REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Company represents and warrants to Treasury that as of the Signing Date and as of the Closing Date (or such other date specified herein):

The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, with the necessary power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and conduct its business as it is being currently conducted, and except as has not, individually or in the aggregate, had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, has been duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is in good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties or conducts any business so as to require such qualification; each subsidiary of the Company that would be considered a “significant subsidiary” within the meaning of Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), has been duly organized and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. The Charter and Bylaws, copies of which have been provided to Treasury prior to the Signing Date, are true, complete and correct copies of such documents as in full force and effect as of the Signing Date and as of the Closing Date.

2.2 Capitalization. The Company maintains only one class of equity security. The outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and are validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and subject to no preemptive or similar rights (and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights). As of the Signing Date, the Company does not have outstanding any securities or other obligations providing the holder the right to acquire its common stock (“Common Stock”) that are not reserved for issuance as specified in Part 2.2 of the Disclosure Schedule, and the Company has not made any other commitment to authorize, issue or sell any Common Stock or other capital stock.

(b) In the event that any Senior Securities (A) (i) become registered under the Securities Act or (ii) are eligible to be transferred without restriction in accordance with Rule 144 or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act (other than Rule 144A), or (B) (i) become subject to an Indenture qualified under the Indenture Act or (ii) are exempt from qualification under the Indenture Act, the Company shall issue new certificates or other instruments representing such Senior Securities, which shall not contain the applicable legends in Section 5.5(a) above; provided that the Holder surrenders to the Company the previously issued certificates or other instruments.

5.6 Transfer of Senior Securities.

(a) The Company or its duly appointed agent shall maintain a register (the “Senior Securities Register”) for the Senior Securities in which it shall register the issuance and transfer of the Senior Securities. All transfers of the Senior Securities shall be recorded on the Senior Securities Register maintained by the Company or its agent, and the Company shall be entitled to regard the registered Holder of such Senior Security as the actual owner of the Senior Security so registered until the Company or its agent is required to record a transfer of such Senior Security on its Senior Securities Register. The Company or its agent shall, subject to applicable securities laws, be required to record any such transfer when it receives the Senior Security to be transferred duly and properly endorsed by the registered Holder or by its attorney duly authorized in writing.

(b) The Company shall at any time, upon written request of the Holder of a Senior Security and surrender of the Senior Security for such purpose, at the expense of the Company, issue new Senior Securities in exchange therefor in such denominations of at least $1,000, as shall be specified by the Holder of such Senior Security, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the then unpaid principal amount of the Senior Securities surrendered and substantially in the form of Annex F, with appropriate insertions and variations, and bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the Senior Security surrendered. All Senior Securities issued upon any registration of transfer of exchange pursuant to this Section 5.6(b) shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Senior Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(c) All Senior Securities presented for registration of transfer or for exchange or payment shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by, a written instrument or instruments of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

(d) No service charge shall be incurred for any exchange or registration of transfer of Senior Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

(e) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Senior Security, the Company and any agent of the Company may deem and treat the person in whose name such Senior Security is registered as the absolute owner and Holder of such Senior Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Senior Security and none of the Company or any agents of the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(f) Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Holder shall be permitted to transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) all or a portion of the Senior Securities at any time, and the Company shall take all steps as may be reasonably requested by Treasury to facilitate the Transfer of the Senior Securities, including without limitation, as set forth in Section 5.9; provided that Treasury shall not Transfer any Senior Securities if such transfer would require the Company to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the Company was not already subject to such requirements. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall provide reasonable cooperation to facilitate any Transfers of the Senior Securities, including, as is reasonable under the circumstances, by furnishing such information concerning the Company and its business as a proposed transferee may reasonably request (including such information as is required by Section 3.1(c)(iv)) and making management of the Company reasonably available to respond to questions of a proposed transferee in accordance with customary practice, subject in all cases to the proposed transferee agreeing to a customary confidentiality agreement.

5.7 Replacement of Senior Securities. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Senior Security, and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of a bond of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company (provided that Treasury or any institutional Holder of a Senior Security may instead deliver to the Company an indemnity agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company), or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Senior Security, as the case may be, the Company will issue a new Senior Security of like tenor, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Senior Security.

5.8 Cancellation. All Senior Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, exchange or registration of transfer, shall be surrendered to the Company and promptly canceled by it, and no Senior Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Agreement.

5.9 Rule 144; Rule 144A; 4(1 12) Transactions.

(a) At all times after the Signing Date, the Company covenants that (1) it will, upon the request of Treasury or any subsequent Holder, use its reasonable best efforts to (x), to the extent any Holder is relying on Rule 144 under the Securities Act to sell any of the Senior Securities, make “current public information” available, as provided in Section (c)(1) of Rule 144 (if the Company is a “Reporting Issuer” within the meaning of Rule 144) or in Section (c)(2) of Rule 144 (if the Company is a “Non-Reporting Issuer” within the meaning of Rule 144), in either case for such time period as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144, (y), to the extent any Holder is relying on the so-called “Section 4(1 12)” exemption to sell any of its Senior Securities, prepare and provide to such Holder such information, including the preparation of private offering memoranda or circulars or financial information, as the Holder may reasonably request to enable the sale of the Senior Securities pursuant to such exemption, or (z) to the extent any Holder is relying on Rule 144A under the Securities Act to sell any of its Senior Securities, prepare and provide to such Holder the information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4), and (2) it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Senior Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemptions provided by (i) the provisions of the Securities Act or any interpretations thereof or related thereto by the SEC, including transactions based on the so-called “Section 4(1 12)” and other similar transactions, (ii) Rule 144 or 144A under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (iii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC; provided that the Company shall not be required to take any action described in this Section 5.9(a) that would cause the Company to become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company was not subject to such requirements prior to taking such action. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify Treasury, Treasury’s officials, officers, employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates, and each person, if any, that controls Treasury within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnitee”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals incurred in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses), joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any document or report provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.9 or any omission to state therein 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.

(c) If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.9(b) is unavailable to an Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the Indemnitee harmless as contemplated therein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, in connection with the

 

Annex C (General Terms and Conditions)   Page 29


(Subchapter S Corporation)

[Execution Copy]

 

statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; the Company and Treasury agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.9(c) 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 Section 5.9(b). No Indemnitee guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from the Company if the Company was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.10 Depository Senior Securities. Upon request by Treasury at any time following the Closing Date, the Company shall promptly enter into a depositary arrangement, pursuant to customary agreements reasonably satisfactory to Treasury and with a depositary reasonably acceptable to Treasury, pursuant to which the Senior Securities may be deposited.

5.11 Redemption.

(a) The Senior Securities at the time outstanding may be redeemed by the Company at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, in whole or in part and subject to Section 5.11(e), at any time and from time to time, out of funds legally available therefor, upon notice given as provided in Section 5.11(d) below, on any Interest Payment Date (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof being called for redemption (provided that, if less than all of the outstanding Senior Securities are then being redeemed, such amount shall not be less than 25% of the Original Aggregate Principal Amount of the Senior Securities), (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest and CPP Lending Incentive Fees, and (iii) the pro-rata amount of CPP Lending Incentive Fees for the then-current Interest Period.

(b) The redemption price for any Senior Securities shall be payable on the Redemption Date to the Holder of such Senior Securities against surrender thereof to the Company or its agent. Interest shall be paid at the then Applicable Interest Rate from the date of the last Interest Payment Date up to but not including the Redemption Date.

(c) No Sinking Fund. The Senior Securities will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Senior Securities will have no right to require redemption or repurchase of any of the Senior Securities.

(d) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption of the Senior Securities shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holders of record of the Senior Securities to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the Senior Securities Register. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date. Any notice mailed as provided in this subsection shall be conclusively

 

Annex C (General Terms and Conditions)   Page 30


(Subchapter S Corporation)

[Execution Copy]

 

presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any Holder of Senior Securities designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Senior Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Senior Securities are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may be given to the Holders of Senior Securities at such time and in any manner permitted by such facility. Each notice of redemption given to a Holder shall state: (1) the Redemption Date; (2) the amount of Senior Securities to be redeemed by such Holder; (3) the redemption price; and (4) the place or places where such Senior Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

(e) Partial Redemption. The Company may redeem less than all of the outstanding Senior Securities, provided that the amount called for redemption at any time is not less than 25% of the amount of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Securities. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which Senior Securities shall be redeemed from time to time. If less than the full aggregate principal amount of any Senior Security is redeemed, the Company shall issue a new Senior Security in the unredeemed aggregate principal amount thereof without charge to the Holder thereof. Senior Securities may be redeemed in part only on a pro rata basis and only in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

(f) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the Redemption Date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been deposited by the Company, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of the Senior Securities called for redemption, with a bank or trust company doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and having a capital and surplus of at least $500 million and selected by the Board of Directors, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then, notwithstanding that any Senior Security so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on the aggregate principal amount of such Senior Securities so called for redemption, the aggregate principal amount of such Senior Securities so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption Date. All rights with respect to such Senior Securities (or the portion thereof so called for redemption) shall forthwith on such Redemption Date cease and terminate, except only the right of the Holders thereof to receive the redemption price payable on such redemption from such bank or trust company, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of three years from the Redemption Date shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be released to the Company, after which time the Holders of such Senior Securities (or portion thereof so called for redemption) shall look only to the Company for payment of the redemption price of such Senior Securities.

(g) Status of Redeemed Securities. Senior Securities that are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Company shall be cancelled and shall not thereafter be reissued by the Company.

(h) Conversion. Holders of Senior Securities shall have no right to exchange or convert any Senior Securities into any other securities.

  (iii) No interest may be paid on any Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with, or junior to, the Senior Securities with respect to the payment of interest.

(c) Obligations of the Board of Directors After Four Missed Payments. Whenever interest on the Senior Securities has not been paid for four quarterly interest periods or more, whether or not consecutive, and during such time the Company was not subject to a regulatory determination that prohibits the payment of interest, the board of directors of the Company must certify, in writing, that the Company used best efforts to pay such quarterly interest in a manner consistent with safe and sound banking practices and the directors’ fiduciary obligations.

(d) Board Observation Rights. Whenever, at any time or times, interest on the Senior Securities has not been paid in full within five (5) business days after each Interest Payment Date for an aggregate of five (5) Interest Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the Company shall invite a representative selected by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Senior Securities, voting as a single class, to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its directors in connection with such meetings; provided, that the holders of the Senior Securities shall not be obligated to select such a representative, nor shall such representative, if selected, be obligated to attend any meeting to which he/she is invited.

Upon any termination of the right of the Holders of Senior Securities (as a class) to vote for directors as provided above, the Senior Securities Directors shall cease to be qualified as directors, the term of office of all Senior Securities Directors then in office shall terminate immediately and the authorized number of directors shall be reduced by the number of Senior Securities Directors elected pursuant hereto. Any Senior Securities Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and any vacancy created thereby may be filled, only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Securities at the time outstanding voting separately as a class. If the office of any Senior Securities Director becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Securities, voting as a class, may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

It is understood that the provisions of this Article VI are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Senior Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior Indebtedness on the other hand.

(b) Nothing contained in this Article VI or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Senior Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders of the Senior Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Senior Securities the principal of and interest on the Senior Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Senior Securities and creditors of the Company, as the case may be, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Holder of any Senior Securities from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Agreement, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article VI of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

(c) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration (including a resale of Registrable Securities from an effective Shelf Registration Statement) or an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2 of this Annex E: (A) with respect to securities that are not Registrable Securities; or (B) if the Company has notified all Holders that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its security holders for such registration or underwritten offering to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such registration for a period of not more than 45 days after receipt of the request of any Holder; provided that such right to delay a registration or underwritten offering shall be exercised by the Company (1) only if the Company has generally exercised (or is concurrently exercising) similar black-out rights against holders of similar securities that have registration rights and (2) not more than three times in any 12-month period and not more than 90 days in the aggregate in any 12-month period.

(d) If during any period when an effective Shelf Registration Statement is not available, the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities, other than a registration pursuant to Section 2(a) of this Annex E or a Special Registration, and the registration form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of Registrable Securities, the Company will give prompt written notice to all Holders of its intention to effect such a registration (but in no event less than ten days prior to the anticipated filing date) and will include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten business days after the date of the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Any such person that has made such a written request may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth business day prior to the planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company may terminate or withdraw any registration under this Section 2(d) of this Annex E prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not any Holders have elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration.

(e) If the registration referred to in Section 2(d) of this Annex E is proposed to be underwritten, the Company will so advise all Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2(d) of this Annex E. In such event, the right of all Holders to registration pursuant to Section 2 of this Annex E will be conditioned upon such persons’ participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such person’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting if such securities are of the same class of securities as the securities to be offered in the underwritten offering, and each such person will (together with the Company and the other persons distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company; provided that Treasury (as opposed to other Holders) shall not be required to indemnify any person in connection with any registration. If any participating person disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriters and Treasury (if Treasury is participating in the underwriting).

(f) If either (x) the Company grants “piggyback” registration rights to one or more third parties to include their securities in an underwritten offering under the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Annex E or (y) a Piggyback Registration under Section 2(d) of this Annex E relates to an underwritten offering on behalf of the Company, and in either case the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Company will include in such offering only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (A) first, in the case of a Piggyback Registration under Section 2(d) of this Annex E, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (B) then the Registrable Securities of all Holders who have requested inclusion of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(b) or Section 2(d) of this Annex E, as applicable, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of such securities or shares owned by each such Holder and (C) lastly, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included, subject to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Company has, prior to the Signing Date, entered into an agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the order of priority contemplated hereby then it shall apply the order of priority in such conflicting agreement to the extent that it would otherwise result in a breach under such agreement.

3. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the aggregate offering or sale price of the securities so registered.

4. Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities or facilitate the distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:

(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment with respect to a proposed offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, subject to Section 4 of this Annex E, keep such registration statement effective and keep such prospectus supplement current until the securities described therein are no longer Registrable Securities.

(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the applicable registration statement and the prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.

 

Annex E (Registration Rights)   Page 4


(Subchapter S Corporation)

[Execution Copy]

 

(c) Furnish to the Holders and any underwriters such number of copies of the applicable registration statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (including in each case all exhibits) and of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned or to be distributed by them.

(d) Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders or any managing underwriter(s), to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect, and to take any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such Holder; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

(e) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the applicable prospectus, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

(f) Give written notice to the Holders:

(i) when any registration statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC (except for any amendment effected by the filing of a document with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act) and when such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

(iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the applicable Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

(v) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in any effective registration statement or the prospectus related to the registration statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made); and

(vi) if at any time the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any underwriting agreement contemplated by Section 4(j) of this Annex E cease to be true and correct.

(g) Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement referred to in Section 4(f)(iii) of this Annex E at the earliest practicable time.

(h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4(e) or 4(f)(v) of this Annex E, promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders and any underwriters, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with Section 4(f)(v) to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Holders and any underwriters shall suspend use of such prospectus and use their reasonable best efforts to return to the Company all copies of such prospectus (at the Company’s expense) other than permanent file copies then in such Holders’ or underwriters’ possession. The total number of days that any such suspension may be in effect in any 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days.

(i) Use reasonable best efforts to procure the cooperation of the Company’s transfer agent in settling any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including with respect to the transfer of physical stock certificates into book-entry form in accordance with any procedures reasonably requested by the Holders or any managing underwriter(s).

(j) If an underwritten offering is requested pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Annex E, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, scope and substance and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith or by the managing underwriter(s), if any, to expedite or facilitate the underwritten disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in connection therewith in any underwritten offering (including making members of management and executives of the Company available to participate in “road shows”, similar sales events and other marketing activities), (A) make such representations and warranties to the Holders that are selling stockholders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Shelf Registration Statement, prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in customary form, substance and scope, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested, (B) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish the underwriters with opinions of counsel to the Company, addressed to the managing underwriter(s), if any, covering the matters customarily covered in such opinions requested in underwritten offerings, (C) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any business

(k) Make available for inspection by a representative of Holders that are selling stockholders, the managing underwriter(s), if any, and any attorneys or accountants retained by such Holders or managing underwriter(s), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information in each case reasonably requested (and of the type customarily provided in connection with due diligence conducted in connection with a registered public offering of securities) by any such representative, managing underwriter(s), attorney or accountant in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement.

(l) Use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each national securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or, if no similar securities issued by the Company are then listed on any national securities exchange, use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on such securities exchange as Treasury may designate.

(m) If requested by Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and/or sold in connection therewith, or the managing underwriter(s), if any, promptly include in a prospectus supplement or amendment such information as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and/or sold in connection therewith or managing underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received such request.

(n) Timely provide to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

Annex E (Registration Rights)   Page 7


(Subchapter S Corporation)

[Execution Copy]

 

Securities until such Holder has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus or prospectus supplement, or until such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. The total number of days that any such suspension may be in effect in any 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days.

6. Termination of Registration Rights. A Holder’s registration rights as to any securities held by such Holder (and its Affiliates, partners, members and former members) shall not be available unless such securities are Registrable Securities.

7. Furnishing Information.

(a) No Holder shall use any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Company.

(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 4 of this Annex E that the selling Holders and the underwriters, if any, shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registered offering of their Registrable Securities.

8. Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify each Holder and, if a Holder is a person other than an individual, such Holder’s officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates, and in the case of Treasury, Treasury’s officials, and each person, if any, that controls a Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnitee”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals incurred in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses), joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or any documents incorporated therein by reference or contained in any free writing prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule 405) prepared by the Company or authorized by it in writing for use by such Holder (or any amendment or supplement thereto); or any omission to state therein 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; provided, that the Company shall not be liable to such Indemnitee in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (A) an untrue statement or omission made in such registration statement, including any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any

 

Annex E (Registration Rights)   Page 8


(Subchapter S Corporation)

[Execution Copy]

 

such amendments or supplements thereto or contained in any free writing prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule 405) prepared by the Company or authorized by it in writing for use by such Holder (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with information regarding such Indemnitee or its plan of distribution or ownership interests which was furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnitee for use in connection with such registration statement, including any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto, or (B) offers or sales effected by or on behalf of such Indemnitee “by means of” (as defined in Rule 159A) a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the Company.

(b) If the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) of this Annex E is unavailable to an Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the Indemnitee harmless as contemplated therein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; the Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(b) of this Annex E 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 Section 8(a) of this Annex E. No Indemnitee guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from the Company if the Company was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

9. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of Treasury to registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 of this Annex E may be assigned by Treasury to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities; provided, however, the transferor shall, within ten days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the number and type of Registrable Securities that are being assigned.

10. Clear Market. With respect to any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities by Holders pursuant to this Annex E, the Company agrees not to effect (other than pursuant to such registration or pursuant to a Special Registration) any public sale or distribution, or to file any Shelf Registration Statement (other than such registration or a Special Registration) covering any senior securities of the Company or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for senior securities of the Company, during the period not to exceed ten days prior and 60 days following the effective date of such offering or such longer period up to 90 days as may be requested by the managing underwriter for such underwritten offering. The Company

 

Annex E (Registration Rights)   Page 9


(Subchapter S Corporation)

[Execution Copy]

 

also agrees to cause such of its directors and senior executive officers to execute and deliver customary lock-up agreements in such form and for such time period up to 90 days as may be requested by the managing underwriter.

11. Forfeiture of Rights. At any time, any holder of Registrable Securities (including any Holder) may elect to forfeit its rights set forth in this Annex E from that date forward; provided, that a Holder forfeiting such rights shall nonetheless be entitled to participate under Section 2(d) – (f) of this Annex E in any Pending Underwritten Offering to the same extent that such Holder would have been entitled to if the Holder had not withdrawn; and provided, further, that no such forfeiture shall terminate a Holder’s rights or obligations under Section 7 of this Annex E with respect to any prior registration or Pending Underwritten Offering.

12. Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if the Company fails to perform any of its obligations under this Annex E and that Holders from time to time may be irreparably harmed by any such failure, and accordingly agree that such Holders, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, to the fullest extent permitted and enforceable under applicable law shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this Annex E in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Annex E.

13. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company shall not, on or after the Signing Date, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that may impair the rights granted to Holders under this Annex E or that otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof in any manner that may impair the rights granted to Holders under this Annex E. In the event the Company has, prior to the Signing Date, entered into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to Holders under this Annex E (including agreements that are inconsistent with the order of priority contemplated by Section 2(f) of Annex E) or that may otherwise conflict with the provisions hereof, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to amend such agreements to ensure they are consistent with the provisions of this Annex E.

14. Certain Offerings by Treasury. An “underwritten” offering or other disposition shall include any distribution of such securities on behalf of Treasury by one or more broker-dealers, an “underwriting agreement” shall include any purchase agreement entered into by such broker-dealers, and any “registration statement” or “prospectus” shall include any offering document approved by the Company and used in connection with such distribution.
