4.4 Fractional Shares. If any conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock (aggregating all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to Section 4.1), such fractional share shall be rounded up to the next whole number of shares of Common Stock.

4.5 Taxes.

The Corporation shall be entitled to withhold from any payment due whatsoever in connection with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock any and all required withholdings the Corporation, in its reasonable discretion deems required under applicable law, provided, that the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify any holder prior to withholding from any amounts otherwise payable to any holder in connection with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and shall reasonably cooperate with any such holder in seeking to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding in a manner consistent with applicable law.

4.6 No Impairment. The Corporation will not through any reorganization, transfer of assets, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock against impairment.

4.7 Obligations Absolute.

The holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation and notice of any other matter submitted to a vote of shareholders.

6.3 Vacancies.

Such meeting shall be called or a time not earlier than 20 days and not later than 60 days after such request and shall be held at such place as specified in such request.

6.6 Action Without Meeting. With respect to actions by the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock upon those matters on which such holders are entitled to vote as a separate class, such actions may be taken without a meeting by the written consent of such holders who would be entitled to vote at a meeting having voting power to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock entitled to vote were present and voted.

7. Involuntary Liquidation Events. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), each holder shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Corporation the same amount that a holder of Common Stock would receive if the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were fully converted to Common Stock based on the Conversion Ratio, which amounts shall be paid pari passu with payment to all holders of Common Stock, plus an additional amount equal to any dividends declared or otherwise accrued but then unpaid to such shares (if any). For the avoidance of any doubt, a Fundamental Transaction shall not be deemed a Liquidation unless the Corporation expressly declares that such Fundamental Transaction shall be treated as if it were a Liquidation.

8. Adjustments For Recapitalizations, Stock Splits, Etc.

8.1 Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of this Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) with respect to the then outstanding shares of Common Stock; (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Ratio shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately after such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation). Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.

8.2 Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8.1, if at any time the Corporation makes an offering or a general issuance of Common Stock, or issues, sells or grants rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property, in each of the foregoing cases pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights identical to those that apply to such holders of shares of Common Stock (subject, in the case of any rights issued pursuant to a shareholders rights plan, to any limitations, exclusions or other provisions in such shareholders rights plan that may be applicable to such holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as an “acquiring person” (or equivalent concept) under the generally applicable terms of such shareholders rights plan), the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if the holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such holder’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (assuming receipt of shareholder approval) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchase Rights shall not include (i) the grant or issuance of any stock options, restricted stock or other equity awards with respect to shares of Common Stock as may be granted or issued to any directors, officers, employees or contractors of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) the grant, issuance or sale of any securities that is not generally extended to the holders of any class of shares of Common Stock.

8.3 Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person or any stock sale to, or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, share exchange or scheme of arrangement) with or into another Person (other than such a transaction in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its Common Stock is not exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or property), (ii) the Corporation effects any sale, lease, transfer or exclusive license of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which more than 50% of the Common Stock not held by the Corporation or such Person is exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Corporation effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant (other than as a result of a dividend, subdivision or combination covered by Section 8.1 above) to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then all of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be converted in accordance with the terms hereof and the holders of such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall receive the same form and amount of consideration as the holders of Common Stock receive in connection with such Fundamental Transaction (the “Alternate Consideration”) at the same time as such Alternate Consideration is received by the holders of Common Stock. For purposes of the foregoing, the determination of the Conversion Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall adjust the Conversion Ratio in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration they receive in connection with such Fundamental Transaction. Any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall take such actions as are necessary in order to effectuate the foregoing provisions. The terms of any agreement to which the Corporation is a party and pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.3. The Corporation shall cause to be delivered to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, written notice of any Fundamental Transaction at least 20 calendar days prior to the date on which such Fundamental Transaction is expected to become effective or close, which notice shall include the form and amount of consideration to be received by such holder as a result of the Fundamental Transaction.

8.4 Other Adjustments. The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall also adjust equitably, and shall have the right to adjust equitably, any or all of the terms of this Designation which the Board of Directors of the Corporation determine in their reasonable good faith judgment is required to be equitably adjusted in connection with any Corporation action.

8.5 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 7, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

(c) On the Conversion Date, (i) the Shareholder shall have the right to nominate three Directors (each, a “Juniper Director” and together, the “Juniper Directors”), which must include at least one Independent Director (initially, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and an Independent Director to be determined) and (ii) the remaining Directors shall be nominated as follows: (A) two Directors nominated by the Governance Committee, which must include at least one Independent Director; and (B) one Independent Director mutually agreed in writing by the Shareholder and the Governance Committee (excluding the Juniper Directors then-serving on the Governance Committee, but including any Independent Director appointed by the Shareholder).

(d) The Shareholder’s right to nominate Directors to the Board pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be determined based on the Shareholder’s, together with its Affiliates’, ownership of Common Stock on the applicable date of determination as measured relative to the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the time of the Conversion (the “Original Conversion Shares”) as follows:

(i) for so long as the Shareholder, together with its Affiliates, holds 50% or more of the Original Conversion Shares, the Shareholder shall have the right to nominate three Juniper Directors, which must include at least one Independent Director;

(ii) for so long as the Shareholder, together with its Affiliates, holds 30% to 49.9% of the Original Conversion Shares, the Shareholder shall have the right to nominate two Juniper Directors, both of whom may be employees of the Shareholder or its Affiliates; and

(iii) for so long as the Shareholder, together with its Affiliates, holds 10% to 29.9% of the Original Conversion Shares, the Shareholder shall have the right to nominate one Juniper Director, who may be an employee of the Shareholder or its Affiliates; and

(iv) if at any time the Shareholder, together with its Affiliates, less than 10% of the Original Conversion Shares, the Shareholder will no longer have the right to nominate any Juniper Directors.

(e) (i) Promptly following the Effective Time, but on the date hereof, the Company will take, or cause to be taken, all necessary action to cause the election or appointment to the Board of the Directors named in Section 3.1(a); and (ii) on, from and after the Conversion Date, the Company will take, or cause to be taken, all necessary action to cause the election or appointment to the Board any Director named in Section 3.1(c) that is not then-serving on the Board; provided, that each such natural person is a Qualifying Nominee (each such person designated for nomination by the Shareholder pursuant to Section 3.1(c) or Section 3.1(d), a “Shareholder Nominee”). The Directors shall serve an initial term that will expire no earlier than the first annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company to be held following the date of this Agreement.

(f) If at any time the Shareholder no longer has the right to designate a Shareholder Nominee then serving on the Board pursuant to the terms of this Article III, then, unless the Governance Committee and the Shareholder agree in writing that any such Juniper Director should stand for reelection to the Board, the Shareholder shall cause any such Juniper Director to tender their resignation from the Board and any committee of the Board on which he or she then serves at the end of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Director’s then current term and, if the Board accepts such resignation, the resulting vacancy shall be filled by a director elected by the shareholders of the Company or by the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, following a reduction of the Shareholder’s right to designate Shareholder Nominees for nomination to the Board pursuant to this section, such right of designation shall not be reinstated if after such occurrence the Shareholder, together with its Affiliates, holds an amount of Original Conversion Shares greater than or equal to any of the applicable thresholds.

(g) Neither the Company nor the Board (subject to the fiduciary duties that the Directors may owe in such capacity) shall be permitted to increase or decrease the number of individuals comprising the Board or amend or modify the designation rights set forth in this Section 3.1 without first having received the affirmative vote of a majority of the Independent Directors then on the Board that are not Juniper Directors and the written consent of the Shareholder; provided, however, if the size of the Board is increased or decreased, the Company and the Shareholder shall reasonably cooperate with each other to provide the Shareholder with representation on the Board (giving effect to any such adjustment) substantially commensurate with the percentage of the Original Conversion Shares held by the Shareholder, together with its Affiliates, at such time.

(h) From the date hereof until the Conversion Date, the Shareholder shall have the right to designate one individual as a non-voting observer to the Board and any committee or subcommittee thereof (initially, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇). Such observer shall have the right to attend all meetings and deliberations of the Board and any committee or subcommittee thereof; provided, that any materials or other information provided to such observer shall be subject to Section 7.12, mutatis mutandis. Such observer shall have the right to receive all information received by the members of the Board or any committee or subcommittee thereof and at the same time as such information the members of the Board or such committee or subcommittee are entitled to receive such information, including information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries.

(i) The Board shall use commercially reasonable efforts to hold meetings on no less than a quarterly basis.

Section 3.2 Election of Shareholder Nominees to the Board.

(a) In the event that one or more Shareholder Nominees must stand for an election to the Board in connection with any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Company at which Directors are to be elected (each annual or special meeting, an “Election Meeting”), the Company shall give written notice, no earlier than 120 days nor later than 110 days prior to the date of such Election Meeting, to the Shareholder to request that the Shareholder designate for nomination such Shareholder Nominees, and the Shareholder shall give written notice to the Company of the Shareholder Nominee(s) at least 90 days prior to the date of such Election Meeting; provided, that if the Shareholder fails to give such notice in a timely manner, then the Shareholder shall be deemed to have designated for nomination the incumbent Juniper Directors.

(b) In connection with any Election Meeting in which a Shareholder Nominee stands for election or reelection to the Board (or in the event that the Shareholder is permitted to designate a Replacement pursuant to Section 3.3), the Shareholder shall take all necessary action to cause the Shareholder Nominee to consent to such reference and background checks and to provide such information (including information necessary to determine any disclosure obligations of the Company) as the Board or the Governance Committee may reasonably request in connection with the Company’s disclosure obligations or in connection with the Company’s legal, regulatory or stock exchange requirements, which requests shall be of the same type as the Company requests of all other nominees to the Board.

(c) Subject to the provisions set forth in this Article III, to the extent that a Shareholder Nominee must stand for an election or reelection to the Board in connection with an Election Meeting, subject to applicable requirements or qualifications under applicable law or applicable stock exchange rules, the Company agrees to take, and cause the Board (subject to the fiduciary duties that the Directors may owe in such capacity) to take, all actions necessary to: (i) nominate (including for purposes of the Company’s advance notice bylaw) and recommend that the holders of Capital Stock of the Company who are entitled to vote at such Election Meeting vote in favor of the election or reelection of the Shareholder Nominee (including ensuring that each Shareholder Nominee is included in the proxy statement prepared by the Company in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for such Election Meeting), and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written resolution of the Shareholders of the Company or the Board with respect to the election or reelection of members of the Board, and (ii) support the Shareholder Nominee for election or reelection in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company, the Governance Committee or the Board shall be under any obligation to nominate or recommend a proposed Shareholder Nominee if the Governance Committee determines (by majority vote) in good faith, following consultation with outside legal counsel, that such proposed Shareholder Nominee is not a Qualifying Nominee (provided that any such determination with respect to any Shareholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be made no later than 15 days after the Shareholder sends written notice pursuant to Section 3.2(a) and in any event with reasonably sufficient time for the Shareholder to designate for nomination a substitute Shareholder Nominee).

Section 3.3 Qualification and Replacement of Shareholder Nominees. If a Juniper Director shall cease for any reason to serve as a Director (including by death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of such Director), other than as expressly contemplated by Section 3.1(f), the Shareholder shall have the exclusive right to designate a replacement for such Director (a “Replacement”). Unless the Governance Committee determines that such Replacement is not a Qualifying Nominee, the Company shall promptly take all reasonable actions within its control to satisfy the requirements under this Article III with respect to such Replacement, including by causing the appointment of such Replacement to the Board to fill any such vacancy. If any such Replacement is determined by the Governance Committee not to be a Qualifying Nominee, the Shareholder shall be entitled to continue designating a Replacement until such proposed designee is determined by the Governance Committee to qualify as a Qualifying Nominee.

Section 3.4 Resignation. The Shareholder shall have the right at any time and from time to time to cause any of the Juniper Directors to promptly tender his or her resignation from the Board and any committee of the Board on which he or she then serves.

Section 3.5 Rights of the Shareholder Nominee.

(a) The Company shall notify each Shareholder Nominee and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Preferred Director, as applicable, at the same time and in the same manner as such notification is delivered to the other members of the Board, of all regular meetings and special meetings of the Board and of all regular and special meetings of any committee of the Board of which such person is a member. The Company and the Board shall provide such Shareholder Nominees and Juniper Preferred Director, as applicable, with copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other material that it provides to all other members of the Board and all other members of each committee of the Board of which such person is a member concurrently as such materials are provided to the other members of the Board or such committee.

(b) Each Shareholder Nominee and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Preferred Director, as applicable, shall be entitled to the same directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage as the other non-employee Directors and the same indemnification and exculpation rights from the Company as such other Directors, in each case, effective no later than the date on which such Shareholder Nominee or Juniper Preferred Director, as applicable, joins the Board. If the Company enters into indemnification agreements with its Directors generally, the Company will enter into an indemnification agreement with each such Shareholder Nominee and Juniper Preferred Director in substantially the same form as the other Directors and with such changes as may be reasonably requested by the Shareholder.

(c) Except to the extent that the Shareholder may otherwise notify the Company, each Shareholder Nominee and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Preferred Director shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses for his or her service as a Director, consistent with the Company’s policies applicable to other non-employee Directors.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 5.1 Shelf Registration.

(a) Within 45 days after the Conversion Date, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a Registration Statement with the SEC covering the resale of all Registrable Securities held by the Holders for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, and to continuously renew such Registration Statement upon any expiration thereof.

(b) Any Registration Statement filed with the SEC pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on Form S-1, which Form S-1 shall be converted to a Form S-3 at such time as the Company becomes so eligible, or such other form or forms of registration statement as are then available to effect a registration for resale of the Registrable Securities, covering the Registrable Securities, and shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Selling Holder covered by such Registration Statement to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 at any time beginning on the Effective Date for such Registration Statement. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 5.1 to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. If no Registration Statement is then-effective with respect to any Registrable Securities, the Holder of such Registrable Securities may deliver a written request to the Company (a “Demand Notice”), specifying (i) the number of Registrable Securities sought to be registered and (ii) the proposed plan of distribution, or be followed by such information, when requested as contemplated by Section 5.14, and the Company shall promptly (but in any event within 45 days of the delivery of such Demand Notice) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement to permit the public resale of the Registrable Securities that are the subject of such Demand Notice; provided, that the Shareholder shall only be permitted to deliver one Demand Notice with respect to Compensation Securities held by the Shareholder or any of its Affiliates that are not covered by a then-effective Registration Statement.

(c) During the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 5.1 to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available for the resale of the Registrable Securities without interruption until all Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. As soon as practicable following the Effective Date of a Registration Statement, but in any event within three Business Days of such date, the Company shall notify the Holders of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. At the time it becomes effective, a Registration Statement (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made).

(d) A Registration Statement shall provide for the distribution or resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder.

Section 5.2 Procedures For Underwritten Offerings.

(a) At any time and from time to time after the effectiveness of a Registration Statement filed in accordance with Section 5.1, and without limitation of any other method of sale, any Holder may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities included thereon in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to such Registration Statement (an “Underwritten Offering”) with each Underwritten Offering to include an aggregate number of Registrable Securities reasonably expected to result in gross offering proceeds of at least $10,000,000.

(b) In connection with an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall select one or more investment banking firms of national standing to be the managing underwriter or underwriters with the consent of the Selling Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such Underwritten Offering, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) As a condition for inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering, such Holder shall agree to enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters and complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting agreement; provided, that the underwriting agreement is in customary form and reasonably acceptable to the Holder; and provided further, that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding (i) such Holder’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold or Transferred, (ii) such Holder’s power and authority to effect such Transfer and (iii) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested). If any Holder disapproves of the terms of an underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by notice to the Company and the managing underwriter; provided, that any such withdrawal must be made no later than the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. If all Holders withdraw from an Underwritten Offering prior to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering or if the Registration Statement relating to an Underwritten Offering is suspended pursuant to Section 5.3, then such abandoned or suspended, as applicable, Underwritten Offering will not be considered an Underwritten Offering under this Section 5.2.

(d) If the managing underwriter or underwriters for an Underwritten Offering advises the Company that the total amount of Registrable Securities or other shares of Common Stock to be included in such Underwritten Offering is such as to materially adversely affect the success of such Underwritten Offering, the number of Registrable Securities or other shares of Common Stock to be included in such offering will be reduced as follows: first, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Common Stock to be included by any Person other than the Holders, if any; second, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any Common Stock to be included by the Company; third, the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included by the Selling Holders, pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included by such Selling Holders.

(e) The Company will not be required to undertake an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 5.2 if:

(i) the Company has undertaken an Underwritten Offering, whether for its own account (but only in compliance with this Agreement) or pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement, within 180 days preceding the date of the request for such Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 5.2 is given to the Company; and

(ii) the number of Underwritten Offerings previously made pursuant to this Section 5.2 and not abandoned in the immediately preceding 12-month period shall exceed three (3).

Section 5.3 Grace Periods.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing or effectiveness of, or, at any time after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, suspend the use of, a Registration Statement (including the Prospectus included therein) if in the reasonable and good faith judgment of the Board, (i) such registration, offering or use would reasonably be expected to materially affect in an adverse manner, or materially interfere with any bona fide material financing of the Company or any material transaction under consideration by the Company (provided, however, that to the extent the Company undertakes an underwritten public offering in connection with such transaction, the Holders shall be entitled to the rights set forth in Section 5.4) or would require the disclosure of information that has not been, and is not otherwise required to be, disclosed to the public and the premature disclosure of which would materially affect the Company in an adverse manner; (ii) the Company is in possession of material non-public information, the disclosure of which would not be, in the reasonable and good faith opinion of the Board, in the best interests of the Company; (iii) the Company must amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iv) such registration or continued registration would render the Company unable to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act or Exchange Act (the period of a postponement or suspension as described in clause (i) and/or a delay described in clause (ii), (iii) or this clause (iv), a “Grace Period”); provided, however, that in the event such Registration Statement relates to an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 5.2, then the Holders initiating such Underwritten Offering shall be entitled to withdraw the request for the Underwritten Offering and, if such request is withdrawn, it shall not count against the limits imposed pursuant to Section 5.2 and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration.

(b) The Company shall promptly, and no later than three calendar days following the occurrence of an event giving rise to the Grace Period, (i) notify the Holders in writing of the existence of the Grace Period (provided that the Company shall not disclose the content of such material non-public information to any Holder, without the express consent of such Holder) or the need to file a post-effective amendment, as applicable, and the date on which such Grace Period began or will begin, and (ii) notify the Holders promptly, and no later than three calendar days following the conclusion of an event giving rise to the Grace Period, in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends.

(c) The duration of any one Grace Period shall not exceed 45 days, there shall not be more than two (2) Grace Periods in any 365-day period and the aggregate of all Grace Periods in total during any 365-day period shall not exceed 60 days. For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period, the Grace Period shall be deemed to begin on and include the date the Holders receive the notice referred to in clause (i) of Section 5.3(b) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Holders receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) of Section 5.3(b) and the date referred to in such notice.

Section 5.4 Piggyback Registration.

(a) If at any time, and from time to time, the Company proposes to conduct an underwritten offering of Common Stock for its own account or for the account of owners of Common Stock (including any Holder of Common Stock) entitled to participate in such offering, then the Company shall give written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) of such underwritten offering to the Holders at least ten Business Days prior to the earlier of the date of filing of the registration statement or the date of filing of the preliminary Prospectus supplement for such underwritten offering. Such Piggyback Notice shall include the number of shares of Common Stock to be offered, the proposed date of such underwritten offering, any proposed means of distribution of such shares of Common Stock, any proposed managing underwriter of such shares of Common Stock and a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed maximum offering price of such shares of Common Stock (as such price would appear on the front cover page of a registration statement), and shall offer the Holders the opportunity to sell such amount of Registrable Securities as such Holder may request on the same terms and conditions as the Company or any other Holder (a “Piggyback Offering”). Subject to Section 5.4(b), the Company will include in each Piggyback Offering all Registrable Securities for which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within five Business Days after the date the Piggyback Notice is given; provided, however, that in the case of a “takedown” of Common Stock registered under a shelf registration statement previously filed by the Company, such Registrable Securities are covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement that may be utilized for the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be offered. Except as provided in Section 5.17, the Company shall not grant piggyback registration rights to any holders of its Common Stock or securities that are convertible into its Common Stock unless such rights are junior in all respects to the rights of the Holders set forth in this Section 5.4(a).

(b) The Company will cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of the proposed offering to permit any Holder that has requested Registrable Securities to be included in the Piggyback Offering to include all such Registrable Securities on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities, if any, of the Company or any Other Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering advises the Company and the Holders in writing that, in its view, the total amount of shares of Common Stock that the Company and such Holders propose to include in such offering is such as to materially adversely affect the success of such underwritten offering, then:

(i) if such Piggyback Offering is an underwritten primary offering by the Company for its own account, the Company will include in such Piggyback Offering: (A) first, all shares of Common Stock to be offered by the Company; and (B) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such Piggyback Offering by the Holders and the Specified Shareholder on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included by such Selling Holders; or

(ii) if such Piggyback Offering is an underwritten secondary offering for the account of Other Holders exercising “demand” rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Company will include in such registration: (A) first, the shares of Common Stock of the Holders (including the Specified Shareholder), on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included by such Selling Holders ((B) second, the shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering by the Other Holders; and

in each case, the total amount of securities to be included in such Piggyback Offering is the full amount that, in the view of such managing underwriter, can be sold without materially adversely affecting the success of such Piggyback Offering.

(c) If at any time after giving the Piggyback Notice and prior to the time sales of securities are confirmed pursuant to the Piggyback Offering, the Company determines for any reason to delay a Piggyback Offering initiated by the Company, the Company may, at its election, give notice of its determination to the Holders, and in the case of such a determination, will be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with the abandoned or delayed Piggyback Offering, without prejudice.

(d) Any Holder may withdraw its request for inclusion of any or all of its Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Offering by giving written notice to the Company, at least one Business Day prior to the anticipated date of the filing by the Company of a Prospectus supplement under Rule 424 (which shall be the preliminary Prospectus supplement, if one is used in the “takedown”) with respect to such offering, of its intention to withdraw from that registration; provided, however, that (i) the Holder’s request be made in writing and (ii) the withdrawal will be irrevocable and, after making the withdrawal, such Holder will no longer have any right to include its Registrable Securities in that Piggyback Offering.

Section 5.5 Registration Procedures. If and when the Company is required to effect any registration under the Securities Act as provided in Section 5.1 or any Underwritten Offering as provided in Section 5.2, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC the requisite Registration Statement to effect such registration and thereafter use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective, subject to the limitations contained herein;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC, without the need for a request by the Holders, such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the method of disposition set forth in such Registration Statement, subject to the limitations contained herein;

(c) (i) before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, at the Company’s expense, furnish to each Holder whose securities are covered by such Registration Statement copies of all such documents, other than documents that are incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, proposed to be filed and such other documents reasonably requested by such Holders (which may be furnished by email), and afford counsel to such Holders a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents and (ii) in connection with the preparation and filing of each such Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement, (A) upon reasonable advance notice to the Company and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 7.13, give each of the foregoing such reasonable access to all financial and other records, corporate documents and properties of the Company as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Holders and such underwriters, to conduct a reasonable due diligence investigation for purposes of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and (B) upon reasonable advance notice to the Company and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 7.13, during normal business hours, provide such reasonable opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers, Directors, employees and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Holders and such underwriters, to conduct a reasonable due diligence investigation for purposes of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;

(h) with respect to any Underwritten Offering, obtain a signed:

(o) if requested by the managing underwriter(s) or the Holders beneficially owning a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an Underwritten Offering, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information relating to the plan of distribution for such shares of Registrable Securities provided to the Company in writing by the managing underwriters and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold and that is required to be included therein relating to the plan of distribution with respect to such Registrable Securities, including without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold to such underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the Underwritten Offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering, and make any required filings with respect to such information relating to the plan of distribution as soon as practicable after notified of the information;

(p) if reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent, promptly deliver any authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize the transfer agent to transfer such Registrable Securities without legend upon sale by the Holders of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement; and

(q) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.

In addition, at least 10 Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement for any registration under this Agreement, the Company will notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from that Holder, including any update to or confirmation of the information contained in the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire, if any, which shall be completed and delivered to the Company promptly upon request and, in any event, within five Business Days prior to the applicable anticipated filing date. Each Holder further agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Registration Statement or use the Prospectus for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has returned to the Company a completed and signed Selling Shareholder Questionnaire and a response to any requests for further information as described in the previous sentence and, if an Underwritten Offering, entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters in accordance with Section 5.2(c) and Section 5.7. If a Holder of Registrable Securities returns a Selling Shareholder Questionnaire or a request for further information, in either case, after its respective deadline, the Company shall be permitted to exclude such Holder from being a selling security holder in the Registration Statement or any pre-effective or post-effective amendment thereto. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information in the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire or request for further information as described in this Section 5.5 will be used by the Company in the preparation of the Registration Statement and hereby consents to the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement.

Section 5.6 Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay all reasonable Registration Expenses, including, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the Registration Expenses of an Underwritten Offering, regardless of whether any sale is made pursuant to such Underwritten Offering. Each Holder shall pay its pro rata share of all Selling Expenses in connection with any sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, each Selling Holder’s pro rata allocation of Selling Expenses shall be the percentage derived by dividing (i) the number of Registrable Securities sold by such Selling Holder in connection with such sale by (ii) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities sold by all Selling Holders in connection with such sale.

Section 5.7 Post-Offering Lock-up.

(a) In connection with any Underwritten Offering, Piggyback Offering or other underwritten public offering of equity securities by the Company, except with the written consent of the underwriters managing such offering, to the extent requested by the managing underwriter, no Holder who participates in such offering or who Beneficially Owns 5% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at such time shall Transfer, without prior written consent from the Company, during the seven days prior to and the 60-day period beginning on the date of closing of such offering (or such shorter period as agreed to by any of the Company, its executive officers or the Board) (the “Post-Offering Lock-up Period”), except as part of such offering; provided, that nothing herein will prevent any Holder from (i) making a Transfer of Registrable Securities to an Affiliate or otherwise in connection with estate planning transactions that is otherwise in compliance with the applicable securities laws, (ii) Transferring shares of Common Stock acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering, or (iii) if such person is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other entity, making Transfers to its stockholders, members, partners or trust beneficiaries as part of a distribution, or to any corporation, partnership or other entity that is its Affiliate, so long as such transferee agrees to be bound by the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.7(a). Each such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to execute a lock-up agreement in favor of the Company’s underwriters to such effect and, in any event, that the Company’s underwriters in any relevant offering shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.7(a). The provisions of this Section 5.7(a) will no longer apply to a Holder once such Holder ceases to hold Registrable Securities.

(b) In connection with any Underwritten Offering, the Company, and, to the extent requested by the managing underwriter, each of the Company’s Directors and officers, shall not effect any Transfer of equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, without prior written consent from the Selling Holder(s), during the Post-Offering Lock-up Period, except as part of such offering. The Company agrees to execute a lock-up agreement, and to call for the Company’s Directors and officers to execute a lock-up agreement, in favor of the underwriters for such Underwritten Offering to such effect and, in any event, that the underwriters for such Underwritten in any relevant offering shall be third party beneficiaries to this Section 5.7(b). The foregoing shall not apply to (1) Transfers of shares of Common Stock (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (ii) by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession to any legal representative, heir, beneficiary or immediate family member or (iii) by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or as required by a divorce settlement; (2) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the Transfer, sale or otherwise disposal of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock during the Post-Offering Lock-Up Period and (ii) any public announcement or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act made regarding the establishment of such plan during the Post-Offering Lock-Up Period shall include a statement that such person is not permitted to Transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of securities under such plan during the Post-Offering Lock-Up Period; (4) Transfers of shares of Common Stock acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering; (5) if such person is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other entity, transfers to its stockholders, members, partners or trust beneficiaries as part of a distribution, or to any corporation, partnership or other entity that is its affiliate; and (6) with respect to the Company, issuances of shares of Common Stock or other securities in connection with an acquisition of assets or acquisition of not less than a majority or controlling portion of the equity of another entity, in each case, which is a bona fide transaction with an unaffiliated third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may effect a public sale or distribution of securities of the type described above and during the periods described above if such sale or distribution is made pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or as part of any registration of securities offering and sale to employees, Directors or consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement.

Section 5.8 Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, Directors (including the Juniper Preferred Director), agents, partners, members, managers, trustees, shareholders, Affiliates, employees and investment managers of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, Directors, partners, members, managers, trustees, shareholders, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), to which any of them may become subject, that arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement contemplated herein, any Prospectus or any form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus thereto or (b) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was provided by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 5.5(i), related to the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated and defined in Section 5.16, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party, shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders, and shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

Section 5.9 Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its respective Directors (including the Juniper Preferred Director), officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the Directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or any form of Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (a) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein; (b) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was provided by such Holder expressly for use therein or (c) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 5.5(i), to the extent, but only to the extent, related to the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective in accordance with this Agreement and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 5.16, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. In no event shall the liability of any Selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Selling Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party, shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders, and shall be in addition to any liability which the Holder may otherwise have.

Section 5.10 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.

(a) If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity under this Section 5.10 (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (a) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (b) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (c) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that in the reasonable judgment of such counsel a conflict of interest exists if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

(c) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 5.10) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, with reasonable promptness after receipt of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 5.10, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

Section 5.11 Contribution.

(a) If a claim for indemnification under Section 5.8 or Section 5.9 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.

(b) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.11 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.11, no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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.

Section 5.12 Rule 144 and Rule 144A; Other Exemptions. With a view to making available to the Holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 and Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and other rules and regulations of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder of Registrable Securities to sell securities of the Company without registration, until the earlier of (a) such time as when no Registrable Securities remain outstanding and (b) such time as the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company covenants that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required, if any, to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder or (ii) make available information necessary to comply with Rule 144 and Rule 144A, if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, at all times, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (A) Rule 144 and Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities), as such rules may be amended from time to time or (B) any other rules or regulations now existing or hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the reasonable request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information requirements, and, if not, the specific reasons for non-compliance.

Section 5.13 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights of the Holders to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities under this Article V may not be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the Company; provided, however, that a Holder may assign such rights pursuant to this Article V in connection with a transfer of Registrable Securities (including a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee) so long as (a) such transfer or assignment is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws, (b) the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms set forth in this Article V, and (c) the Company is given written notice prior to such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each such transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; provided, however, that any rights assigned hereunder shall apply only in respect of the Registrable Securities that are transferred or assigned and not in respect of any other securities that the transferee or assignee may hold.

Section 5.14 Cooperation by Holders. The Company shall have no obligation to include Registrable Securities of a Holder in any Registration Statement or Underwritten Offering if such Holder has failed to timely furnish such information as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities that the Company determines, after consultation with its counsel, is reasonably required in order for any Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act.

Section 5.15 Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the Prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement and shall sell the Registrable Securities only in accordance with a method of distribution described in such Registration Statement.

Section 5.16 Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Grace Period or any event of the kind described in Section 5.5(i), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.16.

Section 5.17 Preservation of Rights. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall not grant any registration rights to third parties which are more favorable than or inconsistent with the rights granted hereunder.

Section 5.18 Opt-Out Notices. Any Holder may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that such Holder not receive notice from the Company of any proposed Underwritten Offering, the withdrawal of any Underwritten Offering or any event that would lead to a suspension or delay as contemplated by Section 5.3(a); provided, however, that such Holder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from a Holder (unless subsequently revoked), the Company shall not deliver any notice to such Holder pursuant to Section 5.4, and such Holder shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice.

Section 5.19 Company Obligations Regarding Transfer. The restrictive legend on any Shareholder Securities or Specified Shareholder Securities covered by this Agreement shall be removed if (i) such shares are or may be sold, distributed or otherwise transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act in accordance with the plan of distribution described therein, (ii) such shares may be sold by the applicable Holder free of restrictions without regard to Rule 144(b) (i.e., such Holder is not an Affiliate of the Company, and has not been an Affiliate of the Company for the previous three months, and has satisfied the one-year holding period under Rule 144), or (iii) such shares are being sold, assigned or otherwise transferred pursuant to Rule 144; provided that with respect to clause (ii) or (iii) above, the applicable Holder has provided all documentation and evidence (which may include an opinion of counsel) as may reasonably be required by the Company or its transfer agent to confirm that the legend may be removed under applicable securities laws (the “Legend Removal Documents”). The Company shall cooperate with the applicable Holder covered by this Agreement to effect removal of the legend on such shares pursuant to this Section 6.19 as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of notice from such Holder that the conditions to removal are satisfied (together with any Legend Removal Documents). The Company shall bear all direct costs and expenses associated with the removal of a legend pursuant to this Section 6.19, provided that the applicable Holder shall be responsible for all fees and expenses (including counsel for such Holder) incurred by such Holder with respect to delivering the Legend Removal Documents.

Section 7.2 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto, including subsequent Holders to the extent permitted herein.

Section 7.3 Assignment of Rights. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by the Shareholder or the Specified Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that any of the rights, interests or obligations of the Shareholder or the Specified Shareholder may be assigned to any of their respective Affiliates without the requirement of any such consent, and, following such assignment, such assignee shall be a Shareholder or Specified Shareholder (as applicable) for all purposes hereunder. Any purported assignment in breach of this Section 7.3 shall be null and void ab initio.

Section 7.4 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by the parties. Prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.16, it is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, in each case in accordance with this Section 7.4, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under the terms of this Agreement at law or in equity. Each party accordingly agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such party under this Agreement all in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.4. Each party further agrees that no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 7.4, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

Section 7.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, including via facsimile or email in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form transmission, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when two or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 7.6 Rules of Construction.

(a) Each of the parties acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its choice throughout all negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement and that it has executed the same with the advice of said independent counsel. Each party and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and any and all drafts relating thereto exchanged between the parties shall be deemed the work product of the parties and may not be construed against any party by reason of its preparation. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against any party that drafted it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived.

(b) The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and “hereof” and words of similar import, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The words “this Section,” “this subsection” and words of similar import, refer only to the Sections or subsections hereof in which such words occur. The word “including” (in its various forms) means “including, without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine or neuter genders shall be construed to state and include any other gender and words, terms and titles (including terms defined herein) in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise expressly requires. Unless the context otherwise requires, all defined terms contained herein shall include the singular and plural and the conjunctive and disjunctive forms of such defined terms. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to a specific time shall refer to Houston, Texas time. The word “or” is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” The term “dollars” and the symbol “$” mean United States Dollars. The headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof.

(c) In this Agreement, except as the context may otherwise require, references to: (i) any agreement (including this Agreement), contract, statute or regulation are to the agreement, contract, statute or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented, restated or replaced from time to time (in the case of an agreement or contract, to the extent permitted by the terms thereof and, if applicable, by the terms of this Agreement); (ii) any Authority includes any successor to that Authority; (iii) any applicable law refers to such applicable law as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time (and, in the case of statutes, include any rules and regulations promulgated under such statute) and references to any section of any applicable law or other law include any successor to such section; and (iv) “days” mean calendar days; when calculating the period of time within which, or following which, any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference day in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of the period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next Business Day or if any action must be taken hereunder on or by a day that is not a Business Day, then such action may be validly taken on or by the next day that is a Business Day.

Section 7.7 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT) THAT MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF.

(b) THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF (I) THE TEXAS BUSINESS COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS IF SUCH COURT IS THEN FUNCTIONING OR (II) IF THE TEXAS BUSINESS COURT IS NOT THEN FUNCTIONING, THEN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF HOUSTON WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE THAT ARISES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING FOR INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SAID COURTS OR THAT SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SAID COURTS OR THAT VENUE THEREOF MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS, AND THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY BY SUCH A TEXAS BUSINESS, STATE OR FEDERAL COURT AND EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREE NOT TO COMMENCE ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING EXCEPT IN SUCH TEXAS BUSINESS, STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO AND GRANT ANY SUCH COURT JURISDICTION OVER THE PERSON OF SUCH PARTIES AND OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH DISPUTE AND AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 7.1 OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.7.

Section 7.8 Severability of Provisions. Each party agrees that, should any court or other competent authority hold any provision of this Agreement or part hereof to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such other term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties shall substitute a suitable and equitable provision therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, in response to an order from a court or other competent authority for any party to take any action inconsistent herewith or not to take an action consistent herewith or required hereby, to the extent that a party took an action inconsistent with this Agreement or failed to take action consistent with this Agreement or required by this Agreement pursuant to such order, such party shall not incur any liability or obligation unless such party did not in good faith seek to resist or object to the imposition or entering of such order.

Section 7.9 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (together with the Merger Agreement and any other documents and instruments executed pursuant hereto) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, that (i) the Persons entitled to indemnification shall be express third-party beneficiaries of Section 5.8, Section 5.9, Section 5.10 and Section 5.11, (ii) each Permitted Transferee shall be an express third-party beneficiary of Section 2.1 and (iii) each member of the Investor Group and each Juniper Director shall be an express third-party beneficiary of Section 6.2.

Section 7.10 Amendment. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended only by means of a written amendment signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that only an amendment of any of the Specified Shareholder Provisions shall require the written consent of the Specified Shareholder.

Section 7.11 Obligations Limited to Parties to Agreement. Each of the parties hereto covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Person other than the Shareholder and the Specified Shareholder (and their respective transferees or assignees) and the Company shall have any obligation hereunder and that no recourse under this Agreement shall be had against any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, trustee, shareholder or Affiliate of the Shareholder or Specified Shareholder or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, trustee, shareholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, trustee, shareholder or Affiliate of any Shareholder or Specified Shareholder or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, trustee, shareholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, as such, for any obligations of the Shareholder under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligation or its creation.

Section 7.12 Confidentiality of Records.

(a) Subject to Section 7.12(b), each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep confidential, disclose only to its Affiliates or Permitted Parties (in the case of a Holder) or representatives (in the case of the Company) with a bona fide need to know, and use only in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement all information and data obtained by them from the other party hereto or its Affiliates or its representatives relating to such other party or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than information or data that (i) is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section 7.12, (ii) was available prior to its disclosure to or by one party to another, or (iii) becomes available to one party hereto from a source other than the other party hereto; provided, that, such source is not known by the receiving party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with either of the non-receiving parties or their representatives and is not otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the receiving party by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation), unless disclosure of such information or data is required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange listing standard or is requested by an Authority with competent jurisdiction over the disclosing party.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to compliance with the Company’s bona fide internal policies, and excluding any trade or business secrets, a Juniper Director and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Preferred Director may disclose to the Holder, the Permitted Parties and its and their relevant directors, officers and employees, in each case with a bona fide need to know, any and all information received or observed by him or her in his or her capacity as a Juniper Director or a Juniper Preferred Director; provided, that such information shall not be (i) used for any purpose other than, to the extent consistent with applicable law, (A) to monitor, oversee and make decisions with respect to the Holder’s investment in the Company; (B) to comply with the Holder’s obligations under this Agreement; (C) to exercise any of the Holder’s rights under this Agreement; (D) to collaborate with the Company and (E) in order to perform the proper functions of a Person’s employment or duties (clauses (A) through (D), the “Permitted Purposes”) or (ii) disclosed to any Affiliate of the Shareholder other than the Permitted Parties; provided, further, that the Shareholder will be allowed to disclose the types of information that are customary for private equity funds to provide their members, limited partners and partners, without the prior written consent of the Company, so long as (y) such Person is bound by confidentiality obligations to the Shareholder or its Affiliates and (z) no materials provided to members of the Board or committees thereof are disclosed. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.12(b) to the contrary but subject to the foregoing proviso, any competitively sensitive information (as determined in good faith by the Board and identified as such in writing to the Shareholder) or local pricing data may only be disclosed to (a) Internal Permitted Parties and (b) External Permitted Parties to whom such disclosure is made for a Permitted Purpose; provided that with respect to any such disclosure: (i) in accordance with applicable law, each Juniper Director and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Preferred Director shall be subject to his or her fiduciary duties as a Director with respect to sharing such information, which duties shall include, without limitation, a restriction on sharing information subject to confidentiality by the Company with third parties if the Company has identified to each Juniper Director or Juniper Preferred Director, as applicable, in writing that such information is confidential and the disclosure thereof by each Juniper Director and/or Juniper Preferred Director, as applicable, would cause a breach of such confidentiality obligation, (ii) such disclosure to External Permitted Parties is limited to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary for a Permitted Purpose and consistent with the internal policies and practices of the Shareholder and its Affiliates, and (iii) no such disclosure shall be permitted to the extent it adversely affects the attorney-client privilege of the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.16 to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 7.12 shall terminate with respect to a Holder and its Affiliates and representatives on the date that is 12 months following the Termination Date.

Section 7.13 Further Assurances. The Company and the Shareholder and Specified Shareholder shall cooperate with one another and shall take such further action and shall execute and deliver such further documents as may be reasonably requested by any other party in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

Section 7.14 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 7.15 Action in Shareholder Capacity Only. The Shareholder has executed this Agreement solely in its capacity as the record holder or Beneficial Owner of Shareholder Securities and, except as set forth in Section 6.2, nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by, or fiduciary duties of, any Juniper Director or Juniper Preferred Director in his or her capacity as a Director to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 7.16 Termination. Unless otherwise specified herein, this Agreement shall terminate as to a Holder upon the earlier of (a) the Trigger Date with respect to such Holder and (b) the date on which such Holder provides written notice to the Company terminating this Agreement (such earlier date, the “Termination Date” with respect to such Holder); provided, however, that the provisions of Article V shall survive such termination in accordance with their respective terms.

Section 7.17 Adjustments. If there are any changes in the Capital Stock as a result of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, recapitalization or other similar event, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations under this Agreement shall continue with respect to the Capital Stock as so changed. In the event that the Company effects the separation of any portion of its business or assets into one or more entities (each, a “NewCo”), whether existing or newly formed, including without limitation by way of spin-off, split-off, carve-out, demerger, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, and any Holder will receive equity interests in any such NewCo as part of such separation, the Company shall cause any such NewCo to enter into a shareholders agreement with the Holders that provides the Holders with rights vis-à -vis such NewCo that are substantially identical to those set forth in this Agreement, and each of the Holders shall enter into such agreement.
