REGISTRATION RIGHTS

SECTION 3.1 SHELF REGISTRATION.

(a) Initial Shelf Registration Statement. As soon as practicable after Pzena Inc. becomes eligible to file a Form S-3 Registration Statement under the Securities Act, Pzena Inc. shall use its best efforts to file with the SEC a Form S-3 Registration Statement providing for an offering of all Registrable Securities then eligible to be Transferred pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) hereof (i) on the date(s) and in accordance with the method(s) of distribution designated by Pzena Inc. pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) hereof, or (ii) if Pzena Inc. does not designate any such date or method of distribution, on the date(s) and in accordance with the method(s) of distribution proposed by the Holders. Pzena shall use its best efforts to cause the SEC to declare such Form S-3 Registration Statement

effective by such date(s). Pzena Inc. shall use its best efforts to keep such Form S-3 Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) two years after such Form S-3 Registration Statement has been declared effective; and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such Form S-3 Registration Statement have been sold in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in such Form S-3 Registration Statement, or otherwise.

(b) Subsequent Shelf Registration Statements.

(i) On or before each Exchange Closing Date occurring after the initial Exchange Closing Date and prior to the fourth anniversary of the IPO, Pzena Inc. shall use its best efforts to file with the SEC a Form S-3 Registration Statement providing for an offering of all Registrable Securities then eligible to be Transferred pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) hereof (i) on the date(s) and in accordance with the method(s) of distribution designated by Pzena Inc. pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) hereof, or (ii) if Pzena Inc. does not designate any such date or method of distribution, on the date(s) and in accordance with the method(s) of distribution proposed by the Holders. Pzena shall use its best efforts to cause the SEC to declare such Form S-3 Registration Statement effective by such date(s). Pzena Inc. shall use its best efforts to keep such Form S-3 Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) two years after such Form S-3 Registration Statement has been declared effective; and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such Form S-3 Registration Statement have been sold in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in such Form S-3 Registration Statement, or otherwise.

(ii) On or before each Exchange Closing Date occurring after the fourth anniversary of the IPO, Pzena Inc. shall use its best efforts to file with the SEC, and cause the SEC to declare effective, a Form S-3 Registration Statement providing for an offering of all Registrable Securities then eligible to be Transferred pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) hereof in accordance with the method(s) of distribution proposed by the Holders. Pzena Inc. shall use its best efforts to keep each such Form S-3 Registration Statement continuously effective in order to effect the Transfer on or after each Exchange Closing Date of all Registrable Securities then eligible to be transferred pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) hereof.

(c) Suspensions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Pzena Inc. shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing written notice to the Holders, to require such Holders to suspend the use of

the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under any Shelf Registration Statement for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 90 days in succession or 180 days in the aggregate in any 12 month period (a “Suspension Period”) if Pzena Inc. shall determine that it is required to disclose in any such Shelf Registration Statement a financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction or other material event or circumstance affecting Pzena Inc. or its securities, and that the disclosure of such information at such time would be detrimental to Pzena Inc. or the holders of its equity securities. Immediately upon receipt of such notice, the Holders shall suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made as required below. Any Suspension Period shall terminate at such time as the public disclosure of such information is made. After the expiration of any Suspension Period and without any further request from a Holder, Pzena Inc. shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to the applicable Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d) Information Requested from Holders. Not less than ten business days before the expected filing date of each Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement, Pzena Inc. shall notify each Holder of the information, documents and instruments from such Holder that Pzena Inc. or any underwriter reasonably requests in order to include its Registrable Securities in such Shelf Registration Statement, including, but not limited to a questionnaire, custody agreement, power of attorney and, if applicable, a lock-up letter and underwriting agreement (collectively, the “Requested Information”). If Pzena Inc. has not received, on or before the second day before the expected filing date, the Requested Information from such Holder, Pzena Inc. may file such Shelf Registration Statement without including the Registrable Securities of such Holder. The failure to include such Registrable Securities in such Shelf Registration Statement shall not in and of itself result in any liability on the part of Pzena Inc. to such Holder.

(e) No Grant of Future Registration Rights. Pzena Inc. shall not grant any shelf, demand, piggyback or incidental registration rights that are senior to the rights granted to the Holders hereunder to any other Person without the prior written consent of Holders of at least a majority of the number of Registrable

Securities as of the date that Pzena Inc. requests such consent and such consent may be given in the sole discretion of each of the Holders.

SECTION 3.2 WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS.

Any Holder having notified or directed Pzena Inc. to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in a registration statement under the Securities Act shall have the right to withdraw any such notice or direction with respect to any or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration by giving written notice to such effect to Pzena Inc. prior to the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement. In the event of any such withdrawal, Pzena Inc. shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable registration and such Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities for all purposes of this Agreement. No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of Pzena Inc. with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn. If a Holder withdraws its notification or direction to Pzena Inc. to include any of its Registrable Securities in a registration statement in accordance with this Section 3.2, such Holder shall be required to promptly reimburse Pzena Inc. for incremental expenses incurred by Pzena Inc. in connection with preparing for the registration of the Registrable Securities so withdrawn.

but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is caused by and contained in such information so furnished in writing by such Selling Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that each Selling Holder’s obligation to indemnify Pzena Inc. hereunder shall, to the extent more than one Selling Holder is subject to the same indemnification obligation, be apportioned between each Selling Holder based upon the net amount received by each Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities, as compared to the total net amount received by all of the Selling Holders of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Holder shall be liable to Pzena Inc. for amounts in excess of the lesser of (i) such apportionment and (ii) the amount received by such holder in the offering giving rise to such liability.

(c) Notice. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis.

(d) Defense of Actions. In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or is reasonably likely to be prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in connection with retaining separate legal counsel). An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim

effected without its consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). The indemnifying party shall lose its right to defend, contest, litigate and settle a matter if it shall fail to diligently contest such matter (except to the extent settled in accordance with the next following sentence). No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, it being understood that the indemnified party shall not be deemed to be unreasonable in withholding its consent if the proposed settlement imposes any obligation on the indemnified party).

(e) Survival. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified Person and will survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this Agreement.

(f) Contribution. If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective Persons are entitled, there shall be considered the Persons’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby agreed that it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. 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 found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Holder or transferee thereof shall be required to make a contribution in excess of the net amount received by such holder from its sale of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation.

It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions and other equitable remedies to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with respect to such remedy are hereby waived by each of the parties hereto. Each party further agrees that, in the event of any action for an injunction or other equitable remedy in respect of such breach or enforcement of specific performance, it will not assert the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

SECTION 5.8 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. With respect to any suit, action or proceeding (“Proceeding”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and waives any objection to venue being laid in such Court whether based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or otherwise and hereby agrees not to commence any such Proceeding other than before such Court; provided, however, that a party may commence any Proceeding in a court other than such Court solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by such Court; (ii) consents to service of process in any Proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by recognized international express carrier or delivery service, to Pzena Inc. or the Holders at their respective addresses referred to in Section 5.1 hereof; provided, however, that nothing herein shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law; and (iii) TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN
