Constituent Companies; Exchange of Equity
SECTION 2.01.    Effect on Equity.
(a)    At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company Members (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) or the holder of any membership interests of Merger Sub:
4


(i)    The membership interest of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable membership interest unit of the Surviving LLC.
(ii)    At the Effective Time, each Series A Unit and each Series B Unit of the Company (each, a “Company Interest”) that is owned by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no Parent Common Stock or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.
(iii)    At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Series A Unit (other than Series A Units to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.01(a)(ii)) shall automatically be converted into a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Series A Per Share Stock Consideration (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.01(a)(v)).
(iv)    At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Series B Unit (other than Series B Units to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.01(a)(ii)) shall automatically be converted into a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Series B Per Share Stock Consideration (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.01(a)(v)).
(v)    Any revision to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Announcement) effected in accordance with the terms of the Announcement and the Takeover Code shall equally apply to this Agreement as it relates to the Merger Consideration.
(vi)    The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion of the Company Interests pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(iii) and Section 2.01(a)(iv) are referred to collectively as “Merger Consideration”. As of the Effective Time, all such Company Interests shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive, in accordance with Section 2.02, the applicable Merger Consideration.
(vii)    Parent agrees that in no event shall any Company Member be deemed to be an “interested stockholder” (as such term is defined in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) by virtue of acquiring Parent Common Stock in connection with the Transactions as contemplated hereby and Parent shall make all reasonable efforts to avoid any Company Member being considered an “interested stockholder”.
(b)    At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Subsequent Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any equity of Parent or the Surviving LLC, each membership interest unit of the Surviving LLC shall be cancelled for no consideration.
SECTION 2.02.    Exchange of Equity.
(a)    At the Effective Time, Parent (on behalf of Merger Sub) shall issue to the Company Members (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) the shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book entry form) issuable pursuant to Section 2.01 in exchange for all of the outstanding Company Interests. Such issuance of Parent
5


Common Stock shall be effected pursuant to a valid exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
(b)    The Merger Consideration issued in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any Company Interest shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Interest. After the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Surviving LLC of Company Interests that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Company Interests are presented to the Surviving LLC for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.
(c)    Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable in respect of the Transactions such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code, or under any provision of state, federal, provincial, territorial, local or foreign Tax Law; provided, however, except with respect to any payments in the nature of compensation to be made to employees or former employees on behalf of the Company and except with respect to any withholding that may result from the Company’s failure to deliver the FIRPTA Certificate (as defined herein) pursuant to Section 5.07(f), the payor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company with a written notice of the intention to withhold at least five Business Days prior to any such withholding, along with reasonable details regarding the provisions of Law that require such deduction or withholding and use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such withholdings or deductions (including considering in good faith any properly completed and duly executed documentation that is provided to the payor). The parties hereto agree that no Tax shall be withheld under Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code on the payment to the applicable Company Members if the Company has provided Parent with the FIRPTA Certificate pursuant to Section 5.07(f). To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such amounts shall be treated as paid to the Persons otherwise entitled to such amounts.
(d)    The parties agree and acknowledge that the applicable Company Members will not receive any consideration for their applicable Company Interests other than the shares of Parent Common Stock. Any amount deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.02(c) shall be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a deduction or withholding of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock and not as a deduction or withholding of cash or cash equivalents.
SECTION 2.03.    Fractional Shares. Paragraph 16 (Fractional Entitlements) of the Announcement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to fractional shares of Parent Common Stock into which any Company Interests are converted hereunder and that would otherwise be issued hereunder to a holder of Company Interests.
SECTION 2.04.    Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing any of the Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.04 shall not require the Company’s investor director on Target’s board of directors to take or refrain from taking any actions in their capacity as a director of Target.

SECTION 3.03.    No Subsidiaries.

Assuming concurrent delivery of the Company Member Consents, the execution and delivery by the Company hereof and thereof, the performance and compliance by the Company with each of its obligations herein and therein and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Company. The Company has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to be entered into as of the date of this Agreement to which it is a party and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party, this Agreement and such Ancillary Agreements constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as limited by Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, by general equitable principles or by the discretion of any Governmental Entity before which any Proceeding seeking enforcement may be brought.
(b)    The only vote of the Company necessary to approve this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party, the Merger and the other Transactions is the approval of this Agreement by the Manager and the Company Members, which Company Member Consents have been provided in the Letter Agreement with the Company Members.
SECTION 3.05.    No Conflicts; Consents.
(a)    The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement does not, and the execution and delivery by the Company of the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions and compliance with and performance of the terms hereof and thereof will not result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of consent or any right of termination, cancellation, acceleration or material modification of any obligation or right, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company under, any provision of (i) the Company Organizational Documents, (ii) any Contract to which the Company is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets is bound or (iii) subject to the filings and other matters referred to in Section 3.05(b), any Judgment or Law applicable to the Company or its respective properties or assets.

SECTION 3.06.    No Undisclosed Liabilities. Other than ownership of Target Shares and Convertible Loan Notes and activities incident thereto, the Company does not, and has not engaged in, any business activities, incurred any liabilities or obligations or held any other investments.

(b)    The parties acknowledge and agree that the Subsequent Merger is intended to be effected at such time as the shares in Target remain admitted to trading on AIM and therefore any actual or deemed transfer of shares in Target (for United Kingdom Tax purposes) should be exempt from United Kingdom stamp duty and United Kingdom Stamp Duty Reserve Tax.
(c)    Notwithstanding Section 5.06(b) above, in respect of the transfer by operation of law of the shares in Target pursuant to the Subsequent Merger, the parties acknowledge that a stock transfer form will be entered into between Parent and the Company on the Closing Date documenting the change of ownership of the shares in Target for no consideration and for which “Certificate 2” shall be certified to reflect the exemption noted at Section 5.06(b) in the event that the market value rule in section 47 Finance Act 2019 applies to
13


the transaction to deem market value consideration to be given for the change in ownership for UK stamp duty purposes. The Company shall take such commercially reasonable steps as required to ensure that such shares are in certificated form on the date such stock transfer form is entered into. Parent acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement or the irrevocable undertaking given by the Company to Parent on or around the date of this Agreement shall prevent such stock transfer form being delivered or such other steps as are reasonably required by the Company to document the change in ownership of the shares in Target pursuant to the Subsequent Merger in the manner contemplated by this Section 5.06(c).
SECTION 5.07.    Tax Matters.
(a)    It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) the Mergers, taken together, will constitute an integrated transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) the share-for-share exchange occurring pursuant to the Scheme Transaction will constitute a transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (iii) this Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations (clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

(b)    Parent shall not take any action that is not contemplated by this Agreement and that would result in the failure to satisfy the continuity of business enterprise requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d) in connection with the Transactions.
(c)    Parent covenants that neither Parent, Parent’s subsidiaries, nor a “related person” (as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(e)(4)) with respect to Parent (a “Related Person”), nor any entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and in which Parent, Parent’s subsidiaries, or a Related Person is treated for federal income tax purposes as owning a direct or indirect interest, will, in connection with the Mergers (as determined for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(e)), redeem or otherwise acquire any of the shares of Parent Common Stock transferred in connection with the Mergers, such that the continuity of interest requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(e) is not satisfied.
(d)    The Company and the Company Members jointly covenant that the Company will not distribute or otherwise dispose of, or caused to be distributed or otherwise disposed of, any of the assets held by the Company, such that the “substantially all of the properties” requirement described in Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and Rev. Proc. 77-37, 1977-2 C.B. 568 is not satisfied.
(e)    Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby adopts this Agreement as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations.
(f)    Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to Parent (i) a certificate, prepared in a manner consistent and in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.897-2(g), (h) and 1.1445-2(c)(3), certifying that no interest in the Company is, or has been during the relevant period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the
14


Internal Revenue Code, a “U.S. real property interest” within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (ii) a form of notice to the Internal Revenue Service prepared in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2) (the certificate and notice, collectively the “FIRPTA Certificate”).
SECTION 5.08.    Control of Operations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its operations.
SECTION 5.09.    Takeover Laws. Parent and the Parent Board shall (a) take no action to cause any Takeover Law (other than the Takeover Code) to become applicable to this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the Transactions and (b) if any Takeover Law (other than the Takeover Code) is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the Transactions, use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Mergers and the other Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Takeover Law with respect to this Agreement, the Mergers and the other Transactions.
SECTION 5.10.    Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to take all such steps as may be required to cause any acquisitions of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Parent Common Stock) resulting from the Transactions by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Parent, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Parent and the Company shall provide to counsel to the other party copies of the resolutions to be adopted by their respective boards of directors or other governing body to implement the foregoing, and the Company shall notify Parent of any actions required in this regard reasonably in advance of the time required for performance.
SECTION 5.11.    Parent Board.

15


less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock. From and after the date of the Parent Board Resolutions, and so long as the Company Members (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) have the RM Appointment Rights, Parent shall not increase the size of the Parent Board beyond nine directors without the consent of the RM Director. In the event any RM Director is unable or unwilling to serve as a director on the Parent Board, then prior to the Effective Time (with respect to the initial RM Director set forth on Schedule 5.11) and otherwise for so long as the RM Appointment Rights remain in effect, the Parent Board will take all action as is reasonably necessary to appoint an alternative or replacement RM Director to the Parent Board as designated by the Company Members (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time).
SECTION 5.12.    Notice of Certain Events. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the Closing, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly notify the other parties hereto of:

To the extent necessary, the Company Members or their Affiliates, as applicable, shall have primary responsibility for responding to any requests for information addressed to the Company Members or their Affiliates, as applicable, which are received from any Governmental Entity or for any notifications to any Governmental Entity for which the Company Members, or their Affiliates, as applicable, have the principal legal obligation to make under applicable Laws, and the obligations on the Company set out in this Section 5.13 shall then apply to Parent mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 8.04.    Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, table of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limiting the generality of the foregoing”. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.05.    Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.
SECTION 8.06.    Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic delivery in .pdf format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.07.    Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries; No Recourse.
(a)    This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement (although any provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement conflicting with this Agreement shall be governed by this Agreement), (i) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the Transactions, and (ii) except for solely with respect to each Affiliate and Representative of Parent and its successors and assigns, are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties any rights or remedies. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, from and after the Closing, each Company Member shall be a third party beneficiary to this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce any and all provisions hereof and any rights of the
24


Company hereunder, provided that any enforcement or exercise of rights on behalf of all Company Members must be effective by the Majority Holders or through a duly constituted and authorized single representative of the Company Members.
(b)    Except as expressly provided in Section 8.07(a), this Agreement may only be enforced against, and a claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought by, the expressly named parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party hereto, no present, former or future Affiliate, officer, director, manager, employee, incorporator, member, partner, limited partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or other Representative of any party or their Affiliates shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities set forth in this Agreement, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants of any party under this Agreement for any claim based upon, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transactions or in respect of any representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith. The provisions of this Section 8.07(b) are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by the Affiliates, officers, directors, managers, employees, incorporators, members, partners, stockholders, agents, attorneys and other Representatives referenced in this Section 8.07(b) and each such Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 8.07(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the foregoing shall not relieve any Person from any liability arising under or otherwise limit the enforcement of the Confidentiality Agreement or provide that an award of specific performance is not otherwise an available or appropriate remedy.
SECTION 8.08.    Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties and the Company Members. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
SECTION 8.09.    Governing Law. This Agreement and all Proceedings arising hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of Law thereof that would require the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 8.10.    Jurisdiction; Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each of the parties shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages) to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). In addition, each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any Proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any Judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). The parties further agree that no party to this Agreement shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.10 and
25


each party waives any objection to the imposition of such relief or any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such Proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 8.10, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (i) the Proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub hereby consents to service being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 8.02 and agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail (return receipt requested and first-class postage prepaid) to the respective addresses set forth in Section 8.02 shall be effective service of process for any Proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions.
SECTION 8.11.    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.
SECTION 8.12.    Majority Holder(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Electing Holder Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in the event there is a desire by that Person (or group of Persons) entitled to receive a majority of aggregate amount of the Parent Common Stock contemplated to be issued as Merger Consideration under this Agreement and all of the Electing Holder Agreements (the “Majority Holder(s)”) to waive performance of any obligation or satisfaction of any condition hereunder or under any Electing Holder Agreement, amend, modify or supplement any provision of this Agreement or any Electing Holder Agreement, or to provide any consent or approval with respect to any matter contemplated by this Agreement or any Electing Holder Agreement, as the case may be, such waiver, amendment, modification, supplement, consent or approval shall be deemed to apply in a corresponding manner to this Agreement and each Electing Holder Agreement. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that any amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement or any Electing Holder Agreement shall require the prior written approval of the Majority Holder(s).
SECTION 8.13.    Effectiveness of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the effectiveness of this Agreement shall be conditional on, and shall take effect only upon, the release of the Announcement via a Regulatory Information Service on the date of the Co-Operation Agreement (or such other date as the Parties may agree in accordance with the Co-Operation Agreement).

Re:    Letter Agreement
To Whom It May Concern:
Reference is hereby made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Jounce Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Evergreen Merger Sub 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and RM Special Holdings 3, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement.

As a material inducement for Parent to execute and deliver the Merger Agreement, each of the Company Members is entering into this letter agreement with Parent (this “Letter Agreement”). In consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Indemnification.
(a)From and after the Effective Time, the Company Members shall be liable for, and shall indemnify Parent, its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) and each of their respective Representatives (each, a “Parent Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Parent Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, obligations or out-of-pocket costs or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and whether or not arising from third party claims (collectively, “Losses”) suffered or incurred by such Parent Indemnitee to the extent arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in Section 3.02 (Equity Interests) and Section 3.06 (No Undisclosed Liabilities) of the Merger Agreement as though such representation or warranty was made as of the Closing Date.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, no Company Member shall be required to indemnify any Parent Indemnitee, and shall not have any liability under Section 1(a) for any Losses in excess of such Company Member’s Pro Rata Share times $197,800,000. As used in the Letter Agreement, “Pro Rata Share” means each Company Member’s proportionate share of the Merger Consideration expressed as a percentage and as set forth on Annex A attached hereto.
(c)Parent acknowledges that its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the matters addressed by Section 3.02 (Equity Interests) and Section 3.06 (No Undisclosed Liabilities) of the Merger Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Letter Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent, on behalf of itself and the Parent Indemnitees (including the Surviving Company), hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any
1



and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising out of, actual fraud by the Company Members) for damages it may have against any Company Member arising out of the matters addressed by Section 3.02 (Equity Interests) and Section 3.06 (No Undisclosed Liabilities) of the Merger Agreement, any Law or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Letter Agreement).
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the Company Members under this Section 1 shall be several and not joint, and with respect to any indemnifiable Losses hereunder, no Company Member shall be required to indemnify any Parent Indemnitee, and no Company Member shall have any liability, in excess of such Company Member’s Pro Rata Share of such indemnifiable Losses (and subject to the other limitations set forth in this Letter Agreement).
2.Calculation of Losses. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Letter Agreement shall be net of any amounts recovered or recoverable by the Parent Indemnitees under any insurance policy or against any third party with respect to such Loss, and the Parent Indemnitees shall take all reasonable steps to pursue any such available recoveries. If a Parent Indemnitee recovers under any insurance policy or against any third party, with respect to any Loss for which a Company Member has actually made an indemnification payment pursuant to this Letter Agreement, such Parent Indemnitee shall promptly pay over to the Company Members the amount so recovered but not in excess of the amount previously paid by the Company Members to or on behalf of the Parent Indemnitees in respect of such claim.
3.Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company contained in (a) Section 3.02 (Equity Interests) and Section 3.06 (No Undisclosed Liabilities) (other than any such representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.06 (No Undisclosed Liabilities) to the extent such representations and warranties relate to Taxes (the “Specified Tax Reps”)) of the Merger Agreement and the corresponding indemnification obligation under this Letter Agreement shall survive the Closing for one year, and (b) the Specified Tax Reps and the corresponding indemnification obligation under this Letter Agreement shall survive the Closing until December 31, 2025. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except in the case of actual fraud (i) Parent shall be deemed to have waived in full, and the Company Members shall have no indemnification or other obligations with respect to, any breach of any of the Company’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements at or before the Closing, and (ii) the Company Members shall be deemed to have waived in full, and Parent shall have no indemnification or other obligations with respect to, any breach of any of Parent’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements at, before or following the Closing.
4.Company Member Consent. By execution of this Letter Agreement, each Company Member hereby consents to (a) the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and any other agreement entered into by the Company in connection with the Transactions (the “Ancillary Agreements”), and (b) the Company performing each of its obligations under the Merger Agreement and Ancillary Agreements and to consummate the Transactions. Further, each Company Member hereby irrevocably waives any appraisal rights or dissenter’s rights which such Company Member might otherwise have in connection with its ownership of any Specified Company Interests (as defined herein), as applicable, under applicable Law in connection with the Transactions.
5.Representations and Warranties of the Company Members. Each Company Member severally and not jointly represents and warrants to Parent as of the date hereof and as of the Effective Time, as follows:
2



(a)Each Company Member is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has all requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority to conduct its businesses as presently conducted. Each Company Member is duly qualified and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the conduct or nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or holding of its properties make such qualification necessary, except such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, be materially adverse to such Company Member.
(b)Each Company Member has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Letter Agreement and Schedule A and to perform and comply with each of its obligations under this Letter Agreement. The execution and delivery by each Company Member of this Letter Agreement and Schedule A and the performance and compliance by each Company Member with each of its obligations under this Letter Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action on the part of each Company Member. Each Company Member has duly executed and delivered this Letter Agreement and Schedule A and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent of this Letter Agreement, this Letter Agreement and Schedule A constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Company Member, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as limited by Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, by general equitable principles or by the discretion of any Governmental Entity before which any Proceeding seeking enforcement may be brought.
(c)The execution and delivery by each Company Member of this Letter Agreement and Schedule A does not result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of consent or any right of termination, cancellation, acceleration or material modification of any obligation or right, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of such Company Member under, any provision of (i) such Company Member’s organizational documents, (ii) any Contract to which such Company Member is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets is bound or (iii) any Judgment or Law applicable to such Company Member or its respective properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), any such violations, defaults, consents, terminations, cancellations, accelerations, modifications or Liens that would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair such Company Member from performing its obligations hereunder or prevent or unreasonably delay the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(d)No Consent of, or Filing with, any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to such Company Member in connection with the execution and delivery of this Letter Agreement or Schedule A, the performance hereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, other than Consents and Filings the failure of which to obtain or make has not had and would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair such Company Member from performing its obligations hereunder or prevent or unreasonably delay the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(e)Each Company Member is the sole legal, record and beneficial owner of the Company Interests set forth opposite such Company Member’s name in Schedule 3.02 to the Merger Agreement (the “Specified Company Interests”), with good title to the Specified Company Interests and full power and authority to sell, assign and transfer the Specified Company Interests free and clear of all Liens (other than
3



transfer restrictions pursuant to securities laws), without material conflict, violation or breach of any Contract or Law to which such Company Member or such Specified Company Interests, as applicable, are subject or by which such Company Member or such Specified Company Interests, as applicable, are bound. Other than the Specified Company Interests, each Company Member does not own, beneficially or of record, directly or indirectly, any other equity interests in the Company, nor is any Company Member entitled to receive or acquire, any other equity interests in the Company or any options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights to acquire, directly or indirectly, any equity interests in the Company.
(f)Each Company Member (i) is an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) is acquiring the Parent Common Stock only for his, her or its own account and not for the account of others, and (iii) is not acquiring the Parent Common Stock with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide the requested information set forth on Schedule A). No Company Member is (A) an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Parent Common Stock and (B) a natural person.
(g)Each Company Member acknowledges and agrees that the Parent Common Stock are being offered in a private placement transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Parent Common Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act. Each Company Member acknowledges and agrees that the Parent Common Stock may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Company Member absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to Parent or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) in an “off-shore transaction” within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each of clauses (i) and (iii) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates representing the Parent Common Stock shall contain a restrictive legend to such effect. Each Company Member acknowledges and agrees that the Parent Common Stock will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Company Member may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Parent Common Stock and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Parent Common Stock for an indefinite period of time. Each Company Member shall not engage in hedging transactions with regard to the Parent Common Stock unless in compliance with the Securities Act. Each Company Member acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition of any of the Parent Common Stock.
(h)Each Company Member acknowledges and agrees that the book-entry position representing the Parent Common Stock will bear or reflect, as applicable, a legend substantially similar to the following:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER THAT THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, RESOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF BY THE HOLDER ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
4



UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT EXCEPT (I) TO THE ISSUER OR A SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (II) TO NON-U.S. PERSONS PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (III) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, AND IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.”
(i)Each Company Member’s acquisition and holding of the Parent Common Stock will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or any applicable similar law.
(j)Each Company Member acknowledges and agrees that such Company Member has received such information as such Company Member deems necessary in order to enter into this Letter Agreement, and understands all of the terms of this Letter Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable. Each Company Member acknowledges and agrees that the Company Member and its professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as such Company Member and such Company Member’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to enter into this Letter Agreement. Each Company Member acknowledges that in connection with the Merger, Parent will be making filings under the Securities Act, including a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”), which will contain additional information about the Merger and the Company, which such Company Member will not have the opportunity to review prior to entering into this Letter Agreement.
(k)Each Company Member became aware of this offering of Parent Common Stock solely by means of direct contact between such Company Member and Parent, the Company or their respective Representatives, and the Parent Common Stock is being offered to such Company Member solely by direct contact between the Company Member and Parent, the Company or their respective Representatives. Each Company Member did not become aware of this offering of Parent Common Stock, nor were shares of the Parent Common Stock offered to such Company Member, by any other means.
(l) Each Company Member acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the ownership of the Parent Common Stock, including those set forth in Parent’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and which will be more fully set forth in Parent’s Proxy Statement.
(m) Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), each Company Member has analyzed and considered the risks of an investment in the Parent Common Stock and determined that such Company Member is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of its investment in Parent by virtue of the Merger. Each Company Member acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
(n)Each Company Member acknowledges and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Parent Common Stock or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of any investment in the Parent or Parent Common Stock.
5



(o)EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 5, EACH COMPANY MEMBER MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH COMPANY MEMBER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, EQUITYHOLDERS OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSETS, LIABILITIES, EQUITY INTERESTS, BUSINESSES OR OPERATIONS, AND EACH COMPANY MEMBER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER AGREEMENT AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, NOTHING HEREIN SHALL EXCUSE ANY FRAUD COMMITTED, OR IMPAIR OR PRECLUDE RECOVERY IN RESPECT OF FRAUD.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except in the case of actual fraud by the Company Members, none of the representations and warranties of the Company Members in this Letter Agreement shall survive the Effective Time.

6.Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Merger Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Mergers and the other Transactions, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, shall be paid (i) by the party incurring such fees or expenses or (ii), in respect of those fees and expenses incurred by the Company, by the Company Members and not by the Company, whether or not the Mergers are consummated.
7.Tax Matters. The Company Members jointly covenant that the Company will not distribute or otherwise dispose of, or caused to be distributed or otherwise disposed of, any of the assets held by the Company, such that the “substantially all of the properties” requirement described in Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and Rev. Proc. 77-37, 1977-2 C.B. 568 is not satisfied.
8.Procedures.
(a)Third Party Claims. In order for a Parent Indemnitee to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 1 in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any Person not a party hereto against any Parent Indemnitee (a “Third Party Claim”), such Parent Indemnitee must notify the Company Members in writing of such Third Party Claim (setting forth in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such Third Party Claim (to the extent known by the Parent Indemnitee) and the amount or estimated amount (to the extent reasonably estimable) of Losses arising out of such Third Party Claim) promptly after receipt by such Parent Indemnitee of notice of such Third Party Claim. Thereafter, the Parent Indemnitee shall deliver to the Company Members, promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) after the Parent Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Parent Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.
(b)Assumption. If a Third Party Claim is made against a Parent Indemnitee, the Company Members shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and (unless the Company Members are also a party to such Third Party Claim and the Parent Indemnitee provides the Company Members with written advice of outside counsel to the Parent Indemnitee to the effect that there are legal defenses available to the Parent Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those available to the Company Members that, if the Parent Indemnitee and the Company Members were to be represented by the same counsel, would constitute a conflict of interest for such
6



counsel or prejudice the prosecution of the defenses available to such Parent Indemnitee), if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Company Members; provided, however, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Parent Indemnitee. The assumption of the defense of any Third Party Claim shall not require the Company Members to agree to be liable for any Losses in respect of such Third Party Claim and shall be without prejudice to any rights or defenses of the Company Members in respect of whether any Parent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification for any particular Loss. If the Company Members assume the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8(b), the Company Members shall not be liable to the Parent Indemnitee for any legal expenses incurred by the Parent Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. Any such participation or assumption shall not constitute a waiver by any party of any attorney-client privilege in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Company Members assume the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8(b), the Parent Indemnitees shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel (not reasonably objected to by the Company Members), at their own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Company Members, it being understood that the Company Members shall control such defense. If the Company Members choose to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the Parent Indemnitees shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Company Members’ request) the provision to the Company Members of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available at such times and places as may be reasonably necessary to defend against such Third Party Claim for the purpose of providing additional information, explanation or testimony in connection with such Third Party Claim. Whether or not the Company Members assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Parent Indemnitees shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Company Members’ prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Company Members assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Company Members shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that the Company Members shall have the right to settle such Third Party Claim without the consent of Parent if such settlement (i) does not involve any admission by Parent of any violation of criminal Law, (ii) does not involve any relief against Parent other than monetary damages and (iii) provides a customary release of Parent in connection with such Third Party Claim.
(c)If the Company Members choose to defend any Third Party Claim, the Parent Indemnitees (i) shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company Members (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) cause, or agree to, the waiver of the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product immunity or any other privilege or protection in respect of confidential legal memoranda and other privileged materials drafted by, or otherwise reflecting the legal advice of, internal or outside counsel of a Parent Indemnitee (the “Subject Materials”) relating to such Third Party Claim and (ii) shall, upon the reasonable request of the Company Members, make reasonably available to the Company Members such books, records or other documents and employees and Representatives reasonably related to such Third Party Claim or any related claim or counterclaim that are within the Parent Indemnitee’s possession and control that are necessary or appropriate for such litigation or other legal proceeding or for any internal or external audit work in respect of such Third Party Claim conducted by the Company Members. Each party hereto mutually acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that (A) each shares a common legal interest in preparing for the defense of legal proceedings, or
7



potential legal proceedings, arising out of, relating to or in respect of any actual or threatened Third Party Claim or any related claim or counterclaim, (B) the sharing of Subject Materials will further such common legal interest and (C) by disclosing any Subject Materials to and/or sharing any Subject Materials with the Company Members, the Parent Indemnitees shall not waive the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product immunity or any other privilege or protection.
(d)Other Claims. In the event any Parent Indemnitee has a claim against the Company Members under Section 1 that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Parent Indemnitees shall deliver notice of such claim to the Company Members (setting forth in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such claim (to the extent known by the Parent Indemnitees) and the amount or estimated amount (to the extent reasonably estimable) of Losses arising out of such claim) promptly after becoming aware of such claim; provided that any deficiencies or delay shall only impact the indemnification obligation to the extent the Company Members are prejudiced.
(e)Mitigation. To the extent that Parent fails to make such reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability and such failure increases indemnified costs, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the Company Members shall not be required to indemnify any Parent Indemnitee for any Loss that would reasonably be expected to have been avoided if Parent, as the case may be, had made such efforts.
(f)Reimbursement of Costs and Expenses. In the event of any claim or dispute among the parties hereto as to whether a Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Letter Agreement for any particular Loss or Losses, the non-prevailing party in such claim or dispute shall reimburse the prevailing party for reasonable costs and expenses of investigation, assertion, dispute, enforcement, defense (including any reasonable counterclaim) or resolution, including reasonable attorneys’, actuaries’, accountants’ and other professionals’ fees, disbursements and expenses, incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such claim or dispute.

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter Agreement shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives of each Company Member and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the dissolution, liquidation, bankruptcy or incapacity of such Company Member. Parent agrees to provide such form of letter of transmittal and IRS Form W-8 no later than 10 Business Days prior to the Closing and to cooperate, and cause the Exchange Agent to cooperate, with the Company Members so such Company Members shall receive their shares of Parent Common Stock as of the Closing.

ARTICLE 3
Registration Rights
Section 3.01.    Demand Registration. (a) At any time after the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (or such earlier date as would permit the Company to cause any Filings required hereunder to be filed on the Closing), any Person that is a Stockholder (a “Requesting Stockholder”) on the date a Demand is made shall be entitled to make a written request of the Company (a “Demand”) for registration under the Securities Act of a number of Registrable Securities that, when taken together with the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered under the Securities Act by such Requesting Stockholder’s Affiliates, equals or is greater than the Registrable Amount (a “Demand Registration”); provided that each Demand Registration must include, in the aggregate, Registrable Securities having an aggregate market value of at least the Minimum Threshold (based on the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration by all Stockholders participating in such Demand Registration), and thereupon the Company will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of:
(i)    the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting Stockholders for disposition in accordance with the intended method of disposition stated in such Demand, which may be an Underwritten Offering;
(ii)    all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register pursuant to Section 3.01(b); and
5


(iii)    all shares of Common Stock which the Company may elect to register in connection with any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.01, but subject to Section 3.01(f), in each case, subject to the Minimum Threshold;
all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities and the additional Common Stock, if any, to be so registered.
(b)    A Demand shall specify: (i) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Demand Registration (subject to the Minimum Threshold), (ii) the intended method of disposition in connection with such Demand Registration, to the extent then known and (iii) the identity of the Requesting Stockholder (or Requesting Stockholders). Within 5 business days after receipt of a Demand, the Company shall give written notice of such Demand to any other Persons that on the date a Demand is delivered to the Company is a Stockholder (excluding Permitted Transferees which have not signed a joinder as contemplated by Section 2.01). Subject to Section 3.01(f), the Company shall include in the Demand Registration covered by such Demand all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein. Such written request shall comply with the requirements of a Demand as set forth in this Section 3.01(b).
(c)    Each Stockholder shall be entitled to an unlimited number of Demand Registrations until such time as the Stockholders hold less than a Registrable Amount.
(d)    Demand Registrations shall be on such registration form of the Commission for which the Company is eligible as shall be reasonably selected by the Requesting Stockholders whose shares represent a majority of the Registrable Securities that the Company has been requested to register, including, to the extent permissible, an automatically effective registration statement or an existing effective registration statement filed by the Company with the Commission, and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.
(e)    The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration (A) within 60 days of a “firm commitment” Underwritten Offering in which all Stockholders were given “piggyback” rights pursuant to Section 3.02 (subject to Section 3.01(f)) and provided that at least 50% of the number of Registrable Securities requested by such Stockholders to be included in such Demand Registration were included, (B) within one month of any other Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 3.03(e), or (C) within 90 days after the effective date of a previous registration statement filed pursuant to a Demand Registration. In addition, the Company shall be entitled to postpone (upon written notice to all Stockholders) for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 60 days in succession the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for any Demand Registration (but no more than twice, or for more than 90 days in the aggregate, in any period of 12 consecutive months) if (i) the Board determines in good faith and in its reasonable judgment that the filing or effectiveness of the registration statement relating to such Demand Registration would (A) cause the disclosure of material, non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, (B) materially interfere with a bona fide business, financing or business combination transaction of the Company by causing disclosure of material, non-public information that the Board determines in good faith and in its reasonable judgment would materially and adversely affect the Company or (C) materially and adversely impact the Company, or (ii) such registration would render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, provided that the Company used reasonable best efforts to comply with such requirements. In the event of a postponement by the Company of the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration, the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities held by the Requesting Stockholder(s) shall have the right to withdraw such Demand in accordance with Section 3.04.

(f)    The Company shall not include any securities other than Registrable Securities in a Demand Registration, except (i) to the extent required under any registration rights agreement in effect on the date hereof that binds the Company or (ii) with the written consent of Stockholders participating in such Demand Registration that hold a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration. If, in connection with a Demand Registration, any managing underwriter (or, if such Demand Registration is not an Underwritten Offering, a nationally recognized investment bank engaged in connection with such Demand Registration) advises the Company, that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities, including securities of the Company that are not Registrable Securities, sought to be registered in connection with such Demand Registration would adversely affect the marketability of the Registrable Securities sought to be sold pursuant thereto, then the Company shall include in such registration statement only such securities as the Company is advised by such underwriter or investment bank can be sold without such adverse effect as follows and in the following order of priority: (i) first, up to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement and by Gilead pursuant to the Gilead RRA, on a pari passu basis, which, in the opinion of the underwriter can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, pro rata among such Stockholders requesting such Demand Registration on the basis of the number of such securities held by such Stockholders and such Stockholders that are Piggyback Sellers; (ii) second, securities the Company proposes to sell; and (iii) third, all other securities of the Company duly requested to be included in such registration statement, pro rata on the basis of the number of such other securities requested to be included or such other method determined by the Company.
(g)    Any investment bank(s) that will serve as an underwriter with respect to such Demand Registration or, if such Demand Registration is not an Underwritten Offering, any investment bank engaged in connection therewith, shall be selected by the Stockholder participating in such Demand Registration, with the express consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, that holds (together with its Permitted Transferees) a number of Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration constituting a plurality of all Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration.
Section 3.02.    Piggyback Registrations. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration by the Company (x) on a registration statement on Form S-4 or (y) on a registration statement on Form S-8 (or, in any of the cases of (x) or (y), on any successor forms thereto)) (each, a “Piggyback Registration”), whether for its own account or for the account of others, the Company shall give the Stockholders (excluding Permitted Transferees which have not signed a joinder as contemplated by Section 2.01) prompt written notice thereof (but not less than 5 business days prior to the filing by the Company with the Commission of any registration statement with respect thereto). Such notice (a “Piggyback Notice”) shall specify, at a minimum, the number of equity securities proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing of such registration statement with the Commission, the proposed means of distribution and the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters (if any and if known). Upon the written request of any Person that on the date of such Piggyback Notice is a Stockholder, given within 5 business days after such Piggyback Notice is received by such Person (any such Persons, a “Piggyback Seller”) (which written request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities then presently intended to be disposed of by such Piggyback Seller), the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities held by Piggyback Sellers with respect to which the Company has received such written requests for inclusion to be included in such Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s equity securities being sold in such Piggyback Registration.
7


(b)    If, in connection with a Piggyback Registration, any managing underwriter (or, if such Piggyback Registration is not an Underwritten Offering, a nationally recognized investment bank engaged in connection with such Piggyback Registration) advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all the equity securities sought to be included in such Piggyback Registration by (i) the Company, (ii) others who have sought to have equity securities of the Company registered in such Piggyback Registration pursuant to rights to Demand (other than pursuant to so-called “piggyback” or other incidental or participation registration rights) such registration (such Persons being “Other Demanding Sellers”), (iii) the Piggyback Sellers and (iv) any other proposed sellers of equity securities of the Company (such Persons being “Other Proposed Sellers”), as the case may be, would adversely affect the marketability of the equity securities sought to be sold pursuant thereto, then the Company shall include in the registration statement applicable to such Piggyback Registration only such equity securities as the Company is so advised by such underwriter or investment bank can be sold without such an effect, as follows and in the following order of priority:
(i)    if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of equity securities to be sold by the Company as the Company, in its reasonable judgment and acting in good faith and in accordance with sound financial practice, shall have determined, (B) second, Registrable Securities of Piggyback Sellers and securities sought to be registered by Other Demanding Sellers (if any), pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Piggyback Sellers and Other Demanding Sellers and (C) third, other equity securities held by any Other Proposed Sellers; or
(ii)    if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering other than for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of equity securities sought to be registered by each Other Demanding Seller and the Piggyback Sellers (if any), pro rata in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by all such Other Demanding Sellers and Piggyback Sellers and (B) second, other equity securities held by any Other Proposed Sellers or to be sold by the Company as determined by the Company and with such priorities among them as may from time to time be determined or agreed to by the Company.
(c)    In connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Section 3.02 for the Company’s account, the Company shall not be required to include a holder’s Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering unless such holder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company; provided that any applicable Underwriting Agreement includes only customary terms and conditions.
(d)    If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any of its equity securities as set forth in this Section 3.02 and prior to the time the registration statement filed in connection with such Piggyback Registration is declared effective, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such equity securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Stockholder and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such particular withdrawn or abandoned Piggyback Registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith as provided herein).
Section 3.03.    Shelf Registration. (a) Subject to Section 3.03(e), and further subject to the availability of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or a successor form, which may be an automatically effective registration statement at any time the Company is eligible (“Form S-3”) to the Company, RMG Funds or any of their Permitted Transferees (in each case to the extent a Stockholder hereunder) may by written notice delivered to the Company (the “Shelf Notice”) require the Company to (i) file as promptly as practicable (but no later than 60 days after the date the Shelf Notice is delivered), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective by the Commission at the earliest possible date permitted under the rules and
8


regulations of the Commission (but no later than 60 days after such filing date), a Form S-3, or (ii) use an existing Form S-3 filed with the Commission, in each case providing for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of the Registrable Securities owned by RMG Funds (or any of their Permitted Transferees), as the case may be, and any other Persons that at the time of the Shelf Notice meet the definition of a Stockholder who elect to participate therein as provided in Section 3.03(b) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”), in each case, to occur from the date such Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective until the earlier to occur of (x) the first date as of which all of the shares of Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold or (y) three (3) years after the date of effectiveness.
(b)    RMG Funds and their Permitted Transferees shall be entitled to require the Company to file an unlimited number of Shelf Registration Statements until such time as the Stockholders, hold less than a Registrable Amount.
(c)    Within 5 business days after receipt of a Shelf Notice pursuant to Section 3.03(a), the Company will deliver written notice thereof to each Stockholder (excluding Permitted Transferees which have not signed a joinder as contemplated by Section 2.01). Each Stockholder may elect to participate in the Shelf Registration Statement by delivering to the Company a written request to so participate.
(d)    Subject to Section 3.03(e), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold thereunder in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, or otherwise (the “Shelf Registration Effectiveness Period”).
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing notice to the Stockholders who elected to participate in the Shelf Registration Statement, to require such Stockholders to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 90 days in the aggregate in any 12 month period (a “Suspension Period”) if the Board determines in good faith and in its reasonable judgment that it is required to disclose in the Shelf Registration Statement material, non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential. Immediately upon receipt of such notice, the Stockholders covered by the Shelf Registration Statement shall suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made as required below. Any Suspension Period shall terminate at such time as the public disclosure of such information is made. After the expiration of any Suspension Period and without any further request from a Stockholder, the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(f)    At any time, and from time-to-time, during the Shelf Registration Effectiveness Period (except during a Suspension Period), each of RMG Funds or any of their Permitted Transferees (in each case to the extent a Stockholder hereunder) may notify the Company of their intent to sell Registrable Securities (subject to the Minimum Threshold) covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (in whole or in part) in an Underwritten Offering (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”); provided that the Company shall not be obligated to participate in more than two underwritten offerings during any twelve-month period. Such notice shall specify (x) the
9


aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Shelf Underwritten Offering (subject to the Minimum Threshold) and (y) the identity of the Stockholder(s) requesting such Shelf Underwritten Offering. Upon receipt by the Company of such notice, the Company shall promptly comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, including those provisions of Section 3.05 relating the Company’s obligation to make Filings with the Commission, assist in the preparation and filing with the Commission of prospectus supplements and amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement, participate in “road shows,” agree to customary “lock-up” agreements with respect to the Company’s securities and obtain “comfort” letters, and the Company shall take such other actions as necessary or appropriate to permit the consummation of such Shelf Underwritten Offering as promptly as practicable. Each Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be for the sale of a number of Registrable Securities equal to or greater than the Registrable Amount. In any Shelf Underwritten Offering, the Company shall select the investment bank(s) and managers that will serve as lead or co-managing underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Stockholders participating in such Shelf Underwritten Offering that hold a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Underwritten Offering.
Section 3.04.    Withdrawal Rights. Any Stockholder having notified or directed the Company to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in a registration statement under the Securities Act shall have the right to withdraw any such notice or direction with respect to any or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration by giving written notice to such effect to the Company prior to the effective date of such registration statement. In the event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable registration and such Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities for all purposes of this Agreement. No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn; provided, however, that in the case of a Demand Registration, if such withdrawal shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included in such registration below the Registrable Amount, then the Company shall as promptly as practicable give each holder of Registrable Securities sought to be registered notice to such effect and, within 10 business days following the mailing of such notice, such holder(s) of Registrable Securities still seeking registration shall, by written notice to the Company, elect to register additional Registrable Securities, when taken together with elections to register Registrable Securities by its Permitted Transferees, to satisfy the Registrable Amount or elect that such registration statement not be filed or, if theretofore filed, be withdrawn. During such ten day period, the Company shall not file such registration statement if not theretofore filed or, if such registration statement has been theretofore filed, the Company shall not seek, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent, the effectiveness thereof.
Section 3.05.    Registration Procedures. (a) If and whenever the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 3.01, Section 3.02 and Section 3.03, the Company shall as promptly as practicable (in each case, to the extent applicable):
(i)    prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement to effect such registration, cause such registration statement to become effective at the earliest possible date permitted under the rules and regulations of the Commission, and thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to remain effective pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may discontinue any registration of its securities which are not Registrable Securities at any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto; provided, further, that not less than 5 business days prior to filing such registration statement or any amendments thereto, the Company will furnish to the counsel selected by the holders of Registrable Securities which are to be included in such registration (“Selling Holders”) copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which
10


documents will be subject to the review of and comment by such counsel (it being understood that counsel to the Selling Holders will conduct its review and provide any comments promptly);
(ii)    prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith and any Exchange Act reports incorporated by reference therein as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement until the earlier of such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Selling Holder(s) set forth in such registration statement or (i) in the case of a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 3.01, the expiration of 60 days after such registration statement becomes effective or (ii) in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 3.02, the expiration of 60 days after such registration statement becomes effective or (iii) in the case of a Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 3.03, the Shelf Registration Effectiveness Period;
(iii)    furnish to each Selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, of the securities being sold by such Selling Holder such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus contained in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and such other documents as such Selling Holder and underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder;
(iv)    use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities laws or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Selling Holder and any underwriter of the securities being sold by such Selling Holder shall reasonably request, and take any other action which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Selling Holder and underwriter to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this clause (iv) be obligated to be so qualified, to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(v)    use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if no such securities are so listed, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which the same or similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or if no such securities are then listed, on a national securities exchange selected by the Company;
(vi)    use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Selling Holder(s) thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
(vii)    use commercially reasonable efforts to, in connection with an Underwritten Offering, for each Selling Holder and underwriter:
(A)    obtain an opinion of counsel for the Company, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings, and

(viii)    subject to confidentiality agreements in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, promptly make available for inspection, at such place and in such manner as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, by any Selling Holder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to any registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained by any such Selling Holder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such Selling Holder or underwriter to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement promptly; provided, however, that, unless the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the registration statement or the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall not be required to provide any information under this subparagraph (viii) if (i) the Company believes, after consultation with counsel for the Company, that to do so would cause the Company to forfeit an attorney-client privilege that was applicable to such information or (ii) if either (A) the Company has requested and been granted from the Commission confidential treatment of such information contained in any filing with the Commission or documents provided supplementally or otherwise or (B) the Company reasonably determines in good faith that such Records are confidential and so notifies the Inspectors in writing; and provided, further, that each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that it will, as soon as practicable upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action and to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential;
(ix)    promptly notify in writing each Selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, of the following events:

(B)    any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or the prospectus or for additional information;
(C)    the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings by any Person for that purpose;
(D)    when any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus includes information that may conflict with the information contained in the registration statement; and
12


(E)    the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose;
(x)    as soon as reasonably practicable, notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement, 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, at the request of any Selling Holder, promptly prepare and furnish to such Selling Holder 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 of such Registrable 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;
(xi)    use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement;
(xii)    otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to Selling Holders, as promptly as practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least 12 months, but not more than 18 months, beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full quarter after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
(xiii)    cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner with any Selling Holder and any underwriter and the managing underwriter to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (which shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required under applicable law), if necessary or appropriate, representing securities sold under any registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or such Selling Holder may request and keep available and make available to the Company’s transfer agent prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement a supply of such certificates as necessary or appropriate;
(xiv)    use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any Selling Holder and the Company’s transfer agent and use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any restrictive legends from the certificates representing ownership of the Registrable Securities, at the time the registration statement registering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective or promptly thereafter;
(xv)    with respect to underwritten Demand Registrations, have appropriate senior executives of the Company reasonably available to assist the underwriters with respect to, and participate in, any “road shows” in connection with the marketing efforts for, and the distribution and sale of, Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement, provided that any such road shows are reasonably requested by the managing underwriter and are customary for underwritten offerings that are comparable to such underwritten Demand Registration in size and the type of securities offered;
(xvi)    have appropriate officers of the Company, and cause representatives of the Company’s independent registered public accountants, to participate in any due diligence discussions reasonably requested by any Selling Holder or any underwriter;
13


(xvii)    if reasonably requested by any underwriter, agree, and cause the Company and any directors or officers of the Company to agree, to be bound by “lock-up” agreements restricting the ability to dispose of Company Securities, provided that any lock-up agreements are customary in duration and limitations for offerings comparable to such offering of Company Securities;
(xviii)    use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the FINRA and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter that is required to be undertaken in accordance with the rules and regulations of the FINRA;

(b)    Without limiting any of the foregoing, in the event that the offering of Registrable Securities is to be made by or through an underwriter, the Company shall enter into an Underwriting Agreement with a managing underwriter or underwriters containing representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements customarily included (but not inconsistent with the covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein) by an issuer of common stock in underwriting agreements with respect to offerings of common stock for the account of, or on behalf of, such issuers. In connection with any offering of Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall furnish to the underwriter, if any (or, if no underwriter, the Selling Holder), unlegended certificates representing ownership of the Registrable Securities being sold (unless, in the Company’s sole discretion, such Registrable Securities are to be issued in uncertificated form pursuant to the customary arrangements for issuing shares in such form), in such denominations as requested and instruct any transfer agent and registrar of the Registrable Securities to release any stop transfer order with respect thereto.

In the event the Company shall give such notice, any applicable 60 day period during which such registration statement must remain effective pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended by the number of days during the period from the date of giving of a notice regarding the happening of an event of the kind described in Section 3.05(a)(ix) to the date when all such Selling Holders shall receive such a supplemented or amended prospectus and such prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission.

Indemnification
Section 4.01.    Indemnification by Company. The Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Stockholder and, as applicable, each of its members, directors, managers, stockholders, partners, officers and employees, and each Person who controls such Stockholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) or actions or proceedings in respect thereof (whether or not such indemnified Person is party thereto) (each, an “Action”) arising out of or based upon (a) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (including, in each case, all documents incorporated therein by reference), (b) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (c) any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or related document or report, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by the Stockholder expressly for use
15


therein or by the Stockholder’s failure to deliver a copy of the prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished the Stockholder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an Underwritten Offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Stockholder. The payments required by this Section 4.01 will be made promptly during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred.
Section 4.02.    Indemnification by Stockholder. In connection with any registration statement in which the Stockholder is participating, the Stockholder will furnish to the Company in writing such information relating to such holder as requested by the Company and is reasonably necessary for use in connection with any such registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will indemnify the Company, its subsidiaries, and, as applicable, each of their directors, employees and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any Losses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (including, in each case, all documents incorporated therein by reference), or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in or omitted from any information furnished in writing by such Stockholder for the acknowledged purpose of inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus; provided, however, the liability of the Stockholder will be in proportion to and limited to the net amount that it received from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, unless any such Losses resulted from the Stockholder’s fraudulent conduct or willful misconduct.
Section 4.03.    Contribution. If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective Persons are entitled, there shall be considered the Persons’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby agreed that it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. 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 found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Holder or transferee thereof shall be required to make a contribution in excess of the net amount received by such holder from its sale of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation.
Section 4.04.    Procedure. (a) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis.
(b)    In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other
16


indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or is reasonably likely to be prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in connection with retaining separate legal counsel). The indemnifying party shall lose its right to defend, contest, litigate and settle a matter if it shall fail to diligently contest such matter (except to the extent settled in accordance with the next following sentence).
Section 4.05.    Other Matters. (a) An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an Action effected without its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Action.
(b)    Any Losses for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article 4 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such Losses are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article 4 shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnitee, the Company, its directors or officers, or any Person controlling the Company, and (ii) any termination of this Agreement.
(c)    The parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate with each other in a reasonable manner with respect to access to unprivileged information and similar matters in connection with any Action. The provisions of this Article 4 are for the benefit of, and are intended to create third party beneficiary rights in favor of, each of the indemnified parties referred to herein.
(d)    Not less than three business days before the expected filing date of each registration statement pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall notify each Stockholder who has timely provided the requisite notice hereunder entitling the Stockholder to register Registrable Securities in such registration statement of the information, documents and instruments from such Stockholder that the Company or any underwriter reasonably requests in connection with such registration statement, including, but not limited to a questionnaire, custody agreement, power of attorney, lock-up letter and underwriting agreement (the “Requested Information”). If the Company has not received, on or before the day before the expected filing date, the Requested Information from such Stockholder, the Company may file the registration statement without including Registrable Securities of such Stockholder. The failure to so include in any registration statement the Registrable Securities of a Stockholder (with regard to that registration statement) shall not in and of itself result in any liability on the part of the Company to such Stockholder.
