(xi) in the case of certificated Registrable Securities, cooperate with the participating Holders of Registrable Securities and the managing underwriters to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any legends) representing Registrable Securities sold pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement;

(xii) cause the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities, as may be reasonably necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the seller or sellers of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(xiv) provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement;

(xv) make available at reasonable times for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any managing underwriter participating in any disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, Counsel to the Holders and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the selling Holder or any managing underwriters (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ officers, directors and employees, and the independent public accountants of the Company, to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement. Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors (and the Inspectors shall confirm their agreement in writing in advance to the Company if the Company shall so request) unless (A) the disclosure of such Records is necessary, in the Inspector’s judgment and with the concurrence of counsel to the Company, to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement, (B) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom or (C) the information in such Records was known to the Inspectors on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Company or has been made generally available to the public. Each seller of Registrable Securities agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction or by any other person, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential;

(xvi) in the case of a Holder Underwritten Offering, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a “comfort” letter or letters, dated as of such date or dates as the Counsel to the Holders or the managing underwriters reasonably requests, from the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “comfort” letters as Counsel to the Holders or any managing underwriter reasonably requests;

(xvii) in the case of a Holder Underwritten Offering, furnish, at the request of any managing underwriter for such offering an opinion with respect to legal matters and a negative assurance letter with respect to disclosure matters, dated as of each closing date of such offering of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters, covering such matters with respect to the registration in respect of which such opinion and letter are being delivered as the underwriters, may reasonably request and are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters;

(xviii) in the case of a Holder Underwritten Offering, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with FINRA and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter and its counsel (including any “qualified independent underwriter,” if applicable) that is (A) required or requested by FINRA in order to obtain written confirmation from FINRA that FINRA does not object to the fairness and reasonableness of the underwriting terms and arrangements (or any deemed underwriting terms and arrangements) relating to the resale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, including, without limitation, information provided to FINRA through its COBRADesk system or (B) required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of FINRA;

(xix) if requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or by any Holder of Registrable Securities being sold in a Holder Underwritten Offering, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement such information as the managing underwriters, if any, or such Holders indicate relates to them or that they reasonably request be included therein;

(xx) within the deadlines specified by the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, make all required filings of all Prospectuses and Free Writing Prospectuses with the SEC; and

(xxi) within the deadlines specified by the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, make all required filing fee payments in respect of any Registration Statement or Prospectus used under this Agreement (and any offering covered thereby).

(c) Seller Requirements. In connection with any offering under any Registration Statement under this Agreement, each Electing Holder (i) shall promptly furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Holder and the intended method of disposition of its Registrable Securities as the Company may reasonably request or as may be required by law or regulations for use in connection with any related Registration Statement or Prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) and all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not contain a material misstatement of fact or necessary to cause such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) not to omit a material fact with respect to such Holder necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) shall comply with the

Securities Act and the Exchange Act and all applicable state securities laws and comply with all applicable regulations in connection with the registration and the disposition of the Registrable Securities; and (iii) shall not use any Free Writing Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Company. If any Electing Holder of Registrable Securities fails to provide such information required to be included in such Registration Statement by applicable securities laws or otherwise necessary or desirable in connection with the disposition of such Registrable Securities in a timely manner after written request therefor, the Company may exclude such Electing Holder’s Registrable Securities from a registration under Sections 3 or 4 hereof.

6. Registration Expenses. (a) Whether or not any Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective, the Company shall pay all costs, fees and expenses arising from or incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including the sale of the Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, (i) SEC, stock exchanges, FINRA (including, without limitation, fees, charges and disbursements of counsel in connection with FINRA registration), and other registration and filing fees (ii) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with complying with any securities or “Blue Sky” laws, including, without limitation, fees, charges and disbursements of counsel in connection therewith, (iii) printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested by the Holders), (iv) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (v) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and any other legal fees, charges or expenses (vi) fees and disbursements of all independent certified public accountants of the Company and any other accounting fees, charges or expenses (including expenses of any “cold comfort” letters required in connection with this Agreement or as an incident to registration) and all other persons retained by the Company in connection with such Registration Statement, (vii) reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Counsel to the Holders in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement called for by Section 3(a) and in connection with any Piggyback Takedown or any Holder Underwritten Offering, (viii) with respect to Registrable Securities that are listed on a national securities exchange, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of such Registrable Securities, and (ix) all other costs, fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance or compliance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the fees and expenses of any persons retained by any Holder, other than one counsel for all such Holders, will be payable by such Holder and the Company will have no obligation to pay any such amounts. The Holders shall be responsible for any commissions and transfer taxes relating to the sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement.

7. Indemnification; Contribution.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, the partners, officers, directors, agents, trustees and employees of each of them, each Person who controls each such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the partners, officers, directors, agents, trustees and employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgment, costs and expenses, or any action or proceeding in respect thereof (including any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action,

whether or not the indemnified party is a party to any proceeding) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon (w) any untrue, or allegedly untrue, statement of a material fact contained in any Disclosure Package, any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (x) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading under the circumstances in which they were made, except insofar as the same are based upon and consistent with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in such Disclosure Package, Registration Statement, Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto. The Company shall also provide customary indemnities to any underwriters of, or other broker-dealers participating in the distribution of, the Registrable Securities, their officers, directors and employees and each Person who controls such underwriters or other broker-dealers (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of Registrable Securities.

(b) Indemnification by Holders. In connection with any offering in which a Holder is participating, such Holder agrees to indemnify, severally and not jointly with the other Holders and to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Holders, (i) the Company, its partners, directors, officers, agents, trustees and employees, (ii) 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 partners, directors, officers, agents, trustees or employees of such controlling Persons, (iii) any other Holder, the partners, officers, directors, agents, trustees and employees of each of them, (iv) each Person who controls any such other Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the partners, officers, directors, agents, trustees and employees of each such controlling Person, from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon (x) any untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in the any Disclosure Package, any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (y) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading under the circumstances in which they were made, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is based upon and is consistent with information relating to such Holder so furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder to the Company expressly for use in such Disclosure Package, Registration Statement, Prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto. No Holder shall be held liable for any damages in excess of the total amount of proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities sold by such Holder (net of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions) under the Disclosure Package, Registration Statement, Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto as to which such offering relates.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnity or contribution hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of any claim or commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not

relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt of notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or proceeding, to assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that (i) an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or 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: (1) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume the defense of such claim or proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; or (3) the named parties to any proceeding (including impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are in addition to or are inconsistent with those available to the Indemnifying Party or that a conflict of interest is likely to exist among such Indemnified Party and any other indemnified parties (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party); and (ii) subject to clause (3) above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all of the indemnified parties. No Indemnifying Party shall be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the consent of such Indemnified Party, effect entry of any judgment or into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is applicable in accordance with its terms but is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses, then each applicable 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, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, 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, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been taken 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 any such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees, charges or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this

Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 7(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(d), an Indemnifying Party that is a Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount which is in excess of the amount by which the total proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities sold by such Holder (net of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions) exceeds the amount of any damages that such Indemnifying Party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) was determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. 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.

8. Rule 144 Information. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a registration statement relating to the Registrable Securities has been declared effective under either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the Company covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to:

a. Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the earlier of (i) such time as a registration statement relating to the Class A Shares, has been declared effective under either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or (ii) the date that the Company becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, for so long as the Company remains subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, all to the extent required from time to time to enable a Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. If at any time the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it will make available other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to, Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

b. Use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder (at any time it is subject to such reporting requirements).

c. Furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company and other information as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

9. Participation in Underwritten Offering/Sale of Registrable Securities. No Person may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in customary form entered into pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, that the Holders included in any underwritten registration shall make only those representations and warranties to the Company or the underwriters as are customary for similar transactions and such other representations and warranties that the underwriters may reasonably request that are agreed by any such Holder.

10. Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, and except with respect to the Other Registration Agreements, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Holders beneficially owning not less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in the Shelf Registration Statement unless, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such Shelf Registration Statement only to the extent that the inclusion of its securities will not reduce the amount of Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included on such Shelf Registration Statement.

11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Termination. This Agreement and the obligations of the Company and the Holders hereunder (other than with respect to Section 7) shall terminate on the first date on which no Registrable Securities remain outstanding, or when Registrable Securities otherwise cease to be Registrable Securities.

(b) Notices. All notices, requests, waivers and other communications made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been effectively given (i) when personally delivered to the party to be notified; (ii) when sent by confirmed facsimile to the party to be notified at the number set forth below; (iii) when sent by email to the party to be notified at the email address set forth below; (iv) three (3) Business Days after deposit in the United States mail postage prepaid by certified or registered mail return receipt requested and addressed to the party to be notified as set forth below; or (v) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a national overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to be notified as set forth below with next-business-day delivery guaranteed, in each case as follows:

(c) Separability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof which shall remain in full force and effect.

(d) Successors and Assigns: Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure, as hereinafter provided, to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties, including each Holder of any Registrable Securities, who executes a Joinder in the form attached as Annex B hereto, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation, applicable law and any applicable agreement. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to and benefit from all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities, such person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.

(e) Specific Performance. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) irreparable damages would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached and (b) remedies at law would not be adequate to compensate the non-breaching party. Accordingly, the Company agrees that each Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce its rights hereunder, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor including any other remedy to which they are entitled, at law or in equity, including without limitation money damages. The right to equitable relief, including an injunction or specific performance, shall not be limited by any other provision of this Agreement. In any action or proceeding against it seeking an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the Company hereby (i) waives and agrees not to assert any defense that an adequate remedy exists at law or that a Holder of Registrable Securities would not be irreparably harmed and (ii) waives and agrees not to seek any requirement for the posting of any bond or other security in connection with any such action or proceeding.

(f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties and shall supersede any and all previous contracts, arrangements or understandings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(g) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Company and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company shall have obtained a written consent to such amendment, action or omission to act of the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, provided however, that any modification, alteration, waiver or change that has a disproportionate and adverse effect on any right of any Holder under this Agreement shall not be effective against such Holder without the prior written consent of such Holder, provided further, that any modification, alteration, waiver or change that has a material adverse effect on any right of any Initial Holder under this Agreement shall not be effective against such Initial Holder without the prior written consent of such Initial Holder.

No waiver of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other breach of such terms and conditions or any other term or condition, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of such provision or of any other

provision hereof. No written waiver hereunder, unless it by its own terms explicitly provides to the contrary, shall be construed to effect a continuing waiver of the provisions being waived and no such waiver in any instance shall constitute a waiver in any other instance or for any other purpose or impair the right of the party against whom such waiver is claimed in all other instances or for all other purposes to require full compliance with such provision. The failure of any party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(h) Publicity. No public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior consent of the Company and any other party mentioned in such release or announcement, except to the extent that such issuing party is advised by counsel that such release or announcement is necessary or advisable under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall to the extent practicable provide the Company and any such other party with an opportunity to review and comment on such release or announcement in advance of its issuance.

Annex A

Notice and Questionnaire

The undersigned beneficial holder of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Shares”) of Xxxxxxx Xxxx Homes (the “Company”) which are Registrable Securities understands that the Company intends to file or has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC “) a registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Registrable Securities, in accordance with the terms of the registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company and the Holders named therein. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is available from the Company upon request at the address set forth below. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Each beneficial holder of Registrable Securities (each a “beneficial owner”) is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. In order to sell, or otherwise dispose of, any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, a beneficial owner of Registrable Securities generally will be required to be named as a selling securityholder in the related prospectus, deliver a prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities and be bound by those provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement applicable to such beneficial owner (including certain indemnification provisions as described below). Beneficial owners that do not complete this Notice and Questionnaire and deliver it to the Company as provided below will not be named as selling securityholders in the prospectus and, therefore, will not be permitted to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus. Accordingly, holders and beneficial owners of Registrable Securities are advised to consult their own securities legal counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus.

NOTICE

The undersigned beneficial owner (the “Selling Securityholder”) of Registrable Securities hereby gives notice to the Company of its intention to sell or otherwise dispose of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by it and listed below in Item 3 (unless otherwise specified under such Item 3) pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. The undersigned, by signing and returning this Notice and Questionnaire, understands that it will be bound by the terms and conditions of this Notice and Questionnaire and the Registration Rights Agreement.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the undersigned has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company’s directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), from and against certain losses arising in connection with statements concerning the undersigned that are made in the Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus in reliance upon the information provided in this Notice and Questionnaire.

If the Selling Securityholder transfers all or any portion of the Registrable Securities listed in Item 3 below after the date on which such information is provided to the Company, the Selling Securityholder agrees to notify the transferee(s), assuming such transferee(s) are not unknown to the Selling Securityholder as a result of having acquired Registrable Securities pursuant to a sale after Registration of such Registrable Securities, at the time of the transfer of its rights and obligations under this Notice and Questionnaire and the Registration Rights Agreement.
