When issued and sold against receipt of the consideration therefor as provided in this Agreement or the Series A Certificate, such securities will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, will not subject the holders thereof to personal liability, will not be subject to preemptive rights of any other stockholder of the Company, and will effectively vest in the Purchaser good and marketable title to all such securities, free and clear of all Liens, except restrictions imposed by the Securities Act, Section 4.2 and any applicable state or foreign securities laws. Upon any conversion of any shares of Purchased Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to the Series A Certificate, the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, will not subject the holder thereof to personal liability and will not be subject to preemptive rights of any other stockholder of the Company, and will effectively vest in the Purchaser good and marketable title to all such securities, free and clear of all Liens, except restrictions imposed by the Securities Act, Section 4.2 and any applicable state or foreign securities laws.

Each of the SEC Documents, as of its respective date complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such SEC Documents, and, except to the extent that information contained in any SEC Document has been revised or superseded by a later filed SEC Document filed and publicly available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system prior to the date of this Agreement, none of the SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date hereof, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments received from the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Documents.

As of the date of this Agreement, to the knowledge of the Company, there is no reason that its chief executive officer and chief financial officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, without qualification, when next due.
8
(3) There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other off-balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its SEC Documents and is not so disclosed.

(h) Brokers and Finders. Except for Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC, the fees and expenses of which will be paid by the Company, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any financial advisory fees, brokerage fees, commissions or finder’s fees, and no broker or finder has acted directly or indirectly for the Company in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(i) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against, nor any outstanding judgment, order or decree against, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before or by any Governmental Entity which in the aggregate have, or if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(j) Compliance with Laws. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any applicable Law, except where such violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries possess all licenses, franchises, permits, certificates, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities required by Law necessary for the Company to conduct its business as currently conducted by the Company and its Subsidiaries, except where the failure to possess such documents would not, individually or in the aggregate,
9
reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect; and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of any proceeding relating to the revocation or modification of, or non-compliance with, any material certificate, authorization, permit, clearance or approval. To the knowledge of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is being investigated with respect to any applicable Law, except for such of the foregoing as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(k) Absence of Changes. Since March 26, 2016, there has not been (i) a Company Material Adverse Effect, (ii) any material loss or interference with the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, (iii) any material transaction entered into by the Company or its Subsidiaries other than in the ordinary course of business, (iv) any action taken by the by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up, nor does the Company have any knowledge that any of the creditors of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, nor has the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company received any notice from any such creditor threatening any such action or (v) any action or omission of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that, if such action or omission occurred between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, would violate Section 3.7 and none of the Company or its Subsidiaries has agreed or committed to take any of the foregoing actions.
(l) Listing and Maintenance Requirements.

Section 4. Dividends. (a) From and after the Issue Date, Holders shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends of the type and in the amount determined as set forth in this Section 4, and no more.
(b) Accruing Dividends. Commencing on the Issue Date and terminating on the Dividend Rate Termination Date, dividends shall accrue and shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on December 29 and June 29 of each year (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”) or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day, for each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock as follows:
Exhibit A-6
(i) Dividends at an annual rate equal to the Dividend Rate multiplied by the Liquidation Preference, payable in additional Liquidation Preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock (each such dividend, an “Accruing Dividend”).
(ii) Accruing Dividends payable pursuant to this Section 4(b) will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and, for any Dividend Period greater or less than a full Dividend Period, will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period divided by 180. The period from the Issue Date to and including December 29, 2016 and each period from but excluding a Dividend Payment Date to and including the following Dividend Payment Date is herein referred to as a “Dividend Period”. Accruing Dividends payable pursuant to this Section 4(b) are cumulative. Such dividends shall (i) begin to accrue and be cumulative from the Issue Date, (ii) compound annually (i.e., by increasing the Liquidation Preference of each share of Series A Preferred Stock annually in an amount equal to the sum of the Accruing Dividends payable per share of Series A Preferred Stock) and (iii) be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing with the first such Dividend Payment Date, in each case, whether or not declared by the Board of Directors.
(iii) If a Conversion Date with respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock is prior to the Record Date for any dividend, the Holder of such shares will not be entitled to any such dividend, subject to any accrued but unpaid dividends being taken into account in Section 7. If a Conversion Date with respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock is after the Record Date for any dividend but before the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, the Holder of such share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to receive such dividend, notwithstanding the conversion of such shares prior to the Dividend Payment Date. Dividends shall cease to accrue in respect of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock on the date of their redemption unless the Company shall have failed to pay the relevant redemption price on the date fixed for redemption.
(c) Participating Dividends. If the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, declares and pays a cash dividend in respect of Common Stock or any other dividend or distribution in respect of Common Stock for which no adjustment in the Conversion Price is required to be made pursuant to Section 11, then the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, shall declare and pay to the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, on the same dates on which such cash dividend (or other dividend or distribution) is declared or paid, as applicable, on the Common Stock, a dividend or distribution in the same form and in an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the product of (i) the per share dividend or distribution declared and paid in respect of each share of Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that (x) until such dividend or distribution (and each other dividend or distribution declared or (to the extent the applicable Dividend Payment Date has occurred) accrued on the Series A Preferred Stock, including under Section 4(b)) has been paid in full in respect of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may not make any payment of such dividend or distribution with respect to any class or series of capital stock that ranks junior to the Series A
Exhibit A-7
Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and (y) to the extent that the Company declares a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock and any class or series of capital stock that ranks on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights but does not have sufficient legally available funds to make the full payment of such declared dividends, the Company shall allocate the dividend payments on a pro rata basis among the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of any class or series of capital stock that ranks on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights. No cash dividend (or any other dividend or distribution for which no adjustment to the Conversion Price is required to be made pursuant to Section 11) may be declared or paid unless the Board of Directors and the Company comply with this Section 4(c).
(d) Each dividend will be payable to Holders of record as they appear in the records of the Company on the applicable Record Date, which with respect to dividends payable pursuant to Section 4(b), shall be on the fifteenth day of the month in which the relevant Dividend Payment Date occurs and with respect to dividends payable pursuant to Section 4(c) shall be the record date in respect of such dividend or distribution.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Liquidation Preference” as used in this Section 4 shall not be deemed to include Accruing Dividends that have accrued subsequent to the immediately preceding Dividend Payment Date, but have not yet been added to the Liquidation Preference of a share of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(b).
Section 5. Liquidation. (a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company or proceeds thereof legally available for distribution to stockholders of the Company, after satisfaction of all liabilities, if any, to creditors of the Company and subject to Section 5(b) and to the rights of holders of any shares of capital stock of the Company then outstanding ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, and before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of Common Stock and any other classes or series of capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to such distribution, a liquidating distribution in an amount equal to (i) the Liquidation Preference per share plus (ii) Accrued and Unpaid Dividends, if any, prior to the date of payment of such distribution. After payment of the full amount of such liquidation distribution, the Holders shall not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Company.
(b) In the event the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on any Parity Securities, Holders and the holders of such Parity Securities shall share ratably in any distribution of assets of the Company in proportion to the full respective liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
Exhibit A-8
(c) The Company’s consolidation or merger with or into any other entity, the consolidation or merger of any other entity with or into the Company, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or business or other assets will not constitute its liquidation, dissolution or winding up, but instead shall be subject to Section 12.
Section 6. Maturity. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be perpetual unless converted or redeemed in accordance with this Certificate of Designations.
Section 7. Conversion. (a) Optional Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder thereof, at any time, and from time to time, including any time prior to a Mandatory Redemption, into the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the Liquidation Preference plus Accrued and Unpaid Dividends divided by (2) the Conversion Price. In order to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 7(a), the Holder must surrender the certificates (or if such Holder has so elected to hold its Series A Preferred Stock in uncertificated book-entry shares with the Company’s transfer agent, then such uncertificated book-entry shares) representing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or, if such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and indemnity in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company), accompanied by transfer instruments reasonably satisfactory to the Company, at the principal office of the Company (or such other place mutually acceptable to the Holder and the Company), together with written notice that such Holder elects to convert all or such number of shares represented by such certificates as specified therein. With respect to a conversion pursuant to this Section 7(a), the date of receipt of such certificates, together with such notice, by the Company or (in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) its authorized agent will be the date of conversion (an “Optional Conversion Date”). In the event that (i) a Holder transfers shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) the Holder subsequently receives written notice from the Company that such transfer was not permitted by and in accordance with the Investment Agreement (a “Non-Compliant Transfer”), the shares so transferred shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such transfer (in which case the date of such transfer shall be deemed to be the Conversion Date) if such shares are not transferred back to such Holder within 30 days of receiving the Company’s notice of Non-Compliant Transfer; provided that if at such time Holder is contesting in good faith the Company’s conclusion that such transfer was a Non-Compliant Transfer, no such conversion shall occur until such dispute has been resolved.
(b) Mandatory Conversion. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7(b), the Company shall have the right at any time to cause each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock to mandatorily convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock by delivering to the Holder written notice (a “Mandatory Conversion Notice”) electing to exercise its rights under this Section 7(b) and specifying (A) the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date (which in the case of a Mandatory Conversion Notice delivered between the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date and prior to the Dividend Rate Termination Date, shall be no earlier than the date such Mandatory Conversion Notice is delivered to such Holder, and, in the case of a Mandatory Conversion Notice delivered on or after the Dividend Rate Termination Date, shall be no earlier
Exhibit A-9
than 60 days following the date such Mandatory Conversion Notice is delivered to such Holder), (B) that the conversion will occur on such Mandatory Conversion Date and (C) with respect to such Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock will convert. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not deliver a Mandatory Conversion Notice until after the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date. Between the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date and prior to the Dividend Rate Termination Date, the Company may only deliver a Mandatory Conversion Notice if, during such period, the Closing Price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 150% of the prevailing Conversion Price for at least 20 Trading Days within a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days, including the last Trading Day of such 30-day period. In the event the Company has the right to deliver a Mandatory Conversion Notice after the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date and prior to the Dividend Rate Termination Date, such notice may be delivered at any time commencing the first Business Day following the final Trading Day of such 30 consecutive Trading Day period. If the Company elects to cause less than all the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, the Company shall select the Series A Preferred Stock to be converted from each Holder on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company selects a portion of a Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock for partial conversion at the option of the Company and such Holder converts an additional portion of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock, both converted portions will be deemed to be from the portion selected for conversion at the option of the Company under this Section 7 and the pro rata allocations of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted from each other Holder shall be reduced accordingly. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock converted pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be converted into the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the Liquidation Preference plus Accrued and Unpaid Dividends divided by (2) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such conversion.
Section 8. Conversion Procedures. (a) On a Conversion Date, with respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock, certificates (or if (x) the Holder shall so elect, (y) permitted by applicable law, including the Securities Act of 1933, and (z) the Company or its transfer agent already provides, for one or more other Holders, for uncertificated book-entry shares of Common Stock, then such uncertificated book-entry shares) representing the number of shares of Common Stock into which the applicable shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted shall be promptly issued and delivered to the Holder thereof or such Holder’s designee upon presentation and surrender of the certificate evidencing the Series A Preferred Stock (or, if such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and indemnity in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company) to the Company and, if required, the furnishing of appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the payment of all transfer and similar taxes, if any, allocable to the Holder pursuant to Section 18(b).
(b) From and after a Conversion Date, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted on such Conversion Date, will cease to be entitled to any dividends that may thereafter be declared on the Series A Preferred Stock; such shares of Series A Preferred Stock will no longer be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose; and all rights (except the right to receive from the Company the Common Stock upon conversion thereof and any dividends previously declared or otherwise accrued on the Series A Preferred Stock but not paid) of the
Exhibit A-10
Holder of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted shall cease and terminate with respect to such shares. Prior to the Conversion Date, except as otherwise provided herein, Holders shall have no rights as owners of the Common Stock (or other relevant capital stock or equity interest into which the Series A Preferred Stock may then be convertible in accordance herewith) (including voting powers, and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion) by virtue of holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
(c) Shares of Series A Preferred Stock duly converted in accordance with this Certificate of Designations, or otherwise reacquired by the Company, will resume the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, undesignated as to series, and will be available for future issuance, but shall not be reissued as shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock but not below the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.
(d) The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock and/or cash issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock and/or securities as of the Close of Business on a Conversion Date with respect thereto. In the event that a Holder shall not by written notice designate the name in which shares of Common Stock and/or cash to be issued or paid upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock should be registered or paid or the manner in which such shares should be delivered, the Company shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares, and make such payment, in the name of the Holder and in the manner shown on the records of the Company.
(e) In the event that fewer than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by any Holder are converted pursuant to Section 7(a), then a new certificate (or book-entry shares) representing the unconverted shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be issued to such Holder concurrently with the issuance of the certificates (or book-entry shares) representing the applicable Common Stock.
Section 9. Redemption.
(a) Optional Redemption. At any time after the Dividend Rate Termination Date, each Holder shall have the right to cause the Company to redeem (an “Optional Redemption”), at the Redemption Price, all of its outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. Notice of such redemption (an “Optional Redemption Notice”) shall be sent by or on behalf of the demanding Holder to the Company at least 60 days prior to the date on which the Holder requests redemption of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock by the Company (an “Optional Redemption Date).
(b) Mandatory Redemption. At any time after the Dividend Rate Termination Date, the Company shall have the right pursuant to this Section 9(b) to redeem (a “Mandatory Redemption”), at the Redemption Price, all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. Notice of such redemption (a “Mandatory Redemption Notice”) shall be sent by or on behalf of
Exhibit A-11
the Company at least 60 days prior to the date on which the Company elects to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock (a “Mandatory Redemption Date” and, together with any Optional Redemption Date and the date of any redemption in connection with a Change of Control Election, each a “Redemption Date”), by first class mail, postage prepaid, to all holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock at their respective last addresses as they shall appear on the books of the Company’s transfer agent.
Section 10. Redemption Procedures.
(a) Form of Notice of Redemption. In addition to any information required by law, the Mandatory Redemption Notice required to be delivered to Holders pursuant to Section 9(b) shall specify (i) the relevant Redemption Date; (ii) the Redemption Price; (iii) the place or places in the United States where certificates for such shares (or uncertificated book-entry shares) are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; (iv) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date; (v) the Conversion Price; (vi) that Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption may be converted at any time before the Close of Business on the Mandatory Redemption Date; and (vii) that Holders of Series A Preferred Stock must satisfy the requirements of Section 7(a) and Section 8 above if such Holders desire to convert such shares.
(b) On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit the Redemption Price for all shares of Series A Preferred Stock not yet redeemed or converted with a bank or trust corporation as a trust fund for the benefit of the respective Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust corporation to publish the notice of redemption thereof and pay the Redemption Price for such shares to their respective Holders on or after such Redemption Date, upon receipt of notification from the Company that such Holder has surrendered its share certificate (or uncertificated shares held in book-entry) to the Company as specified in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 10(a).
(c) If notice has been mailed in accordance with Section 10(a) and provided that, on or before any Redemption Date, all funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Company, separate and apart from its other funds in trust for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, so as to be, and to continue to be available therefor, then, from and after the applicable Redemption Date, dividends on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue, and said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and shall not have the status of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and all rights of the Holders thereof as shareholders of the Company (except the right to receive from the Company the Redemption Price) shall cease. Upon surrender, in accordance with said notice, of the certificates for any shares (or any uncertificated shares in book-entry form) so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Company shall so require and the notice shall so state), such shares shall be redeemed by the Company at the Redemption Price.
(d) Any funds deposited with a bank or trust Company for the purpose of redeeming Series A Preferred Stock shall be irrevocable except that:
Exhibit A-12
(i) the Company shall be entitled to receive from such bank or trust Company the interest or other earnings, if any, earned on any money so deposited in trust, and the Holders of any shares redeemed shall have no claim to such interest or other earnings; and
(ii) any balance of monies so deposited by the Company and unclaimed by the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock entitled thereto at the expiration of one year from the applicable Redemption Date shall be repaid, together with any interest or other earnings earned thereon, to the Company, and after any such repayment, the Holders of the shares entitled to the funds so repaid to the Company shall look only to the Company for payment without interest or other earnings.
(e) No Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed except with funds legally available for the payment of the Redemption Price, including a redemption upon a Change of Control Election, as applicable. If, upon the applicable Redemption Date, the assets of the Company legally available to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (i) the Company shall redeem that number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that may be redeemed with the assets of the Company legally available to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock (pro rata among the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock based on the relative number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holders) and (ii) any unredeemed shares shall be carried forward and shall be redeemed at such time as funds are legally available to so redeem such shares. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are subject to redemption hereunder but which have not been redeemed due to insufficient legally available funds and assets shall continue to be outstanding and entitled to all dividends, liquidation, conversion and other rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock until such shares are converted or redeemed or until the Dividend Rate Termination Date.
(f) All shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to Section 9 shall be retired and shall be restored to the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series and may thereafter be reissued as shares of any series of Preferred Stock.
(g) Except as specifically provided in Section 9 and Section 12, the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.
Section 11. Anti-Dilution Adjustments. (a) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time (successively and for each event described) in accordance with this Section 11.
(b) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall (1) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of the Common Stock, (2) subdivide the then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or (3) combine the then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend
Exhibit A-13
or distribution, or immediately preceding the effective time and date of such subdivision or combination shall be adjusted, effective at such time, so that the Holder of each share of the Series A Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number and kind of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following such action had such shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to such time.
If any dividend or distribution that is the subject of this Section 11(b) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, publicly announces its decision not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in treasury, if any.
(c) In the case that a Tender Offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such Tender Offer (as amended through the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to holders of the Common Stock (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of Purchased Shares) of aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) per share of Common Stock that exceeds the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the last date on which tenders may be made pursuant to such Tender Offer (as amended through the expiration thereof) (the “Expiration Date”) or, if such date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the Expiration Date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying the Conversion Price as of immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Expiration Date by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the product of (x) the Market Value on the Expiration Date and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Date, and (B) the denominator of which shall be equal to (x) the product of (I) the Market Value on the Expiration Date and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Date less the number of all shares validly tendered, not withdrawn and accepted for payment on the Expiration Date (such validly tendered shares, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) plus (y) the amount of cash plus the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Tender Offer (assuming the acceptance, up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer, of Purchased Shares).
(d) If the Company takes any action affecting the Common Stock, other than an action described in Section 11(b) and Section 11(c), which upon a determination by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, is intended to be a “fact” for purposes of Section 151(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, that would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price shall be decreased, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors determines in good faith to be equitable in the circumstances.
Exhibit A-14
(e) (i) All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest 1/100,000 of a share of Common Stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock. No adjustment in the Conversion Price is required if the amount of such adjustment would be less than 1%; provided, however, that any such adjustment not required to be made pursuant to this Section 11(e)(i) will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further, that any such adjustment of less than 1% that has not been made will be made upon (x) a Conversion Date or Redemption Date or (y) the date of any Change of Control or Mandatory Cancellation.
(ii) No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made, including with respect to Section 4(c) hereof, if Holders participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment, as a result of holding the Series A Preferred Stock, without having to convert the Series A Preferred Stock, as if they held the full number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of the Series A Preferred Stock may then be converted.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted:
(A) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any such plan;
(B) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan, agreement or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
(C) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were first issued;
(D) for a change in the par value of Common Stock;
(E) for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock; or
(F) in connection with any repurchase or retirement of Common Stock other than a Tender Offer that would adjust the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 11(c).
(f) Whenever the Conversion Price is to be adjusted in accordance with Section 11, the Company shall: (i) compute the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 11, taking into account Section 11(e)(i) hereof; (ii) as soon as practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 11, taking into account Section 11(e)(i) (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as
Exhibit A-15
practicable after becoming so aware), provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event; and (iii) as soon as practicable following the determination of the revised Conversion Price in accordance with Section 11 hereof, provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders setting forth in reasonable detail the method by which the adjustment to the Conversion Price was determined and setting forth the revised Conversion Price.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, including Section 11 hereof, in no event shall the Series A Preferred Stock be convertible into more than 6,453,660 shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization, which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes any adjustment pursuant to Section 11(c) or Section 11(d) hereof), which represents 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the Issue Date.
Section 12. Change of Control.
(a) Change of Control Election. On or before the 20th Business Day prior to the date on which the Company anticipates that a Change of Control will be consummated (such date, the “Change of Control Effective Date”) (or, if later, promptly after the Company discovers that a Change of Control will or is reasonably likely to occur or has occurred), a written notice shall be sent by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders as they appear in the records of the Company (such notice, an “Initial Change of Control Notice”). The Initial Change of Control Notice shall contain the date on which the Change of Control is anticipated to be effected (or, if applicable, the date on which a Change of Control has occurred) and shall set forth the material terms of the Change of Control or expected Change of Control, including whether the Change of Control is expected to result in the conversion or cancellation of the Common Stock in exchange for the right to receive consideration and, if so, the consideration expected to be payable in respect thereof. Within 20 Business Days of the receipt of an Initial Change of Control Notice (the “Change of Control Election Period”), each Holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock may elect to: (i) require the Company to redeem all of its outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to 150% of the Liquidation Preference plus Accrued and Unpaid Dividends or (ii) convert all of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to Section 7(a) and Section 8 hereof (each a “Change of Control Election”). Each Change of Control Election made with respect to an anticipated Change of Control that has not yet occurred shall be revocable by the applicable Holder until, and shall be contingent upon, the consummation of such Change of Control, and, other than in the case of a Change of Control resulting in a Mandatory Cancellation as provided in Section 12(b), in the event a Holder fails to make a Change of Control Election prior to the end of the Change of Control Election Period, such Holder’s right to make a Change of Control Election with respect to such Change of Control shall be forfeited. Subject to the consummation of the applicable Change of Control, upon a date that is no later than the later of: (x) 10 Business Days following the expiration of the Change of Control Election Period and (y) 5 Business Days following the Change of Control Effective Date (such date, the “Change of Control Payment Date”), the Company shall consummate each Holder’s Change of Control Election.
Exhibit A-16
(b) Mandatory Cancellation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12(a), if a Change of Control results in the conversion or cancellation of the Common Stock in exchange for consideration consisting exclusively of cash or securities listed for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (“Listed Securities”), then, regardless of whether a Holder makes a Change of Control Election pursuant to Section 12(a), such Holder shall be deemed to have made a Change of Control Election in favor of the alternative that would result in the Holder receiving the greatest amount of consideration payable upon redemption or conversion of its outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to the conversion or cancellation of the Common Stock, with any Listed Securities being valued for such purpose at their closing price per share on the principal national securities exchange on which they are listed on the Trading Day immediately preceding the day on which the Common Stock is converted or cancelled in connection with such Change of Control and the Holder’s outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be automatically cancelled, without the necessity of any action on the part of the Holder, in exchange for the right to receive payment of such consideration on the date of the conversion or cancellation of the Common Stock in connection with such Change of Control (a “Mandatory Cancellation”). In the event of a Mandatory Cancellation, the Company shall provide (or shall cause its successor to provide) notice of such Mandatory Cancellation to the Holders and instructions to the Holders for the surrender of the certificates (or book-entry accounts) representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or, if such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and indemnity in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company or its successor, as applicable), and the Holders’ right to receive payment pursuant to this Section 12(b) shall not be conditioned upon any matters other than such surrender of certificates (or book-entry accounts).
(c) Change of Control Election Procedures. To exercise a Change of Control Election (other than as specified in Section 12(b)), a Holder must, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on or prior to the expiration of the Change of Control Election Period, surrender to the Company the certificates (or book-entry accounts) representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed or converted, as applicable (or, if such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and indemnity in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company), and indicate its Change of Control Election pursuant to Section 12(a).
(d) Insufficient Legally Available Funds. If on a Change of Control Payment Date, the Company does not have sufficient legally available funds to purchase all shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered in connection with any such Change of Control Election pursuant to clause (i) of Section 12(a), then the Company shall purchase the maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that may be purchased with such legally available funds on a pro rata basis and the Holders shall be entitled to withdraw any Change of Control Election with respect to unpurchased shares. To the extent that Holders do not withdraw Change of Control Elections pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Company shall redeem or pay cash consideration on, as applicable, any remaining shares as soon as it has any additional legally available funds.

Section 13. Voting Powers. (a) In addition to the other voting powers and consent rights set forth in this Certificate of Designations, including this Section 13 and as otherwise provided by law, the Holders shall be entitled to (i) vote with the holders of the Common Stock on all matters submitted for a vote of holders of Common Stock, (ii) when voting with the Common Stock, cast a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder are convertible as of the record date for the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote on the matter in question and (iii) notice of all stockholders’ meetings in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, and applicable law or regulation or stock exchange rule, as if the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock were holders of Common Stock.

For the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Series A Preferred Stock to vote for the election of the Series A Director shall be in addition to the right of the Series A Preferred Stock to vote together with the holders of Common Stock for the election of the other members of the Board of Directors.
(c) The Series A Director so elected shall serve until his or her successor is elected and qualified or his or her earlier resignation or removal; any vacancy or newly created directorship in the position of the Series A Director may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A Director may, during his or her term of office, be removed at any time, with or without cause, by and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, in each case at a special meeting called for such purpose or by written consent of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, and any vacancy created by such removal may also be filled by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock at such meeting or by such consent. So long as holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to elect a Series A Director pursuant to Section 13(b), in connection with any annual or special meeting (or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting) of stockholders of the Company at (or, in the case of a written consent, by) which directors of the class to which the Series A Director is initially elected are to be elected, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect a Series A Director based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding on the record date for such meeting (or written consent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time as the threshold set forth in Section 13(b) is not satisfied, the right of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to elect the Series A Director shall terminate and the then serving Series A Director shall promptly resign and shall not be replaced with a new director. The Company and the Board of Directors shall take any and all actions within their respective power to ensure compliance with the terms of this Section 13.
Exhibit A-18
(d) Each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have one vote per share on any matter on which Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class, whether at a meeting or by written consent.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, in no event shall: (i) the aggregate voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock on matters submitted for a vote of holders of Common Stock exceed the equivalent of 6,453,660 shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization, which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes any adjustment pursuant to Section 11(c) or Section 11(d) hereof), with any related reduction in voting power as a result of the foregoing limitation applied pro rata among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock based on the relative number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holders; or (ii) the Conversion Price used for the purposes of determining the voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock on matters submitted for a vote of holders of Common Stock adjust below $8.24 as a result of an adjustment pursuant to Section 11(c) or Section 11(d) hereof.
Section 14. Fractional Shares. (a) No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of any conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
(b) In lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of any conversion pursuant to Section 7 and 8 hereof, the Company shall pay (concurrently with the issuance of the shares of Common Stock) an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price of the Common Stock determined as of the second Trading Day immediately preceding a Conversion Date.
(c) If more than one share of the Series A Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at one time by or for the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered.
Section 15. Protective Provisions. At any time when at least 50% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased from the Company pursuant to the Investment Agreement (accounting for any appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock) are outstanding, the Company shall not, either directly or indirectly do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation) the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class, and any such act or transaction entered into without such consent or vote shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect:
(a) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation in a manner that adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of the Series A Preferred Stock;
Exhibit A-19
(b) create, or authorize the creation of, or issue or obligate itself to issue shares of, any additional class or series of capital stock unless the same ranks equal to or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the payment of dividends and rights of redemption, or increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or increase the authorized number of shares of any additional class or series of capital stock unless the same ranks equal to or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the payment of dividends and rights of redemption; or
(c) reclassify, alter or amend any existing security of the Company that is equal to or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the payment of dividends or rights of redemption, if such reclassification, alteration or amendment would render such other security senior to the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of any such right, preference, or privilege.
Section 16. Reservation of Common Stock. (a) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock or shares of Common Stock acquired by the Company and not retired, solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as provided in this Certificate of Designations, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. The Company shall take all such corporate and other actions as from time to time may be necessary to ensure that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable. For purposes of this Section 16, the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single Holder.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to deliver upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, as herein provided, shares of Common Stock acquired and not retired by the Company (in lieu of the issuance of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock), so long as any such acquired shares are free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests or encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests and other encumbrances that may result solely from such shares of Common Stock being held by the Holders).
(c) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests and other encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by the Holders).
Section 17. Replacement Certificates. The Company shall replace any mutilated Series A Preferred Stock certificate at the Holder’s expense upon surrender of that certificate to the Company. The Company shall replace certificates that become destroyed, stolen or lost at the Holder’s expense upon delivery to the Company of satisfactory evidence that the certificate has
Exhibit A-20
been destroyed, stolen or lost, together with any indemnity that may reasonably be required by the Company.
Section 18. Miscellaneous. (a) All notices referred to herein shall be in writing, and, unless otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt thereof or three Business Days after the mailing thereof if sent by registered or certified mail with postage prepaid, addressed: (i) if to the Company, to its office at 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 or (ii) if to any Holder, to such Holder at the address of such Holder as listed in the stock record books of the Company, or (iii) to such other address as the Company or any such Holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given.
(b) The Company shall pay any and all stock transfer and documentary stamp taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock or other securities issued on account of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto or certificates representing such shares or securities. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock or other securities in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which such shares or other securities are issued or delivered were registered, or in respect of any payment to any Person other than a payment to the registered holder thereof, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
(c) No share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have any rights of preemption whatsoever as to any securities of the Company, or any warrants, rights or options issued or granted with respect thereto, regardless of how such securities, or such warrants, rights or options, may be designated issued or granted.
(d) The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any voting powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation or as provided by applicable law or the Investment Agreement.

(a) Shelf Registration. Unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Company and the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to register pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the offer, sale and distribution of all Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (which shall be filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act), if the Company is then eligible for such short-form, or any similar or successor short-form registration or, if the Company is not then eligible for such short form registration, on Form S-1 or any similar or successor long-form registration; provided that the Company has received the Selling Shareholder Information from the Shareholders registering such Registrable Securities.

The amounts payable as liquidated damages pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid monthly within three (3) business days following the last day of each month following the commencement of the Registration Default Period until the termination of the Registration Default Period (the “Registration Default Period Payment Date”). Such payments shall be made to each Shareholder in cash. Interest shall accrue at the rate of 1% per month on any such liquidated damages payments that shall not be paid by the Registration Default Period Payment Date until such amount is paid in full.
(b) Piggyback Registration.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Sixth Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated as of August 3, 2012, by and among the Company and the other parties thereto, if at any time following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company files a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (such Common Stock and other equity securities collectively, “Other Securities”), whether or not for sale for its own account (other than a registration statement (i) on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or any successor forms, (ii) filed solely in connection with any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan or (iii) pursuant to an Underwritten Demand Notice in accordance with Section 4), then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give written notice of such filing to each Shareholder then holding Registrable Securities at least five (5) business days before the anticipated filing date (or such later date as it becomes commercially reasonable to provide such notice) (the “Piggyback Notice”). The Piggyback Notice and the contents thereof shall be kept confidential by each such Shareholder and its affiliates and representatives, and each such Shareholder shall be responsible for breaches of confidentiality by its affiliates and representatives. The Piggyback Notice shall offer each such Shareholder the opportunity to include in such registration statement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the number of Registrable Securities as it may reasonably request (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received from a Shareholder a written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) business days following receipt of any Piggyback Notice by such Shareholder, provided that such request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Shareholder and the intended method of distribution. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, failure to provide a Piggyback Notice shall not prohibit the commencement of any sale of Other Securities in a public offering to which this Section 3(b) applies. The Shareholders shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of the Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration at any time at least five (5) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to such Piggyback Registration. No Piggyback Registration shall count as the single Underwritten Take-Down that the Shareholders are entitled to demand pursuant to Section 4.
(ii) If any Other Securities are to be sold in an underwritten offering, (1) the Company or other Persons designated by the Company shall have the right to appoint the book-running, managing and other underwriter(s) for such offering in their discretion and (2) the Shareholders shall be permitted to
Exhibit B-4
include all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration in such underwritten offering on the same terms and conditions as such Other Securities proposed by the Company or any third party to be included in such offering; provided, however, that if such offering involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering advise the Company that the total amount of Registrable Securities requested to be so included, together with all Other Securities that the Company and any other Persons the Company intends to include in such offering, exceeds the total number or dollar amount of such securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities to be so included together with all Other Securities, then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities and such Other Securities that the managing underwriter(s) advise can be sold without so adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities shall be allocated for inclusion as follows: (x) to the extent such public offering is the result of a registration initiated by the Company, (i) first, all Other Securities being sold by the Company; (ii) second, all Other Securities of any holders thereof (other than the Company and the Shareholders) requesting inclusion in such registration, pro rata, based on the aggregate number of Other Securities beneficially owned by each such holder and (iii) all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Shareholders pro rata, based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by each such holder, or (y) to the extent such public offering is the result of a registration by any Persons (other than the Company or the Shareholders) exercising a contractual right to demand registration, (i) first, all Other Securities owned by such Persons exercising the contractual right; (ii) second, all Other Securities being sold by the Company and (iii) third, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Shareholders plus all Other Securities of any holders thereof (other than the Company, the Shareholders and the Persons exercising the contractual right) requesting inclusion in such registration, pro rata, based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by each such holder.
Section 4. Offerings.
(a) Underwritten Offering. Provided the Purchaser holds a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the Purchaser shall have a one-time right to provide the Company with written notice (the “Underwritten Demand Notice”) demanding that the Company participate in a single underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities that will allow for block trades of Registrable Securities (whether or not such underwritten offering is a Marketed Offering, the “Underwritten Take-Down”). In connection with the Underwritten Take-Down, subject to Section 4(c) hereof, the Company shall agree to cause its officers to use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the Underwritten Take-Down (including, if the offering is a Marketed Offering, participation in a “road show”) to the extent requested by the demanding holders; provided, however, that the Underwritten Demand Notice may only be made if the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be sold by such Shareholder(s) in the underwritten offering is reasonably expected to result in aggregate gross cash proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 (without regard to any underwriting discount or commission).
(b) Procedures and Priority of Underwritten Take-Down. In connection with the Underwritten Take-Down pursuant to Section 4(a):
(i) upon delivering an Underwritten Demand Notice, the Purchaser shall promptly notify all holders of Registrable Securities not party to the Underwritten Demand Notice of the Underwritten Take-Down and, if requested within five business days of delivery of such notice, include the Registrable Securities of such other holders in the Underwritten Take-Down; and
(ii) in the event that the underwriters of the Underwritten Take-Down advise the Purchaser in writing that it is their good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold exceeds the total number or dollar amount of such securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of such offering (including securities entitled
Exhibit B-5
to be included in the offering pursuant to incidental or other registration rights), then the underwriters may limit the number of Registrable Securities and other securities that would otherwise be included in such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities and such other securities shall be allocated as follows:
(A) first, pro rata among the holders of Registrable Securities that have requested to participate in such underwritten offering on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering by such holders; and
(B) second, the securities for which inclusion in such offering, as the case may be, was requested by the Company.
No securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such offering.
(c) Postponement of Offerings. The Company shall be entitled to postpone (but not more than twice in any 12-month period), for a reasonable period of time not in excess of 60 days, an Underwritten Take-Down and/or Shelf Offering if the Company delivers to the Shareholder(s) proposing to participate in such Underwritten Take-Down or Shelf Offering, as applicable, a certificate certifying that such offering would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect or materially interfere with any bona fide material financing of the Company or any material transaction under consideration by the Company, require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Allowed Delay”). The Shareholder(s) receiving such certificate shall keep the information contained in such certificate confidential subject to the same terms set forth in Section 6(o).
(d) Use of Registration Statement. Each Shareholder agrees that, so long as it holds Registrable Securities and a Registration Statement is effective pursuant to Section 3(a), such Shareholder agrees to make any sale of Registrable Securities, whether or not such sale is an underwritten offering, pursuant to such Registration Statement and not by means of any exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees with all other holders of Registrable Securities and the Company in connection with any underwritten offering made pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 4 (whether or not such holder elected to include Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement), if requested (pursuant to a written notice) by the managing underwriter or underwriters in such offering, or during a postponement of an offering pursuant to Section 4(c), not to effect any public sale or distribution of any of the Company’s securities (except as part of such underwritten offering), including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or any swap or other economic arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic consequences of owning the Common Stock during the period commencing on the date of the Prospectus and continuing for not more than 90 days after the date of the Prospectus (or Prospectus supplement if the offering is made pursuant to a “shelf” registration), pursuant to which such public offering shall be made. In connection with any underwritten offering made pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall be responsible for negotiating all “lock-up” agreements with the underwriters and, in addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, the Shareholders and holders of Registrable Securities agree to execute the form so negotiated; provided, that the form so negotiated is reasonably acceptable to the Shareholders and holders of Registrable Securities and consistent with the agreement set forth in this Section 5 and that, in the case of a Marketed Offering, the Company’s Named Executive Officers and directors shall also have executed such form of agreement so negotiated.
If any offering pursuant to this Agreement shall be in connection with: (i) a Marketed Offering (including with respect to the Underwritten Take-Down pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof), the Company will cause each of its
Exhibit B-6

(c) notify each selling holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, promptly, and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if at any time the Company has reason to believe that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 6(n) below cease to be true and correct, (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (vi) if the Company has knowledge of the
Exhibit B-7
happening of any event that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (which notice shall notify the selling holders only of the occurrence of such an event and shall provide no additional information regarding such event to the extent such information would constitute material non-public information);
(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest date reasonably practicable;
(e) if requested by the managing underwriters in connection with the Underwritten Take-Down, if any, or the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten offering, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriters, if any, and such holders may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 6(e) that are not, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, in compliance with applicable law;
(f) furnish or make available to each selling holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel and each managing underwriter, if any, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and Prospectus supplements, if applicable, and each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements (but excluding schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits, unless requested in writing by such holder, counsel or underwriter); provided that the Company may furnish or make available any such documents in electronic format;
(g) deliver to each selling holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel, and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of Prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request from time to time in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities; provided that the Company may furnish or make available any such documents in electronic format (other than, in the case of a Marketed Offering, upon the request of the managing underwriters thereof for printed copies of any such Prospectus or Prospectuses); and the Company, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 6, hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling holders of Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any such amendment or supplement thereto;
(h) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling holders of Registrable Securities, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any seller or underwriter reasonably requests in writing and to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to this Agreement and to take any other action that may be necessary or advisable to enable such holders of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Company will not be
Exhibit B-8

(i) cooperate with, and direct the Company’s transfer agent to cooperate with, the selling holders of Registrable Securities and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely settlement of any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including the preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any legends) or book-entry positions (not bearing stop transfer instructions) representing Registrable Securities to be sold after receiving written representations from each holder of such Registrable Securities that the Registrable Securities represented by the certificates so delivered by such holder will be transferred in accordance with the Registration Statement and, in connection therewith, if reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall, promptly after the effectiveness of the registration statement, cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of any Registration Statement to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without restriction upon sale by the holder of such shares of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement;
(j) upon the occurrence of, and its knowledge of, any event contemplated by Section 6(c)(vi) above, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such that the Registration Statement will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and the Prospectus will not contain an 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(k) prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities, provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable Securities;
(l) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;
(m) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all shares of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be listed on a national securities exchange if shares of the particular class of Registrable Securities are at that time listed on such exchange prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement;
(n) in connection with the Underwritten Take-Down, enter into such agreements (including underwriting agreements in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings and such other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting agreements, including customary legal opinions and auditor “comfort” letters) and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith (including those reasonably requested by the managing underwriters, if any) to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
(o) in connection with a customary due diligence review relating to the Underwritten Take-Down, make available for inspection by a representative of the selling holders of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any counsel or accountants retained by such selling holders or underwriter (collectively, the “Offering Persons”), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents
Exhibit B-9
and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information and participate in customary due diligence sessions in each case as reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, counsel or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that any information that is not generally publicly available at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by such Offering Persons unless (i) disclosure of such information is required by court or administrative order, (ii) disclosure of such information, in the reasonable judgment of the Offering Persons, is required by law or applicable legal process (including in connection with the offer and sale of securities pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC), (iii) such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a non-permitted disclosure or failure to safeguard by such Offering Persons in violation of this Agreement or (iv) such information (A) was known to such Offering Persons (prior to its disclosure by the Company) from a source other than the Company when such source, to the knowledge of the Offering Persons, was not bound by any contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company with respect to such information, (B) becomes available to the Offering Persons from a source other than the Company when such source, to the knowledge of the Offering Persons, is not bound by any contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company with respect to such information or (C) was developed independently by the Offering Persons or their respective representatives without the use or, or reliance on, information provided by the Company. In the case of a proposed disclosure pursuant to (i) or (ii) above, such Person shall be required to give the Company written notice of the proposed disclosure prior to such disclosure (except in the case of (ii) above when a proposed disclosure was or is to be made in connection with a Registration Statement or Prospectus under this Agreement); and
(p) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), including the use of commercially reasonable efforts to obtain FINRA’s pre-clearance or pre-approval of the Registration Statement and applicable Prospectus upon filing with the SEC.
The Company may require each holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company in writing such information required in connection with such registration regarding such seller and the distribution of such Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, updating any information contained in the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire, as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.
Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees, if such holder has Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, that, upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Sections 6(c)(ii), 6(c)(iii), 6(c)(iv) or 6(c)(v), such holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus until such holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(j), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus.

Except as set forth above, the Company shall not be required pursuant to this Agreement to pay (i) fees and disbursements of any counsel retained by any holder of Registrable Securities or by any underwriter, (ii) any underwriter’s fees (including discounts, commissions or fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals) relating to the distribution of the Registrable Securities (other than with respect to Registrable Securities sold by the Company), or (iii) any other expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities not specifically required to be paid by the Company pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 7.
Section 8. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are covered by a Registration Statement or Prospectus, the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls each such holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each such controlling person, each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such underwriter, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or Proceeding), expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other document (including any related Registration Statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 8(a)) will reimburse each such holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees and each Person who controls each such holder and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each such controlling person, each such underwriter and each Person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Loss or action as incurred; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission by such holder or underwriter, but only to the extent that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such holder of Registrable Securities furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities expressly for inclusion therein (it being understood that, with respect to each Shareholder, such information is limited to the information provided by the Shareholder in its most recent Selling Shareholder Questionnaire furnished to the Company, the “Selling Shareholder Information”). It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
Exhibit B-11
(b) Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities. The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with this Agreement, that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the prospective seller of such Registrable Securities to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, severally and not jointly with any other holders of Registrable Securities, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and all other prospective sellers, from and against all Losses arising out of or based on any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other document incident to such registration, or any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and to reimburse the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and all other prospective sellers for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss or action, as incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Shareholder Information furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities expressly for inclusion therein; provided, however, that the obligations of such holder under such undertaking shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that the liability of such holder of Registrable Securities shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such selling holder from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder or under the undertaking contemplated by Section 8(b) (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been proximately and materially prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or Proceeding, to, unless in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim or Proceeding or there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that may not be available to the Indemnifying Party or that may be in conflict with those available to the Indemnifying Party, assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or Proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume, or as a result of an actual or potential conflict of interest with or having actual or potential differing defenses from those of the Indemnified Party cannot assume, the defense of such claim or Proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to assume the defense of such claim or proceeding at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; provided, further, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related claims or Proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all of the Indemnified Parties. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably
Exhibit B-12
withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder. All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, promptly upon receipt of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 8).
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (other than in accordance with its terms), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made (or omitted) by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), an Indemnifying Party that is a selling holder of Registrable Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that such Indemnifying Party has otherwise been, or would otherwise be, required to pay pursuant to Section 8(b) by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
Section 9. Rule 144.
(a) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner, to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144; and (ii) so long as any Registrable Securities are outstanding, furnish holders thereof upon request (A) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act and (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company (except to the extent the same is available on XXXXX).
(b) The foregoing provisions of this Section 9 are not intended to modify or otherwise affect any restrictions on transfers of securities contained in the Investment Agreement.
Exhibit B-13
Section 10. Underwritten Registrations.
(a) In connection with the Underwritten Take-Down, the investment banker or investment bankers and managers shall be selected by the Purchaser, which selection shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (and approval of the same not to be unreasonably withheld).
(b) No Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell the Registrable Securities it desires to have covered by a Registration Statement on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in customary form and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
Section 11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of holders of Registrable Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other holders of Registrable Securities may be given by holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities being sold by such holders pursuant to such Registration Statement.

This Agreement, together with the Investment Agreement and the Certificate of Designations, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
(i) Securities Held by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Whenever the consent or approval of holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable
Exhibit B-15
Securities held by the Company or its subsidiaries shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the holders of such required percentage.
(j) Right to Conduct Activities. The Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Purchaser (together with its affiliates) (“Google Capital”) are professional investment funds, and as such invest in numerous portfolio companies, some of which may be deemed competitive with the Company’s business (as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted). The Company hereby agrees that, to the extent permitted under applicable law, Google Capital shall not be liable to the Company for any claim arising out of, or based upon, (i) the investment by Google Capital in any entity competitive with the Company, or (ii) actions taken by any partner, officer or other representative of Google Capital to assist any such competitive company, whether or not such action was taken as a member of the board of directors of such competitive company or otherwise, and whether or not such action has a detrimental effect on the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve (x) Google Capital from liability associated with the unauthorized disclosure of the Company’s confidential information obtained in connection with its relationship with the Company, or (y) any director or officer of the Company from any liability associated with his or her fiduciary duties to the Company.
(k) Use of Name. For so long as Google Capital continues to hold Convertible Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company, and its subsidiaries and any of their respective representatives shall not (i) use, other than in internal communications solely among the Company and its subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees and legal and financial advisors, the name of Google Capital, Google Inc., Alphabet Inc. or any of their affiliates in any manner or format (including reference on or links to websites, press releases, etc.) without the prior written approval of Google Capital, or (ii) issue any statement or communication to any third party (other than to their legal, accounting and financial advisors, and other than to directors, officers, employees, members, partners and existing or potential investors or acquirers under a duty of confidentiality) regarding Google Capital’s investment in the Company, without the prior written approval of Google Capital; provided, however, that this provision shall not in any event impair rights granted to the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives with respect to such matters pursuant to other agreements that they have entered into with affiliates of the Purchaser, and shall not restrict the ability of the Company to provide disclosures regarding the ownership of its capital stock as required by law or regulation.
(l) Specific Performance; Further Assurances. The parties hereto recognize and agree that money damages may be insufficient to compensate the holders of any Registrable Securities for breaches by the Company of the terms hereof and, consequently, that the equitable remedy of specific performance of the terms hereof will be available in the event of any such breach. The parties hereto agree that in the event the registrations and sales of Registrable Securities are effected pursuant to the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States, such parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to give effect as closely as possible to the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement, taking into account customary practices of such foreign jurisdiction, including executing such documents and taking such further actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to carry out the foregoing.
(m) Term. Other than with respect to this Section 11, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to a Shareholder on the date on which such Shareholder ceases to hold Registrable Securities; provided, that, such Shareholder’s rights and obligations pursuant to Section 8, as well as the Company’s obligations to pay expenses pursuant to Section 7, shall survive with respect to any registration statement in which any Registrable Securities of such Shareholders were included and, for the avoidance of doubt, any underwriter lock-up that a Shareholder has executed prior to a Shareholder’s termination in accordance with this clause shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.
(n) Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the federal courts of the United States of America located in New York, and appropriate appellate courts therefrom, over any dispute
Exhibit B-16
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. This consent to jurisdiction is being given solely for purposes of this Agreement and is not intended to, and shall not, confer consent to jurisdiction with respect to any other dispute in which a party to this Agreement may become involved.
Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any suit, action, or proceeding of the nature specified in the paragraph above by the mailing of a copy thereof in the manner specified by the provisions of Section 11(b).
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

The selling shareholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may use one or more of the following methods when disposing of the shares or interests therein:
• | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
• | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
• | through brokers, dealers or underwriters that may act solely as agents; |
• | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
• | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
• | privately negotiated transactions; |
• | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
• | broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
• | a combination of any such methods of disposition; and |
• | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
Appendix II-7
The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling shareholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling shareholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus.
Upon being notified in writing by a selling shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling shareholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon being notified in writing by a selling shareholder that a donee or pledge intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, we will file a supplement to this prospectus if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
The selling shareholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell shares of common stock short after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other
Appendix II-8
financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act and the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
We have advised the selling shareholders that they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act during such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of the shares. The foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.
The aggregate proceeds to the selling securityholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling securityholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or otherwise.
We have agreed with the selling shareholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until all securities under such Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities or such shorter period upon which all shareholders with Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have notified the Company that such Registrable Securities have actually been sold.

FOOTNOTES
1. | Beneficial Ownership. You are the beneficial owner of a security, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), if you, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise have or share: (1) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security, and/or (2) investment power, which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such security. You are also the beneficial owner of a security if you, directly or indirectly, create or use a trust, proxy, power of attorney, pooling arrangement or any other contract, arrangement or device with the purpose or effect of divesting yourself of beneficial ownership of a security or preventing the vesting of such beneficial ownership. |
You are deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if you have the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security at any time within 60 days including, but not limited to, any right to acquire such security (a) through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (b) through the conversion of a security, or (c) pursuant to the automatic termination of, or the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account, or similar arrangement.
Ordinarily, shares held in the name of your spouse or minor child should be considered as beneficially owned by you absent special circumstances to indicate that you do not have, as a practical matter, voting power or investment power over such shares. Similarly, absent countervailing facts, securities held in the name of relatives who share your home are to be reported as being beneficially owned by you. In addition, securities held for your benefit in the name of others, such as nominees, trustees and other fiduciaries, securities held by a partnership of which you are a partner, and securities held by a corporation controlled by you should be regarded as beneficially owned by you.
This definition of beneficial ownership is very broad; therefore, even though you may not actually have or share voting or investment power with respect to securities owned by persons in your family or living in your home, you should include such shares in your beneficial ownership disclosure and may then disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities.
2. | Associate. The term “associate”, as defined in Rule 14a-1 under the Exchange Act, means (a) any corporation or organization (other than the Company or any of its majority owned subsidiaries) of which you are an officer or partner or are, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of equity securities, (b) any trust or other estate in which you have a substantial beneficial interest or as to which you serve as trustee or in a similar capacity, and (c) your spouse, or any relative of yours or relative of your spouse living in your home or who is a director or officer of the Company or of any subsidiary. The term “relative of yours” as used in this Questionnaire refers to any relative or spouse of yours, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same home as you or who is a director or officer of any subsidiary of the Company. |
Please identify your associate referred to in your answer and indicate your relationship.
3. | Immediate Family. The members of your “immediate family” are deemed to include the following: your spouse; your parents; your children; your siblings; your mother-in-law or father-in-law; your sons- and daughters-in-law; and your brothers- and sisters-in-law. |
4. | Transactions. The term “transaction” is to be understood in its broadest sense, and includes the direct or indirect receipt of anything of value. Please note that indirect as well as direct |
Appendix II-11
material interests in transactions are to be disclosed. Transactions in which you would have a direct interest would include your purchasing or leasing anything (stock in a business acquired by the Company, office space, plants, Company apartments, computers, raw materials, finished goods, etc.) from or selling or leasing anything to, or borrowing or lending cash or other property from or to, the Company, or any subsidiary.

Exhibit 1
Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations Section 239.10: “An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”
