No registration of Registrable Securities under Section 2.2 shall be deemed to be a registration for any purpose of this Section 2.4.2 which shall not have become and remained effective in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

2.5. Payment of Expenses. The Company hereby agrees to pay all Registration Expenses in connection with all registrations effected pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of such registration proceeding if the registration request is withdrawn at any time at the request of the Majority Participating Holders, and all participating Holders shall bear such expenses, unless the Majority Participating Holders agree to treat such withdrawn registration as a registration which was effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2, as the case may be, which agreement shall bind all Holders of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from

that known to the Holders at the time the demand for registration was made or if there shall have occurred a material adverse change in market conditions from those existing as such time in the good faith judgment of the Majority Participating Holders makes it undesirable to proceed with the proposed offering, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses. The withdrawn registration shall not count as a registration effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2, as the case may be.

3. Piggyback Registration. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its Equity Securities under the Securities Act, for its own account or for the account of any holder of its securities other than Registrable Securities, on a form which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, or proposes to register any securities in a so-called “unallocated” or “universal” shelf registration statement and such registration would permit registration of Registrable Securities thereunder, the Company will each such time give notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so. Such notice shall describe such securities and specify the form, manner and other relevant aspects of such proposed registration. Any such Holder may, by written response delivered to the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, request that all or a specified part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder be included in such registration. The Company thereupon will use its best efforts as a part of its filing of such form to cause to be included in such registration under the Securities Act all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders of Registrable Securities, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the methods to be used by the Company or other holders of securities in such registration) of the Registrable Securities to be so registered. The Company shall be under no obligation to complete any offering of its securities it proposes to make and shall incur no liability to any Holder for its failure to do so. No registration of Registrable Securities effected under this Section 3 shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations to effect registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2 hereof.

3.1. Excluded Transactions. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3 incidental to the registration of any of its securities in connection with any mergers, acquisitions or exchange offers or in connection with any dividend reinvestment plans or stock option or other employee benefit plans.

4.1.2. Amendments and Supplements to Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the Commission 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 and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, covered by such registration statement until such time as all such Registrable Securities have been disposed of by the seller or sellers thereof in accordance with the intended methods of disposition set forth in such registration statement (but in no event for a period of more than 180 days after such registration statement becomes effective which 180 day period shall be extended by the number of days that the sale of Registrable Securities is suspended as described in Section 4.4).

4.1.3. Cooperation. Use its best efforts to cooperate as may be reasonably requested by the seller of such Registrable Securities in the disposition of the Common Stock covered by such registration statement, including without limitation in the case of an underwritten offering causing key executives of the Company to participate under the direction of the managing underwriter in a “road show” scheduled by such managing underwriter in such locations and of such duration as in the reasonable judgment of such managing underwriter are appropriate for such underwritten offering.

4.1.4. Furnishing of Copies of Registration Statements and Other Documents. Furnish to each seller of such Registrable Securities such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), each in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, such documents incorporated by reference in such registration statement or prospectus and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities of such seller covered by such registration statement.

4.1.5. State Securities Laws. Use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable each seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities of such seller covered by such registration statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or subject the Company to taxation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or would not otherwise be so subject.

4.1.6. Opinion of Counsel; Comfort Letter. Use its best efforts to obtain all legal opinions, auditors consents and comfort letters and experts cooperation as may be required, including furnishing to each underwriter of Registrable Securities on the date that the registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel for the Company and (ii) a “cold comfort” letter, dated as of such date, signed by the independent public accountants of the Company, in each case in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering.

4.1.7. Notice of Prospectus Defects. Immediately notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, 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 prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such seller prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

 

-11-


4.1.8. Stop Orders. In the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement, or any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Registrable Securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, use its best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order.

4.1.9. General Compliance with Federal Securities Laws; Section 11(a) Earning Statement. Otherwise use its best efforts to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and all other applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its securities holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months after the effective date of such registration statement, which earning statement shall satisfy Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and any applicable regulations thereunder, including Rule 158.

4.1.10. Underwriting Agreement. In the event of any underwritten offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering.

4.1.11. Exchange Listing. Use its best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which any equity security of the Company is then listed or, if the Company does not have a class of Equity Securities listed on a national securities exchange, apply for qualification and use its best efforts to qualify such Registrable Securities for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market or comparable trading system.

4.1.12. Due Diligence. Make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, 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 reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement, in each case subject to the requirement that recipients execute appropriate confidentiality agreements.

4.1.13. Transfer Agent. Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement.

4.1.14. Legend. The Company shall be obligated to reissue promptly unlegended certificates or other evidence of ownership at the request of any Holder thereof if the Company has completed its Initial Public Offering or in connection with a sale of Registrable Securities by a Holder pursuant to Rule 144 and, in each case, such Holder shall have obtained an opinion of counsel, which counsel may be counsel to the Company, reasonably acceptable to the Company (it being understood that (i) internal securities counsel of Fidelity shall be deemed acceptable for transfers by Fidelity, (ii) internal securities counsel of Franklin shall be deemed acceptable for transfers by Franklin, and (iii) internal securities counsel of T. Rowe Price shall be deemed acceptable for transfers by the T. Rowe Price Investors) to the effect that the securities proposed to be disposed of may be lawfully disposed of without registration, qualification and legend.

4.2. Participation by Selling Holders. The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish the Company such information regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing and which shall be required by the Securities Act (or similar state laws) or by the Commission in connection therewith.

 

-12-


4.3. Conversion only Upon Consummation of Offering. No Holder shall be required by this Agreement to convert any Registrable Security into Common Stock except at the applicable closing or closings of an underwritten registered offering and except upon the sale of such Registrable Security in the case of other registered offerings.

4.4. Discontinue Selling. Each seller of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon written notice of (i) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) the issuance of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement, such seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement until such seller is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and if applicable is furnished with a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 4.1.7 hereof. If the Company shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a prospectus, the Company shall extend the period of time during which the Company is required to maintain the registration statement effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date such seller either is advised by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed or if applicable receives the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4.1.7.

5. Additional Procedures in Connection with Underwritten Offerings; Cutbacks.

5.1. Registrations Upon Request Pursuant to Section 2. In the case of a registration pursuant to Section 2 hereof, whenever the Majority Participating Holders shall request that such registration shall be effected pursuant to an underwritten offering, such registration shall be so effected, and only securities which are to be distributed by the underwriters, which underwriters shall be designated by the Majority Participating Holders and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, may be included in such registration. If requested by such underwriters, the Company and each participating seller will enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering containing such representations and warranties by the Company and such participating sellers and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including, without limitation, customary indemnity and contribution provisions; provided, however, that the liability of each Holder in respect of any indemnification, contribution or other obligation of such Holder arising under such underwriting agreement (i) shall be limited to losses arising out of or based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other such disclosure document or other document or report, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for inclusion therein and (ii) shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by such Holder pursuant to such registration.

5.2. Piggyback Registrations Pursuant to Section 3. In connection with the exercise of any registration rights granted to Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3 hereof, if the registration is to be effected by means of an underwritten offering of Common Stock on a firm commitment basis, the Company may condition participation in such registration by such Holders upon inclusion of the Registrable Securities being so registered in such underwriting. The Holders of Registrable Securities participating in any registration pursuant to Section 3 shall be parties to the underwriting agreement entered into by the Company and any other selling stockholders in connection therewith containing such representations and warranties by the Company and such participating sellers and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions,

 

-13-


including, without limitation, customary indemnity and contribution provisions; provided, however, that the liability of each Holder in respect of any indemnification, contribution or other obligation of such Holder arising under such underwriting agreement (i) shall be limited to losses arising out of or based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other such disclosure document or other document or report, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for inclusion therein and (ii) shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by such Holder pursuant to such registration.

5.3. Cutbacks.

5.3.1. Section 2 Cutbacks. If the managing underwriter advises the Company that the number of shares to be included in a registration pursuant to Section 2 should be limited due to market conditions, (i) all shares other than Registrable Securities shall first be excluded, and (ii) thereafter, if additional shares must be excluded from such registration, all Holders of Registrable Securities, shall share pro rata in the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be excluded from such registration pursuant to this clause (ii), such sharing to be based on the respective numbers of Registrable Securities owned by such Holders.

5.3.2. Section 3 Cutbacks. If the managing underwriter advises the Company that the number of shares to be included in a registration pursuant to Section 3 should be limited due to market conditions, (i) all shares of securities held by shareholders of the Company other than Holders of Registrable Securities shall first be excluded, (ii) next, if additional shares must be excluded from such registration, all Holders of Registrable Securities shall share pro rata in the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be excluded from such registration pursuant to this clause (ii), such sharing to be based on the respective numbers of Registrable Securities owned by such Holders and (iii) thereafter, if additional shares must be excluded from such registration, shares to be sold for the account of the Company shall be excluded; provided, however, that no exclusion provided for herein shall reduce the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration to an amount that is less than twenty five percent (25%) of the total amount of shares to be included in such registration based on aggregate market value, unless in connection with the Initial Public Offering and no other shareholders of the Company have shares included in such registration.

6. Indemnification and Contribution.

6.1. Indemnities of the Company. In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof, and in connection with any registration statement or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with any such registration, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities, their respective direct and indirect partners, members, stockholders, directors, advisory board members, officers, investment advisors, representatives on the Board of Directors of the Company, and each other Person, if any, who controls or is alleged to control any such Holder of Registrable Securities, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such Person being referred to herein as a “Covered Person”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Covered Person may be or become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other securities or other law of any jurisdiction, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any such registration statement under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any related summary prospectus, free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document

 

-14-


incorporated by reference therein, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or other document or report, and will reimburse such Covered Person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any selling Holder in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other such disclosure document or other document or report, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company relating to such selling Holder by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for inclusion therein. The indemnities of the Company contained in this Section 6.1 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Covered Person and shall survive any transfer of Registrable Securities.

6.2. Indemnities to the Company. In the event of any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or 3, each selling Holder will, and hereby does, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign such registration statement and each other Person (other than such seller), if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any statement in or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus included therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any free writing prospectus, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any other such disclosure document (including without limitation reports and other documents filed under the Exchange Act and any document incorporated by reference therein) or other document or report, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to such selling Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for inclusion therein. Such indemnity contained in this Section 6.2 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive any transfer of Registrable Securities.

6.3. Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim of the type referred to in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party, give written notice to each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice to such indemnifying party as provided herein shall not relieve such indemnifying party of its obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, except and solely to the extent that such indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, each indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to such an indemnifying party), and after notice from an indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if the indemnified party in good faith determines that there may be a conflict between the positions of such indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of such action or that there may be defenses available to such indemnified party different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party, then (i) counsel for the indemnified party shall

 

-15-


conduct the defense of the indemnified party to the extent in good faith determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of the indemnified party and such indemnifying party shall employ separate counsel for its own defense, (ii) the indemnified party shall be entitled to have counsel chosen by such indemnified party participate in, but not conduct, the defense and (iii) the indemnifying party shall bear the legal expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the conduct of, and the participation in, the defense as referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above. If, within a reasonable time after receipt of the notice, such indemnifying party shall not have elected to assume the defense of the action, such indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation, and no indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

6.4. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof is unavailable to a party that would have been an indemnified party under any such Section in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each party that would have been an indemnifying party thereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnifying party on the one hand and such indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof). The relative fault shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or such indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentence. The amount paid or payable by a contributing party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 6.4 shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

6.5. Limitation on Liability of Holders of Registrable Securities. The liability of each Holder in respect of any indemnification or contribution obligation of such Holder arising under this Section 6 shall not in any event exceed an aggregate amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions and any other damages payable by such Holder in connection with such registration) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by such Holder pursuant to such registration less any other damages paid by such Holder with respect to claims relating to such registration.

7. Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, and with a view to making it possible for Holders to register the Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

 

-16-


(a) use its best efforts to make and keep adequate current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times commencing after the effective date of the registration statement for its Initial Public Offering;

(b) use its best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request (1) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance or non-compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time more than 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement for its Initial Public Offering), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or as to its qualification as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (2) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (3) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

8. Assignment of Registration Rights. The consent of the Company shall not be required for an assignment by any Holder to (a) any Person or entity to which shares of Series Preferred Stock are transferred by such Holder, (b) to any Affiliate of such Holder, (c) with respect to Fidelity, to any other entity managed by a registered investment advisor holding shares of the Company’s capital stock originally purchased by Fidelity (or issued upon conversion thereof) or pursuant to a merger or reorganization of a U.S. registered mutual fund advised or sub-advised by Fidelity or any affiliated investment advisor of Fidelity whether or not such Person would be an Affiliate as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, (d) with respect to Franklin, to any other entity managed by a registered investment advisor holding shares of the Company’s capital stock originally purchased by Franklin (or issued upon conversion thereof) or pursuant to a merger or reorganization of a U.S. registered mutual fund advised or sub-advised by Franklin or any affiliated investment advisor of Franklin whether or not such Person would be an Affiliate as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, or (e) with respect to each T. Rowe Price Investor, to any other entity managed by a registered investment advisor holding shares of the Company’s capital stock originally purchased by the T. Rowe Price Investors (or issued upon conversion thereof) or pursuant to a merger or reorganization of a U.S. registered mutual fund advised or sub-advised by T. Rowe Price or any affiliated investment advisor of T. Rowe Price whether or not such Person would be an Affiliate as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, of the rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 2 and 3. Any transferee to whom rights under this Agreement are transferred shall (i) as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument by which such transferee agrees to be bound by the obligations imposed upon Holders under this Agreement to the same extent as if such transferee were a Holder under this Agreement and (ii) be deemed to be a Holder hereunder.

9. Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights; Termination of Registration Rights.

9.1. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding Series Preferred Stock (subject to the Regulatory Voting Restriction) (or, if no such shares are then outstanding, holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities), enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (i) to make a demand registration prior to an Initial Public Offering or at any time when holders of Registrable Securities are not able to fully exercise their rights hereunder (due to a permitted deferral by the Company or otherwise) or (ii) reduce the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in any registration; provided that this limitation shall not apply to any additional Investor who becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 17.

 

-17-


9.2. The rights granted to each Holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 2 through 10 hereof with respect to any request or requests for registration made by such Holder will terminate upon the earliest of (i) such time after the Initial Public Offering that (a) such Holder owns less than one percent (1%) of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis and (b) all such Registrable Securities held by such Holder may be sold without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the Securities Act (and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1)) and (ii) following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation).

10. Future Changes in Registration Requirements. In the event that the registration requirements under the Securities Act are amended or eliminated to accommodate a “Company registration” or similar approach, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to reflect such changes and the intent of the parties hereto with respect to the benefits and obligations of the parties, and in such connection, the Company shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to provide Holders of Registrable Securities equivalent benefits to those provided under this Agreement.

11. Purchase Rights. The Company agrees as follows:

11.1. Subsequent Offerings. Each Investor and each Key Holder shall have a right of first refusal (the “Purchase Rights”) to purchase its Pro Rata Share of all Equity Securities other than the Equity Securities excluded by Section 11.6 hereof, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.

11.2. Exercise of Rights.

11.2.1. If the Company proposes to issue any Equity Securities, other than Excluded Securities, it shall give each Investor and each Key Holder written notice of its intention, describing the Equity Securities, the price and the terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Investor and each Key Holder shall have thirty (30) days from the giving of such notice to agree to purchase up to its Pro Rata Share of the Equity Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company (the “Company Notice”) and stating therein the quantity of such Equity Securities to be purchased.

11.2.2. If not all of the Investors and Key Holders elect to purchase their Pro Rata Share of the Equity Securities, then the Company shall promptly notify in writing the Investors and Key Holders who have elected to purchase their Pro Rata Share of such Equity Securities and shall offer such Investors and Key Holders (the “Purchasing Investors” and the “Purchasing Key Holders,” and together, the “Purchasing Parties”) the right to acquire such unsubscribed shares; provided that in the event (i) the Company proposes to issue Equity Securities at a price per share greater than the Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) of the Series F Preferred Stock (an “Up Round Financing”) and (ii) any Key Holder does not elect to purchase her full Pro Rata Share of such Equity Securities, the Company shall offer to the Major Investors who are Purchasing Investors the Equity Securities so not elected to be purchased by any Key Holder (“Up Round Key Holder Unallocated Shares”). The Purchasing Parties shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to notify the Company (the “Purchasing Party Notice”) of their election to purchase all or a portion thereof of the unsubscribed shares offered to them pursuant to the foregoing sentence. If the Purchasing Parties have, in the aggregate elected to purchase more than the number of unsubscribed shares being offered in such notice, then the unsubscribed shares shall be allocated according to each Purchasing Party’s Pro Rata Share up to the number of unsubscribed shares set forth in the notice to the Purchasing Parties, provided that for purposes of this Section 11.2.2 “Purchasing Party’s Pro Rata Share” shall be the ratio of (a) the Pro Rata Share of such Purchasing Party to (b) the Pro Rata Shares of all Purchasing Parties (or, with respect to any Up Round Key Holder Unallocated Shares, the Pro Rata Shares of all Major Investors who have elected to purchase

 

-18-


all or a portion thereof of such unsubscribed shares offered to them). The Purchasing Parties shall then effect the purchase of the Equity Securities at the closing of the issuance of Equity Securities described in the notice delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 11.2.1. On the date of such closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchasing Parties the certificates representing the Equity Securities to be purchased by the Purchasing Parties and at such time, the Purchasing Parties shall pay the purchase price for the Equity Securities.

11.3. Issuance of Equity Securities to Other Persons. If the Investors or Key Holders fail to exercise in full their Purchase Rights, the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the Equity Securities in respect of which the Investors’ or the Key Holders’ rights were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to the Investors and Key Holders pursuant to Section 11.2.1 hereof. If the Company has not sold such Equity Securities within such ninety (90) days, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Equity Securities, without first again complying with this Section 11.

11.4. Waiver of Purchase Rights. The Purchase Rights established by this Section 11 may only be amended, or any provision waived, with the written consent of (a) the Investors holding a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding Series Preferred Stock and (b) the Key Holders holding a majority of the Common Stock held by all of the Key Holders; provided, however, that no consent from the Key Holders shall be required for any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Section 11 unless such amendment or waiver adversely affects the rights of or creates additional obligations for the Key Holders under this Agreement (for purposes of this Section 11.4, a “Waiver”).

Rowe Price Investors, the lockup restrictions applicable to any Registrable Securities held by each other Investor, including Fidelity, Franklin and the T. Rowe Price Investors, will be automatically amended to conform to the more favorable lockup restrictions applicable to the shares held by such securityholder.

Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.

27. Treatment of Series C-1 Preferred Stock.

28. Massachusetts Business Trust. A copy of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of each Investor affiliated with Fidelity, or any affiliate thereof, is on file with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and notice is hereby given that this Agreement is executed on behalf of the trustees of such Investor or any affiliate thereof as trustees and not individually and that the obligations of this Agreement are not binding on any of the trustees, officers or stockholders of such Investor or any affiliate thereof individually but are binding only upon such Investor or any affiliate thereof and its assets and property.

29. Confidentiality. Each Investor agrees that such Investor will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge, or use for any purpose (other than to monitor its investment in the Company) any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including notice of the Company’s intention to file a registration statement), unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this section by such Investor), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Investor without use of the Company’s confidential information, or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Investor by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company; provided, however, that an Investor may disclose confidential information (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring its investment in the Company; (ii) to any prospective purchaser of any Registrable Securities from such Investor, if such prospective purchaser agrees to be bound by the provisions of this section, (iii) to any existing Affiliate, partner, limited partner, member, stockholder, or wholly owned subsidiary of such Investor in the ordinary course of business, provided that such Investor informs such Person that such information is confidential and directs such Person to maintain the confidentiality of such information; or (iv) as may otherwise be required by law, provided that the Investor promptly notifies the Company of such disclosure and takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure. To the extent the provisions in this Section 29 conflict with provisions in any confidentiality agreement previously signed by an Investor, the provisions contained herein shall supersede. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth in this Section 29 shall prohibit Franklin, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price or any T. Rowe Price Investor from making any statement or filing required by applicable law (including, without limitation, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), regulation or its standard investment reporting practice, provided that each of Franklin, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price and each T. Rowe Price Investor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior notice (or, in the event prior notice is prohibited by applicable law or

 

-30-


regulation, prompt notice as soon as permitted by applicable law) to the Company of any such statement or filing; provided further that none of Franklin, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price or any T. Rowe Price Investor shall be required to provide prior notice to the Company in connection with Franklin’s, Fidelity’s, T. Rowe Price’s or such T. Rowe Price Investor’s compliance with any statement or filing required by applicable law (including, without limitation, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), regulation or its standard investment reporting practices.
