7.8   Integration of Agreement.

As to any dispute or Litigation arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or the transaction at issue in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree and consent to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. If jurisdiction is not present in federal court, then the Parties hereby agree and consent to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York County, New York. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, (a) any objection that it may now or hereafter have to laying venue of any Litigation brought in such court, (b) any claim that any Litigation brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (c) any defense that it may now or hereafter have based on lack of personal jurisdiction in such forum.

7.11   Partial Invalidity.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision or provisions had never been contained herein unless the deletion of such provision or provisions would result in such a material change as to cause completion of the transactions contemplated hereby to be unreasonable. To the extent the deemed deletion of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as practicable to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

7.13   Specific Enforcement.

The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

Exhibit B

Registration and Other Rights

1.      Shelf Registration Rights.

(a)    Shelf Registration. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Issuer shall prepare and file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of all Registrable Securities then outstanding or issuable pursuant to this Agreement. The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable after filing, and in no event later than the earlier of (A) sixty (60) days after filing (or ten (10) business days after the date on which Issuer is notified by the Commission that the Shelf Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is not subject to further review) and (B) one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be obligated to file a Shelf Registration Statement if the Issuer shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Issuer’s Chief Executive Officer stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board (as evidenced by a written resolution of the Board), it would not be in the best interests of the Issuer and its stockholders generally for such Shelf Registration Statement to be filed, in which event the Issuer shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after the otherwise applicable filing deadline; *provided *that such right shall be exercised by the Issuer not more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.

(b)   Earnings Window Deferral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1, the Issuer shall not be required to file any Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or supplement thereto, or request acceleration of effectiveness thereof, and may suspend the use of any Shelf Registration Statement and any related prospectus, during the period beginning on the date that is fifteen (15) days prior to, and ending on the date that is two (2) Business Days following, the filing by the Issuer of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as applicable, for the applicable fiscal quarter or fiscal year. Any deferral or suspension pursuant to this Section 1(b) shall be in addition to, and shall not be deemed to be a utilization of, the Issuer’s deferral and suspension rights set forth in Section 1(a) or under Section 1(f).

(c)    Obligations of the Issuer. Whenever required to effect a Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 1, the Issuer shall, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:

(i)     prepare and file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective, and keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of (A) such time as all Registrable Securities registered thereunder have been sold, and (B) such time as all Registrable Securities covered thereby may be sold without restriction under SEC Rule 144;

(ii)   prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such amendment and supplement to become effective, as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement;

(iii)    furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;

(iv)     use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such states and jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Issuer shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business, subject itself to taxation or file a general consent to service of process in any such state or jurisdiction unless already subject thereto;

B-1

(v)   notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Issuer receives notice thereof, of (A) the time when such Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part thereof has been filed, (B) any request by the Commission that the Issuer amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus, and (C) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Shelf Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare and file such amendments and supplements as may be required on account of such event; and

(vi)     apply for listing and use its reasonable best efforts to list the Registrable Securities being registered on any national securities exchange on which such class of the Issuer’s equity securities is then listed.

(d)   Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Issuer to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 in respect of the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such selling Holder shall furnish to the Issuer such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer in connection with such Shelf Registration.

(e)    Expenses. The Issuer shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 1, including, without limitation, all registration, filing and qualification fees, printing and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Issuer and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (up to a maximum amount of $15,000).

(f)     Suspension. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer may suspend the use of any Shelf Registration Statement and any related prospectus if the Issuer shall have furnished to the Holders of Registrable Securities included on such Shelf Registration Statement a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board (as evidenced by a written resolution of the Board), because of valid business reasons (including, without limitation, any proposal or plan of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries to effect a merger, acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or other transaction, or because of required disclosure or filings with the Commission), it is in the best interests of the Issuer to suspend such use, and prior to suspending such use the Issuer provides the affected Holders with written notice of such suspension (which notice need not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such suspension); provided that (A) no single suspension period under this provision shall exceed forty-five (45) days, (B) the aggregate number of days during which the Issuer may exercise any combination of deferral and suspension rights under this Section 1 shall not exceed ninety (90) days in any twelve (12)-month period, and (C) the Issuer shall not be permitted to exercise any such right more than twice in any twelve (12)-month period. Upon receipt of such notice, each Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Holder is advised in writing by the Issuer that the related prospectus may be used, which notice the Issuer agrees to provide promptly following the lapse of the event or circumstances giving rise to such suspension. Each such Holder shall keep confidential any communications received by it from the Issuer regarding the suspension of the use of a Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus (including the fact of the suspension), except as required by applicable law.

B-2

(g)   Indemnification and Contribution.

(i)     To the extent permitted by law, the Issuer will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each Holder, legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder, and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or other aforementioned Person within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each, a “Violation”): (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Shelf Registration Statement (including any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto) or any issuer information (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act; (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made in the case of any prospectus, not misleading; or (C) any violation or alleged violation by the Issuer of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state or federal securities law; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be liable to a Holder to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon a statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein. The Issuer will promptly reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as incurred. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1(g)(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Issuer be liable to a Holder in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon (A) a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer expressly for use in such registration by or on behalf of such Holder or (B) in the case of a sale directly by a Holder of Registrable Securities, an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission that was contained in a preliminary prospectus and corrected in a final, amended or supplemented prospectus (including a free writing prospectus) delivered to such Holder a reasonable period of time prior to the time of such sale, and such Holder failed to deliver a copy of such final, amended or supplemented prospectus (including a free writing prospectus) at or prior to the time of sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability in any case in which the delivery of such final, amended or supplemented prospectus (including a free writing prospectus) would have eliminated such loss, claim, damage or liability

(ii)   Each Holder that includes any Registrable Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement will furnish to the Issuer in writing such information as the Issuer reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, and each Person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act, each other selling Holder and each Person, if any, who controls a selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Issuer or any such director, officer, Holder or controlling Person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in such registration, and each such Holder will promptly reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably and actually incurred by the Issuer or any such director, officer, Holder or controlling Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action, as incurred; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder hereunder shall be limited to the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any underwriting discounts, commissions or other selling expenses); and provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1(g)(ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor, in the case of a sale directly by the Issuer of its securities (including a sale of such securities through any underwriter retained by the Issuer to engage in a distribution solely on behalf of the Issuer), shall the Holder be liable to the Issuer in any case in which such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was contained in a preliminary prospectus and corrected in a final, amended or supplemented prospectus (including a free writing prospectus), and the Issuer or such underwriter failed to deliver a copy of such final, amended or supplemented prospectus (including a free writing prospectus) at or prior to the time of sale of the securities to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability and the delivery of such final, amended or supplemented prospectus (including a free writing prospectus) would have eliminated such loss, claim, damage or liability. The obligations of the Holders hereunder are several, not joint.

B-3

(iii)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1(g) of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which the party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1(g), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume and control the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one (1) separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests, as reasonably determined by either party, between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1(g) to the extent, and only to the extent, of such prejudice.

(iv)     In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (A) any indemnified party exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling Person of any such indemnified party, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 1(g) but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 1(g) provides for indemnification in such case, or (B) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such indemnifying party or any such controlling Person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 1(g), then, and in each such case, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damages or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damages or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that no contribution by any Holder, when combined with any other amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to this Section 1(g), shall exceed the aggregate net proceeds received by such Holder in the offering out of which such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arose. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and 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 or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall such Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 1(g)(iv), when combined with any amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 1(g)(ii), exceed proceeds received by such Holder from the offering out of which the loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arose (net of any underwriting discounts, commissions or other selling expenses)

(h)   Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Issuer to the public without registration, and with a view to making it possible for Holders to have the resale of the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3, the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to:

(i)     make and keep adequate public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, for so long as the Issuer is subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

B-4

(ii)   take such action as is necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities; and

(iii)    file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Issuer under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

(i)     Termination of Registration Rights. The registration obligations of the Issuer pursuant to this Section 1 shall terminate with respect to any Holder on the first date upon which all of the remaining Registrable Securities then held or issuable to such Holder (together with any Affiliate of such Holder) could be sold without restriction under SEC Rule 144.

2.      ROFO Rights.

(a)    Sale of New Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2, each Purchaser shall have the right to purchase up to its pro rata share (based on its beneficial ownership of the then-outstanding Class A Common Stock on a fully diluted basis) of all issuances of equity or securities convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for equity in the Issuer from the Closing Date to the earliest of (i) the third (3rd) anniversary of the date of the Closing Date, (ii) the date such Purchaser and its Affiliates collectively beneficially own less than three percent (3.0%) of the shares of Class A Common Stock purchased by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined below), if at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, the Issuer makes any public or non-public offering of any equity securities (including Class A Common Stock or preferred shares, options or debt that is convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for equity securities or that includes an equity component, such as an “equity” kicker, including any hybrid security) (any such security, a “New Security”)) for cash (other than (i) pursuant to the granting of employee equity awards, in each case in the ordinary course of equity compensation awards or stock purchase plans or dividend reinvestment plans, (ii) issuances for the purposes of consideration in acquisition transactions, (iii) issuances of Class A Common Stock pursuant to at-the-market offering, equity line of credit and similar programs, (iv) issuances in connection with any rights offering to all stockholders of the Issuer on a pro-rata basis, (v) issuances upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any outstanding convertible securities, warrants or options existing as of the date hereof or issued after the date hereof in compliance with this Agreement, (vi) issuances pursuant to the Equity Interest Payment Agreement between the Issuer and the Affiliates of Atlas or (v) issuances pursuant to the Sponsor Incentive (as defined in the Other Investor Rights Agreements). Each Purchaser shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Issuer for the same price and on the same terms as such New Securities are proposed to be offered to others, up to the amount of New Securities in the aggregate required to enable it to maintain its then proportionate Class A Common Stock-equivalent interest. The amount of New Securities that each Purchaser shall be entitled to purchase in the aggregate shall be determined by multiplying (A) the total number of such offered shares of New Securities by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by such Purchaser, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Class A Common Stock then outstanding on a fully diluted basis (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock). For purposes of this Section 2, “Change of Control” means any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets, or any other transaction or series of related transactions as a result of which any Person or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than any Purchaser and its Affiliates acquires beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Issuer’s then-outstanding securities.

(b)   Notice. In the event the Issuer proposes to offer New Securities, it shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice describing in reasonable detail the material terms of the proposed offering, including the type of securities proposed to be sold, the aggregate amount sought to be raised, the aggregate amount that such Purchaser has the right to purchase, the anticipated pricing methodology, the anticipated closing timeline and the other material terms upon which the Issuer proposes to offer the same, no later than ten (10) business days prior to the commencement of such offer or sale, as the case may be, or six (6) business days prior to the commencement of such offer in the case of an underwritten public offering of Class A Common Stock or preferred shares on an “overnight” or equivalent expedited offering (an “Expedited Offering”). Each Purchaser shall have seven (7) business days (four (4) business days in the case of an Expedited Offering) from the date of receipt of such a notice to notify the Issuer in writing that it intends to exercise such purchase rights and as to the amount of New Securities such Purchaser desires to purchase. Such notice shall constitute a non-binding indication of interest to purchase the amount of New Securities so specified at the price and other terms set forth in the Issuer’s notice to it. The failure of a Purchaser to respond within such seven (7) business day period (or four (4) business day period in the case of an Expedited Offering) shall be deemed to be a waiver of the rights under this Section 2 only with respect to the offering described in the applicable notice.

B-5

(c)    Purchase Mechanism. If rights are exercised pursuant to this Section 2, the closing of the purchase of the New Securities with respect to which such right has been exercised shall occur simultaneously with the closing of the applicable offering or as promptly as practicable thereafter, subject to receipt of any required regulatory or stockholder approval. The Issuer may consummate the applicable offering before any Purchaser’s purchase if delaying the offering would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Issuer or the financing, in which case the Issuer shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such Purchaser with a post-closing opportunity to purchase its applicable portion of the New Securities on the same terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law and listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market or the national securities exchange on which the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock is then listed. The Issuer and each Purchaser agree to use their reasonable best efforts to secure any regulatory or other consents or stockholder approval, and to comply with any law or regulation necessary in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of, such New Securities.

(d)   Failure of Purchase. In the event rights provided in this Section 2 are not exercised within the prescribed period or, if so exercised, any Purchaser is unable to consummate such purchase within the time period specified in Section 2(c) above, the Issuer shall thereafter be entitled during the period of sixty (60) days following the conclusion of the applicable period to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of the New Securities covered thereby shall be consummated, if at all, within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement) to sell the New Securities not elected to be purchased pursuant to this Section 2 or that any Purchaser is unable to purchase because of such failure to obtain any such consent or approval, at a price per security not less than the price specified in the Issuer’s notice to each Purchaser and on terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those set forth in such notice. In the event the terms upon which the New Securities are proposed to be offered to third parties are materially more favorable to such third parties than those specified in the Issuer’s notice to any Purchaser, the Issuer shall promptly provide written notice to such Purchaser of such revised terms, and such Purchaser shall have seven (7) business days following receipt of such notice to elect to purchase up to its pro rata share of the New Securities at such revised, more favorable terms. If any Purchaser elects to participate, the closing shall occur simultaneously with, or promptly following, the closing with such third parties. If such Purchaser does not elect to participate within such seven (7) business day period, the Issuer may proceed to sell the New Securities to such third parties on such revised terms without any further obligation to such Purchaser with respect to such offering. In the event the Issuer has not sold the New Securities or entered into an agreement to sell the New Securities within the sixty (60) day period specified above (or sold and issued New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement), the Issuer shall not thereafter offer, issue or sell such New Securities without first offering such securities to each Purchaser in the manner provided above.
