Section 2.01. Registration.

(i) Prior to the Lockup Termination Date, the Company shall (A) file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement useable for the resale of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act from and after the Lockup Termination Date, in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by Holder, (B) amend an existing Automatic Shelf Registration Statement so that it is useable for such resales or (C) file a Prospectus supplement that shall be deemed to be part of an existing Automatic Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 430B under the Securities Act that is useable for such resales. Such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus shall contain any intended method of distribution of the Registrable Securities specified in writing by Holder. Until the earlier of (x) such time as all Registrable Securities cease to be Registrable Securities or (y) the Company is no longer eligible to maintain an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall keep current and effective an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement (or any successor Registration Statement filed with respect to the Registrable Securities) and file such supplements or amendments to such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary or appropriate in order to keep such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and useable for the resale of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act. In the event that the Company is no longer eligible to maintain an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall provide written notice to Holder of such ineligibility within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the Company becomes aware of such ineligibility. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to, on or prior to the Lockup Termination Date, be qualified for trading on any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted.

(ii) Takedown Offerings. Following the Lockup Termination Date, subject to the restrictions in Section 4.20 of the Merger Agreement, Holder shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time when an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is effective, to effect a Takedown Offering that does not constitute an Underwritten Takedown Offering of any or all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement.

(iii) Underwritten Takedown Offerings. Following the Lockup Termination Date, upon the receipt by the Company of a written request from Holder (an “Underwritten Takedown Request”) that it desires to sell at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then held by Holder in an Underwritten Offering (an “Underwritten Takedown Offering”), the Company shall cooperate with Holder and any Underwriter in effecting an Underwritten Takedown Offering pursuant to an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable following receipt of such Underwritten Takedown Request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two (2) Underwritten Takedown Offerings pursuant to this Agreement; provided, further, that Holder must be in compliance with Section 4.20 of the Merger Agreement. Any Underwritten Takedown Request shall specify the number of

-5-

Registrable Securities proposed to be offered for sale. Holder may change the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be offered in an Underwritten Takedown Offering at any time prior to commencement of such offering so long as such change would not materially adversely affect the timing or success of the Underwritten Takedown Offering; provided, further, that the Company shall be entitled to reasonably delay an Underwritten Takedown Offering to the extent resulting from such change.

(b) Demand Registration. (i) If at any time following the Lockup Termination Date and prior to the Company effecting an Underwritten Takedown Offering, the Company is no longer eligible to use an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of a written request from Holder to register the resale of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then held by Holder under the Securities Act (a “Demand Notice”), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to register, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all Registrable Securities that have been requested to be registered in the Demand Notice and file a Registration Statement, on an appropriate form which the Company is then eligible to use, to register the resale of such Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement shall (if specified in the Demand Notice) contemplate the ability of Holder to effect an Underwritten Offering (such registration, a “Demand Registration”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than one (1) Demand Registration pursuant to this Agreement; provided, further, that Holder must be in compliance with Section 4.20 of the Merger Agreement. The Demand Notice shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be offered for sale and the intended method of distribution thereof. Holder may change the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be offered pursuant to the Demand Registration at any time prior to commencement of the offering so long as such change would not materially adversely affect the timing or success of the offering; provided, that the Company shall be entitled to reasonably delay the Demand Registration to the extent resulting from such change. Subject to Section 2.03 and with the written consent of Holder (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Company may include in any registration effected pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or 2.01(b) any securities for its own account or for the account of holders of shares of Common Stock (other than Holder).

(ii) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) cause any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i) to be declared effective (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof with the SEC and (B) keep such Registration Statement current and effective for a period of not less than 90 days, and in any event for so long as necessary for the completion of the resale of Registrable Securities registered thereon. The Company further agrees to supplement or make amendments to each such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period referred to in clause (B) above, including (1) to respond to the comments of the SEC, if any, (2) as may be required by the registration form utilized by the Company for such Registration Statement or by the instructions to such registration form, (3) as may be required by the Securities Act, (4) as may be required in connection with a Takedown Offering or (5) as may be reasonably requested in writing by Holder or any Underwriter and reasonably acceptable to the Company.

-6-

(c) Selection of Underwriters. In the event an offering of Registrable Securities (including in connection with any Underwritten Takedown Offering) under this Section 2.01 involves one or more Underwriters, Holder, on the one hand, and, the Company, on the other hand, shall each be entitled to select one internationally recognized investment banking firm to serve as a lead Underwriter, with each of the two such lead Underwriters to be treated substantially the same in all respects (including underwriting discounts, fees and commissions) in respect of an Underwritten Takedown Offering or Demand Registration, and Holder shall have the right to select additional Underwriters in connection with the offering; provided that each such Underwriter must be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall reasonably assist such lead Underwriter or Underwriters in their efforts to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement, including by taking the actions set forth in Section 2.04, and, if reasonably requested in connection with any Underwritten Takedown Offering or Demand Registration that is an Underwritten Offering in which Holder intends to sell Registerable Securities shall make senior executives with appropriate authority and expertise reasonably available by electronic means for presentations during the marketing period for such Registerable Securities, in each case in connection with a maximum of two (2) Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Agreement (with an understanding that (i) such Underwritten Offering shall be scheduled in a collaborative manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of business of the Company; (ii) such Underwritten Offering shall not be initiated less than five (5) Business Days following the completion of an underwritten offering pursuant to the Existing Registration Rights Agreement and (iii) in any case, any delay of in excess of five (5) Business Days may only be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.06).

(d) Withdrawal. Holder shall be permitted to rescind a Demand Notice or an Underwritten Takedown Request; provided that, should Holder rescind such Demand Notice or an Underwritten Takedown Request, Holder shall promptly reimburse the Company for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such Demand Notice or an Underwritten Takedown Request, and following such reimbursement such Demand Registration or Underwritten Takedown Offering, as applicable, shall not count as a Demand Registration or Underwritten Takedown Offering for purposes of determining when future Demand Registrations or Underwritten Takedown Offerings may be requested by Holder pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(iii) or Section 2.01(b).

Section 2.02. Piggyback Registration. If at any time after the Lockup Termination Date and regardless of whether there has been a Demand Registration or an effected Underwritten Takedown Request, the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act (other than a registration (i) pursuant to Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan) or consummate a Takedown Offering, in each case, with respect to an offering of Common Stock for (a) the Company’s own account or (b) the account of any holder of Common Stock (other than Holder), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing or Takedown Offering to Holder as soon as practicable (but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days before the anticipated filing date of the applicable Registration Statement). Upon the receipt by the Company of a written

-7-

request from Holder within five (5) Business Days after delivery of any such notice by the Company to include Registrable Securities in such registration or Takedown Offering, as applicable, which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration or Takedown Offering, as applicable), the Company shall, subject to Section 2.03 of this Agreement, Section 4.20 of the Merger Agreement and the following proviso, include all such requested Registrable Securities in such registration or Takedown Offering, as applicable, on the same terms and conditions as applicable to the Company’s or such holder’s shares of Common Stock (a “Piggyback Registration”); provided, however, that if at any time after giving written notice of such proposed filing or Takedown Offering, as applicable, and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, or the consummation of such Takedown Offering, as applicable, the Company determines for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration or disposition, as applicable, of the Common Stock, then the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to Holder and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, or dispose of any Registrable Securities in connection with such Takedown Offering, as applicable. Holder shall, subject to Section 2.04(b), enter into a customary underwriting agreement with Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the Company with respect to any Registrable Securities sold by Holder pursuant to a Piggyback Registration under this Section 2.02. No registration of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to a request under this Section 2.02 shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 2.01 or this Section 2.02.

Section 2.03. Reduction of Size of Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the lead Underwriter(s) of an Underwritten Offering advises the Company in writing that, in its reasonable opinion the number of shares of Common Stock (including any Registrable Securities) that the Company, Holder and any other Persons intend to include in the relevant Registration Statement or dispose of pursuant to such Underwritten Offering exceeds the number that can reasonably be expected to be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the success of the offering (including the price, timing or distribution of the securities to be sold in such offering), then the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the Registration Statement, or disposed of pursuant to such Underwritten Offering, as applicable, for the account of the Company, Holder and any other Persons shall be reduced to the extent necessary to reduce the total number of securities to be included in any such Registration Statement or disposed of pursuant to such Underwritten Offering, as applicable, to the number recommended by such lead Underwriter(s); provided, however, that such reduction shall be made in accordance with the following priorities:

(x) except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law and subject to entry into a customary confidentiality agreement or arrangement, make available, after reasonable advance notice, for inspection by Holder any Underwriter participating in any disposition of such Registrable Securities and any Representative for Holder and/or such Underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), during business hours at the offices where such information is normally kept, any financial and other records and corporate documents of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to conduct reasonable and customary due diligence with respect to the Company and the related Registration Statement and Prospectus and request the Representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector; provided, however, that Records and information obtained hereunder shall be used by such Inspectors only for purposes of conducting such due diligence;

(xii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to each Underwriter and Holder a 10b-5 statement and legal opinion from the Company’s external counsel in customary form and covering such matters as are customarily covered by 10b-5 statements and legal opinions delivered to Underwriters in Underwritten Offerings as such Underwriter and/or Holder may reasonably request; provided, however, that if the Company fails to obtain such statement or opinion and the relevant offering is abandoned, then such Demand Registration or Underwritten Takedown Offering shall not count as a Demand Registration or Underwritten Takedown Offering, as applicable, for

-12-

purposes of determining when future Demand Registrations or Underwritten Takedown Offerings may be requested by Holder pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(iii) or Section 2.01(b);

(xiii) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to its security holders, within the required time period, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months, beginning with the first fiscal quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such Registrable Securities (as the term “effective date” is defined in Rule 158(c) under the Securities Act), which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder or any successor provisions thereto;

(xiv) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

(xv) cooperate with Holder and the lead Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of book-entry shares representing the Registrable Securities to be sold under the Registration Statement in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company not bearing any restrictive legends and not subject to any stop transfer order with any transfer agent, and cause such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names as the lead Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, may request in writing or, if not an Underwritten Offering, in accordance with the instructions of Holder, in each case in connection with the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities;

(xvi) not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities;

(xvii) furnish to Holder and each Underwriter, if any, without charge, as many conformed copies as Holder or such Underwriter(s) may reasonably request of the applicable Registration Statement and any amendment or post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference);

(xviii) make representations and warranties to Holder and the Underwriters or agents, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers in secondary offerings;

(xix) use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Holder and each Underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA;

(xx) use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be listed or quoted on the NYSE or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on the NYSE, then on such other securities exchange or national quotation system on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted; and

-13-

(xxi) take all such other commercially reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) In connection with the Registration Statement relating to such Registrable Securities covering an Underwritten Offering (including any Underwritten Takedown Offering), the Company and Holder agree to enter into a written agreement with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected in the manner herein provided in such form and containing such provisions as are customary in the securities business for such an arrangement. In the event an Underwritten Offering is not consummated because any condition to the obligations under any related written agreement with such Underwriters is not met or waived in connection with a Demand Registration or Underwritten Takedown Offering, and such failure to be met or waived is not attributable to the fault of Holder, such Demand Registration or Underwritten Takedown Offering, as applicable, shall not count as a Demand Registration or Underwritten Takedown Offering for purposes of determining when future Demand Registrations or Underwritten Takedown Offerings may be requested by Holder pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(iii) or Section 2.01(b).

Section 2.05. Conditions to Offerings (a) The obligations of the Company to take the actions contemplated by Section 2.01, Section 2.02 and Section 2.04 with respect to an offering of Registrable Securities (including any Underwritten Takedown Offering) shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) The Company may require Holder to furnish to the Company such information regarding Holder, the Registrable Securities or the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or under state securities or “blue sky” laws; and

(ii) in any Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.01 or Section 2.02 hereof, Holder, together with the Company and any other holders of the Company’s securities proposing to include securities in any Underwritten Offering, shall enter into a customary underwriting agreement in accordance with Section 2.04(b) with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting, as well as such other documents customary in similar offerings.

(b) Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.04(a)(iv) or Section 2.04(a)(vi) or a condition described in Section 2.06(a), Holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering the sale of such Registrable Securities or Takedown Offering until Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.04(a)(iv) or notice from the Company of the termination of the stop order or Suspension Period.

(c) Holder agrees that to the extent timely notified in writing by the Underwriters managing any Underwritten Offering by the Company of shares of Common Stock, in which Holder is participating, Holder shall agree not to Transfer any Shares without the prior

-14-

written consent of the Company or such Underwriters during the period beginning seven (7) days before and ending ninety (90) days (or, in either case, such lesser period as may be permitted for Holder by the Company or such managing Underwriter or Underwriters) (the “Underwriter’s Lockup”) after the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Underwritten Offering. The Underwriter’s Lockup shall provide that if all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock of any other Person who entered into a substantially similar agreement with the Underwriters in connection with such Underwritten Offering are released from such agreement, then the same percentage of the shares of Common Stock of Holder shall be released from the Underwriter’s Lockup.

Section 2.06. Suspension Period.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing prior written notice to Holder, to require Holder to suspend the use of the Prospectus included in any Automatic Shelf Registration Statement for resales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or Section 2.02 or to postpone the filing or suspend the use of any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.02 for a reasonable period of time not to exceed forty-five (45) days in succession, ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any one (1) year period or two (2) times in any one (1) year period (a “Suspension Period”) if (A) the chief executive officer or chief financial officer or the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that effecting the registration (or permitting sales under an effective registration) would materially adversely affect an offering of securities of the Company, (B) the Company is in possession of material non-public information and the chief executive officer or chief financial officer or the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that the disclosure of such information during the period specified in such notice would be materially detrimental to the Company or (C) the Company shall determine that it is required to disclose in any such Registration Statement a contemplated financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar material transaction or other material event or circumstance affecting the Company or its securities, and the chief executive officer or chief financial officer or the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that the disclosure of such information at such time would be materially detrimental to the Company or the holders of its Common Stock. In the event of any such suspension pursuant to this Section 2.06(a), the Company shall furnish to Holder a written notice setting forth the estimated length of the anticipated delay. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to limit the length of any Suspension Period and shall notify Holder promptly upon the termination of the Suspension Period. Notice of the commencement of a Suspension Period shall simply specify such commencement and shall not contain any facts or circumstances relating to such commencement or any material non-public information. The Company shall respond promptly to reasonable inquiry by Holder as to such facts and circumstances. Upon notice by the Company to Holder of any determination to commence a Suspension Period, Holder shall keep the fact of any such Suspension Period strictly confidential, and, during any Suspension Period, promptly halt any offer, sale, trading or Transfer of any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Prospectus (and direct any other Person to promptly halt any offer, sale, trading or Transfer of any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Prospectus on behalf of Holder) for the duration of the Suspension Period until (x) the Suspension Period has expired or, if earlier (y) the Company has provided notice that the Suspension Period has been terminated. For the avoidance of doubt,

-15-

nothing contained in this Section 2.06 shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 2.01.

(b) After the expiration of any Suspension Period and without any further request from Holder, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a Registration Statement or post-effective amendment or supplement to the applicable Automatic Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, if necessary so that the Prospectus shall not include a material misstatement or omission or be not effective and useable for resale of Registrable Securities.

Section 2.07. Registration Expenses. Subject to Section 2.01(d), all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in effecting any registration pursuant to this Article II, including all fees and expenses incurred in complying with securities or “blue sky” laws, printing expenses, any registration or filing fees payable under any federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with any listing or quoting of the securities to be registered on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, fees of FINRA, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses of the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm, shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that Holder shall bear and pay (i) any underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and related fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any Underwriters as may be agreed upon by Holder and the Underwriters (it being understood that no such discounts, fees or expenses (including the fees and expenses of Underwriters’ counsel) shall be borne or paid by the Company) and (ii) transfer taxes, fees and disbursements of counsel for Holder and any expenses required by applicable Law to be paid by a selling stockholder, in each case with respect to Registrable Securities offered for its account pursuant to any Registration Statement (including in connection with any Underwritten Takedown Offering).

Section 2.08. Rules 144 and 144A and Regulation S. The Company covenants that it shall use reasonable best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and it shall use reasonable best efforts to take any such further action as reasonably requested, all to the extent required from time to time to enable Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the reasonable request of Holder, the Company shall deliver to Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

Section 2.09. Indemnification; Contribution. (a) In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities or Takedown Offering pursuant to Section 2.01 or Section 2.02, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Holder, its Affiliates, directors, officers and shareholders, employees and each Person who controls Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Losses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any part of any

-16-

Registration Statement or any Prospectus, including any amendment or supplement thereto, used in connection with the Registrable Securities, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Person for any such Loss arising out of or with respect to sales pursuant to the Registration Statement or Prospectus prior to the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the date on which the Merger is consummated, based upon information in the Registration Statement or Prospectus that was represented by Holder, Omaha Financial Holdings, Inc. or Mutual of Omaha Bank as true and correct in the Merger Agreement, and with respect to which the Company would not have been reasonably expected to discover the failure of such information to be true and correct prior to the date of such sales; provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Person for any such Loss arising out of or based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made or incorporated by reference in any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein.

(b) In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities or Takedown Offering pursuant to Section 2.01 or Section 2.02, Holder shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers, its employees and each Person, if any, who controls the Company (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to Holder, but only with respect to information arising out of or based upon information furnished in writing by Holder or on Holder’s behalf (in each case, in its capacity as Holder), in either case for use in any Registration Statement or any Prospectus, including any amendment or supplement thereto.

(c) In case any claim, action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation) is instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or Section 2.09(b), such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding; provided, however, that the failure or delay to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement except to the extent that it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced by such failure or delay. In any such claim, action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of the claim, action or proceeding within 15 Business Days following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party or (iii) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are both actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action and the Indemnified Party has been advised

-17-

by counsel that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding or related claims, actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of the retention of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if such claim, action or proceeding is settled with such consent or if there has been a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is seeking indemnity hereunder, unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with such proceeding, (ii) no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates can be made as the result of such action and (iii) the sole relief (if any) provided is monetary damages that are reimbursed in full by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.09 from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder or is insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to in this Section 2.09, 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 Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable Law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative fault referred to in clause (i) but also the relative benefit of the Company, on the one hand, and Holder, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, 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 taken 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, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.09(c), any reasonable legal or other out-of-pocket fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.

(e) The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 2.09(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in Section 2.09(d). No Person guilty of “fraudulent misrepresentation” (within the meaning of Section

-18-

11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall Holder be obligated to provide indemnification or contribution in excess of the net aggregate proceeds received from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus.

Section 4.05. Interpretation.

(a) This Agreement is the product of joint negotiation and drafting by the parties, having the assistance of counsel and other advisers. The parties intend that this Agreement not be construed more strictly with regard to one party than with regard to the other, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of or Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

The captions herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof. The words “include”, “includes” or “including” are to be deemed followed by the words “without limitation”. Any singular term in this Agreement will be deemed to include the plural, and any plural term the singular. All pronouns and variations of pronouns will be deemed to refer to the feminine, masculine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the Person referred to may require. “Writing,” “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form.

assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall be null and void.

Each party certifies and acknowledges that: (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver; (ii) each party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver; (iii) each party makes this waiver voluntarily; and (iv) each party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 4.08.

(b) Each party agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any federal court within the State of Delaware), and, solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such court, (iii) waives any objection that such court is an inconvenient forum or does not have jurisdiction over any party and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 4.02. Each party hereto further hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement in such court, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such

court has been brought in an inconvenient forum or that such party is not subject to personal jurisdiction in such court.

Section 4.10. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that, if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not to be performed as required by their specific terms or were to be otherwise breached, irreparable damage will occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that such parties shall be entitled, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches, and to specific performance of the terms, of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy at Law or equity.

Section 4.11. Effectiveness; Termination.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to any termination hereof.

Section 4.12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Merger Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties hereto, or any of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
