DEMAND AND PIGGYBACK RIGHTS

 

2.1          Right to Demand a Non-Shelf Registered Offering.

 

(a)           If at any time on or after the 180th day following the Effective Date, there is no effective Shelf Registration Statement on file with the SEC, then upon the written demand of Cadent (a “Cadent Demand Notice”) or HoldCo (a “HoldCo Demand Notice”), PubCo will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a non-shelf registered offering of Registrable Securities requested by any such demanding Securityholder to be included in such offering, provided that (i) the market value, based on the closing price of PubCo’s Class A Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the Demand Notice, of the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities held by the Securityholders that are requested in such Demand Notice to be included in such registered offering or underwritten takedown, as 

 

4











 

applicable, is at least $25,000,000, and (ii) each of Cadent and HoldCo shall be entitled to only three such non-shelf registered offering demands. For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise of a demand for a non-shelf registered offering by a permitted assign of Cadent or HoldCo shall count as a demand by Cadent or HoldCo, as applicable, for a non-shelf registered offering.

 

(b)           Any demanded non-shelf registered offering may, at PubCo’s option, include Shares to be sold by PubCo for its own account and will also include Registrable Securities to be sold by Securityholders that exercise their related piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof and any other Registrable Securities to be sold by the holders of registration rights granted other than pursuant to this Agreement exercising such rights, in each case, to the extent exercising such rights on a timely basis. In order to be valid, the Demand Notice must provide the information described in Section 3.1 hereof (if applicable) and Section 4.5 hereof or be followed by such information, when requested as contemplated by Section 4.5 hereof.

 

(c)           Without limiting any other obligations of PubCo hereunder, as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving a valid Demand Notice satisfying the criteria set forth in Section 2.1 hereof, PubCo shall file with the SEC a registration statement covering all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Notice as well as any other Registrable Securities as to which registration is properly requested in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof (which other Registrable Securities may be included by means of a pre-effective amendment) and any other registrable securities properly requested in accordance with other registration rights agreements with PubCo, but subject in each case to any cutbacks imposed in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof and the limitations set forth in Section 2.5 hereof.

 

2.2          Right to Piggyback on a Non-Shelf Registered Offering. After PubCo’s IPO, in connection with any registered offering of Shares covered by a non-shelf registration statement (whether pursuant to the exercise of demand rights or at the initiative of PubCo), the Securityholders may exercise piggyback rights to have included in such offering Registrable Securities held by them, subject in each case to any cutbacks imposed in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof and the limitations set forth in Section 2.5 hereof. PubCo will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement any such non-shelf registered offering.

 

2.3          Shelf Registration.  As promptly as practicable following the Shelf Eligibility Date, PubCo shall use commercially reasonably efforts to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) relating to the offer and sale of all Registrable Securities by the Securityholders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Securityholders and set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and, thereafter, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement that is not an automatically effective shelf registration statement, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act.

 

2.4          Demand and Piggyback Rights for Shelf Takedowns. Upon the demand of a Securityholder, made at any time and from time to time, PubCo will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a “takedown” of Registrable Securities off of an effective shelf registration statement.  A shelf takedown may take the form of an underwritten public offering provided that the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities that are requested to be included in such offering is at least $25,000,000.  In connection with any underwritten shelf takedown 

 

5











 

(whether pursuant to the exercise of such demand rights by the Securityholders, or at the initiative of PubCo), the Securityholders may exercise piggyback rights to have included in such takedown Registrable Securities held by them that are registered on such shelf.

 

2.5          Limitations on Demand and Piggyback Rights.

 

(a)           Any demand for a registered offering or takedown, and the exercise of any piggyback registration rights, will be subject to the constraints of any applicable lockup arrangements, and any such demand must be deferred until such lockup arrangements no longer apply.  If a demand has been made for a non-shelf registered offering or for an underwritten takedown, no further demands may be made so long as the related offering is still being pursued. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Securityholders will not have piggyback or other registration rights with respect to the following registered primary offerings by PubCo: (i) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans; (ii) a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 (or other similar successor forms then in effect under the Securities Act); (iii) a registration pursuant to which PubCo is offering to exchange its own Securities for other Securities; (iv) a registration statement relating solely to dividend reinvestment or similar plans; (v) a shelf registration statement pursuant to which only the initial purchasers and subsequent transferees of debt securities of PubCo or any Subsidiary that are convertible for Interests or Common Stock and that are initially issued pursuant to Rule 144A and/or Regulation S of the Securities Act may resell such notes and sell the common equity into which such notes may be converted; or (vi) a registration where the Registrable Securities are not being sold for cash.

 

(b)           PubCo may postpone the filing of a demanded registration statement, suspend the initial effectiveness of any shelf registration statement or delay offerings and sales under any effective shelf registration statement for a reasonable “blackout period” not in excess of 90 days if the board of directors of PubCo determines in good faith that such registration or offering could materially interfere with a bona fide business, acquisition or divestiture or financing transaction of PubCo or is reasonably likely to require premature disclosure of information, the premature disclosure of which could materially and adversely affect PubCo; provided that PubCo shall not delay the filing of any demanded registration statement more than once in any 12-month period. The blackout period will end upon the earlier to occur of, (i) in the case of a bona fide business, acquisition or divestiture or financing transaction, a date not later than 90 days from the date such deferral commenced, and (ii) in the case of disclosure of non-public information, the earlier to occur of (x) the filing by PubCo of its next succeeding Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, or (y) the date upon which such information is otherwise disclosed.

 

ARTICLE III

 

NOTICES, CUTBACKS AND OTHER MATTERS

 

3.1          Notifications Regarding Registration Statements. In order for Securityholders to exercise their right to demand that a registration statement be filed, they must include in their Demand Notice the number of Registrable Securities sought to be registered and the proposed plan of distribution.

3.2          Notifications Regarding Registration Piggyback Rights.

 

(a)           In the event that PubCo receives (i) any demand from Cadent or HoldCo, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, or (ii) if PubCo files a registration statement with respect to a non-shelf registered offering, PubCo will promptly give to each of the Securityholders a written notice thereof no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day following receipt by PubCo of such demand or the filing of such registration statement, as  applicable. Any Securityholder wishing to exercise its piggyback rights with respect to any such non-shelf registration statement must notify PubCo and the other Securityholders of the number of Registrable Securities it seeks to have included in such registration statement in a written notice. Such notice must be given as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day prior to (i) if applicable, the date on which the preliminary prospectus intended to be used in connection with pre-effective marketing efforts for the relevant offering is expected to be finalized, and (ii) in any case, the date on which the pricing of the relevant offering is expected to occur. No such notice is required in connection with a shelf registration statement, as Registrable Securities held by all Securityholders will be included up to the applicable percentage.

 

(b)           Pending any required public disclosure and subject to applicable legal requirements, the parties will maintain appropriate confidentiality of their discussions regarding a prospective non-shelf registration.

 

3.3          Notifications Regarding Demanded Underwritten Takedowns.

 

(a)           PubCo will keep the Securityholders reasonably apprised of all pertinent aspects of any underwritten shelf takedown demanded by Cadent or HoldCo, as applicable, in order that Securityholders may have a reasonable opportunity to exercise their related piggyback rights. Without limiting PubCo’s obligation as described in the preceding sentence, having a reasonable opportunity requires that the Securityholders be notified by PubCo of an anticipated underwritten takedown (whether pursuant to a demand made by Cadent or HoldCo, as applicable, or made at PubCo’s own initiative) no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) if applicable, the second Business Day prior to the date on which the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement intended to be used in connection with pre-pricing marketing efforts for such takedown is finalized, and (ii) in all cases, the second Business Day prior to the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown occurs.

 

(b)           Any Securityholder wishing to exercise its piggyback rights with respect to an underwritten shelf takedown must notify PubCo and the other Securityholders of the number of Registrable Securities it seeks to have included in such takedown. Such notice must be given as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) if applicable, the Business Day prior to the date on which the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement intended to be used in connection with marketing efforts for the relevant offering is expected to be finalized, and (ii) in all cases, the Business Day prior to the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown occurs.

 

7











 

(c)           Pending any required public disclosure and subject to applicable legal requirements, the parties will maintain appropriate confidentiality of their discussions regarding a prospective underwritten takedown.

 

3.4          Plan of Distribution, Underwriters, Advisors and Counsel. If a majority of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in an underwritten offering through a non-shelf registration statement or through a shelf takedown is being sold by PubCo for its own account, PubCo will be entitled to determine the plan of distribution and select the managing underwriters and any provider of advisory services for such offering. Otherwise, Securityholders holding a  majority of the Shares requested to be included in such offering will be entitled to determine the plan of distribution and select the managing underwriters and any provider of advisory services; provided that such investment banker or bankers, managers and providers of advisory services shall be reasonably satisfactory to PubCo), and will also be entitled to select counsel for the selling Securityholders (which may be the same as counsel for PubCo).

 

3.5          Cutbacks. If the managing underwriters advise PubCo and the selling Securityholders that, in their opinion, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in an underwritten offering exceeds the amount that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the Registrable Securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the marketability thereof, such offering will include only the number of Registrable Securities that the underwriters advise can be sold in such offering. If PubCo is selling Registrable Securities for its own account in such offering and the offering is not being made on account of a demand made by Cadent or HoldCo, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, PubCo will have first priority. If PubCo is selling Registrable Securities for its own account in such offering and the offering is being made on account of a demand made by Cadent or HoldCo, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the Person making the demand, whether it be Cadent or HoldCo, will have first priority. To the extent of any remaining capacity, and in all other cases, the selling Securityholders (and any other Persons having registration rights pari passu with the Securityholders and participating in such offering) and PubCo will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities initially requested by them to be included in such offering, without distinguishing between Securityholders (or other Persons exercising pari passu registration rights) based on who made the demand for such offering or otherwise.

 

3.6          Withdrawals. Even if Registrable Securities held by a Securityholder have been part of a registered underwritten offering, such Securityholder may, no later than the time at which the public offering price and underwriters’ discount are determined with the managing underwriter, decline to sell all or any portion of the Registrable Securities being offered for its account.

 

3.7          Lockups. In connection with any underwritten offering of Shares, PubCo and each Securityholder will agree (in the case of Securityholders, with respect to Registrable Securities respectively held by them) to be bound by the underwriting agreement’s lockup restrictions (which must apply in like manner to all of them) that are agreed to by PubCo. In addition, the Securityholders shall be bound by their obligations with respect to any lockup arrangements or other restrictions on transfer of Registrable Securities set forth in the A&R OpCo Agreement.

(e)           furnish counsel for each underwriter, if any, and for the Securityholders copies of any correspondence with the SEC or any state securities authority relating to the registration statement or prospectus;

 

(f)            otherwise use all reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including making available to its security holders an earnings statement covering at least 12 months which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar provision then in force); and

(a)           cooperate with the selling Securityholders and the sole underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the governing documents thereof) and registered in such names as the selling Securityholders or the sole underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any, may reasonably request at least five days prior to any sale of such Registrable Securities;

 

(b)           furnish to each Securityholder and to each underwriter, if any, participating in the relevant offering, without charge, as many copies of the applicable prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as such Securityholder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities; PubCo hereby consents to the use of the prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus, by each such

(c)           (1) use all reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities being offered and sold, no later than the time the applicable registration statement becomes effective, under all applicable state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each underwriter, if any, or any Securityholder holding Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement, shall reasonably request; (2) use all reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective; and (3) do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each such underwriter, if any, and Securityholder to consummate the disposition in each  such jurisdiction of such Registrable Securities owned by such Securityholder; provided, however, that PubCo shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to consent to be subject to general service of process (other than service of process in connection with such registration or qualification or any sale of Registrable Securities in connection therewith) in any such jurisdiction;

 

(d)           cause all Registrable Securities being sold to be qualified for inclusion in or listed on any Recognized Exchange on which Registrable Securities issued by PubCo are then so qualified or listed if so requested by the Securityholders, or if so requested by the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any;

4.4          Due Diligence. In connection with each registration and offering of Registrable Securities to be sold by Securityholders, PubCo will, in accordance with customary practice, make available for inspection by representatives of the Securityholders and underwriters and any counsel or accountant retained by such Securityholders or underwriters all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of PubCo and cause appropriate officers, managers, employees, outside counsel and accountants of PubCo to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, counsel or accountant in connection with their due diligence exercise, including through in-person meetings, but subject to customary privilege constraints.

 

4.5          Information from Securityholders. Each Securityholder that holds Registrable Securities covered by any registration statement will furnish to PubCo such information regarding itself as is required to be included in the registration statement or is otherwise required by FINRA or the SEC in connection with such registration statement, the ownership of Registrable Securities by such Securityholder and the proposed distribution by such Securityholder of such Registrable Securities as PubCo may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

 

4.6          Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration statement or registered offering covering Registrable Securities held by the Securityholders will be borne by PubCo. However, underwriters’, brokers’ and dealers’ discounts and commissions applicable to Registrable Securities sold for the account of a Securityholder will be borne by such Securityholder.

ARTICLE V

 

INDEMNIFICATION

 

5.1          Indemnification by PubCo. In the event of any registration under the Securities Act by any registration statement pursuant to rights granted in this Agreement of Registrable Securities held by Securityholders, PubCo will indemnify and hold harmless Securityholders, their officers, directors and affiliates, and each underwriter of such securities and each other Person, if any, who Controls any Securityholder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (including legal fees and costs of court), joint or several, to which Securityholders or such underwriter or controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, including any amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened, and shall promptly reimburse such Persons, as and when incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with  investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or any actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any violation or alleged violation by PubCo of the Securities Act, any blue sky laws, securities laws or other applicable laws of any state or country in which such Shares are offered and relating to action taken or action or inaction required of PubCo in connection with such offering, or arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (i) contained, on its effective date, in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or which arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) contained in any preliminary prospectus, if used prior to the effective date of such registration statement, or in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if PubCo shall have filed with the SEC any amendment or supplement to the final prospectus), or which arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in such prospectus or necessary to make the statements in such prospectus not misleading; and will reimburse Securityholders and each such underwriter and each such controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, or liability; provided, however, that PubCo shall not be liable to any Securityholder or its underwriters or controlling Persons in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to PubCo through a written instrument duly executed by Securityholders or such underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

 

5.2          Indemnification by Securityholders. Each Securityholder as a condition to including Registrable Securities in such registration statement will indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 5.1 hereof) PubCo, each director of PubCo, each officer of PubCo who shall sign the registration statement, and any Person who Controls PubCo within the meaning of the Securities Act, (i) with respect to any statement or omission from such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement to it, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to PubCo through a written instrument duly executed by such Securityholder 

 

13











 

specifically regarding such Securityholder for use in the preparation of such registration statement or amendment or supplement, and (ii) with respect to compliance by such Securityholder with applicable laws in effecting the sale or other disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement.

 

5.3          Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 hereof, the indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made or may be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to such indemnifying party of the commencement of the action. The failure of any indemnified party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations in this Article V, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by the failure to give notice. If any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume defense of  the action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the latter in connection with the action’s defense other than reasonable costs of investigation. An indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action or proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such indemnified party’s expense unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense and employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within thirty (30) days after notice of any such action or proceeding, or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party), it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to all local counsel which is necessary, in the good faith opinion of both counsel for the indemnifying party and counsel for the indemnified party in order to adequately represent the indemnified parties) for the indemnified party and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred upon written request and presentation of invoices. Whether or not a defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (i) does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the claimant or plaintiff, to the indemnified party, of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation or (ii) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any non-financial obligations on the indemnified party.

 

5.4          Contribution. If the indemnification required by this Article V from the indemnifying party is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any indemnifiable losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, then the 

 

14











 

indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefit of the indemnifying and indemnified parties and (ii) if the allocation in clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit referred to in clause (i) and also the relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying parties, in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by a party shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it bear to the total amounts (including, in the case of any underwriter, any underwriting commissions and discounts) received by each other party. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by  a party as a result of the losses, claims, damage, liabilities, and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. PubCo and the Securityholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the prior provisions of this Section 5.4.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.4, no indemnifying party shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the securities were offered to the public by such indemnifying party exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of an untrue statement or omission. 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 a fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

OTHER AGREEMENTS

 

6.1          Assignment. No Securityholder shall assign all or any part of this Agreement without the prior written consent of PubCo; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of PubCo, each of Cadent and HoldCo may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part to (x) any of their respective Affiliates and/or (y) any Person who becomes a holder of Registrable Securities upon a distribution by Cadent or HoldCo, as applicable, of shares of Class A Common Stock or OpCo Units to its members, limited partners or stockholders that becomes a party hereto by executing and delivering an assignment and joinder agreement to PubCo, substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

15











 

6.2          Merger or Consolidation. In the event PubCo engages in a merger or consolidation in which the Registrable Securities are converted into securities of another company, appropriate arrangements will be made so that the registration rights provided under this Agreement continue to be provided to Securityholders by the issuer of such securities. To the extent such new issuer, or any other company acquired by PubCo in a merger or consolidation, was bound by registration rights obligations that would conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, PubCo will, unless Securityholders then holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities otherwise agree, use its commercially reasonable efforts to modify any such “inherited” registration rights obligations so as not to interfere in any material respects with the rights provided under this Agreement. To the extent any such modification of “inherited” registration rights disproportionately and adversely impacts any Securityholder hereunder, such modification shall not be effective as to such Securityholder without the consent of such Securityholder.

 

6.3          Limited Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the members, general partners, limited partners or managing directors, or any directors or officers of any members, general or limited partner, advisory director, nor any future members, general partners, limited partners, advisory directors, or managing directors, if any, of any Securityholder  shall have any personal liability for performance of any obligation of such Securityholder under this Agreement in excess of the respective capital contributions of such members, general partners, limited partners, advisory directors or managing directors to such Securityholder.

 

6.4          Rule 144. If PubCo is subject to the requirements of Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, PubCo covenants that it will file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (or, if PubCo is subject to the requirements of Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act but is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Securityholder, make publicly available such information) and it will take such further action as any Securityholder may reasonably request, so as to enable such Securityholder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Securityholder, PubCo will deliver to such Securityholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.4 shall not in any way limit or otherwise modify any applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in the A&R OpCo Agreement.

 

6.5          In-Kind Distributions. If any Securityholder seeks to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of its Registrable Securities to its direct or indirect equityholders, PubCo will, subject to applicable lockups, work with such Securityholder and PubCo’s transfer agent to facilitate such in-kind distribution in the manner reasonably requested by such Securityholder.

18











 

hereunder of Cadent or HoldCo shall require the prior written consent of Cadent or HoldCo, as applicable; provided, further, that any amendment that would disproportionately and adversely impact (i) the rights hereunder of the Securityholders party hereto other than Cadent without similarly affecting the rights hereunder of Cadent (other than the granting of demand rights to any new party to become a Securityholder hereunder and rights incidental thereto) shall require the prior approval of a such Securityholders other than Cadent holding a majority of the Registrable Securities held by such Securityholders, (ii) the rights hereunder of any Securityholder other than Cadent without similarly affecting the rights hereunder of all other Securityholders other than Cadent shall require the prior written consent of such Securityholder.

19

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND JOINDER
