2. General; Securities Subject to this Agreement. 

(a) Grant of Rights.    The Company hereby grants registration rights to the Designated
Stockholders upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 (b) Registrable
Securities.    For the purposes of this Agreement, Registrable Securities held by any Designated Stockholder will cease to be Registrable Securities, when (i) a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities
has been declared effective under the Securities Act by the Commission and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement, (ii) in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, the entire amount of the Registrable Securities held by any Designated Stockholder may be sold in a single sale, without any limitation as to volume or manner of sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or
(iii) the Registrable Securities have ceased to be outstanding. 
 (c) Holders of Registrable
Securities.    A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns of record Registrable Securities, or holds an option to purchase, or a security convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for, Registrable Securities whether or not such purchase, conversion, exercise or exchange has actually been effected. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the
same Registrable Securities, the Company may act upon the basis of the instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities. Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise of an option or
upon conversion, exercise or exchange of another security shall be deemed outstanding for the purposes of this Agreement. 

(d) Transfer of Registration Rights. 

(i) Each Designated Stockholder may transfer or pledge Registrable Securities with the associated registration rights
under this Agreement (including transfers occurring by operation of law or by reason of intestacy) to a Permitted Assignee or a pledgee (“Pledgee”) only if (1) such Permitted Assignee or Pledgee agrees in writing to be bound as
a Designated Stockholder by the provisions of this Agreement, such agreement being substantially in the form of Annex A hereto, and (2)(A) immediately following such transfer or pledge, the further disposition or transfer of such
Registrable Securities by such Permitted Assignee or Pledgee would be restricted under the Securities Act and, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the entire amount of all such Registrable Securities could not be sold
in a single sale, without any limitation as to volume or manner of sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or (B) such Permitted Assignee or Pledgee, together with its Affiliates, beneficially owns Registrable
Securities representing more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of such transfer or pledge. Upon any transfer or pledge of Registrable Securities other than as set forth in this Section 2(d), such securities shall
no longer constitute Registrable Securities. 
 (ii) Subject to Section 2(b) hereof, if a Designated
Stockholder assigns its rights under this Agreement in connection with the transfer of less than all of its Registrable Securities, the Designated Stockholder shall retain its rights under this Agreement with respect to its remaining Registrable
Securities. If a Designated Stockholder assigns its rights under this Agreement in connection with the transfer of all of its Registrable Securities, such Designated Stockholder shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement,
except under Section 8 hereof in respect of offerings in which it participated. 
  

 5 








 3. Demand Registration. 

(a) Request for Demand Registration.    To the extent permitted by applicable law and
regulations, at any time that the Company is not eligible to use Form S-3 under the Securities Act in connection with a secondary public offering of its equity securities after March 1, 2011, the Initiating Holders may make a written request to the
Company to register, and the Company shall register, under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (a “Demand Registration”), the
number of Registrable Securities stated in such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect (i) more than two such Demand Registrations, (ii) a Demand Registration if the Initiating Holders
propose to sell Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration at an anticipated aggregate offering price (calculated based upon the Market Price of the Registrable Securities on the date on which the Company receives the written request for
such Demand Registration) to the public of less than $20,000,000 unless such Demand Registration includes all of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities or (iii) any such Demand Registration within the Specified Period (or such shorter
period as the Company may determine in its sole discretion) after the effective date of any other Registration Statement of the Company (other than a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8). For purposes of the preceding sentence, two or
more Registration Statements related to the same offering by virtue of Rule 462(b) filed in response to one demand shall be counted as one Demand Registration. In addition, if (1) the Board of Directors, in its good faith judgment, determines
that any registration of Registrable Securities should not be made or continued because it would materially impede, delay or interfere with any material financing, offer and sale of securities, acquisition, merger, tender offer, business
combination, corporate reorganization or other significant transaction involving the Company or because such registration would require the Company to disclose material nonpublic information that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed under
applicable law and (2) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such proposed transaction or information (a “Valid Business Reason”), (x) the Company may postpone filing a
Registration Statement (but not the preparation of the Registration Statement) relating to a Demand Registration until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than ninety days after the date when the Demand Registration
was requested or, if later, after the occurrence of the Valid Business Reason and (y) in case a Registration Statement has been filed relating to a Demand Registration, the Company may postpone amending or supplementing such Registration
Statement (in which case, if the Valid Business Reason no longer exists or if more than ninety days have passed since such postponement, the Initiating Holders may request a new Demand Registration (which request shall not be counted as an
additional Demand Registration for purposes of clause (i) above) or request the prompt amendment or supplement of such Registration Statement). The Company shall give written notice to all Designated Stockholders of its determination to
postpone filing, amending or supplementing a Registration Statement and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Company may not postpone a filing, amendment or supplement under this Section 3(a) due to a Valid Business Reason more than once in any six-month period. Each request for a Demand Registration by the Initiating Holders
shall state the type and amount of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method of disposition thereof. 

(b) Incidental or “Piggy-Back” Rights with Respect to a Demand Registration.    Any
Designated Stockholder which has not requested a registration under Section 3(a) hereof may, pursuant to this Section 3(b), offer its Registrable Securities under any Demand Registration. The Company shall (i) as promptly as
practicable, but in no event later than five Business Days after the receipt of a request for a Demand Registration from the Initiating Holders, give written notice thereof to all of the Designated Stockholders (other than Initiating Holders
which have requested a registration under Section 3(a) hereof), which notice shall specify the type and number of Registrable Securities subject to the request for Demand Registration, the names of the Initiating Holders and the intended method
of disposition of such Registrable Securities, and (ii) subject to Section 3(e) hereof, include in the Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Demand Registration all of the Registrable Securities held by such Designated Stockholders
from whom the 
  

 6 








 
Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within five Business Days of the date on which such Designated Stockholders received the written notice referred to in clause
(i) above. Each such request by such Designated Stockholders shall specify the type and number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered. The failure of any Designated Stockholder to respond within such five Business Day period
referred to in clause (ii) above shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Designated Stockholder’s rights under this Section 3(b) with respect to such Demand Registration. Any Designated Stockholder may waive its rights under this
Section 3(b) by giving written notice to the Company. 
 (c) Effective Demand
Registration.    Subject to Section 3(a), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account, among other things, accounting and regulatory matters) to file a Registration Statement relating
to the Demand Registration and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable but in no event later than one hundred twenty days after it receives a request under
Section 3(a) hereof and to remain continuously effective for the lesser of (i) the period during which all Registrable Securities registered in the Demand Registration are sold or (ii) one hundred twenty days; provided,
however, that a registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration if (x) after such Demand Registration has become effective, such registration or the related offer, sale or distribution of Registrable Securities thereunder is
interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable to the Designated Stockholders and such interference is not thereafter eliminated or
(y) the conditions specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied or waived as a result of an action or inaction by the Company. 

(d) Expenses.    Except as provided in Section 3(g) or 7(d) hereof, the Company shall pay
all Registration Expenses in connection with a Demand Registration, whether or not such Demand Registration becomes effective. 

(e) Underwriting Procedures.    If the Majority Initiating Holders so elect, the Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the offering made pursuant to such Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 3 to be in the form of a firm commitment underwritten public offering and the managing 

underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering shall be the Approved Underwriter selected in accordance with Section 3(f)
hereof. In connection with any Demand Registration under this Section 3 involving an underwritten public offering, none of the Registrable Securities held by any Designated Stockholder making a request for inclusion of such Registrable
Securities pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b) hereof shall be included in such underwritten public offering unless such Designated Stockholder accepts the terms of the offering as agreed upon by the Company, the Majority Initiating Holders and
the Approved Underwriter (including, without limitation, offering price, underwriting commissions or discounts and lockup agreement terms), and then only in such quantity as set forth below. If the Approved Underwriter advises the Company that the
aggregate amount of such Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering is sufficiently large to have a material adverse effect on the distribution or sales price of the Registrable Securities in such offering, then the Company
shall include in such Demand Registration, to the extent of the amount that the Approved Underwriter believes may be sold without causing such material adverse effect, first, such number of Registrable Securities of the Designated
Stockholders that are participating in such offering pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b) hereof, which Registrable Securities shall be allocated pro rata among such Designated Stockholders participating in the offering, based on the number of
Registrable Securities held by each such Designated Stockholder, second, any other securities of the Company requested by any other holders thereof to be included in such registration, pro rata among such other holders based on the number of
securities held by each such holder, and third, securities offered by the Company for its own account. 

(f) Selection of Underwriters.    If any Demand Registration or S-3 Registration, as the case
may be, of Registrable Securities is in the form of an underwritten public offering, the Company shall select and obtain one or more investment banking firms of national reputation to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters of the offering;
provided, however, that such firm or firms shall, in any case, also be approved 
  

 7 








 
by the Majority Initiating Holders or Majority Shelf Take-Down Stockholders, as the case may be, such approval not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld. An investment banking firm or firms
selected pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall be referred to as the “Approved Underwriter” herein. 

(g) Withdrawal.    The Majority Initiating Holders shall be entitled to withdraw or revoke a
request for a Demand Registration without the prior written consent of the Company if (i) such withdrawal or revocation is as a result of facts or circumstances arising after the date on which a request for a Demand Registration was made and
the Majority Initiating Holders reasonably determine that participation in such registration would have a material adverse effect on the Initiating Holders or (ii) the Initiating Holders agree to pay all fees and expenses incurred by the
Company in connection with such withdrawn registration (each, a “Permitted Withdrawal”). If a Permitted Withdrawal occurs under clause (i) above, the related Demand Registration shall be counted as a Demand Registration for
purposes of Section 3(a) hereof, and if a Permitted Withdrawal occurs under clause (ii) above, the related Demand Registration shall not be counted as a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 3(a) hereof. Any Permitted Withdrawal
shall constitute and effect an automatic withdrawal by all other Initiating Holders and any other Designated Stockholder participating in such Demand Registration pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof. 

4. Incidental or “Piggy-Back” Registration. 

(a) Request for Incidental or “Piggy-Back” Registration.    After March 1, 2011, if
the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement with respect to an offering of Common Stock by the Company for its own account (other than a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8) or for the account of any stockholder of the Company
other than Designated Stockholders pursuant to Sections 3 and 5 hereof, then the Company shall give written notice (an “Incidental Registration Notice”) of such proposed filing to each of the Designated Stockholders at least
ten Business Days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the proposed registration and distribution and offer such Designated Stockholders the opportunity to register the number of Registrable Securities that each such
Designated Stockholder may request (an “Incidental Registration”). Any such request by a Designated Stockholder must be made in writing and received by the Company within five Business Days of the date on which the Designated
Stockholder received the Incidental Registration Notice. The failure of any Designated Stockholder to respond to an Incidental Registration Notice within five Business Days shall be deemed a waiver of such Designated Stockholder’s rights under
this Section 4(a) with respect to such Incidental Registration. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of a proposed underwritten public offering (the
“Company Underwriter”) to permit each Designated Stockholder who has requested in writing to participate in the Incidental Registration pursuant to this Section 4(a) to include the number of such Designated Stockholder’s
Registrable Securities indicated by such Designated Stockholder in such offering on the same terms and conditions as the Common Stock of the Company or the account of such other stockholder, as the case may be, included therein. Any withdrawal of
the Registration Statement by the Company for any reason shall constitute and effect an automatic withdrawal of any Incidental Registration related thereto. In connection with any Incidental Registration under this Section 4(a) involving an
underwritten public offering, the Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such underwritten public offering unless the Designated Stockholders thereof accept the terms of the underwritten public offering as agreed upon
between the Company, such other stockholders, if any, and the Company Underwriter (including, without limitation, offering price, underwriting commissions or discounts and lock-up agreement terms), and then only in such quantity as set forth below.
If the Company Underwriter determines that the aggregate amount of the securities requested to be included in such offering is sufficiently large to have a material adverse effect on the distribution or sales price of the securities in such
offering, then the Company shall include in such Incidental Registration, to the extent of the amount that the Company Underwriter believes may be sold without causing such material adverse effect, first, (i) all of the securities to be
offered for the account of the Company, in the case of a Company initiated Incidental Registration or (ii) all of the securities to be offered for the account of the stockholders who have requested such Incidental Registration, in the case of a
stockholder initiated Incidental Registration, second, any Registrable Securities and any other shares of Common Stock requested 

 

 8 








 
by holders thereof (including the Designated Stockholders) to be included in such registration (to the extent that the holders of such securities do not have priority to be included in such
registration), pro rata among the Designated Stockholders and such other holders based on the number of securities held by each such holder, and third, all of the securities to be offered for the account of the Company, in the case of an
Incidental Registration initiated by any stockholder of the Company. 
 (b)
Expenses.    Except as provided in Section 7(d) hereof, the Company shall bear all Registration Expenses in connection with any Incidental Registration pursuant to this Section 4, whether or not such Incidental
Registration becomes effective. 
 5. Form S-3 Registration. 

(a) Form S-3 Registration.    On or prior to the date that is 120 days following the date
of this Agreement, (the “Target Filing Date”), if the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 under the Securities Act in connection with a secondary public offering of its equity securities, the Company shall register under the
Securities Act on Form S-3 (an “S-3 Registration”) the sale of all of the Registrable Securities owned by the Designated Stockholders on the date hereof (which S-3 Registration shall be a shelf registration pursuant to
Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a Registration Statement relating to the S-3 Registration (taking into account, among other
things, accounting and regulatory matters) and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, in each case, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than one hundred twenty days after the
Target Filing Date. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Registration Statement for an S-3 Registration ceases to be effective after the third anniversary of its effectiveness, if the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 under the
Securities Act in connection with a secondary public offering of its equity securities, at the written request of the Majority Designated Stockholders, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a new Registration Statement
relating to the S-3 Registration (taking into account, among other things, accounting and regulatory matters) and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, in each case, as promptly as
practicable but in no event later than one hundred twenty days after the prior Registration Statement ceases to be effective; provided, that the Designated Stockholders request for inclusion in the new Registration Statement relating to such
S-3 Registration at least $20,000,000 of Registrable Securities (calculated based upon the Market Price of the Registrable Securities on the date which the Majority Designated Stockholders make such request). If the Majority S-3 Participating
Stockholders request, and if the Company is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, the Company shall cause such S-3 Registration to be made pursuant to an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement and may omit the names of the S-3 Participating Stockholders and
the amount of the Registrable Securities to be offered thereunder. Any Registration Statement filed under this Section 5(a) shall be referred to as a “Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement.” 

(b) Form S-3 Underwriting Procedures.    In an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, the managing
underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering shall be the Approved Underwriter selected in accordance with Section 3(f) hereof. In connection with an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, none of the Registrable Securities held by any
Designated Stockholder having such Registrable Securities included pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof shall be included in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down unless such Designated Stockholder accepts the terms of the offering as agreed upon by the
Company, the Majority Shelf Take-Down Stockholders and the Approved Underwriter (including, without limitation, offering price, underwriting commissions and discounts and lock-up agreement terms) and then only in such quantity as set forth below. If
the Approved Underwriter advises the Company that the aggregate amount of such Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering is sufficiently large to have a material adverse effect on the distribution or sales price of the
Registrable Securities in such offering then the Company shall include in such offering, to the extent of the amount that the Approved Underwriter believes may be sold without causing such material adverse effect, first, such number of
Registrable Securities of the Designated Stockholders that are participating in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, which Registrable 

 

 9 








 
Securities shall be allocated pro rata among such Designated Stockholders participating in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each such
Designated Stockholder, second, any other securities of the Company requested by any other holders thereof to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and third, securities offered by the Company for its own account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, immediately upon determination of the price at which such Registrable Securities are to be sold in an offering in an S-3 Registration that is an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, if such price is below the price which the
Majority Shelf Take-Down Stockholders find acceptable, then such Majority Shelf Take-Down Stockholders shall then have the right, by written notice to the Company, to withdraw their Registrable Securities from being included in such offering;
provided, that such a withdrawal by such Majority Shelf Take-Down Stockholders shall constitute and effect an automatic withdrawal by all other S-3 Participating Stockholders. 

(c) Limitations on Form S-3 Registrations.    If the Board of Directors determines that a
Valid Business Reason exists, (x) the Company may postpone filing a Registration Statement relating to an S-3 Registration (but not the preparation of the Registration Statement) until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no
event for more than ninety days after the Target Filing Date or, if later, after the occurrence of the Valid Business Reason and (y) in case a Registration Statement has been filed relating to an S-3 Registration, the Company may postpone
amending or supplementing such Registration Statement (in which case, if the Valid Business Reason no longer exists or if more than ninety days have passed since such postponement, the Majority S-3 Participating Stockholders may request the prompt
amendment or supplement of such Registration Statement or a new S-3 Registration). The Company shall give written notice to all Designated Stockholders of its determination to postpone or delay amending or supplementing a Registration Statement and
of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement or delay no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not postpone a filing or
delay amending or supplementing a filing under this Section 5(c) due to a Valid Business Reason more than once in any six-month period. 

(d) Expenses.    Except as provided in Section 7(d) hereof, the Company shall bear all
Registration Expenses in connection with any S-3 Registration pursuant to this Section 5, whether or not such S-3 Registration becomes effective. 

(e) Automatic Shelf Registration Statement.    After the Registration Statement with respect to
an S-3 Registration that is an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, upon written request by the S-3 Participating Stockholders, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable after receiving such request, (i) file with the
Commission a prospectus supplement naming the S-3 Participating Stockholders as selling stockholders and the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered and include, to the extent not included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement, any other information omitted from the Prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as permitted by Rule 430B promulgated under the Securities Act (including the plan of distribution and the names of any underwriters,
placement agents or brokers) and (ii) pay any necessary filing fees to the Commission within the time period required. 

(f) Shelf Take-Downs.    (i) Any Designated Stockholder (an “Initiating Shelf
Holder”) that holds Registrable Securities included in a Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement may initiate an offering or sale of all or part of such Registrable Securities (a “Shelf Take-Down”), in which case the
provisions of this Section 5(f) shall apply. 
 (ii) If in connection with any Shelf Take-Down, the Majority
Shelf Take-Down Stockholders so elect in a written request delivered to the Company (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”), a Shelf Take-Down may be in the form of an underwritten public offering (an “Underwritten Shelf
Take-Down”) and, subject to the limitations set forth in the proviso to Section 5(b), the Company shall file and effect an amendment or supplement to its Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose as soon as practicable.
Such Majority Shelf Take-Down Stockholders shall indicate in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice whether it intends for such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to involve a customary “road show” (including an “electronic road
show”) or other substantial marketing 
  

 10 








 
effort by the underwriters (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”). Upon receipt of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice indicating that such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down
will be a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, the Company shall promptly (but in any event no later than ten Business Days prior to the expected date of such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) give written notice of such Marketed Underwritten
Shelf Take-Down to all other S-3 Participating Stockholders and shall permit the participation of all such S-3 Participating Stockholders that request inclusion in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down who respond in writing within five
Business Days after the receipt of such notice of their election to participate. The provisions of Section 5(b) shall apply with respect to the right of the Initiating Shelf Holder and any other Shelf Holder to participate in any Underwritten
Shelf Take-Down. 
 (iii) If any Initiating Shelf Holder desires to effect a Shelf Take-Down that does not
constitute a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (a “Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), such Initiating Shelf Holder shall so indicate in a written request delivered to the Company no later than two Business Days prior
to the expected date of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, which request shall include (i) the total number of Registrable Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, (ii) the
expected plan of distribution of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and (iii) the action or actions required (including the timing thereof) in connection with such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (including the delivery of
one or more stock certificates representing shares of Registrable Securities to be sold in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down), and, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 5(a) and (b), the Company shall file and effect an
amendment or supplement to its Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose as soon as practicable. 
 6. Holdback
Agreements. 
 (a) Restrictions on Public Sale by Designated Stockholders. 

(i) To the extent requested by the Approved Underwriter or the Company Underwriter, as the case may be, in the case of an
underwritten public offering, each Designated Stockholder (other than any Pledgee) agrees (x) not to effect any public sale or distribution of any Registrable Securities or of any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
such Registrable Securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor rule or regulation) promulgated under the Securities Act, or offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any option
to purchase or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale of, any Registrable Securities and (y) except as otherwise consented to by the Company, not to make any request for a Demand Registration or
S-3 Registration under this Agreement, in each case, during the Specified Period following the effective date of such Registration Statement, except in each case as part of such underwritten public offering. 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Pledgee shall be required to agree to any restriction on its
ability to trade in any securities, including the restrictions set forth in this Section 6(a). The Designated Stockholders hereby agree that they shall act in good faith with respect to the restrictions set forth in this Section 6(a) and
shall take no action or omit to take any action with the intention of circumventing or evading the restrictions applicable to them under this Section 6(a). 

(b) Restrictions on Public Sale by the Company.    Unless the Company shall have received the
prior written consent of the Majority Designated Stockholders, the Company agrees not to (i) effect any public sale or distribution of any of its securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities
(except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8), (ii) file any Registration Statements relating to the registration of securities for the Company’s account (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8) or
(iii) make any public announcements related to clause (i) or (ii), in each case, during the period beginning on the effective date of any Registration Statement relating to an underwritten public offering in which the Designated
Stockholders of Registrable Securities are 
  

 11 








 
participating pursuant to Section 3 or 5 hereof and ending on the earlier of (x) the date on which all Registrable Securities registered on such Registration Statement are sold and
(y) the Specified Period after the effective date of such Registration Statement (except as part of such registration). 

7. Registration Procedures. 

(a) Obligations of the Company.    Whenever registration of Registrable Securities has
been requested or required pursuant to Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5 hereof, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended method of distribution thereof as quickly as practicable, and in connection with any such request, the Company shall: 

(i) use its commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account, among other things, accounting and regulatory matters)
to prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of such Registrable Securities
in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective; provided, however, that (x) before filing a Registration
Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including, without limitation, any documents incorporated by reference therein), or before using any Free Writing Prospectus, the Company shall provide one firm of legal counsel
selected by the Designated Stockholders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered in such registration (“Designated Stockholders’ Counsel”), any managing underwriter or broker/dealer participating in any
disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and any attorney retained by any such managing underwriter or broker/dealer (each, an “Inspector” and collectively, the “Inspectors”)
with an opportunity to review and comment on such Registration Statement and each Prospectus included therein (and each amendment or supplement thereto) and each Free Writing Prospectus to be filed with the Commission, subject to such documents
being under the Company’s control, and (y) the Company shall notify the Designated Stockholders’ Counsel and each seller of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement of any stop order issued or threatened by the
Commission and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered; 

(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to
such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the lesser of (x) one hundred twenty days (or, in the case of an S-3 Registration, three years
from the effective date of the Registration Statement if such Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act) and (y) such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement have been sold (or, if such Registration Statement is an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, on the third anniversary of the date of filing of such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement); and comply with
the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled at all reasonable times to suspend a Registration Statement that includes Registrable Securities during the pendency of any amendments required by this
Section 7(a)(ii). Such suspension or suspensions shall be effective upon the transmittal of notice to an affected Designated Stockholder in compliance with, and using the most expeditious practical means of communication permitted by,
Section 10(e) below; 
 (iii) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such number of copies of such
Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), any Prospectus filed under Rule 424
under the Securities Act and any Free Writing Prospectus as each such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller; 

 

 12 








 (iv) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such
Registrable Securities under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any seller of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, and continue such registration or qualification in effect in such jurisdiction for
as long as permissible pursuant to the laws of such jurisdiction, or for as long as any such seller requests or until all of such Registrable Securities are sold, whichever is shortest, and do any and all other acts and things which may be
reasonably necessary or advisable to enable any such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
(x) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (z) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 

(v) promptly following its actual knowledge thereof, notify each seller of Registrable Securities: (A) when a
Prospectus, any Prospectus supplement, any Free Writing Prospectus, a Registration Statement or a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (B) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement, related Prospectus or Free
Writing Prospectus or for additional information; (C) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for such purpose; and (D) of the existence of any fact or happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge which makes any statement of a material fact in such
Registration Statement, related Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue or which would require the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or
Free Writing Prospectus in order that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and that in the case of such Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
 (vi) use its
commercially reasonable efforts to, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 7(a)(v)(D) hereof or, subject to Sections 3(a) and 5(c) hereof, the existence of a Valid Business Reason, prepare a supplement or amendment to
such Registration Statement, related Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus and furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities a reasonable number of copies of such supplement to, or amendment of, such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Free
Writing Prospectus as may be necessary so that, after delivery to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of such Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 

(vii) enter into and perform customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Approved
Underwriter or Company Underwriter, if any, selected as provided in Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5 hereof, as the case may be) and take such other commercially reasonable actions as are reasonably required in order to facilitate
the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including causing its officers to participate in “road shows” and other information meetings organized by the Approved Underwriter or Company Underwriter; 

(viii) make available at reasonable times for inspection by any Inspector all pertinent financial and other records,
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries 
  

 13 








 
(collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s and its
subsidiaries’ officers, directors and employees, and the independent public accountants of the Company, to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement. Records that the
Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors (and the Inspectors shall confirm their agreement in writing in advance to the Company if the
Company shall so request) unless (x) the disclosure of such Records is necessary, in the Company’s judgment, to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement, (y) the release of such Records is ordered
pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom or (z) the information in such Records was known to the Inspectors on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by
the Company or has been made generally available to the public. Each seller of Registrable Securities agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, promptly give notice to
the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential. In the event that the Company is unsuccessful in preventing the disclosure of such Records,
such seller agrees that it shall furnish only such portion of those Records that it is advised by counsel is legally required and shall exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to
those Records; 
 (ix) if such sale is pursuant to an underwritten offering, obtain a “cold comfort”
letter dated the effective date of the Registration Statement and the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement from the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily
covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing underwriter reasonably requests; 
 (x) if such sale
is pursuant to an underwritten offering, furnish, at the request of any seller of Registrable Securities on the date such securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration, an opinion, dated such date, of counsel
representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters, covering such legal matters with respect to the registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the underwriters may reasonably request
and are customarily included in such opinions; 
 (xi) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of
the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than fifteen months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve months beginning
after the effective date of the Registration Statement, in a manner which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated under the Securities Act; 

(xii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the
Registration Statement, any shares of Common Stock included in the Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, including but not limited to the New York Stock Exchange, provided
that the applicable listing requirements are satisfied; 
 (xiii) cooperate with each seller of Registrable
Securities and each underwriter participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA; 

(xiv) cause the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such
other governmental agencies or authorities, as may be reasonably necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the seller or sellers of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities; 
 (xv) within the deadlines specified by the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder,
make all required filings of all Prospectuses and Free Writing Prospectuses with the Commission; 
  

 14 








 (xvi) within the deadlines specified by the Securities Act and the rules
promulgated thereunder, make all required filing fee payments in respect of any Registration Statement or Prospectus used under this Agreement (and any offering covered thereby); and 

(xvii) take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated
hereby and reasonably cooperate with the holders of such Registrable Securities to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant thereto. 

(b) Seller Requirements.    In connection with any offering under any Registration Statement
under this Agreement, each Designated Stockholder (i) shall promptly furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Designated Stockholder and the intended method of disposition of its Registrable Securities as the
Company may reasonably request or as may be required by law or regulations for use in connection with any related Registration Statement or Prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) and all information required to be disclosed in order to make
the information previously furnished to the Company by such Designated Stockholder not contain a material misstatement of fact or necessary to cause such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) not to omit a
material fact with respect to such Designated Stockholder necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) shall comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and all applicable state securities laws and comply with
all applicable regulations in connection with the registration and the disposition of the Registrable Securities; and (iii) shall not use any Free Writing Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Company. If any seller of Registrable
Securities fails to provide such information required to be included in such Registration Statement by applicable securities laws or otherwise necessary or desirable in connection with the disposition of such Registrable Securities in a timely
manner after written request therefor, the Company may exclude such seller’s Registrable Securities from a registration under Sections 3, 4 or 5 hereof. 

(c) Notice to Discontinue.    Each Designated Stockholder agrees that, upon receipt of any
notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 7(a)(v)(D) hereof or, subject to Section 3(a) and 5(c) hereof, the existence of Valid Business Reason, such Designated Stockholder shall forthwith
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Designated Stockholder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or Free
Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 7(a)(vi) hereof (or if no supplemental or amended prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus is required, upon confirmation from the Company that use of the Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus is
once again permitted) and, if so directed by the Company, such Designated Stockholder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Designated Stockholder’s possession, of
the Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities which is current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give any such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such Registration
Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the period referred to in Section 7(a)(ii) hereof) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such
notice pursuant to Section 7(a)(v)(D) hereof to and including the date when sellers of such Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or Free Writing
Prospectus contemplated by and meeting the requirements of Section 7(a)(v) hereof (or if no supplemental or amended prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus is required, upon confirmation from the Company that use of the Prospectus or Free Writing
Prospectus is once again permitted). 
 (d) Registration Expenses.    Except as
otherwise provided herein, including but not limited to the last sentence of this Section 7(d), the Company shall pay all expenses arising from or incident to its performance of, or compliance with, this Agreement, including, without
limitation (i) all expenses, including filing fees, in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or final prospectus and amendments and supplements thereto, (ii) Commission, stock
exchange and FINRA registration (including any counsel retained in connection with FINRA registration) and filing fees, (iii) transfer agents’ and registrars’ fees and expenses, (iv) all fees and expenses incurred in complying
with 
  

 15 








 
state securities or “blue sky” laws (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to any underwriter incurred in connection with “blue sky” qualifications
of the Registrable Securities as may be set forth in any underwriting agreement), (v) all printing, messenger and delivery expenses, (vi) the fees, charges and expenses of counsel to the Company and of its independent registered
public accounting firm and any other accounting fees, charges and expenses incurred by the Company (including, without limitation, any expenses arising from any “cold comfort” letters or any special audits incident to or required by
any registration or qualification) and (vii) any liability insurance or other premiums for insurance obtained in connection with any Demand Registration or piggy-back registration thereon, Incidental Registration or S-3 Registration pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, regardless of whether such Registration Statement is declared effective. All of the expenses described in the preceding sentence of this Section 7(d) are referred to herein as “Registration
Expenses.” The Designated Stockholders of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to a Registration Statement shall bear the expense of any broker’s commission or underwriter’s discount or commission relating to the registration and
sale of such Designated Stockholders’ Registrable Securities and shall bear the fees and expenses of their own counsel. 

8. Indemnification; Contribution. 

(a) Indemnification by the Company.     The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
each Designated Stockholder, its partners, directors, officers, Affiliates, stockholders, members, employees, trustees and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) such Designated Stockholder from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, or any action or proceeding in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, reasonable costs and expenses of legal counsel arising from any investigation, action or proceeding
in respect of any of the foregoing) (each, a “Liability” and collectively, “Liabilities”), arising out of or based upon (a) any untrue, or allegedly untrue, statement of a material fact contained in the
Disclosure Package, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto; and (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Package, the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading under the circumstances such statements were made;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be held liable in any such case to the extent that any such Liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
contained in such Disclosure Package, Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus or such amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information concerning such Designated Stockholder furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of such Designated Stockholder expressly for use therein, including, without limitation, the information furnished to the Company pursuant to Sections 7(b) and 8(b) hereof. The Company shall also provide customary
indemnities to any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers, directors and employees and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above
with respect to the indemnification of the Designated Stockholders of Registrable Securities. 
 (b)
Indemnification by Designated Stockholders.    In connection with any offering in which a Designated Stockholder is participating pursuant to Section 3, 4 or 5 hereof, such Designated Stockholder agrees severally to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the other Designated Stockholders, any underwriter retained by the Company and each Person who controls the Company, the other Designated Stockholders or such underwriter (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Designated Stockholders (including indemnification of their respective partners, directors, officers, Affiliates, stockholders, members,
employees, trustees and Controlling Persons), but only to the extent that Liabilities arise out of or are based upon a statement or alleged statement or an omission or alleged omission that was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information with respect to such Designated Stockholder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Designated Stockholder expressly for use in such Disclosure Package, Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus or
such amendment or supplement thereto, including, 
  

 16 








 
without limitation, the information furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof; provided, however, that the total amount to be indemnified by such Designated
Stockholder pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Designated Stockholders in the offering to which such Disclosure Package, Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus or such
amendment or supplement thereto relates. 
 (c) Conduct of Indemnification
Proceedings.    Any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying
Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification
or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder (except
to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced or otherwise forfeits substantive rights or defenses by reason of such failure). If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above
provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by
it and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and such parties have been advised by such counsel that either
(x) representation of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or (y) there may be one or more legal defenses available to the
Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party. In any of such cases, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party, it
being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties
and all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as incurred. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the consent of such Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnified Party is a
party and indemnity has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. 

(d) Contribution.    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 from the
Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Liabilities referred to herein, then each 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 Liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the
actions which resulted in such Liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults 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 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. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b) and 8(c) hereof, any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in 

 

 17 








 
connection with any investigation or proceeding; provided, that the total amount to be contributed by any Designated Stockholder shall be limited to the net proceeds (after deducting the
underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such Designated Stockholder in the offering. 
 The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) 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 immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 9. Rule 144.    The Company covenants that it shall take
such action as may be required from time to time to enable such Designated Stockholder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144
under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the Commission. The Company shall, upon the request of any Designated Stockholder, deliver to such
Designated Stockholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 
 10. Miscellaneous.

 (a) Stock Splits, etc.    The provisions of this Agreement shall be appropriately
adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date hereof. 

(b) No Inconsistent Agreements.    The Company hereby represents and warrants that it has not
previously entered into any agreement granting registration rights to any Person with respect to any securities of the Company. The Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights
granted to the Designated Stockholders in this Agreement or grant any additional registration rights to any Person or with respect to any securities that are not Registrable Securities which rights are inconsistent with the rights granted in this
Agreement. 
 (c) Remedies.    The Designated Stockholders, in addition to being
entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of their rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 

(d) Amendments and Waivers.    Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this
Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless consented to in writing by the Company and the Majority Designated Stockholders; provided,
however, that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof shall be effective if such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof materially and
adversely affects the substantive rights or obligations of one Designated Stockholder, or group of Designated Stockholders, without a similar and proportionate effect on the substantive rights or obligations of all Designated Stockholders, unless
each such disproportionately affected Designated Stockholder consents in writing thereto. 
 (e)
