ARTICLE VIII

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 8.01.Demand Registration.

(a)Subject to the conditions of this Section 8.01, if following an Initial Offering the Company shall receive a written request from the Holders of at least 20% of the Registrable Securities or Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, then the Company shall, within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 8.01, use its best efforts to effect, as expeditiously as reasonably possible and in any event not later than 60 days after receipt of such notice (subject to the Company’s right to delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any registration statement pursuant to Section 8.05), the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that all Holders request to be registered.

(b)If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 8.01 or any request pursuant to Section 8.03and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.03(a), as applicable. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all Initiating Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.01 or Section 8.03, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders); provided,

​

​

however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration; and provided further that if less than seventy five (75%) of the Registrable Securities covered by the request of the Initiating Holders is included in the underwriting, the registration shall not qualify as a demand registration pursuant to this Section 8.01. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.

(c)The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 8.01:

(i)after the Company has effected three (3) registrations pursuant to this Section 8.01, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;

(ii)during the one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the registration statement pertaining to the Initial Offering; or

(iii)in the case of the Initial Offering, if within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request from Initiating Holders pursuant to Section 8.01 (a), the Company gives notice to the Holders of the Company’s intention to file a registration statement for its Initial Offering within ninety (90) days.

Section 8.02.Piggyback Registration.

The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding Special Registration Statements) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within fifteen (15) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein

(a)Underwriting. If the registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 8.02 is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder to include Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the underwriter determines

​

​

in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company; second, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders; and third, to any stockholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis; provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the registration below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration without the written consent of holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, unless such offering is the Initial Offering and such registration does not include shares of any other selling stockholders, in which event any or all of the Registrable Securities of the Holders may be excluded in accordance with the immediately preceding clause. In no event will shares of any other selling stockholder be included in such registration without the written consent of NACS if such inclusion would reduce the number of shares that may be included by Holders. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder which is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the partners, retired partners, members, retired members and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, retired partners, members and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing person shall be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

(b)Right to Termination Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 8.02 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration, and shall promptly notify any Holder that has elected to include shares in such registration of such termination or withdrawal. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 8.04 hereof.

Section 8.03.Form S-3 Registration.

In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or any similar short-form registration statement and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:

(a)promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and

(b)as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company

​

​

shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 8.03;

(i)if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders, or

(ii)if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), or

(iii)if within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request from any Holder or Holders pursuant to this Section 8.03, the Company gives notice to such Holder or Holders of the Company’s intention to make a public offering within ninety (90) days, other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement provided that such Holders were permitted to register such shares as requested to be registered pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof without reduction by the underwriter thereof, or

(iv)if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 8.03; provided, that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than twice in any consecutive twelve (12) month period.

(c)Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Section 8.01.

Section 8.04.Expenses of Registration.

Except as specifically provided herein, all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 8.01or any registration under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 herein shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder, shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 8.01 or Section 8.03, the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders unless (a) the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information concerning the Company of which the Initiating Holders were not aware at the time of such request or (b) NACS agrees to deem such registration to have been effected as of the date of such withdrawal for purposes of determining whether the Company shall be obligated pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or Section 8.03(b)(iv), as applicable, to undertake any subsequent registration, in which event such right shall be forfeited by all Holders). If the Holders are required to pay the Registration Expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the Holders of securities (including Registrable Securities) requesting such registration in proportion to the

​

​

number of shares for which registration was requested. If the Company is required to pay the Registration Expenses of a withdrawn offering pursuant to clause (a) above, then such registration shall not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of determining whether the Company shall be obligated pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or Section 8.03(b)(iv), as applicable, to undertake any subsequent registration.

Section 8.05.Obligations of the Company.

Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a)Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution related thereto; provided, however, that at any time, upon written notice to the participating Holders and for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days thereafter (the “Suspension Period”), the Company may delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any registration statement (and the Initiating Holders hereby agree not to offer or sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement during the Suspension Period) if the Company reasonably believes that there is or may be in existence material nonpublic information or events involving the Company, the failure of which to be disclosed in the prospectus included in the registration statement could result in a Violation (as defined below). In the event that the Company shall exercise its right to delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of a registration hereunder, the applicable time period during which the registration statement is to remain effective shall be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of the Suspension Period. The Company may extend the Suspension Period for an additional consecutive sixty (60) days with the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered under the applicable registration statement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall any Suspension Period, when taken together with all prior Suspension Periods, exceed 120 days in the aggregate. If so directed by the Company, all Holders registering shares under such registration statement shall (i) not offer to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement during the period in which the delay or suspension is in effect after receiving notice of such delay or suspension; and (ii) use their best efforts to deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holders’ possession, of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file, cause to become effective or maintain the effectiveness of any registration statement other than a registration statement on Form S-3 that contemplates a distribution of securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

(b)Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in subsection (a) above.

(c)Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

​

​

(d)Use all reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

(e)In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

(f)Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. The Company will use all reasonable efforts to amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include 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 in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(g)Use all reasonable efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a letter, dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering addressed to the underwriters.

Section 8.06.Termination of Registration Rights.

All registration rights granted under this Article VIII shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the later of (a) five (5) years after the date of the Company’s Initial Offering and (b) such date that all Holders are able to dispose of all of their Registrable Securities within a 90 day period under Rule 144 (whether or not applicable).

Section 8.07.Delay of Registration; Furnishing Information.

(a)No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Article VIII.

(b)It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.

​

​

(c)The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any registration requested pursuant to Section 8.01 or Section 8.03 if, due to the operation of subsection 8.01(b), the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company’s obligation to initiate such registration as specified in Section 8.01 or Section 8.03, whichever is applicable.

Section 8.08.Indemnification.

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.03:

(a)To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, officers and directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”) by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or incorporated by reference therein, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, member, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8.08(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, member, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.

(b)To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, or partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under

the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or incorporated by reference therein, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Holder of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law (collectively, a “Holder Violation”), in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Holder Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder under an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, or partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Holder Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8.08(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 8.08 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8.08 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8.08, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 8.08 to the extent, and only to the extent, prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8.08.

(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.08 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability 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 in connection with the Violation(s) or Holder Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the

​

​

indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law 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; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

(e)The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 8.08 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and, with respect to liability arising from an offering to which this Section 8.08 would apply that is covered by a registration filed before termination of this Agreement, such termination. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation

Section 8.09.Assignment of Registration Rights.

(a)Each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell, transfer, make any

(i)such agreement shall apply only to the Company’s Initial Offering; and

(ii)all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least one percent (1%) of the Company’s voting securities enter into similar agreements.

(b)The Company covenants that it will require all future holders of its capital stock (including holders of options or other convertible securities to purchase capital stock of the Company) to enter into a market stand-off agreement on terms comparable to those set forth in Section 8.12(a) above.

Section 8.13.Agreement to Furnish Information.

Each Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter that are consistent with the Holder’s obligations under Section 8.12 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Holder shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations described in Section 8.12 and this Section 8.13 shall not apply to a Special Registration Statement. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the Restricted Period.

Any purported Transfer of Membership Units other than a Permitted Transfer shall be null and void.

(b)No Member shall Transfer any of its Membership Units at any time if such action would:

(i)constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws of any jurisdiction or a breach of the conditions to any exemption from registration of securities under any Applicable Laws;

​

​

Federal income Tax principles.

(c)Each Transferee of Membership Units shall execute and deliver a counterpart of this Agreement. Each such Transferee of Membership Units shall thereafter be deemed to be a Member hereunder and shall have the benefit of, and be subject to, all of the rights, obligations and limitations with respect to such Transferred Membership Units (including the restrictions on Transfers set forth in this Article X) to the same extent as the transferring Member under this Agreement; provided, that in the event of a Transfer by a Member to an Affiliate, such Member shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder.

Each such certificate evidencing any Membership Units owned by any Member on the Effective Date, or hereafter acquired by any Member, shall contain the following restrictive legend:

(c)In the event the conditions set forth in Section 10.02(a) or Section 10.02(b) above are not satisfied in connection with any Transfer subject thereto, the Company shall not recognize the attempted purchaser, assignee, or transferee for any purpose whatsoever, such Transfer shall be null and void, and the Member attempting such Transfer shall have breached this Agreement for which the Company and the other Members shall have all remedies available for breach of contract.

Any such person shall, therefore, be entitled to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations (in addition to remedies at law or damages), and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

EXHIBIT B

REGULATORY ALLOCATIONS EXHIBIT

This Exhibit contains special rules for the allocation of items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction that override the basic allocations of Profits and Losses pursuant to the Agreement to the extent necessary to cause the overall allocations of items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction to have substantial economic effect pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted in light of that purpose. Subsection (a) below contains special technical definitions. Subsections (b) through (h) contain the Regulatory Allocations themselves. Subsections (i), (j) and (k) are special rules applicable in applying the Regulatory Allocations.

(a)Definitions. For purposes of the Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

(i)“Adjusted Capital Account” means, with respect to each Member or assignee, such Person’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Year (A) increased by any amounts which such Person is obligated to restore, or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the next to last sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) (share of minimum gain) and 1.704-2(0(5) (share of member nonrecourse debt minimum gain) and (B) decreased by the items described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),(5) and (6).

(ii)“Capital Accounts” means with respect to each Member or assignee an account maintained and adjusted in accordance with the following provisions:

(a)Each Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by such Member’s Capital Contributions, such Member’s distributive share of Profits, any items in the nature of income or gain that are allocated pursuant to the Regulatory Allocations and the amount of any Company liabilities that are assumed by such Member or that are secured by a Company asset distributed to such Member.

(b)Each Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by the amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset distributed to such Member pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, such Member’s distributive share of Losses, any items in the nature of loss or deduction that are allocated pursuant to the Regulatory Allocations, and the amount of any liabilities of such Member that are assumed by the Company or that are secured by any asset contributed by such Member to the Company.

(c)In the event all or any portion of the beneficial ownership of a Membership Interest is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the portion of the Membership Interest so Transferred.

(iii)“Company Minimum Gain” has the meaning of “partnership minimum gain” set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d), and is generally the aggregate gain the

​

​

Company would realize if it disposed of its property subject to Nonrecourse Liabilities in full satisfaction of each such liability and for no other consideration, with such other modifications as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d). In the case of Nonrecourse Liabilities for which the creditor’s recourse is not limited to particular assets of the Company, until such time as there is regulatory guidance on the determination of minimum gain with respect to such liabilities, all such liabilities of the Company shall be treated as a single liability and allocated to the Company’s assets using any reasonable basis selected by the Managing Members.

(iv)“Depreciation” means, for each Fiscal Year, an amount equal to the depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction allowable for Federal income tax purposes with respect to an asset for such Fiscal Year; provided, however, that if the Gross Asset Value of an asset differs from its adjusted basis for Federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such Fiscal Year, Depreciation shall be an amount that bears the same ratio to such beginning Gross Asset Value as the Federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction with respect to such asset for such Fiscal Year bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis; and, provided further, that if the Federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction for such Fiscal Year is zero, Depreciation shall be determined with reference to such beginning Gross Asset Value using any reasonable method selected by the Managing Members (by Special Member Approval).

(v)“Gross Asset Value” means, with respect to any asset, such asset’s adjusted basis for Federal income tax purposes, except as follows:

(a)the initial Gross Asset Value of any asset contributed by a Member to the Company shall be the gross fair market value of such asset at the time of such contribution, as determined by the Managing Members (by Special Member Approval);

(b)the Gross Asset Values of all Company assets may, in the sole discretion of the Managing Members (by Special Member Approval), be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values (as determined by the Managing Members (by Special Member Approval)), as of the following times: (i) the acquisition of an additional interest in the Company by any new or existing Member in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution or services; (ii) the distribution by the Company to a Member of more than a de minimis amount of Company property as consideration for an interest in the Company; and (iii) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(g);

(c)the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset distributed to any Member shall be adjusted immediately prior to such distribution to equal its gross fair market value of such asset as of the date of distribution (as determined by the Managing Members (by Special Member Approval)); and

(d)the Gross Asset Value of Company assets shall be increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted basis of such assets pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b), but only to the extent that such adjustments are taken into account in determining capital accounts pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m); provided, that Gross Asset Values shall not be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph (d) to the

​

​

extent the Managing Members (by Special Member Approval) determines in good faith that an adjustment pursuant to paragraph (b) above is necessary or appropriate in connection with a transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (d).

If the Gross Asset Value of an asset has been determined or adjusted pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (d) above, such Gross Asset Value shall thereafter be adjusted by the Depreciation taken into account with respect to such asset for purposes of computing Profits and Losses of the Company.

(vi)“Member Nonrecourse Deductions” shall mean losses, deductions or Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt under the general principles applicable to “partner nonrecourse deductions” set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2).

(vii)“Member Nonrecourse Debt” means any Company liability with respect to which one or more but not all of the Members or related Persons bear the economic risk of loss within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-2 as a guarantor, lender or otherwise.

(viii)“Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain” shall mean the minimum gain attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(3). In the case of Member Nonrecourse Debt for which the creditor’s recourse against the Company is not limited to particular assets of the Company, until such time as there is regulatory guidance on the determination of minimum gain with respect to such liabilities, all such liabilities of the Company shall be treated as a single liability and allocated to the Company’s assets using any reasonable basis selected by the Managing Members.

(ix)“Net Book Adjustment” shall mean with respect to a Member, the cumulative gains minus the cumulative losses allocated to such Member as a result of a required revaluation of the Company’s assets pursuant to Section (a)(v)(b) or (c) of Exhibit C or otherwise as a result of any revaluation of the Company’s assets pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f).

(x)“Nonrecourse Deductions” shall mean losses, deductions, or Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures attributable to Nonrecourse Liabilities (see Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1). The amount of Nonrecourse Deductions for a Fiscal Year shall be determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(c), and shall generally equal the net increase, if any, in the amount of Company Minimum Gain for that taxable year, determined generally according to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d), reduced (but not below zero) by the aggregate distributions during the year of proceeds of Nonrecourse Liabilities that are allocable to an increase in Company Minimum Gain, with such other modifications as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(c).

(xi)“Nonrecourse Liability” means any Company liability (or portion thereof) for which no Member bears the economic risk of loss under Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-2.

(xii)“Profits” and “Losses” mean, for each Fiscal Year or other period for which allocations to Members are made, an amount equal to the Company’s taxable income or

​

​

loss for such period determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss, or deduction required to be separately stated pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:

(a)any income of the Company that is exempt from U.S. Federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits and Losses shall be added to such taxable income or loss;

(b)any expenditures of the Company described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) or treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses shall be subtracted from such taxable income or loss;

(c)if the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to clause (b) or clause (c) of the definition of Gross Asset Value herein, the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset for purposes of computing Profits or Losses;

(d)income or loss of the Company determined by reference to the adjusted tax basis of a Company asset shall be instead calculated by reference to the Gross Asset Value of such asset

(e)gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Company asset with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for Federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Gross Asset Value of the asset disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such asset may differ from its Gross Asset Value;

(f)in lieu of the depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such taxable year or other period, computed in accordance with the definition of Depreciation herein;

(xiv)“Unreturned Net Book Adjustment” shall mean with respect to any Member, as of any date, (i) such Member’s Net Book Adjustment minus (ii) the aggregate amount of prior distributions made by the Company to such Member pursuant to Section 6.01(b) of the Agreement.

​

​

(b)Nonrecourse Deductions. All Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests held by such Member during such Fiscal Year.

(c)Member Nonrecourse Deductions. All Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any

Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss under Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-2 with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable.

(d)Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain for a Fiscal Year, each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of such net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2) and the definition of Company Minimum Gain set forth above. This provision is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(e)Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt for any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt as of the beginning of the Fiscal Year, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be allocated items of LLC income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1 .704-2(i)(4) and (5) and the definition of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain set forth above. This Paragraph is intended to comply with the member nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704- 2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

This provision is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith

(g)Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that exceeds such Member’s aggregate amounts described in clause (A) of the definition of Adjusted Capital Account, each such Member shall be allocated items of Company gross income and gain to the extent nary to eliminate such excess, as quickly as possible.
