(C)  third, the number of securities proposed to be registered by the Company for its own account.


Section 3.06  Withdrawal Rights .  Any Stockholder having notified or directed the Company to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in a registration statement under the Securities Act shall have the right to withdraw any such notice or direction with respect to any or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration by giving written notice to such effect to the Company prior to the public announcement of the registration. In the event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable registration and such Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities for all purposes of this Agreement. No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn.  If a Stockholder withdraws its notification or direction to the Company to include any of its Registrable Securities in a registration statement in accordance with this Section 3.06, such Stockholder shall be required to promptly reimburse the Company for incremental reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in connection with preparing for the sale of the Registrable Securities withdrawn.


Section 3.07  Suspension Periods .


-25-


---




(a)  The Company may delay or suspend (a) the use by any Stockholder of the Exchange Registration, (b) the use by the H&F Holders and AIC of any Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 3.03(a) or (b), or (c) the effectiveness of any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement (including by withdrawing such registration statement or declining to amend it or by taking other actions otherwise required hereunder with regard thereto), by delivering a certificate to each Stockholder certifying that the Company has elected to impose a Suspension Period (as defined below) pursuant to this Section 3.07 and specifying the period.  The Company shall be entitled to impose a Suspension Period only if the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Legal Officer, in his or her good faith judgment, believes that the use or effectiveness of such registration statement would require the Company to make public disclosure of material non-public information (x) the failure of which to be disclosed in the registration statement would constitute a material misstatement or omission, (y) the disclosure of which would not be required at such time but for the filing or effectiveness of the registration statement and (z) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not disclosing such information publicly.  Any period during which the Company has delayed or suspended the use of any Exchange Registration or Shelf Registration or any other matters referenced above pursuant to this Section 3.07 is herein called a “ Suspension Period ”, and shall be for a reasonable time specified in the aforementioned certificate but in no event shall the number of days covered by any one or more Suspension Periods exceed 60 days in the aggregate during any rolling period of 365 days; provided that, with respect to the H&F Holders only, in no event shall the number of days covered by any one or more Suspension Periods exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate during any rolling period of 365 days so long as the director nominee designated by the H&F Holders pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement is a director of the Company or a Board observer.  The Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to disclose any information with respect to the Suspension Period (including the reason therefor) other than to provide the certificate referenced above. Each Stockholder acknowledges that the existence of a Suspension Period may constitute material, non-public information about the Company or its securities and, accordingly, hereby agrees to keep confidential the existence of each Suspension Period, including any such certificate and the receipt thereof, and, for the duration of each Suspension Period, to refrain from making any offers, sales or purchases of Registrable Securities or any other securities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including through others or by means of any short sale or derivative transaction (or from directing any other Person to make such offers, sales or purchases or to refrain from doing so).


(b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company also shall not be required to effect a registration, and no Stockholder shall have the right to use or sell securities pursuant to any registration statement, pursuant to this Agreement during any period beginning on the fifteenth day of the last month of each fiscal quarter and ending at the opening of regular session trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading day after the later of (x) the day on which the Company releases its earnings for that fiscal period and (y) the Company’s earnings conference call for that fiscal quarter; provided that this Section 3.07(b) shall apply to the H&F Holders only for so long as the director nominee designated by the H&F Holders pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement is a director of the Company or a Board observer.

Section 3.08  Holdback Agreements .


(a)  Subject to Section 3.08(b), if and to the extent requested in writing by the sole or managing underwriter in connection with any Underwritten Public Offering, both the Company and the Stockholders shall agree (it being understood that no such Stockholder shall be requested to so agree unless all such Stockholders are requested to do so), not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of any shares of Class A Common Stock or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities (except as part of such Underwritten Public Offering) during the period (each such period, a “ Holdback Period ”) beginning ten (10) days prior to the launch of the Underwritten Public Offering and ending no later than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days following the closing date of such offering and (ii) such day (if any) as the Company or the Stockholder(s), as applicable, and the sole or managing underwriter for such offering shall agree to designate for this purpose (such agreement a “ Holdback Agreement ”).


(b)  Neither the Company, nor the Stockholders shall be obligated to enter into a Holdback Agreement unless the Company’s directors and executive officers (including, but not limited to, any executive officer that is deemed an officer for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act) enter into agreements substantially similar to such Holdback Agreement.  A Holdback Agreement shall not apply to the exercise of options to purchase shares of the Company ( provided that such restrictions shall apply with respect to the securities issuable upon such exercise).  For any Underwritten Public Offering other than the IPO Follow-On Underwritten Offering and the H&F Additional Demand Registration, any Stockholders that (i) are or were holders of Class A common units of Holdings or (ii) have an Economic Interest in the Company of less than 5% and, in either case, are not participating in such Underwritten Public Offering, shall not be required to enter into a Holdback Agreement pursuant to Section 3.08(a).


Section 3.09  Registration Procedures .  In connection with any Shelf Registration or Underwritten Public Offering, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the paragraphs below shall be applicable:

-27-

(b)  After the effectiveness of the registration statement, the Company shall (i) cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, (ii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Stockholders thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to such prospectus and (iii) promptly notify each Stockholder holding Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC or any state securities commission and use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry of such stop order or to obtain the withdrawal of such order if entered.


(c)  To the extent any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) is used, the Company shall file with the SEC any free writing prospectus that is required to be filed by the Company with the SEC in accordance with the Securities Act and retain any free writing prospectus not required to be filed.


(d)  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Stockholder holding such Registrable Securities (in light of such Stockholder’s intended plan of distribution) or each underwriter reasonably requests and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Stockholder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such person; provided that the Company shall not be required to (x) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3.09(d), (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (z) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.


(e)  The Company shall immediately notify each Stockholder holding such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement or each underwriter at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event (such an event, a “ Material Event ”) requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an 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 not misleading and promptly prepare and make available to each such Stockholder or underwriter, if any, and file with the SEC any such supplement or amendment.


(f)  The Company shall have the right to select an underwriter or underwriters in connection with any Underwritten Public Offering other than a Demand Registration.  The Requesting Holder shall have the right to select the underwriter or underwriters in connection with any Demand Registration; provided that (i) such underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company and (ii) the Requesting Holder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the selected underwriter to engage the same counsel as served as


-28-


---




underwriter’s counsel in the most recent Underwritten Public Offering (or in the IPO, if applicable).  In connection with any Underwritten Public Offering, the Company shall enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in any such Underwritten Public Offering, including, if necessary, the engagement of a “qualified independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with FINRA.


(g)  Upon the execution of confidentiality agreements satisfactory in form and substance to the Company in the exercise of its good faith judgment, pursuant to the reasonable request of the Requesting Holder or any underwriter participating in an Underwritten Public Offering pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will give to each Requesting Holder and each underwriter and their respective counsel and accountants (collectively, the “ Inspectors ”) (i) reasonable and customary access to its books and records (“ Records ”) and (ii) such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers, employees, counsel and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements, as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Stockholder or underwriter, to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility.  Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and that it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (x) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission of a material fact in such registration statement or (y) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction.  Each Stockholder agrees that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it or its Affiliates as the basis for any market transactions in the Class A Common Stock unless and until such information is made generally available to the public.  Each Stockholder further agrees that, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential.


(h)  Upon the closing of each Underwritten Public Offering, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to each underwriter a signed counterpart, addressed to such underwriter, of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and (ii) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company’s independent public accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the kind customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as the sole or managing underwriter reasonably requests.


(i)  Each Stockholder requesting to register Registrable Securities shall promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding the distribution of the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required or advisable in connection with such registration.


(j)  Each Stockholder and each underwriter agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of a Material Event, such Stockholder or underwriter


-29-


---




shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Stockholder’s or underwriter’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.09(e).  If so directed by the Company, any Stockholder and underwriter shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than any permanent file copies then in such Stockholder’s or underwriter’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.


(k)  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to list all Registrable Securities on any securities exchange or quotation system on which any shares of Class A Common Stock are then listed.


(l)  The Company and each Stockholder shall use their reasonable best efforts to provide any documentation required by the transfer agent of Registrable Securities to remove any restrictive legends (or remove the analogous notation from the Company’s share registry) on Registrable Securities Transferred pursuant to the Exchange Registration, Shelf Registration, Demand Registration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the H&F Additional Demand Registration) or IPO Follow-On Underwritten Offering.


(m)  The Company shall cause appropriate officers of the Company or Holdings to (i) prepare and make presentations at any “road shows” and before analysts and (ii) otherwise use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate as reasonably requested by the underwriters in the offering, marketing or selling of the Registrable Securities; provided that, in the case of a Demand Registration, if the Company has already conducted the maximum number of Marketed Underwritten Offerings permitted pursuant to Section 3.03(d) at the request of a Requesting Holder, then the Company and its officers shall have no obligation in regard to such Requesting Holder to (x) participate in one-on-one meetings or calls between investors and management of the Company or (y) conduct or participate in (A) a customary roadshow or other marketing activity that requires members of the management of the Company to be out of the office for two (2) business days or more or (B) group meetings or calls between investors and management of the Company or any other substantial marketing effort by the underwriters over a period of at least forty-eight (48) hours.

Section 3.11  Participation In Public Offering .  No Stockholder may participate in any Underwritten Public Offering or Demand Registration hereunder unless such Stockholder (a) agrees to sell such Stockholder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and the provisions of this Agreement in respect of registration rights; provided that the H&F Holders shall not be required to complete or execute one or more powers of attorney required by the foregoing clause (b).


Section 3.12  Piggyback Registration .


(a)  After the First Year Lock-Up Expiration Date, if the Company at any time proposes to effect an Underwritten Public Offering of its Class A Common Stock for its own account or the account of any Stockholder (other than (i) pursuant to the IPO Follow-On Underwritten Offering, any Exchange Registration or Demand Registration or (ii) pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or S‐8 or any successor or similar forms) (a “ Piggyback Registration ”), the Company will give written notice at least ten (10) business days prior to the anticipated launch of such Underwritten Public Offering to each of the H&F Holders and, following an AIC Demand Event, AIC, which notice shall set forth the Company’s intention to effect the Underwritten Public Offering and the rights of each of the H&F Holders and AIC, as applicable, under this Section 3.12 and shall offer each of the H&F Holders and AIC, as applicable, the opportunity to sell in such Underwritten Public Offering the number of Registrable Securities as each may request, subject to the restrictions on Transfers herein and the provisions of this Section 3.12.  Upon the request of any H&F Holder or, following an AIC Demand Event, AIC, made within seven (7) business days after the receipt of notice from the Company (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be sold by such Stockholder), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in the Underwritten Public Offering all Registrable Securities that any H&F Holder or AIC have requested to sell.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the H&F Holders and AIC must sell their Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.12 to the underwriters selected by the Company and on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company.


(b)  The Company shall be liable for and pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Piggyback Registration.

Section 3.13  Other Registration Rights. Except as provided in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of AIC and the H&F Holders holding a majority of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities and Non-Registrable Securities then held by AIC and the H&F Holders, the Company shall not grant to any Person any registration rights with respect to any of its equity securities (or any securities convertible or exchangable into or exercisable for such securities) that are more favorable than the then-current registration rights of the H&F Holders and AIC (including, among others, the H&F Holders’ priority rights in accordance with Section 3.05 and Section 3.12(c)), provided that consent shall not be required from either AIC or the H&F Holders at any time after the Economic Interest of such party is less than five percent (5%).

The Company shall cooperate, to the extent commercially reasonable, with any Stockholders who shall Transfer any Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or 144A and shall provide to such Stockholders such information as such Stockholders shall reasonably request.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall at all times after the IPO:  (a) make and keep available public information, as those terms are contemplated by Rule 144 (or any successor or similar rule then in force); (b) timely file with the SEC all reports and other documents required to be filed under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (c) furnish to each Stockholder upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other information as such Stockholder may reasonably request in order to avail itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing such Stockholder to Transfer any Registrable Securities without registration.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.14, the Company may deregister under Section 12 of the Exchange Act if it is then permitted to do so pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.


Section 3.15  Securities Act Restrictions .


(a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Registrable Securities and Non-Registrable Securities may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

Except with respect to the Transfer of Class A Common Stock that was delivered pursuant to the Exchange Registration, prior to any Transfer of Registrable Securities or Non-Registrable Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration

statement, a Stockholder shall notify the Company of such Transfer and the Company may require the Stockholder to provide, prior to such Transfer, such evidence that the Transfer will comply with the Securities Act (including written representations or an opinion of counsel) as the Company may reasonably request.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3.15(a) shall be construed to contractually limit each Stockholder’s rights to Transfer or distribute Registrable Securities and Non-Registrable Securities beyond the limitations and restrictions imposed by the Securities Act, provided that any such Transfer or distribution will be subject to the immediately preceding sentence.


(b)  The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to any Registrable Securities or Non-Registrable Securities that are to be Transferred in contravention of this Agreement (including Section 3.07 and this Section 3.15).  Any certificates representing the Registrable Securities or Non-Registrable Securities may bear a legend (and the Company’s share registry may bear a notation) referencing the restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement, until such time as such securities have ceased to be or are to be Transferred in a manner that results in their ceasing to be, Registrable Securities.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.15, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the then-acting transfer agent to replace any such legended certificates with unlegended certificates (or remove the analogous notation from the Company’s share registry) within one (1) business day upon request by any Stockholder in order to facilitate a lawful Transfer or at any time after such shares cease to be Registrable Securities, provided that, if the Registrable Securities are to be Transferred otherwise than pursuant to the Exchange Registration, Shelf Registration, Demand Registration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the H&F Additional Demand Registration) or IPO Follow-On Underwritten Offering, the Stockholder shall have provided any documentation or information required from it to replace such legended certificates or remove such analogous notations.


ARTICLE IV


INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION


Section 4.01  Indemnification by the Company .  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Stockholder and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, managers, partners and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls such Stockholder or other indemnified person (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “ Losses ”) caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free-writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) relating to the Registrable Securities (in each case, as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by, resulting from or related to any


-33-


---




such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission so made based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by such Stockholder or on such Stockholder’s behalf expressly for use therein.  The Company also agrees to indemnify any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers, directors, employees and agents and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Stockholders provided in this Section 4.01.


Section 4.02  Indemnification by Selling Stockholders .  In connection with any registration statement in which a Stockholder is participating, each such Stockholder agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to severally but not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or such other indemnified person (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) from and against any and all Losses caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free-writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) relating to the Registrable Securities (in each case, as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission is caused by and contained in information so furnished in writing by such Stockholder or on such Stockholder’s behalf expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Stockholder shall be liable under this Section 4.02 for any Losses in excess of the net proceeds realized by such Stockholder in the sale of Registrable Securities of such Stockholder giving rise to such indemnification obligation.


Section 4.03  Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings .  If any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Article IV, such Person (an “ Indemnified Party ”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify.


In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (a) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (b) in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, including one or more defenses or counterclaims that


-34-


---




are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (c) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense within thirty (30) days of notice pursuant to this Section 4.03.  It is understood that, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.  In the case of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified Parties.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party shall effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding, and (y) does not include any injunctive or other equitable or non-monetary relief applicable to or affecting such Indemnified Party.


Section 4.04  Contribution .  If the indemnification provided for in this Article IV for the Indemnifying Party is not available to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Losses, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and 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 or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party under this Section 4.04 as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Article IV was available to such party in accordance with its terms.


The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.04 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of


-35-


---




Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.


Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04, no Stockholder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the net proceeds realized by such Stockholder from the sale of the Registrable Securities of such Stockholder in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation, except in the case of fraud by such Stockholder.


Section 4.05  Other Indemnification .  Indemnification similar to that specified herein (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each Stockholder participating therein with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any foreign, federal or state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the Securities Act.

Section 6.02  Assignability .  Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable without the prior consent of the Company; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, when a Person becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.03 an “assignment” for purposes of this Section 6.02 will not have occurred.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.


Section 6.03  Joinder .  Any Person (unless already bound hereby) who (a) receives a Unit after the execution of this Agreement or (b) any permitted transferee of Registrable Securities or Non-Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 2.01(a)(iii), 2.01(b)(iv), 2.01(c)(iv), 2.01(d)(iv) or 2.01(e)(iv) shall execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder to Resale and Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A and shall henceforth be a “Stockholder”.


Section 6.04  Amendments; Waivers .


(a)  No provision of this Agreement may be waived except by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom the waiver is to be enforced, provided that any waiver by the Company of any provision of this Agreement shall require approval of at least two thirds of the directors of the Company then in office.  For the avoidance of doubt, any waiver contemplated by clauses (a), (b) or (d) of Section 2.02 must be granted pursuant to the respective clause.  No provision of this Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing executed by the Company and the holders of at least two-thirds of the Capital Stock of the Company, in the aggregate, held by the Stockholders party hereto at the time of such proposed amendment or modification; provided that no such amendment or modification may be made without the consent of any Stockholder materially and adversely affected by such amendment or modification.


(b)  No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.


Section 6.05  Governing Law . This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.


Section 6.06  Consent to Jurisdiction .


(a)  Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such Court declines jurisdiction, the courts of the State of Delaware sitting in Wilmington, Delaware and of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware sitting in

Wilmington, Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Delaware State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such United States District Court.  Each party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.


(b)  Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 6.06(a).  Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.


(c)  Each party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 6.01.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.


Section 6.07  Waiver of Jury Trial .  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby .


Section 6.08  Specific Enforcement .

Section 6.09  Counterparts .  This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” data file) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Copies of executed counterparts transmitted by telecopy, by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” data file or other electronic transmission service shall be considered original executed counterparts for purposes of this Section 6.09.


Section 6.10  Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries .  This Agreement (i) constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, both oral and written, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and (ii) is not intended to confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto, except as provided in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 6.11  Severability .  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.


Section 6.12  Further Assurances .  The parties shall execute, deliver, acknowledge and file such further agreements and instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to make effective this Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein.


Section 6.13  Independent Nature of Stockholders’ Obligations and Rights .  The rights and obligations of each Stockholder hereunder are several and not joint with the rights and obligations of any other Stockholder hereunder. No Stockholder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Stockholder hereunder, nor shall any Stockholder have the right to enforce the rights or obligations of any other Stockholder hereunder. The obligations of each Stockholder hereunder are solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable solely by, the Company. The decision of each Stockholder to enter into this Agreement has been made by such Stockholder independently of any other Stockholder.  Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Stockholder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Stockholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Stockholders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company acknowledges that the Stockholders are not acting in concert or as a group and will not assert any such claim with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.
