WHEREAS, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 10, 2014 by and among Ormat Industries, Ltd., an Israeli corporation, the Corporation and Ormat Systems, Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), the Stockholder will receive Voting Securities (as defined below) in exchange for its outstanding shares in Ormat Industries, Ltd.; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement to establish, effective as of and subject to the Closing (as defined in the Share Exchange Agreement), certain arrangements with respect to the Voting Securities owned by the Stockholder and its Affiliates following the Closing as well as restrictions on certain activities in respect of such Voting Securities.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. The following terms, as used herein, have the following meanings:

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person; provided that no securityholder of the Corporation shall be deemed an Affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or any other securityholder solely by reason of any investment in the Corporation or such securityholder’s beneficial ownership of Voting Securities. For the purpose of this definition, the term “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling”, “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

“beneficial ownership” and “beneficially own” shall be determined in accordance with Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act.

“Commission” means the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor agency of the United States government administering the Securities Act.

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any similar or successor federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, as in effect at the time.

“Person” means an individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust or other entity or organization, including, without limitation, any transnational, domestic or foreign federal, state or local, governmental, regulatory or administrative (including social security) authority, department, court, agency or official, including any political subdivision thereof.

“Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any successor federal statute, together with the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, as in effect at the time.

“Total Voting Power” means the aggregate number of votes which may be cast by holders of outstanding Voting Securities.

“Transfer” means, with respect to any Voting Securities, (i) when used as a verb, to sell, assign, dispose of, exchange, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise transfer (whether by operation of law, a distribution in kind or otherwise and whether with or without consideration) such Voting Securities or any economic participation or interest therein, whether directly or indirectly, or agree or commit to do any of the foregoing and (ii) when used as a noun, a direct or indirect sale, assignment, disposition, exchange, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or other transfer (whether by operation of law, a distribution in kind or otherwise and whether with or without consideration) of such Voting Securities or any participation or interest therein or any agreement or commitment to do any of the foregoing. For purposes of this Agreement, the term Transfer shall include the sale, assignment, disposition, exchange, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or other transfer (whether by operation of law, a distribution in kind or otherwise and whether with or without consideration) of an Affiliate of the Stockholder or the Stockholder’s interest in an Affiliate that beneficially owns Voting Securities unless the Stockholder retains beneficial ownership of such Voting Securities following such transaction.

“Voting Securities” means all securities of the Corporation entitled, in the ordinary course, to vote in the election of directors of the Corporation.

Section 2. Permitted Acquisitions. The Stockholder agrees that for so long as this Agreement remains in effect with respect to the Stockholder, it will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, without the Corporation’s prior written consent acquire or agree to acquire (whether by purchase, through the acquisition of control of another Person, through the use of a derivative instrument or voting agreement or otherwise), any Voting Securities if, after such acquisition, the Stockholder, together with its Affiliates, would beneficially own Voting Securities representing in the aggregate more than 12% of the Total Voting Power.

Section 3. Voting Neutralization. The Stockholder agrees that at any time any action is to be taken by the Corporation’s stockholders (at a stockholders meeting, by written consent in lieu thereof or otherwise), the Stockholder shall vote or cause to be voted all Voting Securities owned by the Stockholder in the aggregate in excess of 9% of the Total Voting Power in proportion to votes cast by all the Corporation's holders of Voting Securities other than the Stockholder and FIMI ENRG, Limited Partnership, an Israeli limited partnership, and FIMI ENRG, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“FIMI”). The Stockholder shall cause all Voting Securities owned by the Stockholder to be represented, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of holders of Voting Securities of which the Stockholder has actual notice, so that such Voting Securities may be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings. Upon the written request of the Corporation, the Stockholder will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Company a proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A in order to give effect to this Section 3.

Section 4 Transfers.

(a) Prior to January 1, 2017, the Stockholder may not, without the approval of the Corporation determined by a majority of the directors not affiliated or associated with the Stockholder, sell Voting Securities that, taken together with the Voting Securities sold by FIMI after the Closing, represent more than 10% of all Voting Securities owned in the aggregate by the Stockholder and FIMI as of the Closing, regardless of any other agreement, ruling or other document that would otherwise permit such sale. Following January 1, 2017, the Stockholder shall not be restricted from making sales of Voting Securities but shall not extend any shareholders’ agreement with FIMI (which will terminate on May 22, 2017) and shall not act in concert with FIMI for the purpose of selling Voting Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following January 1, 2017, the Stockholder may act in concert with FIMI to sell Voting Securities if the Stockholder provides the Corporation with at least 20 days’ prior written notice (the “Notice”). The Corporation’s response to the Notice shall be determined by a majority of the directors not affiliated or associated with the Stockholder.

(b) The provisions of Section 4(a) shall not apply to sales of Voting Securities: (i) in any public market, (ii) by means of a prospectus included in any registration statement filed or to be filed by the Corporation with the Commission, (iii) as part of a merger or other acquisition of the Corporation approved by the Corporation's Board of Directors, or (iv) through a public tender offer; provided that the Stockholder may not intentionally sell Voting Securities pursuant to Section 4(b)(i) to a single buyer or group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act).

(c) For the purposes of this Section 4, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Stockholder and FIMI shall not be deemed to be acting in concert solely due to the existence of: (i) any tax escrow agreement, (ii) this Agreement or (iii) any agreement between the Corporation and FIMI in a form substantially similar to this Agreement.

Section 5 Ownership Information. The Stockholder shall provide to the Corporation such information at any time as the Corporation may reasonably request concerning the Stockholder’s beneficial ownership of Voting Securities as of such time, together with the names of the direct owners of such Voting Securities.

Section 6. Registration Rights. At the request of the Stockholder, at and subject to the Closing, the Corporation and the Stockholder shall enter into a Registration Rights Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the “RRA”). Any and all provisions of the RRA shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in all respects, and in the event of any inconsistency between the terms or conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the RRA, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail.

Section 7 Termination.

(a) This Agreement (other than Sections 7 through Section 16) shall terminate upon the earliest of (a) the termination of the Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to its terms (i.e., prior to the consummation of the transactions set forth therein), (b) other than with respect to Section 6 hereof, the written agreement of the Corporation (acting at the direction of a majority of the directors not affiliated or associated with any of the Stockholder) to terminate this Agreement and (c) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation.

(b) This Agreement (other than Sections 7 through 16) shall terminate three months after the Stockholder, together with its Affiliates, beneficially owns Voting Securities representing less than 4% of the aggregate Total Voting Power (continuously for such three-month period).

Section 8 Amendments; No Waivers. (a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is (i) in writing and (ii) signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Stockholder and the Corporation (acting at the direction of a majority of the directors not affiliated or associated with the Stockholder), or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective (provided that any waiver by the Corporation shall be made only with the approval of a majority of the directors not affiliated or associated with the Stockholder).

(b) No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

Section 9. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

Section 10. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts. Each shall be deemed an original, but together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronic mail. Any signatures delivered by means of facsimile or electronic mail shall have the same legal effect as manual signatures.

Section 11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the parties with respect thereto. No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein or therein has been made or relied upon by any of the parties hereto.

Section 12. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 13. Specific Performance. The Corporation and the Stockholder agree that the Corporation would be irreparably injured by a breach of this Agreement by the Stockholder and its Affiliates and that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, the Corporation shall be entitled, in addition to any and all other remedies, to injunctive relief and specific performance without the necessity of providing any bond or other security, and the Stockholder hereby irrevocably consents to such relief.

Section 14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflict or choice of laws.

Section 15. Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflict or choice of laws. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Chancery Court (or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or other Delaware state court), and the parties hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and irrevocably waive to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the parties may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The parties agree that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon you and may be enforced in any other courts to whose jurisdiction you are or may be subject by suit upon such judgment.

Section 16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Article 2
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.01. Demand Registration. (a) Request for Registration. Subject to the provisions hereof, at any time, a Stockholder may make a written request (a “Demand”) that the Company prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement, so as to permit a public offering and sale of Registrable Securities held by the Stockholders. Any Demand shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered by the Stockholder and the intended method of disposition thereof. A registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.01 is hereinafter referred to as a “Demand Registration.” Each Stockholder may initiate one Demand; provided that if a Stockholder has not initiated a Demand before such time as it no longer holds Registrable Securities, the other Stockholder may make a second Demand.

(b) Limitation on Demand Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.01(a) hereof no Demand may be made less than one hundred and eighty (180) days following the effective date of a Registration Statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.

(c) Right to Delay Demand Registration. If, at any time when a Demand is received by the Company, (i) the Company has undertaken to prepare a registration statement which is intended to be filed within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date the Demand was received, or (ii) the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith that filing a Registration Statement in response to such Demand either (A) would require the Company to make a public disclosure of information which would have a material adverse effect upon the Company or would be significantly disadvantageous to the Company or its shareholders or (B) could interfere with, or would require the Company to accelerate public disclosure of, any material financing, acquisition, disposition, corporate reorganization or other material transaction involving the Company or its subsidiaries, then the Company may, at its sole option, cause the registration requested pursuant to the Demand to be delayed for a period not in excess of one hundred and twenty (120) days from the effective date of the registration statement which the Company is preparing or from the date such Demand was received (such right to delay a request pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 2.01(c) may be exercised by the Company not more than twice in any calendar year). If there is a postponement under this Section 2.01(c), the Stockholders may withdraw such Demand by giving notice in writing to the Company. In such case, no Demand will have been delivered for the purposes of this Section 2.01.

(d) Company and Stockholder Participation. The Company and the other Stockholder may elect to register in any Registration Statement prepared pursuant to a Demand made under this Section 2.01 any additional shares of Common Stock (including, with respect to the Company, any shares of Common Stock to be distributed in a primary offering made by the Company). Such election, if made, shall be made by each of the Company and the other Stockholder by giving written notice to the initiating Stockholder stating (i) that the Company or the other Stockholder, as the case may be, proposes to include additional shares of Common Stock in such Registration Statement and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be so included.

(e) Withdrawal Right. The initiating Stockholder shall have the right to withdraw any Demand by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw; provided, however, that (i) such withdrawal request must be made in writing prior to the earlier of (A) the execution of the underwriting agreement or the execution of the custody agreement with respect to such Demand Registration or (B) in the absence of any such agreement, the date on which the Registration Statement filed pursuant to such Demand is declared effective, and (ii) such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, the initiating Stockholder shall not be entitled to make any subsequent Demand for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of such withdrawal.

inte

(f) Effective Demand. For purpose of clause (ii) of Section 2.01(b) hereof, a Demand, if made pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and not withdrawn in accordance with Section 2.01(e), shall be deemed to have been made only if (i) in response thereto, the Company shall have filed a Registration Statement, (ii) such Registration Statement shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act and (iii) such Registration Statement shall not have become the subject of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or any other governmental or administrative agency which prevents the sale of the relevant Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement, and no court prevents or otherwise limits the sale of such securities pursuant to such Registration Statement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.01(f), a Demand shall be deemed to have been made by a Stockholder, if the Stockholder made a Demand and either (x) withdrew such Demand after the earlier of (A) the execution of the underwriting agreement or the execution of the custody agreement with respect to such Demand Registration or (B) in the absence of any such agreement, the date on which the Registration Statement filed pursuant to such Demand is declared effective, or (y) the failure of one or more of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.01(f) to be satisfied is attributable to the acts or omissions of the Stockholder.

Section 2.02. Piggyback Registration. (a) Notice of Registration. If, at any time, the Company proposes to file a registration statement with the Commission in connection with any public offering of Common Stock (other than in connection with its initial public offering of Common Stock), whether for the account of the Company or any other Person (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or any successor forms under the Securities Act) or other registrations relating solely to employee benefit plans or any transaction governed by Rule 145 under the Securities Act), the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing and the proposed date thereof to each Stockholder that owns Registrable Securities at least twenty (20) days before the anticipated filing of such registration statement, offering such Stockholder the opportunity to offer and sell Registrable Securities owned by such Person, by means of the prospectus contained in such registration statement. If such Stockholder desires to have its Registrable Securities registered under such registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.02, such Stockholder shall advise the Company thereof in writing within ten (10) days from the provision of the Company’s notice (which request shall set forth the number of Registrable Securities for which registration is requested). Subject to Section 2.03 hereof, the Company shall include in such registration statement, if filed, all Registrable Securities so requested by such Stockholder to be included so as to permit such securities to be sold or disposed of in the manner and on the terms set forth in such request. Such registration shall hereinafter be called a “Piggyback Registration.” The Company shall have the right at any time to delay or discontinue, without liability to the Stockholders, any Piggyback Registration under this Section 2.02 at any time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement if the proposed offering of Common Stock contemplated thereunder is discontinued.

(b) Withdrawal Right. Any Stockholder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.02 by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw; provided, however, that (i) such withdrawal request must be made in writing prior to the earlier of the execution of the underwriting agreement or the execution of the custody agreement with respect to such Piggyback Registration and (ii) such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, such Stockholder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Securities in the Piggyback Registration from which such Stockholder withdrew.

Section 2.03. Allocation of Securities Included in Registration Statements. In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Stockholders have requested to include Registrable Securities which relates to an underwritten public offering, if the managing underwriter(s) of such offering advise(s) that the inclusion in such Registration Statement of some or all of the shares sought to be registered thereunder exceeds the number of shares (the “Saleable Number”) that can be sold in an orderly fashion without a substantial risk that the price per share to be derived from such registration will be materially and adversely affected, then the number of shares offered thereunder shall be limited to the Saleable Number and shall be allocated, subject to Section 3.05 below, as follows:

(i) if such registration is being effected in connection with any Piggyback Registration requested by the Stockholders for inclusion pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof, (A) first, to all the shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to register for its own account, (B) second, the difference, if any, between the Saleable Number and the number of shares to be included pursuant to clause (A) above, to Registrable Securities of the Stockholders, pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by each such Stockholder, until such Stockholders have sold all such Registrable Securities, and (C) third, the difference, if any, between the Saleable Number and the number of shares to be included pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) above, to all other selling shareholders, pro rata on the basis of the number of shares offered for sale by each such shareholder; and

(ii) if the registration is being effected pursuant to a Demand Registration requested by a Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, (A) first, to Registrable Securities of the Stockholders, pro rata, on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by each such Stockholder, until such Stockholders have sold all such Registrable Securities, (B) second, the difference, if any, between the Saleable Number and the number of shares to be included pursuant to clause (A) above, to shares that the Company proposes to register for its own account, and (C) third, the difference, if any, between the Saleable Number and the number of shares to be included pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) above, to all other selling shareholders, pro rata on the basis of the number of shares requested to be included by each such shareholder.

Section 2.04. Certain Notices; Suspension of Sales. The Company may, upon written notice to the Registering Stockholders, suspend such Registering Stockholder’s use of any Prospectus (which is a part of any Registration Statement) for a reasonable period not to exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days if the Company in its reasonable judgment believes it may possess material non-public information the disclosure of which in its reasonable judgment would have a material adverse effect on the Company and/or its subsidiaries. Each Registering Stockholder of Registrable Securities agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities to hold any communication by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.04 in confidence.

Article 3
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

Section 3.01. Registration Procedures. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, whenever the Company is required to effect or cause the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Article II hereof, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as quickly as practicable. In connection with any Demand Registration, the Company shall, except as set forth in Section 2.01(c), as expeditiously as possible (and in no event more than one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of receipt of a Demand) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on such form (including Form S-3) for which the Company then qualifies as the Company shall deem appropriate and which shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and in accordance with the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause any Registration Statement filed hereunder to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof with the Commission, including, without limitation, preparing and/or filing with the Commission such other documents as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04 hereof, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement filed hereunder and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective (pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or otherwise) until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities registered therein shall have been sold, and (ii) ninety (90) days after such Registration Statement is declared effective. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock so registered to be listed, commencing not later than the effective date of the applicable registration statement, on the NYSE or such other national securities exchange (including the Nasdaq National Market) on which the Company’s shares of Common Stock are listed at such time, and the Company shall enter into all related customary agreements, including a listing application and indemnification agreement in customary form, and provide a transfer agent and registrar for the shares of Common Stock being registered not later than the effective date of the applicable registration statement. The Company shall take such other actions as are reasonable and necessary to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or with the reasonable request of any Registering Stockholder with respect to the registration, qualification and distribution of the shares of Common Stock to be registered.

Section 3.02. Copies; Review. (a) At least five (5) Business Days before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (whether before or after effectiveness), the Company will furnish to the Registering Stockholders copies of all such documents proposed to be filed. Such documents will be subject to the review of the Registering Stockholders. The Company will immediately amend such Registration Statement and Prospectus to include such reasonable changes as the Registering Stockholders and the Company reasonably agree should be included therein. Any Registering Stockholder requesting a change which, in its reasonable judgment, is unreasonably refused by the Company may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

(b) The Company shall make available for inspection by any Registering Stockholder, any underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such Stockholder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all material financial and other records, pertinent documents and properties of the Company as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility. The Company shall cause its officers, directors and employees to supply all material information requested by any such Inspector in connection with any such Registration Statement.

Section 3.03. Amendments. Subject to Section 2.04 hereof, the Company shall (a) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the applicable time period required herein, (b) cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and (c) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Registering Stockholders set forth in such Registration Statement or Prospectus supplement.

Section 3.04. Notification. The Company shall promptly notify the Registering Stockholders and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notification in writing, (a) when the Prospectus has been filed, and, with respect to the Registration Statement, when it has become effective, (b) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information, (c) of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or the refusal or suspension of qualification of registration of Registrable Securities, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (d) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (e) of any event that makes any material statement made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference untrue or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any material respect. Subject to Section 2.04 hereof, the Company will make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment. If any event contemplated by clause (e) occurs, subject to Section 2.04 hereof, the Company shall promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company that any event of the kind described in clause (b), (c), (d) or (e) has happened, each Registering Stockholder shall discontinue offering the Registrable Securities until the Registering Stockholder receives the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by the previous sentence, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus.

Section 3.05. Information Included. The Company may require each Registering Stockholder to furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding the Registering Stockholder and the distribution of the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Registration Statement, and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such registration including, without limitation, all such information as may be requested by the Commission or the NYSE or any other applicable national exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed or to be listed. Each Registering Stockholder shall provide such information in writing and signed by such Stockholder and stated to be specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement. The Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any Registering Stockholder that fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. Each Registering Stockholder agrees to furnish to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Registering Stockholder not misleading. If requested by the Registering Stockholders, the Company will, as soon as practicable, incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Registering Stockholders reasonably request be included therein relating to the sale of the Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold and any other terms of the distribution of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such Offering. Subject to Section 2.04 hereof, the Company will make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as promptly as practicable after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.

Section 3.06. Underwritten Offerings. In the event that the distribution of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be effected by means of an underwriting, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) if such distribution of Registrable Securities is being effected pursuant to a Demand Registration, the underwriter(s) shall be designated by the initiating Stockholder with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld);

(b) the Company shall (i) cooperate with the underwriter(s), including attending any road shows and providing such assistance as the underwriter(s) may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any materials necessary or desirable to effect such underwriting, (ii) enter into any such underwriting agreement as shall be appropriate under the circumstances, (iii) use its best efforts to comply with and satisfy all of the terms and conditions of each such underwriting agreement to which it shall be a party, and (iv) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission including, without limitation, applicable reporting requirements under the Exchange Act;

(c) if such distribution of Registrable Securities is being effected pursuant to a Demand Registration, including, without limitation, in any primary offering by the Company, any over-allotment option to be granted to the managing underwriter(s) shall be allocated to and granted by any Person designated by the Stockholders, and if such distribution is being effected pursuant to a Piggyback Registration, any over-allotment option to be granted to the managing underwriter(s) shall be allocated to and granted by the Company (in the event of any primary offering by the Company) and all selling shareholders pro-rata based on the number of shares sold pursuant to such offering; and

(d) the Registering Stockholder(s) shall enter into underwriting agreement(s), power(s) of attorney and custody agreement(s), which agreements and powers shall contain customary provisions as shall be appropriate under the circumstances.

Section 3.07. Copies. The Company will (a) promptly furnish to the Registering Stockholders without charge, at least one signed copy of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference), and (b) promptly deliver to the Registering Stockholders without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each Preliminary Prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by the Registering Stockholders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

Section 3.08. Blue Sky Registration. Prior to any offering of Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under Section 2.01 or 2.02, the Company will register or qualify or cooperate with the Registering Stockholders and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities under the securities or blue sky laws of any such jurisdictions in the United States as the Registering Stockholders reasonably request in writing, and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registrable Securities. The Company will not be required to take any actions under this Section 3.08 if such actions would require the Company to (a) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (b) submit to the general taxation of any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (c) file in any jurisdiction any general consent to service of process.

Section 3.09. Certificates. The Company will cooperate with the Registering Stockholders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold that do not bear any restrictive legends. Such certificates will be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Registering Stockholders request at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.

Section 3.10. Section 11(a) Notice. The Company will make generally available to its shareholders the information required pursuant to the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

Article 4
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 4.01. Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Registering Stockholders and each Person, if any, who controls a Registering Stockholder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act ) (each, a “Stockholder Control Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (“Losses”) reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action suit or proceeding or any claim asserted to which the Registering Stockholder or Stockholder Control Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state securities laws or regulations, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (b) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or other federal or state securities laws applicable to the Company and relating to any action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration. In addition, the Company will reimburse the Registering Stockholder and Stockholder Control Person(s) for any reasonable investigation, legal or other expenses incurred by such Registering Stockholder or Stockholder Control Person(s) in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not be liable with respect to the portion of any such Loss that (i) arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus, or amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Registering Stockholders specifically for use therein or (ii) attributable to a Registering Stockholder’s (A) use of a Prospectus after being notified by the Company to suspend use thereof pursuant to Section 3.04 above or (B) failure to deliver a final Prospectus to the Person asserting any losses, claims, damages and liabilities and judgments caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if such material misstatement or omission or alleged material misstatement or omission was cured in an amended or supplemented Prospectus prepared by the Company and delivered to the Registering Stockholder at or prior to the time written confirmation of sale to such Person was required to be made. The foregoing indemnity will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Registering Stockholder or Stockholder Control Person, and will survive the transfer of such securities by the Registering Stockholder.

Section 4.02. Indemnification by Registering Stockholders. If a Registering Stockholder sells Registrable Securities under a Prospectus that is part of a Registration Statement, the Registering Stockholder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each officer who signed such Registration Statement and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) (each, a “Controlling Person”) under the same circumstances as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Registering Stockholders and Stockholder Control Persons, but only to the extent that such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact that was made in the Prospectus, the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to a Registering Stockholder or a Stockholder Control Person furnished to the Company by a Registering Stockholder expressly for use therein. In no event will the aggregate liability of a Registering Stockholder and/or a Stockholder Control Person exceed the amount of the net proceeds received by the Registering Stockholder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or such officer, director, employee or Controlling Person and will survive the transfer of such securities by the Registering Stockholder.

Section 4.03. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 4.01 or 4.02 is unavailable to an indemnified party, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, will have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses. Such contribution will be in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and indemnified party, on the other hand, will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any such Losses will be deemed to include any investigation, legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding, to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 4.01 or 4.02 was available to such party. If, however, the allocation provided above is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults but also the relative benefits of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 4.03 were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentences of this Section 4.03. 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.

Section 4.04. Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (a) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification, and (b) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve an indemnifying party of liability except to the extent it has been prejudiced as a result of such failure. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of such Person and not of the indemnifying party unless (x) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, (y) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person within a reasonable period of time pursuant to this Agreement, or (z) a conflict of interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims that would make such separate representation required under applicable ethical rules. In the case of clause (z) above, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnified party will be required to consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term the giving of a release, by all claimants or plaintiffs to such indemnified party from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation. Any 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 (other than required local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim.

Article 5
OTHER AGREEMENTS

Section 5.01. Restrictions on Public Sale by the Stockholders. If requested by the managing underwriter(s) of an underwritten public offering, the Stockholders will not effect any public sale or distribution of securities of the same class (or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into securities of the same class) as the securities included in such offering (including, but not limited to, a sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act) during the 10-day period prior to and the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of, such offering (the “Lock-Up Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period the Company issues an earnings release or material news of a material event relating to the Company occurs or (b) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 17-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, then the Lock-Up Period shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 17-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.

Section 5.02. Rule 144. The Company shall file, on a timely basis, all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and will take such further action and provide such documents as the Stockholders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Stockholders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the conditions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of a Stockholder, the Company will deliver to the Stockholder a statement verifying that it has complied with such information and requirements.
