to occur of (i) June 8, 2007, or (ii) nine (9) months after completion of the IPO, a Shelf
Registration Statement on Form N-2 or such other form under the Securities Act then
available to the Company providing for the resale, pursuant to Rule 415, from time to time
by the Holders of any and all Registrable Securities (including for the avoidance of doubt
any Additional Securities that are issued prior to the effectiveness of such shelf
Registration Statement) (such registration statement, including the Prospectus, amendments
and supplements to such registration statement or Prospectus, including pre- and
post-effective amendments, all exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference
or deemed to be incorporated by reference, if any, in such registration statement, the
“Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly
as practicable but in any event on or prior to the 75th day following
6
such filing. Any Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for the resale, from time
to time and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available (including,
without limitation, an Underwritten Offering, a direct sale to purchasers, a sale through
brokers or agents or a sale over the internet) by the Holders, of any and all Registrable
Securities.
(b) [Reserved]
(c) Subsequent Registration. If, following an IPO, the Company proposes to
file with the SEC at any time a registration statement on Form N-2 or such other form under
the Securities Act providing for a follow-on public offering of Common Shares (any such
registration statement, including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements to such
registration statement or Prospectus, including pre- and post-effective amendments, all
exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by
reference, if any, in such registration statement, a “Subsequent Shelf Registration
Statement”) then the Company will notify each Holder in writing of the filing (including
notifying each Holder of the identity of the managing underwriters of such subsequent public
offering), within five Business Days after the filing thereof, and afford each Holder an
opportunity within the 15-Business Day period designated in such notice to include in such
Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then
held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement all or part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall,
within 15 Business Days after receipt of the above-described notice by the Company, so
notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of
Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such Subsequent Shelf Registration
Statement. Any election by any Holder to include any Registrable Securities in such
Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement will not affect the inclusion of such Registrable
Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement until such Registrable Securities have been
sold under the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that at such time
of sale, the Company shall have the right to remove from the Shelf Registration Statement
the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the
SEC prior to the filing of a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, Registrable Securities
will not be entitled to be included in the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement.
(d) Provisions Applicable to IPO Registration Statement or Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement.
(i) Right to Terminate IPO Registration Statement or Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement. At any time, the Company shall have the right to terminate
or withdraw any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(c)
whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such
registration; provided, however, that the Company must provide each Holder that
elected to include any Registrable Securities in such Subsequent Shelf Registration
Statement prompt notice of such termination. Furthermore, in the event the
Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by
7
the SEC within 75 days following the initial filing of the Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement, unless a road show for the Underwritten Offering pursuant to
the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is in progress at such time, the Company
shall promptly provide a new notice in writing substantially the same as the
original notice described above to all Holders giving the Holders, as applicable, a
further opportunity to elect to include Registrable Securities in the pending
Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement. Each Holder desiring to include in any
such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement all or part of the Registrable
Securities held by such Holder shall, within 15 Business Days after receipt of the
above-described notice by the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such
notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder
wishes to include in such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement.
(ii) Shelf Registration not Impacted by Subsequent Shelf Registration
Statement. The Company’s obligation to file the Shelf Registration Statement
pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof and keep effective such Shelf Registration Statement
shall not be affected by the filing or effectiveness of a Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement, except to the extent Registrable Securities are sold
pursuant to a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, in which case, the Company
shall have the right to remove from such Shelf Registration Statement the
Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement.
(iii) Selection of Underwriter. The Company shall have the sole
right to select the managing or co-lead underwriter(s) for its IPO or any follow-on
public offering, regardless of whether any Registrable Securities are included in a
Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement as provided above. The right of any such
Holder’s Registrable Securities, as applicable, to be included in any Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(c) shall be conditioned upon such
Holder’s participation, as applicable, in such Underwritten Offering and the
inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, as applicable, in the
Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to
distribute their Registrable Securities through such Underwritten Offering shall
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing
underwriters selected by the Company for such underwriting and complete and execute
any questionnaires, powers-of-attorney, indemnities, securities escrow agreements
and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting, and
furnish to the Company such information in writing as the Company may reasonably
request for inclusion in any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement; provided,
however, that no Holder who is not an affiliate of the Company or Tortoise Capital
Advisors shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or
agreements (including indemnities) with the Company or the underwriters other than
representations, warranties or agreements (including indemnities) as are customary
and reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriters with the understanding
that the foregoing shall be several, not joint and several, and no such agreement
(including indemnities) shall
8
require any Holder to be liable for an amount in excess of the gross proceeds
received by such Holder through such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriters determine in good
faith that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be
included, then the managing underwriters may exclude shares (including Registrable
Securities) from the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement and any Common Shares
included in a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be allocated, first, to
the Company, second, to each of the holders pursuant to registration rights
agreements dated December 8, 2005 and January 9, 2006 between the Company and
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated and ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Company, Incorporated (the “Existing Registration Rights Agreements”)
requesting inclusion of their registrable securities under the Existing Registration
Rights Agreements in such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, and third, to
each of the Holders hereunder, on a pro rata basis based on the total number of
Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder requesting inclusion.
If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any Underwritten Offering that is
undertaken by the Company in accordance with the terms hereof, such Holder may elect
to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing
underwriter(s), delivered at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective
date of the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that if, in
the opinion of counsel, such withdrawal would necessitate a re-circulation of the
Prospectus to investors, such Holder shall be required to deliver such written
notice at least 10 Business Days prior to the effective date of such Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from
such Underwritten Offering shall be excluded and withdrawn from such Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement.
(iv) Hold-Back Agreement. By electing to include Registrable
Securities in a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, if any, each Holder shall
be deemed to have agreed not to effect any sale or distribution of securities of the
Company of the same or similar class or classes of the securities included in such
Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule
144 or Rule 144A, during such periods as reasonably requested by the managing
underwriter(s) of the Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement (but in no event for a period longer than 180 days or 90 days
following the effective date of such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement),
provided that each of Tortoise Capital Advisors and its Affiliates and each
executive officer, director, stockholder, member, partner or manager of any of the
foregoing that hold Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for Common Shares are subject to the same restriction for the entire
time period required of the Holders hereunder.
(e) Registrable Securities not Included under Subsequent Shelf Registration
Statement. If Registrable Securities were otherwise not included in a Subsequent Shelf
9
Registration Statement because (i) a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is
withdrawn prior to the distribution of all Registrable Securities registered thereunder, (b)
the underwriters exercise their right to exclude any Registrable Securities from such
Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, or (c) any Registrable Securities are otherwise not
offered an opportunity to be registered under and distributed pursuant to such Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement, then the Company will be obligated to file an additional shelf
registration statement relating to any Registrable Securities not included in and
distributed pursuant to such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement (y) within thirty (30)
days of the withdrawal or abandonment of the offering pursuant to such Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement or (z) within one hundred eighty (180) days of the consummation of
the offering pursuant to such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, providing for the
resale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 from time to time by the Holders
(such registration statement, including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements to such
registration statement or Prospectus, including pre- and post-effective amendments, all
exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by
reference, if any, in such registration statement, an “Additional Shelf Registration
Statement”) in the same manner, and subject to the same provisions in this Agreement as the
Shelf Registration Statement, provided that the provisions of Sections 2(a), 2(c) and 2(d)
shall not apply to any Additional Shelf Registration Statement.
(f) Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection
with the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement. Each Holder
participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall bear such Holder’s
proportionate share (based on the total number of Registrable Securities sold in such
registration) of all discounts and commissions payable to underwriters or brokers and all
transfer taxes and transfer fees in connection with a registration of Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Agreement and any other expense of the Holders, as applicable, not
specifically allocated to the Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to the sale or
disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement.
3. Rules 144 and 144A Reporting.
With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may
permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, until such date
as no Holder owns any Registrable Securities, the Company agrees to:
(a) at all times after the effective date of the first registration statement
under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the
general public, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information
available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144(c);
(b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely
manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such
reporting requirements); and
10
(c) if the Company is not required to file reports and other documents under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, make available other information as required by,
and so long as necessary to permit sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to, Rule 144 and
Rule 144A and in any event shall provide to each Holder a copy of:
(i) the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements (including
at least balance sheets, statements of profit and loss, statements of stockholders’
equity and statements of cash flows) prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, accompanied by an audit report of the Company’s
independent accountants, no later than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Company, and

(including at least balance sheets, statements of profit and loss, statements of
stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows) prepared in a manner consistent
with the preparation of the Company’s annual financial statements, no later than 45
days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company.
(d) take such further actions consistent with this Section 3, as a Holder may
reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder
to sell any such Registrable Securities without registration.
4. Registration Procedures.
In connection with the obligations of the Company with respect to any registration pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect or cause to be
effected the registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act to permit the
public resale of such Registrable Securities by the Holder or Holders in accordance with the
Holders’ intended method or methods of resale and distribution (which methods shall be commercially
reasonable), and the Company shall:
(a) notify Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, in writing, at least 20 Business
Days prior to filing a Registration Statement (other than a Subsequent Shelf Registrant
Statement notice which is set forth in Section 2), of its intention to file such
Registration Statement with the SEC and, at least 15 Business Days prior to filing, provide
a copy of the Registration Statement to Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, for review and
comment, which comments shall be provided within 10 Business Days of delivering such
Registration Statement; prepare and file with the SEC, as specified in this Agreement, a
Registration Statement, which Registration Statement shall comply in all material respects
as to form with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements
required by the SEC to be filed therewith, and use its best efforts to reflect in such
Registration Statement, when so filed with the SEC, such comments as Selling Holders’
Counsel, if any, may reasonably propose; notify Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, in
writing, at least two Business Days prior to the filing of any amendment or supplement to a
Registration Statement, and within a reasonable time prior to filing, provide a copy of such
amendment or supplement to Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, for review and comment and use
its best efforts to reflect in such amendment or supplement,
11
when so filed with the SEC, such comments as Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, may
reasonably propose; and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration
Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable following such filing (and in any
event as provided in Section 2(a)) and to remain effective, subject to Section 5 hereof,
until the earlier of (i) such time as all Registrable Securities covered thereby have been
sold in accordance with the intended methods of distribution of such Registrable Securities,
and (ii) the date on which no Holder holds Registrable Securities; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to cause any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to
become effective; provided, further, that if the Company has an effective Shelf Registration
Statement, Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement or Additional Shelf Registration

written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities, register any Registrable Securities
registered but not yet distributed under the effective Shelf Registration Statement,
Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement or Additional Shelf Registration Statement on such
short-form Shelf Registration Statement and, once the short-form Shelf Registration
Statement is declared effective, de-register such shares under the previous Shelf
Registration Statement, any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement or Additional Shelf
Registration Statement or transfer filing fees from the previous Shelf Registration
Statement, Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement or Additional Shelf Registration
Statement (such transfer pursuant to Rule 429, if applicable) unless the Holders holding at
least a majority of the shares registered by the Holders under the initial Shelf
Registration Statement, any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement or Additional
Registration Statement notify the Company within 10 days of receipt of the Company notice
that such a registration under a new Registration Statement and de-registration of the
initial Shelf Registration Statement, any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement or
Additional Shelf Registration Statement would materially interfere with such Holders’
distribution of Registrable Securities already in progress, in which case the Company shall
delay the effectiveness of the short-form Shelf Registration Statement and de-registration
for a period of not less than 20 days from the date that the Company receives the notice
from such Holders requesting a delay;
(b) subject to Section 4(i) hereof, (i) prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments and post-effective amendments to each such Registration Statement as may be
necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period described in Section
4(a) hereof, (ii) cause each Prospectus contained therein to be supplemented by any required
Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 and (iii)
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by each Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance
with the method or methods of distribution set forth in the “Plan of Distribution” section
of the Prospectus;
(c) furnish to the Holders, without charge, as many copies of each
Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto
and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the
public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities; the Company consents,
subject to Section 5, to the lawful use of such Prospectus, including each preliminary
12
Prospectus, by the Holders, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities covered by any such Prospectus;
(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, or obtain
exemption from registration or qualification for, all Registrable Securities by the time the
applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC under all applicable

Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement shall reasonably request in
writing, keep each such registration or qualification or exemption effective during the
period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to Section 4(a)
and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to
enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to take any action to comply with this Section 4(d) if it
would require the Company or any of its subsidiaries to (i) qualify generally to do business
in any jurisdiction or to register as a broker or dealer in such jurisdiction where it would
not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4(d) and except as may be required
by the Securities Act, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii)
submit to the general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered and approved by such
other governmental agencies or authorities in the United States, if any, as may be necessary
to enable the Holders thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any action to comply with
this Section 4(e) if it would require the Company or any of its subsidiaries to (i) qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction or to register as a broker or dealer in such
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4(e)
and except as may be required by the Securities Act, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any
such jurisdiction or (iii) submit to the general service of process in any such
jurisdiction;
(f) notify Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and each Holder with Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement promptly and, if requested by Selling
Holders’ Counsel, if any, or any such Holder, confirm such advice in writing, (i) when such
Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments thereto
become effective or upon the filing of a supplement to any Prospectus, (ii) of the issuance
by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of such Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii)
of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for
amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for
additional information and (iv) of the happening of any event during the period such
Registration Statement is effective as a result of which such Registration Statement or the
related Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or, in the case of the
Prospectus, contains any untrue statement of a material
13
fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading (which information shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (such instruction to be provided in the same
manner as a Suspension Notice) until the requisite changes have been made, at which time
notice of the end of suspension shall be delivered in the same manner as an End of
Suspension Notice);
(g) during the period of time referred to in Section 4(a) above, use
commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or if issued, to obtain the
withdrawal of, any order enjoining or suspending the use or effectiveness of a Registration
Statement or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as promptly as practicable;
(h) upon request, furnish to Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and each
requesting Holder with Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement, without
charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and any post-effective
amendment or supplement thereto (without documents incorporated therein by reference or
exhibits thereto, unless requested);
(i) except as provided in Section 5, upon the occurrence of any event
contemplated by Section 4(f)(iv) hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly
prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or the related
Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required
document so that such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or document incorporated
therein by reference will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading or, in the case of the Prospectus, will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading;
(j) if requested by the representative of the underwriters, if any, or any
Holder of Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an Underwritten Offering, (i)
as promptly as practicable incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such material information as the representative of the underwriters, if any, or
such Holder indicates in writing relates to them and (ii) use its commercially reasonable
efforts to make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective
amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received written notification of the
matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;
(k) enter into customary agreements (including in the case of an Underwritten
Offering, an underwriting agreement in customary form and reasonably satisfactory to the
Company) and take all other reasonable action in connection therewith in order to expedite
or facilitate the distribution of the Registrable Securities included in such
14
Registration Statement and, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, make
representations and warranties to the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement and to the underwriters in such form and scope as are customarily
made by issuers to selling stockholders and underwriters in underwritten offerings,
respectively, and confirm the same to the extent customary if and when requested;
(l) use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available for inspection
by one representative selected by the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable
Securities included in any Registration Statement and, with respect to an Underwritten
Offering, the representative underwriters participating in any disposition pursuant to a
Registration Statement and any one law firm retained by each of the Holders and the
underwriters, respectively, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and
cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company and/or Tortoise
Capital Advisors to supply all information reasonably requested by such parties in
connection with a Registration Statement and the due diligence review of the Registration
Statement and the information contained or incorporated therein; provided, however, that
such records, documents or information that the Company determines, in good faith, to be
confidential and notifies the foregoing parties of such confidential nature shall not be
disclosed by the foregoing parties unless (i) the disclosure of such records, documents or
information is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission in a
Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) the release of such records, documents or
information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent
jurisdiction, or (iii) such records, documents or information have been generally made

the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the
Holders and the other parties entitled thereto by one law firm designated by and on behalf
of the Holders and the other parties;
(m) use its commercially reasonable efforts (including, without limitation,
seeking to cure in the Company’s listing or inclusion application any deficiencies cited by
the exchange or market) to list or include all Registrable Securities on the New York Stock
Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market;
(n) use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file in a timely
manner all documents and reports required by the Exchange Act and, to the extent the
Company’s obligation to file such reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
expires prior to the expiration of the effectiveness period of the Registration Statement as
required by Section 4(a) hereof, the Company shall register the Registrable Securities under
the Exchange Act and shall maintain such registration through the effectiveness period
required by Section 4(a) hereof;

stockholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, earnings statements covering at least
12 months that satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158
(or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act), no later than 90 days after the
end of each fiscal year of the Company and (iii) delay the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement or Prospectus or not file any amendment or supplement to such Registration
Statement or Prospectus to which Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, or any Holder of
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall have, based upon the
written opinion of counsel, objected on the grounds that such Registration Statement or
Prospectus or amendment or supplement does not comply in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act, provided that the Company may file and request
effectiveness of such Registration Statement following such time as the Company shall have
used its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such issue with Selling Holder’s
Counsel, if any, or such objecting Holder and shall have advised Selling Holder’s Counsel,
if any, or such Holder in writing of its reasonable belief that such filing complies with
the requirements of the Securities Act;
(q) provide and cause to be maintained a registrar and transfer agent for all
Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement from and after a date not later
than the effective date of such Registration Statement;
(r) in connection with any sale or transfer of the Registrable Securities
(whether or not pursuant to a Registration Statement) that will result in the securities
being delivered no longer being Registrable Securities, cooperate with the Holders and the
managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates shall
not bear any transfer restrictive legends (other than as required by the Company’s charter)
and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such
names as the managing underwriter(s), if any, or the Holders may reasonably request at least
three Business Days prior to any sale of the Registrable Securities;
(s) upon effectiveness of the first Registration Statement filed by the
Company, take such actions and make such filings as are necessary to effect the registration
of the Common Shares under the Exchange Act simultaneously with or as soon as practicable
following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to the extent such registration
has not already taken place;
(t) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, use its best efforts to furnish
or cause to be furnished to the underwriters a signed counterpart, addressed to the
underwriters, of: (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the date of each closing
under the underwriting agreement, in customary form and reasonably satisfactory to the
underwriters (an “Opinion”); and (ii) a “cold comfort” letter, dated the effective date of
the Registration Statement and the date of each closing under the underwriting agreement,
signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial
statements included in such Registration Statement (and the Prospectus included therein) and
with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are
customarily covered in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public
offerings of securities and such other financial
16
matters as the underwriters may reasonably request and are customarily obtained by
underwriters in underwritten public offerings (a “Comfort Letter”);
(u) at a reasonable time prior to the filing of any Prospectus, any amendment
or supplement to a Prospectus or any document which is to be incorporated by reference into
a Registration Statement or a Prospectus after initial filing of a Registration Statement,
provide copies of such document to Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and make
representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by Selling Holders’ Counsel,
if any, available for discussion of such document; and
(v) in connection with the initial filing of a Registration Statement and
each amendment thereto with the SEC, prepare and timely file with the NASD all forms and
information required or requested by the NASD.
The Company may require the Holders to furnish to the Company such information regarding the
proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to
time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required to effect the registration of the
Registrable Securities and no Holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling stockholder in any
Registration Statement and no Holder shall be entitled to use the Prospectus forming a part thereof
if such Holder does not provide such information to the Company. Any Holder that sells Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement shall be required to be named as a selling
stockholder in the related Prospectus and to deliver or cause to be delivered a Prospectus to
purchasers. Each Holder further agrees to furnish promptly to the Company in writing all
information required from time to time to make the information previously furnished by such Holder
not misleading.
Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event
of the kind described in Section 4(f)(ii), 4(f)(iii) or 4(f)(iv) hereof, such Holder will
immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement
until such Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus. If so directed by
the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the reasonable expense of the Company) all
copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the
Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
5. Black-Out Period.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, the Company shall have the
right, but not the obligation, from time to time, to suspend the use of a Registration
Statement following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (and the filings with
any international, federal or state securities commissions), if a Suspension Event (as
defined herein) occurs. If the Company elects to suspend the effectiveness and/or use of a
Registration Statement following the occurrence of a Suspension Event, the Company, by
written notice to Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and the Holders (a “Suspension Notice”),
shall notify such parties in writing that the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
has been suspended and shall direct the Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until the Suspension Event
17
has ended. A “Suspension Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) the managing
underwriter(s) of an Underwritten Offering has advised the Company that the offer or sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement would have a material adverse
effect on the Company’s Underwritten Offering; (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company in
good faith has determined that the offer or sale of any Registrable Securities would
materially impede, delay or interfere with any proposed financing, offer or sale of
securities, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other significant transaction involving
the Company; or (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith,
that it is required by law, or that it is in the best interests of the Company, to
supplement the Registration Statement or file a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement in order to ensure that the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement (1)
contains the information required under Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (2)
discloses any fundamental change in the information included in the Prospectus; or (3)
discloses any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not disclosed in
the Registration Statement or any material change to such information. Upon the occurrence
of any Suspension Event, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration
Statement to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement
or to take such action as is necessary to make resumed use of the Registration Statement
compatible with the Company’s best interests, as applicable, so as to permit the Holders to
resume sales of the Registrable Securities as soon as practicable. In no event shall the
Company be permitted to suspend the use of a Registration Statement in any 12-month period
for more than 30 consecutive days or for more than an aggregate of 60 days, except as a
result of a refusal by the SEC to declare any post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement effective after the Company has used its best efforts to cause such post-effective
amendment to be declared effective, in which case the Company shall terminate the suspension
of the use of the Registration Statement immediately following the effective date of the
post-effective amendment.
(b) If the Company gives a Suspension Notice to Selling Holders’ Counsel, if
any, and the Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities following a Suspension
Event, the Holders shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension
Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined
herein). If so directed by the Company in writing, each Holder will deliver to the Company
(at the expense of the Company) all copies other than permanent file copies then in such
Holder’s possession of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities at the time of
receipt of the Suspension Notice. The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (or such filings) upon
delivery by the Company of a notice in writing that the Suspension Event or its potential
effects are no longer continuing (an “End of Suspension Notice”), which End of Suspension
Notice shall be given by the Company to Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and the Holders in
the same manner as the Suspension Notice promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension
Event and its effect.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company
shall give a Suspension Notice with respect to any Registration Statement pursuant to this
18
Section 5, the Company agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which such
Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by one times
the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the Holders of the
Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of
Suspension Notice and provide copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to
resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; and, if applicable, the period for
which the shares of Common Shares covered by such Registration Statement remain Registrable
Securities shall be commensurately extended.
6. Indemnification, Contribution.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each
Person who participates as an underwriter (any such Person being an “Underwriter”) and each
Person, if any, who controls any Holder or Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) pursuant to which Registrable Securities were
registered under the 1933 Act, including all documents incorporated therein by
reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Free
Writing Prospectus or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, or arising out of any material
misstatement or omission in the information conveyed to an investor at the time it
made its investment decision;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of
any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue
statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided
that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the
written consent of the Company; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including
the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by any indemnified party), reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or
omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any
such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;
19
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission
or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by the Holder or Underwriter expressly for use in a
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) or any Free Writing Prospectus.
(b) Each Holder severally, but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each Underwriter and the other selling Holders, and each of their
respective directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, any
Underwriter or any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
described in the indemnity contained in Section 6(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with
respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made
in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus included therein
(or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information with respect to such Holder furnished to the Company
by such Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto)
or such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Free Writing Prospectus;
provided, however, that no such Holder shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of
the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably
practicable to each indemnifying party of any action or proceeding commenced against it in
respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure so to notify an indemnifying
party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent
it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement.
An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of such action;
provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent
of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the
indemnifying party or parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel
(in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified
parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the
same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties,
settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation,
or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution
could be sought under this Section 6 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or
potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an
unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such
litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to
or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified
party.
20
(d) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying
party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying
party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by
Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into
more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii)
such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least
30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall
not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date
of such settlement.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is for any reason
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any
losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying
party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages
and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on
the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.
The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the other hand shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company, the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this
Section 6. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an
indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 6 shall be deemed to include any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or
defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission.
No Person: (i) guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation; or (ii) shall be entitled to indemnification or contribution from the
Company under this Section 6 for conduct of the type described in Section 17(i) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940.
For purposes of this Section 6, each Person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning
of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as such Holder, and each director of the Company, and each Person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
21
7. Market Stand-Off Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Subscription Agreements, each Holder agrees that it
shall not, to the extent requested by the Company or an underwriter of the Company’s Common Shares,
without the prior written consent of the Company and such underwriter(s), directly or indirectly,
(i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any
option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise
dispose of or transfer any shares of the Company’s Common Shares or any securities convertible into
or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares (including the Warrants), whether now owned or
hereafter acquired by the undersigned (excluding Common Shares acquired in the IPO or acquired in
the open market following the IPO) or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter
acquires the power of disposition, or file, or cause to be filed, any registration statement under
the Securities Act, with respect to any of the foregoing or (ii) enter into any swap or any other
agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the
economic consequence of ownership of Common Shares, whether any such swap or transaction is to be
settled by delivery of Common Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise sell (other than in
any such case to bona fide donees of the purchaser, in each case, who agree to be similarly bound
by completing and executing a copy of the Investment Representation, Transfer and Market Stand-Off
Agreement and furnishing it to the Company) within the ninety (90) days following the effective
date of a Registration Statement for an Underwritten Offering. The provisions of this Section 7
shall remain in full force and effect for all Holders of the Common Shares until such time as a
Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities.
8. Termination of the Company’s Obligations.
The Company shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Agreement at such time as no
Registrable Securities are outstanding; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations under
Sections 3, 6 and 10(a) through and including 10(n) of this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect following such time.
9. Underwritten Offerings.
(a) If any of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration
Statement or any Additional Shelf Registration Statement are to be offered and sold in an
Underwritten Offering, the investment bank or investment banks and manager or managers that
will administer the offering shall be selected by the Holders of a majority of such
Registrable Securities to be included in such offering.
(b) No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Offering proposed under the
Shelf Registration Statement or any Additional Shelf Registration Statement unless such
Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis reasonably
provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to
approve such arrangements 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.
22
10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by the
Company to comply with its obligations under this Agreement may result in material
irreparable injury to the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will
not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any
such failure, any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce
the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. The Company further agrees to waive the
defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) No Conflicting Agreements. The Company is not, as of the date hereof, a
party to, nor shall it, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into, any agreement
with respect to the Company’s securities that conflicts with the rights granted to the
Holders in this Agreement. The Company represents and warrants that the rights granted to
the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with the rights granted to the holders of
the Company’s securities under any other agreements. The Company will not take any action
with respect to the Registrable Securities which would adversely affect the ability of any
of the Holders to include such Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant
to this Agreement.
(c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or
consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, without the written
consent of the Company and Holders of a majority of outstanding Registrable Securities;
provided, however, that, no consent is necessary from any of the Holders in the event that
this Agreement is amended, modified or supplemented for the purpose of curing any ambiguity,
defect or inconsistency that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with
respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder of Registrable
Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that
does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders of Registrable Securities
may be given by such Holder; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not
be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the
immediately preceding sentence. Each Holder of Registrable Securities outstanding at the
time of any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent or thereafter shall
be bound by any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent effected
pursuant to this Section 10(c), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating
such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent appears on the Registrable
Securities or is delivered to such Holder.
(d) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted
hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, by telecopier, by courier guaranteeing
overnight delivery or by first-class mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed
given (A) when made, if made by hand delivery, (B) upon confirmation, if made by telecopier,
