In connection with the declaration, issuance or consummation of any dividend, spin-off or other distribution or similar transaction by the Company of the capital stock of any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall cause (i) to the extent that the Voting Preferred Shares and the Warrants remain outstanding, additional shares of voting preferred stock of such Subsidiary and additional warrants of such Subsidiary with substantially similar terms as the Voting Preferred Shares and the Warrants, respectively, to be issued to the Equity Purchaser or one or more of its nominees or its Transferees so that after giving effect to such transaction the Equity Purchaser and its nominees and Transferees have the same interest in voting preferred stock (and voting securities) and warrants in each of the Company and such Subsidiary as they had in the Voting Preferred Shares and the Warrants immediately prior to such transaction and (ii) any such Subsidiary to enter into a securityholders and registration rights agreement with substantially similar terms, conditions, covenants and governance provisions as are provided for in this Agreement with the Equity Purchaser and/or its nominees or any Transferees, as appropriate.

SECTION 2.8 Pre-Approval of Certain Transactions. In the event that the Company takes or plans to take any action that would or would reasonably be expected to cause it to lose its exemption from regulation as a “holding company” (as defined in PUHCA) under PUHCA, including any merger or other business combination with a “public-utility company” or a “holding company” thereof (as such terms are defined in PUHCA) if such combination results in the creation of a “holding company” registered under PUHCA Section 5, the Company and, if applicable, its successor shall use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain all prior approvals or exemptions, if any, from the SEC under PUHCA necessary for the consummation of all transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, including approval or exemption of (i) the issuance of securities by the Company or its successor in connection with the exercise of the Warrants, (ii) the capital structure of the Company or its successor both before and after the exercise of the Warrants, including approval or exemption of the continued existence of any minority interests in the Company or its successor and (iii) the repurchase or redemption of the Voting Preferred Shares, the Subordinated Debentures and the Trust Preferred Securities.

(b) No Transferee shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement, except that:

(i) in the sole discretion of the Equity Purchaser, the Equity Purchaser may assign all or a portion of the rights and obligations of the Equity Purchaser under Sections 2.7 and 2.8 and Articles IV, VI and VIII (and such rights shall be further transferable to any further Transferee subject to this Section 3.1(b)(i));

(ii) in the sole discretion of the Trust Preferred Purchaser, the Trust Preferred Purchaser may assign all or a portion of the rights and obligations of the Trust Preferred Purchaser under Articles V, VI and VIII (and such rights shall be further transferable to any further Transferee subject to this Section 3. 1 (b)(ii)); and

(c) Prior to the consummation of a Transfer from the Equity Purchaser or the Trust Preferred Purchaser, to the extent rights and obligations are to be assigned, and as a condition thereto, the applicable Transferee shall (i) agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent described in Section 3.1 (b) and (ii) provide the Company and the other parties to this Agreement at such time complete information for notices under this Agreement.

SECTION 3.2 Transfer Restrictions of the Voting Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding Section 3.1, the Equity Purchaser hereby agrees, and any Transferee of Voting Preferred Shares agrees, that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall transfer any of their respective Voting Preferred Shares without transferring to the same Transferee an equal number of Warrants.

SECTION 3.3 Transfer Restrictions of the Warrants. Notwithstanding Section 3.1, the Equity Purchaser hereby agrees, and any Transferee of Voting Preferred Shares agrees, that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall transfer any of their respective Warrants without transferring to the same Transferee an equal number of Voting Preferred Shares; provided, however, to the extent that the Equity Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any such Transferee holds a greater number of Warrants than Voting Preferred Shares (“Excess Warrants”), it may transfer any Excess Warrants without transferring Voting Preferred Shares.

SECTION 3.4 Redemption of the Voting Preferred Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it shall not redeem any of the Voting Preferred Shares other than in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and in the Certificate of Amendment.

SECTION 3.5 Purchase of the Trust Preferred Securities. The Company shall purchase, in each case on a date no less than six (6) months (the “Waiting Period”) after the date of exercise of all or any portion of the Warrants then held by the Equity Purchaser and/or its Affiliates (or by any Transferee of all or any portion of such Warrants if the exercise of such Warrants is substantially contemporaneous with the transfer of such Warrants to such Transferee, including, for example, a transfer to an underwriter in connection with its exercise of Warrants and the sale of shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise), at the option of the Trust Preferred Purchaser, such option to be exercised during the period beginning on the expiration of the Waiting Period and ending on the date which is 60 days after the expiration date of the Waiting Period, such number of Trust Preferred Securities held by the Trust Preferred Purchaser for (i) a cash purchase price equal to the liquidation preference of such Trust Preferred Securities in an amount up to, at the election of the Trust Preferred Purchaser, the aggregate exercise price paid in cash, if any, upon the exercise of any such Warrants or (ii) at the Company’s option, a purchase price paid in cash or in shares of Common Stock (with each such share equal in value to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Warrant) of one share of Common Stock on the trading date immediately prior to the exercise date of the applicable Warrants) in an amount up to, at the election of the Trust Preferred Purchaser, the aggregate exercise price paid through the surrender of Warrants pursuant to Section 2.3(b) of the Warrants, if any, upon the exercise of any such Warrants; provided that, in any case, upon the announcement or entering into of any agreement by the Company with respect to any Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), such right of the Trust Preferred Purchaser to have the Company purchase the Trust Preferred Securities, if exercised or entitled to be exercised, shall become effective immediately upon the earlier of (A) the expiration of the Waiting Period, (B) 30 days following any such announcement or entering into of any such agreement and (C) the consummation of any Change of Control of the Company and, in the case of clauses (B) and (C), the Waiting Period or any portion thereof shall no longer apply. If the Company suffers any adverse financial consequences by virtue of both the Equity Purchaser transferring Warrants which are then exercised by the Transferee and the Trust Preferred Purchaser then exercising its option (the “TPS Option”) to cause the Company to purchase Trust Preferred Securities all as contemplated above and such financial consequences are more adverse (whether by reason of increased taxes, reduced earnings or otherwise) to the Company than if both the Equity Purchaser had exercised rather than transferred such Warrants and the Trust Preferred Purchaser had then exercised the TPS Option, then the Equity Purchaser and the Trust Preferred Purchaser shall hold the Company harmless against the effects of such more adverse consequences if and then only to the extent such adverse consequences are more adverse than if both the Equity Purchaser had exercised rather than transferred such Warrants and the Trust Preferred Purchaser had then exercised the TPS Option.

ARTICLE IV

REGISTRATION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO

THE WARRANTS AND THE WARRANT SHARES

SECTION 4.1 Shelf Registration Statement.

(a) Filing; Effectiveness; Expenses. Subject to Section 4.1(d), the Company shall:

(i) file on or before the one-hundred-eightieth (180^th) day following the Closing Date an “evergreen” shelf registration statement on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act(or any successor provisions), providing for an offering to be made on a continuous basis of the Company Registrable Securities (the “Shelf Registration”);

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing;

(iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in effect, supplement and amend, if necessary, the Shelf Registration, as required by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or as reasonably requested by the Holders of (or any underwriter for) more than 10% of the Warrants issued as of the Closing or the Warrant Shares subject thereto;

(iv) furnish to the Holders of the Company Registrable Securities to which the Shelf Registration relates copies of any supplement or amendment to such Shelf Registration prior to such supplement or amendment being used and/or filed with the SEC; and

(v) pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the Shelf Registration, whether or not it becomes effective, and whether all, some or none of the Company Registrable Securities to which it relates are sold pursuant to it.

(b) Inclusion of Additional Securities. In no event shall the Shelf Registration include securities other than the Company Registrable Securities set forth in Section 4.1(a)(i) unless Holders of more than 66²/₃% of such Company Registrable Securities consent to such inclusion.

(c) Effective Shelf Registration Statement. (i) If at any time, the Shelf Registration ceases to be effective, then the Company shall use its best efforts to file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a new “evergreen” shelf registration statement providing for an offering to be made on a continuous basis of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares.

(ii) If, after the Shelf Registration has become effective, it is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or authority, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or of any order preventing

or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 4.1 (a), at such time as the Equity Purchaser and its Affiliates are permitted to sell in a single quarter pursuant to Rule 144 all Common Stock either held by or underlying the Warrants held by the Equity Purchaser and its Affiliates, the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 4.1 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

(e) (i) If the Company shall at any time furnish to the Equity Purchaser and/or any of its Transferees, a certificate signed by its chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president or any other of its authorized officers stating that the Company has pending or in process a material transaction, the disclosure of which would, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with its outside securities counsel, materially and adversely affect the Company, the Company may postpone the filing (but not the preparation) of the Shelf Registration for up to sixty (60) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to postpone registration pursuant to this Section 4.1(e)(i) more than once. The Company shall promptly give the Equity Purchaser and/or its Transferees, as appropriate, written notice of any postponement made in accordance with the preceding sentence.

(ii) If the Company shall at any time furnish to the Equity Purchaser and/or any of its Transferees, a certificate signed by its chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president or any other of its authorized officers (a “Suspension Notice”) stating that the Company has been advised in writing by a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Company that, in such firm’s opinion, resales of the Company Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration would adversely affect any Company Offering (as defined in Section 4.2(h)(i)) with respect to which the Company has commenced preparations for a registration prior to the receipt of a Confirmation Request (as defined in Section 4.1 (f), the Equity Purchaser or such Transferees may not effect any such resales until the earliest of (A) 30 days after the completion of such Company Offering, (B) promptly after the abandonment of such Company Offering or (C) 120 days after the delivery of such Suspension Notice.

(iii) If upon receipt of a Confirmation Request, the Company determines in its good faith judgment after consultation with its securities counsel that the filing of an amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration is necessary in order to effect resales pursuant to the Shelf Registration and such filing would require disclosure of material information which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential and the Company provides the Holders a Suspension Notice within 48 hours of such receipt of a Confirmation Request, the Company shall not be required to comply with its obligations under Section 4(a)(iii), and the Equity Purchaser and/or Transferee, as applicable, may not effect any resales, until the earlier of (A) the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or (B) 90 days after such Confirmation Request was received by the Company.

(iv) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.1(e)(ii) and (iii), the Company shall be entitled to serve only one Suspension Notice (A) within any period of 180 consecutive days or (B) with respect to any two consecutive resales for which the Equity Purchaser or its Transferees deliver Confirmation Requests.

(f) At least 48 hours prior to effecting any sale of Company Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration, the Holder will request the Company to confirm whether the Company is then exercising its rights pursuant to Section 4.1( e)(a “Confirmation Request”).

(g) Underwritten Offering. At the election of any Holder or group of Holders, in each case, holding in excess of 10% of the aggregate of the outstanding Warrants and Warrant Shares then issued, any resale pursuant to the Shelf Registration may involve an underwritten offering, and, in such case, the investment banker(s), underwriter(s) and manager(s) for such registration shall be selected by the Holders of a majority of the Company Registrable Securities which are the subject of any such request; provided, however, that such investment banker(s), underwriter(s) and manager(s) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

SECTION 4.2 Registration on Request.

(a) Request. If, at any time after the date hereof, the Shelf Registration is not then effective, the Equity Purchaser or any other Holder or group of Holders, in each case, holding in excess of 10% of the aggregate of the outstanding Warrants and Warrant Shares then issued (provided that no Transferee of the Equity Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or of any Transferee shall be permitted to request a registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 unless the right to make such a request was transferred to such Transferee pursuant to Section 3.1 (b )(i)) (individually or collectively, as the case may be, the “Demand Party”) may request in writing that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or part of such Demand Party’s Company Registrable Securities. Any such request will specify (i) the number of Company Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and (ii) the intended method of disposition thereof. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.2, the Company shall promptly give written notice of such requested registration to all other Holders, and thereupon will, as expeditiously as possible, use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of:

(i) the Company Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Demand Party; and

(ii) all other Company Registrable Securities of the same class(es) or series as are to be registered at the request of a Demand Party and which the Company has been requested to register by any other Holder thereof by written request given to the Company within thirty (30) days after the giving of such written notice by the Company (which request shall specify the amount and intended method of disposition of such Company Registrable Securities), all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended method thereof as aforesaid) of the Company Registrable Securities so to be registered.

(b) Limits on Registration Requests. Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a), (i) in no event shall the Company be required to effect more than five registrations pursuant to this Section 4.2 and (ii) the Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement relating to any registration request under this Section 4.2 (other than a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor or similar short-form registration statement) within a period of ninety (90) days after the effective date of any other registration statement relating to any registration request under this Section 4.2 or to any registration effected under Section 4.3, in either case which was not effected on Form S-3 (or any successor or similar short-form registration statement). Nothing in this Section 4.2 shall operate to limit the right of any Holder to (i) request the registration of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any Warrants held by such Holder notwithstanding the fact that at the time of request such Holder does not hold the Common Stock underlying such Warrants, or (ii) request the registration at one time of both Warrants exercisable into Common Stock and the Common Stock underlying any such Warrants.

(c) Registration Statement Form. The Company shall select the registration statement form for any registration pursuant to this Section 4.2; provided, however, that if any registration requested pursuant to this Section 4.2 which is proposed by the Company to be effected by the filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor or similar short-form registration statement) shall be in connection with an underwritten public offering, and if the managing underwriter shall advise the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the use of another form of registration statement is of material importance to the success of such proposed offering, then such registration shall be effected on such other form.

(d) Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with registrations pursuant to this Section 4.2.

(e) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to this Section 4.2 will not be deemed to have been effected:

(i) unless a registration statement with respect thereto has become effective and remained effective in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Company Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement until the earlier of (x) such time as all of such Company Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition thereof set forth in such registration statement or (y) one-hundred-eighty (180) days after the effective date of such registration statement, except with respect to any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, in which case the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement effective until the such time as all of the Company Registrable Securities cease to be Company Registrable Securities; provided, that if the failure of any such registration statement to become or remain effective in compliance with this Section 4.2(e)(i) is due solely to acts or omissions of the applicable Holders, such registration requested pursuant to this Section 4.2 will be deemed to have been effected;

(ii) if after it has become effective, the registration statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or authority and does not thereafter become effective; or

(iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure on the part of the Demand Party or other Holders.

(t) Underwritten Offering. At the election of the Demand Party, a requested registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 may involve an underwritten offering, the investment banker(s), underwriter(s) and manager(s) for such registration shall be selected by and, in such case, the Holders of a majority of the Company Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register; provided, however, that such investment banker(s), underwriter(s) and manager(s) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(g) Priority in Requested Registrations. If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of securities to be included in such registration would be likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities to be offered in such offering as contemplated by the Holders (an “Adverse Effect”), then the Company shall include in such registration Company Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Demand Party and all other Holders of Company Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.2 on a pro rata basis to the extent that the managing underwriter believes that such Company Registrable Securities can be sold in such offering without having an Adverse Effect. If the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall advise the Holders participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 that the Company Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement cannot be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Demand Party, then the Demand Party shall have the right to notify the Company that it has determined that the registration statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall abandon or withdraw such registration statement.

(h) Postponements in Requested Registrations. (i) If, upon receipt of a registration request pursuant to Section 4.2(a), the Company is advised in writing by a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Company that, in such firm’s opinion, a registration at the time and on the terms requested would adversely affect any public offering of securities of the Company by the Company (other than in connection with employee benefit and similar plans) (a “Company Offering”) with respect to which the Company has commenced preparations for a registration prior to the receipt of a registration request pursuant to Section 4.2(a) and the Company furnishes the Holders with a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company to such effect (the “Transaction Delay Notice”) promptly after such request, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to Section 4.2(a) until the earliest of (A) 30 days after the completion of such Company Offering, (B) promptly after the abandonment of such Company Offering or (C) 120 days after the date of the Transaction Delay Notice; provided, however, that in any event the Company shall not be required to effect any registration prior to the

termination, waiver or reduction of any “blackout period” required by the underwriters to be applicable to the Holders or the Company, if any, in connection with any Company Offering.

(ii) If upon receipt of a registration request pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or while a registration request pursuant to Section 4.2(a) is pending, the Company determines in its good faith judgment after consultation with its securities counsel that the filing of a registration statement would require disclosure of material information which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential and the Company provides the Holders written notice (the “Information Delay Notice” and, together with the Transaction Delay Notice, the “Delay Notice”) thereof promptly after the Company makes such determination, which shall be made promptly after the receipt of any request, the Company shall not be required to comply with its obligations under Section 4.2(a) until the earlier of (A) the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or (B) 90 days after the Holders’ receipt of such notice.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2(h), the Company shall be entitled to serve only one Delay Notice (i) within any period of 180 consecutive days or (ii) with respect to any two consecutive registrations requested pursuant to Section 4.2(a).

(iv) At any time when a registration statement effected pursuant to Section 4.2(a) hereunder relating to Company Registrable Securities is effective and a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act within the appropriate period mentioned in Section 6.1 (b) hereunder, that the Company becomes aware that the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, to the extent that the amendment or supplement to such prospectus necessary to correct such untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact would require disclosure of material information which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential and the Company provides the Holders written notice thereof promptly after the Company makes such determination, the Holders shall suspend sales of Company Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement and the Company shall not be required to comply with its obligations under Section 6.1 (f) ’until the earlier of (A) the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or (B) 90 days after the Holders’ receipt of such written notice. If the Holders’ disposition of Company Registrable Securities is discontinued pursuant to the foregoing sentence, unless the Company thereafter extends the effectiveness of the registration statement to permit dispositions of Company Registrable Securities by the Holders for an aggregate of 60 days, the registration statement shall not be counted for purposes of determining the number of registrations permitted under Section 4.2(b) hereof.

(i) Additional Rights. If the Company at any time grants to any other holders of Common Stock (or securities that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Common Stock) any rights to request the Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any such shares of Common Stock (or any such securities) on terms more favorable to such holders than the terms set forth in this Section 4.2, the terms of this Section 4.2 shall be deemed amended or supplemented to the extent necessary to provide the Holders such more favorable rights and benefits.

SECTION 4.3 Incidental Registrations. (a) If the Company at any time after the date hereof proposes to register Equity Securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor or other forms promulgated for similar purposes), whether or not for sale for its own account, in a manner which would permit registration of Company Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, it will, at each such time, give prompt written notice to all Holders of its intention to do so and of such Holders’ rights under this Agreement. Upon the written request of any such Holder made within thirty (30) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Company Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof; provided, that (i) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Company Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), and (ii) if such registration involves an underwritten offering, all Holders requesting to be included in the Company’s registration must sell their Company Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Company on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company, with such differences, including any with respect to indemnification and liability insurance, as may be customary or appropriate in combined primary and secondary offerings. If a registration requested pursuant to this Section involves an underwritten public offering, any Holder requesting to be included in such registration may elect, in writing prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, not to register all or any part of such securities in connection with such registration. Nothing in this Section shall operate to limit the right of any Holder to request the registration of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of securities, including Warrants, held by such Holder notwithstanding the fact that at the time of request such Holder does not hold the Common Stock underlying such securities. The registrations provided for in this Section 4.3 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, registrations made upon the request of the Equity Purchaser and any other Holder in accordance with Sections 4.1 and 4.2.

(b) Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Company Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 4.3.

(c) Priority in Incidental Registrations. If a registration pursuant to this Section 4.3 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of Company Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration would be likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities to be offered in such offering as contemplated by the Company (other than the Company Registrable Securities), then the Company shall include in such registration (a) first, 100% of the securities the Company proposes to sell and (b) second, to the extent of the amount of Company Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above, the amount

of Company Registrable Securities which the Holders have requested to be included in such registration, such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders on the basis of the relative amount of Company Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder (provided, that any such amount thereby allocated to any such Holder that exceeds such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requested Holders and Other Holders in like manner).

ARTICLE V

TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES

SECTION 5.1 Registration on Request.

(a) Request. At any time after the date hereof, the Trust Preferred Purchaser or any other Holder of Trust Registrable Securities or group of Holders, in each case, holding in excess of 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Trust Preferred Securities then outstanding (provided that no Transferee of the Trust Preferred Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or of any Transferee shall be permitted to request a registration pursuant to this Section 5.1 unless the right to make such a request was transferred to such Transferee pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii)), individually or collectively, as the case may be (the “Trust Demand Party”), may request in writing that the Company and the Trust effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or part of such Trust Demand Party’s Trust Registrable Securities.

(d) Expenses. The Company and the Trust will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with registrations pursuant to this Section 5.1.

(e) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to this Section 5.1 will not be deemed to have been effected:

(f) Selection of Underwriters. At the election of the Trust Demand Party, a requested registration pursuant to this Section 5.1 may involve an underwritten offering, and, in such case, the

investment banker(s), underwriter(s) and manager(s) for such registration shall be selected by the Holders of a majority of the Trust Registrable Securities which the Company and the Trust have been requested to register; provided, however, that such investment banker(s), underwriter(s) and manager(s) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(g) Priority in Requested Registrations. If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 5.1 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the Trust in writing that, in its opinion, the number of Trust Registrable Securities to be included in such registration would be likely to have an Adverse Effect, then the Company and the Trust shall include in such registration the Trust Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Trust Demand Party and all other Holders of Trust Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 5.1 on a pro rata basis to the extent that the managing underwriter believes that such Trust Registrable Securities can be sold in such offering without having an Adverse Effect. If the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall advise the Holders participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 5.1 that the Trust Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement cannot be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Trust Demand Party, then the Trust Demand Party shall have the right to notify the Company and the Trust that it has determined that the registration statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company and the Trust shall abandon or withdraw such registration statement.

(h) Postponements in Requested Registrations. (i) If, upon receipt of a registration request pursuant to Section 5.1(a), the Company is advised in writing by a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Company that, in such firm’s opinion, a registration at the time and on the terms requested would adversely affect any Company Offering with respect to which the Company has commenced preparations for a registration prior to the receipt of a registration request pursuant to Section 5.1 (a) and the Company furnishes the Holders with a Transaction Delay Notice promptly after such request, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to Section 5.1 (a) until the earliest of (A) 30 days after the completion of such Company offering, (B) promptly after the abandonment of such Company Offering or (C) 120 days after the date of the Transaction Delay Notice; provided, however, that in any event the Company shall not be required to reflect any registration prior to the termination, waiver or reduction of any “blackout period” required by the underwriters to be applicable to the Holders or the Company, if any, in connection with any Company Offering.

(ii) If upon receipt of a registration request pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or while a registration request pursuant to Section 5.1(a) is pending, the Company determines in its good faith judgment after consultation with its securities counsel that the filing of a registration statement would require disclosure of material information which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential and the Company provides the Holders an Information Delay Notice promptly after the Company makes such determination, which shall be made promptly after the receipt of any request, the Company shall not be required to comply with its obligations under Section 5.1 (a) until the earlier of (A) the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or (B) 90 days after the Holders’ receipt of such notice.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1 (h), the Company shall be entitled to serve only one Delay Notice (i) within any period of 180 consecutive days or (ii) with respect to any two consecutive registrations requested pursuant to Section 5.1 (a).

(iv) At any time when a registration statement effected pursuant to Section 5.l(a) hereunder relating to Trust Registrable Securities is effective and a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act within the appropriate period mentioned in Section 6.1(b) hereunder, that the Company becomes aware that the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, to the extent that the amendment or supplement to such prospectus necessary to correct such untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact would require disclosure of material information which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential and the Company provides the Holders written notice thereof promptly after the Company makes such determination, the Holders shall suspend sales of Trust Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement and the Company shall not be required to comply with its obligations under Section 6.1 (f) until the earlier of (A) the date upon which such material information s disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or (B) 90 days after the Holders’ receipt of such written notice. If the Holders’ disposition of Trust Registrable Securities is discontinued pursuant to the foregoing sentence, unless the Company thereafter extends the effectiveness of the registration statement to permit dispositions of Trust Registrable Securities by the Holders for an aggregate of 60 days, the registration statement shall not be counted for purposes of determining the number of registrations permitted under Section 5.1 (b) hereof.

(v) Additional Rights. If the Company or the Trust at any time grants to any other holders of any of its Equity Securities any rights to request the Company or the Trust to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any such Equity Securities on terms more favorable to such holders than the terms set forth in this Section 5.1, the terms of this Section 5.1 shall be deemed amended or supplemented to the extent necessary to provide the Holders such more favorable rights and benefits.

SECTION 5.2 Liquidation of the Trust. The parties hereto agree that if the Trust is for any reason liquidated or otherwise dissolved, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then the provisions of Section 5.1 shall apply in their entirety to the Subordinated Debentures.

(h) enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form), which may include indemnification provisions in favor of underwriters and other Persons in addition to, or in substitution for the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof, and take such other actions as sellers of a majority of shares of such Registrable Securities or the underwriters, if any, reasonably requested in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(i) obtain a “cold comfort” letter or letters from such Registering Party’s independent public accounts in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the seller or sellers of a majority of shares of such Registrable Securities shall reasonably request;

(k) notify counsel (selected pursuant to Section 6.6 hereof) for the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, immediately, and confirm the notice in writing (i) when the registration statement, or any post-effective amendment to the registration statement, shall have become effective, or any supplement to the prospectus or any amendment to the prospectus shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the SEC, (iii) of any request of the SEC to amend the registration statement or

(m) if requested by the managing underwriter or agent or any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or agent or such Holder reasonably requests to be included therein, including, with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold by such Holder to such underwriter or agent, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or agent and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after being notified of the matters incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

SECTION 6.2 Information Supplied. The Registering Party may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish such Registering

Party with such information regarding such seller and pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of such securities as such Registering Party may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

SECTION 6.3 Restrictions on Disposition. Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Registering Party of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6.1(f), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 6.1(f), and, if so directed by such Registering Party, such Holder will deliver to such Registering Party (at the Registering Party’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event such Registering Party shall give any such notice, the period mentioned in Section 6.1(b) shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 6.1(f) and to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 6.1(f).

SECTION 6.4 Indemnification. (a) In the event of any registration of any securities of a Registering Party under the Securities Act pursuant to Articles IV or V, such Registering Party shall, and it hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the seller of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, each Affiliate of such seller and their respective directors, officers, employees and stockholders or members or general and limited partners (and any director, officer, Affiliate, employee, stockholder and controlling Person of any of the foregoing), each Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls such seller or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened) in respect thereof (“Claims”) and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable expenses of investigation) to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, common law or otherwise, insofar as such Claims or expenses arise out of, relate to or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, that such Registering Party shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent that any such Claim or expense arises out of, relates to or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto or in any such preliminary, final or summary prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to such Registering Party through an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of such seller specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof; and, provided, further, that such Registering Party will not be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that the foregoing indemnity with respect to any untrue statement

contained in or omitted from a registration statement or the prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any party (or any person controlling such party) who is obligated to deliver a prospectus in transactions in a security as to which a registration statement has been filed pursuant to the Securities Act and from whom the person asserting any such Damages purchased any of the Registrable Securities to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that such Damages resulted solely from the fact that such party sold Registrable Securities to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the registration statement or the prospectus, as amended or supplemented, and (x) such Registering Party shall have previously and timely furnished sufficient copies of the registration statement or prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, to such party in accordance with this Agreement and (y) the registration statement or prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, would have corrected such untrue statement or omission of a material fact. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of securities by any seller.

(b) A Registering Party may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with Sections 4.2, 4.3 or 5.1 herein, that it shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the prospective seller of such Registrable Securities or any underwriter to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 6.4(a)) such Registering Party and all other prospective sellers or any underwriter, as the case may be, with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to such Registering Party through an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of such seller or underwriter specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary, final or summary prospectus or amendment or supplement, or a document incorporated by reference into any of the foregoing. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Registering Party or any of the prospective sellers, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or controlling Persons and shall survive the transfer of securities by any seller. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 6.4, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure of the indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Section 6.4, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action or proceeding is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment (after consultation with legal counsel) a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such action or

proceeding, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof (at its expense), jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided that, in the event, however, that the indemnifying party declines or fails to assume the defense of the action or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in either case within a 3D-day period, or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the indemnifying party is not vigorously defending such action or proceeding, then such indemnified party may employ counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the indemnifying party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel or other representative as incurred; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all indemnified parties in any jurisdiction in any single action or proceeding. No indemnifying party will settle any such action or proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, unless such settlement or judgment (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff of a release to such indemnified party from all liability in respect of such action or proceeding and (ii) does not involve the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any obligations on such indemnified party and does not otherwise adversely affect such indemnified party, other than as a result of the imposition of financial obligations for which such indemnified party will be indemnified hereunder. No indemnified party will settle any such action or proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

(d) (i) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.4 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any Claim or expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Claim or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Claim or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material factor omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party under this Section 6.4( d) as a result of the Claim and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any action or proceeding.

(ii) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 6.4(d)(i). No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of

the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Indemnification similar to that specified in this Section 6.4 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the appropriate Registering Party and each seller of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Law or with any governmental authority other than as required by the Securities Act.

(f) The obligations of the parties under this Section 6.4 shall be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party.

SECTION 6.5 Required Reports. Each of the Registering Party covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (or, if such Registering Party is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder, make publicly available such information), and it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder, appropriate Registering party will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

SECTION 6.6 Selection of Counsel. In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Articles IV or V hereof, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by any such registration may select one counsel to represent all Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration; provided, however, that in the event that the counsel selected as provided above is also acting as counsel to either of the Registering Parties in connection with such registration, the remaining Holders shall be entitled to select one additional counsel to represent all such remaining Holders.

SECTION 6.7 Holdback Agreement. If any registration under Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof or any sale of securities in connection with a registration under Section 4.1 hereof shall be in connection with an underwritten public offering, each Holder agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, of any Equity Securities of the appropriate Registering Party (in each case, other than as part of such underwritten public offering), within seven (7) days before, or ninety (90) days (or such lesser period as the managing underwriters may permit) after, the effective date of any such registration pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 or the closing of any sale of securities in connection with a registration under Section 4.1 (except as part of any such registration or sale), and each of the Registering Parties hereby also so agrees and agrees to cause each other holder of any equity security of such Registering Party purchased from such Registering Party (at any time other than in a public offering) to so agree.

SECTION 6.8 No Inconsistent Agreement. Each of the Registering Parties represents and warrants that it will not enter into, or cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to enter

into, any agreement which conflicts with or limits or prohibits the exercise of the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement.

(b) The foregoing Acquisition Restrictions will not apply if:

(i) a third party who is not an Affiliate of the Equity Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (a “Third Party”, which term shall include any Group, other than a Group which includes the Equity Purchaser or any of its Affiliates as a member) commences or publicly announces its intention to commence a bona fide tender or exchange offer for more than 15% of the outstanding Voting Securities of the Company and the Company Board does not recommend against the tender or exchange offer within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement thereof (which, in the case of an exchange offer, shall be deemed to be the effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities offered in such exchange offer or, if permitted under the Exchange Act, such earlier date selected by the offer or for commencement of the exchange offer) or such longer period as shall then be permitted under SEC rules;
