The Initial Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders in accordance with the reasonable methods of distribution elected by the Holders, reasonably approved by the Company, and set forth in the Initial Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Securities to be included in any Shelf Registration Statement registering the resale from time to time by Holders thereof of all of the Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Initial Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is practicable but in any event by the date (the “Effectiveness Deadline Date”) that is 270 days after the Issue Date, and to keep the Initial Shelf Registration Statement (or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) continuously effective under the Securities Act until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period. At the time the Initial Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, each Holder that became a Notice Holder on or prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to such time of effectiveness shall be named as a selling securityholder in the Initial Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law.
(b) If the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within ten Business Days of such cessation of effectiveness amend the Shelf Registration Statement in a manner reasonably expected to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file an additional Shelf Registration Statement covering all of the securities that as of the date of such filing are Registrable Securities (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as is practicable after such filing and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement (or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) continuously effective until the end of the Effectiveness Period.

(c) The Company shall supplement and amend the Shelf Registration Statement if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the Securities Act or as reasonably requested by the Purchasers or by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders covered by such Shelf Registration Statement.
(d) Each Holder agrees that if such Holder wishes to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus, it will do so only in accordance with this Section 2(d) and Section 3(i). Each Holder wishing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus agrees to deliver a completed and executed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company at least three Business Days prior to any attempted or actual distribution of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement; provided that (A) the Company shall send the Notice and Questionnaire to each Holder as soon as practicable, but not later than 30 Business Days prior to the Filing Deadline Date and (B) Holders shall have at least 20 Business Days from the date on which the Notice and Questionnaire is first sent to such Holders by the Company to complete and return the Notice and Questionnaire to the Company in order to be named in the Shelf Registration Statement at the time of its initial effectiveness. From and after the date the Initial Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable after the date a Notice and Questionnaire is delivered, and in any event within five Business Days after such date (subject to the proviso below), (i) if required by applicable law, file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or, if required by applicable law, prepare and file a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is practicable, but in any event by the date (the “Amendment Effectiveness Deadline Date”) that is 45 days after the date such post-effective amendment is required by this clause to be filed; (ii) provide such Holder a reasonable number of copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 2(d)(i); and (iii) notify such Holder as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 2(d)(i); provided, that if such Notice and Questionnaire is delivered during a Suspension Period, or a Suspension Period is put into effect within five Business Days after such delivery date, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and shall take the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above within ten Business Days after expiration of the Suspension Period in accordance with Section 3(i); provided, further, that in no event will the Company be required to file with the SEC (x) a supplement to the Prospectus more than once in any 20-day period or (y) a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement more than once in any 60-day period, in each case solely for the purpose of naming any Holder, who is not included in the Shelf Registration Statement, as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and
6
the related Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to name any Holder that is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in any Shelf Registration Statement or related Prospectus; provided, however, that any Holder that becomes a Notice Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(d) (whether or not such Holder was a Notice Holder at the time the Shelf Registration Statement was declared effective) shall be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or related Prospectus in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2(d).
(e) The parties hereto agree that the Holders of Registrable Securities will suffer damages, and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision, if (i) the Initial Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline Date or (ii) the Initial Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective (without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective) or usable for the offer and sale of Registrable Securities for a period of time (including any Suspension Period) which shall exceed (A) 30 consecutive days in any one time, (B) 45 days in the aggregate in any three-month period or (C) 90 days in the aggregate in any 12-month period (each of the events of a type described in any of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are individually referred to herein as an “Event,” and the Effectiveness Deadline Date in the case of clause (i), and the date on which the duration of the ineffectiveness or unusability of the Initial Shelf Registration Statement in any period exceeds the number of days permitted by clause (ii) hereof in the case of clause (ii), being referred to herein as an “Event Date”). Events shall be deemed to continue until the following dates with respect to the respective types of Events: the date the Initial Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act in the case of an Event of the type described in clause (i) and the date the Initial Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective or usable again in the case of an Event of the type described in clause (ii).
Accordingly, commencing on (and including) any Event Date and ending on (but excluding) the next date on which there are no Events that have occurred and are continuing (a “Liquidated Damages Accrual Period”), the Company agrees to pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”) at the rate described below, payable periodically on each Liquidated Damages Payment Date to Record Holders of Notes and Warrants that are convertible into Underlying Common Stock or exercisable for Warrant Shares, as applicable, that are Registrable Securities and of shares of Underlying Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes and Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants that are Registrable Securities, as the case may be, to the extent of, for each such Liquidated Damages Payment Date, accrued and unpaid Liquidated Damages to (but excluding) such Liquidated Damages Payment Date (or, if the Liquidated Damages Accrual Period shall have ended prior to such Liquidated Damages Payment Date, to the date of the end of the Liquidated Damages Accrual Period); provided that any Liquidated Damages accrued with respect to any Underlying Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Note or portion thereof called for redemption on a redemption date or converted into Underlying Common Stock
7
on a conversion date or any Warrant or portion thereof exercised into Warrant Shares on an exercise date prior to the Liquidated Damages Payment Date, shall, in any such event, be paid instead to the Holder who submitted such Note or Warrant or portion thereof for redemption, conversion or exercise, as applicable, on the applicable redemption date, conversion date or exercise date, as the case may be, on such date (or promptly following the conversion date or exercise date, in the case of conversion or exercise, as the case may be). Liquidated Damages shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to (1) 0.50% for the first 90-day period from the Event Date and (2) 1.00% thereafter of (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes and the aggregate Exercise Price of such Warrants or, without duplication, (ii) in the case of Notes that have been converted into Underlying Common Stock, the Applicable Conversion Price of such shares of Underlying Common Stock, and in the case of Warrants that have been exercised, the Exercise Price of such Warrants, as the case may be, in each case determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the next Liquidated Damages Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Liquidated Damages shall accrue as to any Registrable Security from and after the earlier of (x) the date such security is no longer a Registrable Security and (y) expiration of the Effectiveness Period. The rate of accrual of Liquidated Damages with respect to any period shall not exceed the rate provided for in this paragraph notwithstanding the occurrence of multiple concurrent Events. Following the cure of all Events requiring the payment by the Company of Liquidated Damages to the Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section, the accrual of Liquidated Damages shall cease (without in any way limiting the effect of any subsequent Event requiring the payment of Liquidated Damages by the Company). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Liquidated Damages shall only be payable to Notice Holders.
The Trustee, on behalf of Holders of Notes, and the Holders of Warrants, shall be entitled to seek any available remedy for the enforcement of this Agreement, including specific performance or equitable relief with respect to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the sole monetary damages payable for a violation of the terms of this Agreement with respect to which Liquidated Damages are expressly provided shall be such Liquidated Damages.
All of the Company’s obligations set forth in this Section 2(e) that are outstanding with respect to any Registrable Security at the time such security ceases to be a Registrable Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such security have been satisfied in full (notwithstanding termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8(k)).
The parties hereto agree that the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 2(e) constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that may be incurred by Holders of Registrable Securities by reason of the failure of the Shelf Registration Statement to be filed or declared effective or available for effecting resales of Registrable Securities in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Each Notice Holder agrees promptly to furnish to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Notice Holder not misleading and any other information regarding such Notice Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request. Any sale of any Registrable Securities by any Holder shall constitute a representation and warranty by such Holder that the information relating to such Holder and its plan of distribution is as set forth in the Prospectus delivered by such Holder in connection with such disposition, that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale contain any untrue statement of a material fact relating to or provided by such Holder or its plan of distribution and that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale omit to state any material fact relating to or provided by such Holder or its plan of distribution necessary in order to make the statements in such Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, if any.
Section 5. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the performance by the Company of its obligations under Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement whether or not any of the Shelf Registration Statements are declared effective. Such fees and expenses (“Registration Expenses”) shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (x) with respect to filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and (y) of compliance with federal and state securities or Blue Sky laws, (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company), (iii) duplication and mailing expenses relating to copies of any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus delivered to any Holders hereunder, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares constituting Registrable Securities (with Holders of Notes deemed to be the Holders, for purposes of this Section, of the number of outstanding shares of Underlying Common Stock into which such Notes are or would be convertible, not including, for this purpose only, any shares of Common Stock payable as a Make-Whole Premium upon conversion of any Note and Holders of Warrants deemed to be Holders, for purposes of this Section, of the number of outstanding Warrant Shares into which such Warrants are or would be exercisable) in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, and (v) fees and disbursements of the registrar and transfer agent for the Common Stock. In addition, the Company shall pay the internal expenses of the Company (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and employees performing legal or accounting
14
duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing by the Company of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange on which similar securities of the Company are then listed and the fees and expenses of any person, including special experts, retained by the Company.
Section 6. Indemnification; Contribution.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its directors, officers, employees, members, representatives and agents and each person, if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a “Holder Indemnified Party”), from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which such Holder Indemnified Party may incur under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, or any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, or otherwise, as incurred, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement, or in any Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, however, that: (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in, or omitted from, and in conformity with information required to be used in any Shelf Registration Statement, related prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto pursuant to the Securities Act furnished in writing by or on behalf of the applicable Holder Indemnified Party to the Company expressly for use in a Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto; and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission of material fact made in the Shelf Registration Statement, or in any Prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not inure to the benefit of a Holder Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact was corrected in amendments or supplements to the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such corrected Prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(g) hereof, and the Holder Indemnified Party was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim and such Holder Indemnified Party, notwithstanding such advice, used it. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have. This indemnity agreement will not apply to any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arising from an offer or sale, occurring during a Suspension Period, of Registrable Securities by a Notice Holder who has previously received notice from the Company of the commencement of the Suspension Period pursuant to Section 3(i).
15
(b) Each Holder, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, employees, members, representatives and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which such Company Indemnified Party may incur under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder to the Company required to be included in any Shelf Registration Statement, or in any Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in any Shelf Registration Statement or in any amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements in any Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in connection with such information; provided, however, that no such Holder shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.
(c) If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 6, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding with one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such Proceeding; provided, however, that failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability hereunder except to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a result thereof, but in no event shall such Indemnifying Party be relieved from any liability which it may otherwise have separate from these indemnification provisions. Such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnified Party is a Holder of Notes representing not less than 33% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, (ii) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (iii) the Indemnifying Party has failed within a reasonable time after receipt of notice to assume defense of a Proceeding to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or (iv) the named parties in any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party proposes to have the same counsel represent it and the Indemnified Party, and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party may be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in
16
addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in accordance with the foregoing sentence, and that all such fees and expenses actually incurred shall be promptly reimbursed as incurred upon delivery to the Indemnifying Party of reasonable documentation therefor setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested the Indemnifying Party to reimburse the Indemnified Party as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 Business Days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such Indemnified Party shall have given such Indemnifying Party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and without admission of fault by the Indemnified Party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 6 in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the other hand from the offering of the Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Holders on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, neither any of the Purchasers nor any Holder shall be required to indemnify or contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities sold by such Holder or Purchaser, as the case may be, exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder or Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Holders on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses,
17
damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to above shall be deemed to include any reasonable legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any Proceeding.
(e) The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 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 subsection (d) above. 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. The Holders’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the respective amount of Registrable Securities they have sold pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity,
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or any person controlling any Holder, the Company or the Company’s officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) the sale of any Registrable Security by any Holder.
(g) Section 6 of this Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the Indemnified Party affected thereby.
Section 7. Information Requirements.
(a) The Company covenants that, if at any time before the end of the Effectiveness Period it is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it will cooperate with any Holder and take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request in writing, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S and Regulation D under the Securities Act and customarily taken in connection with sales pursuant to such exemptions. Upon the written request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such filing requirements, unless such a statement has been included in the Company’s most recent report filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities (other than the Common Stock) under any section of the Exchange Act.
(b) The Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and shall comply with all other requirements set forth in the instructions to Form S-1 or Form S-3, as the case may be, in order to allow the Company to be eligible to file registration statements on Form S-1 or Form S-3.
18
Section 8. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Contrary Agreements. The Company is not, as of the date hereof, a party to, nor shall it, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that violates the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement. The Company represents and warrants that the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder do not in any way violate the rights granted to the holders of such Company’s securities under any other agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders acknowledge that the Company is obligated, and may obligate itself from time to time in the future, to register its securities for other holders.
(b) Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(g), and except with respect to the Company’s obligations to pay Liquidated Damages (as to which the consent of each holder affected by any amendment, modification or supplement thereto shall be required to consent), the provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of (x) a majority of the then outstanding Underlying Common Stock constituting Registrable Securities (with Holders of Notes deemed to be the Holders, for purposes of this Section, of the number of outstanding shares of Underlying Common Stock into which such Notes are or would be convertible as of the date on which such consent is requested excluding, for this purpose only, any shares of Common Stock payable as a Make-Whole Premium upon conversion of any Note) with respect to any amendment, modification or supplement related to the Underlying Common Stock, and (y) a majority of the then outstanding Warrant Shares constituting Registrable Securities (with Holders of Warrants deemed to be the Holders, for purposes of this Section, of the number of outstanding Warrant Shares into which such Warrants are or would be exercisable as of the date on which such consent is requested) with respect to any amendment, modification or supplement related to the Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders of Registrable Securities may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement; provided that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence. Each Holder at the time of any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent or thereafter shall be bound by any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 8(b), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent appears on the Registrable Securities or is delivered to such Holder.
(c) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, by telecopier, by courier

ANNEX A
i2 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
FORM OF SELLING SECURITYHOLDER NOTICE AND QUESTIONNAIRE
To be named as a selling securityholder in the prospectus, beneficial owners shall complete and deliver this Notice and Questionnaire within 20 business days after the date of the written request therefor by i2 Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Registrant”). Beneficial owners that do not complete this Notice and Questionnaire and deliver it to the Company within such 20 business day period will not be eligible to be named as selling securityholders in the prospectus and therefore will not be permitted to sell any Registrable Securities (as defined below) pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (as defined below).
The undersigned beneficial owner of 5% Senior Convertible Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”) of the Company, Warrants of the Company or common stock of the Company, par value $0.00025 per share (the “common stock” or the “Registrable Securities”), understands that the Registrant has filed or intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Registrable Securities, in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 23, 2005 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), between the Company and the purchasers named therein. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is available from the Company upon request at the address set forth below. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Each beneficial owner of Registrable Securities is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. In order to sell or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, a beneficial owner of Registrable Securities generally will be required to be named as a selling securityholder in the related prospectus, deliver a prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities and be bound by those provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement applicable to such beneficial owner (including certain indemnification provisions, as described below). Beneficial owners that do not complete this Notice and Questionnaire and deliver it to the Company within the 20 business day period described in the first paragraph of this Notice and Questionnaire will not be named as selling securityholders in the prospectus at the time of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement and therefore will not be permitted to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until they are later named as selling securityholders in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. Beneficial owners are encouraged to complete and timely deliver this Notice and Questionnaire so that such beneficial owners may be named as selling securityholders in the related prospectus at the time of effectiveness. Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus. Accordingly, holders and beneficial owners of Registrable Securities are advised to consult their
own securities law counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus.

The undersigned beneficial owner (the “Selling Securityholder”) of Registrable Securities hereby gives notice to the Company of its intention to sell or otherwise dispose of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by it and listed below in Item 3 (unless otherwise specified under such Item 3) pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.
