REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
The Company represents and warrants to Treasury that as of the Signing Date and as of the
Closing Date (or such other date specified herein):
2.1 Organization, Authority and Significant Subsidiaries. The Company has been duly
incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization, with the necessary power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and
conduct its business as it is being currently conducted, and except as has not, individually or in
the aggregate, had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect,
has been duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is in good
standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties or
conducts any business so as to require such qualification; each subsidiary of the Company that
would be considered a “significant subsidiary” within the meaning of Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X
under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), has been duly organized and is validly
existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. The Charter and
bylaws of the Company, copies of which have been provided to Treasury prior to the Signing Date,
are true, complete and correct copies of such documents as in full force and effect as of the
Signing Date and as of the Closing Date.
2.2 Capitalization. The outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been
duly authorized and are validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and subject
to no preemptive or similar rights (and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights). As
of the Signing Date, the Company does not have outstanding any securities or other obligations
providing the holder the right to acquire its common stock (“Common Stock”) or other capital stock
that is not reserved for issuance as
specified in Part 2.2 of the Disclosure Schedule, and the Company has not made any other
commitment to authorize, issue or sell any Common Stock or other capital stock. Since the last day
of the fiscal period covered by the last Call Report filed by
Annex C (General Terms and Conditions) | Page 6 |
the Company or the IDI
Subsidiary(ies) prior to the Application Date (the “Capitalization Date”), the Company has not (a)
declared, and has no present intention of declaring, any dividends on its Common Stock in a
per-share amount greater than the per-share amount of declared dividends that are reflected in such
Call Report; (b) declared, and has no present intention of declaring (except as contemplated by the
Certificate of Designation) any dividends on any of its preferred stock in a per-share amount
greater than the per-share amount of declared dividends that are reflected in such Call Report; or
(c) issued any shares of Common Stock or other capital stock, other than (i) shares issued upon the

securities or warrants which were issued and outstanding on the Capitalization Date and disclosed
in Part 2.2 of the Disclosure Schedule, (ii) shares disclosed in Part 2.2 of the Disclosure
Schedule, and (iii) if the Company is Matching Private Investment-Supported, shares or other
capital stock representing Matching Private Investment disclosed in the “Matching Private
Investment” section of Annex A. Except as disclosed in Part 2.2 of the Disclosure
Schedule, the Company has no agreements providing for the accelerated exercise, settlement or
exchange of any capital stock of the Company for Common Stock. Each holder of 5% or more of any
class of capital stock of the Company and such holder’s primary address are set forth in Part 2.2
of the Disclosure Schedule. The Company has received a representation from each Matching Private
Investor that such Matching Private Investor has not received or applied for any investment from
the SBLF, and the Company has no reason to believe that any such representation is inaccurate. If
the Company is a Bank Holding Company or a Savings and Loan Holding Company, (x) the percentage of
each IDI Subsidiary’s issued and outstanding capital stock that is owned by the Company is set
forth on Part 2.2 of the Disclosure Schedule; and (y) all shares of issued and outstanding capital
stock of the IDI Subsidiary(ies) owned by the Company are free and clear of all liens, security
interests, charges or encumbrances. Since the Application Date, there has been no change in the
organizational hierarchy information regarding the Company that was available on the Application
Date from the National Information Center of the Federal Reserve System.

on the part of the Company. This Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to any limitations of

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance by the Company with the
provisions hereof, will not (i) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of,
or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute
a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or
result in a right of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation of, any lien,
security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company (each subsidiary, a “Company Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Company
Subsidiaries”) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (A) its organizational documents
or (B) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other
instrument or obligation to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which it

the properties or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary may be subject, or (ii) subject
to compliance with the statutes and regulations referred to in the next paragraph, violate any
statute, rule or regulation or any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree applicable
to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets except, in

jurisdiction of organization or other applicable Governmental Entity, such filings and approvals as
are required to be made or obtained under any state “blue sky” laws and such as have been made or
obtained, no notice to, filing with, exemption or review by, or authorization, consent or approval
of, any Governmental Entity is required to be made or obtained by the Company in connection with
the consummation by the Company of the Purchase except for any such notices, filings, exemptions,
reviews, authorizations, consents and approvals the failure of which to make or obtain would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
2.6 Anti-takeover Provisions and Rights Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company
(the “Board of Directors”) has taken all necessary action to ensure that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will be exempt from any anti-takeover or
similar provisions of the Company’s Charter and bylaws, and any other provisions of any applicable
“moratorium”, “control share”, “fair price”, “interested stockholder” or other anti-takeover laws
and regulations of any jurisdiction.

(a) Since December 31, 2007, the Company and each Company Subsidiary has filed all reports,
registrations, documents, filings, statements and submissions, together with any amendments
thereto, that it was required to file with any Governmental Entity (the foregoing, collectively,
the “Company Reports”) and has paid all fees and assessments due and payable in connection
therewith, except, in each case, as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. As of their respective dates of filing, the
Company Reports complied in all material respects with all statutes and applicable rules and
regulations of the applicable Governmental Entities.
(b) The records, systems, controls, data and information of the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including any electronic,
mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are under the exclusive
ownership and direct control of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or their accountants
(including all means of access thereto and therefrom), except for any non-exclusive ownership and

information relating to the Company, including the consolidated Company Subsidiaries, is made known
to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company by others within
those entities, and (ii) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the Signing

significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature (absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise) which are not properly reflected in the Company Financial Statements to the extent

Company Material Adverse Effect.

has taken any action (including any offering of any securities of the Company under circumstances
which would require the integration of such offering with the offering of any of the Preferred
Shares under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) promulgated thereunder), which might subject the offering, issuance or sale

to such institution-affiliated party, could result in such institution-affiliated party being
prohibited from participation in the conduct of the affairs of any financial institution or holding
company of any financial institution and, to the Company’s knowledge, there are no facts or
circumstances could reasonably be expected to provide a basis for any such claim, action, suit,
investigation or proceeding.

party or (C) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished (and
without violation of any other confidentiality obligation)); provided that nothing herein shall

regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process. Treasury understands that the Information

the need for any further act on the part of any person or entity. If any such modification

of the Exchange Act, it shall comply with the terms and conditions set forth in Annex E or

(j) Outreach to Minorities, Women and Veterans. The Company shall comply with Section
4103(d)(8) of the SBJA.

been convicted of a sex offense against a minor (as such terms are defined in section 111 of the
Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, 42 U.S.C. §16911). The Company shall retain all
such certifications in accordance with standard recordkeeping practices established by the
Appropriate Federal Banking Agency.
3.2 Negative Covenants. The Company hereby covenants and agrees with Treasury that:
(a) Certain Transactions.
(i) The Company shall not merge or consolidate with, or sell, transfer or lease all or
substantially all of its property or assets to, any other party unless the successor, transferee or

condition of this Agreement to be performed and observed by the Company.
(ii) Without the prior written consent of Treasury, until such time as Treasury shall cease to
own any Preferred Shares, the Company shall not permit any of its “significant subsidiaries” (as

consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar transaction following the consummation of which
such significant subsidiary is not wholly-owned by the Company, (B) dissolve or sell all or
substantially all of its assets or property other than in connection with an internal
reorganization or consolidation involving wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company or (C) issue or

it shall not violate any of the restrictions on dividends, distributions, redemptions, repurchases,
acquisitions and related actions set forth in the Certificate of Designation, which are

equity securities of the Company, including the Preferred Shares, the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries shall not enter into transactions with Affiliates or related persons (within the
meaning of Item 404 under the SEC’s Regulation S-K) unless (A) such transactions are on terms no
less favorable to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries than could be obtained from an
unaffiliated third party, and (B) have been approved by the audit committee of the Board of
Directors or comparable body of independent directors of the Company, or if there are no
independent directors, the Board of Directors, provided that the Board of Directors shall maintain

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
4.1 Purchase for Investment. Treasury acknowledges that the Preferred Shares have not
been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws. Treasury (a) is
acquiring the Preferred Shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act
solely for investment with no present intention to distribute them to any person in violation of
the Securities Act or any applicable U.S. state securities laws, (b) will not sell or otherwise
dispose of any of the Preferred Shares, except in compliance with the registration requirements or
exemption provisions of the Securities Act and any applicable U.S. state securities laws, and (c)
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and in investments of this type
that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Purchase and of making an informed
investment decision.
4.2 Legends. (a) Treasury agrees that all certificates or other instruments
representing the Preferred Shares will bear a legend substantially to the following effect:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE NOT SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, DEPOSITS OR
OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF A BANK AND ARE NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF
ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A
REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT
OR SUCH
LAWS. EACH PURCHASER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT IS NOTIFIED
THAT THE SELLER MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT
PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER (THE “144A EXEMPTION”). IF ANY TRANSFEREE OF THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT IS ADVISED BY THE TRANSFEROR THAT SUCH
TRANSFEROR IS RELYING ON THE 144A EXEMPTION, SUCH TRANSFEREE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE
HEREOF (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN
RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT), (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT
TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH IS THEN EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (B)
FOR SO LONG AS THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE
PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED
INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE
Annex C (General Terms and Conditions) | Page 21 |
SECURITIES ACT THAT PURCHASES
FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM
NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (C) TO THE
ISSUER OR (D) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL GIVE TO EACH PERSON
TO WHOM THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE TRANSFERRED A NOTICE
SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND.
THIS INSTRUMENT IS ISSUED SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER
PROVISIONS OF A SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES
AND TREASURY, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE ISSUER. THE SECURITIES
REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN
COMPLIANCE WITH SAID AGREEMENT. ANY SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH
SAID AGREEMENT WILL BE VOID.”
(b) In the event that any Preferred Shares (i) become registered under the Securities Act or
(ii) are eligible to be transferred without restriction in accordance with Rule 144 or another
exemption from registration under the Securities Act (other than Rule 144A), the Company shall
issue new certificates or other instruments representing such Preferred Shares, which shall not
contain the applicable legends in Section 4.2(a) above; provided that Treasury surrenders to the
Company the previously issued certificates or other instruments.
4.3 Transfer of Preferred Shares. Subject to compliance with applicable securities
laws, Treasury shall be permitted to transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”)
all or a portion of the Preferred Shares at any time, and the Company shall take all steps as may
be reasonably requested by Treasury to facilitate the
Transfer of the Preferred Shares, including without limitation, as set forth in Section 4.4,
provided that Treasury shall not Transfer any Preferred Shares if such transfer would require the
Company to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the Company was not already subject to
such requirements. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall provide reasonable
cooperation to facilitate any Transfers of the Preferred Shares, including, as is reasonable under
the circumstances, by furnishing such information concerning the Company and its business as a
proposed transferee may reasonably request and making management of the Company reasonably
available to respond to questions of a proposed transferee in accordance with customary practice,
subject in all cases to the proposed transferee agreeing to a customary confidentiality agreement.
4.4 Rule 144; Rule 144A; 4(11/2) Transactions. (a) At all times after the Signing Date,
the Company covenants that (1) it will, upon the request of Treasury or any subsequent holders of
the Preferred Shares (“Holders”), use its reasonable best efforts to (x), to the extent any Holder
is relying on Rule 144 under the Securities Act to sell any of the Preferred Shares, make “current
public information” available, as provided in Section (c)(1) of Rule 144 (if the Company is a
“Reporting Issuer” within the meaning of Rule 144) or in Section (c)(2) of Rule
Annex C (General Terms and Conditions) | Page 22 |
144 (if the Company
is a “Non-Reporting Issuer” within the meaning of Rule 144), in either case for such time period as
necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144, (y), to the extent any Holder is relying on the
so-called “Section 4(11/2)” exemption to sell any of its Preferred Shares, prepare and provide to
such Holder such information, including the preparation of private offering memoranda or circulars
or financial information, as the Holder may reasonably request to enable the sale of the Preferred
Shares pursuant to such exemption, or (z) to the extent any Holder is relying on Rule 144A under
the Securities Act to sell any of its Preferred Shares, prepare and provide to such Holder the
information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4), and (2) it will take such further action as any
Holder may reasonably request from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Preferred Shares
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemptions provided by
(i) the provisions of the Securities Act or any interpretations thereof or related thereto by the
SEC, including transactions based on the so-called “Section 4(11/2)” and other similar transactions,
(ii) Rule 144 or 144A under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or
(iii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC; provided that the Company shall
not be required to take any action described in this Section 4.4(a) that would cause the Company to
become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the
Company was not subject to such requirements prior to taking such action. Upon the request of any
Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied
with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.
(b) The Company agrees to indemnify Treasury, Treasury’s officials, officers, employees,
agents, representatives and Affiliates, and each person, if any, that controls Treasury within the
meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnitee”), against any and all losses, claims, damages,
actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of
attorneys and other professionals incurred in connection with investigating, defending, settling,
compromising or paying any such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses),
joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
material fact contained in any document or report provided by the
Company pursuant to this Section 4.4 or any omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
(c) If the indemnification provided for in Section 4.4(b) is unavailable to an Indemnitee with
respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein
or is insufficient to hold the Indemnitee harmless as contemplated therein, then the Company, in
lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitee, on the one hand,
and the Company, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted
in such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the
Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors, whether
the untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or by the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; the Company and
Treasury agree that it would not be just and
Annex C (General Terms and Conditions) | Page 23 |
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section
4.4(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 4.4(b). No Indemnitee guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall
be entitled to contribution from the Company if the Company was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
4.5 Depositary Shares. Upon request by Treasury at any time following the Closing
Date, the Company shall promptly enter into a depositary arrangement, pursuant to customary
agreements reasonably satisfactory to Treasury and with a depositary reasonably acceptable to
Treasury, pursuant to which the Preferred Shares may be deposited and depositary shares, each
representing a fraction of a Preferred Share, as specified by Treasury, may be issued. From and
after the execution of any such depositary arrangement, and the deposit of any Preferred Shares, as
applicable, pursuant thereto, the depositary shares issued pursuant thereto shall be deemed
“Preferred Shares” and, as applicable, “Registrable Securities” for purposes of this Agreement.
4.6 Expenses and Further Assurances. (a) Unless otherwise provided in this
Agreement, each of the parties hereto will bear and pay all costs and expenses incurred by it or on
its behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including fees
and expenses of its own financial or other consultants, investment bankers, accountants and
counsel.
(b) The Company shall, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, (i) furnish to Treasury all
instruments, documents and other agreements required to be furnished by the Company pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any documents required to be delivered
pursuant to Section 4.4 above, or which are reasonably requested by Treasury in connection
therewith; (ii) execute and deliver to Treasury such documents, instruments, certificates,
assignments and other writings, and do such other acts necessary or desirable, to evidence,
preserve and/or protect the Preferred Shares purchased by Treasury, as
Treasury may reasonably require; and (iii) do and execute all and such further lawful and
reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the
intents and purposes of this Agreement, as Treasury shall reasonably require from time to time.

5.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation nor
liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by any party hereto without the
prior written consent of the other party, and any attempt to assign any right, remedy, obligation
or liability hereunder without such consent shall be void, except (a) an assignment, in the case of
a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar transaction that requires the approval
of the Company’s stockholders (a “Business Combination”) where such party is not the surviving
entity, or a sale of substantially all of its assets, to the entity which is the survivor of such
Business Combination or the purchaser in such sale, (b) an assignment of certain rights as provided
in Sections 3.1(c) or 3.1(h) or Annex E or (c) an assignment by Treasury of this Agreement

obligations of Treasury hereunder shall continue and be enforceable by such Affiliate, (ii) the
Company’s obligations and liabilities hereunder shall continue to be outstanding and (iii) all
references to Treasury herein shall be deemed to be references to such Affiliate.
5.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to
any person or circumstance, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void
or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to persons
or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby,
so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected
in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such
determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable
and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.
5.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Other than as expressly provided herein, nothing
contained in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person or entity
other than the Company and Treasury (and any Indemnitee) any benefit, right or remedies.
5.11 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in
the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their
specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled (without the necessity
of posting a bond) to specific performance of the terms hereof, this being in addition to any other
remedies to which they are entitled at law or equity.
5.12 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to “Articles” or
“Sections” such reference shall be to an Article or Section of the Annex of this Agreement in which
such reference is contained, unless otherwise indicated. When a reference is made in this
Agreement to an “Annex”, such reference shall be to an Annex to this Agreement, unless otherwise
indicated. The terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural,
and vice versa. References to “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and the like refer to this Agreement
as a whole and not to any particular section or provision, unless the context requires otherwise.
The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and
are not part of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or
Annex C (General Terms and Conditions) | Page 27 |
“including” are used in
this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. No rule of
construction against the draftsperson shall be applied in connection with the interpretation or
enforcement of this Agreement, as this Agreement is entered into between sophisticated parties
advised by counsel. All references to “$” or “dollars” mean the lawful currency of the United
States of America. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, all references to any statute,
rule or regulation are to the statute, rule or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented or
replaced from time to time (and, in the case of statutes, include any rules and regulations
promulgated under the statute) and to any section of any statute, rule or regulation include any
successor to the section. References to a “business day” shall mean any day except Saturday,
Sunday and any day on which banking institutions in the State of New York or the District of
Columbia generally are authorized or required by law or other governmental actions to close.

forfeiture.
(d) “Register”, “registered”, and “registration” shall refer to a registration effected by

foregoing clause (A) by way of conversion, exercise or exchange thereof, or share dividend or share

(3) they have been sold in any transaction in which the transferor’s rights under this Agreement
are not assigned to the transferee of the securities. No Registrable Securities may be registered

Company or Company Subsidiaries or in connection with dividend reinvestment plans.
2. Registration.
(a) The Company covenants and agrees that as promptly as practicable after the date that the
Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
(and in any event no later than 30 days thereafter), the Company shall prepare and file with the
SEC a Shelf Registration Statement covering all Registrable Securities (or otherwise designate an
existing shelf registration on an appropriate form under Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a
"Shelf Registration Statement”) filed with the SEC to cover the Registrable Securities), and, to
the extent the Shelf Registration Statement has not theretofore been declared effective or is not
automatically effective upon such filing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause
such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared or become effective and to keep such Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and usable
for resale of such Registrable Securities for a period from the date of its initial effectiveness
until such time as there are no Registrable Securities remaining (including by refiling such Shelf
Registration Statement (or a new Shelf Registration Statement) if the initial Shelf Registration
Statement expires). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is not eligible to file a
registration statement on Form S-3, then the Company shall not be obligated to file a Shelf
Registration Statement unless and until requested to do so in writing by Treasury.
(b) Any registration pursuant to Section 2(a) of this Annex E shall be effected by
means of a Shelf Registration Statement on an appropriate form under Rule 415 under the Securities
Act (a “Shelf Registration Statement”). If any Holder intends to distribute any Registrable
Securities by means of an underwritten offering it shall promptly so advise the Company and the
Company shall take all reasonable steps to facilitate such distribution, including the actions
required pursuant to Section 2(d) of this Annex E; provided that the Company shall not be
required to facilitate an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities unless (i) the expected
gross proceeds from such offering exceed $200,000 or (ii) such underwritten offering includes all
of the outstanding Registrable Securities held by such Holder.
Annex E (Registration Rights) | Page 2 |
The lead underwriters in any such distribution shall be selected by the Holders of a majority
of the Registrable Securities to be distributed.
(c) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration (including a resale of
Registrable Securities from an effective Shelf Registration Statement) or an underwritten offering
pursuant to Section 2 of this Annex E: (A) with respect to securities that are not
Registrable Securities; or (B) if the Company has notified all Holders that in the good faith
judgment of the Board of Directors, it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its
security holders for such registration or underwritten offering to be effected at such time, in
which event the Company shall have the right to defer such registration for a period of not more
than 45 days after receipt of the request of any Holder; provided that such right to delay a
registration or underwritten offering shall be exercised by the Company (1) only if the Company has
generally exercised (or is concurrently exercising) similar black-out rights against holders of
similar securities that have registration rights and (2) not more than three times in any 12-month
period and not more than 90 days in the aggregate in any 12-month period.
(d) If during any period when an effective Shelf Registration Statement is not available, the
Company proposes to register any of its equity securities, other than a registration pursuant to
Section 2(a) of this Annex E or a Special Registration, and the registration form to be
filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of Registrable Securities,
the Company will give prompt written notice to all Holders of its intention to effect such a
registration (but in no event less than ten days prior to the anticipated filing date) and will
include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has
received written requests for inclusion therein within ten business days after the date of the
Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Any such person that has made such a written
request may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written
notice to the Company and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth business day
prior to the planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company may terminate or
withdraw any registration under this Section 2(d) of this Annex E prior to the
effectiveness of such registration, whether or not any Holders have elected to include Registrable
Securities in such registration.
(e) If the registration referred to in Section 2(d) of this Annex E is proposed to be
underwritten, the Company will so advise all Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant
to Section 2(d) of this Annex E. In such event, the right of all Holders to registration
pursuant to Section 2 of this Annex E will be conditioned upon such persons’ participation
in such underwriting and the inclusion of such person’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting
if such securities are of the same class of securities as the securities to be offered in the
underwritten offering, and each such person will (together with the Company and the other persons
distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company;
provided that Treasury (as opposed to other Holders) shall not be required to indemnify any person
in connection with any registration. If any participating person disapproves of the terms of the
underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the
managing underwriters and Treasury (if Treasury is participating in the underwriting).
Annex E (Registration Rights) | Page 3 |
(f) If either (x) the Company grants “piggyback” registration rights to one or more
third parties to include their securities in an underwritten offering under the Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Annex E or (y) a Piggyback Registration under
Section 2(d) of this Annex E relates to an underwritten offering on behalf of the Company,
and in either case the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable opinion
the number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number which can be
sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on
the per share offering price), the Company will include in such offering only such number of
securities that in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriters can be sold without
adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share
offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (A)
first, in the case of a Piggyback Registration under Section 2(d) of this Annex E, the
securities the Company proposes to sell, (B) then the Registrable Securities of all Holders who
have requested inclusion of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(b) or Section 2(d) of this
Annex E, as applicable, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of such securities or
shares owned by each such Holder and (C) lastly, any other securities of the Company that have been
requested to be so included, subject to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the
Company has, prior to the Signing Date, entered into an agreement with respect to its securities
that is inconsistent with the order of priority contemplated hereby then it shall apply the order
of priority in such conflicting agreement to the extent that it would otherwise result in a breach
under such agreement.
3. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with
any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder shall be borne by the Company. All Selling
Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder shall be borne by the holders of
the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the aggregate offering or sale price of the
securities so registered.
4. Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any
Registrable Securities or facilitate the distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to an
effective Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
practicable:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment with
respect to a proposed offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective registration
statement, subject to Section 4 of this Annex E, keep such registration statement effective
and keep such prospectus supplement current until the securities described therein are no longer
Registrable Securities.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the applicable
registration statement and the prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.
(c) Furnish to the Holders and any underwriters such number of copies of the applicable
registration statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (including in
Annex E (Registration Rights) | Page 4 |
each case all exhibits) and of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in
order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned or to be distributed by them.
(d) Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such
registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall
be reasonably requested by the Holders or any managing underwriter(s), to keep such registration or
qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect, and to take
any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable such seller to consummate the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such Holder; provided that the Company
shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business
or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(e) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a
result of which the applicable prospectus, 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 light of the circumstances then existing.
(f) Give written notice to the Holders:
(i) when any registration statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC
(except for any amendment effected by the filing of a document with the SEC pursuant to the
Exchange Act) and when such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has
become effective;
(ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or
the prospectus included therein or for additional information;
(iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any
registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;
(iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the qualification of the applicable Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;
(v) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in any effective
registration statement or the prospectus related to the registration statement in order to make the
statements therein not misleading (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend
the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made); and
(vi) if at any time the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any
underwriting agreement contemplated by Section 4(j) of this Annex E cease to be true and
correct.
Annex E (Registration Rights) | Page 5 |
(g) Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any
order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement referred to in Section 4(f)(iii)
of this Annex E at the earliest practicable time.
(h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4(e) or 4(f)(v) of this Annex
E, promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a supplement
to the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to
the Holders and any underwriters, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in
accordance with Section 4(f)(v) to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to
the prospectus have been made, then the Holders and any underwriters shall suspend use of such
prospectus and use their reasonable best efforts to return to the Company all copies of such
prospectus (at the Company’s expense) other than permanent file copies then in such Holders’ or
underwriters’ possession. The total number of days that any such suspension may be in effect in
any 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days.
(i) Use reasonable best efforts to procure the cooperation of the Company’s transfer agent in
settling any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including with respect to the transfer of
physical stock certificates into book-entry form in accordance with any procedures reasonably
requested by the Holders or any managing underwriter(s).
(j) If an underwritten offering is requested pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Annex E,
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, scope and substance and take all such other
actions reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold
in connection therewith or by the managing underwriter(s), if any, to expedite or facilitate the
underwritten disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in connection therewith in any
underwritten offering (including making members of management and executives of the Company
available to participate in “road shows”, similar sales events and other marketing activities), (A)
make such representations and warranties to the Holders that are selling stockholders and the
managing underwriter(s), if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries,
and the Shelf Registration Statement, prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in customary form, substance and scope, and, if
true, confirm the same if and when requested, (B) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish the
underwriters with opinions of counsel to the Company, addressed to the managing underwriter(s), if
any, covering the matters customarily covered in such opinions requested in underwritten offerings,
(C) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters from the independent certified
public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public
accountants of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial
data are included in the Shelf Registration Statement) who have certified the financial statements
included in such Shelf Registration Statement, addressed to each of the managing underwriter(s), if
any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in
“cold comfort” letters, (D) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall contain
indemnification provisions and procedures customary in underwritten offerings (provided that
Treasury shall not be obligated to provide any indemnity), and (E) deliver such documents and
certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities being sold in
Annex E (Registration Rights) | Page 6 |
connection therewith, their counsel and the managing underwriter(s), if
any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties made pursuant to
clause (A) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the
underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company.
(k) Make available for inspection by a representative of Holders that are selling
stockholders, the managing underwriter(s), if any, and any attorneys or accountants retained by
such Holders or managing underwriter(s), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable
business hours, financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
Company, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information
in each case reasonably requested (and of the type customarily provided in connection with due
diligence conducted in connection with a registered public offering of securities) by any such
representative, managing underwriter(s), attorney or accountant in connection with such Shelf
Registration Statement.
(l) Use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each
national securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or,
if no similar securities issued by the Company are then listed on any national securities exchange,
use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on such
securities exchange as Treasury may designate.
(m) If requested by Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered
and/or sold in connection therewith, or the managing underwriter(s), if any, promptly include in a
prospectus supplement or amendment such information as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities being registered and/or sold in connection therewith or managing underwriter(s), if any,
may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities
and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such amendment as soon as
practicable after the Company has received such request.
(n) Timely provide to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.
Annex E (Registration Rights) | Page 7 |
5. Suspension of Sales. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a
registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement contains or may contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits or may omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that circumstances exist that
make inadvisable use of such registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement, each
Holder of Registrable Securities shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
until such Holder has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus or prospectus
supplement, or until such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the
prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement may be resumed, and, if so directed by the
Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than
permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus and, if
applicable, prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of
receipt of such notice. The total number of days that any such suspension may be in effect in any
12-month period shall not exceed 90 days.
6. Termination of Registration Rights. A Holder’s registration rights as to any
securities held by such Holder (and its Affiliates, partners, members and former members) shall not
be available unless such securities are Registrable Securities.
7. Furnishing Information.
(a) No Holder shall use any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) in connection
with the sale of Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Company.
(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action
pursuant to Section 4 of this Annex E that the selling Holders and the underwriters, if
any, shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities
held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to
effect the registered offering of their Registrable Securities.
8. Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify each Holder and, if a Holder is a person other than an
individual, such Holder’s officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates,
and in the case of Treasury, Treasury’s officials, and each person, if any, that controls a Holder
within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnitee”), against any and all losses,
claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of attorneys and other professionals incurred in connection with investigating,
defending, settling, compromising or paying any such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities,
costs and expenses), joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, including any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements
thereto or any documents incorporated therein by reference or contained in any free writing
prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule 405) prepared by the Company or authorized by it in
writing for use by such Holder (or any amendment or supplement thereto); or any omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
Annex E (Registration Rights) | Page 8 |
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the
Company shall not be liable to such Indemnitee in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or
is based upon (A) an untrue statement or omission made in such registration statement, including
any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any such amendments or
supplements thereto or contained in any free writing prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule
405) prepared by the Company or authorized by it in writing for use by such Holder (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with information regarding
such Indemnitee or its plan of distribution or ownership interests which was furnished in writing
to the Company by such Indemnitee for use in connection with such registration statement, including
any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto, or (B) offers or sales effected by or
on behalf of such Indemnitee “by means of” (as defined in Rule 159A) a “free writing prospectus”
(as defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the Company.
(b) If the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) of this Annex E is unavailable
to an Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or
expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the Indemnitee harmless as contemplated
therein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages, actions,
liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs
or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
Company, on the one hand, and of the Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by
reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or omission to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Indemnitee and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission; the Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(b) of this Annex E were determined by
pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(a) of this Annex E. No Indemnitee guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall
be entitled to contribution from the Company if the Company was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
9. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of Treasury to registration of
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 of this Annex E may be assigned by Treasury to
a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities; provided, however, the transferor shall, within
ten days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such
transferee or assignee and the number and type of Registrable Securities that are being assigned.
10. Clear Market. With respect to any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities
by Holders pursuant to this Annex E, the Company agrees not to effect (other than pursuant
to such registration or pursuant to a Special Registration) any public sale or distribution, or to
file any Shelf Registration Statement (other than such registration or a Special Registration)
covering
Annex E (Registration Rights) | Page 9 |
any preferred stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for preferred stock of the Company, during the period not to exceed ten days prior and
60 days following the effective date of such offering or such longer period up to 90 days as may be
requested by the managing underwriter for such underwritten offering. The Company also agrees to
cause such of its directors and senior executive officers to execute and deliver customary lock-up
agreements in such form and for such time period up to 90 days as may be requested by the managing
underwriter.
11. Forfeiture of Rights. At any time, any holder of Registrable Securities
(including any Holder) may elect to forfeit its rights set forth in this Annex E from that
date forward; provided, that a Holder forfeiting such rights shall nonetheless be entitled to
participate under
Section 2(d) — (f) of this Annex E in any Pending Underwritten Offering to the same
extent that such Holder would have been entitled to if the Holder had not withdrawn; and provided,
further, that no such forfeiture shall terminate a Holder’s rights or obligations under Section 7
of this Annex E with respect to any prior registration or Pending Underwritten Offering.
12. Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no
adequate remedy at law if the Company fails to perform any of its obligations under this Annex
E and that Holders from time to time may be irreparably harmed by any such failure, and
accordingly agree that such Holders, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled
at law or in equity, to the fullest extent permitted and enforceable under applicable law shall be
entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this Annex
E in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Annex E.
13. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company shall not, on or after the Signing Date,
enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that may impair the rights granted to
Holders under this Annex E or that otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof in any
manner that may impair the rights granted to Holders under this Annex E. In the event the
Company has, prior to the Signing Date, entered into any agreement with respect to its securities
that is inconsistent with the rights granted to Holders under this Annex E (including
agreements that are inconsistent with the order of priority contemplated by Section 2(f) of
Annex E) or that may otherwise conflict with the provisions hereof, the Company shall use
its reasonable best efforts to amend such agreements to ensure they are consistent with the
provisions of this Annex E.
14. Certain Offerings by Treasury. An “underwritten” offering or other disposition
shall include any distribution of such securities on behalf of Treasury by one or more
broker-dealers, an “underwriting agreement” shall include any purchase agreement entered into by
such broker-dealers, and any “registration statement” or “prospectus” shall include any offering
document approved by the Company and used in connection with such distribution.

herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to
the Securities Purchase Agreement, at the Closing, the Company issued to the Investor the number of
shares of the series of its preferred stock set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Preferred Shares”)
and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase the number of shares of [To be included for private

In connection with the consummation of the repurchase (the “Repurchase”) by the Company from
the Investor, on the date hereof, of the number of Preferred Shares listed on Schedule A hereto
(the “Repurchased Preferred Shares”) [To be included for private issuers who are repurchasing some

notwithstanding Section 4.4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, immediately following
consummation of the Repurchase, but subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the
Investor shall be permitted to Transfer all or a portion of the Warrant with respect to, and/or
exercise the Warrant for, all or a portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
thereunder, at any time and without limitation, and Section 4.4 of the Securities Purchase
Agreement shall be deemed to be amended in order to permit the foregoing. The Company shall take
all steps as may be reasonably requested by the Investor to facilitate any such Transfer.
In addition, the Company agrees that in the event it elects to repurchase the Warrant, it

Repurchase Notice, then the Investor hereby provides notice of its intention to sell the Warrant.]
This letter agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal law of
the United States if and to the extent such law is applicable, and otherwise in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such
State.
