REGISTRATIONS
2.1Shelf Registration.
2.1.1Shelf Registration Statement. Subject to Section 2.1.3, as soon as practicable but no later than 180 calendar days after the consummation of the Transactions (the “Filing Date”), the Company shall prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to) the Commission a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (such registration statement, the “Shelf Registration Statement”) covering all of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (determined as of two Business Days prior to such filing) for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Shelf Registration”); provided, however, in order to include any Holder to be a selling securityholder in such Registration Statement, the Company shall have received complete Selling Securityholder Information from such Holder at least 10 Business Days prior to the Filing Date. A Holder’s failure to provide Selling Securityholder Information or respond to the Company’s request for information within five Business Days of such request constitutes forfeiture of such Holder’s ability to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement under this Section 2.1.1. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable after the filing thereof and no later than the earlier of (x) 60 calendar days (or 120 calendar days if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Shelf Registration Statement) following the Filing Date and (y) 10 Business Days after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Shelf Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that (i) if the Effectiveness Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that Commission is closed for business, the Effectiveness Date shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business, (ii) if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Date shall be extended by the same amount of Business Days that the Commission remains closed for operations or (iii) if the Commission has not signed off on the Company’s ability to file an acceleration request, the Effectiveness Date shall be extended until such time as the Commission files the effectiveness order. Such Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders named therein; provided, that the parties acknowledge and agree that the sale of any Registrable Securities registered under such Shelf Registration Statement are subject to the OH Lock-up Period, as applicable, and restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws. The Company shall maintain the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and available for use to permit all Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act, such Shelf Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of Registrable Securities as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Registrable Securities or other shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Shelf Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall amend the Shelf Registration Statement or file one or more new Shelf Registration Statement(s) (such amendment or new Shelf Registration Statement shall also be deemed to be a “Shelf Registration Statement” hereunder) to register such additional Registrable Securities, if any remains, and cause such amendment or Shelf Registration Statement(s) to become effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof and no later than the earlier of (x) 30 calendar days (or 120 calendar days if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Shelf Registration Statement) after the filing of such Shelf Registration Statement and (y) 10 Business Days after the date the Company is notified (orally or in


4




writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Shelf Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Additional Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that (i) if such day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business, (ii) if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Date shall be extended by the same number of Business Days that the Commission remains closed for or (iii) if the Commission has not signed off on the Company’s ability to file an acceleration request, the Additional Effectiveness Date shall be extended until such time as the Commission files the effectiveness order. Any failure by the Company to file a Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline or Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect a Registration Statement as set forth in this Section 2.
2.1.2Termination of Registration Rights. The rights of any Holder of Registrable Securities to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall terminate upon the date as of which such Holder is able to sell all of his, her, or its Registrable Securities either (A) pursuant to a Registration Statement, or (B) under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
2.1.3Required Registration Statement Financials. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to take any action under this Section 2.1 unless and until the Company shall have filed the Required Registration Statement Financials. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, prepare and file the Required Registration Statement Financials in accordance with the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable following the closing of the Transactions.
2.1.4Registration Rights With Respect to Earnout Shares. Subject to Section 2.1.3, if, pursuant the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, any portion of the Earnout Shares are issued to the Holders after the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, as soon as practicable but no later than 90 calendar days after the issuance of the Earnout Shares, the Company will prepare and file with the Commission a prospectus supplement, Registration Statement pursuant to Section 462(b) of the Securities Act, post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or new Registration Statement (the “Earnout Supplement”) to include the Selling Securityholders of the Earnout Shares and the Earnout Shares; provided, however, in order to include any Holder in such Earnout Supplement, the Company shall have received complete Selling Securityholder Information from such Holder 10 Business Days prior to the filing date. A Holder’s failure to provide Selling Securityholder Information or respond to the Company’s request for information within five Business Days of such request constitutes forfeiture of such Holder’s ability to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the Shelf Registration Statement under this Section 2.1.4. The Company agrees to a maximum of two Earnout Supplement filings. The Company has the discretion to file one or more new Shelf Registration Statements instead of a Earnout Supplement for the Earnout Shares, following the same procedures are outlined in this Section 2.1.4.
2.2Piggy-back Registration.
2.2.1Piggy-back Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if, at any time beginning at the expiration of the OH Lock-Up Period and ending on the third anniversary of the consummation of the Transactions, the Company proposes or is required to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of shareholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof), other than a Registration Statement filed solely in connection with (i) any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) an exchange offer, as part of a merger, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction or for an offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iii) an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, or (iv) a dividend reinvestment plan (such Registration, a “Piggy-back Registration”), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than 10 days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five Business Days, or two calendar days if the offering is an overnight transaction such as a


5




block-trade, after receipt of such written notice. The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggy-back Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggy-back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this Section 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggy-back Registration at any time in its sole discretion; provided, that the Company shall give written notice of such determination to each Holder of record of Registrable Securities and (i) in the case of the Company’s determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such abandoned registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of Holders under Section 2.1, and (ii) in the case of the Company’s determination to delay such registration of its equity securities, shall be permitted to delay the registration of such Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other equity securities. If any Piggy-back Registration Statement pursuant to which Holders of Registrable Securities have registered the offer and sale of Registrable Securities is a Shelf Registration Statement (a “Piggy-back Shelf Registration Statement”), such Holder(s) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be notified of and to participate in any offering under such Piggy-back Shelf Registration Statement (a “Piggy-back Shelf Takedown”).
2.2.2Reduction of Piggy-back Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggy-back Registration or a Piggy-back Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggy-back Registration or Piggy-back Shelf Take Down in writing that the number of the Company Ordinary Shares that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the Company Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with Persons other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof, and (iii) the Company Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, exceeds the maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price of the equity securities to be sold in such offering (such maximum number of such securities, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then:
(a)If the Piggy-back Registration or a Piggy-back Shelf Takedown is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Piggy-back Registration or a Piggy-back Shelf Takedown (A) first, the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof, allocated pro rata among all such Holders based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Piggy-back Registration or a Piggy-back Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have collectively requested be included in such Piggy-back Registration or a Piggy-back Shelf Takedown (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”), which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Company Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
(b)If the Piggy-back Registration or a Piggy-back Shelf Takedown is pursuant to a request by Persons other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Piggy-back Registration or a Piggy-back Shelf Takedown (A) first, the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting Persons and the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1, allocated pro rata among all such holders based on the respective number of Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities, other than


6




Registrable Securities, (on a fully diluted, as converted basis) and the respective number of Registrable Securities, as applicable, owned by all such holders, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities for the account of other Persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such Persons, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.
2.2.3Piggy-back Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggy-back Registration or Piggy-back Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggy-back Registration or Piggy-back Shelf Takedown prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or Prospectus filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggy-back Registration or Piggy-back Shelf Takedown; provided that such withdrawal shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggy-back Registration or Piggy-back Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this subsection.
2.3Restrictions on Registration Rights. The Company may postpone for up to a hundred (100) days or not more than three (3) times in any three hundred sixty (360) day period the filing or effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement if the Board determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Shelf Registration would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate organization or other similar transaction involving the Company, (ii) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any suspension period under this Section 2.3.
2.4Lock-Up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Piggy-back Registration of any Company Ordinary Shares subject to the OH Lock-Up Period prior to the expiration of the OH Lock-Up Period. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall limit the Company’s obligation to register all of the Registrable Securities on the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1.1(a).

In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities.
3.5Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be reporting under the Exchange Act, covenants to use reasonable best efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including providing any legal opinions or comfort letters. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES
4.1Obligation of Holders. Each Holder of Registrable Securities that sells such securities pursuant to a Registration under this Agreement agrees as follows:
4.1.1Such Holder shall cooperate with the Company (as reasonably requested by the Company) in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, and, for so long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective such Registration Statement, each Holder that is participating in such registration shall provide to the Company, in writing, for use in the applicable Registration Statement, all such information regarding such Holder and its plan of distribution of such securities as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to prepare the Registration Statement and Prospectus covering such securities, to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all applicable requirements of law in connection therewith.
4.1.2During such time as a Holder may be engaged in a distribution of such securities, such Holder shall distribute such securities under the Registration Statement solely in the manner described in the Registration Statement.
4.1.3Information obtained by such Holder or by its agents pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company or its Affiliates unless and until such information is made generally available to the public.
4.1.4Such Holder shall notify the Company as soon as practicable if it becomes aware of the occurrence of any event, development or fact as a result of which a Registration Statement or any prospectus or supplement, as then in effect, contains an untrue statement of a material fact with respect to the Investor Information (as defined below) supplied by such Holder or omits to state any material fact with respect to the Investor Information supplied by such holder required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
ARTICLE V

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
5.1Indemnification.
5.1.1The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, each officer, director, shareholder, partner, manager, member of each such Holder, and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred) in connection with any amount paid in settlement of any action, suit or proceeding to which they become subject to under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, arising out of (i) any untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law in relation to the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement or Prospectus; except to the extent that the same are directly caused by Selling Securityholder Information Misstatements (as defined below) furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder.
5.1.2In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing the Selling Securityholder Information for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, each of its officers, directors, partners, managers, members and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such action or


10




claim as such expenses are incurred) in connection with any amount paid in settlement of any action, suit or proceeding to which they become subject to under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Investor Information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in such Selling Securityholder Information or necessary to make the statements in such Investor Information not misleading (collectively, “Selling Securityholder Information Misstatements”) or any violation by the Holder of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law in relation to the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
5.1.3Any indemnified party herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include 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.
5.1.4The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification, as applicable, is unavailable for any reason.
5.1.5If the indemnification provided under Section 5.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party for any such any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 5.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 5.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
