Reply Procedures In connection with any Auction, each Lender holding the relevant Term Loans subject to such Auction may, in its sole discretion, participate in such Auction and may provide the Auction Agent with a notice of participation (the “Return Bid”) which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Auction Agent, and shall specify (i) a discount to par (that must be expressed as a price at which it is willing to sell all or any portion of such Term Loans) (the “Reply Price”), which (when expressed as a percentage of the par principal amount of such Term Loans) must be within the Discount Range and (ii) a principal amount of such Term Loans, which must be in whole increments of $1,000,000 (or, in any case, such lesser amount of such Term Loans of such Lender then outstanding or which is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Auction Agent) (the “Reply Amount”). Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction, but each Return Bid may contain up to three bids only one of which may result in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held in escrow by the Auction Agent, an Assignment and Assumption with the dollar amount of the Term Loans to be assigned to be left in blank, which amount shall be completed by the Auction Agent in accordance with the final determination of such Lender’s Qualifying Bid pursuant to clause (c) below. Any Lender whose Return Bid is not received by the Auction Agent by the Auction Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to participate in the relevant Auction with respect to all of its Term Loans.

Subscription Procedures The Dealer Manager will comply in all material respects with the subscription procedures and “Plan of Distribution” set forth in the Prospectus, and with respect to any direct sales made by the Dealer Manager, with the transmittal of funds procedures set forth in Section 6.
Underwriting Procedures If the Initiating Holders so elect, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration shall be in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering shall be the Approved Underwriter (as hereinafter defined) selected in accordance with Section 3(f). In connection with any Demand Registration under this Section 3 involving an underwriting, none of the Registrable Securities held by any of the Insurance Partners Stockholders (other than the Initiating Holders) or shares of Common Stock held by any Other Rightholders making a request for inclusion thereof pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be included in such underwriting unless such Insurance Partners Stockholders or Other Rightholders, as the case may be, accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon by the Company, the Initiating Holders and the Approved Underwriter, and then only in such quantity as will not, in the opinion of the Approved Underwriter, jeopardize the success of such offering. If the Approved Underwriter advises the Company in writing that in its opinion the aggregate amount of Common Stock requested to be included in such offering is sufficiently large to have a material adverse effect on the success of such offering, then the Company shall include in such registration only the aggregate amount of Common Stock that in the opinion of the Approved Underwriter may be sold without any such material adverse effect and shall reduce, as to the Initiating Holders, the Insurance Partners Stockholders (other than the Initiating Holders) and the Other Rightholders as a group, the amount of Common Stock to be included in such registration, pro rata within such group based on the number of Registrable Securities and other shares of Common Stock included in the request for registration pursuant to Section 3(a).
