Share Repurchases
On November 7, 2023, Enstar Group Limited (the “Company”) agreed to repurchase an aggregate of 841,735 of its voting ordinary shares (the "Shares") in two separate transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $191.2 million. Both transactions were priced at $227.18 per share, representing a 5% discount to the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Shares on the NASDAQ stock market as of November 3, 2023. The repurchases will be funded by the Company with available cash on hand.
In the first transaction, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the "CPP Agreement") with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, a Canadian federal Crown corporation (“CPP Investments”), and Canada Epsilon Ontario Limited Partnership, an Ontario limited partnership ("CPPIB LP"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to repurchase 50,000 Shares from CPP Investments and 741,735 Shares from CPPIB LP for an aggregate price of $179.9 million. CPP Investments currently has the contractual right to appoint a director representative to the Company’s board of directors, which will be extinguished following the completion of both its sale of Shares back to the Company and its sale of additional Shares to certain third parties as described below. Upon completion of all of the transactions described herein, CPP Investments will have a 4.3% interest in the Company.
In the second transaction, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the "Stone Point Agreement") with Trident Public Equity LP ("Trident Public Equity"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to repurchase 50,000 Shares held by Trident Public Equity for a price of $11.4 million. Trident Public Equity is an affiliate of Stone Point Capital LLC (“Stone Point”), which manages investment funds that will have a 9.6% interest in the Company following completion of the transactions described herein. James D. Carey, one of the Company’s directors, is the sole member of an entity that is one of four general partners of such investment funds. Mr. Carey is also a member of the investment committees of such general partners and is a member and Managing Director of Stone Point. Additionally, on November 7, 2023, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Dominic Silvester, entered into a purchase agreement with Trident Public Equity, pursuant to which Mr. Silvester agreed to purchase 45,000 Shares from Trident Public Equity for a price of $10.2 million.

The Sixth Street Shareholders have assigned their right to purchase 89,300 of those shares to Flexpoint Asset Opportunity Fund II-A, L.P. and Flexpoint Asset Opportunity Fund II-B, L.P.

The Registration Rights Agreement will grant the Sixth Street Shareholders one demand registration right and piggyback registration rights with respect to its Shares acquired by the Sixth Street Shareholders at the closing of the Sixth Street-CPP Transaction. The registration rights granted in the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to customary restrictions such as limitations on the number of shares to be included in any underwritten offering imposed by the managing underwriter, and participation and priority rights of the Sixth Street Shareholders relative to certain existing shareholders of the Company. In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement contains other limitations on the timing and ability of the Sixth Street Shareholders to exercise their demand right.
The foregoing are summary descriptions of certain terms of the Shareholder Rights Agreement and the Registrations Rights Agreement, do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Observer shall have the right to be heard at any such meetings, but in no event shall the Observer be deemed to be a member of the Company Board or any committee thereof or have the right to vote on any matter under consideration by the Company Board or any committee thereof or otherwise have any power to cause the Company to take, or not to take, any action. Unless requested otherwise by the Sixth Street Shareholders or the Observer, as a non-voting observer, the Observer will also be provided (concurrently with delivery to the members of the Company Board, Risk Committee or Investment Committee, as applicable, and in the same manner delivery is made to them) copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and all other materials and information (financial or otherwise) that are provided to the directors with respect to a meeting or any written consent in lieu of a meeting of the Company Board, Risk Committee or Investment Committee, as applicable. If a meeting of the Company Board, Risk Committee or Investment Committee, as applicable, is conducted via telephone or other electronic medium (e.g., videoconference), the Observer may attend such meeting via the same medium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may withhold information or materials from the Observer and exclude the Observer from any meeting or portion thereof if (as determined by the Company Board in good faith) access to such information or materials or attendance at such meeting would (i) be reasonably likely to result in a loss of attorney-client or work product privilege between the Company and its counsel or (ii) otherwise violate the terms of any confidentiality or similar agreement to or by which the Company or any of its Affiliates is a party or otherwise bound; provided that the Company shall first use commercially reasonable efforts to permit the Observer to obtain such information or materials or attend such meeting or portion thereof by entering into a joint defense or similar agreement or a confidentiality agreement, as applicable, with respect to the subject matter thereof, with the Observer. The Observer shall be subject to the same obligations as directors of the Company Board with respect to confidentiality. To the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, the Observer shall have the benefit of indemnification by the Company in connection with his or her service with respect to the Company Board to the same extent as is provided by the Company to directors serving on the Company Board.
(b)    At such time as the Sixth Street Shareholders (together with their Affiliates) shall no longer beneficially own at least 75% of the total number of Acquired Sixth Street Shares acquired by the Sixth Street Shareholders under the Purchase Agreement (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and the like), Section 2.1(a) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
(c)    The Observer shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with his or her service with respect to the Company Board or its committees to the extent that such reimbursement is provided to directors serving on the Company Board or its committees.
2



(d)    For so long as any partner, employee, representative or designee of the Sixth Street Shareholders or any of their respective Affiliates serves as an observer on the Company Board, the Company shall not implement or maintain any trading policy or similar guideline or policy with respect to the trading of securities of the Company that is targeted at the Sixth Street Shareholders or any of their respective Affiliates (including a policy that limits, prohibits or restricts the Sixth Street Shareholders or any of their respective Affiliates from entering into any hedging or derivative arrangements), in each case, other than with respect to the Observer in his or her personal capacity, which policy or guideline is applicable to all directors of the Company. The Company agrees that it shall, upon request, promptly make available to the Sixth Street Shareholders information regarding the Company’s trading windows.

(a)    The Company shall provide, from time to time, such additional information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as each Sixth Street Shareholder may reasonably request, including any information or reports (i) required by reason of reporting or regulatory requirements to which such Sixth Street Shareholder is subject, or (ii) that it is obligated to have available regarding taxation matters.
(b)    The Company shall promptly furnish to each Sixth Street Shareholder information reasonably requested to enable such Sixth Street Shareholder to comply with any applicable tax reporting requirements with respect to the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of, and income attributable to, any Acquired Sixth Street Shares held by such Sixth Street Shareholder, including such information as may be reasonably requested by such Sixth Street Shareholder to complete U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. income tax returns.
(c)    Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall (i) promptly notify each Sixth Street Shareholder if the Company determines, including as part of its periodic review procedures, that it or any of its Subsidiaries is treated as a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) or a “controlled foreign corporation” (a “CFC”) for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code and (ii) provide each Sixth Street Shareholder with information reasonably requested by such Sixth Street Shareholder to permit such Sixth Street Shareholder, or any of such Sixth Street Shareholder’s direct or indirect beneficial owners, to satisfy their U.S. income tax return filing requirements arising from any direct or indirect investment in a CFC or PFIC. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is determined to be a PFIC, the Company shall provide to each Sixth Street Shareholder any information reasonably necessary to make or maintain any election under the Internal Revenue Code related to PFIC status, including a “qualified electing fund” election.
Section 2.3    No Non-Competition Agreement. From and after the date hereof, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding containing any provision or covenant that purports to, or could reasonably be expected to, limit in any respect the ability of either of the Sixth Street Shareholders or any of their respective Affiliates to (i) sell any products or services of or to any other Person or in any geographic region, (ii) engage in any line of business, (iii) compete with or obtain products or services from any Person or (iv) except for any restrictions on transactions with Affiliates pursuant to any debt financing of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provide products or services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 2.5    Company Cooperation.
(a)    From and after the Closing, in connection with any proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of the Acquired Sixth Street Shares by a Sixth Street Shareholder to a third-party transferee, the Company shall, at the request of such Sixth Street Shareholder, cooperate with such Sixth Street Shareholder to facilitate such sale, transfer or other disposition by providing (i) to a transfer agent
3



or other similar third party, a certificate and/or opinion of the Company or its counsel, as applicable, with respect to fundamental corporate matters of the Company (including its formation, valid existence, good standing and similar matters) and the validity of, and/or exemption from registration under Applicable Laws related to the transfer of securities of, the Acquired Sixth Street Shares, or a letter instructing the Company’s transfer agent to reflect such sale, transfer or other disposition in its records, in each case, to the extent reasonably requested by such Sixth Street Shareholder in connection therewith, and (ii) to any such proposed transferee, such information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as is reasonably requested by such Sixth Street Shareholder in connection with any “due diligence” effort by such transferee with respect to such transaction (provided that such proposed transferee shall first enter into a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information on terms that are at least as favorable to the Company (as reasonably determined by the Company) as those contained in the Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement between the Company and Sixth Street Partners, LLC, dated as of August 10, 2023, including by causing members of senior management of the Company to make themselves reasonably available to participate in discussions with such persons; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to facilitate a sale, transfer or other disposition by providing any information to any Person who (a) is known to have engaged in activist campaigns by stating an intention to, or actually attempting to (pursuant to proxy solicitation, tender, exchange offer or other similar means), obtain a seat on the board of directors of a company or effecting a significant change within such company, in each case, that was opposed by the board of directors of such company or (b) is a Person whose business is competitive in any material respect with a material portion of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the time of such proposed sale, transfer or other disposition (such Person in clause (b), a “Competitor”); provided, further, that a sponsor or financial investor shall not be considered a Competitor solely by virtue of the fact that it holds an investment in, or has any director appointment right or other governance rights with respect to, a portfolio company (as such term is commonly understood in the private equity industry) whose business is competitive with the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Such Sixth Street Shareholder shall promptly reimburse the Company for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs associated with such requested cooperation in connection with any proposed sale, transfer or other disposition by such Sixth Street Shareholder.
(b)    Upon the reasonable request of a Sixth Street Shareholder, in the event that the Acquired Sixth Street Shares are eligible to be transferred without restriction in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company shall (i) instruct the Company’s transfer agent to issue new uncertificated (book-entry) instruments representing the Acquired Sixth Street Shares, which shall not contain the portion of any legend thereon that is no longer applicable and (ii) take all actions with the Company’s transfer agent reasonably requested by such Sixth Street Shareholder to permit such un-legended Acquired Sixth Street Shares to be deposited into the account specified by such Sixth Street Shareholder to the Company in writing.
Section 2.6    Regulatory Matters. From and after the date hereof, for so long as either Sixth Street Shareholder owns any equity interests in the Company (including the Acquired Sixth Street Shares), without the prior written consent of the Sixth Street Shareholders, the Company shall not redeem, repurchase or recapitalize any Common Shares that would result in the Sixth Street Shareholders’ aggregate ownership of Common Shares increasing above 9.9% of the outstanding Common Shares (excluding any such shares that are disregarded under Applicable Law for purposes of determining “control” of the Company or its applicable Subsidiaries), unless the Company has given each Sixth Street Shareholder the right to participate in such redemption, repurchase or recapitalization to the extent of such Sixth Street Shareholder’s pro rata portion of the Common Shares to be redeemed, repurchased or recapitalized on the same terms, including price, as are offered to other participants of such redemption, repurchase or recapitalization.
Section 2.7    Corporate Opportunities. The Company expressly acknowledges that the Sixth Street Shareholders, their respective Affiliates and the Observer (i) are permitted to have, and may presently or in the future have, investments or other business relationships with entities engaged in business(es) that may be similar to, or competitive with, the businesses of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Other Business”), (ii) have and may develop strategic relationships with businesses that are or may be competitive with or complementary to the Company or its Subsidiaries, (iii) will not, by virtue of their investment in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (if applicable) designation of their Affiliates, representatives or personnel as officers, managers or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, be prohibited from pursuing and engaging in any such activities, (iv) will not be obligated to inform the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any such opportunity, relationship or investment and (v) may be involved in an Other Business and such involvement in and of itself will not constitute a conflict of interest of any of such Persons with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, that (a) none of the Sixth Street Shareholders, their respective Affiliates or the Observer shall be
4



permitted to use or disclose any confidential information provided by the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective directors, officers, employees or other representatives in connection with any of the activities contemplated by the foregoing sentence, and (b) the Observer shall disclose any investment or other material involvement that a Sixth Street Shareholder or any of its Affiliates have in any Person that is involved in (or to the extent the Observer is notified of such by the Company Board or its committee, has a material interest in) a matter being reviewed, discussed or approved by the Company Board or any of its committees prior to the Observer participating in any meeting with respect to such matter and the Company Board and its committees shall have the right to exclude the Observer from the portion of any meeting during which such matter is being reviewed, discussed or approved to the extent the Company Board or such committee determines in good faith that the attendance of the Observer would result in a conflict of interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that the Sixth Street Shareholders, their respective Affiliates and their respective officers and employees, including the Observer, may serve as directors of portfolio companies, and confidential information will not be deemed to have been disclosed to any such portfolio company solely due to the dual role of any such officer or employee so long as such officer or employee does not provide any such confidential information to the other directors or officers or employees of any such portfolio company or direct or cause such portfolio company to take any action on the basis of such confidential information.

The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to register, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all Registrable Securities that have been requested to be registered by the Sixth Street Entities in the Registration Request (a “Demand Registration”); provided, that the Company will not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 1(a) unless the aggregate number of shares proposed to be registered constitutes at least 2% of the total number of outstanding ordinary shares of the Company. Except if expressly prohibited by applicable law, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Registration Request.
(b)    Limitation on Demand Registrations. A request for registration will not constitute the use of a Registration Request pursuant to Section 1(a) if (i) the Sixth Street Entities determine in good faith to withdraw (prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such request) the proposed registration, (ii) the Registration Statement relating to such request is not declared effective within ninety (90) days of the date such registration statement is first filed with the SEC, (iii) prior to the sale of at least 90% of the Registrable Securities included in the registration relating to such request, such registration is adversely affected by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency, quasi-governmental agent or self-regulatory body or court for any reason and the Company fails to have such stop order, injunction or other order or requirement removed, withdrawn or resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the holders of a majority of securities included in such registration statement within thirty (30) days of the date of such order, (iv) more than 20% of the Registrable Securities requested by the Sixth Street Entities to be included in the registration are not so included pursuant to Section 1(e); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sixth Street Entities shall nonetheless be permitted to include the number of Registrable Securities that the underwriter permits to be included in such registration, (v) the conditions to closing specified in any underwriting agreement or purchase agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such request are not satisfied (other than as a result of a material breach thereunder by the Sixth Street Entities), or (vi) the Company did not provide Full Cooperation in the case of an underwritten offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing but except if expressly prohibited by applicable law, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Registration Request made pursuant to Section 1(a) in the event this provision applies.
(c)    Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company may postpone for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed ninety (90) days, the filing or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration if the Company furnishes to the Sixth Street


Entities a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that such Demand Registration is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company to engage in any acquisition of assets or any merger, amalgamation, consolidation, tender offer or similar transaction, or otherwise would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations, prospects or financial condition of the Company; provided, that the Company may not effect such a postponement more than once in any 360-day period. If the Company so postpones the filing or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Sixth Street Entities will be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such registration request will not count as a Registration Request for the purposes of Section 1(a). Notwithstanding Section 1(a), except if expressly prohibited by applicable law, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any such non-completed registration.
(d)    Selection of Underwriters. If the Sixth Street Entities intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their Registration Request by means of an underwritten offering, the Sixth Street Entities will so advise the Company as a part of the Registration Request (and, if so elected by the Sixth Street Entities, a Registration Request may specify that the underwritten offering be conducted pursuant to an existing shelf registration statement filed with respect to the Sixth Street Entities’ Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2), and the Company will include such information in any notice sent by the Company to the Prior Holders with respect to such Registration Request. In such event, the Sixth Street Entities will have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering, subject to the Company’s approval which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and will not be withheld, conditioned or delayed in the case the selected underwriter is an Affiliate of the Sixth Street Entities). In connection with any underwritten Demand Registration, the Company shall cause there to be Full Cooperation. Regardless of whether the Sixth Street Entities elect to specify that the underwritten offering be conducted pursuant to an existing shelf registration statement or a separate registration statement, the Sixth Street Entities shall be entitled to no more than one (1) underwritten offering.
(e)    Priority on Demand Registrations. Subject to the Company’s obligations under the Prior Registration Rights Agreements, the Company will not include in any underwritten registration pursuant to Section 1(a) any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Sixth Street Entities. If the managing underwriter advises the Company that in its opinion the number of Registrable Securities and Prior Holder Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering) exceeds the number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, including the price at which the securities can be sold, the Company will include in such offering the maximum number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, including the price at which the securities can be sold, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, Registrable Securities and Prior Holder Securities, pro rata among the respective holders thereof participating in such registration on the basis of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities or Prior Holder Securities, as applicable, owned by each such holder on the date of such request or in such other manner as they may agree; (ii) second, securities the Company proposes to sell and (iii) third, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in the Prior Registration Rights Agreements, no employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof will be entitled to participate, directly or indirectly, in any such registration to the extent that the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm) determines in good faith that the participation of such employee in such registration would adversely affect the marketability or offering price of the securities being sold in such registration. For purposes of Section 1(e) and Sections 2(d) and 2(e) of the Prior GSCP Registration Rights Agreement, the Company hereby agrees that the Registrable Securities under this Agreement and the Prior Holder Securities under the Prior GSCP Registration Rights Agreement shall be treated as pari passu for purposes of the priority rights set forth in such Sections (as permitted pursuant to Section 1(f) of the Prior GSCP Registration Rights Agreement).
(f)    Future Registration Rights. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company will not grant to any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company registration rights with respect to such securities which are senior to or otherwise conflict in any material respect with the rights granted pursuant to this Section 1 without the prior written consent of the Sixth Street Entities; provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent the Company from granting
2


additional demand or piggy back registration rights that are pari passu with the rights set forth in this Agreement, and any dilution of the registration rights herein resulting from any such pari passu rights shall not be deemed to conflict with the rights set forth herein.
2.    Piggyback Registrations.
(a)    Right to Piggyback. At any time after the date hereof, whenever the Company proposes to register voting ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (“Common Shares”) (other than on a universal shelf registration statement (but for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any “shelf take-downs” of such registration statements of Common Shares not issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of another security, in which case this Section 2 shall apply), a registration on Form S-4 or a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more securityholders of the Company, and the registration form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of Registrable Securities, the Company will give prompt written notice to the Sixth Street Entities 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 a written request for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after the date of the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Once a Sixth Street Entity has made such a written request, it may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth (5th) day prior to the anticipated effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company may terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it and covered by this Section 2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not a Sixth Street Entity has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration, and except for the obligation to pay Registration Expenses pursuant to Section 2(c) the Company will have no liability to any Sixth Street Entity in connection with such termination or withdrawal. A Piggyback Registration shall not be considered a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 1 of this Agreement.
(b)    Underwritten Registration. If the registration referred to in Section 2(a) is proposed to be underwritten, the Company will so advise the Sixth Street Entities as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2(a). In such event, the right of a Sixth Street Entity to registration pursuant to this Section 2 will be conditioned upon such Sixth Street Entity’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Sixth Street Entity’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and such Sixth Street Entity will (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. If a Sixth Street Entity disapprove of the terms of the underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter.
(c)    Piggyback Registration Expenses. Except if expressly prohibited by applicable law, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Piggyback Registration, whether or not any registration or prospectus becomes effective or final.
(d)    Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, including the price at which such securities can be sold, the Company will include in such registration the maximum number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, including the price at which such securities can be sold, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities and Prior Holder Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the Sixth Street Entities and the Prior Holders of such securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities and Prior Holder Securities so requested to be included therein owned by each such holder or in such other manner as they may agree, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in the Prior Registration Rights Agreements, any employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof will not be entitled to participate, directly or indirectly, in any such registration to the extent that the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm) will determine in good faith that the participation of such
3


employee in such registration would adversely affect the marketability or offering price of the securities being sold in such registration.
(e)    Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration relates solely to an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of other holders of the Company’s securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, including the price at which such securities can be sold, the Company will include in such registration the maximum number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, including the price at which such securities can be sold, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, (A) the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration and (B) the Registrable Securities and Prior Holder Securities pro rata among the holders thereof on the basis of the number of securities so requested to be included therein owned by each such holder or in such other manner as they may agree, and (ii) second, other securities requested to be included in such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof will not be entitled to participate, directly or indirectly, in any such registration to the extent that the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm) will determine in good faith that the participation of such employee in such registration would adversely affect the marketability or offering price of the securities being sold in such registration.
(f)    Other Registrations. If the Company files a Registration Statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1 or Section 2, and if such registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, subject to the terms of the Prior Registration Rights Agreements, the Company will 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 1933 Act (except for universal shelf registration statements that are not being “taken down” in connection with an offering and registration statements on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms), whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) days have elapsed from the effective date of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.
3.    Registration Procedures. Subject to Section 1(c), whenever a Sixth Steet Entity has requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a)    prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, make all required filings with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective; provided, that before filing a Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to one firm of counsel selected by the Sixth Street Entities in accordance with Section 4(b) copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to review of such counsel. Unless such counsel earlier informs the Company that it has no objections to the filing of such Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, the Company will not file such Registration Statement, amendment or supplement prior to the date that is five Business Days from the date that such counsel received such document. The Company will not file any Registration Statement or amendment or post-effective amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement to which such counsel will have reasonably objected in writing on the grounds that such amendment or supplement does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act or of the rules or regulations thereunder. The Company shall not permit any person acting on behalf of the Company to use any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) in connection with any registration statement covering Registrable Securities, without the prior consent of the Sixth Street Entities participating in such registration, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
(b)    prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of either (i) not less than six (6) months or, if such Registration Statement relates to an
4


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 Sixth Street Entities set forth in such Registration Statement (but in any event not before the expiration of any longer period required under the 1933 Act), and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 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 Sixth Street Entities set forth in such Registration Statement;
(c)    furnish to the Sixth Street Entities such number of copies, without charge, of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, including each preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, all exhibits and other documents filed therewith and such other documents as the Sixth Street Entities may reasonably request including in order to facilitate the disposition of their Registrable Securities;
(d)    use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Sixth Street Entities reasonably request and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or reasonably advisable to enable the Sixth Street Entities to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions (provided, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);
(e)    use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies, authorities or self-regulatory bodies as may be necessary or reasonably advisable in light of the business and operations of the Company to enable the Sixth Street Entities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof;
(f)    immediately notify the Sixth Street Entities and any underwriter(s), at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, of the occurrence of any event which will have the result that, the prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and, as promptly as practicable, prepare and furnish to the Sixth Street Entities and underwriter(s) a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made;
(g)    notify the Sixth Street Entities (i) when the prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or to amend or to supplement such prospectus or for additional information and (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for any of such purposes;
(h)    use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or, if no similar securities issued by the Company are then listed on any securities exchange, use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on the Nasdaq;
(i)    provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;
(j)    enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements with customary provisions) and take all such other actions as the Sixth Street Entities or the
5


underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, effecting a share split or a combination of shares);
(k)    make available for inspection by the Sixth Street Entities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Sixth Street Entities any or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and documents relating to the business of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by the Sixth Street Entities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, that the Sixth Street Entities will, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such underwriter, accountant or other agent to enter into a customary confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company; provided further, that such confidentiality agreement will not contain terms that would prohibit any such Person from complying with its obligations under applicable law or Nasdaq rules;
(l)    otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
(m)    in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or ceasing trading of any securities included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction, use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;
(n)    enter into such agreements and take such other actions as the Sixth Street Entities or the underwriters reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, preparing for and participating in such number of “road shows” and all such other customary selling efforts as the underwriters reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate such disposition;
(o)    obtain one or more comfort letters, addressed to the Sixth Street Entities (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering to the underwriters of such offering), signed by the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters;
(p)    provide legal opinions of the Company’s outside counsel, addressed to the Sixth Street Entities (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, to the underwriters of such offering), with respect to the Registration Statement and prospectus in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature;
(q)    furnish to the Sixth Street Entities such information and assistance as the Sixth Street Entities may reasonably request in connection with any “due diligence” effort which the Sixth Street Entities deem appropriate; and
(r)    use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions, and do and cause to be done all other things, necessary or reasonably advisable to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.
The Company agrees not to file or make any amendment to any Registration Statement with respect to any Registrable Securities, or any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus used in connection therewith, that refers to the Sixth Street Entities by name, or otherwise identifies the Sixth Street Entities as the holder of any securities of the Company, without the consent of the Sixth Street Entities, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless and to the extent such disclosure is required by law.
6


The Company represents and warrants that no Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (except that the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to information relating to the Sixth Street Entities furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Sixth Street Entities specifically for inclusion therein).
The Company may require the Sixth Street Entities to furnish the Company with such information regarding the Sixth Street Entities and pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.
4.    Registration Expenses. Except as otherwise provided for herein, all expenses incidental to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees (including SEC registration and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority filing fees), fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, word processing, duplicating and printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, transfer agent’s and registrar’s fees, cost of distributing prospectuses in preliminary and final form, as well as any supplements thereto, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters and other Persons retained by the Company (all such expenses, “Registration Expenses”), will be borne by the Company. In addition, the Company will, in any event, pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expenses of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange or automatic quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed (including the Nasdaq). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Selling Expenses will be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of their shares so registered.
5.    Indemnification.
(a)    The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless, the Sixth Street Entities, their respective affiliates and their respective officers, directors and partners and each Person who controls a Sixth Street Entity (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against, and pay and reimburse such holder, affiliate, director, officer or partner or controlling person for any losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or any such affiliate, director, officer or partner or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 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 or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in 1933 Act Rule 433), (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or any state securities laws applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, and the Company will pay and reimburse the Sixth Street Entities and each such affiliate, director, officer, partner and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding or (iv) the failure to include, at the time of pricing any offering, the information required by Sections 12(a)(2) and 17(a)(2) of the 1933 Act; provided, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such Registration Statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company by a Sixth Street Entity expressly for use therein or by a Sixth Street Entity’s failure to deliver, to the extent required by law and except to the extent such failure results from a failure by the Company to comply with Section 3(f), a copy of the Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished the Sixth Street Entities with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company, if requested, will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who
7


controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) to at least the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Sixth Street Entities.
(b)    In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Sixth Street Entity is participating, it will furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, each other Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) and each underwriter (to the extent required by such underwriter) against any losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof), joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer, any such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, actions or proceedings arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged 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 or alleged 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 reliance upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company by a Sixth Street Entity expressly for use therein, and the Sixth Street Entities will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer, underwriter and controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided, that the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless will be individual and several to the relevant Sixth Street Entity and will be limited to the amount of net proceeds received by such Sixth Street Entity 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 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 prior written consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). 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. Failure to give prompt written notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligations hereunder except to the extent that such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice.
(d)    The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the registration and sale of any securities by any Person entitled to any indemnification hereunder and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
(e)    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relevant fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount that a Sixth Street Entity will be obligated to contribute pursuant to this
8


Section 5(e) will be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Sixth Street Entity of the Registrable Securities sold by such Sixth Street Entity pursuant to the registration statement which gives rise to such obligation to contribute (less the aggregate amount of any damages which such Sixth Street Entity have otherwise been required to pay in respect of such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability or action or any substantially similar loss, claim, damage, expense, liability or action arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities).
6.    Participation in Underwritten Registrations.
(a)    A Sixth Street Entity may not participate in any registration hereunder that is underwritten unless it (i) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the managing underwriter(s); provided, that a Sixth Street Entity will not be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that it has requested the Company to include in any registration), (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, and (iii) cooperates with the Company’s reasonable requests in connection with such registration or qualification (it being understood that the Company’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, which failure is caused by the Sixth Street Entities’ failure to cooperate, will not constitute a breach by the Company of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Sixth Street Entity will not be required to agree to any indemnification obligations on the part of such Sixth Street Entity that are materially greater than its obligations pursuant to Section 6(b).
(b)    The Sixth Street Entities agree that, if it is participating in any registration hereunder, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) above, the Sixth Street Entities will forthwith discontinue the disposition of their Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until it receives copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by such Section 3(f). In the event the Company gives any such notice, the applicable time period during which a Registration Statement is to remain effective will be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to this Section 6(b) to and including the date when the Sixth Street Entities will have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f).
