The Company will enter into a customary underwriting agreement with those investment banker(s) and manager(s).
(f) Priority on Demand Registrations. If the managing underwriters give the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities being registered a written opinion that the number
SPS Registration Rights Agreement [Amended and Restated April 2007] | Page 3 |
of Registrable Securities requested to be included exceeds the number of securities that can be sold, the Company will include in the registration only the number of Registrable Securities that the underwriters believe can be sold. The number of securities registered will be allocated on a pro rata basis among the holders of Registrable Securities on the basis of the total number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration.
(g) Delay in Filing. The Company may delay the filing of the registration statement in connection with a Demand Registration for a period of not more than 120 calendar days upon the advice of the investment banker(s) and manager(s) that will administer the offering that a delay is necessary or appropriate under the circumstances to prevent a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company may not use this right to delay more than once during the term of this Agreement.
(h) Limited Piggyback Right on Demand Registrations.
(i) Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities demand a Demand Registration, the Company may notify in writing the other holders of securities of the same type as the Registrable Securities that are to be registered not later than the earlier to occur of (A) the fifth Business Day following the Companys receipt of notice of exercise of the Demand Registration right or (B) 45 calendar days prior to the anticipated filing date.
(ii) The Company may include in the Demand Registration securities of the same type and class to be sold for its own account or held by other holders, but only to the extent that the managing underwriters give the Company their written opinion that the total number or dollar amount of securities requested to be included can be sold. If the number or dollar amount of securities requested to be sold exceeds the amount that in the opinion of the managing underwriters can be sold, the Company will include in the registration: (A) first, up to all Registrable Securities (allocated on a pro rata basis among the holders of Registrable Securities on the basis of the total number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration), (B) second, up to the full number or dollar amount of securities requested to be included for the account of the Company, and (C) third, up to the full number or dollar amount of securities requested to be included in the registration in excess of the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities to be registered (allocated on a pro rata basis among the holders of the securities in such proportions as the Company and those holders may agree).
(iii) The holders of securities (including the Company) other than Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to this Section 3(h) will enter into the same agreement with the managing underwriters as do the holders of the Registrable Securities.
(iv) If the Company registers any of its securities on its own behalf in a Demand Registration (in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(h)), that Demand Registration will not count (i) toward the limit on Demand Registrations set forth in Section 3(b) or (ii) for the purpose of determining the number of Demand Registrations for which the Company is required under Section 3(h) to pay all Registration Expenses, and the Company will pay all of the Registration Expenses of that registration.
(v) If any of the holders of any other securities of the Company register those securities in a Demand Registration in accordance with this Section 3(h), those holders will pay the fees and expenses of their counsel and their share on a pro rata basis of the Registration Expenses not paid by the Company for any reason.
Section 4. Piggyback Registrations.
(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (except for the registration of securities to be offered pursuant to an employee benefit plan on Form S-8 or pursuant to a registration made on Form S-4, or any successor forms then in effect) at any time other than pursuant to a Demand Registration and the registration form to
SPS Registration Rights Agreement [Amended and Restated April 2007] | Page 4 |
be used may be used for the registration of the Registrable Securities (a Piggyback Registration), it will so notify in writing all holders of Registrable Securities not later than the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth Business Day following the Companys receipt of notice of exercise of other demand registration rights, or (ii) 30 calendar days prior to the anticipated filing date. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4(c) and (d), the Company will include in the Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within 15 Business Days after the applicable holders receipt of the Companys notice. The holders of Registrable Securities may withdraw all or any part of the Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration at any time before five Business Days prior to the effective date of the Piggyback Registration. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering effected under Section 4(c), all Persons whose securities are included in the Piggyback Registration must sell their securities on the same terms and conditions as apply to the securities being issued and sold by the Company. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering effected under Section 4(d), all Persons whose securities are included in the Piggyback Registration must sell their securities on the same terms and conditions as apply to the securities being sold by the Person(s) initiating the Piggyback Registration. A registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4 will not be counted as a Demand Registration under Section 3.
(b) Piggyback Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each Piggyback Registration.
(c) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriters give the Company their written opinion that the total number or dollar amount of securities requested to be included in the registration exceeds the number or dollar amount of securities that can be sold, the Company will include the securities in the registration in the following order of priority: (i) first, all securities the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, up to the full number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration (allocated on a pro rata basis among the holders of Registrable Securities on the basis of the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities requested to be included); and (iii) third, any other securities (provided they are of the same class as the securities sold by the Company) requested to be included, allocated among the holders of securities in such proportions as the Company and those holders may agree.
(d) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Companys securities, and the managing underwriters give the Company their written opinion that the dollar amount or number of securities requested to be included in the registration exceeds the dollar amount or number of securities that can be sold, the Company will include in the registration: (i) to the extent of 50% of the number or dollar amount of securities other than Registrable Securities that in the underwriters opinion can be sold, the securities requested to be included in the registration, allocated among the holders of those securities in such proportions as the Company and those holders may agree, and (ii) to the extent of the balance, the Registrable Securities requested to be included, allocated on a pro rata basis among the holders of Registrable Securities on the basis of the dollar amount or number of securities requested to be included. If after including all of the Registrable Securities the underwriters determine that there are additional securities that can be sold, then securities other than the foregoing may be added to the registration.
(e) Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, the Company will select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) that will administer the offering, as long as the investment banker(s) and manager(s) are reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a Majority of the Registrable Securities. The Company and the holders of Registrable Securities participating in the offering will enter into a customary underwriting agreement with the investment banker(s) and manager(s).

of a
of a
SPS Registration Rights Agreement [Amended and Restated April 2007] | Page 9 |
material fact required to be stated in the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission is contained in or omitted from any information or affidavit the holder furnished in writing, or resulting from the holders failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to any purchaser after the Company has furnished the holder with a sufficient number of copies of the relevant documents; provided, however, that the obligations of any holder of Registrable Securities hereunder will be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds to such holder of the sale of securities pursuant to the applicable registration statement as contemplated herein.

(d) Contribution to Joint Liability. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any holder of Registrable Securities exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling Person of any such holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact this Section 8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling holder or any such controlling Person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 8; then, and in each such case, the Company and such holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities that they may be subject to (after contribution to others) in such proportion so that such holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registered Securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement, and the Company is responsible for the remaining portion; provided, however, that in any such case, (A) no such holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registered Securities offered by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Section 9. Rule 144 and Rule 144A; Company Obligations. If the Company files a registration statement pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act or Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any holder of Registrable
SPS Registration Rights Agreement [Amended and Restated April 2007] | Page 10 |
Securities, make publicly available other information), and it will take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities reasonably may request, all to the extent required from time to time, to enable the holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act as amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to the holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with Rule 144 or any successor rule requirements. The Company also covenants that it will provide all such information and it will take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities reasonably may request to enable the holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as amended from time to time, or any successor rule requirements.
Section 10. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any underwritten registration without (a) agreeing to sell securities on the basis provided in underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (the holders of the Registrable Securities in a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 3(d) and the Company in a Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 4(e)), and (b) completing and executing all questionnaires, powers of attorneys, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required by the underwriting arrangements.
Section 11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Adjustments Affecting Securities.

(b) Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written agreement executed by the Company and the holders of (i) at least 66.67% of the then issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) the holders of at least 66.67% of the then issued and outstanding Series B and Series C Preferred Stock (taken together as a single class on an as-if converted to Common Stock basis).
(c) Attorneys Fees. In any legal action or proceeding brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses, charges, court costs, and attorneys fees in addition to any other available remedy at law or in equity.
(d) Benefit of Parties; Assignability. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including without limitation all subsequent holders of securities entitled to the benefits of this Agreement who agree in writing to become bound by the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, the Company may not delegate its responsibilities or assign its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the holders of at least 66.67% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series.
(e) Cooperation. The parties agree that after execution of this Agreement they will from time to time, upon the request of any other party and without other consideration, execute, acknowledge, and deliver in proper form any further instruments and take such other action as any other party may reasonably require to carry out effectively the intent of this Agreement.

(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature and simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

There are no representations, promises, warranties, covenants, or undertakings other than those expressly set forth or provided for herein and therein. This Agreement and the Voting and Co-Sale Agreement supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and therein. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement amends, supersedes and restates in its entirety the 2003 Registration Rights Agreement.
(i) Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of Delaware will govern all questions concerning the relative rights of the Company and its stockholders. Delaware law also will govern the interpretation, construction, and enforcement of this Agreement and all transactions and agreements contemplated hereby, notwithstanding any states choice of law rules to the contrary.
(j) Interpretation. The terms and conditions of this Agreement represent the results of bargaining and negotiations among the parties, each of which has the opportunity to be represented by counsel of its own selection, and none of which has acted under duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise, and represent the results of a combined draftsmanship effort. Consequently, the terms and conditions hereof will be interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings and the parties hereby expressly waive and disclaim in connection with the interpretation and construction hereof any rule of law or procedures requiring otherwise, specifically including but not limited to any rule of law to the effect that ambiguous or conflicting terms or conditions contained herein will be interpreted or construed against the party whose counsel prepared this Agreement or any earlier draft hereof.
(k) Listing. If the Common Stock is listed for trading on any national securities exchange, that listing will include all of the Registrable Securities (to the extent permitted by the rules of the exchange).
(l) No Inconsistent Agreements. Except with the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of at least a majority of the then issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, each considered separately as a series, and the holders of at least a majority of the then issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a class, the Company will not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that will grant to any Person registration rights that are senior to, are in conflict with, or will interfere with the practical realization of the rights provided under this Agreement except as disclosed on Schedule 3.2 to the Stock Purchase Agreement.
(m) Notices. All notices, requests, demands, or other communications that are required or may be given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be in writing and delivery will be deemed sufficient in all respects and to have been duly given on the date of service if delivered personally by overnight courier or by facsimile transmission if receipt is confirmed to the party to whom notice is to be given, or on the third day after mailing if mailed by first-class mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and properly addressed to the most recent respective address set forth in the 2003 Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreement, the 2006 Purchase Agreement or the Stock Purchase Agreement or to such other addresses as the respective parties hereto may from time to time designate to the others in writing.
SPS Registration Rights Agreement [Amended and Restated April 2007] | Page 12 |
(n) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, that provision will be ineffective only to the extent of the prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.
(o) Specific Performance. Each of the parties agrees that damages for a breach of or default under this Agreement would be inadequate and that in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity the parties and their successors and assigns will be entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief, or both, in the event of a breach or a threatened breach of this Agreement.
(p) Table of Contents and Captions. The table of contents and captions of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are solely for convenient reference and will not be deemed to affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.
(q) Waiver of Breach. Neither any waiver of any breach of, nor any failure to enforce any term or condition of, this Agreement will operate as a waiver of any other breach of any term or condition, nor constitute nor be deemed a waiver or release of any other rights, in law or at equity, or claims that any party may have against any other party for anything arising out of, connected with, or based upon this Agreement. No waiver will be enforceable against any party hereto unless set forth in a written instrument or agreement signed by that party. No waiver will be deemed to occur as a result of the failure of any party to enforce any term or condition of this Agreement.
(r) Additional Parties. Upon approval by the Companys board of directors, any holder of the Companys capital stock or rights, warrants, or options to purchase the Companys capital stock, may become a party to this Agreement as an Investor. A holder of the Companys capital stock or rights, warrants, or options to purchase the Companys capital stock shall become a party to this Agreement following approval of the Companys board of directors upon such holders execution and proper delivery to the Company of a Notice of Adoption in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and Exhibit A to this Agreement shall be automatically amended to add such holder.
