Registration.

(a) On or prior to the Filing Date the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering all Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on Form S-1 or such other appropriate form for which the Company then qualifies or that counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate, which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the methods of distribution thereof intended by the Holders, which methods shall be communicated in writing as a plan of distribution in advance to the Company and shall be subject to comments of the staff of the Commission). Such Registration Statement may also include additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to “piggyback” or similar registration rights previously granted by the Company, but only to the extent that the Company in good faith determines that it is required by the terms of such “piggy back” or similar rights to include additional shares in such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities, taking into account the nature of the securities and manner of disposition proposed by such Holders, to the extent that the Commission or its staff advises the Company in writing that the Registrable Securities may not be registered for sale as proposed, or objects to such registration in writing, or to the extent that such registration is not allowed by law or applicable regulation. If any Registrable Securities otherwise required to be registered hereunder are not able to be registered pursuant to the prior sentence, then such securities shall not be required to be registered until the later to occur of both(a) such securities becoming registrable (taking into account the nature of securities and the method of distribution proposed) under applicable law, regulation or Commission comment, as applicable, and (b) written notice to the Company requesting such registration.

The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the Effectiveness Date. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act, except as provided herein, until the date which is the earlier date of when (i) all Registrable Securities have been sold, (ii) the date on which all of the Shares are no longer Registrable Securities, or (iii) two years from the date hereof (the “Effectiveness Period”).

(b) If: (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date; (ii) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date; (iii) after the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission, the Registration Statement ceases to be effective (by suspension or otherwise) or cannot, by virtue of the provisions of Section 9(d) hereof, be used by the Holders due to any Discontinuation Event, as to all Registrable Securities to which it is required to relate at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which shall exceed 60 days in the aggregate per year or more than 30 consecutive calendar days (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared effective); or (iv) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from trading on any Trading Market for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days (provided the Company shall not have been able to cure such trading suspension within 30 days of the notice thereof or list the Common Stock on another Trading Market); (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (i) or (ii) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date which such 60 day or 30 consecutive day period (as the case may be) is exceeded or for purposes of clause (iv) the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”), then:

until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to two percent (2.0%) of the Registrable Securities Value held by such Holder for each thirty (30) day period (prorated for partial periods and computed on a daily basis; provided that if the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date, then for any liquidated damages with respect to such failure to file, liquidated damages shall be calculated as if the Filing Date was sixty (60) days after the date hereof. While such Event continues, such liquidated damages shall be paid not less often than each thirty (30) days. Any unpaid liquidated damages as of the date when an Event has been cured by the Company shall be paid within three (3) business days following the date on which such Event has been cured by the Company.

(c) Within five business days of the Effectiveness Date, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a blanket opinion, in such form as is reasonably requested by the Securityholders, to the transfer agent stating that the applicable shares are subject to an effective registration statement and can be reissued free of restrictive legend upon notice of a sale by the Holder and confirmation by the Holder that it has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, provided that the Company has not advised the transfer agent orally or in writing that the opinion has been withdrawn. Copies of the blanket opinion required by this Section 2(c) shall be delivered to the Holder within the five business day time frame set forth above.

3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act (including the registration required to be filed before the Filing Date pursuant to Section 2 above), the Company will, as soon as reasonably possible:

(a) prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become and remain effective for the Effectiveness Period with respect thereto, and

promptly provide to the Holders copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment relating thereto;

(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be reasonably necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and to keep such Registration Statement effective until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period;

(c) furnish to the Holders such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary Prospectus) as each Holder reasonably may request to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement;

(d) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify for unsolicited purchase and sale the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder may reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified;

(e) list the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;

(f) immediately notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

(g) make available for inspection by the Holders and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any agent for the Holders designated in the Credit Agreement, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of the Holders;

(h) to the extent reasonably requested by the Holders, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form and participate in “road shows” and similar presentations reasonably requested by any underwriters; and

(i) cause the Company’s counsel and independent accountants to deliver to any underwriters and/or the Holders opinions and comfort letters in customary form as reasonably requested by the Holders or by any underwriting agreement entered into by the Holders and the Company.

4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay all Registration Expenses relating to the Company’s compliance with Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.

5. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view toward making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to:

(a) make and keep current public information available, within the meaning of Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act until the earlier of: (i) six months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect without volume limitations or current information requirements, or (ii) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold;

(b) file with the Commission, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) so long as any party hereto owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such party forthwith upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as such party may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

Obligations of the Holders.

(a) Each Holder shall furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may be reasonably required to effect such registration. At least seven (7) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from such Holder if such Holder elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. Each Holder shall provide such information to the Company at least two (2) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if such Holder elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement and shall not be required to pay any liquidated damages or other damages under this Agreement to a Holder resulting from any delay in registration caused by the failure of such Holder to furnish to the Company such information at least two (2) business days prior to such filing date.

(b) Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Holder has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

(c) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice (which may be oral as long as written notice is provided by the next day) from the Company of the happening of a Discontinuation Event (which notice shall contain an explanation of the nature of the Discontinuation Event without providing material non-public information), such Holder will

immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until otherwise notified in writing by the Company or until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus filed with the SEC and until any related post-effective amendment is declared effective.

(d) The Holder acknowledges and agrees that, as described in Schedule 6(d) hereto, other security holders of the Company have the right to include such securities, in addition to the Registrable Securities, in any Registration Statement filed or maintained by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) No Holder may use any confidential information received by it pursuant to this Agreement in violation of the Exchange Act, or other applicable state or federal securities law or reproduce, disclose, or disseminate such information to any other person (other than his or her attorneys, agents and representatives having a need to know, and then only if they expressly agree to be bound hereby), unless such information has been made available to the public generally (other than by such recipient in violation hereof) or such recipient is required to disclose such information by a governmental body or regulatory agency or by law in connection with a transaction that is not otherwise prohibited hereby, and then only after reasonable notice to the Company and it has been provided a reasonable opportunity to object to such disclosure, with the reasonable cooperation and assistance of such Holder. Each Holder agrees to comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and other applicable laws in connection with the offer or sale of any Registrable Securities; provided, however, that any failure to comply that is due to any breach by the Company of its obligations hereunder or under applicable securities laws (including any misstatements or omission of material facts by the Company in its public disclosure documents) shall not constitute a breach of this Section 6(e) by the Holder. The obligations in this Section 6(e) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing herein shall obligate the Company to provide to the Holders, or any advisors or representatives or underwriters any material nonpublic information. The Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Holders, or to advisors to or representatives of the Holders, pursuant to this Agreement unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Holders, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and any Holder wishing to obtain such information enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto.

Indemnification.

(a) In connection with any registration or qualification of the Registrable Securities under this Agreement, (i) the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Holders, including but not limited to each Person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable expenses incurred in investigating, preparing and defending against any claim) to which a Holder or such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon or are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have

furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or Free Writing Prospectus furnished by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon or are caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are ultimately determined to have arisen out of or were based upon or were caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder or such control person specifically for inclusion in any Registration Statement, Prospectus (and any amendments or supplements thereto) or Free Writing Prospectus (it being understood that the Holders have approved the plan of distribution included in the Registration Statement for this purpose and shall be deemed to have been specifically furnished by such Holders), or in the case of an occurrence of a Discontinuation Event, the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of such amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such liability would have been corrected, (ii) each Holder, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify the Company, its affiliates, any person who signed any Registration Statement, and their respective officers, directors and control persons against all such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable expenses incurred in investigating, preparing and defending against any claim) insofar as the same are ultimately determined to have arisen out of or were based upon or were caused by any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or any such omission or alleged omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder or any such control person specifically for the inclusion in any Registration Statement, Prospectus (and any amendments or supplements thereto) or Free Writing Prospectus, (it being understood that the Holders have approved the plan of distribution included in the Registration Statement for this purpose and shall be deemed to have been specifically furnished by such Holders), or in the case of an occurrence of a Discontinuation Event, the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of such amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such liability would have been corrected.

(b) Notice of, and Procedures for, Collecting Indemnification. Promptly upon receipt by a party indemnified under this Agreement of notice of the commencement of any action against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity or reimbursement may be sought against any indemnifying party under this Agreement, such indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action, but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Agreement unless such failure shall materially and adversely affect the defense of such action. In case notice of commencement of any such action shall be given to the indemnifying party as above provided, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable expenses incurred in investigating, preparing and defending against any claim) shall be paid by the indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the indemnifying

party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party), or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) have been advised by such counsel that representation of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party). In the event that either of the circumstances described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the sentence immediately preceding shall occur, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of any such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Holder shall be required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by such Holder in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration under the Securities Act.

(c) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party under paragraphs (a) and (b) hereof, other than as expressly set forth above, in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then an indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims or damages (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Holder(s) on the other hand from the offering of the Registrable Securities, and any other securities included in the Registration Statement which gave rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, 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 the Holder(s) on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Holder(s) on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Holders, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holder(s) on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Holder(s) and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission

8. Representations and Warranties. The Common Stock of the Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the Company has filed all reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act for the twelve months preceding the date hereof on a timely basis or has timely filed a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed such reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. The Company has filed (i) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended February 3, 2007 and (ii) its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of its first three fiscal quarters after February 3, 2007 (collectively, the “SEC Reports”). Each SEC

Report was, at the time of its filing, in substantial compliance with the requirements of its respective form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as of their respective filing dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state 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. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed) and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, the results of operations and the cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of, and for, the periods presented in each such SEC Report, subject, in the case of unaudited statement, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments and the absence of complete footnotes.

Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.

(b) No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 6(d) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing any such right for inclusion of shares in the Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to any of its security holders. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 6(d) hereto, the Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been fully satisfied.

(c) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(d) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Discontinuation Event, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to immediately cure any such Discontinuation

Event and to use its reasonable best efforts to immediately provide copies of any such supplement or amendment or use its reasonable best efforts to immediately deliver the Advice to each Holder.

(e) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Required Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.
