The Plan of Conversion is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Plan of Conversion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual agreement.

 

Warrant Agreement

 

In connection with the Conversion, the Corporation entered into a warrant agreement, dated July 25, 2014 (the “Warrant Agreement”), with the holders of warrants to purchase Class A Common Units and warrants to purchase Class A Preferred Units of the LLC. The Warrant Agreement sets forth the terms of the warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock of the Corporation into which such warrant holders’ warrants were converted pursuant to the Plan of Conversion.. The warrants are subject to certain transfer restrictions and are immediately exercisable for an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of Class A Common Stock. The warrants expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of the Warrant Agreement.

 

The Warrant Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Warrant Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual agreement.

Each of the directors designated by Oaktree have two votes on each matter until Oaktree ceases to beneficially own at least 70.0% of the number of shares of common stock it will hold immediately following the consummation of the initial public offering. These director designees will be voted upon by our stockholders.

 

In addition, for so long as Oaktree beneficially owns at least one-third of the number of shares of common stock it held immediately following the consummation of the initial public offering, each FiveWire Holder will take all necessary actions to cause the election of such Oaktree director designees.

 

Furthermore, pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, each FiveWire Holder granted to Oaktree an irrevocable proxy to vote their shares of Class B common stock, which shall remain in effect for so long as Oaktree beneficially owns at least 50% of the number of shares of common stock it held immediately following the

 

 
 

 

consummation of the initial public offering. Such proxy is assignable by Oaktree to any single transferee, or group of affiliated transferees, of all of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by Oaktree immediately following the consummation of this offering.

Prior to due presentation for registration of transfer, the Company and any agent of the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Warrant Certificates are registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone), and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary or be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or an interest in any Warrants on the part of any other Person and shall not be liable for any registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates that are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such

 

5
 

 

registration of transfer or with such knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith. When Warrant Certificates are presented to the Company with a request to register the transfer thereof or to exchange them for an equal number of Warrant Certificates of other authorized denominations, the Company shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if the requirements of this Agreement for such transaction are met, and shall execute any Warrant Certificates necessary to reflect such transfer or exchange. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection with any registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates.

 

(d)           Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.3, all Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrants shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.

 

(e)           The Board shall have the power to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, all matters related to this Section 2.3, including matters necessary or desirable to administer or to determine compliance with this Section 2.3 and, absent manifest error, the determinations of the Board shall be final and binding on the Company and the Holder.

 

Section 2.4           Surrender and Cancellation of Warrant Certificates . Any Warrant Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or exercise of the Warrants represented thereby or pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be surrendered to the Company, and all Warrant Certificates surrendered shall be promptly canceled by the Company and shall not be reissued by the Company and, except as provided in Section 2.3 (in the case of a transfer or exchange), Section 3.2(c) (in the case of the exercise of less than all the Warrants represented by the surrendered Warrant Certificate) or ARTICLE V (in the case of a lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate), no Warrant Certificate shall be issued hereunder in lieu thereof. The Company shall destroy all canceled Warrant Certificates in accordance with its normal procedures.

 

Article III
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

 

Section 3.1            Exercise; Expiration Date . Each outstanding Warrant may be exercised on any Business Day which is on or after the date hereof and on or before the Expiration Date, but only if the exercise of such Warrant satisfies the FCC Restrictions and is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Any Warrants not exercised by 5:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, on the Expiration Date shall expire and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall automatically terminate at such time.

 

Section 3.2            Method of Exercise; Payment of Exercise Price .

 

(a)           All or any number of Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate may be exercised prior to the Expiration Date by the Holder thereof by: (i) surrendering the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants to the Company at its office set forth in Section 8.2 and (ii) the Holder’s completion and execution of the Exercise Form and the Ownership Certification, in

 

6
 

 

each case in the form attached to such Warrant Certificate. The Company may, in its sole discretion, require such Holder to provide documentation in support of the Ownership Certification and such other information necessary for the Company to make a determination that the exercise of the Warrants by such Holder otherwise satisfies the FCC Restrictions. Upon delivery of the items set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above, the election to exercise such Warrants shall be irrevocable. Such documents referenced above shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price then in effect for each share of Common Stock for which such Warrant is exercised, together with any documentary, stamp or transfer tax, or other applicable tax or governmental charges.

 

(b)           Except as set forth in Section 3.3, payment of the Exercise Price shall be made by the Holder exercising his, her or its Warrants by certified bank check or official bank check in funds payable to the order of the Company, and delivered to the Company at the address set forth in Section 8.2.

 

(c)           Partial Exercise; Surrender of Warrant Certificates . All or any number of whole Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate may be exercised by the Holder thereof. If less than all of the Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate are exercised, such Warrant Certificate shall be surrendered and a new Warrant Certificate executed by the Company of the same tenor and for the number of Warrants which were not exercised shall be issued by the Company. The Company shall (i) countersign such Warrant Certificate, (ii) register such Warrant Certificate in such name or names as may be directed in writing by such Holder and (iii) deliver the new Warrant Certificate to the Person or Persons in whose name such new Warrant Certificate is so registered. Any Warrant Certificate surrendered for exercise to the Company shall be promptly cancelled by the Company and shall not be reissued by the Company.

 

(d)           Issuance of Common Stock . Upon surrender of a Warrant Certificate evidencing Warrants in conformity with the foregoing provisions and payment of the Exercise Price in respect of the exercise of one or more Warrants evidenced thereby, the Company shall, when such payment is received and subject to Section 8.1, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by the Company of such notice of exercise, issue the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise (based upon the aggregate number of Warrants so exercised), as determined in accordance with Section 3.2(f). Such shares of Common Stock shall be registered in the name of such Holder in the Company’s stock records.

 

(e)           Time of Exercise . Except for exercises in connection with an Optional Redemption (as defined below), any Warrant exercised hereunder shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which the Warrant Certificate representing such Warrant shall have been surrendered for exercise as provided above, together with the notice of exercise referred to above and payment in full of the Exercise Price and any documentary, stamp or transfer tax, or other applicable tax or governmental charges. At such time, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 3.2(d) shall be deemed to have been issued and, for all purposes of this Agreement, the Holder exercising such Warrant shall, as between such Person and the Company, be deemed to be and entitled to all rights of the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock.

 

7
 

 

(f)           Stock Issuable . The number of shares of Common Stock “obtainable upon exercise” of Warrants at any time shall be the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrants are then exercisable. The number of shares “for which each Warrant is exercisable” shall be one (1) share of Common Stock subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.1.

 

Section 3.3            Optional Redemption . If the Board elects at any time, the Board may cause all Warrants issued hereunder to be deemed exercised (an “ Optional Redemption ”) for Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Warrant Certificate (giving effect to any adjustments to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of such Warrants, as the case may be, that occur or would occur prior to such deemed exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Certificates). Any Optional Redemption shall include a waiver of any Exercise Price otherwise payable upon the exercise of such Warrants. Upon making an election for an Optional Redemption, the Board shall provide the Holders with written notice of the effectiveness of such Optional Redemption, and within twenty (20) Business Days after providing such notice, the Company shall issue to each Holder the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such election to each such Holder.

 

Article IV
ADJUSTMENTS

 

Section 4.1            Adjustments . The number of shares of Common Stock for which each Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(a)           Upon Dividends, Subdivisions or Splits . If, at any time after the date hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is increased by a dividend or pro rata distribution, in each case payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a subdivision or split-up of Common Stock, following the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, or in the cases of a subdivision or split-up, on the day following the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock. The adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) shall become effective (i) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or (ii) in the case of such subdivision or split-up, at the time when such subdivision or split-up becomes effective with respect to all holders of Common Stock.

 

(b)           Upon Combinations or Reverse Splits . If, at any time after the date hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination or reverse split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to the date of such combination or reverse split shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock. The adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall become effective at the time when such combination or reverse split becomes effective with respect to all holders of Common Stock.

 

8
 

 

(c)           Organic Change . Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, unless the Company intends to cause an Optional Redemption in connection with such transaction, the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that each Holder of the Warrants shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of or addition to (as the case may be) the Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such Holder’s Warrants, such cash, interests, securities or other assets or property as would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change (if the Holder had exercised such Holder’s Warrants immediately prior to such Organic Change) with respect to or in exchange for the Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of such Holder’s Warrants had such Organic Change not taken place.

 

(d)           No Exercise Price Adjustment . Except as the Company may determine is appropriate in connection with an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.1(c), the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant is not subject to adjustment in connection with the provisions of this Section 4.1.

 

(e)           Treasury Shares . Shares of Common Stock at any time owned by the Company or its subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of any computation under this Section 4.1.

 

Section 4.2            Notice of Adjustment . Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property, as applicable, obtainable upon exercise of each Warrant is required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.1, the Company shall deliver to the Holder of such Warrant a certificate setting forth (a) the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property, as applicable, obtainable upon exercise of each such Warrant and the Exercise Price therefor after such adjustment, (b) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and (c) the computation by which such adjustment was made. Such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error.

 

Section 4.3            Statement on Warrants .  The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 4.1, and Warrant Certificates issued after such adjustment may state the same number and kind of shares of Common Stock as are stated in the Warrant Certificates initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Company may, however, at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive), make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate to reflect any such adjustment and that does not affect the substance thereof and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form so changed.

 

Section 4.4          Notice of Organic Change.     In the event that, at any time after the date hereof and prior to 5:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, on the Expiration Date, (a) the Company consummates an Organic Change or (b) the Company dissolves, liquidates or winds up its operations, and in each such case unless the Company intends to cause an Optional Redemption in connection with such transaction, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holders notice of the date on which such Organic Change, dissolution, liquidation or winding up shall or did take place, as the case may be. Such notice shall also set forth such facts as shall indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice), if any,

 

9
 

 

on the kind and amount of shares of Common Stock and other securities, money and other property deliverable upon exercise of the Warrants after giving effect to such transaction.

 

Section 4.5          Concerning All Adjustments .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if an adjustment is made under any provision of ARTICLE IV on account of any event, transaction, circumstance, condition or happening, no additional adjustment shall be made under any other provision of ARTICLE IV on account of such event, transaction, circumstance, condition or happening (i.e, there shall be no “double credit” given for a single event, transaction, circumstance, condition or happening). Unless otherwise expressly provided in this ARTICLE IV, all determinations and calculations required or permitted under this ARTICLE IV shall be made by the Company or its Board, as appropriate, and all such calculations and determinations shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.

 

Article V
LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

 

Section 5.1          Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation .   Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate, and an indemnity bond in form and amount and with corporate surety satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, then, in the absence of notice to the Company that the Warrants represented thereby have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall issue, execute and deliver to the Holder of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate, in exchange and substitution for or in lieu thereof, a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants. Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate under this ARTICLE V, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Company) in connection therewith. The provisions of this ARTICLE V are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights or remedies with respect to the replacement of lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificates.

 

Article VI
AUTHORIZATION OF SHARES; PURCHASE OF WARRANTS

 

Section 6.1          Authorization of Shares .   The Company covenants that all Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will be free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein). The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation.

 

Article VII
WARRANT HOLDER RIGHTS

 

Section 7.1            Rights Generally . The Holders shall be entitled to the rights applicable to the holders of Warrants, if any, set forth in the Registration Agreement.

Section 7.2            Dividends and Distributions . If the Company declares or pays a dividend or makes any other distribution upon shares of Common Stock, except for a dividend payable in Common Stock (which will be addressed by Section 4.1) (a “ Dividend ”), then the Company shall pay to each Holder at the time of the Dividend the amount which would have been paid to such Holder on the shares of Common Stock which such Holder would have held had the Warrants held by such Holder been fully exercised immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Dividend, or, if no record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such Dividend are to be determined.

WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

“THIS WARRANT, AND THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY WHICH MAY BE PURCHASED PURSUANT TO THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT (COLLECTIVELY, THE “ WARRANT SHARES ,” AND TOGETHER WITH THIS WARRANT, THE “ SECURITIES ”), HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND LAWS OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THIS WARRANT MUST BE SURRENDERED TO THE COMPANY OR ITS TRANSFER AGENT AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO THE SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF ANY INTEREST IN ANY OF THE WARRANT SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT.

 

THE WARRANT SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT ARE SUBJECT TO THE POWERS, DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE, PARTICIPATING, OPTIONAL OR OTHER SPECIAL RIGHTS, AND THE QUALIFICATIONS, LIMITATIONS OR RESTRICTIONS OF SUCH PREFERENCES AND/OR RIGHTS, SPECIFIED IN THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME. A COPY OF SUCH CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION SHALL BE FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.

 

THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE, TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, ENCUMBRANCE OR OTHER SIMILAR TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN A REGISTRATION AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE PERSONS PARTY THERETO, AND A WARRANT AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THIS WARRANT, COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.”

 

This certifies that _____________, or its registered assigns, is the owner of the number of Warrants set forth above, each of which represents the right to purchase, commencing on the date of execution of the Warrant Agreement hereinafter referred to, from TOWNSQUARE MEDIA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), one share of Class A Common Stock,

 

A- 1
 

 

par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “ Common Stock ”) (subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant Agreement hereinafter referred to) at the purchase price (the “ Exercise Price ”) of $0.0001 per one share of Common Stock by: (a) surrendering this Warrant Certificate at the principal office of the Company, (b) delivering to the Company the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 , (c) delivering to the Company the Ownership Certification attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 completed and duly executed and (d) delivering to the Company payment in full of the Exercise Price by certified bank check or official bank check in funds payable to the order of the Company, all subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the Warrant Agreement. This Warrant Certificate may be exercised as to all or any whole number of the Warrants evidenced hereby.

 

Each outstanding Warrant may be exercised on any Business Day which is on or after the date of execution of the Warrant Agreement and on or before the Expiration Date, but only if the Holder has delivered to the Company an Ownership Certification and such exercise otherwise satisfies the FCC Restrictions. Any Warrants not exercised by 5:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, on the Expiration Date of the Warrant Agreement shall expire and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Warrant and the Warrant Agreement shall automatically terminate at such time.

 

This Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with a Warrant Agreement dated as of July 25, 2014 (as amended or modified from time to time, the “ Warrant Agreement ”) by and among the Company, the original Holder of this Warrant Certificate and the other holders party thereto and is subject to the terms and provisions contained therein, all of which terms and provisions the Holder of this Warrant Certificate consents to by acceptance hereof. The Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
REGISTRATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED REGISTRATION AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”), dated as of July 29, 2014, is made by and among (i) Townsquare Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), (ii) OCM POF IV AIF GAP Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ OCM POF Fund ”), (iii) OCM PF/FF Radio Holdings PT, L.P, a Delaware limited partnership (“ OCM PF/FF Fund ” and, together with OCM POF Fund and any other investment vehicle or fund managed, directly or indirectly, by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. that at any time executes a counterpart to, or otherwise agrees to be bound by, this Agreement, “ OCM ”), and (iv) each of the other Persons signatory hereto and each other Person who, at any time, acquires securities of the Company and, with the written consent of OCM, executes a counterpart of this Agreement or otherwise agrees to be bound by this Agreement (such Persons, together with each other Person identified as an “Other Securityholder” on the Schedule of Securityholders attached hereto, the “ Other Securityholders ”). OCM and the Other Securityholders are collectively referred to herein as the “ Securityholders .” Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in Section 9 below.

 

This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Amended and Restated Registration Agreement of the Townsquare Media, LLC (of which the Company is the corporate successor), effective as of August 12, 2010 (the “ Original Agreement ”), in accordance with Section 10(e) of the Original Agreement.

 

In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

 

1.            Demand Registrations .

 

(a)           Requests for Registration .  At any time and from time to time, the holders of a majority of the OCM Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration (“ Long-Form Registrations ”) or, if available, on Form S-3 (including pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) or any similar short-form registration (“ Short-Form Registrations ”). All registrations requested pursuant to this Section 1(a) are referred to herein as “ Demand Registrations .” Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the anticipated per share price range for such offering. Within five (5) days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to Section 1(d) , will include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein from such Persons within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice.

 

(b)           Long-Form Registrations .  The holders of a majority of the OCM Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Long-Form

 

 
 

 

Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses (as defined below in Section 5 ). All Long-Form Registrations shall be underwritten registrations.

 

(c)           Short-Form Registrations .   In addition to the Long-Form Registrations provided pursuant to Section 1(b) , the holders of a majority of the OCM Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses. Demand Registrations will be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form. After the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, the Company shall use its best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations on Form S-3 available for the sale of Registrable Securities. All Short-Form Registrations shall be underwritten registrations, unless otherwise agreed to by the holders of a majority of OCM Registrable Securities included in such registration. If the Company, pursuant to the request of the holder(s) of a majority of OCM Registrable Securities, is qualified to and has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “ Required Registration ”), then the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Required Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after filing, and, once effective, the Company shall cause such Required Registration to remain effective until the date on which all OCM Registrable Securities included in such registration have been sold pursuant to the Required Registration.

 

(d)           Priority on Demand Registrations .   The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the OCM Registrable Securities included in such registration. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within the price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting such registration, the Company will include in such registration, (i) first , the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within such price range, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder, and (ii) second , other securities requested (and permitted) to be included in such registration, if any, that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within such price range, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of such securities owned by each such holder.

 

(e)           Restrictions on Demand Registrations .   The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Long-Form Registration within 90 days after the effective date of a previous Long-Form Registration or a previous registration in which the holders of Registrable Securities were given piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2 and in which there was no reduction in the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included. The Company may postpone for up to six months the filing or the effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, a registration statement for a Demand Registration if the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with legal counsel) that such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business or on any proposal or plan by the

 

2
 

 

Company or any of its Subsidiaries to acquire financing, engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or engage in any merger, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization or similar transaction; provided that, in such event, the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration. The Company may delay a Demand Registration hereunder only twice in any twelve-month period, provided that the aggregate length of time that such a Demand Registration may be delayed hereunder shall not exceed six months.

 

(f)           Selection of Underwriters .  The holders of a majority of the OCM Registrable Securities included in any Demand Registration shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) to administer the offering.

 

2.            Piggyback Registrations .

 

(a)           Right to Piggyback .  Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities (including any proposed registration of the Company’s securities by any third party) under the Securities Act (other than (i) pursuant to a Demand Registration, which is governed by Section 1 or (ii) pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms, or (iii) in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of equity securities), whether or not for sale for its own account, and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “ Piggyback Registration ”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and will include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein from such Persons within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice.

 

(b)           Piggyback Expenses .  The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not such registration is consummated.

 

(c)           Priority on Primary Registrations .   If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, then the Company shall include in such registration (i) first , the securities the Company proposes to sell that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within such price range, (ii) second , the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, if any, that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within such price range, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder, and (iii) third , other securities requested (and permitted) to be included in such registration, if any, that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within such price range, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of such securities owned by each such holder.

 

(d)           Priority on Secondary Registrations .   If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities other than

 

3
 

 

holders of Registrable Securities (it being understood that secondary registrations on behalf of holders of Registrable Securities are addressed in Section 1 rather than this Section 2(d) ), and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the securities initially requested to be included in such registration, then the Company shall include in such registration (i) first , the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration and the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, in each case that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within such price range, pro rata among the holders of such securities and the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of securities owned by each such holder, and (ii) second , other securities requested (and permitted) to be included in such registration, if any, that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within such price range.

 

(e)           Selection of Underwriters .    If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, the selection of the investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) for the offering must be approved by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Piggyback Registration, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(f)           Other Registrations .   If the Company has previously filed a registration statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1 or pursuant to this Section 2 , and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, then, unless such previous registration statement is a Required Registration, the Company shall not file or cause to be effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the Securities Act (except on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form), whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least six months has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration.

 

3.            Holdback Agreements .

 

(a)          Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of the Company’s equity securities and any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration that is an underwritten public offering of the Company’s equity securities, he, she or it shall not (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including sales pursuant to Rule 144), directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company (“ Securities ”) (including Securities which may be deemed to be owned beneficially by such holder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission), or any securities, options, or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Securities (“ Other Securities ”), (ii) enter into a transaction which would have the same effect as described in clause (i) of this Section 3(a) , (iii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences or ownership of any Securities or Other Securities, whether such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such Securities or Other Securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iv) publicly disclose the intention to enter into any transaction described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, from the date on which the Company gives notice to the holders of Registrable Securities that a preliminary prospectus has

 

4
 

 

been circulated for the underwritten public offering to the date that is (A) 180-days following the date of the final prospectus for such underwritten public offering, if such public offering is the Company’s initial public offering, or (B) 90 days following the date of the final prospectus for such underwritten public offering, if such public offering is not the Company’s initial public offering (in each case, or such longer period as agreed to by the underwriters designated as “book-runners” managing such registered public offering), unless such book-runners otherwise agree in writing (such period, the “ Holdback Period ”); provided that the holdback obligations set forth in this Section 3(a) shall not be effective or shall be reduced, as applicable, if, in any underwritten offering, the managing underwriter indicates in writing to the Company that such holdback obligations are not necessary or may be shortened in the applicable initial public offering, Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration. If (x) the Company issues an earnings release or other material news or a material event relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries occurs during the last 17 days of the Holdback Period or (y) prior to the expiration of the Holdback Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning upon the expiration of the Holdback Period, then to the extent necessary for a managing or co-managing underwriter of a registered offering required hereunder to comply with FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4), the Holdback Period shall be extended until 18 days after the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or event, as the case may be (such period referred to herein as the “ Holdback Extension ”). The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to its securities that are subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such period, including any period of Holdback Extension. The holdback obligations set forth in this Section 3(a) will automatically terminate upon any release or termination of such holdback obligations for the holders of a majority of the OCM Registrable Securities.

 

(b)          In addition to the holdback obligations provided for in Section 3(a) above, in connection with any underwritten public offering of the Company’s equity securities, each holder of Registrable Securities agrees to enter into any lockup or similar agreement requested by the underwriters managing the registered public offering that the holders of a majority of the OCM Registrable Securities agree to enter into; provided , that such lockup or similar arrangement will automatically terminate upon any release or termination of the lockup or similar arrangement entered into by the holders of a majority of the OCM Registrable Securities; provided , further , that in no event shall such lockup or similar agreement provide for a holdback period that is longer than the duration of the Holdback Period (including any Holdback Extension) as determined pursuant to Section 3(a) above.

 

(c)          The Company (i) agrees not to effect any Public Sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days prior to and during the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of any Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration (except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form) or, in the event of a Holdback Extension, for such longer period until the end of such period of Holdback Extension, unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree, and (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, except as otherwise permitted by the holders of a majority of the OCM Registrable Securities, shall cause each other holder of its Class A Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Class A Common Stock, purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a registered public offering) and who is not party to this

 

5
 

 

Agreement to agree not to effect any Public Sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of any such securities during such period (as extended by any Holdback Extension) except as part of such underwritten registration, if otherwise permitted, unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not include in any underwritten Demand Registration or underwritten Piggyback Registration any portion of Registrable Securities held by any officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries the inclusion of which the underwriter of such Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration, as the case may be, determines is likely to adversely affect such offering.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except in the case of (i) a transfer to the Company or (ii) a Public Sale which does not violate Sections 3(a) or 3(b) (clauses (i) through (ii), a “ Permitted Transfer ”), prior to transferring any Registrable Securities to any Person not already a party to this Agreement (including by operation of law), the transferring Securityholder shall cause the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Company a counterpart of this Agreement thereby agreeing to be bound by the terms hereof. Any transfer or attempted transfer of any Registrable Securities in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void ab initio , and the Company shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such securities as the owner of such securities for any purpose. Other than in the case of a Permitted Transfer, whether or not any such transferee has executed a counterpart hereto, such transferee shall be subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder.

 

(f)          Each certificate evidencing any Securities or Other Securities held by a Securityholder and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the transfer of any such securities (unless such securities are permitted to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement and, if such securities were Registrable Securities, would no longer be Registrable Securities after such transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (together with any other legend that may be required pursuant to applicable law or the Company’s certificate of incorporation or other organizational documents):

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON JULY 29, 2014 AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND LAWS OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

 

IN ADDITION, THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED REGISTRATION AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JULY 29, 2014, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN OF THE COMPANY’S

 

6
 

 

SECURITYHOLDERS, AS AMENDED AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME PURSUANT TO ITS TERMS. A COPY OF SUCH REGISTRATION AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.

 

The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates evidencing Securities and Other Securities outstanding prior to the date hereof. The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates evidencing any securities which are transferred pursuant to a Permitted Transfer.

 

4.            Registration Procedures .  Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and pursuant thereto the Company will as expeditiously as possible:

 

(a)          in accordance with the Securities Act and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, prepare and (within sixty (60) days after the end of the period within which requests for registration may be given to the Company) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter (provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to the counsel selected by the holders of a majority of the OCM Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of such counsel);

 

(b)          notify in writing each holder of Registrable Securities of the effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder and prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of either (i) not less than six months (subject to extension pursuant to Section 7(b) ) or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer or (ii) such shorter period as will terminate when all of the securities covered by such registration statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement (but in any event not before the expiration of any longer period required under the Securities Act), and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement until such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;

 

(c)          furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities thereunder such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus), each Free

In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify the underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.

 

(b)          In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless the other holders of Registrable Securities and the Company, and their respective directors, officers, managers, agents and employees and each other Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, together with reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), to which such indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of, are based upon, are caused by or result from (i) any untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any application or (ii) any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in each case, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to

 

11
 

 

indemnify will be several and not joint, as to each holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

 

(c)          Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (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 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 will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will 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 will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one 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.

 

(d)          The indemnifying party shall not, except with the approval of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation without any payment or consideration provided by such indemnified party.

 

(e)          If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under the provisions above in respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative faults referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative benefit of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other in connection with the registration statement or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) to the Company bear to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) to the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged omission to state a material fact

 

12
 

 

relates to information supplied by the Company or by the sellers of Registrable Securities or other sellers participating in the registration statement and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

(f)          The Company and the sellers of Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the sellers of Registrable Securities were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6 , no seller of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement filed pursuant hereto. 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.

 

(g)          The indemnification and contribution by any such party provided for under this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities.

 

7.            Participation in Underwritten Registrations .

(b)          Each Person that is participating in any registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(e) , such Person will forthwith discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement until such Person’s receipt of the

 

13
 

 

copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 4(e) ; provided that the Company shall cause the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to this Section 7 to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4(e) (the “ Suspension Period ”) not to exceed 180 days in any twelve-month period. In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the applicable time period mentioned in Section 4(b) during which a Registration Statement is to remain effective shall be extended by the number of days during the Suspension Period.

 

8.            Current Public Information .  At all times after the Company has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of either the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and will take such further action as any holder or holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time, “Rule 144”) or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. At all times after the Company has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of either the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act, if requested by any holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver to such holder of Registrable Securities a written statement that the Company has complied with all Rule 144 filing requirements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an amendment or modification of this Agreement to add a party hereto and to grant such party registration rights will be effective against the Company and all holders of Registrable Securities if such modification, amendment or waiver is approved in writing by the Company (as applicable) and the holders of a majority of the OCM Registrable Securities. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision in accordance with its terms.

 

(f)           Securityholder Status .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be set forth herein, at such time as any Securityholder ceases to hold any Registrable Securities, such Securityholder shall be deemed to no longer be a Securityholder for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer be entitled to the rights or subject to the obligations of a Securityholder as set forth herein.

 

19
 

 

(g)           Successors and Assigns; Third-Party Beneficiaries .  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto (and the Persons specifically identified in Section 6 ) and their respective successors and assigns. In addition, and whether or not any express assignment shall have been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities (or any portion thereof) as such shall be for the benefit of and enforceable by any subsequent holder of any Registrable Securities (or of such portion thereof); provided , that such subsequent holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to execute a joinder to this Agreement agreeing to be bound by its terms.

 

(h)           Severability .  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

 

(i)            Entire Agreement .  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this document embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way, including without limitation the Original Agreement.

 

(j)            Counterparts; Facsimile Signature .   This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature.

 

(k)           Descriptive Headings .   The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

 

(l)            Governing Law .   All issues and questions concerning the relative rights and obligations of the Company and the Securityholders under this Agreement and the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

 

(m)          Consent to Jurisdiction .  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the State of Delaware and the state courts of the State of Delaware for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by United States certified or registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 10(a) and the Schedule of Securityholders attached hereto, or such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party, shall

 

20
 

 

be effective service of process in any action, suit or proceeding in the State of Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the United States District Court for the State of Delaware or the state courts of the State of Delaware and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

(n)           Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial .   Because disputes arising in connection with complex transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. Therefore, to achieve the best combination of the benefits of the judicial system and of arbitration, each party to this Agreement hereby waives all rights to trial by jury in any action, suit or proceeding brought to resolve any dispute between or among any of the parties hereto, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, arising out of, connected with, related or incidental to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(o)           Business Days .   If any time period for giving notice or taking action hereunder expires on a day which is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the state in which the Company’s chief-executive office is located, the time period shall automatically be extended to the business day immediately following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board of Directors for election as directors at each applicable annual or special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected that number of individuals designated by Oaktree that, if elected, will result in three (3) Oaktree Directors each serving in a separate class of directors on the Board of Directors. For so long as Oaktree Beneficially Owns (directly or indirectly) at least one-third (1/3) of the number of shares of Common Stock it Beneficially Owned (directly or indirectly) as of the Closing, each FiveWire Holder hereby agrees to take all Necessary Action tocause the election of such Oaktree Directors to the Board of Directors.

(d)           In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any Oaktree Director, the Company and each FiveWire Holder hereby agrees to take all Necessary Action to cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled as soon as practicable by an Oaktree Director.

 

(e)           The Company shall reimburse the members of the Board of Directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and any committees thereof, including without limitation travel, lodging and meal expenses.

Oaktree may exercise the irrevocable proxy granted to it hereunder at any time that the vote, consent or approval of any holder of Class B Common Stock may be required.

4. REMEDIES.

 

4.1            Generally . The Company and each party hereto shall have all remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise in the event of any breach or violation of this Agreement or any default hereunder by the Company or any party hereto.
