        2.    Demand
Registration. 


                2.1    Requests
for Registration.    (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, McDonald's may at any time after
the Effectiveness Date and once in each nine-month period after the Effectiveness Date, request registration by the Company under the Securities Act of all or part of its Registrable
Shares on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement ("Long-Form Registration") for a public
offering, so long as McDonald's beneficially owns at least 5% of the vote represented by the Equity Securities at the time of such request. In addition, McDonald's shall be entitled to request an
unlimited number of registrations under the Securities Act of all or part of its Registrable Shares on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration
statement ("Short-Form Registration") as described below; provided, however, that the aggregate offering price of the Registrable
Shares requested to be registered in any Long-Form Registration or Short-Form Registration must reasonably be expected to equal at least $2,000,000. 



        (b)   Any
Long-Form Registration and Short-Form Registration requested pursuant to subsection (a) above is referred to herein as a
"Demand Registration." Any request for a Demand Registration (each, a "Notice of Demand") shall specify (i) the amount of Registrable
Shares proposed to be registered; and (ii) the intended method or methods and plan of disposition thereof, including whether such requested registration is to involve an underwritten offering.
Within 45 days of a Notice of Demand, the Company shall file with the Commission, or otherwise designate an existing filing as, a Registration Statement relating to such Notice of Demand for
the offer and sale of the Registrable Shares by the Investors from time to time in accordance with the method or methods and plan of disposition elected by such Investors and set forth or to be set
forth in such Registration Statement and, thereafter, shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement promptly to be declared effective under (A) the
Securities Act; and (B) the "Blue Sky" laws of such jurisdictions as any seller of Registrable Shares being registered under such Registration Statement or any underwriter, if any, reasonably
requests; or (ii) otherwise make available for use by Investors a previously filed effective Registration Statement for the offer and sale of the Registrable Shares. 



4







 

        (c)   Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, each Demand Registration shall register the offer and sale of Registrable Shares for all cash consideration and shall be
Short-Form
Registrations whenever the Company is eligible to use Form S-3, unless McDonald's specifically requests a Long-Form Registration. It is agreed that at any time when the
Company is eligible to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form), McDonald's may request that the Company file a Registration Statement
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act to permit the offering of the Registrable Shares on a delayed or continuous basis. Once the Company has become subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company shall use its reasonable and best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the sale of Registrable Shares. 




                2.2    Continued
Effectiveness.    The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep any Registration Statement
filed or designated pursuant to Section 2.1(b) continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by sellers of the
Registrable Shares covered thereby until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all Registrable Shares have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or another registration statement
filed under the Securities Act (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder); and
(ii) the date as of which each of such sellers is permitted to sell its Registrable Shares without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume limitation or
other restrictions on transfer thereunder (such period of effectiveness, the "Registration Period"). Subject to Section 2.4, the Company shall not be deemed to have
used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective during the Registration Period if the Company voluntarily takes any action or omits to take any action that would result
in sellers of the Registrable Shares covered thereby not being able to offer and sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement during the Registration Period, unless such action
or omission is required by applicable law. 


                2.3    Preemption.    (a) If,
not more than 30 days prior to receipt of a Notice of Demand, the Company shall
have (i) circulated to prospective underwriters and their counsel a draft of a Registration Statement for a primary offering of Common Stock on behalf of the Company; (ii) solicited bids
for a primary offering of shares of Common Stock; or (iii) otherwise reached an understanding with an underwriter with respect to a primary offering of shares of Common Stock, the Company may
preempt such Demand Registration with such primary offering by delivering written notice of such intention to pursue a primary offering (the "Preemption Notice") to
McDonald's within five days after the Company has received the Notice of Demand; provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to preempt a Demand
Registration (i) more than once during any 12-month period; or (ii) for a period exceeding 30 days following the date of the Preemption Notice on any one occasion,
unless a registration statement relating to a primary offering of securities shall have become effective during such 30-day period, in which event such period may be extended for up to an
additional 10 days. 



        (b)   If
the Company preempts a Demand Registration, in the ensuing registration of the primary offering of Common Stock, the Company shall (i) as soon as practicable
(but in no event less than 30 days prior to the proposed date of filing or designation of the related Registration Statement), give written notice to the Investors of its intention to
make such primary offering and of their right to register their Registrable Shares in connection therewith; and (ii) register under such Registration Statement all Registrable Shares
(in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.2 below) with respect to which the Company shall have received written requests therefor within 15 days after delivery of
the Company's written notice. If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register a primary offering of Common Stock and prior to the effective date of the related Registration
Statement, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such primary offering, the Company shall give prompt written notice of such determination to each
Investor; and (x) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Shares in connection with such registration, but without
prejudice to the rights of McDonald's pursuant to Section 2.1; and (y) in the case of a determination to delay the registration, shall be permitted to delay registering any
Registrable Shares, for the same period as the delay in registering such primary offering. 



5







 

        (c)   Upon
the Company's preemption of a registration requested pursuant to Section 2.1, such requested registration shall not be considered a Demand Registration. 




                2.4    Restrictions.    The
Company shall not be obligated to effect any Long-Form Registration within four
months after the effective date of a previous Long-Form Registration. If the filing, designation, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement at any time would
require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving at least 10 days' prior written notice of such action to McDonald's, delay the filing, designation or initial
effectiveness of, or suspend use of, the Registration Statement (a "Demand Suspension"); provided, however, that the Company shall not
be permitted to exercise a Demand Suspension (i) more than once during any 12-month period; or (ii) for a period exceeding 30 days on any one occasion. In the case of
a Demand Suspension, McDonald's agrees to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectuses in connection with any sale or purchase, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable
Shares, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The Company shall immediately notify McDonald's upon the termination of any Demand Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus (including by
means of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus), if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to McDonald's such numbers of copies of the Prospectus and any applicable
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as McDonald's may reasonably request. The Company agrees, if necessary, to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, if required by
the registration form used by the Company, by the instructions applicable to such registration form, by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, or as may reasonably be
requested by McDonald's. 


                2.5    Payment
of Expenses for Demand Registration.    The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses (as defined
in Section 5 below) for the first two Long-Form Registrations and unlimited Short-Form Registrations. A registration shall count as one of the Company-paid
Long-Form Registrations if and only if a Registration Statement with respect thereto has become effective under the Securities Act and remains effective during the Registration Period;
provided, however, that in any event the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Long-Form Registration initiated prior to the
completion of McDonald's second Long-Form Registration that is withdrawn by the Company or otherwise fails to be declared effective. The Company and McDonald's shall share equally the
Registration Expenses of any Long-Form Registration other than the first two Long-Form Registrations. 


6







 

                2.6    Selection
of Underwriters.    In connection with any Demand Registration, McDonald's shall have the sole right to
select the nationally recognized investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering, subject to the Company's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 


        3.    Piggyback
Registration. 


                3.1    Right
to Piggyback.    Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act
(other than pursuant to a Demand Registration), including any registration pursuant to Section 2.3, or McDonald's requests the Company to register any of its Common Stock under the
Securities Act pursuant to a Demand Registration, the Company shall (i) as soon as practicable (but in no event less than 25 days prior to the proposed date of filing or
designation of the related Registration Statement), give written notice to the Investors (other than McDonald's, if following a request by McDonald's), as applicable, of its intention to effect such a
registration; and (ii) shall register under such Registration Statement all Registrable Shares (in accordance with the priorities set forth in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 below)
with respect to which the Company shall have received written requests therefor within 15 days after delivery of the Company's notice (each such registration, a "Piggyback
Registration"). 


                3.2    Priority
on Primary Registrations.    If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf
of the Company and the managing underwriters advise the Board of Directors in writing that in their opinion the total number of shares of Common Stock (including the Registrable Shares) requested to
be included in the registration is such as would create a substantial risk of adversely affecting the ability of the underwriters to effect the underwritten offering, then the Company shall include in
such registration only such number of shares of Common Stock, if any, which the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the ability of the
underwriters to execute the offering. The Company shall include in such registration (i) first, 100% of the Equity Securities that the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, if
McDonald's participates in such registration, 100% of the Registrable Shares that McDonald's proposes to sell; (iii) third, only if all the Registrable Shares referred to in
clause (ii) have been included, the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included therein pro rata among the remaining
Investors on the basis of the respective number of Registrable Shares as to which registration has been requested; and (iv) fourth, only if all of the Registrable Shares referred to in
clauses (ii) and (iii) have been included, any other securities requested to be included therein. 


                3.3    Priority
on Secondary Registrations.    If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on
behalf of McDonald's and the managing underwriters advise the Board of Directors in writing that in their opinion the total number of shares of Common Stock (including the Registrable Shares)
requested to be included in the registration is such as would create a substantial risk of
adversely affecting the ability of the underwriters to effect the underwritten offering, then the Company shall include in such registration such number of shares of Common Stock which the Company is
so advised can be sold in such offering. The Company shall include in such registration (i) first, 100% of the Registrable Shares that McDonald's proposes to sell; (ii) second, only if
all the Registrable Shares referred to in clause (i) have been included, the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included therein  pro rata among the remaining Investors on the
basis of the respective number of Registrable Shares as to which registration has been requested;
and (iii) third, only if all of the Registrable Shares referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) have been included, any other securities requested to be included therein. 


7







 

                3.4    Other
Registrations.    If the Company has previously filed or designated a registration statement with respect to
Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(b) or pursuant to this Section 3, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, the Company shall
not file, designate or cause to be effected any other registration of any of its Equity Securities under the Securities Act (except on
Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such forms or part of any registration of securities for offering and sale to employees or directors of the
Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement), whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at
least 120 days has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration. 



                3.5    Selection
of Underwriters.    If a Piggyback Registration involves an underwritten primary registration on behalf of
the Company, the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be selected by the Company, subject to the approval of the holders of at least 50% by number of the Registrable Shares requested to
be registered, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 


                3.6    Limitations
on Registrations.    The Company shall not register any of its securities for sale for its own account
(other than securities issued to employees of the Company under an employee benefit plan or securities issued to effect a business combination pursuant to Rule 145 promulgated under the
Securities Act and other than a registration on Form S-3) except as a firm commitment underwriting. 


                3.7    No
Effect on Demand Registrations.    No registration or designation of Registrable Shares effected pursuant to a
request under this Section 3 shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 2 or shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 2. 



        4.    Registration
Procedures.    Whenever McDonald's shall have made a Notice of Demand, the Company shall use all reasonable and
diligent efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Shares
in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall as expeditiously as possible: 



        (a)   within
30 days of receipt of such Notice of Demand, prepare and file with the Commission, or designate an existing filing as, a Registration Statement with
respect to such Registrable Shares and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective or otherwise make available for use by the sellers of Registrable Shares
a previously filed effective Registration Statement; provided that before filing or designating a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or filing any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, the Company shall furnish copies of all such documents proposed to be filed or designated to counsel for the sellers of Registrable Shares; 



8







 

        (b)   prepare
and file with the Commission such pre- and post-effective amendments of and supplements to such Registration Statement and the
Prospectus(es) used in connection therewith as may be (i) reasonably requested by McDonald's; (ii) reasonably requested by any seller of Registrable Shares (to the extent
such request relates to information relating to such seller); or (iii) necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the Registration Period, and comply with the provisions of the
applicable Securities Laws with respect to the sale or other disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended method or methods
of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement; 



        (c)   furnish
to the sellers of Registrable Shares or counsel for the sellers such number of copies of such Registration Statement, the Prospectus(es) included in such
Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act relating to the sellers' Registrable Shares, any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, and each amendment of and supplement to any of the foregoing, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as any seller may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of its Registrable Shares under such Registration Statement; 



        (d)   use
its reasonable and diligent efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Shares under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller of
Registrable Shares reasonably requests and keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as any Registration Statement remains in effect, and do any and all other acts and things which
may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Shares owned by it; provided that the
Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph; (ii) subject
itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction; or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 



        (e)   notify
each seller of Registrable Shares, at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the applicable Securities Laws (including in
circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act) and when any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus includes information that may conflict with the
information contained in the Registration Statement (including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified), of the happening of any event as a result of
which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company shall promptly prepare and furnish to each such
seller a reasonable number of copies of an amendment of or supplement to such Prospectus or an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable
Shares, such Prospectus shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that upon receipt of any notice delivered in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 4(e), each seller of Registrable Shares shall be deemed to have agreed that such seller shall forthwith discontinue such disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to such
Registration Statement and Prospectus until the receipt of the copies of the amended or supplemented Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by this Section 4(e) and,
if so directed by the Company, shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in its possession of the Prospectus relating to such Registrable Shares current at the
time of receipt of such notice;

        (f)    cause
all such Registrable Shares to be listed, on or prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, on each securities exchange or national market on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; 


        (g)   provide
a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Shares not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement; 


        (h)   enter
into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements) and take all such other customary actions as the underwriters, if any, and their counsel
reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Shares (including, but not limited to, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares) and, to the extent
reasonably requested by the managing underwriters of any underwritten offering, send appropriate officers of the Company to attend "road shows" scheduled in connection with any such registration; 


        (i)    make
available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Shares, any underwriter participating in any sale or other disposition pursuant to such Registration
Statement, and any legal counsel, accountant or other agent retained by McDonald's or any underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors, employees and independent registered public accountants (subject to any requesting party executing any
document reasonably requested by such accountants to furnish such information) to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, counsel, accountant or agent in
connection with such Registration Statement (including the opportunity to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and the independent registered public accountants who have certified its
financial statements) as shall be necessary, in the opinion of their respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act; and give the sellers and their
counsel, accountant or agent and each underwriter the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement, each Prospectus included therein or each Prospectus filed with the
Commission in connection therewith; 



10







 

        (j)    promptly
notify the sellers of Registrable Shares and each underwriter, if any: 



	(i)
	when
such Registration Statement or any Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus used in connection therewith has been filed and, with respect to such Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof, when the same has become effective;



	(ii)
	of
any written comments from the Commission with respect to any filing referred to in clause (i) and of any written request by the Commission for

	(iii)
	of
the notification to the Company by the Commission or any other regulatory authority of its initiation of any proceeding with respect to, or of the issuance by the
Commission or any other regulatory authority of, any stop order or notice suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement; and



	(iv)
	of
the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Shares for sale under the applicable securities
or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction; 





and,
in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), promptly use all reasonable and diligent efforts to, respectively, (A) respond satisfactorily to any such comments and to file
promptly any necessary amendments or supplements; (B) prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued; and (C) obtain the
withdrawal of any such suspension of qualification; 


        (k)   upon
request, furnish to each seller of Registrable Shares a signed counterpart, addressed to such seller (and each underwriter, if any) of: 



	(i)
	an
opinion of counsel to the Company, dated the effective date of such Registration Statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated
the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such seller (and such underwriter); and



	(ii)
	a
"comfort" letter, dated the effective date of such Registration Statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the
closing under the underwriting agreement), signed by the independent registered public accountants who have certified the Company's financial statements included in such Registration Statement,
provided that such seller of Registrable Shares provides such accountants with such certificates as are reasonably and customarily requested by such accountants; 




11







 





in
each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such Registration Statement (and the Prospectus included therein) and, in the case of the accountants' letter, with respect
to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements and other financial matters, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters delivered to the
underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities; 


        (l)    otherwise
use all reasonable and diligent efforts to comply with all applicable Securities Laws and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably
practicable an earning statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder; 


        (m)  cooperate
with each seller, underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Shares and their respective counsel in connection with any filings
required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; and 


        (n)   at
least 48 hours prior to the filing or designation of any Registration Statement, the filing of any Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the filing
of any amendment of or supplement to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, furnish a copy thereof to the sellers of Registrable Shares or their legal counsel and
refrain from filing or designating, as the case may be, any such Registration Statement, Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or amendment thereof or supplement thereto to which such counsel
shall have reasonably objected on the grounds that such document does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, unless,
in the case of an amendment or supplement, in the opinion of counsel for the Company the filing or designation of such amendment or supplement is reasonably necessary to protect the Company from any
liabilities under any applicable federal or state law and such filing or designation will not violate applicable laws. 




        5.    Registration
Expenses.    Except as provided in Section 2.5 hereof, all reasonable expenses incident to the Company's
performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, but not limited to, (i) all registration, filing and listing fees and all fees of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc.; (ii) all registration, filing, qualification and other fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws; (iii) all word processing, duplicating,

limitation, the expenses of any "comfort letters" required by or incident to such performance and compliance; (v) the reasonable fees and disbursements of one legal counsel selected by
McDonald's (there being no obligation of the Company to pay or reimburse any fees of any separate counsel for any other Investor); (vi) any reasonable fees and disbursements of underwriters
customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities (but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to securities being sold by any Investor or that
are otherwise not being sold or disposed of by the Company), including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriter(s) in connection with blue sky
qualifications of the Registrable Shares and determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions; and (vii) reasonable fees and expenses of other Persons
retained or employed by the Company (all such expenses being herein called "Registration Expenses"), shall be borne by the Company. In addition, the Company shall
pay its internal expenses (including, but not limited to, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly
review, the expense of any insurance obtained by the Company against liabilities arising out of the public offering of the Registrable Shares being registered and the expenses and fees for listing the
securities to be registered on each securities exchange. 


12







 

        6.    Holdback
Agreements. 


                6.1    Investors'
Agreements.    Each Investor agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of Equity Securities
during the period beginning seven days before and ending 90 days (or such lesser period as may be permitted by the Company or the managing underwriter or underwriters) after the
effective
date of the Registration Statement filed or designated in connection with any underwritten public offering, unless the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall otherwise agree. Nothing
herein shall prevent an Investor that is a partnership from making a distribution of Registrable Shares to its partners, an Investor that is a limited liability company from making a distribution of
Registrable Shares to its members, an Investor that is a trust from making a distribution of Registrable Shares to its beneficiaries or an Investor that is a corporation from making a distribution of
Registrable Shares to its stockholders, provided that the transferees of such Registrable Shares agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement to the extent the
transferor would be so bound. 


                6.2    Company's
Agreements.    The Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of Equity Securities
during the period beginning seven days before and ending 90 days (or such lesser period as may be permitted by the managing underwriter or underwriters) after the effective date of the
Registration Statement filed or designated in connection with any underwritten public offering (or, in the case of an offering on Form S-3, the date of the closing under the
underwriting agreement in connection therewith), unless the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall otherwise agree. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may effect a public sale or
distribution of Equity Securities during the periods described above if such sale or distribution is made pursuant to registrations on
Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such forms or as part of any registration of securities for offering and sale to employees or directors of
the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from each holder of restricted securities of
the Company which securities are the same as or similar to the Registrable Shares being registered, or any restricted securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such
securities, an agreement not to effect any public sale or distribution of such securities during any period referred to in this paragraph, except as part of any such underwritten public offering, if
permitted. 


	
7.
	Other
Agreements.    (a) Each Investor represents that it has not prepared or had prepared on its behalf or used or
referred to, and agrees that it will not prepare or have prepared on it behalf or use or refer to, any Free Writing Prospectus, and has not distributed and will not distribute any written materials in
connection with the offer or sale of the Common Stock without the prior express written consent of the Company and, in connection with any underwritten offering, the underwriters. Any such Free
Writing Prospectus consented to by the Company and the underwriters, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a "Permitted Free Writing Prospectus." The Company
represents and agrees that it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with
the Commission, legending and record keeping. 


13







 

        (b)   If
requested by the underwriter(s) for any underwritten offering pursuant to a Demand Registration, the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with
such underwriter(s) for such offering, such agreement to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms
as are generally prevailing in agreements of this type. In any such case, the Company shall allow McDonald's and its counsel to participate in the negotiation of such underwriting agreement, and
approve its terms, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each of the Investors participating in such registration shall be a party to such underwriting agreement and may, at its
option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriter(s) shall also be made
to and for the benefit of such Investors and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters(s) under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to
the obligations of such Investors thereunder. Any such Investor shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company other than representations, warranties
or agreements regarding such Investor, such Investor's title to the Registrable Shares, such Investor's intended method or methods of distribution and any other representation required by law. No
Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (i) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided in such underwriting agreement; and
(ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney (which may contain customary terms regarding the minimum price of the Registrable Shares to be sold in the subject offering),
custody agreements, indemnities and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting agreement. 




        8.    Indemnification
and Contribution. 


                8.1    Indemnification.    (a) The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law,
each Investor and, in the case of an underwritten offering, each underwriter, their respective officers and directors and each Person who controls such Investor or underwriter, as applicable, (within
the meaning of the Securities Act) (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all losses, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements but excluding taxes imposed as a result of being a direct or indirect owner of the Common Stock or
realizing income or gain with respect thereto) (collectively, "Losses"), incurred by, imposed upon or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties as a result of,
relating to or arising out of any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or
any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by, contained in or omitted from any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Investor
expressly for use therein or by such Investor's failure to deliver a copy of the Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto after the Company has
furnished such Investor with a sufficient number of copies of the same. Unless and until a final and non-appealable judicial determination shall be made that an Indemnified Party is not
entitled to indemnification, the Company shall pay or reimburse each Indemnified Party for all indemnified Losses as they are incurred; provided that if a final and
non-appealable judicial determination shall be made that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified for Losses, such Indemnified Party shall repay to the Company the amount
of such Losses for which the Company shall have paid or reimbursed such Indemnified Party. 


14







 

        (b)   In
connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees, as a condition of the Company's obligation to indemnify,
to furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and shall indemnify and hold harmless,
to the extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and directors and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (collectively, the
"Indemnified Company Parties") from and against any and all Losses incurred by, imposed upon or asserted against any of the Indemnified Company Parties as a result of,
relating to or arising out of (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that the same are caused by, contained in or omitted from any information furnished in writing to the
Company by such Investor of, if not furnished in writing, which is acknowledged by such Investor in writing to have been contained in or omitted from the information so provided; and (ii) any
Free Writing Prospectus used by such Investor without the prior consent of the Issuer; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several,
among the Investors who furnished or failed to furnish the information that resulted in such Losses and the liability of each such Investor shall be in proportion to and limited in all events to the
net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement. 




                8.2    Contribution. 



        (a)   To
the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8.1 hereof is unavailable to an indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to
therein, then an indemnifying Person, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified Person as a result of such Losses
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying Person on the one hand and the indemnified Person on the other hand; or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) of this Section 8.2(a) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) in this Section 8.2(a) but also the relative fault of the indemnifying Person on the one hand and of the indemnified Person on the other hand in
connection with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In connection with any Registration Statement filed with the
Commission by the Company, (x) the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Investors on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the
net proceeds from the offering of securities registered thereunder (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the net proceeds from the offering of securities registered thereunder
(before deducting expenses) received by the Investors, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the securities registered thereunder; (y) the relative fault of the Company on the one hand
and the Investors on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any 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 the Company or by the Investors and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission; and (z) the Investors' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8.2 are several in proportion to the respective number of shares of securities
they sell under any such Registration Statement, and not joint, and the contribution of each Investor shall be in proportion to and limited in all events to the net proceeds received by such Investor
from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement. 



15







 

        (b)   The
Company and the Investors agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.2 were determined by  pro rata allocation (even if the Investors were treated
as one entity for such purposes) or by any other method of allocation that does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8.2(a) hereof. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified Person as a result of the Losses referred to in
Section 8.2(a) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified Person in connection with
investigating or defending any action or claim for Losses (a "Claim"). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.2, in connection with any
Registration Statement filed by the Company, none of the Investors shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds from the offering of the securities registered thereunder
(before deducting expenses) received by such Investor under such Registration Statement. 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. The remedies provided for in this Section 8.2 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified Person at law or in equity. 




                8.3    Procedures.    Any
Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the
indemnifying Person of any Claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; and (ii) unless in such indemnified Person's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified
and indemnifying Persons may exist with respect to such Claim, the indemnifying Person shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion and expense, to elect to defend, contest or otherwise
protect against any such Claim with legal counsel of its own selection, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Person. The indemnified Person shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof through counsel of its own choice and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assert any and all cross-claims or counterclaims it may
have. If the indemnifying Person elects to assume the defense of such Claim, the indemnifying Person shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified Person without its
consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). An indemnifying Person who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a Claim shall not be obligated
to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Persons indemnified by such indemnifying Person with respect to such Claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified Person a
conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified Person and any other of such indemnified Persons with respect to such Claim. The indemnified Persons shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to,
at all times cooperate in all reasonable ways with, make their relevant files and records available for inspection and copying by, and make their employees available or otherwise render reasonable
assistance to, the indemnifying Person (i) in its defense of any Claim; and (ii) its prosecution under the last sentence of this Section 8.3 of any related claim, cross-complaint,
counterclaim or right of subrogation. In the event the indemnifying Person fails timely to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such Claim, the indemnified Person shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to defend, contest, assert cross-claims or counterclaims or otherwise protect against the same. The indemnifying Person shall be subrogated to the claims or rights of the
indemnified Person as against any other Persons with respect to any Loss paid by the indemnifying Person under this Section. 


16







 

                8.4    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 or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of securities. 


        9.     Compliance
With Rule 144.    At the request of any Investor who proposes to sell securities in compliance with
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company shall (i) forthwith furnish to such Investor a written statement of compliance with the filing requirements of the Commission as set forth
in Rule 144, as such rule may be amended from time to time; and (ii) make available to the public and such Investor such information as will enable such Investor to make sales pursuant
to Rule 144. 


        10.   Miscellaneous. 


                10.1    No
Inconsistent Agreements.    The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its
securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Investors in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. 


                10.2 Authority;
Enforceability.    Each entity and each natural person that is a party hereto has the corporate power
and legal capacity, respectively, and each has the authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder. Each entity that is a party hereto is duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly authorized by all necessary
action, and no other act or proceeding, corporate or otherwise, on its part is necessary to authorize the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated
hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed by each party and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general
principles of equity (whether applied by a court of law or of equity). 


17







 

                10.3    Adjustments
Affecting Registrable Shares.    The Company shall not take any action, or permit any change to occur,
with respect to its restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated
bylaws which would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of Investors to include such Registrable Shares in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or which would
reasonably be expected to adversely affect the marketability of such Registrable Shares in any such registration. 


                10.4    Other
Registration Rights.    The Company shall not hereafter grant to any Person or Persons the right to request
the Company to register any Equity Securities without the prior express written consent of McDonald's. 



                10.5    Amendments
and Waivers.    This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified at any time, and any term or
condition of the Agreement may be waived at any time by the party hereto that is entitled to the benefit hereof, in each case by a written instrument duly executed by the Company and (i) in the
case of any such amendment, supplement or modification, McDonald's and the holders of at least 80% of the vote represented by the Registrable Shares held by the remaining Investors; or (ii) in
the case of any such waiver, by the party waiving such term or condition; provided, however, that the provisions of this Agreement may not be
amended, supplemented or modified without the consent of the holders of all the Registrable Shares adversely affected by such amendment, supplement or modification if such amendment, supplement or
modification adversely affects a portion of the Registrable Shares but does not so adversely affect all of the Registrable Shares. Any amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or waiver
of any term or condition of this Agreement effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding upon each holder of Registrable Shares. No waiver by any party of any term or condition
of this Agreement, in one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. 



                10.6    Successors,
Assigns and Transferees. 



        (a)   Each
party may assign all or a portion of its rights hereunder to any Person to which such party transfers its ownership of all or any of its Registrable Shares;
provided that no such assignment shall be binding upon or obligate the Company to any such assignee unless and until the Company shall have received notice of such
assignment as herein provided and a written agreement of the assignee to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement; and provided, further,
that the rights described under Section 2.1 shall not transfer to any Person unless such Person (i) is an Affiliate of the holder transferring such rights; or (ii) acquires at
least 331/3% of the Registrable Shares initially held by McDonald's. 



18







 

        (b)   The
terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any Person not a party hereto
(other than each other Person entitled to indemnity or contribution under Section 8 hereof) any right, remedy or claim under or by virtue of this Agreement. 




                10.7    Term.    Section 8
hereof shall remain in effect with respect to an Investor so long as such Investor may,
in the reasonable judgment of counsel for such Investor as evidenced by a written opinion to such effect, constitute a "controlling person" with respect to the Company, or be part of a Group that may
constitute such a "controlling person," within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. 



                10.8    Severability.    Whenever
possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, (i) such provision shall be
fully severable; (ii) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; (iii) the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance here from; and (iv) in lieu
of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible. 


                10.9    Remedies.    Any
Person having rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such
rights specifically, to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. 


                10.10    Descriptive
Headings.    The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only
and do not constitute a part of and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
