A copy of the Joint Filing Agreement among the Reporting Persons is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
 
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
In accordance with the terms of the Funding Agreement (the “Funding Agreement”), dated as of January 18, 2008, by and among PubliCARD, The 500 Group, Sarachek, Fisch, IA Capital, Ridge View and Folio Holdings, each of Sarachek, Fisch, IA Capital, Ridge View and Folio Holdings (together, the “Funding Parties”) contributed $100,000 to The 500 Group to fund its $500,000 investment in PubliCARD. In accordance with the Funding Agreement, on January 31, 2008, The 500 Group distributed all 4,620,000 shares of Common Stock that it purchased under the Plan of Reorganization pro rata (924,000 shares each) to its members, consisting of the Funding Parties. As a result of this distribution by The 500 Group, it no longer has beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock.
 
The source of funds used to invest in The 500 Group (which amounts were used to purchase the 4,620,000 shares of Common Stock that were distributed to the Funding Parties) consisted of working capital of IA Capital, Folio Holdings and Ridge View and personal funds of Sarachek and Fisch. In addition, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, Sarachek will receive approximately 41 shares of Common Stock on account of 4,000 shares of PubliCARD Common Stock that he held in brokerage accounts immediately prior to the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization. The number of shares to be issued to Sarachek on account of such shares of PubliCARD Common Stock is an estimate. The actual number will be determined in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization once the Issuer's transfer agent determines the number of shares to be issued under the Plan of Reorganization in respect of individual positions held by the public in street name.
 
12

 
The Funding Parties and the Issuer are parties to a Stockholders Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement, both dated as of January 31, 2008. Under the Stockholders Agreement, during the eighteen-month period which commenced on January 31,2008, (i) the Funding Parties agreed to vote their shares of Common Stock (a) for each Funding Party’s designee to the Board of Directors of the Issuer and (b) in favor of an equity incentive plan to be proposed by the Issuer’s management providing for the issuance of up to 10% (as of the date the effectiveness of such plan) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (ii) each Funding Party agreed to provide a right of first refusal on the sale of shares of Common Stock under specified circumstances to the Issuer first, and then to the other Funding Parties, to the extent the Issuer has not exercised its right in full. Under the Stockholders Agreement, during such term, each Funding Party's right to designate a director will continue so long as such Funding Party continues to hold at least 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock distributed to it under the Funding Agreement by The 500 Group (as adjusted for stock splits and dividends). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, during the three-year period which commenced on January 31, 2008, the Funding Parties have the right to include their shares of Common Stock in Issuer registration statements filed under the Securities Act, except in certain limited circumstances specified in the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
The foregoing description of the Funding Agreement, Stockholders Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits B, C and D, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and incorporated by reference herein
 
In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, upon its effectiveness, the members of PubliCARD’s Board of Directors, other than Sarachek, were replaced with the Issuer’s Board of Directors, which, consistent with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, consists of Sarachek, Fisch, Ehrenberg, Marcus and Lewis (the initial designees of the Funding Parties).
 
The information set forth in Items 1, 4 and 5 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein.
 
Item 4.

Each of the Reporting Persons acquired the securities of the Issuer for investment purposes, except as otherwise stated herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review from time to time their investment in the Issuer and depending on such review may consider various alternative courses of action. In addition, depending on prevailing conditions from time to time, including, without limitation, price and availability of shares, future evaluations by the Reporting Persons of the business and prospects of the Issuer, regulatory requirements, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons and general stock market and economic conditions, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with the Issuer concerning future acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Issuer or further investments by them in the Issuer and determine to increase their investment or sell all or part of their investment in the Issuer through open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions (with the Issuer or third parties), a tender or exchange offer or otherwise.
 
On January 30, 2008, Sarachek, Ehrenberg, Lewis, Marcus and Fisch, as designees of the Funding Parties, were appointed as directors of the Issuer in accordance with the Stockholders Agreement (further described in Item 3 above).

Sarachek (collectively, the “Investors”).
 
RECITALS

(as successor to the Debtor upon its emergence from bankruptcy, the “Company”) in connection with the implementation of the Debtor’s Plan of Reorganization, as amended (the “Plan”);
 
WHEREAS, the Investors desire to fund the 500 Group’s acquisition of Shares under the Contribution Agreement through the investment of an aggregate of $500,000 in exchange for membership interests in the 500 Group and to provide for the distribution of the Shares to the Investors following the 500 Group’s receipt of such Shares pursuant to the Plan in proportion to 500 Group membership interests purchased hereunder;
 
WHEREAS, in connection with the receipt of their portion of the Shares, the Investors and the Company desire to enter into a stockholders agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Stockholders Agreement”), and a registration rights agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
SECTION 1.   INVESTMENT

18

 
1.2  Issuance and Distribution of Shares of New Common Stock. Under the terms of the Plan and upon its effectiveness, the Company shall deliver to the 500 Group a certificate representing the Shares purchased under the Contribution Agreement pursuant to the Plan.

Such Investor understands that any certificates representing the Shares will bear a restrictive legend to this effect as set forth below.
 
(g)  No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the Stockholders Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not, with notice or passage of time or both (i) conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, (ii) constitute a default under or result in a violation of, (iii) result in the creation of any lien upon its portion of the Shares or assets, properties or rights of such Investor pursuant to, (iv) give any person the right to modify, terminate or accelerate any liability of, or charge any fee, penalty or similar payment to such Investor under, or (v) require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or declaration or notice to any person pursuant to any law, contract or agreement to which such Investor is a party, by which such Investor is bound or to which any of such Investor’s assets are subject.

STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT
 
STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of January 31, 2008, by and among Charlie Fisch (“Fisch”), Folio Holdings, LLC (“Folio Holdings”), IA Capital Partners, LLC (“IA Capital”), Ridge View Group, LLC (“Ridge View”), and Joseph E. Sarachek (“Sarachek”) (collectively, the “Stockholders,” and individually a “Stockholder”) and Chazak Value Corp. (the “Company,” and together with the Stockholders, the “Parties” and individually, a “Party”).
 
WHEREAS, each of the Stockholders invested in The 500 Group, LLC (the “500 Group”) for the purpose of providing the funds necessary to purchase 4,620,000 (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), in connection with the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, as amended (the “Plan”), of PubliCARD, Inc. (the “Debtor”);
 
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, entered into as of October 26, 2007, by and between the 500 Group and the Debtor, the 500 Group agreed to contribute $500,000 to the Debtor on the effective date of the Plan in exchange for the Shares and the releases and related provisions set forth in the Plan, which contribution was made and which Shares were issued on the date hereof;
 
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Funding Agreement, dated as of January 18, 2008, by and among the 500 Group, the Debtor and each of the Stockholders, (i) upon its receipt of the Shares, the 500 Group agreed to distribute such Shares to the Stockholders in proportion to their investment in the 500 Group under the Funding Agreement (the “Distribution”) and (ii) the Parties agreed to enter into this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Registration Rights Agreement”); and
 
WHEREAS, the Stockholders desire to set forth their agreement with regard to certain matters affecting the Company.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1.  Board Nomination. At each election of or action by written consent to elect directors of the Company during the 18-month period commencing on the date of this Agreement (the “Term”), the Stockholders shall vote all of their respective shares of Common Stock so as to elect an individual designated by each of Fisch, Folio Holdings, IA Capital, Ridge View and Sarachek, which initial designees shall be as specified on Schedule A hereto. Each Stockholder shall retain the director designation right provided for herein during the Term so long as such Stockholder (together with its affiliates) continues to hold at least 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock distributed to it pursuant to the Distribution (as adjusted for stock splits, dividends and the like). Any vote taken to remove any director elected pursuant to this Section 1, or to fill any vacancy created by the resignation, removal or death of a director elected pursuant to this Section 1, shall also be subject to the provisions of this Section 1. With respect to the removal of designated directors, upon the request of any Party entitled to designate a director as provided in this Section 1, each Stockholder agrees to vote its shares of Common Stock for the removal of such director. Each Stockholder also agrees to vote all of its shares of Common Stock or execute written proxies or consents with respect to such shares in favor of an equity incentive plan to be proposed by the Company’s management providing for the issuance of up to 10% (as of the date the effectiveness of such plan) of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.  
26

2.  Right of First Refusal.
 
(a)  Right of First Refusal on Sales of Stock. Except with respect to any sales of Common Stock pursuant to a registered public offering or sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or as otherwise permitted by Section 6 hereof, each Stockholder hereby agrees that during the Term, he, she or it shall not sell or otherwise transfer any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (“Securities”), except in accordance with the following procedures:
 
(i)  Upon receipt of a bona fide offer to purchase all or any portion of the Securities of a Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder”) that is subject to this Section 2 (the “Offer to Purchase”), the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Company and to each other Stockholder (each, a “Non-Selling Stockholder”) a notice (an “Offering Notice”) stating (A) such Selling Stockholder’s bona fide intention to sell such Securities and offering to sell such Securities to the Company, and then to the Non-Selling Stockholders if the Company does not accept the offer to purchase all of such Securities, (B) the amount of Securities to which the Offer to Purchase applies, (C) the price, terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase and (D) the name of the party or parties making the Offer to Purchase (the “Potential Purchaser(s)”).
 
(ii)  During the 20-day period following delivery to the Company of the Offering Notice (the “Company Offer Period”), the Company may elect by written notice to the Selling Stockholder to accept the Selling Stockholder’s offer to sell all or a portion of the Securities covered by the Offering Notice on the same terms and conditions specified therein. If, by the end of the Company Offer Period, the Company does not elect to purchase all Securities covered by the Offering Notice, the Company shall so notify in writing the Non-Selling Stockholders, which notice shall set forth the amount of the Selling Stockholder’s Securities that remains available for sale to the Non-Selling Stockholders under the Offering Notice (the “Available Securities”). During the 20-day period following delivery of such notice by the Company (the “Non-Selling Stockholder Offer Period”), the Non-Selling Stockholders may elect by written notice to the Selling Stockholder to accept the Selling Stockholder’s offer to sell the Available Securities on the same terms and conditions specified in the Offering Notice.
 
(iii)  Each Non-Selling Stockholder may elect to purchase its pro rata share of the Available Securities, based on the ratio that (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock each Non-Selling Stockholder holds bears to (B) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock held by all Non-Selling Stockholders, and may also offer, in its written notice to the Selling Stockholder, to purchase any of the Available Securities not purchased by other Non-Selling Stockholders, in which case such Securities not accepted by the other Non-Selling Stockholders shall be deemed to have been offered to and accepted by the Non-Selling Stockholders that exercised their option under this paragraph (iii), pro rata, on the above-described terms and conditions.
27

 
(iv)  If any Securities included in the Offering Notice have not been timely accepted for purchase by the Company and the Non-Selling Stockholders, then the Selling Stockholder may sell to the Potential Purchaser(s) all or any part of the remaining Available Securities at a price not less than the price, and on terms and conditions not more favorable to the Potential Purchaser(s) than the terms stated in the original Offering Notice, at any time within 60 days after the expiration of the Non-Selling Stockholder Offer Period. In the event the remaining Securities are not sold by the Selling Stockholder during such 60-day period, the right of the Selling Stockholder to sell such remaining Securities shall expire and the obligations of this Section 2 shall be reinstated.
 
(v)  A single closing for the sales of Securities to the Company and/or the Non-Selling Stockholders under the terms of this Section 2 shall be made at the offices of the Company (or at such other location specified by the Company) on a mutually satisfactory business day within 14 days of the expiration of the latest of the aforesaid periods or if no mutually satisfactory date is agreed upon, then on the last business day within such 14-day period. Delivery of certificates or other instruments evidencing such Securities duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or applicable Non-Selling Stockholders (as the case may be) shall be made on such date against payment of the purchase price therefor.
 
(vi)  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any purchaser of Securities pursuant to this Section 2 who is not a Stockholder shall agree in writing in advance with the parties hereto to be bound by and comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement and shall be deemed to become a Stockholder for all purposes of this Agreement. All sales of Securities in accordance with this Section shall be in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws, as confirmed in each case by an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company.
 
3.  Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only in writing executed by each of the Parties, and any provisions herein may be waived only in writing executed by the Party or Parties against whom such waiver is asserted; provided, that, no such waiver shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant.
 
4.  Governing Law And Venue; Waiver Of Jury Trial.  This Agreement shall be deemed to be made in and in all respects shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the law of the state of Delaware without regard to the conflict of law principles. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit exclusively to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in New York City in connection with all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a New York State or Federal court. The parties hereto hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties for purposes of the foregoing.
28

 
(a)  Each Party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party certifies and acknowledges that (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (ii) each Party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (iii) each Party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (iv) each Party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers in this paragraph 4.
 
5.  Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any person or in any set of circumstances shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
 
6.  Assignment. Except as provided herein, none of the Parties may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement will be void ab initio. In addition to sales of Common Stock in accordance with Section 2 hereof or pursuant to a registered public offering or sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, a Stockholder may sell or transfer Company securities to its affiliates, in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws, as confirmed in each case by an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, provided that such transferee shall, as a condition to the effectiveness of such transfer, execute a counterpart to this Agreement assuming all of the obligations of the transferring Stockholder with respect to such securities and agreeing to be treated as if an original party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions herein, no such assignment will relieve such Stockholder of its obligations hereunder.
 
7.  Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the Party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications to the Stockholders shall be sent to the address as set forth on the signature pages hereof and communications to the Company, at its corporate offices, or at such other address as any such Party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other Parties hereto.
29

8.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

(d)  “Register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement or document.
 
(e)  “Registrable Securities” means (a) Common Stock of the Company transferred to the initial Holders pursuant to the Distribution under the Funding Agreement in the amounts set forth on Exhibit A (the “Shares”) and (b) any Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, such above-described securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Registrable Securities shall not include any securities (i) sold by a person to the public either pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 or (ii) sold in a private transaction in accordance with Section 2 or Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement in which the transferor’s rights under Section 2 of this Agreement are not assigned.
 
(f)  “Registrable Securities then outstanding” shall be the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that are Registrable Securities and are then issued and outstanding.

SECTION 2.   REGISTRATION
 
2.1  Piggyback Registrations.
 
(a)  The Company shall notify all Holders in writing at least ten (10) 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 ten (10) 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 subject to the conditions set forth herein.
 
(b)  If the registration statement of which the Company gives notice under this Section 2.1 is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders. In such event, the right of any such Holder to include Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 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 the Holders electing to include their shares in such registration; and third, to any stockholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares of Common Stock then held. 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 held by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence.
37

 
(c)  The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.1 whether or not any Holder has elected to include shares in such registration, and shall promptly notify any Holder that has elected to include shares in such registration of such termination or withdrawal.
 
2.2  Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 2.1 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, as applicable.
 
2.3  Obligations of the Company. In connection with the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall:
 
(a)  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.
 
(b)  Use its 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.
 
(c)  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 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.
 
2.4  No Right to Delay 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 Section 2.
 
(b)  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 2.1 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 reasonably required by the Company in connection with the registration of their Registrable Securities.
38

2.5  Indemnification. In the event any Holder’s Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Section 2.1:
 
(a)  To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each such Holder, the partners, members, officers and directors of each such 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 or in any issuer free writing prospectus, (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 2.5(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 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: (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 or in any issuer free writing prospectus, (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 (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 expressly 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 2.5(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 2.5(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
39

 
(c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.5 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 2.5, 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 thereof 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 2.5 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 2.5.
 
(d)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.5 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.
40

 
(e)  The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.5 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 2.5 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.
 
2.6  “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included in the registration) during the 180-day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act; provided, that all officers and directors of the Company are bound by and have entered into similar agreements. The obligations described in this Section 2.6 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future.
 
2.7  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 of an offering including Registrable Securities that are consistent with the Holder’s obligations under Section 2.6 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 2.6 and this Section 2.7 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 said day period. Each Holder agrees that any permitted transferee of any shares of Registrable Securities, other than shares sold to the public through a registration or pursuant to Rule 144 shall be bound by Sections 2.6 and 2.7. The underwriters of the Company’s stock are intended third party beneficiaries of Sections 2.6 and 2.7 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.
 
2.8  Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall terminate upon the earlier of: (i) the date three (3) years after the date of this Agreement; or (ii) such time as such Holder holds less than 1% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and all Registrable Securities of the Company held by and issuable to such Holder (and its affiliates) may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 during any ninety (90) day period. Upon such termination, such shares shall cease to be “Registrable Securities” hereunder for all purposes.
41

SECTION 3.   MISCELLANEOUS.
 
3.1  Governing Law. 
 
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware in all respects as such laws are applied to agreements among Delaware residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware, without reference to conflicts of laws or principles thereof. The parties agree that any action brought by any party under or in relation to this Agreement, including without limitation to interpret or enforce any provision of this Agreement, shall be brought in, and each party agrees to and does hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue of, any state or federal court located in the City of New York, New York.
 
(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party certifies and acknowledges that (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (ii) each party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (iii) each party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (iv) each party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers in this paragraph 3.1(b).
 
3.2  Successors and Assigns. Except as provided herein, none of the Stockholders may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement will be void ab initio. A Stockholder may assign the registration rights hereunder corresponding to Registrable Securities in connection with (a) the sale or transfer of Registrable Securities to its affiliates, in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws, as confirmed in each case by an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company or (b) a sale of Registrable Securities in accordance with Section 2 of the Stockholders Agreement, provided that such transferee shall, as a condition to the effectiveness of such transfer, execute a counterpart to this Agreement assuming all of the obligations of the transferring Stockholder with respect to such securities and agreeing to be treated as if an original party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions herein, no such assignment will relieve such Stockholder of its obligations hereunder.
 
3.3  Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Exhibit, the Stockholders Agreement and the other documents delivered pursuant thereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and no party shall be liable or bound to any other in any manner by any oral or written representations, warranties, covenants and agreements except as specifically set forth herein and therein. Each party expressly represents and warrants that it is not relying on any oral or written representations, warranties, covenants or agreements outside of this Agreement.
42

 
3.4  Severability. In the event one or more of the provisions of this Agreement should, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
 
3.5  Amendment and Waiver.
 
(a)  Except as otherwise expressly provided, this Agreement may be amended or modified, and the obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders under this Agreement may be waived, only upon the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding.
 
(b)  For the purposes of determining the number of Holders entitled to vote or exercise any rights hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to rely solely on the list of record holders of its stock as maintained by or on behalf of the Company.
 
3.6  Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power, or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on any party’s part of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
 
3.7  Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications to the Stockholders shall be sent to the address as set forth on the signature pages hereof and communications to the Company, at its corporate offices, or at such other address as any such party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.
 
3.8  Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any suit or action is instituted under or in relation to this Agreement, including without limitation to enforce any provision in this Agreement, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all fees, costs and expenses of enforcing any right of such prevailing party under or with respect to this Agreement, including without limitation, such reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants, which shall include, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses of appeals.
43

 
3.9  Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.
 
3.10  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
