar securities issued by the Trust are then listed or designated.

5.2. Obligation to Suspend Distribution. Upon receipt of any notice from the Trust of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5.1.4(d), each Holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder receives the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5.1.4(d) and, if so directed by the Trust, each such Holder will destroy all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the most recent Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

5.3. Registration Expenses. The Trust shall pay the following costs and expenses incurred in connection with (a) any Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2 and (b) any Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 3, and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the Registration

13

Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees; (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing expenses; (iv) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities as required by Section 5.1.11 ; (v) Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. fees; (vi) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trust and fees and expenses for independent public accountants retained by the Trust (including the expenses or costs associated with the delivery of any opinions or comfort letters requested pursuant to Section 5.1.9); and (vii) the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Trust in connection with such Registration. The Trust shall have no obligation to pay any other costs or expenses in the course of any Registration contemplated hereby. The Trust shall have the right to exclude any Holder that does not agree to bear its expenses (except as expressly provided in the second preceding sentence) from the applicable Registration. The obligation of the Trust to bear the expenses described in this Section 5.3 shall apply irrespective of whether a Registration becomes effective, is withdrawn or suspended, is converted to another form of Registration and irrespective of when any of the foregoing shall occur.

5.4. Information. In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities, the Holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Trust in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement in order to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities and in connection with the Trust’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. If a Holder fails to provide such information after reasonably requested, the Trust may omit such Holder’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

6.1. Indemnification by the Trust. The Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law each Holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, Affiliates, trustees, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) such Holder of Registrable Securities from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities (“Losses”) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus), or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Trust will not be liable in any such case to any Holder to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Trust, in writing, by such Holder expressly for use therein.

14

6.2. Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating and as a condition to such participation, each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Trust, and each of its officers, employees, Affiliates, trustees and agents, and each Person who controls the Trust within the meaning of the Securities Act and each underwriter (if any), and each Person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any Losses, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus), or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein, in the case of the Prospectus in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Trust by such Holder expressly for use therein. Each Holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of gross proceeds actually received by such Holder from sales of Registrable Securities giving rise to such obligations.

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Trust or any Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by any Holder.

6.3. Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person of any notice of any Loss or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other Person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other Person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Loss or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants or if such Indemnified Party or parties determines in good faith that a conflict of interest exists and that therefore it is advisable for such Indemnified Party or parties to be represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel, there may be legal defenses available to it or them which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnifying Party or parties shall not be entitled to assume such defense and the Indemnified Party or parties shall be

15

entitled to separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s or parties’ expense. If an Indemnifying Party or parties is not so entitled to assume the defense of such action or does not assume such defense, after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Party or parties will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party or parties (limited in each jurisdiction to one counsel for all Indemnified Parties under this Agreement). The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel, which firm shall be designated in writing by those Indemnified Parties who sold a majority of the Registrable Shares sold by all such Indemnified Parties) to represent the Indemnified Party or parties and their respective controlling Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party or parties against the Indemnifying Party or parties, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party or parties, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party or parties are or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding and does not include any statement of admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

6.4. Contribution.

6.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless in respect of any Loss referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party or parties, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party or parties as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such Loss, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party 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 Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

6.4.2 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 immediately preceding Section 6.4.1.

6.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnifying Party as a result of any Loss shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4, no Holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount by which the gross proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable

16

Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason 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.

6.4.4 The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 are in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Parties may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties hereunder, under applicable law or at equity, and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or any officer, employee, Affiliate, trustee, director, partner, member, attorney, agent or controlling person of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.

7.1. Rule 144. At such times as the Trust is obligated to file reports in compliance with either Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Trust covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the Holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holders to sell Registrable Securities (subject to any contractual obligation of such Holders to the contrary) without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar Rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder, the Trust will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

8.1. Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trust hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Trust in whole or in part. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such Holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and to the extent of (a) any transfer of Registrable Securities to any Affiliate of Purchaser, or (b) any transfer of not less than 20% of the initial number of Registrable Securities issued to Purchaser at the closing under the Share Purchase Agreement to any Person (subject to any contractual obligation of such Holders to the contrary). This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns; provided, however, that no such transfer or assignment shall be binding upon or obligate the Trust to any such assignee, and no such assignee shall be deemed a Holder hereunder, unless and until the Trust shall have received written notice of such transfer or assignment as herein provided and a written agreement of the assignee to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any Persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Article 6 and this Section 8.1.

8.2. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally served, delivered by reputable overnight courier service with charges prepaid, or transmitted by hand delivery, telex or facsimile, addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice. Notice shall be deemed given on the date of service or transmission if personally served or transmitted by telex or facsimile; provided, however, that if such service or transmission is not on a Business Day or is after normal business hours, then such notice shall be deemed given on the next Business Day. Notice otherwise sent as provided herein shall be deemed given on the next Business Day following timely delivery of such notice to a reputable overnight courier service with an order for next-day delivery.
