Article III.

Initial Trust Registration

3.1 Initial Registration Statement Prior to Issuance of Trust Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Initial Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC not later than 45 days after approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the Equity Commitment Agreement and use its reasonable best efforts to cause it to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable thereafter on an appropriate form under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Trust from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Initial Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Once the Initial Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Initial Registration Statement to remain continually effective, and supplemented and amended throughout the Required Period and (ii) file post-effective amendments on Form S-3 to the Initial Registration Statement (or convert the Initial Registration Statement to be on Form S-3), as soon as the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 for secondary offerings. In the event the Initial Registration Statement is not effective at any time during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is two years following the last date on which a Call Agreement expires and the Company is unable to restore the effectiveness of such Initial Registration Statement within five Business Days after the same initially fails to be effective, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to cause a replacement “shelf” Registration Statement (the “Subsequent Registration Statement”) to be filed with the SEC as promptly as practicable after the end of such five Business Day period and use its reasonable best efforts to cause it to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable thereafter. Once the Subsequent Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Subsequent Registration Statement to remain continually effective, and supplemented and amended throughout the Required Period and (ii) file post-effective amendments on Form S-3 to the Subsequent

Registration Statement (or convert the Subsequent Registration Statement to be on Form S-3), as soon as the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 for secondary offerings. The Company’s obligations under this Section 3.1 are subject to the provisions of Article VI. In no event shall the Trust be named as a “selling securityholder” in the Initial Registration Statement or in the Subsequent Registration Statement, unless and until it has requested to be so named in accordance with Section 3.2.

3.2 Initial Registration Procedures.

(a) The Trust shall be entitled to include all or any part of the Registrable Securities in the Initial Registration Statement, if it still is in effect at such time as the Trust desires to include Registrable Securities thereunder, or the Subsequent Registration Statement, as the case may be, by sending written request to the Company to include the same (“Trust Shelf Offering”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trust may not include any of its Registrable Securities in a Trust Shelf Offering pursuant to this Agreement unless the Trust shall provide to the Company a fully completed notice and questionnaire in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Questionnaire”) and such other information in writing as may be reasonably requested by the Company pursuant to Section 7.2 (the “Additional Information”). From and after the date that the Initial Registration Statement or the Subsequent Registration, as applicable, becomes effective, upon receipt of a completed Questionnaire and such Additional Information that the Company may reasonably request in writing (including any amendments to any prior Questionnaire or Additional Information), if any, but in any event within three Business Days after the Company receives the completed Questionnaire and such Additional Information, if any, from the Trust the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file any amendments or supplements to the Initial Registration Statement, Subsequent Registration Statement or Prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference therein necessary for the Registrable Securities that the Trust requests to be included in the Initial Registration Statement or the Subsequent Registration Statement to be included therein and for the Trust to be named as a selling securityholder therein and permit the Trust to deliver (or be deemed to deliver) the Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities (subject to the Company’s rights during a Blackout Period). If the Trust does not deliver a completed written Questionnaire and such Additional Information, as provided for in this Section 3.2(a), the Trust shall not be named as a selling securityholder in the Prospectus until the Trust delivers the same and other periods called for by this Agreement shall have elapsed. If the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to the Initial Registration Statement or the Subsequent Registration Statement, it shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable and notify the Trust as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to this Article III. If the Questionnaire and Additional Information is delivered by the Trust during a Blackout Period, the Company shall so inform the Trust and shall take the actions set forth in this Section 3.2(a) upon expiration of the Blackout Period as though the Trust’s Questionnaire and Additional Information had been delivered on the expiration date of such Blackout Period.

(b) The Trust may, by written notice to the Company, request that the Company take any reasonable steps necessary to assist and cooperate with the Trust to facilitate a Trust Shelf Offering, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Such written notice shall

specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and shall also specify the intended method of disposition thereof (and the Initial Registration Statement or Subsequent Registration Statement shall be amended by the Company to reflect the same).

(iii) the end of any Lock-Up Period (which may not end later than 90 days after the effective date of such demand registration) requested by the managing underwriter in connection with such demand registration for an Underwritten Offering by the Holders under the Investor Registration Agreement.

(c) Holders shall not be permitted to request any demand registrations under the Investor Registration Agreement for an Underwritten Offering for a period beginning on the Cut-off Date and ending on (i) if the Trust does not, pursuant to this Agreement, request an Exclusive Trust Registration during the Exclusive Trust Period, the end of the Exclusive Trust Period and (ii) if the Trust does request an Exclusive Trust Registration during the Exclusive Trust Period, the later of (x) the date on which the sale of the securities covered by the Exclusive Trust Registration closes, or if earlier, the withdrawal, revocation or termination of the Exclusive Trust Registration solely by the Trust and (y) the end of any Lock-Up Period requested by the managing underwriter in connection with the Exclusive Trust Registration.

(d) If an Exclusive Holder Registration is requested pursuant to the Investor Registration Agreement during the Exclusive Holder Period, the Trust shall not have a right to make a Demand Registration for an Underwritten Offering for the period beginning on the date the Holders make a written request for an Exclusive Holder Registration and ending on the later of (i) the date on which the sale of securities covered by the Exclusive Holder Registration closes or, if earlier, the withdrawal, revocation or termination of the Exclusive Holder Registration solely by the Holders and (ii) the end of any Lock-Up Period requested by the managing underwriter in connection with the Exclusive Holder Registration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trust does not on the date that the Holders request an Exclusive Holder Registration have at least $75 million of Trust Shares, this Section 4.1(d) shall not apply.

(e) If at anytime there is no Company “shelf” Registration Statement outstanding with respect to Registrable Securities, the Trust, in making such request hereunder, may specify that the requested registration be a “shelf registration” for an offering on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act and if there is such a “shelf” Registration Statement outstanding at the time of making such request, the Trust may request that all or a portion of the Registrable Securities should be covered thereby, in which case the Company shall, subject to the Trust’s compliance with the requirements of Section 3.2 and Section 7.2, amend (or take all requisite actions with respect to) such “shelf Registration Statement to include such Registrable Securities in such “shelf” Registration Statement.

If the Company shall have complied with its obligations under this Agreement, a right to a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon the earlier of (x) the date as of which all of the Registrable Securities included therein shall have been disposed of pursuant to the Registration Statement, and (y) the date as of which such Demand Registration shall have been continuously effective (and not subject to any stop order, injunction or other similar order or requirement of the SEC) for the Required Period, subject to any Blackout Periods.

(g) In the event that more than one written request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 4.1 and/or a demand registration under Section 4.1 of the Investor Registration Agreement is received by the Company on the same day, the Trust or Holder(s) making the request that represents the largest number of shares of New Common Stock shall be deemed to be the demanding holder(s).

The term “Pro Rata Basis” shall mean a pro rata allocation among the Trust and the Holders participating in such registration, calculated on the basis of (1) the number of Trust Shares the Trust requests to include in such registration and (2) with respect to the Holders participating in such registration, the number of the Qualified Holder Registrable Securities the Holders request to include in such registration.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of such pro-ration, the Trust shall not be entitled to include in a registration all shares of New Common Stock that it had requested to be included therein, then the Trust may elect to withdraw such request to include its shares of New Common Stock in such Demand Registration (in which case such Demand Registration shall not count as a Demand Registration under Section 4.1(a)(i)); provided, however, any Holder or Holders with at least $75 million in Registrable Securities may, if participating in such registration, request the Company to continue with such registration and if so requested the Company shall do so (including using its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration to become effective and maintain its effectiveness for the Required Period).

4.5 Revocation of Demand Registration.

(a) The Trust, if a registration is requested pursuant to Section 4.1(a), may, at any time prior to the Effective Date of the Registration Statement relating to such registration, revoke its request to have Registrable Securities included therein by providing a written notice to the Company and, if the Company receives such written notice, subject to Section 4.5(b), it shall not cause such Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act.

(b) In the event of any such revocation pursuant to Section 4.5(a), any Holder or Holders with at least $75 million in Registrable Securities may (if participating in such registration) request the Company to continue with such registration and if such Holders provide such request the Company shall do so (including using its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration to become effective and maintain its effectiveness for the Required Period). In the event the Trust revokes such request pursuant to Section 4.5(a) and Holders with at least $75 million in Registrable Securities do not request the Company pursuant to Section 4.5(b) or 4.7 of the Investor Registration Agreement to continue such registration, at the election of the Trust, either (a) the Trust shall reimburse the Company for all of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the preparation, filing and processing of the Registration Statement or (b) the requested registration that has been revoked shall be deemed to have been effected for purposes of Section 4.1.

(c) In the event any Holder or Holders with at least $75 million in Registrable Securities do request the Company to continue such registration pursuant to Section 4.5(b) or 4.7 of the Investor Registration Agreement, such registration shall not be a Demand Registration under Section 4.1 and shall not effect calculations under Section 4.1(a)(i).

4.6 Withdrawal by the Trust. If (a) a Blackout Period occurs after a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof but before the Registrable Securities of the Trust covered by such request are sold, transferred, exchanged or disposed in accordance with such request, (b) the Trust is not entitled to include all of such Registrable Securities requested by the Trust in any offering, or (c) the Company has breached its obligations hereunder, then in any of such cases the Trust may elect to withdraw from or revoke such offering by giving written notice to the Company and the underwriter, to the extent applicable, of the Trust’s request to withdraw or revoke prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the SEC with respect to such Demand Registration and such registration shall not be a Demand Registration under Section 4.1(a)(i) and shall not effect calculations under Section 4.1(a)(i). If the Trust withdraws from or revokes the proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration in accordance with the previous sentence, then (x) the Trust shall have no further rights to include its Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration, (y) the Company shall cease all efforts to secure registration, and (z) the Company shall reimburse the Trust for all of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cancelled registration through the date of the written notice of withdrawal or revocation; provided, however, that in the event the Trust withdraws or revokes such offering, any Holder or Holders with at least $75 million in Registrable Securities may (to the extent such Holder or Holders are participating in such offering) request the Company to continue with such registration and if such Holders provide such request the Company shall do so (including using its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration to become effective and maintain its effectiveness for the Required Period); provided, further, that any such Demand Registration Statement withdrawn or revoked by the Trust and completed for such Holder or Holders shall not affect the calculations under Section 4(a)(i) or be a Demand Registration under Section 4.1(a)(i).

4.7 Withdrawal by the Holders. If the Holders withdraw from, revoke or terminate any proposed offering relating to a demand registration made under the Investor Registration Agreement, then (a) the Company shall notify the Trust in writing of such withdrawal, termination or revocation promptly after such event and (b) the Trust may, within five Business Days of its receipt of such written notice of withdrawal or revocation, request the Company to continue with such registration and, if such request is timely provided, the Company shall do so (and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such registration to become effective and maintain its effectiveness for the Required Period).

Article V.

Piggyback Registration

5.1 Right to Piggyback. If the Company at any time proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering (a “Piggyback Registration”) of any New Common Stock (other than a registration statement (a) on Form S-8 or any successor form thereto, (b) on Form S-4 or any successor form thereto or (c) relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 under the Securities Act), whether or not for its own account, on a form that would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, then the Company shall give prompt written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) of such proposed filing to the Trust at least 15 Business Days before the anticipated filing date. The Piggyback Notice shall include the number of shares of New Common Stock proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing of such registration statement, any proposed means of distribution, any proposed managing underwriter and a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed maximum offering price as such price is proposed to appear on the facing page of such registration statement, subject to Section 5.2, use its reasonable best efforts in order to provide the Trust with the opportunity to request to register such amount of Registrable Securities as the Trust may specify on the same terms and conditions as the registration of the Company’s or Other Stockholders’ securities, as the case may be (a “Piggyback Registration”). The rights of the Trust under this Article V shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.1(h) and Section 4.4(b), if applicable. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities for which the Company has received written requests from the Trust for inclusion within 10 Business Days after delivery of the Piggyback Notice, subject to Section 5.2 and Section 7.2. The Company’s obligations under this Section 5.1 are subject to the provisions of Article VI.

5.2 Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If the Piggyback Registration is an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter of that proposed offering to permit the Trust, to the extent it has requested that Registrable Securities be included in the Piggyback Registration to include all such Registrable Securities on the same terms and conditions as the registration of the Company’s securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter of such Underwritten Offering advises the Company and the Trust in writing that, in its view, the total amount of shares of New Common Stock that the Company, the Trust and any Other Stockholders propose to include in

such offering is such as to adversely affect the successful marketing (including the pricing) of the securities included in such Underwritten Offering, then:

(i) if such Piggyback Registration is a primary registration by the Company for its own account, the Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration: (A) first, up to the full amount of securities to be offered by the Company; (B) second, (1) up to the full amount of New Common Stock requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the Trust pursuant to Section 5.1 of this Agreement and the Qualified Holder Registrable Securities of the Holders that they request to be included in such Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Investor Registration Agreement, allocated among the Trust and the participating Holders on a Pro Rata Basis; (C) third, up to the full amount of any other Registrable Securities held by any Holders requested to be included therein allocated pro rata among the Holders participating in such Piggyback Registration, on the basis of the number of Holder Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder; and (D) fourth, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by any Other Stockholders (other than the Investors) in accordance with the priorities, if any, then existing among the Company and the Other Stockholders (other than the Investors) so that the total amount of securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering is the full amount that, in the view of such managing underwriter, can be sold without adversely affecting the successful marketing (including pricing) of the securities included in such Underwritten Offering; provided, that the Trust shall be allowed to include in such Piggyback Registration a minimum number of shares of New Common Stock equal to at least the lesser of (x) 25% of the number of shares of New Common Stock covered by such registration and (y) the number of shares of New Common Stock it requests to include in such registration; and

(ii) if such Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration for the account of holders of securities of the Company, the Company shall include in such registration: (A) first, up to the full amount of securities of the Persons exercising “demand” registration rights requested to be included therein; (B) second, up to the full amount of shares of New Common Stock requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the Trust pursuant to Section 5.1 of this Agreement and the Qualified Holder Registrable Securities of the Holders that they request to be included in such Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Investor Registration Agreement, allocated among the Trust and such Holders on a Pro Rata Basis; (C) third, up to the full amount of any other Holder Registrable Securities held by any Holders requested to be included therein allocated pro rata among the Holders participating in such Piggyback Registration, on the basis of the number of Holder Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder; (D) fourth, up to the full amount of securities proposed to be included in the registration by the Company; and (E) fifth, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the Other Stockholders (other than the participating Holders) in accordance with the priorities, if any, then existing among the Company and the Other Stockholders (other than the participating Holders) so that the total amount of securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering is the full amount that, in the view of such managing underwriter, can be sold without adversely affecting the success of such Underwritten Offering; provided, that the Trust shall be allowed to include in such registration a minimum number of shares of New Common Stock equal to at least the lesser of (x) 25% of the number of shares of New Common Stock covered by such registration and (y) the number of shares of New Common Stock it requests to include in such registration. The rights of the Trust under this Section 5.2(ii) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.1(h) and Section 4.4(b), if applicable.

5.3 Withdrawal of Piggyback Registration.

(a) Subject to Section 4.7, if at any time after giving the Piggyback Notice and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with the Piggyback Registration, the Company determines for any reason not to register or to delay the Piggyback Registration, the Company may, at its election, give notice of its determination to the Trust, and in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with the abandoned Piggyback Registration, without prejudice, provided, however, that such Registration Statement shall not be counted for purposes of Section 4.1.

(b) The Trust, if it requests to include Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration, may withdraw its request for inclusion by giving written notice to the Company of its intention to withdraw from that registration, provided, however, that (i) the Trust’s request be made in writing and (ii) the withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making the withdrawal, the Trust shall no longer have any right to include its Registrable Securities in that Piggyback Registration.

(c) Subject to Section 4.7, an election by the Company to withdraw a Piggyback Registration under this Section 5.3 shall not be deemed to be a breach of the Company’s obligations with respect to such Piggyback Registration.

5.4 Exclusive Periods. From and after the date hereof through the end of the later of the Exclusive Trust Period and the Exclusive Holder Period, the Company shall not effect a registration of securities under the Securities Act for its own account or the account of any Person who is not a party hereto or a party to the Investor Registration Agreement (other than (a) on Form S-8 or any successor form thereto, (b) on Form S-4 or any successor form thereto or (c) relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act).

Article VI.

Blackout Period

6.1 Initial Registration, Demand and Piggyback Blackout. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that the registration and distribution of Registrable Securities (a) would materially impede, delay or interfere with, or require premature disclosure of, any material financing, offering, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other significant transaction, or any negotiations, discussions or pending proposals with respect thereto, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (b) would require disclosure of non-public material information, the disclosure of which would materially and adversely affect the Company, the Company shall (i) be entitled to postpone the preparation, filing or effectiveness or suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement and/or the use of any resale Prospectus for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 45 days and (ii) promptly give the Trust notice of such postponement or suspension (which notice need not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such suspension).

6.2 Blackout Period Limits. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VI to the contrary, the Company shall not be entitled to more than three Blackout Periods during any consecutive 12-month period, and in no event shall the number of days included in all Blackout Periods during any consecutive 12-month period exceed an aggregate of 90 days and in no event shall the Company be entitled to postpone the preparation, filing or effectiveness or suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement and/or the use of any resale Prospectus included in a Registration Statement pursuant to this Article VI unless it postpones or suspends during the Blackout Period the effectiveness of any registration statements required pursuant to the registration rights of the Other Stockholders. In the event of the occurrence of any Blackout Period, during any Required Period, Exclusive Trust Period, or Exclusive Holder Period, as the case may be, the same shall be extended by the number of days during which such Blackout Period is in effect.

Article VII.

Procedures and Expenses

7.1 Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations pursuant to Articles III, IV and V the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registrations to permit the sale of Registrable Securities by the Trust in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Trust in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall (i) before filing, furnish to one firm of counsel for the Trust (selected by the Trust in accordance with Section 7.4) and the managing underwriter, if any, within a reasonable period of time (but in any event at least three Business Days) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC to afford to such counsel, the Trust, the managing underwriter and its counsel a reasonable opportunity for review, copies of the Registration Statement or Prospectus proposed to be filed, and (ii) reflect in each such document, when so filed with the SEC, such written comments as such counsel to the Trust and the managing underwriter may reasonably propose;

(b) furnish, at its expense, to the Trust such number of conformed copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, of the Prospectus and each supplement thereto, and of such other documents as the Trust reasonably may request in writing from time to time;

(c) subject to Section 4.2 and Article VI, prepare and file with the SEC any amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement as may be necessary and any supplements to the Prospectus as may be required or appropriate, in the view of the Company and its counsel, by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act to keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (i) such time as all shares of New Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities and (ii) the termination of the Required Period (giving effect to any extensions thereof pursuant to Section 4.2(b), Section 6.2 or Section 7.3);

(d) promptly following its actual knowledge thereof (but in any event within two Business Days), notify the Trust and the managing underwriter, in writing, if any:

(i) when a Registration Statement, Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any supplement or amendment has been filed and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective;

(ii) of any request by the SEC or any other governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information;

(iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

(iv) of the receipt by the Company of any written notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

(v) of the occurrence of any event during the period a Registration Statement is effective which makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus so that such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided, however, that no notice by the Company shall be required pursuant to this Section 7.1(d)(v) in the event that the Company either promptly files a Prospectus supplement to update the Prospectus or an appropriate Exchange Act report that is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, which, in either case, contains the requisite information that results in such Registration Statement no longer containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading); and

(vi) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be required by applicable law (in which case the Company shall file the same as soon as practicable after such determination and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable following filing);

(e) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable date or, if any such order or suspension is made effective during any Blackout Period, at the earliest practicable date after the Blackout Period;

(f) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use reasonable efforts to register or qualify, or cooperate with the Trust, or counsel retained by the Trust in accordance with Section 7.4, the managing underwriter, if any, and its counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as such counsel for the Trust covered by a shelf Registration Statement or the managing underwriter of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities reasonably requests in writing and do such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to maintain each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Required Period for such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not then so qualified or take any action which would subject it to general service of process or taxation in any jurisdiction in which it is not then so subject;

(g) subject to Section 4.2 and Article VI, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any event contemplated by Sections 7.1(d)(v) or 7.1(d)(vi) hereof, use its reasonable best efforts to prepare (and furnish at its expense, subject to any notice by the Company in accordance with Section 7.1(d), to the Trust a reasonable number of copies of) a supplement or post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus (including by means of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus), or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any 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;

(iii) provide officers’ certificates and other customary closing documents customarily delivered in connection with Underwritten Offerings and any reasonably requested by the managing underwriter, if any;

(i) upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times during normal business hours, make reasonably available for inspection by a representative of the Trust, one firm of counsel for the Trust retained in accordance with Section 7.4, the managing underwriter, if any, participating in any disposition of Registrable Securities and its counsel and any single accountant retained by the Trust or any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the appropriate officers, directors and employees of the Company to make reasonably available for such inspection all such relevant information reasonably requested in writing by them in connection with the Registration Statement as is customary for “due diligence” investigations; provided that such Persons shall first agree in writing with the Company that any information that is reasonably designated by the Company as confidential at the time of delivery shall be kept confidential by such Persons and shall be used solely for the purposes of exercising rights under this Agreement and such Person shall not engage in trading any securities of the Company until such material non-public information becomes properly available, except nothing in such writing shall restrict (i) disclosure of such information if it is required by court or administrative order or is necessary to respond to inquiries of regulatory authorities, (ii) disclosure of such information if it is required by law (including any disclosure requirements pursuant to federal or state securities laws in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities), (iii) sharing information with other underwriters, agents or dealers participating in the disposition of any Registrable Securities, subject to the execution by such other underwriters, agents or dealers of reasonable non-disclosure agreements with the Company, (iv) using any such documents or other information in investigating or defending itself against claims made or threatened by purchasers, regulatory authorities or others in connection with the disposition of any Registrable Securities, (v) disclosure of such information if it becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by any such Person or (vi) disclosure of such information if it becomes available to any such Person from a source other than the Company and such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement or confidentiality obligations or duties; and provided, further, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall, to the greatest extent possible, be coordinated on behalf of the Trust and the other parties entitled thereto by the counsel to the Trust retained in accordance with Section 7.4 or the counsel to the managing underwriter, if any;

(j) use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC relating to such registration and make generally available to its securityholders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, provided that the Company shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 7.1(j) if it has satisfied the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act);

(n) use its reasonable best efforts to assist the Trust in the marketing of such Registrable Securities in connection with Demand Registrations (including without limitation, having officers of the Company attend “road shows” for Underwritten Offerings and analyst or investor presentations and rating agency presentations and such other selling or informational activities requested by the Trust or the managing underwriter for such Offerings).

7.2 Information from Trust; Trust’s Obligations.

(a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to include the Registrable Securities of the Trust in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, that the Trust shall take the actions described in this Section 7.2.

(b) The Trust, to the extent it has requested inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement, shall furnish to the Company (as a condition precedent to the Trust’s participation in such registration) a Questionnaire.

(d) With respect to any Registration Statement for an Underwritten Offering, the inclusion of the Trust’s Registrable Securities therein shall be conditioned, at the managing underwriter’s request, upon the execution and delivery by the Trust of an underwriting agreement; provided that the underwriting agreement is in customary form and reasonably acceptable to Company and the Trust.

(e) The Trust shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company in preparing the applicable registration.

(f) The Trust agrees that it shall not be entitled to sell any of its Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto unless the Trust has furnished the Company with the Questionnaire and Additional Information relating to the Trust.

Article VIII.

Indemnification

8.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust with respect to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Trust’s Affiliates, and their respective trustees, officers, directors, employees and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls the Trust within the meaning of either Section 15 of the

Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including without limitation, subject to Section 8.3, the reasonable legal fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, responding to or defending against any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding, including without limitation, all costs of appearing as a witness in any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement pursuant to which any Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary, in the case of any Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Trust furnished to the Company in writing by the Trust expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable 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 an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, amendment, supplement or Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Trust or any other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities, in either case specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Trust or any such underwriter or controlling Person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Trust.

8.2 Indemnification by the Trust. The Trust agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, the Company, the directors, and officers of the Company and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity contained in Section 8.1 from the Company to the Trust, as incurred, but only with respect to information relating to the Trust furnished to the Company in writing by the Trust expressly for use in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto.

8.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation) shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that (i) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (ii) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article VIII. In case any such claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to

the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof and retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed in writing to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall have failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person as contemplated by the preceding sentence or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Trust and such control Persons of the Trust shall be designated in writing by the Trust and any such separate firm for the Company, the directors and officers of the Company and such control Persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 above, as the case may be, any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested the Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Person for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Proceedings as contemplated by this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than (x) 60 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such request for reimbursement and (y) 30 days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of the material terms of such settlement and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Persons (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is a party or of any threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

8.4 Contribution, etc.

(a) If the indemnification provided for in this Article VIII is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred

to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Trust on the other hand with respect to the sale by the Trust of 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 Trust on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total value received or proposed to be received (before deducting expenses) by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Amended Plan and in connection with the extinguishment of the beneficiaries of the Trust’s claims against the Company in accordance with the Amended Plan. Benefits received by the Trust shall be deemed to be equal to the value of having the Registrable Securities registered under the Securities Act. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Trust on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Trust and the parties’ relevant intent, knowledge, information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(b) The Company and the Trust agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Article VIII were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8.4. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in this Section 8.4 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 above, any reasonable legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person not otherwise reimbursed in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VIII, in no event shall the Trust be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by the Trust with respect to its sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement exceeds the amount of any damages that the Trust has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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.

(c) The remedies provided for in this Article VIII 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.

(d) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article VIII 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 the Trust or any Person controlling the Trust or by or on behalf of the Company, the officers or directors of each of the Company or any other Person controlling the Company and (iii) the sale by the Trust of Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement.

Article IX.

Free Writing Prospectuses

Except a Prospectus, and Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other material prepared by the Company, the Trust represents and agrees that it (i) shall not make any offer relating to the Registrable Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus, and (ii) has not distributed and will not distribute any written materials in connection with the offer or sale of Registrable Securities, in each case without the prior written consent of the Company and, in connection with any Underwritten Offering, the underwriters. The Company represents and agrees that it shall not make any offer relating to the Registrable Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus, and has not distributed and shall not distribute any written materials in connection with the offer or sale of New Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Trust at such time as the approval of counsel for the Trust (selected in accordance with Section 7.4 of the Agreement) to be included in an Underwritten Offering and, in connection with any Underwritten Offering, the underwriters.

Article X.

Rule 144

With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to (a) use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; (b) upon written request of the Trust, furnish to the Trust promptly a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and such other reports and documents as the Trust reasonably may request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing such the Trust to sell any Registrable Securities without registration; and (c) take such other actions as may be reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent to consummate any distribution of Registrable Securities that may be permitted in accordance with the terms and conditions of Rule 144.

Article XI.

Private Placement

Except for Section 4.3(c), the Company agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Trust, at any time and from time to time, from selling or otherwise transferring Registrable Securities pursuant to a private placement or other transaction which is not registered pursuant to the Securities Act. To the extent requested by the Trust, the Company shall take all reasonable steps necessary to assist and cooperate with the Trust to facilitate such sale or transfer, including taking the actions specified in Exhibit B hereto.

Article XII.

12.3 Most-Favored-Nation. If the Company grants any Person any rights with respect to the registration of any shares of equity securities of the Company or any securities convertible or exercisable into shares of any equity securities of the Company that are more favorable to such Person than the rights of the Trust set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall grant to the Trust the rights granted to such other Person; provided, however, that this Section 12.3 shall not apply to the Investor Registration Agreement in the form filed with this Agreement on the date hereof with the Bankruptcy Court.

12.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, unless the result thereof would be unreasonable in which case the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith as to appropriate amendments hereto.

12.5 Assignment; Certain Specified Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each of the parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated by the Trust to any third party who purchases or is otherwise a permitted transferee of such Registrable Securities from the Trust, unless (i) such transferee of the Registrable Securities that is not a party to this Agreement shall have executed and delivered to the Secretary of the Company a properly completed agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C, and (ii) the Trust shall have delivered to the Secretary of the Company written notice of such transfer setting forth the name of the Trust, the name and address of the transferee and the number of Registrable Securities that shall have been so transferred; and provided, further, that this Agreement and the rights, interests and obligations hereunder may be assigned, transferred or delegated by the Trust to (x) any Affiliate of the Trust or (y) any party to the Collars (other than the Company or the Trust) (provided, further, that any such transferee or assignee assumes the obligations of the Trust hereunder and agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Trust pursuant to a properly completed agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C). This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement) is not intended to and does not confer upon any Person any rights or remedies under this Agreement other than the parties hereto, any Indemnified Person and, prior to the effective date of the Amended Plan with respect to the rights, obligations and benefits of the Trust, the Future Claimants’ Representative (as defined in the Amended Plan) and Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, Chartered, as counsel to the Official Creditors Committee Representing Holders of Asbestos Claims, and any Investor, each of which is an intended third party beneficiary hereof.

12.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements heretofore executed among the parties shall continue in full force and effect.

12.7 Waivers and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, cancelled, renewed or extended, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived, only by a written instrument, (A) if prior to the effective date of the Amended Plan, signed by (i) the Company, (ii) the Future Claimants’ Representative (as defined in the Amended Plan) and (iii) Xxxxxx & Drysdale, Chartered, as counsel to the Official Creditors Committee Representing Holders of Asbestos Claims, (B) if after the effective date of the Amended Plan, signed by the Company and the Trust; provided that without the prior written consent of the parties required to amend the Investor Registration Agreement, this Agreement shall not be modified, amended or waived if such modification, amendment or waiver would directly or indirectly adversely affect any Investor’s rights or benefits under this Agreement or the Investor Registration Agreement. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement. The rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any party otherwise may have at law or in equity.

12.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission), it being understood that each party need not sign the same counterpart.

12.9 Governing Law; Venue. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF, AND VENUE IN, THE DISTRICT COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES SITTING IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS.

12.10 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

12.11 Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy, and, accordingly, the parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each will be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting bond.

12.12 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with the preceding sentence, this Agreement (other than the first proviso in Section 7.1(i), Section 7.4, Article VIII and Article XI hereof) shall terminate if at any time after the Issuance Date the Trust no longer has any Trust Shares.

12.13 Modifications Necessary to Reflect Corporate Restructuring. The Amended Plan currently contemplates that, on or after the Effective Date, the Company intends to effect a restructuring plan which would organize the Company and its subsidiaries along the Company’s major business lines. This restructuring plan may result in the creation of a new Delaware company to serve as the parent corporation and holding company for the Company and its subsidiaries (“Holdco”). To the extent that such restructuring plan is pursued with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, appropriate modifications to this Agreement shall be made to reflect that this Agreement shall relate to Holdco and the securities issued by Holdco on the same terms. The Company agrees that it shall not implement or effect any such plan without the prior written consent of the Trust.

12.14 No Conflicting Rights. The Company shall not, on or after the date hereof, grant any registration or similar rights to any Person which conflict with or impair the rights granted hereby other than, without limiting the provisions of Section 12.3, the Investor Registration Agreement in the form filed with this Agreement on the date hereof with the Bankruptcy Court.

12.15 Listing. The Company shall, on or prior to the effective date of the Amended Plan, have caused the New Common Stock to be listed on the NYSE or quoted on the NASDAQ.

12.16 Corporate Policies.

[Signature Page Follows]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
