This STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT, dated as of March 8, 2016 (this “Agreement”), is by and between Air Transport Services Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Amazon.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Amazon”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, on the date hereof, the Company and Amazon entered into an Investment Agreement (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Investment Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company shall issue on the date hereof Warrant-A and shall issue in the future Warrant-B (together, the “Warrants”) to Amazon, subject to the terms and conditions therein; and
WHEREAS, each of the parties wishes to set forth in this Agreement certain terms and conditions regarding, among other things, Amazon’s ownership of the Warrants and Warrant Shares, as applicable (the “Shares”);
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:
Article I 
 
Governance
1.1    Composition of the Board of Directors.
(a)    Upon the occurrence of the Amazon Investor Rights Initiation Event, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) shall promptly (and in any case within fifteen (15) Business Days) after receiving an Amazon Investor Rights Initiation Event Notice take all action necessary (including by amending the organizational documents of the Company, if necessary) to cause one (1) Amazon Designee to be appointed to the Board.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Amazon Investor Rights Initiation Event Notice shall be delivered in Amazon’s sole discretion, and nothing herein obligates Amazon to deliver such notice.
(b)    During the Amazon Investor Rights Period, subject to the other provisions of this Section 1.1, including Section 1.1(c), and Section 1.2, at each annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected to the Board, the Company shall nominate and use its reasonable best efforts (which shall, subject to Applicable Law, include including in any proxy statement used by the Company to solicit the vote of its stockholders in connection with any such meeting the recommendation of the Board that stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the slate

of directors) to cause the election to the Board of a slate of directors that includes one (1) Amazon Designee.
(c)    The Board or the Nominating and Governance Committee shall notify Amazon at least sixty (60) days prior to the time the Company requires information with respect to any proposed Amazon Designee for inclusion in a proxy statement for a meeting of stockholders.  At least thirty (30) days prior to such time, Amazon shall (i) notify the Company of the identity of any proposed Amazon Designee, in writing; (ii) furnish all information about such proposed Amazon Designee as shall be reasonably requested by the Board or the Nominating and Governance Committee (including, at a minimum, any information regarding such proposed Amazon Designee to the extent required by applicable securities laws or for any other person nominated for election to the Board); and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to cause the Amazon Designee to (x) meet with the Board and Nominating and Governance Committee (to the extent requested by the Board or the Nominating and Governance Committee), and (y) provide the Board or the Nominating and Governance Committee with a completed director and officer questionnaire in the form reasonably requested by the Board or Nominating and Governance Committee.
(d)    Subject to Section 1.1(c) and Section 1.2, so long as no Amazon Investor Rights Termination Event has occurred, in the event of (i) the death, disability, removal or resignation of an Amazon Director, the Board shall promptly appoint as a replacement Amazon Director the Amazon Designee designated by Amazon to fill the resulting vacancy, or (ii) the failure of an Amazon Designee to be elected to the Board at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which such Amazon Designee stood for election but was nevertheless not elected (such Amazon Designee, an “Amazon Specified Designee”), the Board shall promptly appoint another Amazon Designee designated by Amazon to serve in lieu of such Amazon Specified Designee as an Amazon Director during the term that such Amazon Specified Designee would have served had such Amazon Specified Designee been elected at such meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and, in each case of clause (i) and clause (ii), such individual shall then be deemed an Amazon Director for all purposes hereunder.  Neither the Company nor the Board shall remove any Amazon Director without the prior written consent of Amazon, unless such Amazon Director is no longer eligible for designation as a member of the Board pursuant to Section 1.2 or if to the extent necessary to remedy a breach of Section 1.5.
(e)    The Company shall at all times provide each Amazon Director (in his or her capacity as a member of the Board) with the same rights to indemnification and exculpation that it provides to the other members of the Board.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that any such indemnification obligations to indemnify or advance expenses to each Amazon Director, in his or her capacity as such, for the matters covered by such indemnification obligations, shall be the primary source of 


2


SV:315627.6
1001640689v15


Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.





indemnification and advancement of such Amazon Director in connection therewith, and any obligation on the part of any Amazon Indemnitor under any Amazon Indemnification Agreement to indemnify or advance expenses to such Amazon Director shall be secondary to the Company’s obligation and shall be reduced by any amount that such Amazon Director may collect as indemnification or advancement from the Company.  In the event that the Company fails to indemnify or advance expenses to such Amazon Director as required by such indemnification obligations and this Agreement (such unpaid amounts, the “Unpaid Indemnitee Amounts”), and any Amazon Indemnitor makes any payment to such Amazon Director in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses under any Amazon Indemnification Agreement on account of such Unpaid Indemnitee Amounts, such Amazon Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the rights of such Amazon Director under this Agreement in respect of such Unpaid Indemnitee Amounts.
1.2    Objection to Amazon Designee.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article I, Amazon shall not be entitled to designate a particular Amazon Designee (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any Amazon Director) to the Board pursuant to this Article I in the event that the Board reasonably determines that (i) the election of such Amazon Designee to the Board would cause the Company to not be in compliance with Applicable Law, (ii) such Amazon Designee would be required to disclose any of the events enumerated in Item 2(d) or (e) of Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act or Item 401(f) of Regulation S‐K under the Securities Act or is subject to any order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Authority prohibiting service as a director of any public company, (iii) such Amazon Designee is a director, officer, employee, equityholder or other Affiliate of a competitor of the Company, or (iv) such Amazon Designee is not reasonably acceptable to the independent members of the Board.  [*]  In any such case described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence, Amazon shall withdraw the designation of such proposed Amazon Designee and, so long as no Amazon Investor Rights Termination Event has occurred, be permitted to designate a replacement therefor (which replacement Amazon Designee shall also be subject to the requirements of this Section 1.2).
1.3    No Adverse Action; Voting Agreement.
(a)    Until the occurrence of the Amazon Investor Rights Termination Event, without the prior consent of Amazon (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as required by Applicable Law, neither the Company nor the Board shall (i) increase the size of the Board such that the number of directors on the Board is greater than nine (9) or (ii) take any action to cause the amendment of its charter, bylaws or other organizational documents such that Amazon’s rights under this Article I would not be given effect.
(b)    Amazon shall be entitled to vote the shares of Common Stock owned by it or any of its Permitted Transferees or over which it or any of its Permitted Transferees has voting control, up to 14.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock

(the “Voting Threshold”), in its sole and absolute discretion.  During any time in which the Standstill Period is in effect, Amazon shall cause the shares of Common Stock owned by it or any of its Permitted Transferees or over which it or any of its Permitted Transferees has voting control in excess of the Voting Threshold to be voted (including, if applicable, through the execution of one or more written consents if stockholders of the Company are requested to vote through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company): (x) in favor of all those persons nominated to serve as directors of the Company by the Board or its Nominating and Governance Committee and (y) with respect to any other action, proposal or other matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the, in accordance with the recommendation of the Board.
(c)    For so long as it is subject to the voting requirements of Section 1.3(b), Amazon hereby appoints the Chairman of the Board and any designee thereof, and each of them individually, its proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote or act by written consent during the term of this Agreement with respect to shares of Company Common Stock owned by Amazon or any of its Permitted Transferees or over which Amazon or any of its Permitted Transferees has voting control to be voted in accordance with Section 1.3(b).  This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of Amazon under this Agreement.  Amazon shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy; this proxy and power of attorney granted by Amazon shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement (but subject to Section 1.3(b)), shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient under Applicable Law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by Amazon with respect to shares of Company Common Stock.  The power of attorney granted by Amazon herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution or bankruptcy of Amazon.
1.4    Board Observer.  During the period from the date of this Agreement until the Amazon Investor Rights Initiation Event, Amazon shall have the right to designate one individual (the “Amazon Observer”) to attend all meetings of the Board in a non-voting, observer capacity.  The Amazon Observer shall be subject to the same criteria for acceptability as that of the Amazon Designee set forth in Section 1.2.  The Company shall provide to the Amazon Observer notice of such meetings and a copy of all materials provided to all the members of the Board in their capacity as such.  During the Amazon Investor Rights Period, Amazon shall be entitled to designate an observer to the Board in lieu of the Amazon Director.
1.5    Termination of Board Designation Rights.  Promptly upon the occurrence of the Amazon Investor Rights Termination Event, all obligations of the Company with respect to Amazon and the Amazon Director, Amazon Designee or Amazon Observer pursuant to this Article I shall terminate and, unless otherwise consented to by a majority

of the members of the Board (in each case, excluding the Amazon Director, if any), Amazon shall cause the Amazon Director to immediately resign from the Board and the Amazon Observer to cease attending meetings of the Board.
1.6    Information Rights.
(a)    For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Applicable Law, prior to the Amazon Investor Rights Termination Event, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall prepare and provide, or cause to be prepared and provided, to the Amazon Director (in his or her capacity as such) or the Amazon Observer, if applicable, any materials or other information prepared for or given to the Board or any committee of the Board (excluding any such materials or other information prepared for and given to solely to the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairman of the Board), as and when prepared for or given to any such other member, or any other materials or other information relating to the management, operations and finances of the Company and its Subsidiaries as and when generally provided to directors of the Company or as and when reasonably requested by the Amazon Director (in his or her capacity as such) or the Amazon Observer, if applicable; provided that the Company shall not be required to provide any information to the Amazon Director or to the Amazon Observer (i) if the Company determines, based upon written advice from outside counsel, that providing such information would reasonably be expected to jeopardize an attorney-client privilege or cause a loss of attorney work product protection or (ii) in respect of the Transaction Documents or any other contract between Amazon and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, that would adversely prejudice the Company; provided, further, that the Company shall use reasonable best efforts, and cooperate in good faith with the Amazon Director or the Amazon Observer, to develop and implement reasonable alternative arrangements to provide such Person with the intended benefits of this Section 1.6(a).  The Amazon Director and the Amazon Observer, if applicable, shall be bound by and subject to the same confidentiality obligations as each other director of the Company; provided, however, that the Amazon Director or the Amazon Observer may share such materials or other information with Amazon, subject to the provisions of Section 1.6(d).  During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall provide to Amazon within ten (10) days after the end of each fiscal quarter a capitalization table of the Company setting forth the number of outstanding shares at the end of such fiscal quarter calculated on a fully diluted basis without regard to exercise or conversion prices of derivative securities.  If the Company is at any time not subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) under the Exchange Act other than during the Amazon Investor Rights Period, it shall furnish Amazon with the information set forth on Schedule 1.6(a) hereto.

(b)    During the Amazon Investor Rights Period:
(i)    The Company and its Subsidiaries shall prepare and provide, or cause to be prepared and provided, to Amazon:
(A)    within the time periods applicable to the Company under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, all quarterly and annual financial statements required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10‐Q and 10‐K; and 
(B)    if the Company is at any time not subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) under the Exchange Act, the information set forth on Schedule 1.6(b)(i)(B) hereto.
(ii)    The Company shall consider and respond in good faith to reasonable requests for information, to the extent already existing or that can be prepared without excessive cost or management time, regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries from Amazon (to the extent such requests are made in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company), it being understood that the Company shall have discretion as to (1) whether or not to provide, in whole or in part, any such requested information and (2) whether or not to impose restrictions on Amazon with respect to the types or categories of Representatives to whom such information may be disclosed (including, for example, requiring that any such information be disclosed only to corporate staff of Amazon, and not to employees with operational responsibility), in each case in light of the nature of the request and the facts and circumstances at the time.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to provide any such information if (i) the Company determines that such information is competitively sensitive, (ii) the Company determines in good faith that providing such information would adversely affect the Company (taking into account the nature of the request and the facts and circumstances at such time) or (iii) providing such information (A) would reasonably be expected to jeopardize an attorney-client privilege or cause a loss of attorney work product protection, (B) would violate a confidentiality obligation to any person or (C) would violate any Applicable Law; provided, that, with respect to clauses (i)-(iii), the Company uses reasonable efforts, and cooperates in good faith with Amazon, to develop and implement reasonable alternative arrangements to provide Amazon (and its Representatives) with the intended benefits of this Section 1.6.
(c)    In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, during the Amazon Investor Rights Period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and provide, or to cause to be prepared and provided, including, if requested and reasonably available, in electronic data format, to Amazon, or to assist Amazon with preparing (at the expense of Amazon), in a reasonably

timely fashion upon reasonable prior request by Amazon any (i) financial information (including those described in clauses (A)-(B) of Section 1.6(b)(i)) or other data relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) any other relevant information or data, in each case to the extent necessary, as reasonably determined in good faith by Amazon for Amazon to (x) comply with GAAP or to comply with its reporting, filing, tax, accounting or other obligations under Applicable Law or (y) apply the equity method of accounting, in the event Amazon is required to account for its investment in the Company under the equity method of accounting under GAAP.  The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ representatives to cooperate in good faith with Amazon in connection with the foregoing; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Amazon or its Affiliates disclose (including by reflecting such information on their financial statements) any financial information or other financial data provided to Amazon pursuant to this Section 1.6 prior to the Company’s first publicly disclosing such information in its ordinary course of business, other than pursuant to the terms of Section 1.6(d)(i) or Section 1.6(d)(iv) (solely to the extent required by subpoena, order or other compulsory legal process).  Amazon shall promptly, upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any actions taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 1.6(c).
(d)    In furtherance of and not in limitation of any other similar agreement Amazon or any of its Representatives may have with the Company or its Subsidiaries, Amazon hereby agrees that all Confidential Information with respect to the Company shall be kept confidential by it and shall not be disclosed (including by reflecting such information on its financial statements) by it in any manner whatsoever, except as permitted by this Section 1.6(d).  Any Confidential Information may be disclosed:
(i)    by Amazon (x) to any of its Affiliates or (y) to its or its Affiliate’s respective directors, managers, officers, employees and authorized representatives (including attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors thereof) (each of the Persons described in clauses (x) and (y), collectively, for purposes of this Section 1.6(d) and the definition of Confidential Information, “Representatives” of Amazon), in each case, solely if and to the extent any such Person needs to be provided such Confidential Information to assist Amazon or its Affiliates in evaluating or reviewing its existing or prospective direct or indirect investment in the Company, including in connection with the disposition thereof.  Each Representative shall be deemed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 1.6(d) and Amazon shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 1.6(d) (or such other agreement or obligation, as applicable) by any of its Representatives;

(ii)    by Amazon or any of its Representatives to the extent the Company consents in writing;
(iii)    by Amazon or any of its Representatives to a potential Transferee (so long as such Transfer is permitted hereunder); provided, that such Transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 1.6(d) (or a confidentiality agreement having restrictions substantially similar to this Section 1.6(d)) and Amazon shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 1.6(d) (or such confidentiality agreement) by any such Transferee; or
(iv)    by Amazon or any of its Representatives to the extent that Amazon or such Representative has been advised by its outside counsel that such disclosure is required to be made by it under Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority; provided, that prior to making such disclosure, such Person uses commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, including, to the extent practicable and permitted by Applicable Law, consulting with the Company regarding such disclosure and, if reasonably requested by the Company, assisting the Company, at the Company’s expense, in seeking a protective order to prevent the requested disclosure; provided, further, that Amazon or such Representative, as the case may be, uses commercially reasonable efforts to disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information as is requested by the applicable Governmental Authority or as is, based on the advice of its outside counsel, legally required or compelled; and provided, further, that the parties hereto expressly agree that notwithstanding anything in the Confidentiality Agreement or any other confidentiality agreement between or among the Company, Amazon or its Affiliates or Representatives, to the contrary, any Confidential Information that is permitted to be disclosed or used in any manner pursuant to this Agreement can be so disclosed or used.
1.7    Tax Reporting Requirements.  The Company shall comply with all reporting requirements under Sections 6038, 6038B, and 6046 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or any successor thereto).  To the extent that Amazon is subject to the same reporting requirements, the Company shall file on Amazon’s behalf.  The Company also shall provide Amazon with any filings under such sections for Amazon’s review two months prior to the due date for filing (including extensions).  To the extent that the Company does not have a filing requirement under such sections, the Company shall, upon a request from Amazon, provide such information to Amazon as may be necessary to fulfill Amazon’s obligations thereunder.

Thereupon, the Company shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration as promptly as practicable (but no later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Demand) under the Securities Act of:
(i)    the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting Shareholders for disposition in accordance with the intended method of disposition stated in such Demand;

all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities and the additional shares of Company Common Stock, if any, to be so registered.
(b)    A Demand shall specify:  (i) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Demand Registration, (ii) the intended method of disposition in connection with such Demand Registration, to the extent then known, and (iii) the identity of the Requesting Shareholder(s).

(d)    Demand Registrations shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Shareholders.
(e)    The Company shall not be obligated to (i) subject to Section 4.1(c), maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act filed pursuant to a Demand Registration for a period longer than one hundred five (105) days or (ii) effect any Demand Registration (A) within ninety (90) days of a “firm commitment” Underwritten Offering in which all Demand Shareholders were offered “piggyback” rights pursuant to Section 4.2 (subject to Section 4.2(b)) and at least fifty percent (50%) of the number of Registrable Securities requested by such Demand Shareholders to be included in such Demand Registration were included, (B) within ninety (90) days of the completion of any other Demand Registration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement) or (C) if, in the Company’s good faith determination, it is not feasible for the Company to proceed with the Demand Registration because of the unavailability of audited or other required financial statements of the Company or any other Person; provided, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such financial statements as promptly as practicable.

(g)    If, in connection with a Demand Registration that involves an Underwritten Offering, the lead managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company that, in its (their) good faith opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities sought to be registered in connection with such Demand Registration would adversely affect the success thereof, then the Company shall include in such registration statement only such securities as the Company is advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such adverse effect as follows and in the following order of priority:  (i) first, up to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Demand Shareholders, which, in the opinion of the lead managing underwriter(s), can be sold without adversely affecting the success thereof, pro rata among such Demand Shareholders on the basis of the number of such Registrable Securities requested to be included by such Demand Shareholders; (ii) second, securities the Company proposes to sell; and (iii) third, all other securities of the Company duly requested to be included in such registration statement, pro rata on the basis of the amount of such other securities requested to be included or such other allocation method determined by the Company.
(h)    Any time that a Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, the Requesting Shareholder(s) shall select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) that will serve as managing underwriters (including which such managing underwriters will serve as lead or co-lead) and underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities; provided, that such investment banker(s) and manager(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
4.2    Piggyback Registrations.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, whenever the Company proposes to register any Company Common Stock (or any other securities that are of the same class or series as any Registrable Securities that are not shares of Company Common Stock) under the Securities Act (other than a registration by the Company (i) on Form S‐4 or any successor form thereto, (ii) on Form S‐8 or any successor form thereto, (iii) on a Shelf Registration Statement or (iv) pursuant to Section 4.1) (a “Piggyback

Registration”), whether for its own account or for the account of others, the Company shall give all Demand Shareholders prompt written notice thereof (but not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the filing by the Company with the Commission of any registration statement with respect thereto).  Such notice (a “Piggyback Notice”) shall specify the number of shares of Company Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing of such registration statement with the Commission, the proposed means of distribution and the proposed managing underwriter(s) (if any) and a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed minimum offering price of such shares of Company Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable), in each case to the extent then known.  Subject to Section 4.2(b), the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities held by Demand Shareholders (a “Piggyback Seller”) with respect to which the Company has received written requests (which written requests shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be disposed of by such Piggyback Seller) for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after such Piggyback Notice is received by such Piggyback Seller.
(b)    If, in connection with a Piggyback Registration that involves an Underwritten Offering, the lead managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all the securities sought to be included in such Piggyback Registration by (w) the Company, (x) other Persons who have sought to have shares of Company Common Stock registered in such Piggyback Registration pursuant to rights to demand (other than pursuant to so-called “piggyback” or other incidental or participation registration rights) such registration (such Persons being “Other Demanding Sellers”), (y) the Piggyback Sellers and (z) any other proposed sellers of shares of Company Common Stock (such Persons being “Other Proposed Sellers”), as the case may be, would adversely affect the success thereof, then the Company shall include in the registration statement applicable to such Piggyback Registration only such securities as the Company is so advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such an effect, as follows and in the following order of priority:
(i)    if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of shares of Company Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) to be sold by the Company as the Company, in its reasonable judgment, shall have determined, (B) second, Registrable Securities of Piggyback Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Piggyback Sellers, (C) third, shares of Company Common Stock sought to be registered by Other Demanding Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Other Demanding Sellers and (D) fourth, other shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be sold by any Other Proposed Sellers; or

(ii)    if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering other than for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of shares of Company Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) sought to be registered by each Other Demanding Seller pro rata in proportion to the number of securities sought to be registered by all such Other Demanding Sellers, (B) second, Registrable Securities of Piggyback Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Piggyback Sellers, (C) third, shares of Company Common Stock to be sold by the Company and (D) fourth, other shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be sold by any Other Proposed Sellers.
(c)    For clarity, in connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Section 4.2 for the Company’s account, the Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Piggyback Seller in the Underwritten Offering unless such Piggyback Seller accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s), which shall be selected by the Company.
(d)    If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any shares of Company Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable) as set forth in this Section 4.2 and prior to the time the registration statement filed in connection with such Piggyback Registration is declared effective, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such shares of Company Common Stock (or other securities, as applicable), the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Piggyback Sellers within five (5) Business Days thereof and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such particular withdrawn or abandoned Piggyback Registration; provided, that, if permitted pursuant to Section 4.1, the Demand Shareholders may continue the registration as a Demand Registration pursuant to the terms of Section 4.1.
4.3    Shelf Registration Statement.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and further subject to the availability of a registration statement on Form S‐3 or any successor form thereto (“Form S‐3”) to the Company, any of the Demand Shareholders may by written notice delivered to the Company (the “Shelf Notice”) require the Company to file as soon as reasonably practicable, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing date, a Form S‐3 providing for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an amount of Registrable Securities then held by such Demand Shareholders that equals or is greater than the Registrable Amount (the “Shelf Registration Statement”).  To the extent the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), the Company shall file the Shelf Registration Statement in the form of an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) or any successor form thereto.  If registering a number of Registrable Securities, the

Company shall pay the registration fee for all Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to an automatic shelf registration statement at the time of filing of the automatic shelf registration statement and shall not elect to pay any portion of the registration fee on a deferred basis.
(b)    Within ten (10) days after receipt of a Shelf Notice pursuant to Section 4.3(a), the Company will deliver written notice thereof to all other holders of Registrable Securities.  Each other holder of Registrable Securities may elect to participate with respect to its Registrable Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the plan and method of distribution set forth, or to be set forth, in such Shelf Registration Statement by delivering to the Company a written request to so participate within ten (10) days after the Shelf Notice is received by any such holder of Registrable Securities.
(c)    Subject to Section 4.3(d), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) three (3) years after the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective; and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold thereunder in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, or otherwise cease to be Registrable Securities.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities who elected to participate in the Shelf Registration Statement, to require such holders of Registrable Securities to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement during any Blackout Period.  In the event of a Blackout Period under clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the Company shall deliver to the Demand Shareholders requesting registration a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company certifying that, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the conditions described in clause (ii) of the definition of Blackout Period are met.  Such certificate shall contain an approximation of the anticipated delay.  Upon notice by the Company to the Demand Shareholders of any such determination, each Demand Shareholder covenants that it shall, subject to Applicable Law, keep the fact of any such notice strictly confidential, and, in the case of a Blackout Period pursuant to clause (ii)(y) of the definition of Blackout Period, promptly halt any offer, sale, trading or other Transfer by it or any of its Affiliates of any Registrable Securities for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company) and promptly halt any use, publication, dissemination or distribution of the Shelf Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein, and any amendment or supplement thereto by it and any of its Affiliates for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier

terminated in writing by the Company) and, if so directed in writing by the Company, will deliver to the Company any copies then in the Demand Shareholder’s possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that was in effect at the time of receipt of such notice.
(e)    After the expiration of any Blackout Period and without any further request from a holder of Registrable Securities, the Company, to the extent necessary, shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(f)    At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if any Demand Shareholder delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to sell all of part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Offering”), then the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering (taking into account, solely in connection with a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering, the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other holders pursuant to this Section 4.3).  In connection with any Shelf Offering that is an Underwritten Offering and where the plan of distribution set forth in the applicable Take-Down Notice includes a customary “road show” (including an “electronic road show”) or other substantial marketing effort by the Company and the underwriters (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering”):
(i)    such proposing Demand Shareholder(s) shall also deliver the Take-Down Notice to all other Demand Shareholders included on the Shelf Registration Statement and permit each such holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration Statement in the Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering if such holder notifies the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) and the Company within five (5) days after delivery of the Take-Down Notice to such holder; and
(ii)    if the lead managing underwriter(s) advises the Company and the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities sought to be sold in connection with such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering would adversely affect the success thereof, then there shall be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering only such securities as the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) is advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such adverse effect, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated in the same manner as described in Section 4.1(g).

Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Section 4.3, any Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering shall be subject to the same requirements, limitations and other provisions of this Article IV as would be applicable to a Demand Registration (i.e., as if such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering were a Demand Registration), including Section 4.1(e)(ii) and Section 4.1(g).
(g)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the requesting Demand Shareholder wishes to engage in a block sale (including a block sale off of a Shelf Registration Statement or an effective automatic shelf registration statement, or in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities under an automatic shelf registration statement for purposes of effectuating a block sale), then notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions hereunder, no Demand Shareholder shall be entitled to receive any notice of or have its Registrable Securities included in such block sale. 
4.4    Withdrawal Rights.  Any holder of Registrable Securities 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 effective date of such registration statement.  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 (subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement).  No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn; provided, however, that in the case of a Demand Registration, if such withdrawal shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included in such registration below the Registrable Amount, then the Company shall as promptly as practicable give each Demand Shareholder seeking to register Registrable Securities notice to such effect and, within ten (10) days following the mailing of such notice, such Demand Shareholder still seeking registration shall, by written notice to the Company, elect to register additional Registrable Securities to satisfy the Registrable Amount or elect that such registration statement not be filed or, if theretofore filed, be withdrawn.  During such ten (10) day period, the Company shall not file such registration statement if not theretofore filed or, if such registration statement has been theretofore filed, the Company shall not seek, and shall use reasonable best efforts to prevent, the effectiveness thereof.
4.5    Hedging Transactions.

Any written information regarding the Hedging Transaction provided to the Company by a Hedging Counterparty for inclusion in any registration statement, prospectus or free writing prospectus filed pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall, for purposes of Section 4.9, be deemed to be written information provided by a Selling Shareholder for purposes of Section 4.9; provided further that the term “Hedging Transaction” shall exclude any transactions in violation of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
(b)    If in connection with a Hedging Transaction, a Hedging Counterparty or any Affiliate thereof is (or may reasonably be considered) an underwriter or selling stockholder, then such Hedging Counterparty shall be required to provide customary indemnities to the Company regarding the plan of distribution and related matters.

The failure to so include in any registration statement the Registrable Securities of a holder of Registrable Securities(with regard to that registration statement) shall not result in any liability on the part of the Company to such holder.
(b)    The Company shall not grant any demand, piggyback or shelf registration rights the terms of which are senior to or conflict with the rights granted to Amazon hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of Amazon.

settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by any information furnished in writing to the Company by any other party expressly for use therein.
(b)    In connection with any registration statement in which a Selling Shareholder is participating, without limitation as to time, each such Selling Shareholder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and employees, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 4.10(b)) will reimburse the Company, its directors, officers and employees and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, in each case solely to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Selling Shareholder for inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Shareholder shall be liable under this Section 4.10(b) for amounts in excess of the net proceeds received by such holder in the offering giving rise to such liability.
(c)    Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis.
(d)    In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and acknowledging the obligations of the

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

The parties agree that failure of any party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including a party’s failure to take all actions as are necessary on such party’s part in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, will cause irreparable injury to the other party, for which monetary damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy.
