BayStar shall not (i) in any manner acquire, agree to acquire or make any proposal to acquire, directly or indirectly, any securities or property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) except at the express written request of the Company, propose to enter into, directly or indirectly, any merger or business combination involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or to purchase, directly or indirectly, a material portion of the assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) make, or in any way participate in, directly or indirectly, any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in Regulation 14A and 14C (the proxy rules) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) to vote, or seek to advise or influence any person with respect to the voting of, any voting securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (v) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the Company, (vi) disclose any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent with the foregoing or (vii) advise, assist or encourage any other persons in connection with any of the foregoing. BayStar also agrees not to take any action which might require the Company to make a public announcement regarding the possibility of a business combination or merger.

(e) Securities Transfer Matters.

(i) BayStar understands that (A) the sale or resale of the Repurchase Shares have not been and, except as provided in Section 4(f) are not being, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and the Repurchase Shares may not be offered, sold or transferred, subject and in addition to the provisions Section 4(c) of this Agreement, unless (x) the offer, sale or transfer is made pursuant to and as set forth in an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Repurchase Shares; or (y) BayStar shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the Repurchase Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; or (z) the offer, sale or transfer is made under and in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (B) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Repurchase Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, except as set forth in Section 4(f).

(ii) BayStar understands that until such time as the Repurchase Shares have been registered under the Securities Act (including registration pursuant to Rule 415 thereunder) as contemplated in Section 4(f) or otherwise may be sold by BayStar under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the certificates for the Repurchase Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state of the United States or in any other jurisdiction. The securities

represented hereby may not be offered, sold or transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement for the securities under applicable securities laws unless offered, sold or transferred pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of those laws.

The sale, assignment, gift, bequest, transfer, distribution, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance or disposition of the shares represented by this certificate is restricted by and may be made only in accordance with the terms of an agreement between the Company and the original holder of the shares represented by the certificate, a copy of which may be obtained at the issuer’s principal office.

The Company shall, immediately prior to a registration statement covering the Repurchase Shares (including, without limitation, the Registration Statement defined in Section 4(f) below) being declared effective, deliver to its transfer agent instructions, and any opinion letter of counsel that may be required by the transfer agent in this regard, that at any time such Registration Statement is effective, the transfer agent shall issue, in connection with the issuance of the Repurchase Shares, certificates representing such Repurchase Shares without the restrictive legend above, provided such Repurchase Shares are to be sold pursuant to the prospectus contained in such registration statement. Upon receipt of such opinion if required, the Company shall cause the transfer agent to confirm, for the benefit of the holders, that no further opinion of counsel is required at the time of transfer in order to issue such shares without such restrictive legend.

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Repurchase Shares upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) the sale of such Repurchase Shares is registered under the Securities Act (including registration pursuant to Rule 416 thereunder); (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such security may be made without registration under the Securities Act; or (iii) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Repurchase Shares can be sold under Rule 144. In the event the above legend is removed from any Repurchase Shares and thereafter the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering such Repurchase Shares is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance written notice to BayStar, the Company may require that the above legend be placed on any such Repurchase Shares that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or under Rule 144 and BayStar shall cooperate in the replacement of such legend. Such legend shall thereafter be removed when such Repurchase Shares may again be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or under Rule 144.

(f) Registration. The Company shall file as soon reasonably practicable with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of the Repurchase Shares (and all shares issuable thereon in connection with any stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations, consolidations or other similar transactions) for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement required hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Repurchase Shares on a Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on a Form S-1 or another appropriate form). The Company shall pay all costs and expenses related to such registration of the Repurchase Shares. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Registration Statement to become or be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable following its initial filing with the SEC and (ii) keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until all Repurchase Shares covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company pursuant to a written opinion to such effect addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to register

and qualify the Repurchase Shares covered by the Registration Statement under applicable state “Blue Sky” laws of such jurisdictions as are reasonably required by BayStar by written notice to the Company.

(g) Indemnification for Third-Party Liabilities. In the event any Repurchase Shares are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

(A) To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) BayStar, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, members, employees and agents of BayStar and each person, if any, who controls BayStar within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each person and entity referenced in (i) and (ii) above, a “BayStar Indemnified Person”), against any joint or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses that may be incurred by the BayStar Indemnified Person in connection with or resulting from any law suits, actions, proceedings, inquiries or investigations (whether commenced or threatened) by a third-party (including any governmental authority or self-regulatory organization) (collectively, “Indemnified Third-Party Actions or Claims”) insofar as such Indemnified Third-Party Actions or Claims arise out of or are based upon: (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (y) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used for the Repurchase Shares prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus used for the Repurchase Shares (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the Securities and Exchange Commission) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (z) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other law (including, without limitation, any state securities law), rule or regulation relating to the offer or sale of the Repurchase Shares (the matters in the foregoing clauses (x) through (z), collectively, “Violations”). Subject to the restrictions set forth in Subsection (C) below with respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company shall reimburse each BayStar Indemnified Person, promptly as any expenses in connection with any Indemnified Third-Party Action or Claim are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by the BayStar Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any Indemnified Third-Party Action or Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 4(g): (u) shall not apply to a Indemnified Third-Party Action or Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by BayStar or such BayStar Indemnified Person expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (v) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Indemnified Third-Party Action or Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be

unreasonably withheld; and (w) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any BayStar Indemnified Person if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company, and the BayStar Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a Violation and such BayStar Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the BayStar Indemnified Person.

(B) In connection with any Registration Statement in which Repurchase Shares held by BayStar are included, (i) BayStar shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth in Subsection (A), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, its employees and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who controls such stockholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each of the foregoing persons or entities, a “Company Indemnified Person”), against any Indemnified Third-Party Actions or Claims to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Third-Party Actions or Claims arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by BayStar expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and (ii) subject to the restrictions set forth in Subsection (C) below, BayStar shall reimburse the Company Indemnified Persons, promptly as any expenses in connection with any Indemnified Third-Party Action or Claim are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Indemnified Third-Party Action or Claim; provided, however, that the indemnification obligations contained in this Subsection (B) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Indemnified Third-Party Action or Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of BayStar, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, BayStar shall be liable under this Subsection (B) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds actually received by BayStar as a result of the sale of Repurchase Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Indemnified Person.

(C) Promptly after receipt by any party entitled to indemnification under this Section 4(g) of notice of the commencement of any Indemnified Third-Party Action or Claim, such indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other

indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the indemnified party; provided, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume such defense and an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnified party, the representation by such counsel of the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and any such indemnified party reasonably determines that there may be legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the indemnified parties, and such legal counsel shall be selected by BayStar (if the parties entitled to indemnification hereunder are BayStar Indemnified Persons) or by the Company (if the parties entitled to indemnification hereunder are Company Indemnified Persons). The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 4(g), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 4(g) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.

(D) To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party shall make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under this Section 4(g) to the fullest extent permitted by law as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, with respect to the Violation giving rise to the applicable Indemnified Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that (a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under this Section 4(g), (b) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution, and (c) contribution (together with any indemnification or other obligations under this Section 4(g)) by BayStar shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by BayStar from the sale of Repurchase Shares.

(h) Press Release; Publicity. The Company and BayStar shall jointly prepare and issue a joint press release (the “Press Release”) regarding the transactions contemplated hereby on the next business day following the date hereof. The Press Release shall be in a form that is mutually acceptable to the Company and BayStar. The Company and BayStar will keep, and will cause their respective representatives and agents to keep, the facts and terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the General Release confidential except to the extent such information (i) is publicly disclosed in the Press Release or upon advice of counsel is required to be disclosed in any periodic or current report that the Company files with the SEC, (ii) has been made public other than by acts by the disclosing party or

such party’s representatives and agents in breach of the provisions of this Section 4(h), (iii) is disclosed to and discussed with the parties’ respective legal counsel and accountants or tax advisors, provided such persons have agreed to keep all such information confidential and not disclose such information to any other person or entity or (iv) is disclosed as necessary for any governmental taxing authority or as otherwise required by law or regulation (for this purpose, including the rules and regulations of, and the Company’s listing agreement with, Nasdaq) or pursuant to court order or other proper legal or regulatory process (for this purpose, including processes of Nasdaq or the NASD). The parties agree to inform each other or the other party’s legal counsel immediately and in writing in the event any subpoena, notice or other process is served upon or otherwise received by any of them attempting to obtain any such information that otherwise would be prohibited from disclosure pursuant to this Section 4(h).

(i) Nondisparagement. BayStar agrees not to disparage or defame the Company, its products, services, business operations, litigation, practices and strategy, stockholders, directors, executive officers, employees, management or agents. The Company agrees not to disparage or defame BayStar or its partners, managers, executive officers, agents or business operations, practices and strategy; provided, however, BayStar’s obligation not to disparage or defame the Company as set forth above shall be limited to the actions or comments of BayStar’s general partners, the members of BayStar’s general partners and BayStar’s managers, executive officers, attorneys, advisors, consultants and representatives, and the Company’s obligation not to disparage or defame BayStar as set forth above shall be limited to the actions or comments of the Company’s executive officers, directors, attorneys, advisors, consultants, representatives and The Canopy Group, Inc.

(j) Covenant Not to Xxx. Each party on behalf of itself and each of its respective partners, officers, directors, advisors, consultants, attorneys and representatives hereby agrees that they will not make, assert, or maintain any claim, demand, action, suit, or proceeding against the other party prior to the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, except for material breaches of this Agreement.
