Within ten days after receipt of any such Demand Request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration (which shall specify the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Shares) to all other holders of Registrable Shares (a “Company Notice”) and the Company shall include (subject to the provisions of this Agreement) in such registration, all Registrable Shares with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 20 days after the delivery of such Company Notice; provided that any such other holder may withdraw its request for inclusion at any time prior to executing the underwriting agreement or, if none, prior to the applicable registration statement becoming effective.

(ii) The Company may postpone for up to 90 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if the Company determines that such Demand Registration or the disclosure required in connection therewith would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition of assets

(other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization or similar transaction; provided that in such event the holders of Registrable Shares initiating such Demand Registration pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration will not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations hereunder and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such requested registration. The Company may use the provisions of this clause (ii) to delay a Demand Registration only once during any twelve-month period with respect to each of the TowerBrook Majority Holders, the GI Majority Holders, the AIMCo Majority Holders, the Harris Majority Holders, the Meridian Majority Holders and the Other Majority Holders.

(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its Class A Shares under the Securities Act for its own account or for the account of any holder of Class A Shares (other than (i) pursuant to a Demand Registration, in which case the ability of a holder of Registrable Shares to participate in such Demand Registration shall be governed by Section 2, including, without limitation, Section 3(c), (ii) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8 or S-4 or any similar or successor form, (iii) in connection with a registration the primary purpose of which is to register debt securities (i.e., in connection with a so-called “equity kicker”), (iv) in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2 hereof or (v) in connection with the issuance by the Company of Class A Shares in the Ladder IPO (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the managing underwriter(s))) (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all applicable holders of Registrable Shares of its intention to effect such a registration and of such holders’ rights under this Section 4(a). Upon the written request of any holder of Registrable Shares receiving such notice (which request must specify the Registrable Shares intended to be disposed of by such holder and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company shall include in such registration (subject to the provisions of this Agreement) all Registrable Shares requested to be registered pursuant to this Section 4(a), subject to Sections 4(b) and 4(c) below, with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 20 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice; provided that any such other holder may withdraw its request for inclusion at any time prior to executing the underwriting agreement or, if none, prior to the applicable registration statement becoming effective.

(b) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is in part an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Class A Shares requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company and without adversely affecting the

marketability of the offering, then the Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration (i) first, the Class A Shares the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Shares according to the number of Registrable Shares requested by them to be so included and (iii) third, any other Class A Shares requested to be included in such registration, in such manner as the Company may determine.

(c) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Class A Shares (it being understood that Demand Registrations on behalf of holders of Registrable Shares are addressed in Section 3 rather than in this Section 4(c)), and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Class A Shares requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders initially requesting such registration and without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, then the Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration (i) first, the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Shares according to the number of Registrable Shares requested by them to be so included and (ii) second, any other Class A Shares requested to be included in such registration, in such manner as the Company may determine.

(d) Selection of Underwriters. In the case of any Piggyback Registration, the Company shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering (which investment banker(s) and manager(s) will be nationally recognized).

(e) Other Registrations. If the Company has previously filed a registration statement with respect to Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2, Section 3 or pursuant to this Section 4, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, then all the parties hereto agree that the Company shall not be required to effect any other registration of any of its equity or similar securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity or similar securities under the Securities Act (except in connection with a Demand Registration), whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least 180 days has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration.

5. Holdback Agreements. No holder of Registrable Shares shall sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such equity securities, during the seven days prior to (except in the case of an Underwritten Shelf Offering, in which case, during the three business days prior to) and the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of the final prospectus for any underwritten offering of Registrable Shares with an aggregate offering value of Registrable Shares of at least $10,000,000 (the “Holdback Period”), except as part of such underwritten offering, unless the underwriters managing the underwritten offering agree in writing (in which case all holders of Registrable Shares shall be released from the Holdback Period on a pro rata basis based upon the number of Registrable Shares held by such holder), and each holder of Registrable Shares agrees

to promptly execute and deliver any reasonable agreement (including a lock-up agreement) which is consistent with the provisions of this Section 5 and which may be requested and/or required by the underwriters managing such underwritten offering of Registrable Shares. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the equity securities subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of any applicable Holdback Period.

6. Registration Procedures. Whenever any Registrable Shares are to be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as practicable:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC an applicable registration statement with respect to such Registrable Shares and use all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective (provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to the counsel selected pursuant to Section 6(b) copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the prompt review and reasonable comment of such counsel), and upon filing such documents, promptly notify in writing such counsel of the receipt by the Company of any written comments by the SEC with respect to such registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any written request by the SEC for the amending or supplementing thereof or for additional information with respect thereto;

(b) notify each holder of Registrable Shares of the effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder and prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less than 60 days (180 days in the case of a registration statement on Form S-3, or in the case of a Shelf Registration in effect pursuant to Section 2 until the first to occur of (i) the date five years after effectiveness of the initial Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) the date on which the remaining Registrable Shares represent less than 5% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares, on a fully diluted basis; provided that nothing set forth herein shall require the Company to file or to keep effective a Shelf Registration Statement at any time during which the Company is ineligible to do so) or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period as, in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters, a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Shares by any underwriter or dealer or such shorter period as will terminate when all the securities covered by such registration statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement (but in any event not before the expiration of any longer period required under the Securities Act), and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement and cause the prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to applicable law;

(d) furnish to each seller of Registrable Shares such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including, without limitation, each preliminary prospectus), each Free Writing Prospectus and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Shares owned by such seller;

(f) promptly notify each seller of such Registrable Shares, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that or upon the discovery of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and, at the request of any such seller, as soon as reasonably practicable, file and furnish to all sellers a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Shares, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made;

(j) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Shares, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information and participate in due diligence sessions reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;

(l) use all reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, and, in the event of such issuance, immediately notify the holders of Registrable Shares included in such registration statement of the receipt by the Company of such notification and shall use all reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;

(o) obtain one or more “cold comfort” letters, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), signed by the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the holders of a majority of the number of Registrable Shares being sold reasonably request;

(p) provide a legal opinion of the Company’s outside counsel, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), with respect to the registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including, without limitation, the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature;

If any such registration or comparable statement refers to any holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company and if in such holder’s sole and exclusive judgment, such holder is or might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, such holder shall have the right to (i) require the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to such holder and presented to the Company in writing, to the effect that the holding by such holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such holder of the investment quality of the Company’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such holder shall assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company or (ii) in the event that such reference to such holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar Federal statute then in force, require the deletion of the reference to such holder (provided that with respect to this clause (ii), if requested by the Company, such holder shall furnish to the Company an opinion of counsel to such effect, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company).

7. Registration Expenses.

(a) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all Registration Expenses, shall be borne by the Company. The Company’s obligation to bear all Registration Expenses shall not depend on whether or not any offering contemplated hereby is completed or whether any registration statement is declared effective.

(b) In connection with each Demand Registration and each Piggyback Registration, the Company shall reimburse the holders of Registrable Shares included in such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the holders of a majority of the number of Registrable Shares initially requesting such registration.

8. Indemnification.

(a) By the Company. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to agree to, indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Shares, its officers, directors, members, employees, agents, stockholders and general and limited partners and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof), joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, reports required and other documents filed under the Exchange Act, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, together with any documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or other document and shall reimburse such holder, officer, director, member, employee, agent, stockholder, partner or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses, including, without limitation, any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, incurred by such holder, officer, director, member, employee, agent, stockholder, partner or controlling Person in connection with the investigation or defense of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify such underwriters, their officers, directors, agents and employees and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Shares.

(b) By the Holders. In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Shares is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information about such holder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and the other holders of Registrable Shares against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is

contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such holder which authorizes its use in the applicable document; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration statement.

(c) Claim Procedures. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice will not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the indemnifying party shall not, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof, a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation provided by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay (i) the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim or (ii) any settlement made by any indemnified party without such indemnifying party’s consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) Survival; Contribution. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, agent or employee and each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls such indemnified party (within the meaning of the Securities Act), and will survive the transfer of securities. The Company also agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

9. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no holder of Registrable Shares may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such holder (a) agrees to sell such holder’s applicable Registrable Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the managing underwriter(s); provided that no holder of Registrable Shares shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Shares that such holder has requested the Company to include in any registration) and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements (including, without limitation, any applicable lock-up

agreement); provided that no holder of Registrable Shares included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder and such holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification or contribution obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.

10. Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the holders of Registrable Shares the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other similar type rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a holder of Registrable Shares to sell Registrable Shares to the public without registration (but only to the extent SEC Rule 144 or any such other rule or regulation of the SEC is available to such holder of Registrable Shares with respect any such sale of Registrable Shares to the public) or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, and for so long as the Class A Shares are publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, the Company shall:

(c) furnish to any holder of Registrable Shares, so long as such holder of Registrable Shares owns any Registrable Shares, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that the Company has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the Ladder IPO), the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that the Company qualifies as a registrant whose Class A Shares may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies); and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any such holder of Registrable Shares of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Shares without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such Form S-3).
