(the “Shareholder”), Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”), Vestar Capital Partners (“Vestar”), Centerview Capital Management LLC (“Centerview”), AlpInvest Partners US Holdings, LLC (“AlpInvest”), and each of the shareholders whose name appears on the signature pages hereto and any person who becomes a party pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii) hereof.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, on the date hereof and simultaneous with the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Blue Acquisition Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cupid”), SPF Holdings I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub One”), and SPF Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub Two”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub One will be merged with and into Cupid (the “Initial Merger”), followed by the merger of Cupid with and into Merger Sub Two (the “Follow-On Merger” and, together with the Initial Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub Two continuing as the surviving company and a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of outstanding common stock of Cupid, par value $0.01 per share (other than Canceled Shares, Continuing Shares or Dissenting Shares, each as defined in the Merger Agreement), shall be converted in the Initial Merger into (i) shares of common stock, no par value, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) and (ii) cash, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, in connection with the Mergers, the Shareholder is expected to receive shares of Company Common Stock (the shares of Company Common Stock received by the Shareholder in the Mergers, the “Shares”) representing, in the aggregate, approximately 14.9% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, after giving effect to the issuance of such Shares; and

WHEREAS, each of the parties hereto wishes to set forth in this Agreement certain terms and conditions regarding the Shareholder’s ownership of the Shares and to establish certain rights, restrictions and obligations of the Shareholder and the Investors with respect to the Shares.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

GOVERNANCE

1.1 Board Observer Rights.

(a) After the Closing and prior to a KKR Observer Termination Event, the KKR Investors shall be entitled to designate one Observer (the “KKR Observer”). After the Closing and prior to a Vestar Observer Termination Event, the Vestar Investors shall be entitled to designate one Observer (the “Vestar Observer”). After the Closing and prior to a Centerview Observer Termination Event, the Centerview Investors shall be entitled to designate one Observer (the “Centerview Observer”).

(b) The initial KKR Observer shall be Simon Brown. In the event Mr. Brown is unable to continue to serve as the KKR Observer or in the event Mr. Brown ceases to be employed by KKR or any of its Affiliates, then Max Alper shall be the KKR Observer. The initial Vestar Observer shall be Kevin Mundt. In the event Mr. Mundt is unable to continue to serve as the Vestar Observer or in the event Mr. Mundt ceases to be employed by Vestar or any of its Affiliates, then Daniel O’Connell shall be the Vestar Observer. The initial Centerview Observer shall be David Hooper. In the event Mr. Hooper is unable to continue to serve as the Centerview Observer or in the event Mr. Hooper ceases to be employed by Centerview or any of its Affiliates, then James Kilts shall be the Centerview Observer. In the event Mr. Alper, Mr. O’Connell or Mr. Kilts or any successor Observer appointed in accordance with Section 1.2 is unable to continue to serve in such role or in the event Mr. Alper, Mr. O’Connell or Mr. Kilts or any successor Observer appointed in accordance with Section 1.2 ceases to be employed by the designating Investor or any of its Affiliates, the designating Investor will be entitled to designate a new individual to fill the resulting Observer vacancy in accordance with Section 1.2 and, subject to the provisions of Section 1.2, such individual shall then be deemed an Observer for all purposes hereunder.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Observer shall have the same rights as a director of the Company with respect to receipt of information and the right to notice of and to participate in all meetings of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). It is understood and agreed that no Observer shall have voting rights, nor shall Observers be counted towards a quorum. No Observer shall be entitled to receive any compensation from the Company for services as an Observer (but shall be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses consistent with the Company’s travel and expense policies). For the avoidance of doubt, each Observer shall be entitled to participate in any executive sessions (or similar sessions or meetings) of the Board and all meetings of committees of the Board. The Company shall send to each such Observer the notice of the time and place of each meeting of the Board and each committee of the Board in the same manner and at the same time as it shall send such notice to the directors and such committee members. The Company shall also provide to each such Observer copies of all notices, reports, minutes, consents and any other materials at the time and in the manner as they are provided to the directors and committee members.

-2-

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to exclude any Observer from or deny any Observer access to any Board meeting or portion thereof or any materials distributed to any Board members where the Chairman of the Board or a majority of the members in attendance at such Board meeting (or, with respect to materials to be provided in advance of any meeting, the Chairman of the Board or a majority of the members of the Board), reasonably determines that such exclusion is necessary or advisable to avoid a direct conflict of interest because the meeting (or portion thereof) or materials relate to a subject in which the Observer and/or the applicable Investor has a direct interest, such as a dispute with or the enforcement of rights against the Investors, or after consultation with counsel, in good faith determines that such exclusion is necessary or advisable to preserve attorney-client or other applicable privilege or is required by Applicable Law. An Observer shall be required to recuse himself or herself from any portion of any Board meeting if such Observer has knowledge that the Investor that designated such Observer, or one of its Affiliates, is engaged in, pursuing or evaluating the same business opportunity that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is currently engaged in, pursuing or evaluating which business opportunity is the subject of such portion of such Board meeting and the participation of such Observer would create a conflict of interest; provided, that in no event shall such Observer be required to recuse himself or herself from any other portion of any such Board meeting. All Observers, as a condition to the exercise of the applicable Investors’ rights under this Section 1.1, shall be required (i) to comply with the Company’s trading windows, blackout and other policies applicable to insiders, except to the extent any such Observer would not qualify as an insider with respect to any specific transaction and (ii) to comply with any other regulatory requirements (including any obligation that may be imposed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) or any other Applicable Law to the extent applicable to such Observer in his or her capacity as an Observer.

1.2 Objection to Observer. In the event that both individuals named in Section 1.1(b) as the KKR Observers, the Vestar Observers or the Centerview Observers, as applicable, are unable to serve as Observers or cease to be employed by the relevant designating Investor or any of its Affiliates, the KKR Investors, the Vestar Investors, or the Centerview Investors, respectively, shall be eligible to designate a replacement Observer subject to the Board (a) having been provided reasonably requested background information regarding such proposed Observer by the designating Investor, (b) having had the opportunity to interview such proposed Observer in person and (c) consenting to the designation of such proposed Observer as an Observer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that in no event shall the Company exercise the forgoing consent right in a manner intended to prevent, or with the reasonably foreseeable effect of preventing, the applicable Investor from being able to exercise its right to designate one Observer under Section 1.1(a). Each of the KKR Investors, the Vestar Investors, and the Centerview Investors agrees that no individual shall be an Observer or serve as an Observer if (i) the approval of such individual as an Observer would cause the Company to not be in compliance with Applicable Law, (ii) such individual has been involved in any of the events enumerated in Item 2(d) or (e) of Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act or Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act or is subject to any order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Authority prohibiting service as a director or observer of any public company or (iii) such individual serves as a director on the board of any Designated Entity. In any such case described in the preceding sentence, the KKR Investors, the Vestar Investors, or the Centerview Investors, as applicable, will remove such KKR Observer, Vestar Observer, or Centerview Observer, as applicable, or withdraw the candidacy of a proposed KKR Observer, Vestar Observer, or Centerview Observer, as applicable, and, so long

-3-

as a KKR Observer Termination Event, Vestar Observer Termination Event, or Centerview Observer Termination Event, as applicable, has not occurred, the applicable Investor will designate a replacement therefor (which replacement will also be subject to the requirements of this Section 1.2).

1.3 Voting Agreements.

(a) Until six (6) months after the date (i) with respect to the KKR Investors’ obligations hereunder, there is no KKR Observer and the KKR Investors no longer have any rights under this Article I to designate any KKR Observer, (ii) with respect to the Vestar Investors’ obligations hereunder, there is no Vestar Observer and the Vestar Investors no longer have any rights under this Article I to designate any Vestar Observer, (iii) with respect to the Centerview Investors’ obligations hereunder, there is no Centerview Observer and the Centerview Investors no longer have any rights under this Article I to designate any Centerview Observer and (iv) with respect to the AlpInvest Investors’ obligations hereunder, of the AlpInvest Termination Event, each KKR Investor, Vestar Investor, Centerview Investor and AlpInvest Investor, respectively, agrees to cause (including, prior to a Distribution In Full, by causing the Shareholder to vote, and the Shareholder agrees to vote) all Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by it to be voted by proxy (returned sufficiently in advance of the deadline for proxy voting for the Company to have the reasonable opportunity to verify receipt), on or in accordance with the proxy card mailed by the Company to the shareholders of the Company in connection with the solicitation of any proxy (including, if applicable, through the execution of one or more written consents if shareholders of the Company are requested to vote through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Company), in favor of all those persons nominated to serve as directors of the Company by the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board.

(b) In the event that any of the Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by it is entitled to more than one vote per share pursuant to the Company Articles, with respect to any other action, proposal or other matter to be voted upon by the shareholders of the Company (including through action by written consent and for the avoidance of doubt excluding the action described in paragraph (a) above), then each KKR Investor, Vestar Investor, Centerview Investor and AlpInvest Investor, respectively, agrees to take (including, prior to a Distribution In Full, by causing the Shareholder to take, and the Shareholder agrees to take) such steps as may be reasonably necessary and practicable to exercise no more than one vote per Voting Security Beneficially Owned by it and shall not certify or otherwise assert to the Company or any other Person (on any proxy card or otherwise) that it is entitled to more than one vote per Voting Security Beneficially Owned by it.

1.4 Termination of Rights.

(a) Immediately upon the occurrence of any KKR Observer Termination Event, all obligations of the Company with respect to KKR and any KKR Observer pursuant to this Article I shall forever terminate and, from and after any KKR Observer Termination Event, the KKR Investors shall no longer have a right to designate an Observer.

1.5 Information Rights.

(a) Subject in all respects to Section 1.1(d) and Section 1.5(b), prior to a KKR Observer Termination Event, a Vestar Observer Termination Event or a Centerview Observer Termination Event, as applicable, the Company and its Subsidiaries will prepare and provide, or cause to be prepared and provided, to the KKR Observer, Vestar Observer and Centerview Observer (in each case in his or her capacity as such), if any, any information, and access to any information, relating to the management, operations and finances of the Company and its Subsidiaries as and when provided to non-management directors of the Company.

(b) In furtherance of and not in limitation of any other similar agreement such party or any of its Representatives or Affiliates may have with the Company or its Subsidiaries or Cupid or its Affiliates, the Shareholder and each of the Investors hereby agrees that all Confidential Information with respect to the Company, its Subsidiaries and its and their businesses, finances and operations shall be kept confidential by it and its applicable Observer and shall not be disclosed by it or its applicable Observer in any manner whatsoever, except as expressly permitted by this Section 1.5(b).

the avoidance of doubt, not those described in clause (w)), collectively, for purposes of this Section 1.5(b) and the definition of Confidential Information, “Representatives”), in each case, solely if and to the extent any Representative needs to be provided such Confidential Information to assist such Investor (or its Affiliates) or, in the case of the Investors, any Investor Related Persons, as applicable, in evaluating or reviewing its direct or indirect investment in the Company, including in connection with the disposition thereof, and each Representative of an Investor shall be deemed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 1.5(b) (provided, that with respect to Investor Related Persons, such Persons shall instead be deemed to be bound by any confidentiality agreement or obligation to which such Person is a party or is otherwise bound, to the extent such agreement or obligation has restrictions substantially similar to (and no less restrictive, in any material respect, than) this Section 1.5(b)) and such Investor shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 1.5(b) by any such Representative to the same extent as if such breach had been committed by the applicable Investor; provided, further, that the Investor and its Representatives shall maintain adequate procedures to prevent such information from being used in connection with the purchase or sale of securities of the Company;

(d) Without limiting any other provision of this Article II, each of the Shareholder, the KKR Investors, the Vestar Investors and the Centerview Investors, as applicable, agrees to use reasonable efforts to inform the Company as promptly as practicable of such Shareholder’s or Investor’s plans for disposition of the Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by such Shareholder or Investor, following such time as such plans become known to such Investor; provided, that, in no event shall the failure to provide any such information to the Company prevent any such Investor from making any such Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder. Each of the Shareholder, the KKR Investors, the Vestar Investors and the Centerview Investors, as applicable, agrees to provide written notification to the Company within five (5) Business Days after the end of each month in which it has Transferred any Voting Securities, including the number of Voting Securities Transferred by such Shareholder or Investor during the previous month and (other than in the case of a Transfer effected solely through a bona fide Underwritten Offering pursuant to an exercise of the registration rights provided in Article V of this Agreement or through a bona fide sale to the public without registration effectuated pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act in which the identity of the transferees is not reasonably ascertainable) the identity of any transferee; provided, that any public disclosure (including pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act) regarding a Transfer will be deemed to have satisfied all of the Investors’ notification obligations pursuant to this sentence with respect to such Transfer.

(e) Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of Voting Securities in violation of this Section 2.1 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall not, and shall instruct its transfer agent and other third parties not to, record or recognize any such purported transaction on the share register of the Company.

-8-

(f) With respect to the Shareholder and any Investor, any certificates for Shares shall bear a legend or legends (and appropriate comparable notations or other arrangements will be made with respect to any uncertificated shares) referencing restrictions on Transfer of such Shares under the Securities Act and under this Agreement, which legend shall state in substance:

“The securities evidenced by this certificate may not be offered or sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act,”), (ii) to the extent applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar rule under the Securities Act relating to the disposition of securities), or (iii) pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer set forth in a Shareholders Agreement dated as of February 3, 2015, among the Company and certain other parties thereto (a copy of which is on file with the Secretary of the Company).”

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (f), the holder of any certificate(s) for Shares shall be entitled to receive from the Company new certificates for a like number of Shares not bearing such legend (or the elimination or termination of such notations or arrangements) upon the request of such holder (i) at such time as such restrictions are no longer applicable, and (ii) with respect to the restriction on Transfer of such Shares under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws of any other foreign, federal, state, local or other jurisdiction (a “Foreign or State Act”), unless such Shares are sold pursuant to a registration statement, subject to delivery of an opinion of counsel to such holder, which opinion is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and its counsel, that the restriction referenced in such legend (or such notations or arrangements) is no longer required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act or any such other applicable Foreign or State Act.

Each such written request shall comply with the requirements of a Demand as set forth in this Section 5.1(b).

-20-

(f) The Company shall be entitled to postpone (upon written notice to the Demand Shareholders) the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for any Demand Registration in the event of a Blackout Period until the expiration of the applicable Blackout Period.

(b) If, in connection with a Piggyback Registration that involves an Underwritten Offering, the lead managing underwriter(s) advises the Company that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all the shares of Company Common Stock sought to be included in such Piggyback Registration by (i) the Company, (ii) other Persons who have sought to have shares of Company Common Stock 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 or any other Investor with respect to its Registrable Securities (such Persons, collectively, being “Other Demanding Sellers”), (iii) the Piggyback Sellers and (iv) any other proposed sellers of shares of Company Common Stock (such Persons being “Other Proposed Sellers”), as the case may be, would adversely affect the success thereof, then the Company shall include in the registration statement applicable to such Piggyback Registration only such shares of Company Common Stock as the Company is so advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) 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 shares of Company Common Stock 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 shares of Company Common Stock sought to be registered by Other Demanding Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Piggyback Sellers and the number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Other Demanding Sellers, and (C) third, shares of Company Common Stock sought to be registered by Other Proposed Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Other Proposed Sellers; or

-22-

(c) For clarity, in connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Section 5.2 for the Company’s account, the Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Piggyback Seller in the Underwritten Offering unless such Piggyback Seller accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s), which shall be selected by the Company.

(d) If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any shares of Company Common Stock as set forth in this Section 5.2, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such shares of Company Common Stock, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Piggyback Sellers within five (5) Business Days thereof and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such particular withdrawn or abandoned Piggyback Registration; provided, that Demand Shareholders may continue the registration as a Demand Registration subject to the terms of Section 5.1.

5.3 Shelf Registration Statement.

(a) From and after the expiration of the Restricted Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and further subject to the availability of a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto (“Form S-3”) to the Company, any of the Demand Shareholders may by written notice delivered to the Company (the “Shelf Notice”) require the Company to file as soon as reasonably practicable, and to use reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing date, a Form S-3 providing for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an amount of Registrable Securities then held by such Demand Shareholders that equals or is greater than the Registrable Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that upon the expiration of the Restricted Period the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), a Shelf Notice shall not be required and the Company shall file, in order that such Shelf Registration Statement is effective upon the expiration of the Restricted Period, the Shelf Registration Statement in the form of an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) or any successor form thereto registering all Registrable Securities then held by such Demand Shareholders. In lieu of filing a Shelf Registration Statement following the delivery of a Shelf Notice pursuant to this Section 5.3(a), the Company may, at its option, elect to satisfy its obligations under this Section 5.3(a) by registering such Registrable Securities on the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by Section 5.7 of the Merger Agreement in connection with the Closing, it being understood that, notwithstanding any such election by the Company or anything herein to the contrary, no Demand Shareholder shall be entitled to deliver a Take-Down Notice until the expiration of the Restricted Period, and the Transfer restrictions contained in Article II shall continue to apply in all respects in accordance with their terms.

(c) Subject to Section 5.3(d), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) five (5) years after the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective; (ii) 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 cease to be Registrable Securities; and (iii) the date on which this agreement terminates pursuant to Section 7.1.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities who elected to participate in the Shelf Registration Statement, to require such holders of Registrable Securities to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement during any Blackout Period. In the event of a Blackout Period under clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the Company shall deliver to the Demand Shareholders requesting registration a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company certifying that the conditions described in clause (ii) of the definition of Blackout Period are met. After the expiration of any Blackout Period and without any further request from a holder of Registrable Securities, the Company to the extent necessary shall as promptly as reasonably 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.

(e) At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if any Demand Shareholder delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to sell all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the Shelf Registration Statement in an Underwritten Offering (a “Shelf Offering”), then, the Company shall promptly amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering (taking into account, solely in connection with a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering, the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other holders pursuant to this Section 5.3). In connection with any Shelf Offering that is an Underwritten Offering and where the plan of distribution set forth in the applicable Take-Down Notice includes a customary “road show” (including an “electronic road show”) involving substantial marketing efforts by the Company and the underwriters (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering”):

(i) the Company shall forward the Take-Down Notice to all other holders of Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration Statement and the Company and such proposing Demand Shareholder(s) shall permit each such holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration Statement in the Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering if such holder notifies the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) and the Company within five (5) days after delivery of the Take-Down Notice to such holder; and

-24-

(ii) if the lead managing underwriter(s) advises the Company and the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities sought to be sold in connection with such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering would adversely affect the success thereof, then there shall be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering only such securities as the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) is advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such adverse effect, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated in the same manner as described in Section 5.1(g). Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Section 5.3, any Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering (but no other Shelf Offering) shall be subject to the same requirements, limitations and other provisions of this Article V as would be applicable to a Demand Registration (i.e., as if such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering were a Demand Registration), including Section 5.1(e)(ii) (provided that the references therein to six (6) months shall be deemed references to four (4) months) and Section 5.1(g).

5.4 Withdrawal Rights. Any holder of Registrable Securities 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 (subject to the other terms and conditions 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 Demand Shareholder seeking to register Registrable Securities notice to such effect and, within ten (10) days following the mailing of such notice, such Demand Shareholders still seeking registration shall, by written notice to the Company, elect to register additional Registrable Securities to satisfy the Registrable Amount or elect that such registration statement not be filed or, if theretofore filed, be withdrawn. During such ten (10) 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 reasonable best efforts to prevent, the effectiveness thereof.

5.5 Holdback Agreements. In connection with any Underwritten Offering, each Demand Shareholder agrees to enter into customary agreements restricting the public sale or distribution of equity securities of the Company (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to the extent required in writing by the lead managing underwriter(s) with respect to an applicable Underwritten Offering during the period commencing on the date of the request (which shall be no earlier than fourteen (14) days prior to the expected “pricing” of such Underwritten Offering) and continuing for not more than sixty (60) days after the date of the

-25-

“final” prospectus (or “final” prospectus supplement if the Underwritten Offering is made pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement), pursuant to which such Underwritten Offering shall be made, or such lesser period as is required by the lead managing underwriter(s). Any discretionary waiver or termination of the requirements under the foregoing provisions made by the applicable lead managing underwriter(s) shall apply to each holder of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis.

If any Demand Registration or Shelf Offering involves an Underwritten Offering, the Company will not effect any public sale or distribution of any common equity (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common equity) (other than a registration statement on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto) for its own account, within sixty (60) days, after the effective date of such registration except as may otherwise be agreed between the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s) of such Underwritten Offering.

5.6 Registration Procedures.

(xii) as promptly as practicable notify in writing the Selling Shareholder and the underwriters, if any, of the following events: (A) the filing of the registration statement, any amendment thereto, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to the registration statement or any Free Writing Prospectus utilized in connection therewith, and, with respect to the registration statement or any post-effective

(xiii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest reasonable practicable date, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to (A) qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this clause (xiii) be obligated to be so qualified, (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(xiv) cooperate with the Selling Shareholders and the lead managing underwriter(s) to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (which shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required under Applicable Law) representing securities sold under any registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the lead managing underwriter(s) or such Selling Shareholders 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;

-30-

(xv) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA; and

(xvi) have appropriate officers of the Company prepare and make presentations at a reasonable and customary number of “road shows” and before analysts and rating agencies, as the case may be, and other information meetings reasonably organized by the underwriters and otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate as reasonably requested by the Selling Shareholders and the underwriters in the offering, marketing or selling of the Registrable Securities.

(b) The Company may require each Selling Shareholder and each underwriter, if any, to furnish the Company in writing such information regarding each Selling Shareholder or underwriter and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing to complete or amend the information required by such registration statement. Each Selling Shareholder shall as promptly as practicable notify in writing the Company and the underwriters, if any, with respect to any registered offering of Registrable Securities if at any time, such Selling Shareholder becomes aware that the representations and warranties of the Selling Shareholder contained in any mutual agreement (including any underwriting agreement) cease to be true and correct in any material respect and upon becoming aware of the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such registration statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, to the extent based on information provided by such Selling Shareholder, to be untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such registration statement, prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the registration statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent based on information provided by such Selling Shareholder.

(c) Each Selling Shareholder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in clauses (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) of Section 5.6(a)(xii), such Selling Shareholder shall forthwith discontinue such Selling Shareholder’s disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable registration statement and prospectus relating thereto until such Selling Shareholder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 5.6(a)(xi), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such prospectus; provided, however, that the Company shall extend the time periods under Section 5.1(c) with respect to the length of time that the effectiveness of a registration statement must be maintained by the amount of time the holder is required to discontinue disposition of such securities.

-31-

(i) use reasonable best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

(ii) use reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act, at any time when the Company is subject to such reporting requirements; and

(iii) furnish to any holder so long as the holder owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and of the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed or furnished by the Company with the Commission as such holder may reasonably request in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without registration (in each case to the extent not readily publicly available).

5.7 Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of its obligations under this Article V, including (a) all registration and filing fees, including all fees and expenses of compliance with securities and “blue sky” laws (including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with “blue sky” qualifications of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 5.6(a)(v)) and all fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with FINRA (including, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” as such term is defined in FINRA Rule 5121), (b) all printing (including expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested by a holder of Registrable Securities) and copying expenses, (c) all messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (d) all fees and expenses of the Company’s independent certified public accountants and counsel (including with respect to “comfort” letters and opinions), (e) expenses of the Company incurred in connection with any “road show” and (f) reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one counsel for all holders of Registrable Securities whose shares are included in a registration statement, which counsel shall be selected by, in the case of a Demand Registration, the Requesting Shareholders, in the case of a Shelf Offering, the Demand Shareholder(s) requesting such offering, or in the case of any other registration, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith, shall be borne solely by the Company whether or not any registration statement is filed or becomes effective. In connection with the Company’s

-32-

performance of its obligations under this Article V, the Company will pay its internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties and the expense of any annual audit) and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange and included in each established over-the-counter market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or traded. Each Selling Shareholder shall pay its portion of all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale of such Selling Shareholder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration.

5.8 Miscellaneous.

(a) Not less than five (5) Business Days before the expected filing date of each registration statement pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall notify each holder of Registrable Securities who has timely provided the requisite notice hereunder entitling such holder to register Registrable Securities in such registration statement of the information, documents and instruments from such holder that the Company or any underwriter reasonably requests in connection with such registration statement, including 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 second Business Day before the expected filing date, the Requested Information from such holder, the Company may file the registration statement without including Registrable Securities of such holder. The failure to so include in any registration statement the Registrable Securities of a holder of Registrable Securities (with regard to that registration statement) shall not result in any liability on the part of the Company to such holder.

(b) The Company shall not grant any demand, piggyback or shelf registration rights the terms of which conflict with or are senior to the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder to any other Person without the prior written consent of Demand Shareholders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities then held by all Demand Shareholders.

5.9 Registration Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Selling Shareholder and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such Selling Shareholder or such other indemnified Person and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents of each such controlling Person, each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such underwriter, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, the “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which

-33-

they were made, not misleading and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 5.9(a)) will reimburse each such Selling Shareholder, each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents and each such Person who controls each such Selling Shareholder and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents of each such controlling Person, each such underwriter and each such Person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by any information furnished in writing to the Company by any other party expressly for use therein.

(b) In connection with any registration statement in which a Selling Shareholder is participating each such Selling Shareholder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors and officers, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 5.9(b)) will reimburse the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, in each case solely to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Selling Shareholder for inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Shareholder shall be liable under this Section 5.9(b) for amounts in excess of the net proceeds received by such holder in the offering giving rise to such liability.

(c) 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 actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis.

(d) 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, 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 and acknowledging the obligations of the indemnifying party with respect to such proceeding, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to

-34-

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 and, as a result, a conflict of interest exists or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the reasonable expenses incurred in connection with retaining one separate legal counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, for all indemnified parties in connection therewith)). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any such assumption by an indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such matter and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party except as provided in the previous sentence. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement (x) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation, (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (z) does not involve any injunctive or equitable relief that would be binding on the indemnified party or any payment that is not covered by the indemnification hereunder.

(e) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall survive the Transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this Agreement.

(f) 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 such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, 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

-35-

foregoing, no Selling Shareholder shall be required to make a contribution in excess of the amount received by such Selling Shareholder from its sale of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation.
