Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Agreement will become effective upon the Effective Time, as defined in the Merger Agreement, and the effectiveness of this Agreement shall be contingent upon the Closing, as defined in the Merger Agreement.

VOTING AGREEMENT.

2.1 Board Nomination Rights.

2.1.1 Board Size. As of the Effective Time, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) shall consist of seven Directors. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Board is comprised of Gordon DuGan, David Weinstein, Alan Carr and Mandy Lam (each, an “Existing Director”, and collectively, the “Existing Directors”). Except for a change in the size of the Board in accordance with Section 2.1.4 hereof, the Company, the Board, Pangea and each Stockholder agrees to take all Necessary Action, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that the size of the Board shall be set and remain at seven directors. In furtherance of the foregoing, as of the Effective Time pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated charter filed in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Articles of Incorporation”), the following individuals shall be the members of the Board: Gordon DuGan, Alan Carr, Mandy Lam, David Weinstein, Peter Martay, Anthony Coniglio and Peter Kadens, or such other Persons designated prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the Merger Agreement (it being acknowledged and agreed that neither David Weinstein nor Anthony Coniglio may be replaced prior to the Effective Time if, at the Effective Time, they continue to be ready, willing and able to serve in such capacity).

2.1.2 Designation of Nominees.

(a) Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Section 2.1 and Applicable Law, in respect of any Director Election Meeting, the Company, Pangea and each Stockholder shall take all Necessary Action to nominate a number of Directors in accordance with the following:

(i) prior to the Public Date, for so long as HG Vora Beneficially Owns at least 10% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, HG Vora shall be entitled to designate three Nominees; provided, however, that (A) if HG Vora ceases to Beneficially Own at least 10% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock for sixty consecutive days, but Beneficially Owns at least 7.5% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, HG Vora shall be entitled to designate two Nominees; (B) if HG Vora ceases to Beneficially Own at least 7.5% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock for sixty consecutive days, but Beneficially Owns at least 5% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, HG Vora shall be entitled to designate one Nominee; and (C) if

 

2


HG Vora Beneficially Owns less than 5% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock for sixty consecutive days, HG Vora shall not be entitled to designate any Nominees; provided, further, that at all times that HG Vora continues to have the right to designate a nominee pursuant to this Section 2.1.2(a)(i), no more than one HG Vora Nominated Director may be an individual who does not qualify as an Independent Nominee with respect to HG Vora;

(ii) upon and after the Public Date, for so long as HG Vora Beneficially Owns at least 9% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, HG Vora shall be entitled to designate two Nominees; provided, however, that (A) if HG Vora ceases to Beneficially Own at least 9% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock for sixty consecutive days, but Beneficially Owns at least 5% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, HG Vora shall be entitled to designate one Nominee; and (B) if HG Vora Beneficially Owns less than 5% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock for sixty consecutive days, HG Vora shall not be entitled to designate any Nominees; provided, further, that at all times that HG Vora continues to have the right to designate a nominee pursuant to this Section 2.1.2(a)(ii), no more than one HG Vora Nominated Director may be an individual who does not qualify as an Independent Nominee with respect to HG Vora; and

(iii) prior to the Public Date, for so long as HG Vora has the right to designate any Nominee pursuant to Section 2.1.2(a)(i), HG Vora shall also be entitled to designate David Weinstein as a Nominee (in addition to those Nominees designated by HG Vora pursuant to Section 2.1.2(a)(i)) for so long as he continues to serve as an officer of the Company.

For each Director nomination that HG Vora loses due to its ownership percentage falling below the required threshold in accordance with this Section 2.1.2(a), a majority of the then-serving members of the Board shall nominate one Nominee to fill the resulting vacancy unless the Board reduces the size of the Board to eliminate such vacancy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any then-serving Director nominated by HG Vora who no longer has the right to be nominated by HG Vora due to HG Vora’s ownership percentage dropping below an applicable ownership threshold hereunder, such Director shall nonetheless have the right to serve (subject to Section 2.1.5 of this Agreement) until the next Director Election Meeting.

(b) Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Section 2.1 and Applicable Law, in respect of any Director Election Meeting, the Company, Pangea and each Stockholder shall take all Necessary Action to nominate a number of Directors in accordance with the following:

(i) prior to the Public Date, for so long as NL Holdco Beneficially Owns at least 25% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, NL Holdco shall be entitled to designate three Nominees; provided, however, that (A) if NL Holdco ceases to Beneficially Own at least 25% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock for sixty consecutive days, but Beneficially Owns at least 19% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock for such period, NL Holdco shall be entitled to

 

3


designate two Nominees; (B) if NL Holdco ceases to Beneficially Own at least 19% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock for sixty consecutive days, but Beneficially Owns at least 13% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, NL Holdco shall be entitled to designate one Nominee; and (C) if NL Holdco Beneficially Owns less than 13% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock for sixty consecutive days, NL Holdco shall not be entitled to designate any Nominees; provided, further, that at all times that NL Holdco continues to have the right to designate a nominee pursuant to this Section 2.1.2(b)(i), no more than one NL Holdco Nominated Director may be an individual who does not qualify as an Independent Nominee with respect to any West Stockholder; provided, further, that if prior to the Public Date NL Holdco does not meet any of the required thresholds in clauses (A), (B) or (C) because NL Holdco has distributed its shares of Common Stock to its members, then (x) for so long as the West Stockholders Beneficially Own at least 5% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, the West Stockholders shall be entitled to designate one Nominee and (y) for so long as Pangea Beneficially Owns at least 4% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, Pangea shall be entitled to designate one Nominee;

(ii) upon and after the Public Date, for so long as the West Stockholders Beneficially Own at least 5% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, the West Stockholders shall be entitled to designate one Nominee; provided, however, that if the West Stockholders cease to Beneficially Own at least 5% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock for sixty consecutive days, the West Stockholders shall not be entitled to designate any Nominee;

(iv) prior to the Public Date, (A) for so long as NL Holdco has the right to designate any Nominee pursuant to Section 2.1.2(b)(i), one such Nominee shall be Anthony Coniglio for so long as he continues to serve as an officer of the Company, and (B) if the West Stockholders have the right to designate a Nominee pursuant to Section 2.1.2(b)(i)(x), then for so long as the West Stockholders Beneficially Own at least 7.5% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, the West Stockholders shall also nominate Anthony Coniglio for so long as he continues to serve as an officer of the Company.

For each Director nomination that NL Holdco, the West Stockholders or Pangea loses, as applicable, due to NL Holdco’s, the West Stockholders’ or Pangea’s ownership percentage falling below the required threshold in accordance with this Section 2.1.2(b), a majority of the then-serving members of the Board shall nominate one Nominee to fill the resulting vacancy unless the Board reduces the size of the Board to eliminate such vacancy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any then-serving Director nominated by NL Holdco, the West Stockholders or Pangea, as applicable, who no longer has the right to be nominated by NL Holdco, the West Stockholders or Pangea, as applicable, due to NL Holdco’s, the West Stockholders’ or Pangea’s respective ownership percentage dropping below an applicable ownership threshold hereunder, such Director shall nonetheless have the right to serve (subject to Section 2.1.5 of this Agreement) until the next Director Election Meeting.

2.1.3 Nomination and Election Procedures.

(a) The Company shall notify HG Vora, NL Holdco, the West Stockholders and Pangea, as applicable, of its intent to hold a Director Election Meeting at least seventy-five calendar days prior to the date of such Director Election Meeting; provided, that a public notice may satisfy the requirements of this Section 2.1.3(a).

If, at any time prior to the Director Election Meeting, any HG Vora Nominated Director, NL Holdco Nominated Director, West Nominated Director or Pangea Nominated Director, as applicable, is unable or unwilling to serve as a Director, then HG Vora, NL Holdco, the West Stockholders or Pangea, as applicable, will be entitled to designate a replacement Nominee in accordance with the terms of Section 2.1.2 within such timeframe.

(c) The Company, Pangea and each Stockholder shall take all Necessary Action which may be necessary or appropriate to recognize, enforce and comply with the rights of HG Vora, NL Holdco, the West Stockholders and Pangea under this Section 2.1.

2.1.4 No Expansion or Reduction. Any change in the number of Directors comprising the Board shall require the affirmative consent of a majority of the Directors then-serving on the Board; provided, that: (a) there shall not be any decrease in the number of Directors that would prevent HG Vora, NL Holdco, the West Stockholders or Pangea, as applicable, from nominating any Nominee to which it is entitled to nominate pursuant to Section 2.1.2; and (b) such majority must include at least (y) one HG Vora Nominated Director and (z) one NL Holdco Nominated Director or, if after the Public Date, one West Nominated Director or one Pangea Nominated Director, who, in each case of clause (y) and clause (z), is not an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

2.1.5 Removal; Replacement Appointment.

(a) At any time following the date of this Agreement, HG Vora, NL Holdco, the West Stockholders or Pangea, as applicable, may deliver, in its sole discretion, a written request to the Company (a “Removal Request”) to remove an HG Vora Nominated Director, an NL Holdco Nominated Director, a West Nominated Director or a Pangea Nominated Director for which it has the right to nominate such Nominee’s

 

5


replacement pursuant to Section 2.1.2. Upon receipt of a Removal Request, the Company, each Stockholder and Pangea shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, take all Necessary Action to remove the Director identified in such Removal Request and to cause such proposed replacement Director (if any) to be elected to the Board.

(b) If any Director designated pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1.2 resigns, is removed, or is unable to serve for any reason prior to the expiration of his or her term as a Director, then a replacement Director may be designated pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1.2, and the Company, each Stockholder and Pangea shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, take all Necessary Action to cause such replacement Director (if any) to be elected to the Board.

2.1.6 Cessation; Resignation. Each of HG Vora, NL Holdco, the West Stockholders and Pangea shall cease to have any rights or obligations under this Section 2.1 immediately upon ceasing to have the right to designate any Nominee pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.2.

3. FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND REPORTING.

3.1 The Company will maintain true books and records of account in which full and correct entries will be made of all its business transactions pursuant to a system of accounting established and administered in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (except as noted therein or as disclosed to the recipients thereof), and will set aside on its books all such proper accruals and reserves as shall be required under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

3.2 Prior to the effectiveness of a registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act (including without limitation an IPO) or the Exchange Act (or in either case the equivalent under Canadian law) (collectively, a “Registration Event”), as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter, the Company will furnish to HG Vora, NL Holdco and the West Stockholders a balance sheet of the Company, as at the end of such fiscal year, and a statement of income and a statement of cash

 

7


flows of the Company, for such year, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (except as noted therein or as disclosed to the recipients thereof) and setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail. Such financial statements shall be accompanied by a report and opinion thereon by independent public accountants selected by the Board.

3.3 Prior to a Registration Event, the Company will furnish to HG Vora, NL Holdco and the West Stockholders, as soon as practicable after the end of the first, second and third quarterly accounting periods in each fiscal year of the Company, and in any event within forty-five (45) days thereafter, a balance sheet of the Company as of the end of each such quarterly period, and a statement of income and a statement of cash flows of the Company for such period and for the current fiscal year to date, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (except as noted therein or as disclosed to the recipients thereof), with the exception that no notes need be attached to such statements and year-end audit adjustments may not have been made.

3.4 Prior to a Registration Event, the Company will furnish to HG Vora, NL Holdco and the West Stockholders an annual budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

3.5 Prior to a Registration Event, HG Vora, NL Holdco and the West Stockholders shall be entitled to receive all information provided by the Company or its subsidiaries to the Board at the same time and in the same form as such information is provided to the Board.

3.6 Prior to a Registration Event, HG Vora, NL Holdco and the West Stockholders shall have the right to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company or any of its subsidiaries with its officers, and to review such information as is reasonably requested all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated under this Section 3.6 with respect to information which the Board determines is confidential or privileged and should not, therefore, be disclosed.

3.7 Prior to a Registration Event, the Company shall furnish to the West Stockholders, as soon as is practicable, a summary of material terms of (a) all side letters and (b) other agreements, in each case, relating to the Company’s qualification as a domestically controlled qualified investment entity within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in each case, that are entered into between the Company and any other current or expected holder of Common Stock.

4. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

4.1 Piggyback Registration.

4.1.1 Participation. If the Company at any time following its IPO, at a time when any Registrable Shares (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) of the Stockholders are not then registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), proposes to file a Registration Statement with respect to any offering of its equity securities for its own account or for the account of any Stockholder (the “Registering Stockholder”) under the Securities Act or to otherwise

 

8


conduct a Public Offering with respect to any offering of its equity securities for its own account or for the account of any other Person (other than (i) a Registration on Form S-4, Form F-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form to such forms or (ii) a Registration of securities solely relating to an offering and sale to employees or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to any Company stock plan or other Company benefit plan arrangement or (iii) a registration in which the only equity securities being registered are equity securities issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered), then, as soon as practicable (but in no event less than five (5) business days prior to the proposed date of filing of the Registration Statement in respect of such offering or, in the case of a Public Offering under a Shelf Registration Statement, the anticipated pricing or trade date), the Company shall give written notice (a “Piggyback Notice”) of such proposed filing or Public Offering to all Stockholders, and such Piggyback Notice shall offer the Stockholders the opportunity to register under any such Registration Statement, or to include in such Public Offering, such number of Registrable Shares as each such Stockholder may request in writing (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 4.1.2, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include in such Registration Statement or in such Public Offering, as applicable, all such Registrable Shares that are requested to be included therein within five (5) days after the receipt by such Stockholder of any such notice; provided, however, that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register or sell any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration or the pricing or trade date of a Public Offering under a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company determines for any reason not to register or sell or to delay the Registration or sale of such securities, the Company shall give written notice of such determination to each Stockholder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register or sell, shall be relieved of its obligation to register or sell any Registrable Shares in connection with such Registration or Public Offering (but not from its obligation to pay the registration expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of any Stockholders pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay Registration or sale, in the absence of a request for registration made under the Registration Rights Agreement shall be permitted to delay registering or selling any Registrable Shares, for the same period as the delay in registering or selling such other securities. Any Stockholder shall thereafter have the right to withdraw all or part of its request for inclusion of its Registrable Shares in a Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw.

4.1.2 Priority of Piggyback Registration. In connection with any Piggyback Registration, the Company shall not be required under Section 4.1.1 to include any of the participating Stockholders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If such underwriters of any proposed offering of Registrable Shares included in a Piggyback Registration informs the Company and the participating Stockholders that the number of securities that such Stockholders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without, in the sole discretion of the underwriters, being likely to have any adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, or jeopardizing in any respect the success of any

 

9


such offering, then the securities to be included in such Registration shall be (i) first, one hundred percent (100%) of the securities that the Company proposes to sell, and (ii) second, the number of Registrable Shares that, in the sole discretion of such underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect or otherwise jeopardizing the success of any such offering in any respect, with such number to be allocated among the Stockholders that have requested to participate in such Registration based on an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the number of such Registrable Shares requested to be sold by such Stockholder, and (y) a number of such shares equal to such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion, and (iii) third, and only if all of the Registrable Shares referred to in clause (ii) have been included in such Registration, any other securities eligible for inclusion in such Registration.

This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Stockholder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Stockholder and regardless of any indemnity agreed to in the underwriting agreement that is less favorable to the Stockholders. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above (with appropriate modification) with respect to the indemnification of the indemnified parties.

 

12


4.6.2 Indemnification by the Selling Stockholders. Each selling Stockholder agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its Directors and officers and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) or is deemed to control the Company, and any other selling stockholder and any of such other selling stockholders partners, directors or officers and any Person who controls such other selling Stockholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), from and against any Losses resulting from (i) any untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered or sold under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein) or (ii) any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that any such untrue statement or omission is contained in such Stockholder’s Selling Holder Information. In no event shall the liability of any selling Stockholder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds actually received by such selling Stockholder from the sale of its Registrable Shares in the offering giving rise to such indemnification obligation, less any amounts paid by such Stockholder pursuant to Section 4.6.4 and any amounts paid by such Stockholder as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such sale. Each selling Stockholders shall also indemnify the underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above (with appropriate modification) with respect to the indemnification of the indemnified parties.

4.6.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure) and (b) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be solely at the expense of such Person unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, or (iii) an actual or potential conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle such action without the consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not

 

13


include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of such indemnified party. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its prior written consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, except as specifically set forth in this Section 4.6.3, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties or (z) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based upon advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

4.6.4 Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 4.6.1 and Section 4.6.2 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to therein (other than as a result of exceptions or limitations on indemnification contained in Section 4.6.1 and Section 4.6.2), then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or misrepresentation or the omission or alleged omission to state 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, misrepresentation or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.6.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.6.4. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in Sections 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.6.4, in connection with any Registration effected pursuant to this Agreement, a selling Stockholder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds actually received by it from the sale of its Registrable Shares in the offering giving rise to such indemnification obligation, less any amounts paid by such Stockholder pursuant to Section 4.6.2 and any

 

14


amounts paid by such Stockholder as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such Registration. If indemnification is available under this Section 4.6, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Sections 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 hereof without regard to the provisions of this Section 4.6.4. The remedies provided for in this Section 4.6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

4.6.5 Priority. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 4.6.1 (a “Company Indemnitee”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by other sources. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to a Company Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of such other sources to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Company Indemnitee are secondary) and (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by a Company Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement without regard to any rights a Company Indemnitee may have against such other sources. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Company Indemnitee shall reimburse the Company for any and all amounts received by it, him or her pursuant to any directors’ and offices’ liability insurance policy maintained on its, his or her behalf by the Company, to the extent such Company Indemnitee has previously received indemnification payments hereunder for such amounts from the Company.

4.7 Rules 144 and 144A and Regulation S. The Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Stockholder, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales that would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission), and it will take such further action as any Stockholder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Stockholder to sell Registrable Shares without Registration under the Securities Act in transactions that would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement and within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Stockholder, the Company will deliver to such Stockholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

4.8 NL Holdco. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, all rights and obligations of the West Stockholders pursuant to this Section 4 shall be exercised (in the case of rights) and performed (in the case of obligations) by (a) the applicable West Stockholders, to the extent such West Stockholders own Registrable Shares directly and then only in respect of such Registrable Shares, and (b) NL Holdco, at the direction of the West Stockholders, with respect to an amount of Registrable Shares of NL Holdco equal to the product of (i) all Registrable Shares

 

15


then-held by NL Holdco and (ii) the West Stockholders’ combined ownership percentage in NL Holdco (such Registrable Shares, the “West Holdco Shares”), and then only in respect of such West Holdco Shares; provided, that notwithstanding the immediately preceding clause (b), the West Stockholders shall be liable for NL Holdco’s obligations hereunder with respect to the West Holdco Shares to the extent that NL Holdco is acting at the direction of the West Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, NL Holdco acknowledges and agrees that it shall only be considered to be a “Stockholder” under this Section 4 with respect to actions taken by NL Holdco at the direction of a West Stockholder pursuant to this Section 4.8, and shall not otherwise be considered or deemed to be a “Stockholder” entitled to exercise any rights on its own behalf under this Section 4 (it being understood that NL Holdco shall not have any registration rights on its own behalf under this Agreement).

4.9 Termination. The right of any Stockholder to request registration pursuant to Section 4.1 shall terminate upon such time as there are no longer any Registrable Shares outstanding owned, whether directly or indirectly, by such Stockholder.

The Company hereby agrees (a) that the Company shall be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to a Covered Indemnitee shall be primary and any obligation of any Stockholder Indemnitor to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Covered Indemnitee shall be secondary) and (b) the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Stockholder Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Stockholder Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Stockholder Indemnitors on behalf of a Covered Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such Covered Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Stockholder Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Covered Indemnitee against the Company. The provisions of this Section 5.3 will survive any termination of this Agreement. Any Stockholder Indemnitor or insurer thereof not a party to this Agreement is an express third-party beneficiary of this Section 5.3 and is entitled to enforce this Section 5.3 according to its terms to the same extent as if such Stockholder Indemnitor or insurer thereof were a party hereto.
