Underwritten Public Offerings.

In addition, if at any time and for so long as the Holders beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, but excluding for this purpose any attribution of ownership of securities held by persons who are not affiliates of CPPIB)), in the aggregate, over 15.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Holders shall be entitled to require the Company to conduct one (1) additional Underwritten Offering pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than two (2) Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 4; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than one (1) Underwritten Offering in any twelve (12) month period. (b) Upon the request of the Requesting Holders (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be included in such Underwritten Offering), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Underwritten Offering in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11 below; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer such Underwritten Offering in accordance with Section 12 below. (c) In addition, the Requesting Holders shall give notice to the Company of the managing underwriters for such proposed Underwritten Offering, such managing underwriters to be subject to the approval of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld. (d) If an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 4 is commenced, but not completed for any reason (other than as a result of the Requesting Holders’ (i) determination not to complete the Underwritten Offering, (ii) failure to provide all necessary information regarding the Requesting Holders to the Company or the underwriters or (iii) failure to satisfy any of the covenants or conditions contained in the underwriting agreement relating to such Underwritten Offering), such Underwritten Offering will not count as one of the Underwritten Offerings that the Company is obligated to effect pursuant to this Section 4.
