1.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

1.1.: Demand Registration Rights

1.1.1. Request

Subject to the provisions of this Section 1.1, at any time after six (6) months following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, (A) Anschutz or any Anschutz Affiliate may request registration for sale under the Act of all or part of the Common Stock then held by them;

provided, however, that such request shall cover the registration of Common Stock with an anticipated aggregate offering price (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of at least $25,000,000 and (B) Oaktree or any Oaktree Affiliate may request registration for sale under the Act of all or part of the Common Stock then held by them; provided, however, that such request shall cover the registration of Common Stock with an anticipated aggregate offering price (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of at least $25,000,000. Within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of such request (which request shall specify the number of shares proposed to be registered and sold), the Company shall promptly give written notice to all other Stockholders of the proposed demand registration, and such other Stockholders shall have the right to join in such proposed registration and sale, upon written request to the Company (which request shall specify the number of shares proposed to be registered and sold) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice from the Company. The Company shall thereafter, as expeditiously as practicable, use its reasonable best efforts (x) to file with the SEC under the Act a registration statement on the appropriate form concerning all Common Stock specified in the demand request and all shares with respect to which the Company has received such written request from the other Stockholders and (y) to cause such registration statement to be declared effective. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each offering pursuant to this Section 1.1 to be managed, on a firm commitment basis, by a recognized regional or national underwriter. With respect to requests for registration by Anschutz or any Anschutz Affiliate pursuant to clause (A) above, the Company shall not be required to comply with more than three (3) requests by Anschutz or any Anschutz Affiliate, collectively, for demand registrations pursuant to this Section 1.1 unless pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.1.3 hereof a number of shares in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Common Stock requested to be included in a registration are not included, in which event such demand registration shall not count against the three (3) demand registrations to which Anschutz and any Anschutz Affiliates, collectively, are entitled. With respect to requests for registration by Oaktree or any Oaktree Affiliate pursuant to clause (B) above, the Company shall not be required to comply with more than two (2) requests by Oaktree or any Oaktree Affiliates, collectively, for demand registrations pursuant to this Section 1.1 unless pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.1.3 hereof a number of shares in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Common Stock requested to be included in a registration are not included, in which event such demand registration shall not count against the two (2) demand registrations to which Oaktree and any Oaktree Affiliates, collectively, are entitled.

1.1.2. Delay by Company

The Company shall not be required to effect a demand registration under the Act pursuant to Section 1.1.1 above if (i) the Company receives such request for registration within one hundred twenty (120) days preceding the anticipated effective date of a proposed underwritten public offering of securities of the Company approved by the Company's board of directors prior to the Company's receipt of such request; (ii) within twelve (12) months prior to any such request for registration, a registration of securities of the Company has been effected in which the Stockholders had the right to participate pursuant to this Section 1.1 or Section 1.2 hereof; or (iii) the board of directors of the Company reasonably determines in good faith that effecting such a demand registration at such time would have a material adverse effect upon a proposed sale of all (or substantially all) the assets of the Company, or a merger, reorganization, recapitalization, or similar transaction materially affecting the capital structure or equity ownership of the Company; provided, however, that the Company may only delay a demand registration pursuant to this Section 1.1.2(iii) for a period not exceeding six (6) months (or until such earlier time as such transaction is consummated or no longer proposed). The Company shall promptly notify in writing the Stockholders requesting registration of any decision not to effect any such request for registration pursuant to this Section 1.1.2, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the

reason for such decision and shall include an undertaking by the Company promptly to notify such Stockholders as soon as a demand registration may be effected.

1.1.3. Pro Rata Reduction

If a demand registration is an underwritten registration and the managing underwriters advise the Company and the Stockholders participating in the demand registration in writing that in their opinion the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering, then the amount of such shares that may be included in such registration shall be allocated pro rata among all of such participating Stockholders in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock such Stockholders have requested to include in the demand registration.

1.1.4. Withdrawal

Stockholders participating in any demand registration pursuant to this Section 1.1 may withdraw at any time before a registration statement is declared effective, in which event the Company shall withdraw such registration statement (and the Stockholders shall not be deemed to have requested a demand registration for purposes of Section 1.1.1 hereof) unless at least fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Common Stock of the Company requested to be registered remain covered by such registration statement. If the Company withdraws a registration statement under this Section 1.1.4 in respect of a registration for which the Company would otherwise be required to pay expenses under Section 1.5.2 hereof, the Stockholders that shall have withdrawn shall be liable to the Company for all expenses of such registration specified in Section 1.5.2 hereof in proportion to the number of shares each such withdrawing Stockholder shall have requested to be registered.

1.2.: Piggyback Registration Rights

1.2.1. Request

If at any time or times after the date hereof the Company proposes to make a registered public offering of any of its Equity Securities under the Act (whether to be sold by it or by one or more third parties), other than (a) the Company's Initial Public Offering, (b) an offering pursuant to a demand registration under Section 1.1.1 hereof or (c) an offering registered on Form ▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇-▇, or comparable forms, the Company shall, not less than ten (10) business days prior to the proposed filing date of the registration form, give written notice of the proposed registration to each Stockholder, and at the written request of a Stockholder delivered to the Company within five (5) business days after the receipt of such notice, shall include in such registration and offering, and in any underwriting of such offering, all shares of Common Stock as may have been designated in such Stockholder's request.

1.2.2. Pro Rata Reduction

If a registration in which any Stockholder has the right to participate pursuant to this Section 1.2 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 registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities of the Company proposed to be sold by the Company, and (ii) second, the Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Stockholder and by any other Stockholders proposing to sell shares of Common Stock pursuant to such registration, in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock so requested by each of them to be included. If a registration in which such Stockholder has the right to participate pursuant to this Section 1.2 is an underwritten secondary registration 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 that can be sold in such offering, then the Company shall include in such offering the number of shares of Common Stock owned and proposed to be sold by such Stockholder and by any other participants (including other Stockholders) proposing (and entitled) to sell shares pursuant to such registration, in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock so requested by each of them to be included.

1.3. Registration Procedures

The Company shall have no obligation to file a registration statement pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof, or to include shares of Common Stock owned by any Stockholder in a registration statement pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof, unless and until such Stockholder shall have furnished the Company with all information and statements about or pertaining to such Stockholder in such reasonable detail and on such timely basis as is reasonably deemed by the Company to be necessary or appropriate with respect to the preparation of the registration statement. Whenever any Stockholder has requested that any shares of Common Stock be registered pursuant to Sections 1.1 or 1.2 hereof, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

1.3.1 prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such shares and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish counsel for such Stockholder with copies of all such documents proposed to be filed);

1.3.2 prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less than nine (9) months or until such Stockholder has completed the distribution described in such registration statement, whichever occurs first;

1.3.3 furnish to such Stockholder such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus), and such other documents as such Stockholder may reasonably request;

1.3.4 use its best efforts to register or qualify such shares under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as such Stockholder reasonably requests (and to maintain such registrations and qualifications effective for a period of nine (9) months or until such Stockholder has completed the distribution of such shares, whichever occurs first), and to do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Stockholder to consummate the disposition of such shares 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 be required but for this Section 1.3.4, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction); provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement with respect to the bearing of expenses, if any such jurisdiction shall require that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of such shares in that jurisdiction be borne in part or full by such Stockholder, then such Stockholder shall pay such expenses to the extent required by such jurisdiction;

1.3.5 notify such Stockholder, at any time when a prospectus relating to such shares of Common Stock is required to be delivered under the Act within the period that the Company is required to keep the registration statement effective, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in any such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the

purchasers of such shares, 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;

1.3.6 cause all such shares to be listed on securities exchanges, if any, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

1.3.7 provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such shares (if the Company does not already have such an agent) not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

1.3.8 enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other actions as such Stockholder reasonably requests (and subject to its reasonable approval) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such shares; and

1.3.9 make available for inspection by such Stockholder, by any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and by any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Stockholder or by any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties (other than confidential intellectual property) of the Company.

1.4.: Holdback Agreement

If requested by the Company or the representatives of the underwriters of Equity Securities of the Company, each Stockholder shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Equity Securities of the Company held by such Stockholder (other than those included in a registration, if applicable) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters, which period shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act, provided that all directors and executive officers of the Company enter into similar agreements. Each Stockholder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may reasonably be requested by the Company or the underwriter that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. The obligations described in this Section 1.4 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Equity Securities subject to the foregoing restrictions, not to exceed a one hundred eighty (180) day period.

1.5.: Registration Expenses

1.5.1. Stockholder Expenses

If, pursuant to Section 1.1 or 1.2 hereof, shares of Common Stock owned by any Stockholder are included in a registration statement, then such Stockholder shall pay all transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale of its shares, the fees and expenses of its own counsel (other than the one counsel provided for in Section 1.5.2.), and its pro rata portion of any underwriting discounts or commissions or the equivalent thereof.

1.5.2. Company Expenses

Except for the fees and expenses specified in Section 1.5.1 hereof and except as provided below in this Section 1.5.2, the Company shall pay all expenses incident to the registration and to the Company's performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, underwriting discounts, fees and expenses (other than such Stockholder's pro rata portion of any underwriting discounts or commissions or the equivalent thereof), the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on exchanges on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, internal expenses of the Company (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing

legal or accounting duties), fees and expenses of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants and other persons retained by the Company and fees and expenses of one counsel to represent all Stockholders participating in the registration.

1.5.3. Indemnity

In the event that any shares of Common Stock owned by a Stockholder are sold by means of a registration statement pursuant to Section 1.1 or 1.2 hereof, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Stockholder, each of its officers and directors, and each person, if any, who controls or may control such Stockholder within the meaning of the Act from and against all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, penalties, and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) (hereinafter referred to in this Section 1.5.3 in the singular as a "claim" and in the plural as "claims") asserted against, resulting from, imposed upon or incurred by such indemnified person, directly or indirectly, based upon, arising out of or resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement or any omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such claim is based upon, arises out of or results from information furnished in writing to the Company by such Stockholder for use in connection with the registration statement. Such Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors, and each person, if any, who controls or may control the Company within the meaning of the Act from and against all claims asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by such indemnified person, directly or indirectly, based upon, arising out of or resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement or any omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statement made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, to the extent that such claim is based upon, arises out of or results from information furnished in writing to the Company by such Stockholder for use in connection with the registration statement. The indemnifications set forth herein shall be in addition to any liability the Company or such Stockholder may otherwise have to the indemnified persons. Promptly after actually receiving definitive notice of any claim in respect of which an indemnified person may seek indemnification under this Section 1.5.3, such indemnified person shall submit written notice thereof to the indemnifying person under this Section 1.5.3. The failure of such indemnified person so to notify such indemnifying person of any such claim shall not relieve the indemnifying person from any liability it may have hereunder except to the extent that (i) such liability was caused or increased by such failure or (ii) the ability of the indemnifying person to reduce such liability was materially adversely affected by such failure. In addition, the failure of the indemnified person so to notify the indemnifying person of any such claim shall not relieve the indemnifying person from any liability it may have otherwise than hereunder. The indemnifying person shall have the right to undertake, by counsel or representatives of its own choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement (without admitting liability of the indemnified person) of any such claim asserted, such defense, compromise or settlement to be undertaken at the expense and risk of the indemnifying person, and the indemnified person shall have the right to engage separate counsel, at its own expense, whom counsel for the indemnifying person shall keep informed and consult with in a reasonable manner. In the event the indemnifying person shall elect not to undertake such defense by its own representatives, the indemnifying person shall give prompt written notice of such election to the indemnified person, and the indemnified person shall undertake the defense, compromise or settlement (without admitting liability of the indemnified person) thereof on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying person by counsel or other representatives designated by the indemnified person. In the event that any claim shall arise out of a transaction or cover any period or periods wherein the Company and such Stockholder shall each be liable hereunder for part of the liability or obligation arising therefrom, then the parties shall, each

choosing its own counsel and bearing its own expenses, defend such claim, and no settlement or compromise of such claim may be made without the joint consent or approval of the Company and such Stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnifying person shall be obligated hereunder with respect to amounts paid in settlement of any claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of such indemnifying person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

1.6.: Termination of Registration Rights

Except with respect to registrations previously requested or in process, the registration rights set forth in Section 1.1 and 1.2 shall terminate as to any Equity Securities that become (i) eligible for sale in compliance with Rule 144(k) under the Act (or any similar rule then in force) or (ii) otherwise eligible for sale and saleable within any consecutive three (3) month period pursuant to Rule 144.
