eleven (11), subject to increase or decrease by the Board from time-to-time, in accordance with the Charter, the Bylaws and this Agreement, provided that the Board shall use its reasonable best efforts to have an authorized number of directors that

	 	2.2	Investor Representatives. 

  

	 	2.2.1	 Subject to compliance with the requirements of Section 2.2.4, upon the First Closing, the members of the Board shall elect and appoint up to

nomination at each meeting of the Company’s stockholders held for the election of directors.

together with its Affiliates, owns total voting power of Voting Stock representing at least ten percent (10%) of the total voting power of Voting Stock (which for this purpose shall not include Voting Stock that the Investor or its Affiliates

Directors shall never exceed one person less than a majority of the directors then-serving on the Board. Upon the Company Stockholder Approval, the members of the Board shall elect and appoint to the Board the additional Investor Directors
designated by the Investor and shall do so by filling a vacancy on the Board by either having then-serving members of the Board (other than Investor Directors) resign or by increasing the authorized number of directors on the Board.

	 	2.2.3	 The Company shall cause the nomination of each Investor Director (to the extent that such Investor Director would be up for election at such time) in
connection with any subsequent proxy statement or information statement pursuant to which the Company intends to solicit stockholders with respect to the election of directors and to have the Board recommend in connection with such subsequent proxy
statement or information statement that the stockholders of the Company vote for the election of each Investor Director up for election at such time. 


  

	 	2.2.4	 The election and appointment of each Investor Director shall be subject to all legal requirements and the Company’s reasonable governance standards
regarding service as a director of the Company and to the reasonable approval of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board; provided that the Company shall use reasonable efforts to seek such approval in a reasonably prompt
manner and in no event later than the next regularly scheduled meeting of such committee following the delivery of notice from the Investor to the Company designating an Investor Director. In addition, unless otherwise approved by a majority of the
Non-Management Independent Directors, no Investor Director shall be an officer or director of (i) any Person that competes to any significant extent with the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries in the geographic areas in which they
operate, (ii) another company that has a class of equity securities registered with the SEC and that is engaged in substantial homebuilding or land development activities within the United States, or (iii) a company that does not have a
class of equity securities registered with the SEC and that has annual revenues (in its most recently completed fiscal year) from homebuilding and land development activities within the United States of more than $200 million; provided, that,
no manager, member, partner, employee, or consultant of or to any of the MatlinPatterson Entities shall be excluded from serving as an Independent Director solely due to the fact that such manager, member, partner, employee, or consultant is
Affiliated or associated with the MatlinPatterson Entities. 


  

	 	2.2.5	 If prior to the end of the term of any member of the Board that is an Investor Director, a vacancy in the office of such director shall occur by reason of
death, resignation, removal or disability, or for any other cause, such vacancy shall be filled by the Investor with another Investor Director, and the Investor shall have the right to replace any Investor Director, at any time, with or without
cause. 


  

	 	2.2.6	 From and after the Company Stockholder Approval, upon the Investor and its Affiliates ceasing to beneficially own the percentage of the total voting power
of Voting Stock required to entitle the Investor to designate, pursuant to Section 2.2.2, the number of Investor Directors then so designated, the Company may request that the requisite number of Investor Directors then-serving on the
Board resign as directors, and the 



  

 7 








	 	 
Investor shall cause such Investor Directors to resign immediately from the Board, so that the number of Investor Directors shall equal the number that the
Investor is then entitled to designate under Section 2.2.2. A majority of the Independent Directors shall have the right to fill any vacancy resulting therefor. 


  

	 	2.3	Committees and Subsidiary Boards. 

  

	 	2.3.1	 Each committee of the Board (other than the Audit Committee or any committee of Independent Directors formed to consider any Investor Transaction) shall
contain at least one (1) Investor Director and such additional number as may be agreed by the Independent Directors and the Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any executive or similar committee of the Board shall contain such numbers of
the Investor Directors so that the number of Investor Directors on such committee shall be as nearly as possible proportional to the total number of Investor Directors on the Board; provided that the Investor Directors shall never exceed one
person less than a majority of the directors then-serving on such committee. 


  

	 	2.3.2	 The board of each Subsidiary (and committees thereof, if any) of the Company shall contain up to one (1) Investor Director.



  

	 	2.4	Independent Directors.  

  

	 	2.4.1	 The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to take and cause to be taken all necessary action to elect to the Board the Independent Directors
nominated by the Nominating and Governance Committee; provided that the Investor and its Affiliates shall vote any Voting Stock beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates, in favor of or withhold authority for such
nominees in the same proportion as all of the stockholders of the Company (other than the Investor and its Affiliates) vote their shares of Voting Stock at any special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company or in connection with any
other vote relating to the election of directors. 


  

	 	2.4.2	 To the extent that the Board does not have a majority of independent directors, as defined under the NYSE Listed Company Manual, then the Investor shall
replace one of the Investor Directors on the Board with a person meeting the requirements of an independent director under such NYSE rules to enable the Company to comply with such rules. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required
to remove the Chief Executive Officer from the Board to comply with such NYSE rules. 


  

	 	2.4.3	 To the extent that any committee of the Board (A) is required hereunder to include one or more Investor Directors on such committee, and
(B) such committee is required under the NYSE Listed Company Manual to be 



  

 8 








	 	 
comprised solely of independent directors, as defined under the NYSE Listed Company Manual, if there are insufficient Investor Directors who are independent
and otherwise eligible and available to be a member of such committee, then the Investor shall either (i) waive its right to have Investor Directors on such committee, to the extent that such Investor Directors are ineligible to be a member of
such committee, or shall replace one or more of the Investor Directors with persons meeting the requirements of an independent director under such NYSE rules to enable the Company to comply with such rules. 


  

	 	2.5	 Quorum. The quorum required for the transaction of business by the Board shall include at least one (1) Investor Director, so
long as at least one (1) Investor Director is serving on the Board, provided, however, that a meeting of the Board shall not require the presence of an Investor Director to constitute a quorum for such meeting in the event that
each of the Investor Directors shall have failed to attend a duly called Board meeting relating to the same subject matter and such meeting is adjourned and each of the Investor Directors shall have failed to attend the duly adjourned Board meeting,
which is at least two (2) Business Days thereafter and the Independent Directors have received notice of such adjournment as would be required for a separately called meeting. 


  

	 	2.6	 Amendments. Neither the Charter nor the Bylaws shall be amended in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement without the
consent of the Investor. 


  

	 	2.7	 Corporate Opportunities. It is understood and accepted by the parties that the Investor Directors and the
Investor, and their respective Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, stockholders, members, partners or employees, may have interests in other business ventures which may be in conflict with the activities of the Company
and its Subsidiaries and that, subject to applicable law and the provisions of Section 2.2.4, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the respective current or future business activities of the Investor Directors and the Investor, or any
of their respective Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, stockholders, members, partners or employees, whether or not such activities are competitive with those of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided,
however, that the Investor Directors and the Investor shall remain subject to the obligations concerning Confidential Information set forth in this Agreement. Each of the parties acknowledges that corporate and investment opportunities may
from time to time come to the attention of the Investor Directors and the Investor, and their respective Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, stockholders, members, partners or employees. Subject to the provisions of the
Charter, and the continued compliance by the Investor Directors and the Investor, and their Affiliates, with the obligations concerning Confidential Information set forth in this Agreement, the Company on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its
Subsidiaries renounces such opportunities, provided that such opportunities came to the attention of such Persons other than as a result of their position with the Company or that of their Affiliates with the Company, and acknowledges (i) that
the

Company and its Subsidiaries have no interest in any of such activities of the Investor Directors or the Investor, or those of their respective Affiliates,

officers, directors, managers, stockholders, members, partners or employees, may invest in and, except for Investor Directors, may serve on boards of directors or similar governing bodies of Persons competing with Company or its Subsidiaries or
Persons that have a material economic relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall relieve any officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including the Investor
Directors, of any fiduciary duty or other duties or obligations they may have to the Company’s and/or such Subsidiaries’ stockholders. 


  

	 	2.8	 Preapproval. Except as expressly permitted hereunder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any proposed Investor Transaction,
other than the Transaction, must be pre-approved by a majority of the Non-Management Independent Directors.

not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Capital Stock, except for a Transfer that complies with any of the following subsections: 


  

	 	4.2.1  	 to any Permitted Affiliate; 


  

	 	4.2.2  	 to any Person such that, after such Transfer, such Person, together with its Affiliates, will not beneficially own voting power of Voting Stock
constituting fifteen percent (15%) or more of the total voting power of Voting Stock; 


  

	 	4.2.3  	 in a bona fide pledge of such Capital Stock to a financial institution to secure borrowings as permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations;



  

	 	4.2.4  	 to underwriters in connection with an underwritten public offering of such Capital Stock on a firm commitment basis registered under the Securities Act
pursuant to which the sale of such Capital Stock will be in a manner to effect a broad distribution; 


  

	 	4.2.5  	 to the Company or one of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries; or 


  

	 	4.2.6  	 to any Person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal consummated with any Person, who (i) is not an Affiliate of the Investor and which
Acquisition Proposal is approved by a majority of the Board, or (ii) a Surviving Company Merger, in which the Investor and its Affiliates and the other non-affiliated public company shareholders all hold the same relative proportion of
interests in the surviving company as they did in the Company prior to the Surviving Company Merger. 


  

	 	4.3	 Mechanics of Transfer Following any Transfer of Capital Stock permitted under this Agreement, the
transferring holder of such Capital Stock shall promptly provide the Company a notice with respect to the Transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Any Affiliate or Permitted Affiliate of the Investor at the time of any Transfer
which at any time thereafter is no longer a Permitted Affiliate or an Affiliate of the Investor, as applicable, shall also notify the Company accordingly by giving the Company such notice. 


  

	 	4.4	 Repurchase Transaction If (i) the Company intends to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of its Capital Stock (a
“Repurchase Transaction”); (ii) at such time, the Investor, together with its Affiliates, is the beneficial owner 



  

 13 








	 	 
of forty nine percent (49%) or less of the total voting power of the Voting Stock; and (iii) in giving effect to such Repurchase Transaction, the
Investor would be the beneficial owner, together with its Affiliates, of more than forty nine percent (49%) of the total voting power of the Voting Stock, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Repurchase Transaction, the Company
shall repurchase such number of shares of Capital Stock beneficially owned by the Investor (or any Affiliate designated by Investor) at the same price per share (on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, if applicable) to be paid to the other
stockholders in such Repurchase Transaction, so that the Investor, together with its Affiliates, would be the beneficial owner of forty nine percent (49%) or less of the total voting power of the Voting Stock immediately following the
consummation of such Repurchase Transaction. 


  

	 	4.5	 Confidential Information 


  

	 	4.5.1  	 The Investor covenants and agrees that it shall keep all confidential information relating to the Company that it receives in its capacity as either a
stockholder of the Company or in connection with its rights under this Agreement, and information received from the Investor Directors (such information, “Confidential Information”) confidential, not use such information in any
manner that is adverse to the interests of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and not disclose such information to any third party without the written consent of the Company unless the Confidential Information is: 


  

	 	(i)	 already in the possession of the Investor or its Affiliates as at the date of this Agreement, other than pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with the
Company; 


  

	 	(ii)	 already in possession of the public or becomes available to the public other than through any act or omission of the Investor or its Affiliates in violation of
this Agreement; 


  

	 	(iii)	 required to be disclosed under any applicable law or by any governmental order, decree, regulation or rule or is requested by any Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction over the Investor or its Affiliates or in connection with any legal proceedings, subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 4.5.2; or 


  

	 	(iv)	 acquired independently from a third party that represented that it has the right to disseminate such information at the time it is acquired by the Investor or
its Affiliates without restriction. 


  

	 	4.5.2  	 In the event that the Investor is requested or required (by deposition, interrogatory, request for information or documents in legal proceedings,
subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) pursuant to law, regulation or a listing agreement with a securities exchange to 



  

 14 








	 	 
disclose any of the Confidential Information, it shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that the Company
may, if time permits, seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the Company, the Investor
is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information to any tribunal or securities exchange or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, the Investor may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such
tribunal or securities exchange only that portion of the Confidential Information that it reasonably believes is legally required to be disclosed; provided that the Investor exercises its reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of
such Confidential Information. 


  

	 	4.5.3  	 The Investor and the Investor Directors may disclose the Confidential Information without the Company’s prior written consent to the Investor and its
Affiliates and to any of Investor’s or its Affiliates’ employees, officers and directors (or persons performing a similar function), professional consultants or agents, subject to confidentiality undertakings by such Persons receiving the
Confidential Information, and who need to know such information for a purpose reasonably related to the Investor or Investor Director’s interest as a stockholder or director of the Company, as applicable. In any event, the Investor or the
Investor Director, as applicable, shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by such Persons to which it discloses Confidential Information. 


  

	 	4.5.4  	 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Section 4.5.5, the Investor or its Affiliates may disclose, with reasonable
advance notice to the Company, any Confidential Information to a potential purchaser of Capital Stock beneficially owned by the Investor or its Affiliates if such potential purchaser executes a confidentiality agreement with such selling stockholder
in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which among other things shall provide third party beneficiary rights in favor of the Company to enforce the terms thereof), 


  

	 	4.5.5  	 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the Investor or its Affiliates disclose any Confidential Information to any
competitors of the Company or its Subsidiaries or any Affiliates of such competitors. 


  

	 	4.6	 Amendments to Certain Documents The Company shall not, without the prior consent of the Investor, amend or modify (i) its Rights Plan
to lower the threshold upon which the rights thereunder are separated or distributed, to beneficial ownership of less than fifteen percent (15%) of the Voting Stock, or (ii) its Certificate of Incorporation to become subject to
“interested stockholder” or “business combination” provisions at a threshold of beneficial ownership of less than fifteen percent (15%) of the Voting Stock. 


  

 15 








	5	 Prohibited Acquisitions and Circumstances Permitting Acquisitions 


 The Investor shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, acquire, or agree or offer to purchase or otherwise acquire, in a
transaction or group of related transactions, any Capital Stock of the Company such that the Investor, together with its Affiliates, after giving effect to such transaction or transactions, would beneficially own (i) one share more than the
shares of Capital Stock purchased by Investor in the Transaction, unless such acquisition is directly from the Company in a transaction approved pursuant to Section 2.8, or (ii) fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting
power of the Voting Stock (in each case taking into account any adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or other similar events relating to any of the Company’s Capital Stock), except pursuant to one of the following: 
  

	 	5.1	 an Acquisition Proposal by the Investor or its Affiliates that is approved by at least a majority of the Non-Management Independent Directors; or



  

	 	5.2	 an Acquisition Proposal that is a merger or consolidation that is approved by (i) the Board of Directors, including at least one Non-Management
Independent Director, and (ii) at a special or annual meeting of stockholders, by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of Voting Stock not beneficially owned by the Investor or its Affiliates.



 Notwithstanding the foregoing, each action taken or proposed to be taken hereunder must be in compliance with this
Agreement, including the provisions of Section 3. 
  

	6	 Legends; Securities Law Compliance 


  

	 	6.1	 Each certificate representing Capital Stock that is restricted stock as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act shall bear the following legend:



 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS (i) SUCH DISPOSITION IS PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM AND (ii) SUCH DISPOSITION IS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.” 
  

	 	6.2	 Each certificate representing Capital Stock that is subject to this Agreement shall bear the following legend: 


 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER, VOTING AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN A STOCKHOLDERS

 16 








	 	6.3	 Certificates representing Capital Stock shall bear any other legends required by applicable state law. When any Capital Stock has been registered under
the Securities Act, and such Capital Stock has been sold pursuant to such registration or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or is eligible to be sold pursuant to such Rule without volume limitations or other restrictions, the holder of
such Capital Stock shall be entitled to exchange the certificate representing such Capital Stock for a certificate not bearing the legend required by Section 6.1. If any Capital Stock ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the holder of
such Capital Stock shall be entitled to exchange the certificate representing such Capital Stock for a certificate not bearing the legend required by Section 6.2. The Investor agrees that, in addition to complying with the restrictions
on Transfer set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the Investor and its Affiliates will not directly or indirectly Transfer any Capital Stock (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of any Capital Stock) in
violation of the Securities Act, applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws or any rules or regulations thereunder. 


  

	7	 Registration Rights 


  

	 	7.1	 Shelf Registration 


 If requested by the Investor prior to the second anniversary of the closing of the Rights Offering, but subject to the Transfer restrictions set forth in Section 4.2, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
qualify for registration on and to file, a registration statement on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms or any similar short-form registration (“Short-Form Registration Statement”), and such Short-Form
Registration Statement will be a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis, of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 from and after the second anniversary of the
closing of the Rights Offering. In no event shall the Company be obligated to effect any shelf other than pursuant to a Short-Form Registration Statement. Upon filing a Short-Form Registration Statement, the Company will, if applicable, use its
commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Short-Form Registration Statement to be declared effective, and (ii) keep such Short-Form Registration Statement effective with the SEC at all times. Any Short-Form Registration Statement
shall be re-filed upon its expiration, and the Company shall cooperate in any shelf take-down by amending or supplementing the prospectus statement related to such Short-Form Registration Statement as may be reasonably requested by a Holder or as
otherwise required, until the Holders who would require such registration to effect a sale of the Registrable Securities no longer hold the Registrable Securities so registered; provided that no Holder may be permitted to sell under such
“shelf” registration statement during such times as the trading window is not open for Company senior management in accordance with the Company’s policies. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any
Short-Form Registration Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are under its control to become a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (and not become an
ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act)). 
  

 17 








	 	7.2	 Demand Registration 


 At any time following the second anniversary of the closing of the Rights Offering, but subject to the Transfer restrictions set forth in Section 4.2, if (i) the Company has been requested and has not filed, and caused to
be effective and maintained the effectiveness of a “shelf” registration statement pursuant to Section 7.1 or (ii) the Holders intend that the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Request shall be distributed
by means of an underwritten offering, the Investor may request in writing that the Company effect the registration of all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders on whose behalf the Investor has made the request (a
“Registration Request”). Promptly after its receipt of any Registration Request but no later than ten (10) days after receipt of such Registration Request, the Company will give written notice of such request to the other
Holders, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all Registrable Securities that have been requested to be registered in the Registration Request or by the other Holders by
written notice to the Company given within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date the Company has given such notice of the Registration Request; provided that, with respect to an underwritten offering, the Company will not be required
to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 7.2 unless the value of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Request is at least $50 million or $10 million in the case of a Short-Form Registration. Any registration
requested by the Investor pursuant to this Section 7.2 is referred to in this Agreement as a “Demand Registration.” 
  

	 	7.3	 Limitations on Demand Registrations 


 The Investor will be entitled to initiate no more than three (3) Demand Registrations, and the Company will not be obligated to effect more than one Demand Registration in any six month period. No request for
registration will count for the purposes of the limitations in this Section 7.3 if (i) the Registration Statement relating to such request is not declared effective within 180 days of the date such Registration Statement is first
filed with the SEC (other than solely by reason of the participating Holders having refused to proceed or provide any required information for inclusion therein) and the Investor withdraws the Registration Request prior to such Registration
Statement being declared effective, (ii) prior to the sale of at least ninety percent (90%) of the Registrable Securities included in the applicable registration relating to such request, such Registration Statement is adversely affected
by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other Governmental Authority for any reason and the Company fails to have such stop order, injunction or other order or requirement removed, withdrawn or resolved to the
Investor’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days of the date of such order, or (iii) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such request
are not satisfied (other than as a result of a default or breach thereunder by the Investor or other Holders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any request for registration pursuant to
Section 7.2 regardless of whether or not such request counts toward the limitation set forth above until three (3) Demand Registrations have been initiated that count towards such limitation. 
  

 18 








	 	7.4	 Restrictions on Registrations 


 If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement would require the Company to make a public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure in the good faith judgment
of the Board (i) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement so that such Registration Statement would not be materially misleading, (ii) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing, effectiveness or
continued use of such Registration Statement, and (iii) would in the good faith judgment of the Board (A) reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Company or its business if made at such time, or (B) reasonably be excepted to
interfere with the Company’s ability to effect a planned or proposed acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction or (C) otherwise require premature disclosure of material information that
the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, then the Company may upon giving prompt written notice of such determination of the Board to the participants in such registration (each of whom hereby agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of all information disclosed to such participants, provided that the Company shall not be required to disclose the nature of the delay or other confidential information) delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or
suspend use of, such Registration Statement; provided, that the Company shall not be permitted to do so (x) for more than sixty (60) days for a given occurrence of such a circumstance or (y) more than two (2) times during
any twelve-month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, promptly upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of any prospectus relating to such registration
in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. If the Company so postpones the filing of a prospectus or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Investor will be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request
is promptly withdrawn, such registration request will not count for the purposes of the limitation set forth in Section 7.3. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any such aborted registration or
prospectus. 
  

	 	7.5	 Selection of Underwriters 


 If the Investor intends that the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Request shall be distributed by means of an underwritten offering, the Investor will so advise the Company as a part of the
Registration Request, and the Company will include such information in the notice sent by the Company to the Holders with respect to such Registration Request. In such event, the lead underwriter to administer the offering will be chosen by the
Company in such offering, subject to the prior written consent of the Investor, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the offering is underwritten, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 7 will be
conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and each such Holder will (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder may promptly elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing
underwriter and the Investor. 
  

 19 








	 	7.6	 Priority on Demand Registrations 


  

	 	7.6.1  	 The Company will not include in any Demand Registration by means of an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 7 any securities that
are not Registrable Securities, without the prior written consent of the Investor. If the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable opinion the number of Registrable Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities
requested to be included in such offering) exceeds the number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Company
will include in such offering only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share
offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, Registrable Securities of any Holder on whose behalf the Investor has submitted a Registration Request, (ii) second, Registrable
Securities of any other Holder who has delivered written requests for registration pursuant to Section 7.2, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Person, and (iii) third, any
other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included, subject to the terms of this Agreement 


  

	 	7.6.2  	 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Section 7 if the Company, within ten
(10) days of the receipt of the request of the Investor, gives notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a registration statement or prospectus supplement to a shelf registration statement with the SEC within forty five
(45) days of receipt of such request (other than with respect to a registration statement relating to a Rule 145 transaction, an offering solely to employees, or any other registration which is not appropriate for the registration of
Registrable Securities). 


  

	 	7.7	 Piggyback Registrations 


  

	 	7.7.1  	 Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock in connection with a public offering of such securities solely for cash, other than a
registration pursuant to Section 7.2 or on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or successor form), and the registration form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of Registrable Securities of the same class as
being sold by the Company, the Company will give prompt written notice to the Holders of its intention to effect such a registration (but in no event less than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated filing date) and, subject to
Section 7.7.4, will include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after the date of the Company’s notice (a
“Piggyback Registration”). Any such Holder 



  

 20 








	 	 
that has made such a written request may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving prompt written notice to the Company
and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the planned effective date of such Piggyback
Registration. The Company may terminate or withdraw any registration under this Section 7.7.1 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not the Holders have elected to include Registrable Securities in such
registration. 


  

	 	7.7.2  	 If the registration referred to in Section 7.7.1 is proposed to be underwritten, the Company will so advise the Holders as a part of the
written notice given pursuant to Section 7.7.1. In such event, the right of the Holders to registration pursuant to this Section 7.7 will be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the
inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and each such Person will (together with the Company and the other Persons distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. If any participating Holder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Person may promptly elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to
the Company and the managing underwriter. 


  

	 	7.7.3  	 If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable opinion the
number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Company will
include in such registration or prospectus only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share
offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) Registrable Securities of the Holders who have requested registration of Registrable
Securities pursuant to Sections 7.7.1, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of such securities or shares owned by each such Holder, and (iii) third, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so
included. 


  

	 	7.8	 Registration Procedures 


 Subject to Section 7.4, whenever the Holders have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 of this Agreement, the Company will
use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with the 

  

 21 







 
intended method of disposition thereof and pursuant thereto. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as expeditiously as possible:

  

	 	7.8.1  	 prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, make all required filings with the National

copies of all such documents proposed to be filed and such other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, which documents will be subject to review and reasonable comment of such counsel at the Company’s expense, including any comment
letter from the SEC with respect to such filing or the documents incorporated by reference therein, and if requested by such counsel, provide such counsel reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and
such other opportunities to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, including reasonable access to the Company’s financial books and records, officers, accountants and other advisors;



  

	 	7.8.2  	 prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement

prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer or (iii) continuously in the case of shelf registration statements and any shelf registration statement shall be
re-filed upon its expiration (or in each case such shorter period ending on the date that the securities covered by such shelf registration statement cease to constitute Registrable Securities) or (B) such shorter period as will terminate when
all of the securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement (but in any event not before the
expiration of any longer period required under the Securities Act), and cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any prospectus supplement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
disposition of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act;

filed under Rule 424, Rule 430A or Rule 430B under the Securities Act and any “issuer free writing prospectus” as such term is defined under Rule 433 promulgated under the Securities Act), all exhibits and other documents filed therewith
and such other documents as such Holder or such managing underwriter may reasonably request including in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder, and upon request a copy of any and all transmittal

to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder (provided, that the Company will 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 subsection, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);

be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, prospectus or documents and, as soon as reasonably practicable (but subject to the delay provisions of
Section 7.4), prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of material fact

material fact necessary in order to make the statement therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; 


  

	 	7.8.6  	 notify each participating Holder, the Holders’ Counsel and the managing underwriter(s), if any, (i) when such Registration Statement or the
prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has 



  

 23

7.8.6(v) (but subject to the delay provisions of Section 7.4), prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference, or file any other required document so that such prospectus as thereafter delivered to the participating Holders will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; 


  

	 	7.8.8  	 cause all such Registrable Securities, other than the Warrant, to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company

shall not be required to make members of management and executives of the Company 



  

 24 








	 	 
so available for more than five consecutive days or more than 10 days in any 365 day period); 


  

	 	7.8.11  	 in connection with any underwritten offering, make such representations and warranties to the participating Holders and the managing underwriter(s), if

distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. 
  

	 	7.9	 Registration Expenses 


  

	 	7.9.1	 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all expenses incidental to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, 



  

 26 








	 	 
including all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, word processing, duplicating and printing
expenses, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any road show, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants and other persons retained by the
Company (all such expenses, “Registration Expenses”), will be borne by the Company. The Company will, in any event, pay its internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or
accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expenses of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which they are required to be
listed hereunder. The Holders of the securities so registered shall pay all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities hereunder and any other Registration Expenses required by law
to be paid by a selling holder pro rata on the basis of the amount of proceeds from the sale of their shares so registered. 


  

	 	7.9.2	 In connection with each Demand Registration and each Piggyback Registration, the Company will reimburse the Holders participating in such registration for
the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel (“Holders’ Counsel”). 


  

	 	7.10	 Participation in Underwritten Registrations 


  

	 	7.10.1  	 No Holder may participate in any registration hereunder that is underwritten unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the
basis provided in the underwriting arrangements in customary form entered into pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the managing underwriter(s),
provided, that no such Holder will be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder has requested the Company to include in any registration), (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, provided, that such Holder shall not be required to make any representations or warranties other than
those related to title and ownership of shares and as to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in a Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company or the managing underwriter(s) by such Holder, and (iii) cooperates with the Company’s reasonable requests in connection with such registration or qualification (it being understood that the Company’s failure
to perform its obligations hereunder, which failure is caused by such Holder’s failure to cooperate with such reasonable requests, will not constitute a breach by the Company of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability




  

 27 








	 	 
of any Holder participating in such an underwritten registration shall be limited to an amount equal to the amount of gross proceeds attributable to the sale
of such Person’s Registrable Securities. 


  

	 	7.10.2  	 Each Holder that is participating in any registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of
the kind described in Section 7.4, 7.8.5 and 7.8.6, such Holder will forthwith discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Holder receives copies of a
supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by such Section 7.8.5, 7.8.6 and 7.8.7. In the event the Company gives any such notice, the applicable time period mentioned in Section 7.8.2 during which a
Registration Statement is to remain effective will be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to this Section 7.10.2 to and including the date when each Holder of
a Registrable Security covered by such Registration Statement will have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 7.8.5, 7.8.6 and 7.8.7. 


  

	 	7.11	 Rule 144 


 The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to timely file all reports and other documents 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 a Holder, make publicly available such information as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act), and it will take such further
action as any Holder may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by
(i) Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the reasonable request of any Holder, the Company will deliver
to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information requirements, and, if not, the specifics thereof. 
  

	 	7.12	 Holdback 


 In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder (and any transferee) agrees in connection with any registration of the Company’s securities (whether or not such Person is participating in
such registration) upon the request of the Company and the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company’s securities, not to effect (other than pursuant to such registration) any public sale or distribution of Registrable
Securities, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A, or make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of or Transfer any Registrable Securities, any other equity securities of the Company or
any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company or 

  

 28 







 
such underwriters, as the case may be, during the Holdback Period; provided, that nothing herein will prevent any such Holder that is a partnership or
corporation from making a distribution of Registrable Securities to the partners or shareholders thereof or a transfer to an Affiliate that is otherwise in compliance with applicable securities laws, so long as such distributees or transferees agree
to be bound by the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.12. With respect to such underwritten offering of Registrable Securities covered by a registration pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3, the Company further agrees
not to effect (other than pursuant to such registration or pursuant to a Special Registration) any public sale or distribution, or to file any Registration Statement (other than such registration or a Special Registration) covering any of its equity
securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the Holdback Period with respect to such underwritten offering, if required by the managing underwriter.
