(iii) (A) propose to any Person or take substantial steps to effect or enter into any business combination, restructuring, recapitalization or the sale or other disposition outside the ordinary course of business of any material asset of Parent or other

(v) make or cause Parent to make a public announcement regarding any intention of the Stockholder to take an action which would be prohibited by any of the foregoing.

provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict the ability of the Stockholder Designees from exercising their fiduciary duties as directors.

(b) Ownership Change Determination Procedures for Section 382 Transfers. If this Section 4.2(b) applies to a Section 382 Transfer by reason Section 4.2(a)(ii), then the Stockholder shall first deliver to Parent a Section 382 Notice of the Stockholder’s intent to effect a Section 382 Transfer. Within five (5) Business Days following the date of delivery of a Section 382 Notice, Parent shall deliver to the Stockholder a determination (including supporting analysis) as to whether, in its reasonable judgment based upon advice of outside tax counsel and taking into account (A) Parent’s expected rate of issuance of Common Stock and other equity-based compensation to its directors, officers, employees and consultants, which shall be based on historical practices, and (B) other transactions that, in the good faith belief of the Board of Directors of Parent, are reasonably likely to occur, such Section 382 Transfer would be more likely than not to cause an “ownership change” of Parent for purposes of Section 382 of the Code (such an affirmative determination of an “ownership change” by Parent, an “Ownership Change Determination”).

(i) If Parent does deliver an Ownership Change Determination to the Stockholder within five (5) Business Days after delivery of a Section 382 Notice, then the Stockholder shall notify Parent within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Ownership Change Determination as to whether or not the Stockholder agrees with the Ownership Change Determination; provided, however, that the Stockholder shall agree with the Ownership Change Determination to the extent that it is determined on a basis consistent with Parent’s past practice and is consistent with a more likely than not determination of applicable law. If the Stockholder does not agree with the Ownership Change Determination, then Parent and the Stockholder shall work in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the Ownership Change Determination. If Parent and the Stockholder are unable to resolve any such dispute within five (5) Business Days of the Stockholder’s delivery of notice to Parent regarding its disagreement with the Ownership Change Determination, such dispute shall be resolved promptly by the Dispute Firm, the costs of which shall be borne equally by Parent and the Stockholder. The Dispute Firm shall be instructed to make the Ownership Change Determination on a basis consistent with Parent’s past practice and a more likely than not determination of applicable law. The Stockholder shall not effect any Section 382 Transfer to which this Section 4.2(b)

- 13 -

applies if either the Stockholder or the Dispute Firm agrees with Parent’s Ownership Change Determination.

(ii) If Parent does not deliver a notice of an Ownership Change Determination to the Stockholder within five (5) Business Days after delivery of a Section 382 Notice, then the Stockholder may effect such Section 382 Transfer within 30 calendar days following such delivery of such Section 382 Notice provided that such Section 382 Transfer is otherwise in compliance with Section 4.2(a)(ii).

(i) Prior to the beginning of the first calendar quarter after the Closing Date, Parent shall determine the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could be acquired by the Stockholder (other than from Parent) and would not be more likely than not to cause an “ownership change” of Parent for purposes of Section 382 of the Code (the amount of such shares for any given quarter as agreed to by the Stockholder or the Dispute Firm, the “Buffer Shares”). During the Section 382 Limitation Period, on a quarterly basis (or more frequently as determined by Parent), Parent shall update the number of Buffer Shares, ignoring, for this purpose, issuances of Parent’s Equity Interests by Parent after the Closing Date (to the extent such issuances would have otherwise reduced the number of Buffer Shares) and purchases by the Stockholder of Parent’s Equity Interests after the Closing Date. Parent shall provide notice to the Stockholder no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the start of each quarter of (i) the proposed number of Buffer Shares for such quarter (the “Proposed Buffer Shares Notice”) and (ii) copies of any documents used in their Section 382 analysis. The Stockholder shall notify Parent within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Proposed Buffer Shares Notice as to whether or not the Stockholder agrees with the Proposed Buffer Shares Notice; provided, however, that the Stockholder shall agree with the Proposed Buffer Shares Notice to the extent that it is determined on a basis consistent with Parent’s past practice and is consistent with a more likely than not determination of applicable law. If the Stockholder does not agree with the Proposed Buffer Shares Notice, then the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures in Section 4.2(c)(ii). Parent agrees that during the applicable quarter (or shorter period) of the Section 382 Limitation Period the Stockholder may acquire a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Buffer Shares for such quarter (or shorter period) multiplied by the Closing Share Percentage (the “Stockholder Buffer Shares”), provided that Stockholder gives notice to Parent within five (5) Business Days of its intention to acquire any amount of such Stockholder Buffer Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stockholder has Transferred any shares of Common Stock other than to Affiliates, then this Section 4.2(c) shall have no further force or effect and the Buffer Shares and Stockholder Buffer Shares shall be deemed to be zero. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and for the avoidance of doubt, the number of Stockholder Buffer Shares that may be acquired by Stockholder at any time shall be reduced by the cumulative number of Stockholder Buffer Shares previously acquired by Stockholder.

(ii) If the Stockholder does not agree with the Proposed Buffer Share Notice then Parent and the Stockholder shall work in good faith to resolve any disputes

- 14 -

relating to the Proposed Buffer Share Notice. If Parent and the Stockholder are unable to resolve any such dispute within five (5) Business Days of the Stockholder’s delivery of notice to Parent regarding its disagreement with the Proposed Buffer Share Notice, such dispute shall be resolved promptly by the Dispute Firm, the costs of which shall be borne equally by Parent and the Stockholder. The Stockholder shall not effect any Share Acquisition to which this Section 4.2(c) applies until the Stockholder agrees with Parent’s Proposed Buffer Share Notice or any dispute regarding Parent’s Proposed Buffer Share Notice is resolved in the Stockholder’s favor.

(iii) In the event that the Stockholder desires to effect a Share Acquisition in excess of the Stockholder Buffer Shares, it may request that Parent grant it a waiver from this Agreement, or any applicable portion thereof, to make such Share Acquisition and Parent shall consider any such waiver request in good faith.

(d) Aggregate Section 382 Owner Shift Determination Procedures. If this Section 4.2(d) applies to a Share Acquisition by reason Section 4.2(a)(i)(B)(y)(IV), then the Stockholder shall first deliver to Parent a Section 382 Notice of the Stockholder’s intent to effect such Share Acquisition. Within five (5) Business Days following the date of delivery of a Section 382 Notice, Parent shall deliver to the Stockholder a determination (including supporting analysis) as to whether, in its reasonable judgment based upon advice of outside tax counsel, such Share Acquisition would be more likely than not to result in an increase in the Aggregate Section 382 Owner Shift (such an affirmative determination, an “Owner Shift Determination”).

(i) If Parent does deliver an Owner Shift Determination to the Stockholder within five (5) Business Days after delivery of a Section 382 Notice, then the Stockholder shall notify Parent within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Owner Shift Determination as to whether or not the Stockholder agrees with the Owner Shift Determination; provided, however, that the Stockholder shall agree with the Owner Shift Determination to the extent it is prepared on a basis consistent with Parent’s past practice and is consistent with a more likely than not determination of applicable law. If the Stockholder does not agree with the Owner Shift Determination, then Parent and the Stockholder shall work in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the Owner Shift Determination. If Parent and the Stockholder are unable to resolve any such dispute within five (5) Business Days of the Stockholder’s delivery of notice to Parent regarding its disagreement with the Owner Shift Determination, such dispute shall be resolved promptly by the Dispute Firm, the costs of which shall be borne equally by Parent and the Stockholder. The Dispute Firm shall be instructed to make the Owner Shift Determination on a basis consistent with Parent’s past practice and a more likely than not determination of applicable law. The Stockholder shall not effect any Share Acquisition to which this Section 4.2(d) applies if either the Stockholder or the Dispute Firm agrees with Parent’s Owner Shift Determination.

(ii) If Parent does not deliver a notice of an Owner Shift Determination to the Stockholder within five (5) Business Days after delivery of a Section 382 Notice, then the Stockholder may effect such Share Acquisition within 30 calendar days

- 15 -

following such delivery of such Section 382 Notice provided that such Share Acquisition is otherwise in compliance with Section 4.2(a)(i).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Transfers between Stockholder and any Affiliates that are Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte Ltd shall not be prohibited or subject to Section 4.2.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or prohibit Parent from taking any action that would result in an “ownership change” of Parent for purposes of Section 382 of the Code, provided, however, that during the Section 382 Limitation Period, Parent shall both obtain the approval of the Board of Directors and consult with the Stockholder prior to taking any such action unless, in Parent’s reasonable judgment, such action will not result in an “ownership change” of Parent for purposes of Section 382.

4.3. Transfer Restrictions. From and after the end of the Initial Lock-up Period and until the end of the Designation Period, the Stockholder shall not (i) sell, assign, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose or encumber (other than in open market transactions effected through a broker) (“Transfer”) any shares of Common Stock that it Beneficially Owns to any Person or Persons that it has actual knowledge, after due inquiry, is a Competitor, (ii) Transfer any shares of Common Stock in violation of Section 4.2(a)(ii) of this Agreement, or (iii) Transfer to any one Person any number of shares of Common Stock that would result in such Person Beneficially Owning immediately after such Transfer in excess of the aggregate of (x) the Closing Share Percentage and (y) 5.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock less one share of Common Stock, provided that in no circumstances may Stockholder Transfer more than the number of shares equal to the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock multiplied by the Closing Share Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder shall be permitted to tender any shares of Common Stock it Beneficially Owns pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer by a third party for shares of Common Stock that is open to all stockholders of Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.3, any Transfers between Stockholder and any Affiliates shall not be prohibited.

4.4. Termination of Certain Provisions. In the event that, pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Voting Agreement dated as of the date of this Agreement, between Parent and the Stockholder, the Stockholder is required to enter into a network security agreement that requires one or more of the individuals to be designated by the Stockholder, pursuant to this Agreement or Section 7.11 of the Plan of Amalgamation, to the Board of Directors to meet specified qualification criteria in order to serve as a member of the Board of Directors, then Sections 4.2(a)(ii), 4.2(b) and 4.3(ii) of this Agreement shall terminate and shall be of no further force or effect.

5. Registration of Shares.

5.1. Shelf Registration Statement. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date and in any event within forty-five (45) calendar days following the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare, file and use reasonable best efforts to have declared effective by SEC a shelf registration statement, relating to the offer and sale by the Holder(s) at any time and from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities

- 16 -

Act and in accordance with this Agreement, of all the Closing Shares and any other Registrable Securities then held by the Holder(s) (the “Initial Registration Statement”). Within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of a written request from the Initiating Holder, which request may be made by the Initiating Holder one time per calendar quarter, Parent shall prepare, file and use reasonable best efforts to have declared effective by the SEC an additional shelf registration statement, relating to the offer and sale by the Holder(s) at any time and from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act and in accordance with this Agreement, of any Registrable Securities acquired after the Closing Date; provided, that such securities were not acquired in violation of this Agreement (each a “Registration Statement” and, together with the Initial Registration Statement, the “Registration Statements”). If, at the time of filing of a Registration Statement, the Registration Statement is eligible to become effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(e) (or any successor rule) under the Securities Act, Parent shall file the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement pursuant to such rule. If the Registration Statement is not so eligible to become effective upon filing, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable (with such date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective referred to as the “Registration Effective Date”). Promptly (i) upon the filing thereof in the case of an automatic shelf or (ii) upon receipt of an order of the SEC declaring the Registration Statement effective, Parent shall deliver to the Holder(s) included in the Registration Statement a copy of such Registration Statement and any amendments thereto together with an opinion of counsel representing Parent for the purposes of such Registration, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder(s), addressed to the Holder(s), including, confirming that the Registration Statement is effective and that all of the Closing Shares and any other Registrable Securities have been duly registered and, subject to the transfer restrictions contained in Section 4 of this Agreement, are freely transferable and that all of the Closing Shares and any other Registrable Securities have been admitted for listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

5.2. Demand Rights.

(a) If Parent shall receive from an Initiating Holder a written notice (a “Demand Notice”) that the Initiating Holder intends to distribute, by means of an underwritten offering, any shares of Common Stock or any other Registrable Securities under an effective Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 5.1, Parent will cooperate with the Initiating Holder to consummate such offering and shall file a prospectus supplement with respect to the offering within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Demand Notice, subject to Section 5.5(d). The Demand Notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock or any other Registrable Securities to be offered by the Initiating Holder.

(b) In no event shall Parent be obligated to effect more than three (3) underwritten offerings pursuant to Demand Notices given pursuant to Section 5.2(a) (each, a “Demand”). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Initiating Holder will not be deemed to have made or utilized a Demand (x) if, as a result of the application of Section 5.2(a), the Initiating Holder was unable to sell at least 75% of the number of shares of Common Stock or any other Registrable Securities the Initiating Holder included in its Demand, or (y) if such Demand was withdrawn pursuant to Section 5.2(c) and, if applicable, the Initiating Holder has reimbursed Parent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Parent

- 17 -

in connection with such Demand. The Initiating Holder shall not be entitled to make a Demand pursuant to Section 5.2(a) unless the Initiating Holder is requesting the offering of shares of Common Stock or any other Registrable Securities with an aggregate estimated market value of at least US$50,000,000 as of the date of the Demand Notice.

(c) Withdrawal. The Initiating Holder may elect to withdraw a Demand pursuant to this Section 5.2 at any time, and the Parent shall cease its efforts to assist with such offering.

5.3. Piggyback Rights.

(a) In the event that Parent at any time proposes to conduct a registered public underwritten offering of shares of Common Stock for cash, whether or not for sale for its own account, subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.3(a), it shall at each such time give prompt written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) to each Holder of its intention to do so, which Piggyback Notice shall specify, to the extent then known, the number of shares of Common Stock to be offered; provided that if Parent has not yet determined the number of shares of Common Stock to be offered, the Piggyback Notice may specify a range of Share numbers that Parent is then contemplating and Parent shall undertake to inform the Holder(s) upon a final determination regarding the size of the offering, but the initial Piggyback Notice shall be deemed to constitute adequate notice for purposes of this Agreement. Upon the written request of a Holder made within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the initial Piggyback Notice by such Holder (which request shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock intended to be disposed of by such Holder), subject to the other provisions of this Section 5, Parent shall include in such offering all of the shares of Common Stock held by such Holder which Parent has been so requested to include. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.3, Parent shall not be required to include any shares of Common Stock held by a Holder in any offering pursuant to any Special Registration or any other form that would not be available for registration of the Holder’s shares of Common Stock.

(b) Determination Not to Conduct Offering. If at any time after giving such Piggyback Notice and prior to the filing of a final prospectus supplement in connection with such offering, Parent shall determine for any reason not to offer the securities originally intended to be included in such offering, Parent may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Holders and thereupon Parent shall be relieved of its obligation to include the Holders’ shares of Common Stock in the offering, without prejudice, however, to the right of an Initiating Holder immediately to request that such shares be offered in an underwritten offering under Section 5.2 to the extent permitted hereunder.

(c) Cutbacks in Parent Offering. If the offering referred to in the first sentence of Section 5.3(a) is to be an underwritten offering on behalf of Parent, and the lead underwriter or managing underwriter advises Parent in writing (with a copy to the Holder(s)) that, in such firm’s good faith view, the number of Other Securities and Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect upon the price, timing or distribution of the offering and sale of the Other Securities and Registrable Securities then contemplated, Parent shall include in such registration:

- 18 -

(i) first, all Parent Securities;

(ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration by the Holder(s), pro rata among the Holder(s) on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such Holder; and

(iii) third, any other securities eligible to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder.

(d) Cutbacks in Other Offerings. If the offering referred to in the first sentence of Section 5.3(a) is to be an underwritten offering other than on behalf of Parent, and the lead underwriter or managing underwriter advises the Holder(s) in writing (with a copy to Parent) that, in such firm’s good faith view, the number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect upon the price, timing or distribution of the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities and Other Securities then contemplated, Parent shall include in such registration:

(i) first, the Other Securities held by any holder thereof with a contractual right to include such Other Securities in such registration prior to any other Person;

(iii) third, any other securities eligible to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder.

5.4. Adjustment. If at any time a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a class shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or class of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares or other similar change in capitalization, then an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the number of such Holder’s Registrable Securities for all purposes under this Section 5.

5.5. Maintenance of Registration Statement and Prospectuses.

(a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep any Registration Statements to be filed pursuant to Section 5.1 and the prospectus contained therein (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Prospectuses” and each a “Prospectus”) continuously effective until the termination of the Registration Rights pursuant to Section 5.9. In the event any Registration Statement cannot be kept effective for such period, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC and have declared effective as promptly as practicable another registration statement on the same terms and conditions as such initial Registration Statement and such new registration statement shall be considered the applicable

- 19 -

Registration Statement for purposes hereof. Parent shall furnish to each Holder such number of copies of a Prospectus in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and an electronic copy of the Prospectus to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder.

(b) Parent shall advise the Holder(s) promptly in writing when any Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereto, has been declared effective by the SEC. Parent shall advise the Holder(s) in writing of the receipt by Parent of any stop order from the SEC suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and if at any time there shall be a stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly the withdrawal of such order. Parent shall advise the Holder(s) promptly in writing of the existence of any fact and the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in any Registration Statement or Prospectus untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in any Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading and in such event Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC, as soon as reasonably practicable, an amendment to such Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to such Prospectus or a Current Report on Form 8-K, as the case may be, so that, as so amended or supplemented, such Registration Statement and such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading. Upon receipt of such written advice, the Holder(s) shall discontinue and refrain from making any sales of Registrable Securities, until such time as Parent advises the Holder(s) that such Registration Statement or such Prospectus no longer contains an untrue statement or omission of a material fact.

(c) The Holder(s) shall furnish to Parent such information regarding such party and the distribution of the Registrable Securities as Parent may from time to time reasonably request in writing in order to comply with the Securities Act. The Holder(s) shall notify Parent as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished by it to Parent or of the happening of any event in either case as a result of which any Prospectus relating to a Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact regarding such party or the distribution of such Registrable Securities, or omits to state any material fact regarding such party or the distribution of such Registrable Securities required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and to furnish promptly to Parent any additional information required to correct or update any previously furnished information or required so that such Prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such party or the distribution of such Registrable Securities an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for a period not to exceed forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days and not to exceed ninety (90) aggregate calendar days in any twelve-month period (each a “Black Out Period”), Parent will not be required to file any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 5, file any amendment thereto, furnish any supplement to a prospectus included in a Registration Statement pursuant to

- 20 -

this Agreement, make any other filing with the SEC required pursuant to this Agreement, cause any Registration Statement or other filing with the SEC to become effective, or take any similar action (including, without limitation, in connection with a Demand given pursuant to Section 5.2(a)), and any and all sales of Registrable Securities by the Holder(s) pursuant to an effective registration statement shall be suspended: (i) if an event has occurred and is continuing as a result of which any such registration statement or prospectus would, in Parent’s good faith judgment, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) if Parent notifies the Holder(s) that such actions would, in Parent’s good faith judgment, require the disclosure of material non-public information which the Board of Directors has determined would be seriously detrimental to Parent to disclose and which Parent would not otherwise be required to disclose or (iii) if Parent notifies the Holder(s) that, in Parent’s good faith judgment, it is necessary to suspend sales of Registrable Securities by the Holder(s), to facilitate a pending or proposed public or Rule 144A offering by Parent of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below). Upon the termination of the condition described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, Parent shall promptly give written notice to the Holder(s) and shall promptly file any registration statement or amendment thereto required to be filed by it pursuant to this Agreement, furnish any prospectus supplement or amendment required to be furnished pursuant to this Agreement, make any other filing with the SEC required of it, take any similar action (including, without limitation, in connection with a Demand given pursuant to Section 5.2(a)) or terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities by the Holder(s) as contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Common Stock Equivalents” shall mean any rights, warrants, options, convertible securities or indebtedness, exchangeable securities or indebtedness, or other rights, exercisable for or convertible or exchangeable into, directly or indirectly, Common Stock and securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, whether at the time of issuance or upon the passage of time or the occurrence of any future event.

(e) Parent shall take all actions necessary to execute such documents and cause all of the Registrable Securities owned by the Holder(s) to be admitted for listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, which listing shall be effective on the Registration Effective Date.

5.6. Blue Sky. In connection with the registration under Section 5, Parent shall take all actions necessary to permit the resale by the Holder(s) of any Registrable Securities under the blue sky laws of the several states, except that Parent shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this Section 5.6 be obligated to be so qualified, subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.

5.7. Expenses. All expenses incident to Parent’s performance of or compliance with this Section 5 will be borne by Parent, including, without limitation, all: (i) registration and filing fees and expenses; (ii) expenses of printing; (iii) fees and expenses of counsel for Parent; and (iv) fees and expenses of one counsel for the Holder(s), provided, however, such fees pursuant to this clause (iv) shall not exceed US$25,000 in the aggregate.

- 21 -

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable for and shall not pay any expenses or fees of more than one counsel for the Holder(s) or any commissions to be paid in connection with any sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holder(s).

5.8. Marketing. In the event of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, Parent and the Holder(s) will negotiate in good faith and enter into reasonable and customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in reasonable and customary form, which may include, in the case of an underwritten offering on a firm commitment basis, customary “lock-up” obligations) and take such other actions (including using its best efforts to make such road show presentations (but in no event will Parent be required to incur travel and lodging expenses in excess of US$25,000 in connection with all road shows attended by Parent management in any twelve month period) and otherwise engage in such reasonable marketing support in connection with any such underwritten offering, including the obligation to make its executive officers available for such purpose if so requested by the managing underwriter for such offering) as are reasonably requested by the managing underwriter in order to expedite or facilitate the sale of such Registrable Securities.

5.9. Termination of Registration Rights. The obligations of Parent under this Section 5 shall: (i) with respect to the Stockholder or any of its Affiliate, terminate upon the date on which the Stockholder Percentage falls below ten percent; and (ii) with respect to a Ten Percent Transferee (other than the Stockholder or any of its Affiliate), terminate upon the date on which the stockholder percentage of such Ten Percent Transferee falls below ten percent. For the purposes of this Section 5.9(ii), the term “stockholder percentage” shall bear the same meaning as the term “Stockholder Percentage” as defined in Section 1(gggg), except that the reference to the term “Stockholder” in Section 1(gggg) shall be substituted with such Ten Percent Transferee.

5.10. Indemnification.

(a) Parent will, and does hereby agree to, indemnify and hold harmless the Holder(s), and each of their directors, officers, employees and agents and each person controlling the Holder(s) with respect to any registration effected pursuant to Section 5 against all claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, to which the Holder(s) may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state law insofar as such claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each such party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action; provided that Parent will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to Parent by such party and stated to be specifically for use therein and provided further, that Parent shall only reimburse such parties for the fees and expenses of a single legal counsel for all such parties.

- 22 -

(b) Each Holder will, severally based on Registrable Securities sold pursuant to a registration effected pursuant to Section 5, but not jointly, if Registrable Securities held by or issuable to it are included in a registration effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify Parent, each of its directors and officers, each person controlling Parent and the officers and directors of each such controlling person against all claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse Parent, and each such director, officer and controlling person, for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) was made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Parent by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of such Holder under this Section 5.10 shall be limited in an amount equal to the per share sales price (less any underwriting discounts and commissions) multiplied by the number of Registrable Securities sold by such Holder pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.10 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party required to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim as to which indemnification may be sought promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge thereof, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be subject to approval by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and after the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, representation of such Indemnified Party by such counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in such proceeding in which case such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to participate in such defense at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such Indemnified Parties provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall bear the expenses of independent counsel for the Indemnified Party if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation of more than one party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 5, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation. No

Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein, to such Indemnified Party, of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 5.10 is for any reason unavailable to a party to be indemnified with respect to any claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party under any such subsection, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, hereby agrees to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, cost or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount each Holder shall be obligated to contribute pursuant to this subsection (d) shall be limited to an amount equal to the per share sale price (less any underwriting discount and commissions) multiplied by the number of Registrable Securities sold by such Holder pursuant to the Registration Statement which gives rise to such obligation to contribute (less aggregate amount of any damages which such party has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such claim, action, demand, loss, damage, liability, cost or expense or any substantially similar claim, action, demand, loss, damage, liability, cost or expense arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution hereunder from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of each Holder under this paragraph will be several (based on Registrable Securities sold by such Holder pursuant to a registration effected pursuant to this Agreement) and not joint.

5.11. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holder(s) the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, Parent agrees to use its best efforts to:

(a) comply, on a timely basis with all the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and comply with all other public information reporting requirements of the SEC as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act under Rule 144 thereunder, as amended from time to time, or successor rule thereto, for the sale of Registrable Securities by the Holder(s);

(b) provide, at Parent’s expense, such opinion of counsel as may be reasonably requested by the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities in connection with each sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the

- 24 -

Securities Act (under Rule 144 thereunder, as amended from time to time, or successor rule thereto or otherwise) or otherwise, so long as the Holder(s) have furnished to counsel documentation reasonably acceptable to such counsel related to the transfer and the Registrable Securities;

(c) whenever the Holder(s) is able to demonstrate to Parent that the provisions of Rule 144 (or any successor rule) under the Securities Act are available to it and have furnished to Parent such documentation in connection therewith as Parent may reasonably request, provide, at Parent’s expense, new certificates that do not bear a restrictive legend; and

(d) so long as the Holder(s) own any Registrable Securities, furnish to such party forthwith upon request, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of Parent, and such other reports and documents as such party may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such Registrable Securities without registration; provided that such reports are not otherwise available to the Holder(s) on the SEC’s Xxxxx website.

5.12. The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that (i) it is aware that the United States securities laws prohibit any persons who have material, nonpublic information regarding a company from purchasing or selling securities of that company and from communicating such information to any person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information and (ii) Parent maintains a policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Policy”), regarding the trading of Parent securities by directors and officers of Parent, including time periods during which such securities may and may not be sold, and that during the Designation Period the Stockholder shall be subject to such Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Policy as in effect on the date hereof as if it were a director of Parent so long as there are any Stockholder Employee Directors on the Board of Directors.

5.13. Assignment of Registration Rights. Any or all of the rights of the Stockholder set forth in Section 5, including the right to have the Parent register for resale Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Registration Rights”), shall be assignable by the Stockholder, without the consent of the Parent, to any Person (a “Ten Percent Transferee”) to whom ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are proposed to be Transferred if: (i) the Parent is, within a reasonable time after such Transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and (c) the specific Registration Rights which have been assigned; to such transferee or assignee; and (ii) such Transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement and applicable law.

6. Board of Directors.

6.1. Stockholder Designees.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, the Board of Directors shall appoint to the Board of Directors that number of directors designated by the Stockholder (each, a

- 25 -

“Stockholder Designee”) calculated in accordance with Schedule B hereto. Thereafter, the Stockholder shall have the right to nominate for election to the Board of Directors that number of Stockholder Designees equal to the total number of directorships established by the Board of Directors from time to time, multiplied by the Stockholder Percentage, in each case at the time of the nomination, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number (with 0.5 being rounded up), provided, that the Stockholder will be entitled to nominate at least two (2) directors for election to the Board of Directors in accordance with this Section 6.1(a) so long as the Stockholder Percentage is equal to at least fifteen percent (15%) and the Stockholder will be entitled to nominate at least one (1) director for election to the Board of Directors in accordance with this Section 6.1(a) so long as the Stockholder Percentage is equal to at least ten percent (10%) and, provided, further that for purposes of calculating the Stockholder Percentage no shares of Voting Securities acquired by the Stockholder in violation of this Agreement will be included.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Stockholder has not Transferred any Voting Securities prior to the applicable time of nomination during such three (3) year period commencing from the Closing Date, except for Voting Securities Transferred to an Affiliate, the Stockholder shall have the right to nominate at least the number of Stockholder Designees that Stockholder has the right to nominate on the Closing Date; provided, however if, prior to the third anniversary of Closing, (x) Parent issued equity securities in a Qualified Equity Offering, (y) the Stockholder was prohibited from exercising its pre-emptive rights pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement in such Qualified Equity Offering as a result of the limitations imposed on the Stockholder pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(i)(B) of this Agreement and (z) as a result of such prohibition of the Stockholder’s ability to exercise its pre-emptive rights the number of Stockholder Designees that the Stockholder has the right to nominate would have decreased below the number of Stockholder Designees that Stockholder has the right to nominate on the Closing Date, then this Section 6.1(b) shall continue in effect until the earlier of (x) the four (4) year anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) the one (1) year anniversary of the expiration of the Section 382 Limitation Period, but in no event shall it continue in effect for less than three (3) years commencing from the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any transfers to an Affiliate will not be considered a Transfer of Voting Securities for purposes of this Section 6.1(b).

(c) In the event of the death, disability, resignation or removal of the Stockholder Designee, Parent shall cause, subject to the fiduciary duties of the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee, any applicable regulation or listing requirement of the NASDAQ or other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed for trading and any applicable provisions of any network security agreement between Parent, Stockholder and any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Plan of Amalgamation) (provided, that in the event that Parent is unable to nominate an individual identified by the Stockholder, Parent shall so inform the Stockholder and the Stockholder shall be entitled to designate a different individual within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice), the prompt election to the Board of Directors a replacement director designated by the Stockholder to fill the resulting vacancy, and such individual shall then be deemed an Stockholder Designee for all purposes under this Agreement.

- 26 -

(d) Stockholder acknowledges that Parent has corporate governance guidelines in effect which would apply to all of Parent’s directors including the Stockholder Designees, and such guidelines shall not apply to Stockholder or affect in any way Stockholder’s rights under this Agreement.

(e) During the Designation Period, the Parent shall provide notification in writing of the anticipated filing date of definitive proxy materials (or if applicable, preliminary proxy materials) with the SEC for an annual general meeting or any special meeting at which directors are elected, of the applicable year, and Stockholder shall be required to identify in writing its proposed Stockholder Designees at least 30 calendar days prior to such date of anticipated filing of the definitive proxy materials (or if applicable, preliminary proxy materials) with the SEC, as well as submit completed director and officer questionnaires provided by Parent within a reasonable period of time of receipt of such questionnaires from Parent, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of Parent shall, subject to the fiduciary duties of the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee, any applicable regulation or listing requirement of the NASDAQ or other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed for trading and any applicable provisions of any network security agreement between Parent, Stockholder and any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Plan of Amalgamation) (provided, that in the event that Parent is unable to nominate an individual identified by the Stockholder, Parent shall so inform the Stockholder and the Stockholder shall be entitled to designate a different individual within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice), at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of Parent at which directors are to be elected, and at every adjournment thereof, and in every action or approval by written consent of shareholders of Parent in lieu of such a meeting, nominate the Stockholder Designees for election to the Board of Directors. Parent’s proxy statement for the election of directors shall include the recommendation of the Board of Directors in favor of election of the Stockholder Designee, and Parent shall solicit proxies for the Stockholder Designee to the same extent as it does for any of its other nominees to the Board of Directors and use all reasonable efforts to cause the Stockholder Designees to be elected as directors of the Board of Directors.

(f) Committee Memberships.

(i) During the Designation Period, at least one Stockholder Designee will be appointed by the Board of Directors to sit on each committee of the Board of Directors, subject to the Stockholder Designee satisfying applicable qualifications under applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rules and regulations. The Stockholder will have the right to designate which Stockholder Designees serve on which committee or committees, provided that such selection does not otherwise conflict with applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rules and regulations. If any of the Stockholder Designees fails to satisfy the applicable qualifications under law or stock exchange rule to sit on any committee of the Board of Directors, then the Board of Directors shall permit the Stockholder Designee to attend (but not vote) at the meetings of such committee as an observer, if permitted by applicable law and regulations.

- 27 -

(ii) Parent shall form, on or prior to the Closing Date, a strategic planning committee of the Board of Directors (the “Strategic Planning Committee”). At all times during the Designation Period (x) Parent shall maintain the Strategic Planning Committee as a committee of the Board of Directors consisting of three (3) directors; (y) the Stockholder shall have the right to have one of its Stockholder Designees serve as a member of the Strategic Planning Committee, which Stockholder Designee may, at the option of the Stockholder, serve as the chairman of such committee, and (z) all members of the Board of Directors shall, at their option, receive notice of, attend, participate in and receive materials for meetings of the Strategic Planning Committee. The form of the charter for the Strategic Planning Committee is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

(g) During the Designation Period, the Parent shall not adopt or maintain in effect a shareholder rights plan or similar plan which shall be triggered upon (i) the Stockholder or any of its Affiliates making a Share Acquisition in compliance with Section 4 of this Agreement; (ii) any Transfers of Equity Interests between the Stockholder and any Affiliates; or (iii) the acquisition by any one Person from the Stockholder of any number of shares of Common Stock that would result in such Person Beneficially Owning immediately after such acquisition no more than the aggregate of (x) the Closing Share Percentage; and (y) 5.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock less one share of Common Stock, provided that in no circumstances may such Person acquire more than the number of shares equal to the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock multiplied by the Closing Share Percentage. Any such shareholder rights plan or similar plan shall provide that the term “Affiliates,” when used with respect to the Stockholder, shall have the meaning set forth in this Agreement. In the event that Parent has a shareholder rights plan or similar plan in effect to protect the net operating losses of the Parent during the Designation Period, Parent shall cause such plan to be terminated upon the occurrence of an “ownership change” of Parent for purposes of Section 382 of the Code as a result of a transfer permitted by this Agreement..

7. Pre-emptive Rights Upon Qualified Equity Offering.

(a) Qualified Equity Offering

(i) Subject to Section 4.2 of this Agreement, if, during the Designation Period, Parent at any time or from time to time makes a Qualified Equity Offering, the Stockholder shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from Parent, for the same price and on the same terms as the New Equity Interests are proposed to be offered to others, up to the amount of New Equity Interests required to enable it to maintain its Stockholder Percentage determined immediately prior to the completion of the Qualified Equity Offering; provided that, in the event of a Qualified Equity Offering by Parent of New Equity Interests that are non-voting at the time of issuance, including, without limitation, convertible debt securities (“New Non-Voting Securities”) the Stockholder shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from Parent, for the same price and on the same terms as such New Equity Interests are proposed to be offered to others, a percentage of the New Non-Voting Securities being offered in an amount equal to its Economic Interest Percentage.

- 28 -

(ii) With respect to any Qualified Equity Offering of New Equity Interests being offered for consideration other than cash, the price to the Stockholder will be calculated as a cash amount equal to the effective price, as reasonably translated into cash by Parent in good faith, of the New Equity Interests paid by the other investors for such securities (the “Effective Price”). In determining the cash-equivalent price, Parent will consider all factors that it deems to be relevant, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, the market values of each of the New Equity Interests and the non-cash assets or securities being exchanged for the New Equity Interests (the “Exchanged Assets”), it being understood that the determination in each case will involve Parent’s reasoned judgment about the trading ranges of each of the Exchanged Assets and the New Equity Interests as well as other comparable assets and/or securities of Parent or other issuers that Parent deems to be reasonably comparable in whole or in part, as well as other factors customarily used to determine market values. Parent shall include the applicable Effective Price in any Term Sheet (as defined below) provided to the Stockholder pursuant to Section 7(c) or 7(d) below with respect to such Qualified Equity Offering, and shall deliver together with the Term Sheet the underlying documentation (“Supporting Work Papers”) showing the calculations that support its determination of the Effective Price. The Stockholder shall notify Parent within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Term Sheet and Supporting Work Papers if the Stockholder does not agree that the Effective Price was reasonably determined by Parent. If the Stockholder does not agree that the Effective Price was reasonably determined, then Parent and the Stockholder shall work in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the Effective Price. If Parent and the Stockholder are unable to resolve any such dispute within five (5) Business Days of the Stockholder’s delivery of notice to Parent regarding its disagreement with the Effective Price, Parent and Stockholder shall jointly engage a internationally recognized investment bank reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Stockholder (the “Dispute Bank”). The Dispute Bank shall provide a report, within ten (10) Business Days of retention, on whether the Effective Price was reasonably determined as the cash-equivalent price for such New Equity Interests paid by the other investors. If the Dispute Bank determines that the Effective Price was a reasonable determination of the cash-equivalent price for such New Equity Interests paid by the other investors (i) the Stockholder shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of such determination by the Dispute Bank to inform Parent whether it intends to exercise its preemptive rights pursuant to this Section 7 with respect to the applicable Qualified Equity Offering at such Effective Price and (ii) the Stockholder shall bear all costs and expenses of the Dispute Bank. If the Dispute Bank determines that the Effective Price was not a reasonable determination of the cash-equivalent price for such New Equity Interests paid by the other investors (an “Adverse Determination”), Parent shall (i) work in good faith to revise the calculation of the Effective Price, which revised calculation shall take into account the objections raised in the report of the Dispute Bank (the “Revised Effective Price”), (ii) deliver to the Stockholder notice of the Revised Effective Price, together with the related Supporting Work Papers within ten (10) Business Days of the Adverse Determination and (iii) bear all costs and expenses of the Dispute Bank. Upon receipt of notice of the Revised Effective Price, the Stockholder shall have five (5) Business Days to (i) inform Parent whether it intends to exercise its preemptive rights pursuant to this Section 7 with respect to the applicable Qualified Equity Offering at such

- 29 -

Revised Effective Price or (ii) notify Parent if the Stockholder does not agree that the Revised Effective Price was reasonably determined by Parent. If the Stockholder does not agree that the Revised Effective Price was reasonably determined, then Parent and the Stockholder shall work in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the Revised Effective Price. If Parent and the Stockholder are unable to resolve any such dispute within five (5) Business Days of the Stockholder’s delivery of notice to Parent regarding its disagreement with the Revised Effective Price, Parent and the Stockholder shall again utilize the dispute process set forth in this Section 7(a)(ii) until any disputes regarding the calculation of the effective price, as revised, are resolved.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum amount of New Equity Interests Stockholder may purchase calculated pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) shall include an amount equal to the Stockholder’s Percentage of any additional New Equity Securities issued as a result of the exercise of any overallotment option.

(c) If Parent proposes to make a Qualified Equity Offering that is not an underwritten public offering or a private offering made to financial institutions for resale pursuant to Rule 144A (a “Private Placement”), Parent shall give the Stockholder written notice of its intention, including a Term Sheet. The Stockholder shall be required to respond in writing to Parent prior to the expiration of the Applicable Notice Period that it intends to exercise such pre-emptive purchase rights and as to the amount of New Equity Interests such Stockholder desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 7(a) (the “Designated Equity Interests”). Such notice shall constitute the binding agreement of the Stockholder to purchase the amount of Designated Equity Interests so specified (or a proportionately lesser amount if the amount of New Equity Interests to be offered in such Private Placement is subsequently reduced, including in circumstances where overallotment option is not exercised in its entirety) upon the price and other terms set forth in Parent’s Term Sheet; provided that if the initial notice contains a range of prices and other terms, the Stockholder shall only be bound to purchase the amount of Designated Equity Interests if the purchase price and other terms falls within the range specified in the Term Sheet. The failure of the Stockholder to respond during the Applicable Notice Period shall constitute a waiver of the pre-emptive rights in respect of such offering only.

(d) If Parent proposes to make a Qualified Equity Offering that is an underwritten public offering or a private offering made to financial institutions for resale pursuant to Rule 144A (a “Public Offering”), Parent shall give the Stockholder written notice of its intention, including a Term Sheet. The Stockholder shall be required to respond in writing to Parent prior to the expiration of the Applicable Notice Period that it intends to exercise such pre-emptive purchase rights and as to the amount of New Equity Interests the Stockholder desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 7(a). Such notice shall constitute the binding agreement of the Stockholder to purchase the amount of Designated Equity Interests so specified (or a proportionately lesser amount if the amount of New Equity Interests to be offered in such Public Offering is subsequently reduced, including in circumstances where overallotment option is not exercised in its entirety) upon the price and other terms set forth in Parent’s Term Sheet; provided that if the initial notice contains a range of prices and other terms, the Stockholder shall only be bound to purchase the amount of Designated Equity Interests if the purchase price and other terms falls within the range specified

- 30 -

in the Term Sheet. The failure of the Stockholder to respond during the Applicable Notice Period shall constitute a waiver of the pre-emptive rights in respect of such offering only.

(e) The term sheet (“Term Sheet”) issued by Parent to the Stockholder will describe, to the extent applicable, the proposed offering size (including specification of the size of any over-allotment option included as part of the Qualified Equity Offering), price (or conversion premium in the case of a convertible security offering), maturity date and coupon (each of which may be provided within a range of +/- 15 %) and all terms that have an economic or structural impact, and in addition any other material terms upon which Parent proposes to offer the same. The Term Sheet will be delivered together with all then available information as presented to the Board of Directors and authorized by the Board of Directors for use in the marketing of the Qualified Equity Offering.

(f) The Stockholder shall maintain the confidentiality of the proposed Private Placement or Public Offering, as the case may be, until such time as such Private Placement or Public Offering is publicly announced or otherwise abandoned by Parent, regardless of whether the Stockholder intends to exercise its pre-emptive rights with respect to the Private Placement or Public Offering, provided, however, that in no event shall this obligation apply to the Stockholder for more than thirty (30) calendar days following the date of delivery to a Stockholder of such notice by Parent.

(g) If a Stockholder exercises its pre-emptive purchase rights provided in Section 7(c), the closing of the purchase of the New Equity Interests with respect to which such right has been exercised shall be conditioned on the consummation of the Private Placement giving rise to such pre-emptive purchase rights and shall take place simultaneously with the closing of the Private Placement or on such other date as Parent and such Stockholder shall agree in writing; provided that the actual amount of Designated Equity Interests to be sold to such Stockholder pursuant to its exercise of preemptive rights hereunder shall be proportionately reduced if the aggregate amount of New Equity Interests sold in the Private Placement is reduced and, at the option of the Stockholder, shall be increased if such aggregate amount of New Equity Interests sold in the Private Placement is increased; and the Stockholder shall be given three (3) Business Days written notice of such increase. In connection with its purchase of Designated Equity Interests, the Stockholder shall execute an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and Stockholder containing representations, warranties and agreements of the Stockholder that are customary for such private placement transactions.

(h) If the Stockholder exercises its pre-emptive purchase rights provided in Section 7(d), the closing of the purchase of the New Equity Interests with respect to which such right has been exercised shall be conditioned on the consummation of the Public Offering giving rise to such pre-emptive purchase rights and shall take place simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering or on such other date as Parent and the Stockholder shall agree in writing; provided that the actual amount of Designated Equity Interests to be sold to such Stockholder pursuant to its exercise of preemptive rights hereunder shall be proportionately reduced if the aggregate amount of New Equity Interests sold in the Public Offering is reduced and, at the option of the Stockholder, shall be increased if such aggregate amount of New Equity Interests sold in the Public Offering is increased; and the Stockholder shall be given

- 31 -

three (3) Business Days written notice of such increase. In connection with its purchase of Designated Equity Interests, the Stockholder shall execute an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and Stockholder containing representations, warranties and agreements of the Stockholder that are customary for such public offering transactions.

(i) In the event the Stockholder fails to exercise its preemptive rights provided in this Section 7 within the applicable time period or, if so exercised, the Stockholder does not consummate such purchase within the applicable period, Parent shall thereafter be entitled during the period of 60 days following the conclusion of the applicable period to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Equity Interests covered thereby shall be consummated, if at all, within 60 days from the date of such agreement) to sell the New Equity Interests not purchased pursuant to this Section 7 at the price and on the terms offered to the Stockholder. In the event Parent has not sold the New Equity Interests or entered into an agreement to sell the New Equity Interests within said 60-day period, Parent shall not thereafter offer, issue or sell such New Equity Interests without first offering such securities to the Stockholder in the manner provided in this Section 7.

(j) In the event that Parent determines to consummate a Qualified Equity Offering prior to the expiration of the Applicable Notice Period, and, as a result, the Stockholder is unable to participate in such Qualified Equity Offering Parent shall afford the Stockholder the opportunity to purchase from Parent, at or prior to the expiration of the Applicable Notice Period, an amount of Designated Equity Interests that it would have been entitled to purchase pursuant to an exercise of its pre-emptive rights, at the same price and on the same terms on which would have been available through the exercise of its pre-emptive rights, and Parent’s compliance with this Section 7(j) shall relieve Parent of any liability for the failure to have provided the notices required pursuant to this Section 7.

(k) Prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter during the Designation Period, Parent may present to the Stockholder a description of the types and amounts of equity financings that it is considering pursuing during that calendar quarter (the “Quarterly Equity Financing Plan”), including, to the extent and if available, the relevant Term Sheets to any individual Anticipated Qualified Equity Offerings (“Anticipated QEO”). Upon the receipt of any Quarterly Equity Financing Plan, the Stockholder shall inform Parent in writing, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such plan, of its determination of whether the Quarterly Equity Financing Plan and, if available, the related Term Sheets for the individual Anticipated QEO contains sufficient detail to qualify as a pre-approved pre-emptive rights plan (a “Pre-Approved Plan”), for purposes of the definition of Applicable Notice Period.

(l) “Applicable Notice Period” shall mean, with respect to Section 7, five (5) Business Days; provided, however, that for any calendar quarter in which the Stockholder has informed Parent that it has determined that the applicable Quarterly Equity Financing Plan constitutes a Pre-Approved Plan, (i) the Applicable Notice Period for any Anticipated QEO which is consistent with its relevant Term Sheet of the Pre-Approved Plan shall be three (3) Business Days and (ii) the Applicable Notice Period for any Anticipated QEO which is not consistent with its relevant Term Sheet of the Pre-Approved Plan shall be seven (7) Business Days.

- 32 -

7.2. Parent and the Stockholder shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the exercise of the Stockholder’s pre-emptive rights hereunder, including securing any required approvals or consents, and the Stockholder shall use its good faith efforts to respond to any notice of a proposed offering as quickly as possible in order to facilitate the execution of such offering.

8. Information Provision.

8.1. Until the date on which the Stockholder no longer needs such information in order to comply with any applicable laws or regulations or its required reporting to its debt and equity holders, Parent shall provide the Stockholder with the following information (in each case consistent with materials otherwise provided to Parent’s Board of Directors and/or such documents in their final form for use by senior management):

(a) periodic reports, consisting of unaudited quarterly (as soon as available and in any event within 45 days of the end of each quarter) and audited (by a nationally recognized accounting firm) annual (as soon as available and in any event within 75 days of the end of each year) financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which statements shall include:

(i) the consolidated balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement of Parent;

(ii) a comparison to the corresponding data for the prior period and the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year; and

(iii) as appropriate, a reconciliation to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) via a reporting package provided by the Stockholder identifying all differences between US GAAP and IFRS;

(b) other requisite information for the Stockholder to perform its acquisition accounting procedure, which procedure must be completed within 12 months after Closing;

(c) such other information not included pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above as the Stockholder may reasonably request as necessary to satisfy its own reporting requirements, provided that Parent shall not be required to incur significant incremental costs to obtain and provide such additional information; and

(d) to the extent that Parent is required by law or pursuant to the terms of any outstanding indebtedness of Parent to prepare any annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, such reports actually prepared by Parent as soon as available, provided, that any such reports shall be deemed to have been provided when such reports are publicly available via the SEC’s XXXXX system or any successor to the XXXXX system.

8.2 During the Designation Period, Parent shall also provide the Stockholder with the following information, in each case consistent with information provided to its Board of

- 33 -

Directors (or, if not provided to its Board of Directors, consistent with such documents in their final form for use by senior management):

(a) monthly flash reports showing performance for the month with comparison to budget;

(b) with respect to quarterly and annual information delivered pursuant to Section 8.1, a comparison of results to budget for the period reflected and year to date;

(c) other financial information delivered to the Board of Directors, including that provided to sub-committees of the Board of Directors; and

(d) a copy of Parent’s annual budget and any multi-year strategic plan, in the form approved by the Board of Directors within one (1) week following approval by the Board of Directors and any Board of Directors approved revisions thereof.

8.3 The Stockholder and/or its external auditor will be provided reasonable access to Parent’s internal accounting, finance, tax and other personnel and its external auditors for the purposes set out in this Section 8, including in connection with the Stockholder’s completion of its acquisition accounting process.

8.4 For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Designation Period has lapsed, the provisions of this Section 8 will continue and survive, other than Section 8.2, which shall terminate upon the conclusion of the Designation Period.

8.5 The Stockholder agrees to keep confidential any non-public information provided by Parent pursuant to this Section 8 and to use such non-public information solely for purposes of monitoring its investment in Parent.

8.6 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent shall not be obligated to provide the stockholder with the information required to be provided pursuant to Section 8.2 to the extent that, in Parent’s reasonable judgment and based on the advice of counsel, providing such access would jeopardize the protection of attorney — client privilege.

8.7 For so as long as Parent is required by law to file with the SEC periodic reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the requirements to provide quarterly and annual financial statements described in Section 8.1.(a) above will be deemed to be satisfied by Parent making such reports publicly available via the SEC’s XXXXX system or any successor to the XXXXX system.

9. Effective Date. Other than the provisions of Section 10, this Agreement shall become effective only as of the Closing Date. In the event that the Plan of Amalgamation terminates, this Agreement shall terminate.

10. Miscellaneous Provisions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.3 shall prevent either party from making any public announcement it considers necessary in order to satisfy its obligations under the law or the rules of any national securities exchange or market, provided such party, to the extent practicable, provides the other party with an opportunity to review and comment on any proposed public announcement before it is made.

10.4. Pronouns. All pronouns or any variation thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person, persons, entity or entities may require.
