(b) Form S-3 Demand. If at any time when it is eligible to use Form S-3, the Company receives a request from either (i) the ECP Holders, (ii) the GSO Holders, (iii) the Quantum Holders or (iv) other Holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of the Other Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Registration Statement, including a shelf registration statement, and if the Company is a WKSI, an automatic shelf registration statement, on Form S-3 with respect to outstanding Registrable Securities of such Holders, then the Company shall (1) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (2) as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within ten (10) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Subsections 2.1(c) and 2.3.

(c) At any time, and from time-to-time, during the period during which a shelf registration statement is effective (the “Shelf Registration Effectiveness Period”) (except during a Demand Suspension, as defined below), any of (i) the ECP Holders, (ii) the GSO Holders, (iii) the Quantum Holders or (iv) other Holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of the Other Registrable Securities then outstanding may notify the Company in writing (the “Takedown Request”) of their intent to sell Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement (in whole or in part) in an offering (a “Shelf

Offering”). Such Takedown Request shall specify the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Shelf Offering. Within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of such Takedown Request, the Company shall deliver a written notice (a “Takedown Notice”) to each other Holder informing each such other Holder of its right to include Registrable Securities in such Shelf Offering. As soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of a Takedown Notice (and no later than two (2) Business Days after the receipt of such Demand Notice in the case of a “bought deal,” a “registered direct offering” or an “overnight transaction” where no preliminary prospectus is used), each such other Holder shall have the right to request in writing that the Company include all or a specific portion of the Registrable Securities held by such other Holder in such Shelf Offering and the Company shall include such Registrable Securities in such Shelf Offering.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders requesting a Registration Statement or Takedown Request pursuant to this Subsection 2.1 a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Registration Statement, including any shelf registration statement, to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such Registration Statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, or for the prospectus supplement, related the Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to the Takedown Request, to be filed because such action would: (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure; (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act; or (iv) in the good faith judgment of the underwriters of such registration, otherwise be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Registration Statement or prospectus supplement to be filed (a “Demand Suspension”), then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing, and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than sixty (60) days (or thirty (30) days in the case of clause (iv) after the request of the Initiating Holders is given; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than twice in any twelve (12) month period, and at least thirty (30) days must elapse between each Demand Suspension. If a Demand Suspension is made because the Registration Statement or Takedown Request would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, such Demand Suspension shall terminate at such time as the public disclosure of such information is made. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders upon the termination of any Demand Suspension, without any further request from a Holder.

(e) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a): (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and may only exercise this right once in any twelve (12) month period; (ii) (A) in the case of the ECP Holders, after the Company has effected three (3) registrations requested by the ECP Holders pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a) (excluding the IPO), (B) in the case of the GSO Holders, after the Company has effected two (2) registrations requested by the GSO Holders pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a) (excluding the IPO), (C) in the case of the Quantum Holders, after the Company has effected two (2) registrations requested by the Quantum Holders pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a) (excluding the IPO) and (D) in the case of the other Holders, after the Company has effected two (2) registrations effected by such other Holders pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a) (excluding the IPO) or (iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares or units (as applicable) of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration or offering pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b) or Subsection 2.1(c), respectively, during the period that is thirty (30) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of

the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration or Company Offering, provided that, in the case of Section 2.1(b), the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, or, in the case of Section 2.1(c), the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Company Offering to take place, and, in any case, the Company may only exercise this right once in any twelve (12) month period. A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Subsection 2.1(e) until such time as the applicable Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC and, in the case of a registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a), remains effective for not less than (180) days (or such shorter period as shall terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or withdrawn), or if such Registration Statement relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period as, in the opinion of counsel for the underwriter or underwriters, a Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer (the “Demand Period”). No registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a) shall be deemed to have been effected if (i) during the Demand Period such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court or (ii) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied other than by reason of a wrongful act, misrepresentation or breach of such applicable underwriting agreement by the Initiating Holders.

(f) Any Holders that have requested its Registrable Securities be included in any registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a) may withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities from such registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement or in the case of an underwritten public offering, prior to the Registration Statement’s latest effective date with regard to the registration (as determined for purposes of Rule 430B(f)(2) under the Securities Act). The Company shall continue all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement in respect of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder that has requested inclusion in the Demand Registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a) so long as Initiating Holders have requested and not withdrawn all of their Registrable Securities to be included in such registration; provided, however, if the Initiating Holders have requested for all of their Registrable Securities to be withdrawn from such registration, the Company shall immediately cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement, even if one or more other Holders have requested for Registrable Securities to be included in such applicable Registration Statement pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a) and such withdrawn registration shall not count towards the limitation on registrations set forth in Subsection 2.1(e) so long as the applicable Registration Statement has not been filed or submitted to the SEC.

(g) In the event any Holder requests to participate in a registration pursuant to this Subsection 2.1 in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or members, the registration shall provide for resale by such partners or members, if requested by the Holder.

(h) For purposes of this Section 2.1, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 for secondary sales and, during such time as the Company is so qualified, shall effect any registration of secondary sales on Form S-3 after such qualification.

2.2 Company Offering.

(a) If the Company proposes to offer (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for its shareholders other than the Holders) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (including an “at-the market offering,” a “bought deal” or a “registered direct offering”) solely for cash (other than in an Excluded

Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder notice of such offering (a “Company Offering”). Such notice shall specify, as applicable, the amount of Common Stock to be registered, the proposed filing date of the registration statement or applicable prospectus supplement and the proposed minimum offering price of the Common Stock, in each case to the extent then known. In the case of an offering under a shelf registration statement previously filed or to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including where the Company qualifies as a WKSI, such notice shall be sent as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the expected date of filing of such registration statement or commencement of marketing efforts for such offering (and no later than five (5) days prior in the case of a “bought deal,” a “registered direct offering” or an “overnight transaction” where no preliminary prospectus is used). In the case of a Company Offering under a registration statement to be filed that is not a shelf registration statement, such notice shall be given sent as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the expected date of filing of such registration statement. Upon the written request of each Holder given within five (5) Business Days after such notice is given by the Company (except that each Holder shall have two (2) Business Days after the Company gives such notice to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Company Offering in the case of a “bought deal,” a “registered direct offering” or an “overnight transaction” where no preliminary prospectus is used), the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.3, as promptly as reasonably practicable cause to be registered or include in the prospectus supplement, as applicable, all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any offering initiated by it under this Subsection 2.2 before the effective date of such offering, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such offering. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn offering shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Subsection 2.6.

(b) No offering of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to a request under this Subsection 2.2 shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Subsection 2.1 or shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Subsection 2.1.

(c) Each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of its Registrable Securities in an offering under this Subsection 2.2 by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw; provided, that (i) such request must be made in writing prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or, in the case of a public offering, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the earlier of the anticipated filing of the “red ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇” Prospectus, if applicable, and the anticipated pricing or trade date and (ii) such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, the Holder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Securities in such offering as to which such withdrawal was made.

2.3 Underwriting Requirements.

(a) If, pursuant to Subsection 2.1, the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Subsection 2.1, and the Company shall include such information in the Demand Notice. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Initiating Holders and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Subsection 2.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subsection 2.3, if the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing

that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares or units (as applicable) to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting.

(b) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares or units (as applicable) of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by Holders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering, or (ii) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total number of securities included in such offering. For purposes of the provision in this Subsection 2.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

(c) For purposes of Subsection 2.1, a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in Subsection 2.3(a), fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such Registration Statement are actually included.

(d) In the case of an underwritten offering under Subsection 2.1, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms for the Registrable Securities shall be determined by the Initiating Holders and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. In addition, in the case of any underwritten offering under Subsection 2.2, each of the Holders may, subject to any limitations on withdrawal contained herein, withdraw all or part of their request to participate in the registration pursuant Subsection 2.2 after being advised of such price, discount and other terms and shall not be required to enter into any agreements or documentation that would require otherwise.

2.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) prepare and file a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, and, to keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of up to one hundred eighty (180) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed, provided, however, that (i) such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains, at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, from selling any securities included in such registration, and (ii) in the case of an automatic Registration Statement on Form S-3, where the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement effective for three years from the date of effectiveness, which period may be extended, at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, until the earlier of (i) the effective date of the new Registration Statement or (ii) 180 days after the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the prior automatic Registration Statement on Form S-3; in each case, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules.

(b) (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement, and the Prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement through the applicable periods during which the Company is obligated to maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act; and (iii) respond to any comments received from the SEC with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto;

(c) that, to the extent practicable, at least five (5) Business Days prior to filing any registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to the holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement and their counsel, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed;

(d) furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of the signed Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment thereto, a Prospectus, including a preliminary Prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, any amendments or supplements thereto, any Free Writing Prospectus, and such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities;

(e) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

(f) in the event of any underwritten public offering, (i) enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering and (ii) cooperate with the holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends other than as may be required by applicable law, by the stock transfer agent, depositary or their nominee, if applicable) representing securities to be sold under such registration, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or such holders may request;

(g) cooperate with each Holder and each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA;

(h) to the extent the Company is eligible under the relevant provisions of Rule 430B under the Securities Act, if the Company files any shelf Registration Statement, include in such shelf Registration Statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act (referring to the unnamed selling security holders in a generic manner by identifying the initial offering of the securities to the Holders) in order to ensure that the Holders may be added to such shelf Registration Statement at a later time through the filing of a Prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment;

(i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(j) (i) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration, and (ii) cooperate with any selling Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of book-entry interests representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which book-entry interests shall be free of all restrictive legends indicating that the Registrable Securities are unregistered or unqualified for resale under the Securities Act, Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request in writing.

(k) (i) promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any managing underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, (ii) cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such Registration Statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith (as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such seller or underwriter’s legal counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation with the meaning of Section 11(b)(3) of the Securities Act), and (iii) cause appropriate officers and employees to be available, on a customary basis and upon reasonable notice, to meet with prospective investors in presentations, meetings and road shows.

(l) notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such Registration Statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any Prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement has been filed;

(m) after such Registration Statement becomes effective, promptly notify each selling Holder of any (i) request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus or (ii) stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement, issued or threatened in writing by the SEC in connection therewith, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it or obtain withdrawal of it as soon as practicable if entered;

(n) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain:

(i) at the time of pricing of any underwritten offering (including an “at-the-market offering,” a “bought deal” or a “registered direct offering”) a “cold comfort letter” from the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort letters” as the Holders and the underwriters reasonably request; and

(ii) at the time of any sale in an underwritten offering pursuant to the registration statement, a “bring-down comfort letter,” dated as of the date of such sale, from the Company’s independent registered public accountants covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “bring-down comfort letters” as the Holders and the underwriters reasonably request;

(o) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the time of effectiveness of each registration or, in the case of a shelf registration, at the time of pricing, and at the time of any sale pursuant to each registration, an opinion or opinions addressed to the holders of the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, in customary form and scope from legal counsel for the Company (who may be its internal legal counsel);

(p) promptly notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration, upon discovery by an executive officer of the Company that the prospectus included in such registration, as then in effect, includes an 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, and promptly thereafter prepare and file with the SEC and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers or prospective purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they are made; and

(q) enter into such agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take such other actions as the Holders shall reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including customary holdback / lock-up provisions.

In addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any Registration Statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ policy shall provide that the directors of the Company may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

2.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

2.6 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees (including fees and expenses (a) with respect to filings required to be made with the trading market and (b) in compliance with applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws); printers’ and accounting fees; all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses relating to marketing the sale of the Registrable Securities, including expenses related to conducting a “road show”; fees and disbursements of counsel, auditors and accountants for the Company; and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders (“Selling Holder Counsel”), shall be borne and paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Subsection 2.1 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Initiating Holder(s) (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless the Initiating Holder(s) agree to forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a); provided further, that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness after learning of such information then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a). All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.

2.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

2.8 Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Section 2:

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of each such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, each Person (if any) who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in such Registration Statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in

conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such selling Holder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under Subsections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Subsection 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Subsection 2.8, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Subsection 2.8, to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Subsection 2.8.

(d) To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Subsection 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Subsection 2.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Subsection 2.8, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such Registration Statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided, further, that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Subsection 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Subsection 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(f) Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Subsection 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

2.9 Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company shall:

(a) make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the Registration Statement filed by the Company for the IPO;

(b) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

(c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the Registration Statement filed by the Company for the IPO), the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies); and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).

2.10 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would (a) allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any registration unless, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the number of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included; or (b) allow such holder or prospective holder to initiate a demand for registration of any securities held by such holder or prospective holder.

2.11 “Market Stand-off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final Prospectus relating to the registration by the Company for its own behalf of shares or units (as applicable) of its Common Stock or any other equity securities under the Securities Act on a Registration Statement on Form S-1, or Form S-3, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of the IPO), (a) lend; 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 to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares or units (as applicable) of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock held immediately before the effective date of the Registration Statement for such offering or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Subsection 2.11 shall apply only to the IPO, shall not apply to the sale of any shares or units (as applicable) to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, or the transfer of any shares or units (as applicable) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or the immediate family of the Holder, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided, further, that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, and shall be applicable to the Holders only if all officers and directors are subject to the same restrictions and the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a similar agreement from all Holders individually owning more than one percent (1%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to the conversion into Common Stock of any other outstanding securities of the Company). The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Subsection 2.11 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Subsection 2.11 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to all Holders subject to such agreements, based on the number of shares or units (as applicable) subject to such agreements.

2.12 Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing (i) the Common Stock, (ii) the Registrable Securities, and (iii) any other securities issued in respect of the securities referenced in clauses (i) and (ii), upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Subsection 2.12(b)) be notated with a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES OR UNITS (AS APPLICABLE) MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE SHAREHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

The Holders consent to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Subsection 2.12.

(b) The holder of such Restricted Securities, by acceptance of ownership thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2. Before any proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a Registration Statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction, the Holder thereof shall give notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied at such Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Holder to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter (x) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144; or (y) in any transaction in which such Holder distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate of such Holder for no consideration; provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Subsection 2.12. Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall be notated with, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Subsection 2.12(a), except that such certificate instrument, or book entry shall not be notated with such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

2.13 Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Subsections 2.1 or 2.2 shall terminate at such time as SEC Rule 144(b)(1) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision) is available for the sale of all of such Holder’s shares without any need to comply with the public information requirements of SEC Rule 144(b)(1) (or any successor provision) or any such shares are sold pursuant to SEC Rule 144.

3. Miscellaneous.

3.1 Successors and Assigns. The rights under this Agreement may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee of Registrable Securities that (a) is an Affiliate of a Holder; (b) is a Holder’s Immediate Family Member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or one or more of such Holder’s Immediate Family Members; or (c) after such transfer, holds at least one percent (1%) of the Company’s then outstanding Registrable Securities; provided, however, that (i) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee and the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred; and (ii) such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to the Company to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the

provisions of Subsection 2.11. For the purposes of determining the number of shares or units (as applicable) of Registrable Securities held by a transferee, the holdings of a transferee (1) that is an Affiliate, member or stockholder of a Holder; (2) who is a Holder’s Immediate Family Member; or (3) that is a trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or such Holder’s Immediate Family Member shall be aggregated together and with those of the transferring Holder; provided, further, that all transferees who would not qualify individually for assignment of rights shall have a single attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices, or taking any action under this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement inure to the benefit of and are binding upon the respective successors and permitted assignees of the parties.

The Company shall give prompt notice of any amendment or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination, or waiver. Any amendment, termination, or waiver effected in accordance with this Subsection 3.5 shall be binding on all parties hereto, regardless of whether any such party has consented thereto.

This Agreement hereby amends, restates and supersedes the Original Registration Rights Agreement in all respects.

3.10 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such nonbreaching or nondefaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any such breach or default, or to any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. All remedies, whether under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
