REGISTRATION RIGHTS

SECTION 3.01. Company Registration.

(a) Demand Registrations

(i) At any time from and after the Effective Date, upon the written demand of HH, Xxxxxxxxx or Tower Three (each, a “Demand Holder”), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect as expeditiously as possible, the registration (a “Demand Registration”) under the Securities Act of (i) all Registrable Securities held by such Demand Holder that are requested to be registered in the initial written demand and (ii) any additional Registrable Securities requested to be registered by any Holders who elect to include Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration in a written notice or notices given within

ten (10) days after the date the Demand Registration Notice (as defined below) is given by the Company (together with the Registrable Securities described in clause (i), the “Included Securities”). Promptly (but in no event later than five Business Days) after the receipt by the Company of any written demand pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company will give written notice of such demand to all Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Demand Registration Notice”). The Company shall effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Included Securities as expeditiously as possible and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration become and remain effective. The Company shall have the right to select the underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering, subject to the reasonable approval of Xxxxxxxxx and Tower Three.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 3.01(a)(i), the Company shall not be required to effect more than three Demand Registrations from each of Xxxxxxxxx and Tower Three (including through a demand by HH) (or more than six Demand Registrations from the Demand Holders in the aggregate); provided, that the Demand Holders shall be entitled to unlimited additional Demand Registrations if such additional Demand Registrations would be eligible for registration on Form S-3; provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than two such Demand Registrations on Form S-3 in any twelve month period.

(iii) Any registration initiated pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(i) shall not count as a Demand Registration (i) unless and until a registration statement with respect to all Registrable Securities to be sold in connection therewith shall have become effective and remained effective for a period of 120 days or, if a shorter time, until all of the Included Securities shall have been sold, (ii) if after it has become effective such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental authority for any reason not attributable to the Holders of Included Securities, such that no sales are possible thereunder for a period of ten consecutive days or more, (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure on the part of the Holders of Included Securities or (iv) if, due to the provisions of Section 3.01(a)(iv), the Demand Holder demanding such Demand Registration is prohibited from registering 30% or more of its Registrable Securities requested to be registered in the initial written demand.

(iv) If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their good faith judgment the number of securities to be included in a Demand Registration exceeds the number that can be sold in the offering in light of marketing factors or because the sale of a greater number would adversely affect the price of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such Demand Registration, then the total number of securities the underwriters advise can be included in such Demand Registration shall be allocated (i) first, to the Holders of the Included Securities, pro rata; (ii) second, to the Company for any securities that the Company proposes to issue and sell for its own account; and (iii) third, to other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to other contractual arrangements, pro rata.

(b) Piggyback Registration Rights.

(i) Whenever the Company proposes to complete a Public Offering (other than in connection with a Demand Registration) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to the terms of subsections (ii) below, shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice.

(ii) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the Holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such Holder, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to contractual arrangements with the Company.

(c) Other Sales Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, including any provisions regarding pro rata inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Registration, if any Holder has agreed to lock-ups or other restrictions on sale of any such Holder’s Registrable Securities with the Company, another Holder or any other Person, including pursuant to Section 3.05(c) hereof, such other agreements or restrictions shall govern the sale of such Holders Registrable Securities.

SECTION 3.02. Registration Procedures. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Article III that the Holders requesting inclusion in any Registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding them, the Registrable Securities held by them, the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities, and such agreements regarding indemnification, disposition of such securities and other matters referred to in and consistent with this Article III, as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by the Company.

SECTION 3.04. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder participating in an offering of Registrable Securities, the underwriters selling such Holder’s Registrable Securities and their respective officers, directors, Affiliates and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) any of them, including any general partner or manager of any thereof, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any document incorporated by reference therein 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 the case of the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are made in reliance on and in conformity with any information with respect to such Holder or Person furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder or Person expressly for use therein. The Company further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket counsel fees and disbursements) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any document, report or information filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are made in reliance on and in conformity with any information with respect to such Person furnished in writing to the Company by such Person expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance all expenses incurred by or on behalf of an indemnified party pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from the indemnified party requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by the indemnified party.

(b) Indemnification by the Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each Holder selling shares in a Registration agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) the Company, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus (in the case of the prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in reliance on and in conformity with the information or affidavit with respect to such Holder so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the registration statement or prospectus; provided, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders and the liability of each such Holder shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.04(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder. The Company and the Holders of the Registrable Securities hereby acknowledge and agree that, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by such Holders, the only information furnished or to be furnished to the Company for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities or in any amendment, supplement or preliminary materials associated therewith are statements specifically relating to (i) the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock by such Holder and its Affiliates, (ii) the name and address of such Holder and (iii) any additional information about such Holder or the plan of distribution (other than for an underwritten offering) required by law or regulation to be disclosed in any such document.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified and indemnifying parties with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. The failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability hereunder with respect to the action, except to the extent that such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice; provided, that any such failure shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability which it may have to any other party or to such indemnified party other than pursuant to this Section 3.04. No indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of such indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, 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 from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are in addition to or may conflict with those available to any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.04 is unavailable to an indemnified party as contemplated by the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.04 or is insufficient to hold such indemnified party harmless, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party or (ii) if the allocation provided by the preceding clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the preceding clause (i) but also the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the alleged untrue statement of material fact or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the sellers of Registrable Securities or other sellers participating in the registration statement and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event shall the liability of any such Holder be greater in amount than the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder upon such sale or the amount for which such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 3.04 had been available.

SECTION 3.05. Lock-Up Agreements.

(a) Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act in a Public Offering or is required to use its commercially reasonable to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3.01, each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities not to effect any sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or to request registration under Section 3.01 of any Registrable Securities for the time period reasonably requested by the managing underwriter for the underwritten offering; provided, that in no event shall such period exceed 180 days in the case of the Company’s initial public offering or 90 days in the case of any subsequent Public Offering, plus, in each case, any customary “booster shot” reasonably requested by the managing underwriter (the “Lock-up Period”) after the effective date of the registration statement relating to such Registration, except (i) as part of such Registration or (ii) in the case of a private sale or distribution, unless the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to this Section 3.05. If requested by such managing underwriter, each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees to execute a lock-up agreement, in customary form, consistent with the terms of this Section 3.05(a); provided, that the form of the lock-up shall be substantially identical as to each similarly situated Holder; provided, further, that if any Holder of Registrable Securities is released from such lock-up agreement, all other Holders of Registrable Securities shall be similarly released on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder shall be subject to a Lock-up Period in excess of 180 days (plus any customary “booster shot”) in any calendar year due to the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.01.

(b) The Company agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of any of its equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such equity securities within the Lock-up Period (except as part of such underwritten Registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S–8, S–4 or any successor forms thereto), except that such restriction shall not prohibit any such sale or distribution after the effective date of the registration statement (i) pursuant to any stock option, warrant, stock purchase plan or agreement or other benefit plans approved by the Board to officers, directors or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries; (ii) pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act; or (iii) as consideration to any third party seller in connection with the bona fide acquisition by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of the assets or securities of any Person in any transaction approved by the Board, provided that in each such case the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be subject to restrictions comparable to those set forth in Section 3.05(a). In addition, upon the request of the managing underwriter, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of its equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities whether outstanding on the date of this Agreement or issued at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than any such securities acquired in a public offering), to agree not to effect any such public sale or distribution of such securities during such period, except as part of any such registration if permitted, and to cause each such holder to enter into a similar agreement to such effect with the such managing underwriter.

(c) Subject to (i) any sales in the Company’s initial public offering of equity securities, as set forth in the Company’s prospectus filed with the Commission and dated October 22, 2012 and (ii) any sales contemplated by Section 3.05(e), each of Xxxx Xxxxxxxx,

Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, the Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx Family 2012 Trust, Xxx Xxxxx, Eri Chaya, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, DeMonty Price, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxx XxxXxx (each a “Locked-Up Person”) agrees, severally and not jointly, with the Company that, until the earlier of (x) the date on which Xxxxxxxxx and Tower Three collectively own less than one half of the shares of Common Stock collectively beneficially owned by Xxxxxxxxx and Tower Three, including through HH, immediately following the Company’s initial public offering of equity securities (as adjusted to give effect to any recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or other similar adjustment to the outstanding shares of Capital Stock) and (y) the date that is two years after the Company’s initial public offering of equity securities, the Locked Up Person will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, 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 lend or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of the Company’s Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Locked Up Person or with respect to which the Locked Up Person has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the Lock-Up Securities, or file or request or demand or cause to be filed any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, except as set forth in the following sentence. Each Locked-Up Person may sell a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that are vested and not subject to Selling Restrictions (as defined in the Company’s 2012 Equity Replacement Plan, 2012 Stock Option Plan or 2012 Equity Incentive Plan) held by such Locked-Up Person multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock sold by HH, Xxxxxxxxx and Tower Three and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by HH, Xxxxxxxxx and Tower Three immediately prior to such sale (the “Pro Rata Amount”). Any sales of the Pro Rata Amount of a Locked-Up Person must be made at the same time and in the same manner as the sale by HH, Xxxxxxxxx and/or Tower Three. No Locked-Up Person has any obligation to sell his or her Pro Rata Amount at any time. The Lock-Up Securities shall not include shares of Common Stock sold in the Company’s initial public offering. Any waivers of or consents to sell outside of the parameters of this Section 3.05(c) must be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event that HH, Xxxxxxxxx or Tower Three propose to sell any shares of Common Stock (a “Sale Opportunity”), such party shall provide notice to the Company of such potential Sale Opportunity. Sale Opportunities shall not include transfers from HH, Xxxxxxxxx or Tower Three to affiliates of any such party, but shall apply to any subsequent sales by such affiliates to non-affiliates. Promptly, but in no event more than five Business Days after receipt by the Company of a notice referred to in the prior sentence, the Company will give written notice to each of the Locked-Up Persons (the “Sale Notice”), including the proposed amount and manner of sale. A Demand Registration Notice shall constitute a Sale Notice for purposes hereof. To the extent that the proposed Sale Opportunity by HH, Xxxxxxxxx or Tower Three is completed, then any Locked-Up Person that has elected to include Lock-Up Securities in such sale in a written notice or notices given to the Company within ten (10) days after the date of the Sale Notice may sell up to his or her Pro Rata

Amount based on the actual amount sold by HH, Xxxxxxxxx and Tower Three in such Sale Opportunity. No amendment to this Section 3.05(c) that is adverse to the interests of the persons subject thereto shall be made without the written consent of the Locked-Up Persons holding a majority in interest of all Registrable Securities held by all Locked-Up Persons.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 3.05(c), and subject to the conditions below, each Locked-Up Person may transfer the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Company, provided that (1) the Company receives a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the lock-up period from each beneficiary, donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be and (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value:

(i) as a bona fide gift or gifts;

(ii) by will or intestacy or to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Locked Up Person or the immediate family of the Locked-Up Person (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); or

(iii) as a distribution by a trust to its beneficiaries.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx shall have a first priority right over the Holders to sell up to the following amount of vested shares of Common Stock that are not subject to Selling Restrictions (as defined in the Company’s 2012 Equity Replacement Plan, 2012 Stock Option Plan or 2012 Equity Incentive Plan) (the “Priority Sale Amount”): ten percent (10%) of the aggregate number of shares sold in the first Public Offering by the Company after the Company’s initial public offering (the “First Follow On Offering”), but in no event more than $15 million worth of shares of Common Stock in such offering, based on the public offering price of shares of Common Stock in such Public Offering. If the Pro Rata Amount of Xx. Xxxxxxxx in the First Follow On Offering would be more than the Priority Sale Amount, then he will have priority over the Holders for the sale of the Priority Sale Amount, and any remaining portion of his Pro Rata Amount may be sold if there is availability in the offering, subject to pro rata cutback with the Holders. If there is not enough capacity in the Company’s First Follow On Offering for the Priority Sale Amount due to sales by the Company or otherwise, then Xx. Xxxxxxxx may sell the unsold portion of his Priority Sale Amount in the Company’s next Public Offering on the same basis as set forth above. If there is capacity in the First Follow On Offering but Xx. Xxxxxxxx elects not to sell all or a portion of the Priority Sale Amount, the Priority Sale Amount shall not be applicable in any future Public Offering by the Company. In the event that the First Follow On Offering occurs prior to the date on which the lockup between Xx. Xxxxxxxx and the underwriters in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO Lockup”) expires, HH agrees not to sell any shares in such First Follow On Offering unless Xx. Xxxxxxxx is also released from such IPO Lockup to an extent that would permit him to sell shares in such First Follow On Offering as specified in this Agreement (provided that in no event shall HH be prevented from selling shares in such First Follow On Offering if Xx. Xxxxxxxx does not sell shares in such First Follow On Offering for any reason other than a failure to be released from the IPO Lockup or breach of this Agreement). No amendment to this Section 3.05(e) shall be made without Xx. Xxxxxxxx’x written consent.

SECTION 3.06. Participation in Registrations. No Holder may participate in any Registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and the Demand Holders selling Registrable Securities in such Registration (provided, that such underwriting arrangements shall not limit any Holder’s rights under this Agreement), and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily and reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

SECTION 3.07. Rule 144. The Company shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act as permitted by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (ii) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of a Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company, at its own expense, will deliver to such Holder: (x) a written statement as to whether it has complied with the requirements that would make the exemption provided by such rule available to such Holder; (y) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and (z) such other reports and documents as such Holder may reasonably request in order to avail itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing it to sell Registrable Securities without registration.
