practicable following the date of this Agreement (but in no event later than the date that is two hundred ten (210) calendar days after the Initial Closing Time) a shelf Registration Statement on Form S-11 or such other form under the
Securities Act then available to the Company providing for the resale of the Registrable 

  

 6 








 
Shares pursuant to Rule 415 from time to time by the Holders, including for the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Shares that are issued prior to the
initial effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement (such registration statement, including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements to such registration statement or Prospectus, including pre- and post-effective amendments, all exhibits
thereto and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference, if any, in such registration statement, the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable. Such commercially reasonable efforts shall include, without limitation, responding to any comments issued by the staff of the Commission with
respect to any Registration Statement and filing any related amendment to such Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such comments. Any Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for the resale from time to time,
and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available (including, without limitation, an Underwritten Offering, a direct sale to purchasers, a sale through brokers or agents or sale over the Internet) by the Holders of any and all
Registrable Shares. 
  
 (b) IPO Registration. If the
Company proposes to file a registration statement on Form S-11 or such other form under the Securities Act providing for the initial public offering of Common Shares (such registration statement, including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements
to such registration statement or Prospectus, including pre- and post-effective amendments, all exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference, if any, in such registration statement, the
“IPO Registration Statement”), the Company will notify in writing each Holder of the filing, within the five (5) Business Days after the filing thereof, and afford each Holder an opportunity to include in such IPO Registration
Statement all or any part of the Registrable Shares then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such IPO Registration Statement all or part of the Registrable Shares held by such Holder shall, within fifteen (15) Business
Days after receipt of the above-described written notice by the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Shares such Holder wishes to include in such IPO Registration
Statement. Furthermore, in the event the IPO Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission within one hundred twenty (120) Business Days following delivery by the Company of notice to the Holders of their initial
opportunity to include all or any part of the Registrable Shares then held by such Holders in the IPO Registration Statement, unless a road show for the Underwritten Offering pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement is actually in progress at such
time, the Company shall promptly provide a new written notice to all Holders giving them another opportunity to elect to include Registrable Shares in the pending IPO Registration Statement. Each Holder desiring to include in any such IPO
Registration Statement all or part of the Registrable Shares held by such Holder shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the above-described written notice by the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall
inform the Company of the number of Registrable Shares such Holder wishes to include in such IPO Registration Statement. Any election by any Holder to include any Registrable Shares in the IPO Registration Statement will not affect the inclusion of
such Registrable Shares in the Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement until such Registrable Shares have been sold under the IPO Registration Statement; provided, however, that at such time of sale, the
Company shall have the right to remove from the Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement the Registrable Shares sold pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement. 
  
 (i) Right to Terminate IPO Registration. The Company
shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any IPO Registration Statement referred to in this Section 2(b) prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Shares in such
registration; provided, however, that the Company must provide each Holder that elected to include any Registrable Shares in such IPO Registration Statement prompt written notice of such termination. 
  

 7 








 (ii) Shelf Registration not Impacted by IPO Registration Statement. The
Company’s obligation to file the Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Sections 2(a) or 2(c) hereof shall not be affected by the filing or effectiveness of the IPO Registration Statement,
except to the extent Registrable Shares are sold pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement, in which case, the Company shall have the right to remove from the Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, as
applicable, the Registrable Shares sold pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement; provided, however, if the Company files an IPO Registration Statement before the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or such Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company shall have the right to defer causing the Commission to declare the Shelf Registration Statement or such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement effective until sixty (60) days after effective date of the IPO
Registration Statement. 
  
 (iii)
Underwriting. The Company shall give written notice to the Holders who elected to be included in the IPO Registration Statement of the names of the managing underwriters for the Underwritten Offering proposed under the IPO Registration
Statement. The right of any such Holder’s Registrable Shares to be included in any IPO Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering undertaken
pursuant thereto and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Shares in the Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Shares through such Underwritten Offering shall enter into
an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriters selected by the Company for such underwriting and complete and execute any questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, securities escrow agreements, custody agreements,
lock-up agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting, and furnish to the Company such information in writing as the Company may reasonably request for inclusion in the IPO Registration Statement;
provided, however, that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (including indemnitees) with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements (including
indemnitees) as are customary and reasonably requested by the underwriters. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the managing underwriters determine in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation on the
number of shares to be included, then the managing underwriters may exclude shares (including Registrable Shares) from the IPO Registration Statement and the Underwritten Offering, and any shares included in the IPO Registration Statement and the
Underwritten Offering shall be allocated, first, to the Company, second, to each of the Holders (other than the Management Holders) requesting inclusion of their Registrable Shares in the IPO Registration Statement (on a pro
rata basis based on the total number 

  

 8 








 
of Registrable Shares then requested for inclusion by each such Holder), and third, to each of the Management Holders requesting inclusion of their
Registrable Shares in such IPO Registration Statement (on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Shares then requested for inclusion by each such Holder); provided, however, that the number of Registrable
Shares (other than the Management Shares) to be included in the IPO Registration Statement shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company held by (i) the Company’s trustees, officers, other employees and consultants; and
(ii) other holders of the Company’s capital stock with registration rights that are inferior (with respect to such reduction) to the registration rights of the Holders set forth herein, are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and
registration. 
  
 If any Holder disapproves of
the terms of any such Underwritten Offering, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by providing written notice to the Company and the managing underwriters, delivered not later than the later of (a) forty-five (45) days after the
initial filing date of the IPO Registration Statement and (b) five (5) Business Days prior to the date the preliminary prospectus is printed; provided, however, in the event the IPO Registration Statement is not declared effective
by the Commission within one hundred twenty (120) Business Days following delivery by the Company of notice to the Holders of their initial opportunity to include all or any part of the Registrable Shares then held by such Holders in the IPO
Registration Statement, unless a road show for the Underwritten Offering pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement is in progress at such time, the Company shall promptly provide written notice to all Holders who have elected to be included in the
IPO Registration Statement giving them another opportunity to elect to withdraw from the pending IPO Registration Statement, and each Holder desiring to withdraw from such IPO Registration Statement shall, within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt of the above-described written notice by the Company, provide notice to the Company and the managing underwriter of such election. Any Registrable Shares excluded or withdrawn from such Underwritten Offering shall be excluded and withdrawn
from the IPO Registration Statement. 
  
 (iv)
Hold-back Agreement. By electing to include Registrable Shares in the IPO Registration Statement, if any, the Holder of such Registrable Shares shall be deemed to have agreed not to effect any sale or distribution of securities of the Company
of the same or similar class or classes of the securities included in the IPO Registration Statement or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, during such periods as are reasonably requested by the managing underwriters of the Underwritten Offering pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement (but in no event for a period longer than thirty (30) days prior to and sixty
(60) days following the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement); provided that each of the officers and trustees of the Company that hold Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common
Shares are subject to restrictions at least as burdensome as those applicable to the Holders for not less than the entire time period required of the Holders hereunder. 
  
 (c) Subsequent Shelf Registration for Additional Shares Issued after Effectiveness of the Mandatory Shelf Registration
Statement. If any Additional Shares are issued or distributed to 

  

 9 








 
Holders after the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, or such Additional Shares were otherwise not included in a prior Shelf Registration
Statement, then the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the issuance of such Additional Shares, file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective by
the Commission an additional shelf registration statement on Form S-11 or such other form under the Securities Act then available to the Company providing for the resale of the Additional Shares pursuant to Rule 415 from time to time by the Holders
(such registration statement, including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements to such registration statement or Prospectus, including pre- and post-effective amendments, all exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference or deemed
to be incorporated by reference, if any, in such registration statement, a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”) in the same manner, and subject to the same provisions in this Agreement as the Shelf Registration Statement.

  
 (d) Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration
Expenses in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total
number of Registrable Shares sold in such registration) of all discounts and commissions payable to underwriters or brokers and all transfer taxes and transfer fees in connection with a registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement
and any other expense of the Holders not specifically allocated to the Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Shares pursuant to any Registration Statement. 
  
 (e) Executive Bonuses and Equity Awards. If the Company does not file
a Registration Statement registering the resale of the Accredited Investor Shares, the Rule 144A Shares and the Regulation S Shares within two hundred ten (210) days after the date of the Initial Offering Memorandum, other than as a result of
the Commission being unable to accept such filings (a “Registration Default”), then, for each day the Registration Default continues, each of Daniel G. Cohen, Mitchell Kahn and Jack E. Salmon (each an “Executive
Officer”) shall forfeit 1.0% of any bonus, whether in the form of cash or equity awards under the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan or other incentive plans. 
  

	3.	Rules 144 and 144A Reporting 

  
 With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Registrable Shares to the
public without registration, until such date as no Holder owns any Registrable Shares, the Company agrees: 
  
 (a) at all times after the effective date of the first registration statement under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its
securities to the general public, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act; 
  
 (b) to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); 
  

 10 








 (c) if the Company is not required to file reports and other documents under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act, it will make available other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to, Rule 144 and Rule 144A; and 
  
 (d) to furnish to any Holder promptly upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the
reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public), and of
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual and quarterly report(s) of the Company, and (iii) such other
reports, documents or shareholder communications of the Company, and take such further actions consistent with this Section 3, as a Holder may reasonably request in availing, and as is necessary to avail, itself of any rule or regulation of the
Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such Registrable Shares without registration. 
  

	4.	Registration Procedures 

  
 In connection with the obligations of the Company with respect to any registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall,
without limitation: 
  
 (a) notify FBR in writing at least ten
(10) Business Days prior to filing a Registration Statement, of its intention to file a Registration Statement with the Commission and, at least five (5) Business Days prior to filing, provide a copy of the Registration Statement to FBR
and its counsel for review and comment within five (5) Business Days after FBR’s receipt of such copy and in good faith give consideration to any comments received from FBR or its counsel; prepare and file with the Commission, as specified
in this Agreement, a Registration Statement(s), which Registration Statement(s) (x) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the Commission to

Holders’ Counsel, if any, within three (3) Business Days after filing; at least three (3) Business Days prior to filing, provide a copy of any proposed amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement to FBR and its counsel for
review and comment within three (3) Business Days after FBR’s receipt of such copy and in good faith give consideration to any comments received from FBR or its counsel (provided, however, that with respect to any amendment or supplement
to an IPO Registration Statement filed after a red herring prospectus is distributed to investors, such three (3) Business Day period shall be reduced to one (1) Business Day); provide a copy of any such amendment or supplement to such
Registration Statement in the form in which it was filed with the Commission to Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, within three (3) Business Days after filing; promptly following receipt from the Commission of any comments relating to the
Registration Statement (whether pre-effective or post-effective), provide to FBR and its counsel and, in the case of comments relating to the Selling Holders or the plan of distribution of Registrable Shares, provide to Selling Holders’
Counsel, if any, copies of such comments and of the Company’s proposed responses thereto for review and comment and in good faith give consideration to any comments received from FBR, its counsel or Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, prior
to delivering them to the Commission; incorporate any comments reasonably made by FBR, its counsel and 

  

 11 








 
Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, to the Registration Statement, any amendment or supplement thereto and/or any response to comments received from the
Commission that are made in compliance with the time periods specified above or prior to the Company’s filing or such document, whichever is later; and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
effective as soon as practicable after filing and to remain effective, subject to Section 5 hereof, until the earlier of (i) such time as all Registrable Shares covered thereby have been sold in accordance with the intended methods of
distribution of such Registrable Shares, and (ii) there are no Registrable Shares outstanding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to cause any IPO Registration Statement to become effective if it elects to
terminate or withdraw the IPO Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) hereof and the Holders have been so notified; provided, further, that if the Company has an effective Shelf Registration Statement or Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act and becomes eligible to use Form S-3 or such other short-form registration statement form under the Securities Act, the Company may, upon twenty (20) days prior written notice to FBR
and all Holders, register any Registrable Shares registered but not yet distributed under the effective Shelf Registration Statement or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement on such a short-form Shelf Registration Statement and, once the
short-form Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, de-register such shares under the previous Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement or transfer the filing fees from the previous Shelf Registration
Statement (such transfer pursuant to Rule 429, if applicable) unless the Holders holding a majority of the shares registered by the Holders under the initial Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement (excluding
Registrable Shares held by the Company, the Management Holders or any of their Affiliates) notify the Company within twenty (20) days of receipt of the Company notice that such a registration under a new Registration Statement and
de-registration of the initial Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement would materially interfere with such Holders’ distribution of Registrable Shares already in progress, in which case the Company shall
delay the effectiveness of the short-form Shelf Registration Statement and de-registration for a period of not less than thirty (30) days from the date that the Company receives the notice from such Holders requesting a delay; 
  
 (b) subject to Section 4(i) hereof, (i) prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to each such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period described in Section 4(a) hereof; (ii) cause each Prospectus
contained therein to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; and (iii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities
covered by each Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the selling Holders thereof; 
  
 (c) furnish to FBR and the Holders, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus, including each preliminary
Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as FBR or such Holder may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Shares; the Company consents, subject to
Section 5, to the use of such Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, by FBR and the Holders, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Shares covered by any such Prospectus; 
  

 12 








 (d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, or obtain exemption from registration
or qualification for, all Registrable Shares by the time the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as FBR or any Holder with
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement may reasonably request in writing, keep each such registration or qualification or exemption effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective pursuant
to Section 4(a) and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such Registrable Shares owned by such Holder; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to take any action to comply with this Section 4(d) if it would require the Company to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction or to register as a broker or dealer in
such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4(d) and except as may be required by the Securities Act, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) submit to the
general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 
  
 (e) use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement to be registered and approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Holders thereof to
consummate the disposition of such Registrable Shares; 
  
 (f)
notify FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and each Holder with Registrable Shares covered by a Registration Statement promptly and, if requested by FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, or any such Holder, promptly confirm such advice
in writing at the address determined in accordance with Section 10(c), (i) when such Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments thereto become effective or upon the filing of a supplement to any
Prospectus, (ii) of the issuance by the Commission or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation, assertion or, to the extent known to the Company, threat of
any Proceedings for that purpose, (iii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal, state or foreign governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional
information, and (iv) of any reason, including without limitation, the happening of any event during the period such Registration Statement is effective, as a result of which such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated by reference therein contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading (which information shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made); 
  
 (g) use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or if
issued, to obtain the withdrawal of, any order enjoining or suspending the use or effectiveness of a Registration Statement or suspending of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any
jurisdiction, as promptly as practicable; 
  
 (h) promptly furnish
to FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and each requesting Holder with Registrable Shares covered by a Registration Statement, without charge, at least one (1) conformed copy of each Registration Statement and any post-effective
amendment or 

  

 13 








 
supplement thereto (without documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless requested); 
  
 (i) except as provided in Section 5, upon the occurrence of any event
contemplated by Section 4(f)(iv) hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by
reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Shares, such Prospectus will not contain any 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and promptly furnish to FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and each requesting Holder, without charge,
as many copies of such Prospectus and any supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or Prospectus and any document incorporated therein by reference or so filed, as FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, or such
Holder may reasonably request; 
  
 (j) if requested by FBR,
Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, the representative of the underwriters (in an Underwritten Offering), if any, or any Holders of Registrable Shares being sold in connection with a Registration Statement, (i) as promptly as reasonably
practicable incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, the representative of the underwriters, if any, or such Holders indicate in writing relates to them or
otherwise reasonably request be included therein, and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be
incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 
  
 (k) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish or cause to be furnished to FBR and the underwriters a signed counterpart, addressed to FBR and the underwriters, of: (i) an opinion of
counsel for the Company, dated the date of each closing under the underwriting agreement, reasonably satisfactory to FBR (an “Opinion”) and the underwriters; and (ii) a “comfort” letter, dated the effective date of
such Registration Statement and the date of each closing under the underwriting agreement, signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements included in such Registration Statement, covering
substantially the same matters with respect to such Registration Statement (and the Prospectus included therein) and with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in accountants’ letters
delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities and such other financial matters as FBR or the underwriters may reasonably request (a “Comfort Letter”); in the case of a Registration Statement that does not
involve an Underwritten Offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to FBR a signed counterpart, addressed to FBR, of an Opinion and a Comfort Letter, each dated the initial effective date of such Registration Statement and on the
date of each quarterly or year-end post-effective amendment thereto, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to FBR; 
  
 (l) enter into customary agreements (including in the case of an Underwritten Offering, an underwriting agreement in customary form and reasonably
satisfactory to the Company) and take all other reasonable action in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the distribution of the Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement and, 

  

 14 








 
in the case of an Underwritten Offering, make representations, warranties and agreements to FBR, the Holders covered by such Registration Statement and to
the underwriters in such form and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters and holders in underwritten offerings and confirm the same to the extent customary if and when requested; 
  
 (m) to make available for inspection by FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel,
if any, and the representatives of any underwriters participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and cooperate with, and cause the
respective officers, trustees, employees and agents of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by, FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and the representatives of any underwriters in connection with a Registration Statement
and the due diligence review of the Registration Statement and the information contained or incorporated therein; provided, however, that such records, documents or information that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and with
respect to which the Company notifies FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and the representatives of any underwriters in advance in writing of such confidential nature, shall not be disclosed by FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any,
and the representatives of any underwriters unless (i) the disclosure of such records, documents or information is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission in a Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) the
release of such records, documents or information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) such records, documents or information have been generally made available to the public;
provided, further, that FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and the representatives of any underwriters will use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent reasonably practicable, to coordinate the foregoing inspection and
information gathering and not materially disrupt the Company’s business operations; 
  
 (n) use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the criteria for listing and list or include (if the Company satisfies the criteria for listing or inclusion on such exchange or market) all Registrable Shares on
the New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market as soon as practicable (including, without limitation, seeking to cure in the Company’s listing or inclusion application any deficiencies cited by the exchange or market) and thereafter use
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such listing; 
  
 (o)
to prepare and file in a timely manner all documents and reports required by the Exchange Act at all times beginning from the date the Company is first subject to such filing and reporting requirements through the date there are no longer any
Registrable Shares outstanding; 
  
 (p) provide a CUSIP number for
all Registrable Shares, not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement; 
  
 (q) (i) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and, as applicable, the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq National Market or other
listing standard, (ii) make generally available to its stockholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, earnings statements covering at least 12 months beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement that satisfy the provisions
of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act ) thereunder, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after
the first anniversary of the effective date of the 

  

 15 








 
Registration Statement (unless such fiscal quarter is the last fiscal quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, in which case such earnings statement shall
be delivered no later than sixty (60) days after such fiscal quarter occurring after the first anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement), and (iii) not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or
supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus to which FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, or any Holder of Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement shall have reasonably objected on the grounds that such
Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act; 
  
 (r) provide and cause to be maintained a registrar and transfer agent for all Registrable Shares covered by any Registration Statement from and after a
date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement; 
  
 (s) in connection with any sale or transfer of the Registrable Shares (whether or not pursuant to a Registration Statement) that will result in the security being delivered no longer being Registrable Shares, cooperate with the Holders and
the representative of the underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Shares to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any transfer restrictive legends (other than as
required by the Company’s Charter) and to enable such Registrable Shares to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the representative of the underwriters, if any, or the Holders may reasonably request at least three
(3) Business Days prior to any sale of the Registrable Shares; 
  
 (t) in connection with the initial filing of a Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Registration Statement and each amendment thereto with the Commission, prepare and, within one (1) Business Day of such filing with the
Commission, file with the NASD a copy of the Registration Statement and any such other forms and information required or requested by the NASD to be filed on such day, and prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, file all such other
forms and information required or requested by the NASD, in order to obtain written confirmation from the NASD that the NASD does not object to the fairness and reasonableness of the underwriting terms and arrangements (including any deemed
underwriting terms and arrangements relating to FBR and any other NASD member that is the holder of, or is affiliated or associated with an owner of, Registrable Shares included in the Registration Statement) relating to the resale of Registrable
Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, information provided to the NASD through its COBRADesk system; and 
  
 (u) upon effectiveness of the first Registration Statement filed by the Company under this Agreement, take such actions and make such filings as are
necessary to effect the registration of the Common Shares under the Exchange Act simultaneously with or immediately following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. 
  
 The Company may require the Holders to furnish to the Company such information regarding the proposed distribution by such
Holder of such Registrable Shares as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares and no Holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling stockholder in
any Registration Statement and no Holder shall be entitled to use the Prospectus 

  

 16 








 
forming a part thereof if such Holder does not provide such information to the Company. Any Holder that sells Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration
Statement shall be required to be named as a selling stockholder in the related Prospectus and to deliver or cause to be delivered a Prospectus to purchasers. Each Holder further agrees to furnish promptly to the Company in writing all information
required from time to time to make the information previously furnished by such Holder not misleading. 
  
 Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(f)(ii),
4(f)(iii) or 4(f)(iv) hereof, such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus. If so directed by the
Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Shares current at the
time of receipt of such notice. 
  

	5.	Black-Out Period 

  
 (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time to suspend the use of
the Registration Statement following the effectiveness of a Registration Statement (and the filings with any international, federal or state securities commissions), if a Suspension Event (as defined below) occurs. If the Company elects to
suspend the effectiveness and/or use of a Registration Statement following the occurrence of a Suspension Event, the Company, by written notice to FBR and the Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and by written notice, email transmission or such
other means that the Company reasonably believes to be a reliable means of communication (a “Suspension Notice”), shall notify the Holders, that the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been suspended and shall direct the
Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement until the Suspension Event has ended. Each Suspension Notice shall state generally the basis for the notice and that such suspension shall continue only for so
long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing and the Company is using its commercially reasonable efforts and taking all reasonable steps to terminate suspension of the use of the Registration Statement as promptly as possible.

  
 (b) A “Suspension Event” shall be deemed to
have occurred if: (i) the representative of the underwriters of an Underwritten Offering by the Company of primary shares has advised the Company that the offer or sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement would have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s Underwritten Offering of primary shares; (ii) a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees of the Company (including at least two of the independent trustees) in good faith has determined that
(A) the offer or sale of any Registrable Shares would materially impede, delay or interfere with any proposed financing, offer or sale of securities, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other significant transaction involving the Company;
(B) based upon the advice of legal counsel, the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement would require disclosure of non-public material information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law, and
(C) (x) the Company has a bona fide business purposes for preserving the confidentiality of such transaction, (y) disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to consummate such
transaction, or (z) such transaction renders the Company unable to comply with Commission requirements, in each case, under circumstances that would 

  

 17 








 
make it impractical or inadvisable to cause the Registration Statement (or such filings) to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the
Registration Statement on a post-effective basis, as applicable; or (iii) a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees of the Company (including at least two of the independent trustees) in good faith has determined that, upon the advice
of legal counsel, it is required by law, or that it is in the best interests of the Company, to supplement the Registration Statement or file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement in order to ensure that the Prospectus included in
the Registration Statement (1) contains the financial information required under Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (2) discloses any fundamental and material change in the information included in the Prospectus; or
(3) discloses any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information. 
  
 (c) Upon the occurrence of any Suspension Event, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement or to take such action as is necessary to make resumed use of the Registration Statement as soon as practicable. In no event shall the Company
be permitted to suspend the use of a Registration Statement (i) in any twelve (12) month period for more than forty-five (45) consecutive days or for more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days, (ii) in any ninety
(90)-day period for more than an aggregate thirty (30) days), and (iii) more than six (6) separate times in any twenty four (24) month period, except as a result of a refusal by the Commission to declare any
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement effective after the Company has used all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective, in which case the Company shall terminate the suspension
of the use of the Registration Statement immediately following the effective date of the post-effective amendment. 
  
 (d) If the Company gives a Suspension Notice to the Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares following a Suspension Event, the Holders shall not
effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below).
If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Shares at the
time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (or such filings) upon delivery by the Company of notice that the Suspension Event or its potential
effects are no longer continuing (an “End of Suspension Notice”), which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to FBR, the Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, the Holders in the same manner as the Suspension
Notice promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall give a Suspension Notice with respect to any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 5, 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 receipt by the Holders of the Suspension Notice to and
including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of Suspension Notice and provide copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; 

  

 18 








 
provided such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that Common Shares covered by such Registration Statement are no longer Registrable
Shares. 
  

	6.	Indemnification and Contribution 

  
 (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder and any underwriter (as determined in the Securities Act) for such Holder
(including, if applicable, FBR), (ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), any such Person described in clause (i) (any of the Persons
referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a “Controlling Person”), and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees, representatives and agents of any such Person
or any Controlling Person (any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as a “Purchaser Indemnitee”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, judgments, Proceedings, out-of-pocket expenses, and other liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”), including without limitation and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing,
pursuing or defending any Proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any Purchaser Indemnitee, joint or several, directly or indirectly related to, based upon,
arising out of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished to such Purchaser
Indemnitee any amendments or supplements thereto), or any preliminary Prospectus or any other document prepared by the Company and used to sell the Registrable Shares, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or omission
or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Purchaser Indemnitee furnished to the Company or any underwriter in writing by such Purchaser Indemnitee expressly for use therein or
(ii) any untrue statement contained in or omission from a preliminary Prospectus if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented, if the Company shall have furnished to or on behalf of the Holder participating in the distribution
relating to the relevant Registration Statement any such amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder to the Person asserting any such Liabilities who purchased Registrable Shares, if such Prospectus (or
Prospectus as amended or supplemented) is required by law to be sent or given at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Shares to such Person and the untrue statement contained in or omission from such preliminary
Prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus (or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented). The Company shall notify FBR and the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which it shall have become aware in
connection with the matters addressed by this Agreement which involves the Company or a Purchaser Indemnitee. The indemnity provided for herein shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Purchaser Indemnitee. 
  
 (b) In connection with any Registration
Statement in which a Holder is participating and as a condition to such participation, such Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Person who signs the Registration Statement or 

  

 19 








 
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and the respective partners,
trustees, officers, members, managers, representatives, employees and agents of the Company and each such Person to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Purchaser Indemnitee, but only with reference to untrue
statements or omissions or alleged untrue statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with information relating to such Purchaser Indemnitee furnished to the Company in writing by such Purchaser Indemnitee expressly for
use in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary Prospectus. The liability of any Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to this paragraph shall in no event exceed the net proceeds received by such
Purchaser Indemnitee from sales of Registrable Shares giving rise to such obligations. 
  
 (c) If any Proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation) shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph (a) or
(b) above, such Person (the “Indemnified Party,” or if more than one Indemnified Party, the “Indemnified Parties”), shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying
Party”), in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 6, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is
materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice), and the Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Indemnified Party, shall assume the defense of such Proceeding and retain counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and approved by the Indemnified
Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may reasonably designate in such Proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses actually incurred by such
counsel related to such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 in writing to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Party failed within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Proceeding to assume
the defense and engage counsel approved by the Indemnified Party as hereinabove provided, (iii) the Indemnifying Party and its counsel do not in a reasonable manner pursue the defense of such Proceeding, or (iv) the named parties to any
such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties), include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or any Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been reasonably advised by counsel that, either
(x) there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or such Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party or (y) a conflict may exist between such
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or such Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume nor direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party, it being
understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related Proceedings arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees
and expenses of more than one (1) separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel), for all such Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by those Indemnified Parties who sold a majority of the Registrable
Shares sold by all such Indemnified Parties (excluding Registrable Shares sold by the Company, the Management Holders or any of their Affiliates) and any such separate firm for the Company, the trustees, the officers and such 

  

 20 








 
control Persons of the Company as shall be designated in writing by the Company). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Party
from and against any loss or Liability resulting from such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of
which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party or the subject thereof and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party
from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. 
  
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this Section 6 is for any reason held to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Liabilities referred to therein (other than by reason of the exceptions provided therein) or is insufficient to hold harmless a party
indemnified thereunder, then each Indemnifying Party under such paragraphs, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Liabilities
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits of the Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Indemnifying Party(ies) on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Liabilities, or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party(ies) and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and any Purchaser Indemnitees on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Purchaser Indemnitees and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
  
 (e) The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata
allocation (even if such Indemnified Parties were treated as one entity for such purpose), or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph 6(d) above. The amount paid or
payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Liabilities referred to in paragraph 6(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses actually incurred by such Indemnified Party
in connection with investigating or defending any such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, in no event shall a Purchaser Indemnitee be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which proceeds (net of
discounts and commissions) received by such Purchaser Indemnitee from sales of Registrable Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Purchaser Indemnitee has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. For purposes of this Section 6, each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) FBR or a Holder shall have the
same rights to contribution as FBR or such Holder, as the case 

  

 21 








 
may be, and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) the
Company, and each officer, trustee, partner, member, manager, employee, representative or agent of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of
commencement of any Proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party
or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 6 or otherwise, except to the extent that any party is actually and materially prejudiced by the
failure to give notice. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act), shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

  
 (f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in
this Section 6 will be in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Parties may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties referred to above. The Purchaser Indemnitee’s obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are
several in proportion to the respective number of Registrable Shares sold by each of the Purchaser Indemnitees hereunder and not joint. 
  

	7.	Market Stand-off Agreement 

  
 Each Holder hereby agrees that it shall not, to the extent requested in writing by the Company or a managing underwriter of securities of the Company,
directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell (including without limitation any short sale), pledge, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of
or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Registrable Shares or other Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares then owned by such Holder (other than to donees or partners of the Holder who agree
to be similarly bound) for a period commencing up to thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act and ending (x) in the case of the Management Holders, up to
one hundred eighty (180) days following such effective date; and (y) in the case of all other Holders, up to sixty (60) days following such effective date; provided, however, that: 
  
 (a) the restrictions above shall not apply to Registrable Shares sold
pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement; 
  
 (b) all officers
and trustees of the Company then holding Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares enter into similar agreements for not less than the entire time period required of the Management Holders
hereunder; and 
  
 (c) the Holders shall be allowed any concession
or proportionate release allowed to any Management Holder or any officer or trustee of the Company that entered into similar agreements (with such proportion being determined by dividing the number of shares being released with respect to such
Management Holder, officer or trustee by the total number of issued and outstanding shares held by such Management Holder, officer or trustee); provided, 

  

 22 








 
that nothing in this Section 7(c) shall be construed as a right to proportionate release for the Management Holders or officers and trustees of the
Company upon the expiration of the sixty (60) day period applicable to all Holders other than the Management Holders, officers and trustees of the Company. 
  

In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the
securities subject to this Section 7 and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Shares and such other securities of each Holder (and the securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until
the end of such period. 
  

	8.	Termination of the Company’s Obligation 

  
 Subject to Section 10(l), the Company shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Agreement at such time as no Registrable Shares are
outstanding. 
  

	9.	Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights 

  
 From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Holders beneficially
owning not less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such
securities in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to the terms hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of
such holder’s or prospective holder’s securities will not reduce the amount of Registrable Shares of the Holders included in the Registration Statement, or (b) to have such holder’s or prospective holder’s securities
registered on a registration statement that could be declared effective prior to, or within sixty (60) days after, the effective date of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement. 
  

	10.	Miscellaneous 

  
 (a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being entitled to
exercise all rights provided herein or, in the case of FBR, in the Initial Purchase/Placement Agreement or the Subsequent Purchase/Placement Agreement, or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its
rights under this Agreement. Subject to Section 6, the Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agree
that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
  
 (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, without the written consent of the Company and Holders beneficially owning not less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares;
provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 10(b), Registrable Shares that are owned, directly or indirectly, by an Affiliate of the Company shall 

  

 23 








 
not be deemed to be outstanding. No amendment shall be deemed effective unless it applies uniformly to all Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver
or consent to or departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect,
impair, limit or compromise the rights of any other Holder may be given by such Holder; provided that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence. 
  
 (c) Notices. All notices and other
communications, provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and delivered by facsimile (with receipt confirmed), overnight courier or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by telegram: 
  
 (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by the
transfer agent and registrar of the Common Shares; 
  
 (ii) if to the Company at the offices of the Company at 1818 Market Street, 28th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, Attention: General Counsel, (facsimile (215) 861-7868); and 
  
 (iii) if to FBR at the offices of FBR at 1001 Nineteenth
Street North, Arlington, Virginia 22209, Attention: Compliance Department, (facsimile: 703-312-9698); with a copy to Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, 1050 Connecticut Ave., NW, Washington, D.C. 20036, Attention: Howard B. Adler, Esq.,
(facsimile: 202-467-0539); 
  
 Receipt of any notice sent pursuant to this
Agreement shall be deemed to occur (x) one (1) Business Day after sending by facsimile (with receipt confirmed), (y) two (2) Business Days after sending by overnight courier or (z) three (3) Business Days after mailing
by the party giving such notice. The Company shall cause the transfer agent to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain current addresses of the Holders. 
  

(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the
parties hereto, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment or assumption, subsequent Holders. The Company agrees that the Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder by FBR and the
Company, and each Holder shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder; provided, however, that such Holder fulfills all of its
obligations hereunder. 
  
 (e) Share Legend. In addition to
any other legend that may appear on the share certificates evidencing the Registrable Shares, for so long as any Shares remain Registrable Shares each share certificate evidencing such Registrable Shares shall contain a legend to the following
effect: “THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND ENTITLED TO THE OBLIGATIONS AND BENEFITS OF A CERTAIN AMENDED AND RESTATED REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, DATED AUGUST 11, 2005”. 
  

 24 








 (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
  
 (g) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning hereof. 
  
 (h) Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BUT EXCLUDING
ALL OTHER CHOICE OF LAW AND CONFLICTS OF LAWS RULES). EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT
SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE
AFORESAID COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 
  
 (i) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties hereto that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable. 
  
 (j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Initial
Purchase/Placement Agreement and the Subsequent Purchase/Placement Agreement, is intended by the parties hereto as a final expression of their agreement, and is intended 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 therein. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement supersedes, terminates and replaces all existing stockholders’ agreements and registration rights agreements
relating to the equity securities of the Company. 
  

 25 








 (k) Registrable Shares Held by the Company or its Affiliates. Whenever the consent or approval of,
or a selection by, the Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Shares is required hereunder, Registrable Shares held by the Management Holders, the Company or their Affiliates (excluding, if necessary, FBR) shall not be counted in
determining the number of then outstanding Registrable Shares or the number of Registrable Shares providing such consent, approval or selection. 
  
 (l) Survival. This Agreement is intended to survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Initial Purchase/Placement Agreement
and the Subsequent Purchase/Placement Agreement . The indemnification and contribution obligations under Section 6 and the Company’s obligations under this Section 10 shall survive the termination of the Company’s obligations
under Section 2 and Section 8 of this Agreement. 
  
 (m)
Attorneys’ Fees. In any Proceeding brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as a defense, the prevailing party, as determined by the court, shall be entitled to recover its
reasonable attorneys’ fees from the losing party in addition to any other available remedy.
