 2. Company Registration. 
 (a)
Right to Register. Whenever the Company proposes to Register any of its debt securities under the Act, whether for its own account, for the account of others or a combination thereof (other than (i) a Registration relating to a corporate
reorganization or other transaction covered by Rule 145 under the Act or the registration of debt securities as consideration for the acquisition by the Company of another Person or (ii) a Registration pursuant to Section 3 hereof), the
Company will: (A) give prompt written notice thereof to each Holder, which notice shall specify the number of securities proposed to be Registered, the proposed date of filing of such registration statement with the Commission, the proposed
means of distribution, the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters (if any and if known), and a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed minimum offering price of such securities, and (B) subject to the provisions of this
Section 2, file a registration statement or amendment covering all of the Registrable Securities that any Holder has requested within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice from the Company to be Registered (which request
shall specify the number of Registrable Securities to be disposed of by such Holder), and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Act. A Holder’s right to include its
Registrable Securities in a Registration under this Section 2(a) will be conditioned upon the timely provision by such Holder of such information as the Company may reasonably request relating to the disclosure requirements of Item 507 of
Regulation S-K (or any similar disclosure requirement applicable to such Registration). 
 (b) Right to Terminate Registration. The
Company will have the right to terminate, withdraw or delay any Registration initiated by it under this Section 2 prior to the effectiveness of such Registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such
Registration. The Company will give prompt written notice of such determination to each Holder that has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Registration and, in the case of a determination to terminate or withdraw the registration
statement, the Company will be relieved of its obligation to Register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration statement, and in the case of a determination to delay effectiveness, the Company will be permitted to delay
effectiveness for any period. The Registration Expenses of such terminated, withdrawn or delayed Registration will be borne by the Company. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company will have the right to suspend any Registration
initiated under this Section 2, including the right to direct selling Holders to suspend sales of any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration, for such periods as the Company may determine; provided that the Company shall promptly
reimburse the selling Holders for any Registration Expenses incurred in connection with such suspension. 
  

 4 








 (c) Priority on Registrations. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that, in the case of an
underwritten offering, its rights under this Section 2 will be subject to cutback provisions imposed by a managing underwriter under Section 2(d). If, as a result of the cutback provisions of the preceding sentence, a Holder is not
entitled to include all of its requested Registrable Securities in such Registration, then such Holder may elect to withdraw its request to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in such Registration. In the event of any such withdrawal,
the Company shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable registration and such Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities hereunder. No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of the Company with
respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn. 
 (d) Underwritten Offerings. In the event of an underwritten offering, the
Company and each Holder will make such arrangements with the underwriters so that such Holder may participate in the offering on the same terms as the Company and any other party selling securities in such offering. The Company will not be required
under this Section 2 to include any of a Holder’s Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless such Holder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriter or underwriters selected by it
(or by other persons entitled to select the underwriter or underwriters) and enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company, and then only in such quantity as the managing
underwriters determine would not reasonably be expected to jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company (the “Maximum Offering Size”). No selling Holder may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to this
Section 2 unless such selling Holder completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents reasonably required under the terms of or in connection with such underwriting agreement. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of debt securities to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude debt
securities (including Registrable Securities) from the Registration and the underwriting, and the number of debt securities that may be included in such Registration and the underwriting will be allocated in the following priority up to the Maximum
Offering Size, (i) first, to the Company for securities that the Company proposes to Register for its own account; (ii) second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a
pari passu basis based upon the Registrable Securities held by such Holder; and (iii) third, to other securities of the Company to be registered on behalf of any other holder with priorities among them as the Company shall determine. Any
Registrable Securities excluded and withdrawn from such underwriting will be withdrawn from the Registration. For any Holder that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and
family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons will be deemed to be a single Holder and any pro rata reduction with respect to such Holder will be based upon the aggregate
amount of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such Holder, as described in this sentence.

 3. Shelf, Demand and Form S-3 Registrations. 
 (a) Shelf Registration. 
 (i) Filing
of Shelf Registration. As promptly as practicable (but no later than September 15, 2009), the Company shall file a “shelf” registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) with the Commission on an
appropriate form providing for the Registration and sale on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (or any similar provision that may be adopted by the Commission) under the Act by the Holders of the Registrable Securities from time to
time in the manner described in the Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Act as promptly as reasonably practicable following the
filing thereof with the Commission, and to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the date that all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or until such securities may be sold
by the applicable Holders under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without the volume restrictions. The Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 3(a)(i) may, subject to the provisions of Section 3(a)(i), include other debt
securities of the Company with respect to which registration rights have been or may be granted, and may include securities being sold for the account of the Company (collectively, “Other Securities”). The Company in its sole
discretion may condition the inclusion of Registrable Securities in a Registration under this Section 3(a) upon the timely provision by such Holder of such information as the Company may reasonably request relating to the disclosure
requirements of Item 507 of Regulation S-K (or any similar disclosure requirement applicable to such Registration). 
 (ii) For so long
as the Holders have the ability to cause a Demand Registration under Section 3(b) or  
Section 3(c), upon a written request from an Initiating Holder to effect an offering under the Shelf Registration Statement (a
“Takedown”), the Company will, as soon as practicable, (x) deliver a Request Notice relating to the proposed Takedown to all other Holders and (y) promptly (and in any event not later than ten (10) business days after
receiving such Initiating Holder’s request) supplement the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Initiating Holder’s Registrable
Securities as are specified in such request together with the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Takedown by any other Holders who notify the Company in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of such Request
Notice from the Company; except that the Registrable Securities requested to be offered pursuant to such Takedown must have an anticipated aggregate price to the public (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of not less than
$5,000,000. If the Company and/or the holders of any Other Securities request inclusion of Other Securities in a Takedown, such Other Securities shall be included in the Takedown if, and only if, inclusion of such Other Securities would not be
reasonably likely to delay in any material respect the timely effectuation of the Takedown or the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Takedown. In the case of a request for or effectuation of a Takedown, all references in this Agreement
to the effective date of a registration statement shall be deemed to refer to the date of pricing of such Takedown and all references to Registration shall be deemed to refer to the Takedown. 
  

 6 








 (b) Demand Registration. 
 (i) Request by Holders. If the Company receives at any time a written request (specifying the number of Registrable Securities requested to be
Registered and the proposed method of distribution thereof) from an Initiating Holder that the Company file a registration statement under the Act covering the Registration of all or a portion of such Initiating Holder’s Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 3(b), then the Company will, within ten (10) days after the receipt of such written request, give written notice of such request (a “Request Notice”) to all Initiating Holders, and file, as soon as
practicable thereafter (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after its receipt of such request from the Initiating Holder), a registration statement to effect the Registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be
required to facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of the Registrable Securities as are specified in such request and any additional requests by other Initiating Holders received by the Company within fifteen (15) days
after receipt of the Request Notice, subject only to the limitations of this Section 3(b); except that the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered pursuant to such request must have an anticipated aggregate price to the public (before
any underwriting discounts and commissions) of not less than $25,000,000. An Initiating Holder’s right to include its Registrable Securities in a Registration will be conditioned upon the timely provision by such Initiating Holder of such
information as the Company may reasonably request relating to the disclosure requirements of Item 507 of Regulation S-K (or any similar disclosure requirement applicable to such Registration). 
 (ii) Maximum Number of Demand Registrations. The Company is obligated pursuant to Section 3(b)(i) to effect only the number of Demand
Registrations for each Investor and its transferees, if any (in their capacity as an Initiating Holder) as follows: 
  

			
	 Investor
	  	Demand
Registrations
	 Avenue
	  	2
	 D. E. Shaw
	  	2
	 Harbinger
	  	2

 except, that if more than 10% of any Initiating Holder’s Registrable Securities that were requested to
be included in a Registration demanded by such Initiating Holder pursuant to this Section 3(b) were not included in such Registration as a result of cutback provisions imposed by the managing underwriter pursuant to Section 3(d), then such
Registration will not count against such Initiating Holder as a Demand Registration under this Section 3(b)(ii). 
 (iii) Expenses
for Withdrawn Registrations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5, the Company will not be required to pay for any Registration Expenses under this Section 3(b) if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn (other than
in accordance with Section 3(f)(iv)) at the request of the Initiating Holder, unless such Initiating Holder agrees to forfeit its right to one (1) Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 3(b); except that if at the time of
such withdrawal, the Initiating Holder has learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company not actually known to the Initiating Holder at the time of its request for such Registration and has withdrawn
its request for Registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Initiating Holder will not be required to pay any of such Registration Expenses nor forfeit any Demand Registration rights pursuant to
this Section 3(b) notwithstanding such withdrawal. 
  

 7 








 (iv) Effective Period. The Company will be required to maintain the effectiveness of the
registration statement with respect to any Demand Registration for a period of at least 270 days after the effective date thereof or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities included in such registration statement have actually been
sold, except that the Company will extend the time period under this Section 3(b)(iv) with respect to the length of time that the effectiveness of such registration statement must be maintained by the amount of time any Holder is required to
discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement cease to be Registrable Securities. 
 (v) No Demand Registration. No Demand Registration will be deemed to
have occurred for purposes of this Section 3(b) if (x) the registration statement relating thereto (i) does not become effective or (ii) is not maintained effective for the period required pursuant to this Section 3(b), or
(y) the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement is subject to a stop order, injunction or similar order or requirement of the Commission during such period, in which case such Initiating Holder will be
entitled to an additional Demand Registration. 
 (c) Form S-3 Registration. 
 (i) After the Company is eligible to Register any Registrable Securities on Form S-3, each Holder will have the right to demand that the Company effect
one or more Registrations with respect to all or a part of its Registrable Securities on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance; except that no such demand right will apply to Registrable Securities having an anticipated
aggregate price to the public (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of less than $5,000,000, unless there shall be other Holders who have requested participation in such Registration who, in the aggregate with the Initiating Holder,
shall have proposed Registration of Registrable Securities having an anticipated aggregate price to the public (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of at least $5,000,000. Any demand for Registration under this Section 3(c)(i)
will not be considered a Demand Registration request pursuant to Section 3(b). Upon receipt of written request, the Company will, as soon as practicable, (i) give a Request Notice relating to the proposed registration to all other Holders,
and (ii) effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Initiating Holder’s Registrable Securities as
are specified in such request together with the Registrable Securities requested to be included by any other Holders who notify the Company in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of such Request Notice from the Company;
except that the Company will not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 3(c) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering. 
 (ii) The Company in its sole discretion may condition the inclusion of Registrable Securities in a Registration under this Section 3(c) upon the
timely provision by such Holder of such information as the Company may reasonably request relating to the disclosure requirements of Item 507 of Regulation S-K (or any similar disclosure requirement applicable to such Registration). 

 

 8 








 (iii) The Company will be required to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement with
respect to Registrable Securities on Form S-3 registered pursuant to this Section 3(c) for a period of at least 270 days after the effective date thereof or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities included in such registration
statement have actually been sold, except that the Company will extend the time period under this Section 3(c)(iii) with respect to the length of time that the effectiveness of such registration statement must be maintained by the amount of
time any Holder is required to discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement. 
 (d) Underwriting. If an Initiating Holder intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, then it will so advise the Company as a part of such request made pursuant to this
Section 3 and the Company will include such information in the Request Notices referred to in Section 3(a)(ii), Section 3(b)(i) or Section 3(c)(i), as applicable. The Initiating Holder shall select the institution or institutions
that shall manage or lead such underwriting, subject to the consent of the Company which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The right of any Holder to include his, her or its Registrable Securities in such Registration will
be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Holders participating in
such Registration) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting will enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters. No selling
Holder may participate in any underwritten registration pursuant to this Section 3 unless such selling Holder completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably
required under the terms of or in connection with such underwriting agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 3, if the underwriter or underwriters determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the
number of debt securities to be underwritten and so advise(s) in writing the Company and the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such Registration, then the underwriter or underwriters may exclude debt securities
(including Registrable Securities) from the Registration and underwriting, and the number of debt securities that may be included in such Registration and underwriting will be allocated in the following priority up to the Maximum Offering Size,
(i) first, to any Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such Registration pursuant to this Section 3, on a pari passu basis based upon the Registrable Securities held by such Holders, and (ii) second to other
holders of securities of the Company, with priorities among them as the Company shall so determine. If, as a result of the cutback provisions of the preceding sentence, a Holder is not entitled to include all of its requested Registrable Securities
in such Registration, then the Holder may elect to withdraw its request to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in such Registration. Any Registrable Securities excluded and withdrawn from such underwriting will be withdrawn from the
Registration and will continue to be Registrable Securities hereunder. 
 (e) No Registrations if Effective Shelf. Notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, if, prior to any request for registration pursuant to Sections 2(a), 3(b) or 3(c) with respect to a Holder’s Registrable Securities, (i) the Company shall have filed a Shelf Registration
Statement covering such Registrable Securities and (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement is effective when the requesting Holders would otherwise make a request 

  

 9 








 
for registration under Sections 2(a), 3(b) or 3(c), as applicable, the Company shall not be required to separately register any Registrable Securities in
response to such request, and such request shall be deemed to be a request that the Company cooperate in effecting a Takedown of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (f) Suspension or Delay. 
 (i)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may (x) delay filing a registration statement pursuant to this Section 3 or an amendment thereto, and may withhold efforts to cause such a registration
statement or amendment thereto to become effective or (y) as applicable, by written notice to a selling Holder, may direct such selling Holder to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, in each case
for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable (but in no event for more than an aggregate of sixty (60) days in any rolling 12-month period commencing on the date of this Agreement with respect to all
suspensions or delays pursuant to this Section 3(f)) if any of the following events shall occur: (A) the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel that such action is required by
applicable law; (B) the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel that the filing or use of the registration statement or amendment thereto would require the Company to disclose material
information, including, without limitation, the fact that the Company is engaged in confidential negotiations regarding, or is in the process of completing, any significant business transaction, the disclosure of which would not be required in the
absence of such registration statement, and the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that such disclosure would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders or (C) the Holders of a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of Registrable Securities covered or to be covered by such registration statement consent in writing to such delay or suspension. Upon the occurrence of any such delay or suspension, the Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective, to promptly amend or supplement the registration statement on a post-effective basis or to take such action as is necessary to permit resumed use of the registration statement as
soon as possible. 
 (ii) In the case of an event specified in Section 3(f)(i) that causes the Company to delay, withhold or suspend
the use of a registration statement (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall give written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to the selling Holders to delay, withhold or suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and
such notice shall state the basis for the notice (without disclosing any material non-public information) and certify, by an officer of the Company, that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is
continuing and the Company is taking all reasonable steps to terminate the delay, withholding or suspension of the use of the registration statement as promptly as possible. The selling Holders shall not effect any sales of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to such registration statement (or such filings) at any time after receiving a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). The selling Holders may recommence
effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement (or such filings) following further notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be
given by the Company to the selling Holders in the manner described above promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect. 
  

 10 








 (iii) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall give a Suspension
Notice pursuant to this Section 3(f) with respect to any registration statement, the Company agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which such registration statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the
number of days during the period from the date of the giving of a Suspension Notice to and including the date when selling Holders shall have received an End of Suspension Notice and copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to
resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; provided, however, that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement cease to be Registrable Securities 

(iv) If the Company so delays or withholds with respect to a registration statement pursuant to Section 3(f)(i), the Initiating Holders or
demanding Investor, as the case may be, will have the right to withdraw the request for Registration (and the Holders who have requested that their Registrable Securities be included in such Registration may withdraw such Registrable Securities from
such Registration) by giving written notice to the Company within ten (10) days of the anticipated termination date of the postponement period, as provided in the notice delivered to the Holders. 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 hereunder, and, to the extent applicable, such withdrawn registration shall not be counted as a
Demand Registration hereunder. No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn. 
 4. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities under the Act as provided in Section 2 and Section 3 hereof, the Company
will effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will cooperate in the sale of the securities and will, in
accordance with the timing requirements of this Agreement (to the extent applicable, in the case of a Takedown): 
 (a) Prepare and file
with the Commission a registration statement or registration statements on such form which will be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Company or the selling Holders in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution thereof, and use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and to remain effective as provided herein; except that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto (including documents that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company will furnish or otherwise make available to the Holders who are including Registrable Securities in such registration
statement, each of the Holders’ respective counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, copies of all disclosures relating to such Holders and required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K (or any similar successor requirement), which documents
will be subject to the reasonable review and comment of such counsel, and, if 

  

 11 








 
requested by such counsel, provide such counsel reasonable opportunity to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Act, including
reasonable access to the Company’s books and records, officers, accountants and other advisors; provided, that the Company may condition any such investigation upon the execution and delivery by each Holder receiving such disclosure of an
agreement satisfactory to the Company as to form relating to such Holder’s obligation to refrain from disclosing same. The Company will not include any information relating to a Holder in any such registration statement or prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto (including such documents that, upon filing, would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) with respect to a Registration pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 to which the Holder
(if such registration statement includes Registrable Securities of the Holder) reasonably objects, in writing, on a timely basis, unless, in the opinion of the Company, the inclusion of such information is necessary to comply with applicable law. It
shall be deemed a reasonable review and comment opportunity if such counsel shall have submitted comments, which shall be limited to comments on disclosure relating directly to the affected Holder or Holders, or failed to submit comments, in each
case, within five (5) business days following receipt of the relevant documents by such Holder. 
 (b) Prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to each registration statement as may be necessary to keep such registration statement continuously effective during the period provided herein and comply in all material respects with the
provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement; and cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any prospectus supplement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Act with respect to the disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Act. 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 4(b). Such suspension or suspensions shall be effective upon the
transmittal of notice to an affected Holder in compliance with, and using the most expeditious practical means of communication permitted by, Section 10 below. 
 (c) Notify each selling Holder and the managing underwriters, if any, promptly, and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental
authority for amendments or supplements to a registration statement or related prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) promptly upon the Company becoming aware of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by
Section 4(n) below ceasing to be true and correct, (v) 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 proceeding for such purpose, and (vi) promptly upon the Company becoming aware of the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such registration statement or related
prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference 

  

 12 








 
untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such registration statement, prospectus or documents so 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 the prospectus,
it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 (d) Use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement or any suspension of
the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or, if issued, to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of any such order or suspension as promptly as practicable. 
 (e) If requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten offering, promptly include in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriters, if any, or such Holders may reasonably request in
order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received such request, including without
limitation, with respect to any hedging activity associated with the Registrable Securities; except that the Company will not be required to take any actions under this Section 4(e) that are not in compliance with applicable law.

 (f) Furnish or make available to each selling Holder, and each managing underwriter acquiring from or selling on behalf of such Holder,
if any, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the registration statement, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if applicable, and each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements (but excluding schedules, all
documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits, unless requested in writing by such Holder, counsel or underwriter). To the extent electronic prospectus delivery is permitted under the Act, any delivery of
conformed prospectuses, registration statements, and supplements and amendments thereto, required by any paragraph of this Section 4, may be delivered by electronic means so long as the form of delivery can reasonably be expected to permit such
Holder or Holders, and such underwriter or underwriters, if any, to satisfy their respective prospectus delivery obligations arising under the Act or otherwise. The Company’s electronic delivery pursuant to the preceding sentence is conditioned
upon an undertaking by the Company to deliver, to the extent required under the Act, paper copies of all such documents upon request by a Person acquiring or proposing to acquire such securities. 
 (g) Deliver to each selling Holder, and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus or prospectuses (including each form
of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities; and the Company, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 4, hereby consents
to the use of such prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such prospectus and any such
amendment or supplement thereto. 
  

 13 








 (h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to
Register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the Registration or qualification (or exemption from such Registration or qualification) of such Registrable
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any selling Holder or underwriter reasonably requests in writing and to keep each such Registration or qualification
(or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective and to take any other action that may be necessary or advisable to enable such selling Holders to consummate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities in such jurisdiction; except that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (ii) take any action that would subject it to
material taxation or general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject, or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction. 
 (i) Cooperate with the selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not
bearing any legends) representing Registrable Securities to be sold after receiving written representations from each relevant Holder that the Registrable Securities represented by the certificates so delivered by such Holder will be transferred in
accordance with the relevant registration statement and only upon satisfaction of any prospectus delivery requirement arising under the Act or otherwise, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names
as the managing underwriters, if any, or such Holder may request at least five (5) business days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities. 
 (j) Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities within the United States, except as may
be required solely as a consequence of the nature of such selling Holders’ business, in which case the Company will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing of such registration statement and the granting of such approvals, as may
be necessary to enable such Holder or Holders thereof or the underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. 
 (k) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4(c)(ii), 4(c)(iii), 4(c)(iv), 4(c)(v) or 4(c)(vi) above, prepare as promptly as practicable a supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement
or a supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold
thereunder, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. 
 (l) Prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Registrable Securities, provide a CUSIP
number for the Registrable Securities. 
  

 14 








 (m) Provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such registration statement. 
 (n) In
connection with any underwritten offering, enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings) and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the managing
underwriters to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in such connection, (i) make such representations and warranties to the underwriters with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries,
and the registration statement, prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers in underwritten offerings, and, if true,
confirm the same if and when requested, (ii) furnish to the underwriters and selling Holders opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) will be reasonably satisfactory to
the managing underwriters), addressed to each of the underwriters and selling Holders covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such underwriters
and selling Holders, (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain comfort letters and updates thereof from the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent registered public
accounting firms of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the registration statement) who have certified the financial
statements included in such registration statement, addressed to each of the underwriters and selling Holders, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with
underwritten offerings, (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same will contain indemnification provisions and procedures substantially to the effect set forth in Section 7 hereof with respect to all parties to be
indemnified pursuant to said Section except as otherwise agreed by the Initiating Holders and (v) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriters to evidence the continued validity of the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4(n)(i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company. 
 (o) Make available for inspection by a representative of the selling Holders, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable
Securities, if any, and any attorneys, accountants or other professionals retained by such selling Holders or underwriter, at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate
documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information in each case reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter,
attorney, accountant or other professionals in connection with such registration statement. If so requested in writing by the Company, the Company’s obligation to disclose information pursuant to the preceding sentence is conditioned upon the
execution and delivery by each Person receiving such disclosure of an agreement satisfactory to the Company as to form relating to such Person’s obligation to refrain from disclosing same. 
  

 15 








 (p) Cause its officers to use commercially reasonable efforts to support the marketing of the
Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement (including, without limitation, participation in “road shows” and appearing before analysts and rating agencies) taking into account the Company’s business needs.

 (q) Cooperate with each selling Holder and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and
their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA. 
 (r) Otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts
to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 thereunder, as soon as reasonably
practicable, but not more than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in an
underwritten public offering or (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the registration statement, which statements
will cover the 12-month periods. 
 The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company in writing such information
pursuant to Item 507 of Regulation S-K (or any similar disclosure requirement applicable to such Registration) required in connection with such Registration regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the
Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing and the Company may exclude from such Registration the Registrable Securities of any Holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving
such request. 
 Each Holder agrees if such Holder has Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement that, upon receipt of
any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(c)(ii), 4(c)(iii), 4(c)(iv), 4(c)(v), 4(c)(vi) or 4(e) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement or prospectus until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4(k) hereof, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of
the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such prospectus; except that the Company will extend the time
periods under Section 2 and Section 3 with respect to the length of time that the effectiveness of a registration statement must be maintained by the amount of time such Holder is required to discontinue disposition of such Registrable
Securities, provided that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement cease to be Registrable Securities. 
  

 16 








 5. Registration Expenses. The Company will pay (i) all of the Registration Expenses and
(ii) all transfer taxes and brokerage and underwriters’ discounts and commissions attributable to the securities being sold by the Company. Each Holder will pay all transfer taxes and brokerage and underwriters’ discounts and
commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by such Holder. 
 6. Holdback Agreement. 
 (a) In the case of an underwritten offering of securities by the Company (which, for purposes of this Section 6 shall include an underwritten
Takedown but shall not include the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or sales thereunder in the absence of an underwritten Takedown) with respect to which the Company has complied with its obligations hereunder, each Holder agrees,
if and to the extent (i) requested by the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering and (ii) all of the Company’s executive officers and directors execute agreements identical to those referred to in this Section 6, that
it shall not during the period beginning on, and ending ninety (90) days (or such shorter period as may be permitted by such managing underwriter or such earlier date on which the Company or any Affiliate or executive officer of the Company is
permitted to sell the Notes) after, the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such Registration (the “Holdback Period”), except for Registrable Securities included in such Registration, effect any
public sale or distribution of, directly or indirectly, any of the Registrable Securities held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement for such offering, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
provided that such restrictions shall not apply to (v) any pledges of Registrable Securities by a Holder in favor of a lender or other similar financing source, (w) any such sales, purchases, grants, transfers, dispositions
or arrangements to settle or otherwise close any hedging instruments that were outstanding prior to the beginning of the Holdback Period unless the Holder of such Registrable Securities had proposed to sell Registrable Securities in the offering,
(x) the transfer of Registrable Securities to any beneficiary of a Holder pursuant to a will, other testamentary document or applicable laws of descent, (y) the transfer of Registrable Securities as a bona fide gift or (z) the
transfer of Registrable Securities to a family member or trust, provided that, in each of (x) through (z) the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this Agreement prior to such transfer and such transfer
shall not involve a disposition for value. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Holder that is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, such entity (and its transferees or distributees) may transfer or distribute the
Registrable Securities to any wholly-owned subsidiary of such entity or to the partners, members, stockholders or Affiliates of such entity, or to a charitable or family trust, provided that the transferee or distributee agrees to be bound in
writing by the terms of this Agreement prior to such transfer. No Holder subject to this Section 6 (or any officer and/or director of the Company bound by these restrictions as required by this Section 6) shall be released from any
obligation under any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into pursuant to or contemplated by this Section 6 unless all Holders are also released (to a similar extent in the case of a partial release) from their obligations under
this Section 6(a). In the event of any such release the Company shall notify the Holders of any such release within three (3) business days after such release. If requested by the managing underwriter, each Holder shall enter, and shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each Affiliate of such Holder holding Registrable Securities enters, into a lock-up agreement with the applicable underwriters that is consistent with the agreement in the preceding sentence.

  

 17 








 (b) In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with
respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the debt securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. 
 (c) In the case of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(b) or Section 3(c) or an underwritten Takedown pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii), the Company agrees, if and to the
extent requested by the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering, not to effect (or Register for sale) any public sale or distribution of any Notes for the Company’s own account during the period beginning on, and ending ninety
(90) days (or such shorter period as may be permitted by such managing underwriter) after, the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such Registration, except for securities of the Company to be offered for the
Company’s account in such underwritten offering. If requested by the managing underwriter, the Company shall enter into a lock-up agreement with the applicable underwriters that is consistent with the agreement in the preceding sentence.

 7. Indemnification. 
 (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder, its directors and officers and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act) and any of such Holder’s agents or representatives, its legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter and any controlling Person of such underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act), and its legal counsel against all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (“Losses”) caused by, arising out of or relating to (A) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any
registration statement relating to Registrable Securities, or any prospectus, preliminary prospectus, summary or free writing prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement to any of the foregoing or any omission or alleged omission of material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company or any underwriter by such Holder expressly
for use therein or (B) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws in connection
with the sale of securities by such Holder pursuant to any registration statement in which such Holder is participating, and the Company, in each case, will reimburse each such Holder, officer, director, controlling Person or other aforementioned
Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses or action as such expenses are incurred; except that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(a) will
not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). 
 (b) Each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify, to the extent
permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), any of the Company’s 

  

 18 








 
agents or representatives, its legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter and any controlling Person of such underwriter (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each other Holder, against any Losses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement relating to Registrable
Securities, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, summary or free writing prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement to any of the foregoing or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for use in such registration
statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, and each such Holder will reimburse any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 7(b) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in
connection with investigating or defending any such Losses or action as such expenses are incurred; except that (i) the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(b) will not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such
settlement is made without the consent of such Holder, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) the obligations of such Holder hereunder will be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such
Holder from the sale of its Registrable Securities in the transaction giving rise to the Losses. 
 (c) The indemnification provided for
under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (as defined herein) or any officer, director, or controlling Person of such Indemnified Party and will survive
the transfer of Registrable Securities. 
 (d) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (the “Indemnified
Party”) will give written notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and
will permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; except that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who will conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting
therefrom, will be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval will not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed), and the Indemnifying Party shall assume payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel. In any such proceeding, any
Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed
to retention of such counsel or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein or the information required by the last sentence of this Section 7(d) will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 7 unless and to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, will, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which
does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release of such Indemnified Party from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. The Indemnified Party will furnish
such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as will be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom. 
  

 19 








 (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a
result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in Losses,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; except that in no event will any contribution by a Holder under this Section 7(e) exceed the net proceeds to such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities in the transaction
giving rise to the Losses. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 

(f) The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Losses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed
to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each Holder’s obligation to contribute pursuant to this
Section 7 is several in the proportion that the net proceeds of the offering received by such Holder bears to the total net proceeds of the offering received by all such Holders and not joint and in no event shall exceed the net proceeds of the
offering received by such Holder. 
 (g) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 7 will survive the completion of
any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement and otherwise. 
 8. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may permit the sale of restricted securities to the public without Registration the Company agrees to:

 (a) keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times; and 
 (b) so long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance
with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, and of the Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports
and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without Registration. 
  

 20 








 9. Rights Granted to Other Investors. The Company will not grant any registration rights relating
to its securities after the date hereof without the written consent of the Investors unless the priority provisions of Section 2(d) and Section 3(d) continue to apply. 
 10. Notices. All communications provided for hereunder will be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail, nationally recognized
overnight courier or facsimile and (a) if addressed to a Holder, addressed to the Holder at the postal mail address or fax number set forth beside such Holder’s signature, or at such other postal address or fax number as such Holder will
have furnished to the Company in writing or (b) if addressed to the Company, to the postal address or fax number set forth beside the Company’s signature or at such other address or fax number, or to the attention of such other officer, as
the Company will have furnished to Holder in writing. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed effectively given: (w) when personally delivered to the party to be
notified; (x) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient or, if not, then on the next business day, as long as a copy of the notice is also sent via nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying
next day delivery, with written verification of receipt; (y) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (z) one business day after deposit with a nationally recognized
overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. 
 11. Assignment. In connection with the
transfer of any Notes constituting Registrable Securities to any Person, an Investor and any subsequent Holder may assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder to such Person and such Person will be entitled to the rights of a Holder granted
hereunder, provided that the Company is given written notice at the time of said transfer or assignment identifying the name and address of the transferee and that the transferee assumes in writing the obligations of a Holder under
this Agreement. 
 12. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are
inserted for reference only and will not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 
 13. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction;
Venue. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or
permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States of
America located in the county of New York for any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any action or proceeding relating thereto except in such
courts), and further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to its respective address set forth beside such party’s signature shall be effective service of process for any action or proceeding
brought against it in any such court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in
the courts of the state of New York. 
  

 21 








 14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATE HEREBY. 
 15. No Inconsistent
Agreements. The Company will not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that conflicts with or would limit the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with
the provisions hereof. 
 16. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term may be
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only upon the written consent of the Company and Holders holding greater than 80% of the Registrable Securities then held by the Holders; except
that no amendment may (i) disproportionately adversely affect any Holder as compared to the other Holders, (ii) reduce the number of Demand Registrations available to such Holder or (iii) change any Holder’s obligations under
Section 6, in each case without the consent of such Holder. The failure of any party to insist on or to enforce strict performance by the other parties of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy under this
Agreement will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of that party’s right to assert or rely on any provisions, rights or remedies in that or any other instance; rather, the provisions, rights and remedies will remain in
full force and effect. 
 17. Entire Agreement. This agreement is intended by the parties to be a complete and exclusive statement of
the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities. 
 18. Specific Performance. Without limiting the rights of each party hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to such party
for any other parties’ failure to perform their obligations under this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any failure to perform their obligations hereunder would be inadequate and that each of them,
respectively, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure, without bond or other security being required. 
 19. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the parties shall negotiate in good faith with a view to the substitution therefor of a suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable,
the intent and purpose of such invalid provision, provided, however, that the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be in any way impaired
