| 10 |

Each Seller shall have the right (a “Piggyback Rights”) to include in such registration all or a portion of such Seller’s Registrable Securities, by delivering written notice to New ParentCo within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a Piggyback Notice.
7.5 Underwriting Requirements.
(a) If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Offering”), they shall so advise New ParentCo as a part of its request made pursuant to Section 7.3. The underwriter(s) for such Underwritten Offering will be selected by the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities in such Underwritten Offering (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the exercise of any Piggyback Rights) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) for such Underwritten Offering.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.5, if the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Demanding Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of New ParentCo Shares to be included in any Underwritten Offering, then the Demanding Holders shall so advise all Holders that otherwise would be included in such Underwritten Offering pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be allocated among such Holders of Registrable Securities as follows:
(i) first, ratably among the Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders; provided, that if the allocation pursuant to this clause (i) exceeds the number of Registrable Securities any Holder desires to sell, then the excess shall be reallocated among the other Holders in the same manner until all of the Registrable Securities that are available for sale are allocated to the Holders who wish to sell;
(ii) second, all New ParentCo Shares proposed to be registered pursuant to any piggyback registration rights of stockholders of New ParentCo other than any Holder; and
(iii) third, New ParentCo.
7.6 Obligations of New ParentCo. Whenever required under this Section 7 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, New ParentCo shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and keep such Registration Statement effective until there are no more Registrable Securities;
| 12 |
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement;
(c) furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities;
(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided that New ParentCo shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless New ParentCo is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;
(e) in the event of any Underwritten Offering, execute a customary underwriting agreement and “lock-up” agreement, and cause each of its executive officers and directors (and, to the extent requested by the applicable managing underwriter, use reasonable best efforts to cause each of its significant stockholders) to execute a “lock-up” agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter(s);
(f) furnish to the managing underwriter(s) customary comfort letters from New ParentCo’s independent certified public accountants;
(g) furnish to the managing underwriter(s) customary legal opinions of New ParentCo’s outside counsel;
(h) make appropriate personnel of New ParentCo reasonably available to participate in customary “road shows” and other marketing activities;
(i) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by New ParentCo are then listed;
(j) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;
(k) promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any managing underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of New ParentCo, and cause New ParentCo’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such Registration Statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;
| 13 |
(l) notify each selling Holder, promptly after New ParentCo receives notice thereof, of the time when such Registration Statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement has been filed;
(m) after such Registration Statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any request by the SEC that New ParentCo amend or supplement such Registration Statement or prospectus; and
(n) if New ParentCo is a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian Securities Laws, if required to do so, use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the Registrable Securities for distribution in those provinces and territories of Canada in which New ParentCo is a reporting issuer, as reasonably requested by the selling Holder, including by preparing and filing any prospectus, prospectus supplement, or other document required to be filed under applicable Canadian Securities Laws in connection with such distribution.
7.7 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of New ParentCo to take any action pursuant to this Section 7 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to New ParentCo such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.
7.8 Expenses of Registration. New ParentCo shall bear all costs and expenses incidental to New ParentCo’s performance of or compliance with the registration rights set forth in this Section 7, including all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the qualification or filing of Registrable Securities for distribution under applicable Canadian Securities Laws (including any fees payable to Canadian securities regulatory authorities in connection therewith), printing expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for New ParentCo and fees and expenses of New ParentCo’s independent certified public accountants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, New ParentCo shall not be required to pay: (i) any underwriting discounts and commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities; (ii) any transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities; or (iii) any fees of advisors or counsel of any Sellers in connection therewith, each of which will be borne by the applicable Seller.
7.9 Indemnification.
(a) To the extent permitted by law, New ParentCo shall indemnify and hold harmless each Seller and its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, members, partners, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus filed in the U.S. or Canada), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus; or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein 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; provided, however, that New ParentCo shall not be liable to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to New ParentCo by or on behalf of any Seller expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement (“Selling Stockholder Information”).
| 14 |
(b) Each Seller shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless New ParentCo and its directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives from and against any Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is made in reliance upon and in conformity with Selling Stockholder Information; provided, however, that the liability of each Seller under this Section 7.9(b) shall not exceed the net proceeds (after deducting underwriter discounts and commissions) received by such Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation (“Selling Stockholder Proceeds”).
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a 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 7.9, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume 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 separate counsel, with the 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 between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 7.9, only to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7.9.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in Sections 7.9(a) or 7.9(b) is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any Losses, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses 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 Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.9(d), in no event shall a Seller be required to contribute any amount in excess of its Selling Stockholder Proceeds.
| 15 |
(e) The obligations of New ParentCo and Holders under this Section 7.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 7, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement or any provision(s) of this Agreement.
7.10 Rule 144 Cooperation. New ParentCo covenants that, at all times following the Closing, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) cooperate with the Sellers in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including by providing customary instruction letters and legal opinions to New ParentCo’s transfer agent, and such other cooperation as may reasonably be requested; and (b) take all actions reasonably necessary to enable the removal of restrictive legends from certificates (or book-entry notations) evidencing the Registrable Securities of the Sellers in connection with a sale of Registrable Securities that is made pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or in compliance with Rule 144.
7.11 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. New ParentCo shall not grant to any third party registration rights that are senior to, or on parity with, the registration rights granted to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 7, without the prior written consent of each Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to and without limiting the Sellers’ rights under Section 7.1, New ParentCo may elect to register the Exchangeable Shares on the Shelf Registration Statement.
8. Term; Termination.
8.1 This Agreement shall become effective upon the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest of: (a) the date after the Support Period on which all Sellers have ceased to hold any New ParentCo Shares; (b) the written agreement of all Parties to terminate this Agreement; or (c) with respect to any particular Seller, the date on which the Support Period has expired and such Seller no longer holds any Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 7.9 (Indemnification) herein, this Section 8 (Term; Termination), and Section 9 (Miscellaneous) herein shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
9. Miscellaneous.
9.1 Successors and Assigns. No Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that each Seller may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate to whom such Seller Transfers New ParentCo Shares in accordance with Section 6.2 herein, provided that such Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. For the purposes of determining the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by a transferee, the holdings of a transferee (1) that is an Affiliate or stockholder of a Holder; (2) who is a Holder’s Immediate Family Member; or (3) that is a trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or such Holder’s Immediate Family Member shall be aggregated together and with those of the transferring Holder. The terms and conditions of this Agreement inure to the benefit of and are binding upon the respective successors and permitted assignees of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assignees any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.
| 16 |
