SECTION 2.1. Piggyback Registrations. If the Company proposes to register Equity Securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8, or any successor or other forms promulgated for similar purposes, and other than demand registrations pursuant to Section 2.2) involving the offering of such Equity Securities at any time on or after the last day of the Restricted Period (the “Restricted Period Termination Date”), whether or not for sale for its own account, in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities of the same class of such Equity Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, it will, at each such time, give prompt written or telephonic notice (a “Piggyback Offering Notice”) to the Holders of: its intention to do so, the form on which the Company expects to effect such registration (e.g. Form X-0, Xxxx X-0, Form S-3ASR), the anticipated filing date with the SEC of such registration statement, the anticipated date that the registration statement will be declared or otherwise become effective, whether the offering is to be underwritten, in the case of Form S-3 or Form S-3ASR, the anticipated date and time that the offering will be made. The registration rights provided for in this Section 2.1 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, registrations made upon the demand of any Holder in accordance with Section 2.2.

(a) Form S-1. If the Company indicates in the Piggyback Offering Notice that it intends to effect a registration pursuant to Form S-1, upon the written request of any Holder (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be registered by such Holder), made within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice but in no event later than two (2) Business Days prior to the date the Form S-1 is filed with the SEC, the Company will, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 and the provision of the information specified in Section 2.5, use reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof.

(b) Form S-3. If the Company indicates in the Piggyback Offering Notice that it intends to effect a registration pursuant to Form S-3, upon the written request of any Holder (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be registered by such Holder), made within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice but in no event later than two (2) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement as indicated in such notice, notifying the Company whether any Holders intend to include within the Form S-3 or any Prospectus included therein Registrable Securities, the Company will, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 and the provision of the information specified in Section 2.5, use reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof.

(c) Form S-3ASR. If the Company indicates in the Piggyback Offering Notice that it intends to effect a registration pursuant to Form S-3ASR, upon the written request of any Holder (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be registered by such Holder), made within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice but in no event later than two

-2-

(2) Business Days (six (6) business hours in the case that the Company’s notice specifies that the offering is expected to occur within one (1) Business Day following the date of the notice, or one (1) Business Day in the case that the Company’s notice specifies that the offering is expected to occur within two (2) Business Days) prior the date and time of the offering as specified in the Company’s notice, notifying the Company whether any Holders intend to include within such Form S-3ASR or any Prospectus included therein Registrable Securities, the Company will, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 and the provision of the information specified in Section 2.5, use reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof.

(d) Right to Withdraw. If a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 involves an underwritten offering, any Holder requesting to be included in such registration may elect, in writing prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, not to register all or any part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in connection with such registration.

(e) Conversion into Registrable Securities. Nothing in this Section 2.1 shall limit the right of any Holder to request the registration of the Registrable Securities issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares by such Holder (subject to such conversion occurring prior to such registration), notwithstanding the fact that at the time of the request such Holder holds Series B Preferred Stock and not Registrable Securities.

SECTION 2.2. Demand Registration.

(a) General.

(i) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2(a), upon the written request (a “Demand Notice”) of holders holding at least 40% of the aggregate Registrable Securities then held by the Holders (collectively the “Demand Party”) (assuming conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Conversion Shares) requesting that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or part of such Demand Party’s Registrable Securities, which Registrable Securities will be offered for sale on or after the Restricted Period Termination Date, and specifying the amount and intended method of disposition thereof, including pursuant to a shelf registration statement utilizing Rule 415 of the Securities Act (or its successor provision) (a “Shelf Registration”), thereupon the Company will promptly give written notice of such requested registration to each of the other Holders and thereupon will, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than 45 days after the date of the Demand Notice in the case of a Demand Notice dated on or after the Restricted Period Termination Date), file and use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective under the Securities Act a registration statement to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the following, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing: (x) to the extent a Demand Notice is delivered not less than 45 days prior to the Restricted Period Termination Date requesting a Shelf Registration, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective no later than

-3-

the Restricted Period Termination Date, and (y) under no circumstances under this Section 2.2(a) (including the foregoing clause (x)) shall the Company be required to file any registration statement prior to the date that is 45 days prior to the Restricted Period Termination Date:

(1) such Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Demand Party under the Demand Notice; and

(2) the Registrable Securities of Holders which the Company has been requested to register by written request to the Company by the Holders within ten (10) days after the giving of such written notice by the Company to the Holders (which request shall specify the amount and intended method of disposition of such securities).

all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended method thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities and such other securities so to be registered.

(ii) Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall limit the right of any Holder to request the registration of the Registrable Securities issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares by such Holder (subject to such conversion occurring prior to such registration), notwithstanding the fact that at the time of the request such Holder holds Series B Preferred Stock and not Registrable Securities.

(b) Shelf Take-Downs. Any of the Holders whose Registrable Securities have been registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration may initiate an offering or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration (each, a “Shelf Take-Down”) and, except as set forth in this Section 2.2(b) with respect to Marketed Underwritten Offerings, such Holder shall not be required to permit the offer and sale of Registrable Securities by other Holders in connection with such Shelf Take-Down. If the initiating Holders so elect by written request to the Company, a Shelf Take-Down may be in the form of an underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), and the Company shall, if so requested, file and effect an amendment or supplement of the Shelf Registration for such purpose as soon as practicable. Only the Demand Party shall have the right to initiate an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down that is a Marketed Underwritten Offering, and any such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down that is a Marketed Underwritten Offering shall be deemed to be a registration pursuant to Section 2.2(a), and the Company shall provide notice to the other Holders of such registration in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2(a).

(c) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.2 will not be deemed to have been effected unless: (i) it has been declared effective by the SEC or has otherwise become effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) it has been filed with the SEC but abandoned or withdrawn at the request of the Demand Party prior to effectiveness, other than an abandonment or withdrawal requested because of: (A) the stock price of the Company’s Common Stock falling 15% or more since the delivery of a request for registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 (provided that such registration shall be deemed to have been effected, unless (x) the Holders participating in the registration reimburse the Company for Registration Expenses incurred or payable by the Company up until the receipt of notice of an abandonment or withdrawal pursuant to this clause (A) and for the withdrawal of the registration statement, and (y) a Demand Party has

-4-

not previously requested abandonment or withdrawal of a registration pursuant to this clause (A) (it being understood that an abandonment or withdrawal pursuant to this clause (A) may be made only once)), (B) the delivery of a postponement notice pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iv), (C) a material adverse change in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ prospects, business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations, taken as a whole, which became known to the Holders or the public after the delivery of a request for registration pursuant to this Section 2.2, or (D) the discovery of materially adverse, non-public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(d) Selection of Underwriters. If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 involves an underwritten offering, the investment bankers, underwriters and managers for such registration shall be selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register; provided, however, that such selection of investment bankers, underwriters and managers shall be subject to the reasonable approval by the Company.

(e) Priority in Demand Registrations; Right to Abandon or Withdraw. If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of Equity Securities (including Registrable Securities) to be included in such registration as contemplated by the Holders and the Company would be likely to exceed the largest number of Equity Securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the success of such offering, including any impact on the selling price or the number of Equity Securities that can be sold (the “Maximum Offering Size”), then the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, 100% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Demand Party and other Holders of Registrable Securities who have requested that their Registrable Securities be included up to the Maximum Offering Size (such Registrable Securities allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among the Demand Party and the other Holders of Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such registration by each) and (ii) second, to the extent the managing underwriter believes additional securities can be sold in the offering without exceeding the Maximum Offering Size, the securities the Company proposes to sell up to the number of securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Offering Size. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall advise the Holders participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 that the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement cannot be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Demand Party or that all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a registration by a Demand Party pursuant to this Section 2.2 cannot be sold in the manner requested, then the Demand Party shall have the right to notify the Company that it has determined that the registration statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall abandon or withdraw such registration statement; it being understood that in the event the Demand Party exercises its right set forth in this sentence, the Company shall remain liable for any Registration Expenses pursuant to Section 2.6 and that the abandonment or withdrawal of the registration statement shall nevertheless constitute a registration for purposes of Section 2.3(b)(i) unless the Demand Party elects to pay (or reimburse the Company for) such Registration Expenses, in which case such registration statement shall not constitute a registration for purposes of Section 2.3(b)(i).

-5-

(f) Notification of Sales. Prior to the sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the Holders shall give reasonable prior written notice of such sale to the Company under the particular circumstances, but in any event at least two (2) Business Days prior notice, which notice may contemplate possible sales by the Holder over a period of time not to exceed one (1) week but need not specify the number of Registrable Securities to be sold, the method of distribution or proposed purchaser or underwriter. Delivery of such notice shall not obligate the Holders to consummate such sale. Any underwritten sale pursuant to a Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 must be for a number of Registrable Securities which, based on the good faith determination of the Holders, will result in gross proceeds of at least $80 million in the case of any Marketed Underwritten Offering or $30 million in the case of any other underwritten offering.

SECTION 2.3. Exceptions to the Company’s Obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.1 to the contrary:

(i) if, at any time after giving a Piggyback Offering Notice, the Company shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Holders and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith); and

(ii) if a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of Equity Securities (including Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration) to be included in such registration as contemplated by the Company and the Holders would be likely to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, then the Company shall include in such registration (a) first, 100% of the securities the Company proposes to sell, and (b) second, to the extent of the amount of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Offering Size, the amount of Registrable Securities which the Holders have requested to be included in such registration, such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders and all other Persons entitled to registration rights, on the basis of the relative amount of Registrable Securities then held by each such Person (provided that any such amount thereby allocated to any such Person that exceeds such Person’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting Persons in a like manner to the extent practicable).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.2 to the contrary:

(i) in no event shall the Company be required to effect more than (x) three (3) registrations pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or (y) three (3) Marketed Underwritten Offerings;

-6-

(ii) in no event shall the Company be obligated to prepare and file (x) any such registration statement or (y) any prospectus supplement thereto relating to a Marketed Underwritten Offering, in each case with respect to Registrable Securities with a market value (based on then current trading prices) of less than $80 million;

(iii) the Company shall not be obligated to (x) file a registration statement under Section 2.2(a) within a period of 270 days after the effective date of any other registration statement, (1) for which the Holders exercised their rights pursuant Section 2.1 to include Registrable Securities, provided that the Company and the underwriters did not limit in its entirety the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder was permitted to include in such registration statement or (2) which the Company filed or effected pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or (y) effect more than one Marketed Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.2 in any 180-day period;

(iv) if the Company receives a request for registration pursuant to Section 2.2, at a time when (A) the Company has commenced, or has a bona fide intention to commence, a public or Rule 144A securities offering transaction, (B) registration of the Registrable Securities would, in the good faith judgment of the executive officers of the Company (after consultation with counsel), impede, delay or otherwise interfere with any pending or contemplated material acquisition, corporate reorganization or similar material transaction, or (C) non-public material information not otherwise then required by Law to be publicly disclosed regarding the Company exists, the immediate disclosure of which would in the good faith judgment of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel of the Company be disadvantageous in any material respect to the Company (clauses (A), B) and (C), a “Material Pending Event”), then the Company may postpone the filing (but not the preparation) of a registration statement requested pursuant to Section 2.2 for a period not to exceed 90 consecutive calendar days from the date of a Demand Notice upon providing the Demand Party with written notice of such postponement (which notice need not include a statement of the reason for such postponement); provided that the Company shall at all times in good faith use reasonable best efforts to cause any registration statement required by Section 2.2 to be filed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; provided, further, that the Company shall postpone the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(iv) for no more than 180 days in the aggregate in any twelve-month period in respect of all requested registrations; and provided further that the Company shall make prompt and adequate disclosure of any material information required to be disclosed from time to time in accordance with Law and Nasdaq rules. Each Holder shall keep confidential any communications received by it from the Company regarding the postponement pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(iv) (including the fact of the postponement), except as required by Law. In the event that the Company gives the Holders the notice specified in this Section 2.3(b)(i), the Demand Party shall have the right, within 15 days after receipt thereof, to withdraw its request under Section 2.2, in which case such request shall not be counted as a demand for purposes of Section 2.2 or for purposes of the limitations set forth in Section 2.3(b)(i);

(v) if the Company receives a request for registration pursuant to Section 2.2, at a time when there is a Material Pending Event, then the Company may suspend sales under a shelf registration statement, or a registration statement pursuant to which Registrable Securities are

-7-

not immediately sold after the effectiveness thereof, for a period not to exceed 60 days in any 90-day period upon providing the Holders with written notice of such suspension (which notice shall include a statement of the reason for such suspension); provided, that the Company shall suspend the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(v) for no more than 180 days in the aggregate in any twelve-month period and three (3) times in any twelve-month period respect of all requested registrations; and provided further that the Company shall make prompt and adequate disclosure of any material information required to be disclosed from time to time in accordance with Law and Nasdaq rules. Upon receipt of a notice from the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3(b)(v), each Holder agrees not to sell or offer to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such shelf registration statement until the Company notifies such Holder that the shelf registration statement may be used (which notice the Company shall promptly provide following the termination of the event or circumstance giving rise to such suspension). Each Holder shall keep confidential any communications received by it from the Company regarding the suspension of sales pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(v) (including the fact of the suspension), except as required by Law; and

(vi) in no event shall the Company be obligated to prepare and file in connection with any Shelf Take-Down any post-effective amendment to a Shelf Registration or any prospectus supplement with respect to such Shelf Take-Down unless the Holders requesting such filing expect in good faith to sell Registrable Securities in connection therewith for an aggregate gross sales price of at least $25 million ($30 million with respect to an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down).

(i) if all of the Registrable Securities held by a Holder (together with those of its Affiliates) constitute less than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock and can be sold without restriction under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, the Company shall not be required to effect any registrations, Shelf Take-Downs or Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs of any kind for such Holder pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 (but the Company shall be required to maintain the effectiveness of any shelf registration statement as required by Section 2.4(b));

(ii) if all of the Registrable Securities held by a Holder (together with those of its Affiliates) constitute less than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock and can be sold within any three (3) month period without restriction under Rule 144 because the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder does not exceed the volume limitations imposed by Rule 144(e) of the Securities Act, the Company shall not be required to effect any registrations, Shelf Take-Downs or Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs of any kind for such Holder pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2; and

(iii) if any registration involves an underwritten offering, all Holders requesting to participate in any registration in connection with an underwritten offering hereunder must sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled to approve such arrangements (with such differences, including any with respect to indemnification and liability insurance, as may be customary or appropriate in combined

-8-

SECTION 2.4. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to effect a registration of any Registrable Securities as provided in this Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3, the Company will:

(a) promptly prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use reasonable best efforts to cause a registration statement with respect to a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.2 to be filed (in the case of a registration pursuant to Form S-3ASR), or become effective (in the case of any registration other than pursuant to Form S-3ASR) as promptly as practicable;

In the event that the Company shall give any such notice, the period referred to in Section 2.4(b) shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 2.4(e) and to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall have receive the copies of the supplemented and amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.4(e).

SECTION 2.8. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each Affiliate of such Holder and their respective directors and officers, members or general and limited partners (and the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (hereinafter referred to as a “Controlling Person”) of any of the foregoing), and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act any underwriter (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities, joint or several, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened in writing) in respect thereof (“Claims”) and expenses arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus prepared by it or authorized by it in writing for use by such Holder (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary

-13-

in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and the Company will reimburse each such Seller Indemnified Party for any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and any other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Claim; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged 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, or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; and provided, further that, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, further that the Company will not be liable to any Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 2.8(a) to the extent that any Claims for which such Seller Indemnified Party seeking indemnification relates to a sale of Registrable Securities in violation of Section 2.3(b)(v).

(b) Indemnification by the Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the registration statement or Prospectus, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, all other Holders or any prospective underwriter, as the case may be, and any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers and Controlling Persons (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), against all Claims and expenses arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and the Holder will reimburse each such Company Indemnified Party for any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and any other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Claim, in each case to the extent, 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, or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; and provided that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be

-14-

unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, further, that in the absence of fraud by such Holder, the liability of each selling Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement.

(c) Notification of Claims. Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 2.8 (an “Indemnified Party”) hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 2.8, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 2.8, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in any material respect by such failure to give notice. In case any such action or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such action or proceeding (in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor (but in no event will bear the expenses for more than one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in each jurisdiction who shall, with respect to Seller Indemnified Parties, be approved by the majority of the participating Holders in the registration in respect of which such indemnification is sought), the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof (at its expense), jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and shall have no liability for any settlement made by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the indemnifying party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party will settle any action or proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement or judgment (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff of a release to such Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such action or proceeding and (ii) does not involve the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any obligations on such Indemnified Party and does not otherwise adversely affect such Indemnified Party, other than as a result of the imposition of financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder. An Indemnified Party may not settle any action or proceeding or the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party.

(d) Contribution. (i) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.8 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Claim or expenses referred to herein, then the 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 Claim or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the

-15-

indemnifying party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Claim or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and Indemnified Party 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 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 such action. The amount paid or payable by a party under this Section 2.8(d) as a result of the Claim and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any action or proceeding; and (ii) the parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 2.8(d)(i). 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) Non-Exclusive Remedy. The obligations of the parties under this Section 2.8 shall be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party.

SECTION 2.9. Required Reports. The Company covenants that it will use reasonable best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

SECTION 2.10. Selection of Counsel. In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by any such registration may select one counsel to represent all Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration; provided, however, that in the event that the counsel selected as provided above is also acting as counsel to the Company in connection with such registration, a majority of the remaining Holders shall be entitled to select one additional counsel to represent all such remaining Holders.

SECTION 2.11. Market Standoff Agreement. Subject to the proviso in Section 2.3(c)(iii), in connection with any underwritten public offering, each Holder who was offered the opportunity to include Registrable Securities in such offering pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 will agree upon the request of the managing underwriter with respect to such offering not to effect any public sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, of any Equity Security of the Company during

-16-

the 14-day period prior to, and for the 90 days after (plus any Booster Period), the effective date of the registration statement for such offering (or such lesser period as the managing underwriters may require or permit), except for such Equity Securities to be included in such offering; provided that all of the Company’s executive officers and all of the members of the Company’s Board (other than the Series B Directors or Investor Directors, as each term is defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) are restricted in the same manner and for the same duration; and provided further that the obligations set forth in this Section 2.11 shall not apply to any Holder who was substantially limited in the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder could sell in the offering pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or Section 2.3(a)(ii) and did not otherwise sell Registrable Securities in such offering.

SECTION 2.12. No Inconsistent Agreements; No Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents and warrants that it is not a party to a Contract which conflicts with or limits or prohibits the exercise of the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this ARTICLE II. Each Holder agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and any such underwriter, it will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the SEC.

SECTION 2.13. Termination of Registration Rights. The rights of any Holder under this ARTICLE II shall terminate (other than Section 2.6, Section 2.8 and Section 2.13) at such time as (a) such Holder ceases to hold any Registrable Securities or (b) either (i) the Company is no longer required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (ii) a Form 15 (or any successor form) has been filed under the Exchange Act with respect to the Common Stock, unless, in the case of clause (b), such situation or filing is due to the occurrence of any merger, consolidation or other transaction upon consummation of which the issuer of the Common Stock is an entity other than the Company, in which event such rights of the Holders shall not terminate at such time pursuant to such clause (b) and this Agreement shall be assumed by the Survivor as provided in Section 3.2.

ARTICLE III

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 3.1. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein (and except as provided in the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement), all expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses.

SECTION 3.2. Successors and Assigns; Assignment. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors and

-17-

administrators of the parties hereto.

SECTION 3.3. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as specifically provided in Section 2.8 (with respect to which the Indemnified Parties named therein shall be express, intended third party beneficiaries of such provision), this Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto or otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto.

SECTION 3.7. Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on an Holder’s part of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. When reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or a Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, table of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to

Each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Dispute and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Dispute in any such court and that any such Dispute which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such Dispute may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 3.8 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 3.11. No Special Damages. The parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and that, in the event of breach by any party, damages would not be an adequate remedy and each of the other parties shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity; and the parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief; provided, however, that no Holder shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief unless such Holder together with other Holders that collectively hold at least 40% of the aggregate Registrable Securities then held by the Holders join in the action

-20-

seeking similar such specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief, as the case may be, on their own behalf. Each party agrees that there shall be no special, exemplary, punitive or multiple damages connected with or resulting from any breach of this Agreement, or actions undertaken in connection with or related hereto, including any such damages which are based upon breach of contract, tort, breach of warranty, strict liability, statute, operation of law or any other theory of recovery, except to the extent such damages are actually paid by a party hereunder to a third party, and hereby waives any rights to claim such damages. For purposes of clarity, the foregoing does not exclude consequential, indirect or incidental damages.

SECTION 3.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
