MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1 Indemnification.

(a) General Indemnification Obligation. Effective at and after the Closing, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Purchaser, each Affiliated Entity and each of the Purchaser’s and each Affiliated Entity’s respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, attorneys, accountants and Affiliates and each Person that controls (within the meaning of Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Purchaser, each Affiliated Entity and each of the Purchaser’s and each Affiliated Entity’s respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, attorneys, accountants and affiliates (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) against any claim, demand, action, liability, damages, loss, cost or expense (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Party in defending any such proceeding) (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.1(d), “Damages”) regardless of whether any of the foregoing results from a third-party claim or otherwise (all of the foregoing, including associated costs and expenses being referred to herein as a “Proceeding”), that it may incur in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby arising out of or based upon:

(i) any breach of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein; and

(ii) any breach by the Company of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement.

provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Proceeding to the extent that such Proceeding arises out of, or is based upon, fraud or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Purchaser in connection therewith.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the cumulative indemnification obligations of the Company under Section7.1(a)(i) in the aggregate exceed $3,850,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that any and all breaches of the Fundamental Representations shall not be subject to the Cap.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no indemnification claims for Damages shall be asserted by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 7.1(a)(i) unless (x) any individual claim for indemnification or group or series of related claims for indemnification exceeds $100,000 (such claim for indemnification or group or series of related claims for indemnification that does not exceed $100,000, the “De Minimis Losses”), and (y) the aggregate amount pursuant to any claim for indemnification that would otherwise be payable under Section 7.1(a)(i) (which shall not include for such purposes De Minimis Losses), exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Basket Amount”), whereupon the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to receive only amounts for Damages (which shall not include for such purposes De Minimis Losses) in excess of the Basket Amount; provided, however, that any and all Damages arising out of breaches of the Fundamental Representations shall not be subject to the Basket Amount or De Minimis Losses, but instead shall be recoverable from “dollar one.”

(d) Under no circumstances shall any Damages include consequential, indirect, punitive or other similar damages, including diminution of value, lost profits, lost revenues, business interruptions, or loss of business opportunity or reputation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.1, Damages of any Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be calculated only to the extent attributable to the Purchaser’s purchase and ownership of the Purchased Shares as contemplated by this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement (and shall not include any such Damages to the extent attributable to the Purchaser’s or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party’s interest in the Business Partnership Agreement or any other agreements or arrangements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand). Any Purchaser Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages which form the basis of an indemnification claim hereunder. The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Section 7.1 shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party from third parties, including under insurance policies with respect to such Damages (which the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover), and shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit realized by the Purchaser Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages.

(i) Whenever a claim for indemnification shall arise under this Section 7.1 as a result of a third-party claim, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”), shall notify the Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Proceeding and the facts constituting the basis for such claim in reasonable detail.

(ii) Such Indemnified Party shall at all times conduct its defense of any Third Party Claim in a reasonable and prudent manner. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain the counsel of its choice in

connection with such Proceeding and to participate at its own expense in the defense of any such Proceeding; provided, however, that counsel to the Indemnifying Party shall not (except with the consent of the relevant Indemnified Party) also be counsel to the Indemnified Party. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

(iv) The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any third party, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification could be sought under this Section 7.1, unless the Indemnified Parties fail to assume the defense of such litigation, investigation or proceeding pursuant to Section 7.1(e)(ii) and (2) such settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment (x) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Parties from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of

fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party; provided that, (A) if an Indemnified Party unreasonably declines to consent to any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment involving only the payment of monetary damages by such Indemnified Party with respect to any litigation, investigation or proceeding and (B) monetary damages are subsequently awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction against such Indemnified Party in an amount in excess of such previously proposed settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party for the amount by which such award exceeds the amount set forth in such previously proposed settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment.

(f) From and after the Closing Date, the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 7.1 will constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Damages based on, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any matter addressed in this Section 7.1, except for remedies involving specific performance or other equitable relief.

(g) Brokers. The Company shall pay, and shall hold the Purchaser Indemnified Parties harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising from any claim for any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission made against the Purchaser or an Affiliated Entity by any broker, finder or investment banker relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on arrangements made by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(a) At any time after the earlier of (x) the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement and (y) the first day on which the members of the Board that are independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, plus (without duplication) the members of the Board that are Series A Designees constitute less than a majority of the members of the Board, subject to the right of the Company under Section 2.1(f) and Section 2.3(j), upon written notice (a “Demand Notice”) by Holders owning a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement covering the sale or distribution by the Holders by way of underwritten offering, block sale or any other distribution plan (other than pursuant to a merger, exchange offer or similar transaction) designated in such Demand Notice, but excluding any plan of distribution for offers and sales on a delayed or continuous basis that would require a “shelf” registration, of all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Demand Notice on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form and shall provide for the registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders) in accordance with the foregoing (a “Demand Registration”) on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days from the date of such Demand Notice (such date of actual filing, the “Filing Date”), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Demand Registration to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practical after the filing thereof.

(b) Once a Demand Registration is declared effective, the Company shall, subject to Section 2.1(f) and Section 2.3(j), use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Demand Registration to be continuously effective until the earlier of (A) the time that the Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration have been disposed of pursuant

thereto and (B) the date that is 180 days after the effective date of such Demand Registration (with respect to any Demand Registration, such period from initial effectiveness thereof until the earlier of the times specified in the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B), the “Effectiveness Period”). In connection with each Demand Registration, the Company shall request effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement (and any post-effective amendments thereto) at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time (or such other time as may reasonably be requested by or on behalf of a majority in interest of the Holders participating in such registration), on the effective date and use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Prospectus (or any supplements thereto), which delivery may be made electronically, by 8:00 a.m. Eastern time on the first Business Day after such effective date. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file the Prospectus with the SEC by 8:00 a.m. Eastern time on the first Business Day after such effective date.

(c) If any Demand Registration ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time during the applicable Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cause such Demand Registration to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Demand Registration), and in any event shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, within thirty (30) days of such cessation of effectiveness, amend such Demand Registration in a manner reasonably expected to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Demand Registration or (ii) at the option of the Company, file an additional Registration Statement (a “Subsequent Registration”) for the purpose of effecting the offering and sale by Holders thereof by way of underwritten offering, block sale or any other distribution plan (other than pursuant to a merger, exchange offer or similar transaction) designated in the applicable Demand Notice of all securities that are Registrable Securities as of the time of such filing and included in the applicable Demand Notice. If a Subsequent Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (x) cause such Subsequent Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after such filing and (y) keep such Subsequent Registration (or another Subsequent Registration meeting the same criteria) continuously effective until the end of the applicable Effectiveness Period. Any such Subsequent Registration shall be a Registration Statement (other than a “shelf” registration statement for sales on a delayed or continuous basis) on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Registration shall be on another appropriate form and shall provide for the registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders by way of underwritten offering, block sale or any other distribution plan (other than pursuant to a merger, exchange offer or similar transaction) designated in the applicable Demand Notice.

(d) The Company shall supplement and amend any Demand Registration or any Subsequent Registration if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such registration if required by the Securities Act or as reasonably requested by the Holders covered by such registration.

(e) If a Demand Notice delivered in accordance with Section 2.1(a) specifies that the sale of the Registrable Securities is intended to be conducted through an underwritten offering, the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities included in such Demand Notice shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to

administer the offering; provided, however, that such managing underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Demand Notice and the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in such customary form as shall have been negotiated and agreed to by the Company with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities advise the Board that in its or their good faith opinion the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement and all other securities proposed to be sold in the offering contemplated thereby exceeds the number which can be sold in such underwritten offering without adversely affecting the success of such offering, in light of market conditions, the Registrable Securities and such other securities to be included in such underwritten Registration Statement shall be allocated, (i) first, up to the total number of securities the Holders have requested in the Demand Notice to be included in such Registration Statement (pro rata based upon the number of securities that each of them shall have so requested to be included in such offering), and (ii) only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, the number of securities that other holders with registration rights have proposed to include in such Demand Registration (pro rata based upon the number of securities that each of them shall have so requested to be included in such offering) that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters can be so sold. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter or underwriters (provided that, if the managing underwriter or underwriters have provided such Holder with written notice of the date on which the applicable Registration Statement will become effective no later than five Business Days prior to such effectiveness date, such Holder’s written notice of such election must be given at least two Business Days prior to effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement). Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.

(f) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1:

(i) after the Company has effected three (3) registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective or withdrawn (the “Maximum Demand Registrations”), provided that a registration will count for this purpose only if (A) all Registrable Securities requested to be registered are registered and (B) such Registration Statement becomes effective or is withdrawn at the request of a majority in interest of the Holders initiating such registration (other than a withdrawal because, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of material adverse information concerning the Company not known to the Holders at the time of their request for such registration and have withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse information);

(ii) if the Company has effected a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 within the preceding six (6) months, and such registration has been declared or ordered effective or withdrawn at the request of a majority in

interest of the Holders initiating such registration (other than a withdrawal because, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of material adverse information concerning the Company not known to the Holders at the time of their request for such registration and have withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse information and other than a withdrawal in light of market conditions that Holders have reasonably determined are likely to adversely affect the success of the offering to which such registration relates); or

(iii) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Securities Act.

Section 2.2 Piggyback Registration.

(a) If, at any time when there are Registrable Securities then outstanding, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities (other than a registration statement relating to a rights offering or on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of or merger with any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s equity incentive or other employee benefit plans), and even if there is such an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities, in the event that such offering for its own account or the account of others is to be underwritten, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination, and if, within ten (10) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration statement all or any part of any Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered. The Company shall have the right to postpone, terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

(b) The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 in connection with an underwritten offering shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. Each Holder proposing to distribute its securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into and perform such Holder’s obligations under an underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting by the Company or other holder of securities having the right to select such managing underwriter(s) (such underwriting agreement to be in the form negotiated by the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering with respect to which Holders of Registrable Securities have exercised their piggyback registration rights advise the Board in writing that in its or their good faith opinion the number of

Registrable Securities requested to be included in the offering thereby and all other securities proposed to be sold in the offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such underwritten offering without adversely affecting the success of such offering, in light of market conditions, the Registrable Securities and such other securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated, (i) first, up to the total number of securities that the Company has requested to be included in such registration, if such registration has been initiated by the Company, or that any other holder of securities has requested to be included in such registration, if such registration has been initiated by such other holder, and (ii) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, all other securities proposed to be included in such offering by Holders and other holders with registration rights (pro rata based upon the number of securities that each of them shall have so requested to be included in such offering) that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter (provided that, if the managing underwriter(s) have provided such Holder with written notice of the date on which the applicable Registration Statement will become effective no later than five (5) Business Days prior to such effectiveness date, such Holder’s written notice of such election must be given at least two (2) Business Days prior to effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement). Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.

Section 2.3 Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations under Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, the Company will keep each Holder participating in such registration reasonably informed as to the status thereof and the Company will:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such securities in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and, in the case of a Demand Registration, keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable Effectiveness Period;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statements as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement pursuant to the manner of distribution contained therein and, in the case of a Demand Registration, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective for the applicable Effectiveness Period;

(c) furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and to their legal counsel copies of the Registration Statement proposed to be filed, and provide such Holders and their legal counsel the reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Registration Statement;

(d) furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and to the underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable number of copies of the

Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final Prospectus in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such underwriters or Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities and the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration;

(e) use commercially reasonable efforts to notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the Company’s knowledge of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing, and, subject to Section 2.3(j), at the request of any such Holder, prepare promptly and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchaser of such shares, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing;

(f) use commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

(g) make available for inspection by any Holder participating in such registration, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration, and any attorney or accountant retained by any such Holder or underwriter, all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers and directors to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that such Holder or underwriter shall agree to hold in confidence and trust all information so provided pursuant to a confidentiality agreement in form and substance customary under the circumstances (such confidentiality agreement to include a provision that such Holder or underwriter, as the case may be, shall be responsible for any unauthorized disclosure by the attorneys or accountants of such Holder or underwriter unless such Holder did not use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such underwriter to execute such a confidentiality agreement);

(h) in the event that the Registrable Securities are being offered in an underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and participate and cooperate with the underwriters in connection with any road show or marketing activities customary for an underwritten public offering;

(i) use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being

sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the legal counsel representing the Company (which may be in-house counsel, if acceptable to the managing underwriters selected for such underwritten offering) for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters;

(j) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Board has determined in good faith that the filing or effectiveness of (i) a registration statement for any Demand Registration would cause disclosure of any financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other transactions or development involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is or would be material to the Company and that, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Board, such disclosure would not at the time be in the best interests of the Company or (ii) the disclosure necessary for continued use of any Prospectus and Registration Statement by the Holders could be materially detrimental to the Company, the Company shall have the right not to file or not to cause the effectiveness of any registration covering any Registrable Securities and to suspend the use of the Prospectus and the Registration Statement covering any Registrable Security for such period of time as its use would be materially detrimental to the Company by delivering written notice of such suspension to all Holders listed on the Company’s records; provided, however, that in any twelve (12)-month period the Company may exercise the right to such suspension not more than twice and for not more than forty-five (45) days in each such exercise provided, further, in the case of any registration statement for any Demand Registration pursuant to clause (i) above, that the Company shall not register any other capital stock during such forty-five (45) day period (other than a registration on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or relating to the issuance or sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or to a merger or acquisition or other transaction to which Rule 145 under the Securities Act is applicable). From and after the date of a notice of suspension under this Section 2.3(j), each Holder agrees not to use the Prospectus or Registration Statement until the earlier of (1) notice from the Company that such suspension has been lifted or (2) the day following the forty-fifth (45th) day of any such suspension; and

(k) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all shares of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be authorized to be listed and authorized for quotation or trading on each securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, on which the same class of securities issued by the Company is then listed, quoted or traded.

Section 2.4 Registration Expenses. All expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, which discounts and commissions shall be borne by the Holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this ARTICLE II, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 if the registration request is

subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered or the Holders withdraw a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration statement (in which case all participating Holders shall reimburse the Company any expenses incurred therewith and bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be registered in the withdrawn registration) unless (a) the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information concerning the Company of which the Holders initiating the request were not aware at the time of such request or (b) the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities initiating the request agree to forfeit their right to one requested registration pursuant to Section 2.1, in which event such right shall be forfeited by all Holders. Except as provided above, all other expenses incurred by any Holder in connection with a registration requested pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, including fees and disbursements of counsel for the selling Holder or Holders, shall be borne by such Holder or Holders incurring such expenses.

Section 2.5 Prospectus Delivery Requirements; Discontinued Disposition.

(a) 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 a Registration Statement.

(b) By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of (i) a Proceeding, (ii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (iii) any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any 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 or (iv) any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.

Section 2.6 Indemnification.

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will, with respect to any Registrable Securities which are included in a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, indemnify each Holder, each Holder’s officers, directors, partners and members, and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,

and each underwriter thereof, if any, and each person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities, joint or several, or actions in respect thereof, arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation (or alleged violation) by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, Exchange Act or state or federal securities laws applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, and the Company will reimburse each of the Company Indemnified Parties for any reasonable out-of-pocket legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, as such expenses are incurred and within thirty (30) days after a request for reimbursement has been received by the Company together with supporting documentation. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable to a Holder in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action (1) to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a violation or alleged violation of any state or federal law (including any claim arising out of or based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in the Registration Statement or Prospectus) which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by or on behalf of such Holder or (2) in the case of a sale directly by a Holder of Registrable Securities (including a sale of such Registrable Securities through any underwriter retained by such Holder engaging in a distribution solely on behalf of such Holder), such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was corrected in a final or amended Prospectus, and such Holder failed to deliver a copy of the final or amended Prospectus at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability in any case in which such delivery is required by the Securities Act.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, with respect to any Registrable Securities which are included in a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, indemnify, severally and not jointly, the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners and members, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other Holder and each of such Holder’s officers, directors, partners and members who have signed the Registration Statement and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Parties”), against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to

make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by such Holder of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, Exchange Act or state securities law applicable to such Holder and will reimburse each of the Holder Indemnified Parties for any reasonable out-of-pocket legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, as such expenses are incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein, provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.6(b) payable by a Holder exceed the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities included in such registration exceeds the amount of any other losses, expenses, settlements, damages, claims and liabilities that such Holder has been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the applicable Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Holder be liable for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action where such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was corrected in a final or amended Prospectus, and the Company or the underwriters failed to deliver a copy of the final or amended Prospectus at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability in any case in which such delivery is required by the Securities Act

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought (including any governmental action), and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided, however, that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; provided further, however, that an Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified Parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to conflicting interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 2.6 if, but only to the extent that, the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial or harmful to an Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. The indemnity agreements

contained in this Section 2.6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party, other than pursuant to its terms, with respect to any claim, loss, damage, liability or action referred to therein, then, subject to the limitations contained in Section 2.6(e), the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such claim, loss, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the actions that resulted in such claims, loss, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) were based solely upon the number of entities from whom contribution was requested or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 2.6(d). In no event shall any Holder’s contribution obligation under this Section 2.6(d) exceed the amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities included in such registration.

(e) No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions of Section 2.6, the provisions in the underwriting agreement will control; provided, however, that to the extent such underwriting agreement does not address a matter addressed by this Agreement, that failure to address such matter shall not be deemed a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the underwriting agreement.

(g) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.6(g) shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement, and otherwise.

Section 2.7 Information by Holders, Etc. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders and their Affiliates, the Registrable Securities held by them and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Company

under Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 are conditioned on the timely provisions of the foregoing information by such Holder or Holders and, without limitation of the foregoing, will be conditioned on compliance by such Holder or Holders with the following:

(a) such Holder or Holders will cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation of the applicable Registration Statement, and for so long as the Company is obligated to keep such Registration Statement effective, such Holder or Holders will provide to the Company, in writing and in a timely manner, for use in such Registration Statement (and expressly identified in writing as such), all information regarding themselves and such other information as may be required by applicable law to enable the Company to prepare such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus covering the applicable Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders and to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof;

Section 2.8 Assignability; Transfer Restrictions.

(a) During the Standstill Period and thereafter, the Investor will not, and shall cause each member of the Investor Group not to, without the prior consent of the Company (as approved by the Board, to the knowledge of the Investor), transfer any Company Common Stock or Synthetic Long Positions other than (i) to an Affiliated Entity, so long as such Affiliated Entity agrees in writing, a copy of which writing is provided to the Company at the time of

transfer, to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that it shall immediately transfer all Company Common Stock or Synthetic Long Positions and all rights and obligations hereunder to the Investor or another Affiliated Entity at such time that it ceases to be an Affiliated Entity (any such transferee a “Permitted Transferee”), (ii) in connection with a third party tender or exchange offer, merger or similar transaction recommended, approved by or not opposed by the Board, (iii) in an open market transaction or a Registration Statement or otherwise (other than in contravention of the immediately-preceding clause (ii)); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Investor may not transfer any shares of Class A Common Stock or Synthetic Long Positions to any Person pursuant to the immediately-preceding clause (iii) that, together with the Affiliates of such Person and others with whom such Person or its Affiliates are part of any “group” as such term is used in Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, would, to the Investor’s knowledge, immediately after such transfer and other transactions to be effected in connection therewith and known to the Investor, beneficially own Company Common Stock and/or Synthetic Long Positions representing, in the aggregate, more than five percent (5%) of the then-outstanding shares of Company Common Stock.

(b) The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this ARTICLE II may be assigned (but only with all related obligations), in whole or in part, by a Holder to a Permitted Transferee (in accordance with clause (i) of Section 2.8(a), so long as the Company is, promptly after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned. If any of the Registrable Securities are transferred or assigned by a Holder to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then, upon request by the transferring Holder, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (at the earliest opportunity practicable) to enable such Permitted Transferee to resell such transferred or assigned Registrable Securities using the Registration Statement filed and made effective pursuant to this Agreement and the related Prospectus by filing a post-effective amendment or, if applicable, Prospectus supplement, naming such Permitted Transferee as a selling stockholder under such Registration Statement and Prospectus.

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, the Investor and any Affiliated Entity may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of its Class A Common Stock to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and that agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, so long as such pledge is made pursuant to a senior credit facility or senior debt securities of the Investor or any of the Affiliated Entities on the same terms as all or substantially all of the assets of the Investor and the Affiliated Entities are so pledged, and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Investor and any Permitted Transferee may transfer pledged or secured shares of Class A Common Stock to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the expense of the Investor or the applicable Permitted Transferee, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of shares of Class A Common Stock may

reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of such shares, including, if the shares are subject to registration pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder.

Section 2.9 Reporting Status and Public Information. During each Effectiveness Period, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) timely file all documents with the SEC required to be filed by it, (b) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times, (c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act and (d) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder, upon any reasonable request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with Rule 144, and of the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

Section 2.10 Termination of Rights. The rights of any particular Holder to cause the Company to register securities under this ARTICLE II shall terminate with respect to such Holder upon the earlier of the date upon which (i) all of such Holder’s shares are no longer Registrable Securities or such Holder, if not the Investor, is no longer an Affiliated Entity or (ii) the Company is no longer reporting, or subject to reporting requirements, under the Exchange Act; provided that, with respect to a termination under this clause (ii), such rights shall revive and become effective upon the Company again reporting, or being subject to reporting requirements, under the Exchange Act.

at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Purchased Shares (the “Cancellation Time”), the Holder shall no longer have the right to designate Series A Designees for election to the Board of Directors. Prior to the Holder’s first designation and election of any particular individual as a Series A Designee, the Holder shall notify the Corporation of such individual proposed to be a Series A Designee and provide reasonable detail regarding such individual’s experience and background (any such notice, a “Designation Notice”), and the Corporation shall promptly notify the Holder in writing of the determination of the Board of Directors as to the acceptability of such individual as a Series A Designee (any such notice, a “Designation Confirmation”). If so requested by the Board of Directors or the nominating committee thereof, the Board of Directors and/or nominating committee shall be entitled to meet with such individual prior to determining whether to accept such individual as a Series A Designee. Acceptance of any such individual as a Series A Designee by the Board of Directors for purposes of such individual’s being a Series A Designee shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and, in the event that a Designation Confirmation with respect to an individual identified in a Designation Notice as a proposed Series A Designee is not delivered to the Holder by the tenth (10th) Business Day after delivery of the Designation Notice to the Corporation, such individual shall be deemed to be reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors for purposes of the definition of Series A Designee. The Corporation shall include in any Designation Confirmation reflecting a determination by the Board of Directors that an individual is not acceptable for purposes of qualifying such individual as a Series A Designee a reasonably detailed explanation of the specific reasons for such determination.

(c) Subject to applicable law and securities exchange rules and regulations, at any time during which the Holder has the right to designate two (2) or more Series A Designees for election to the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 3(b), there shall be at least one (1) Series A Designee included as a member of any committee of the Board of Directors, except for special committees established for potential conflict of interest situations the nature of which is such that membership thereon by a Series A Designee would be inappropriate, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, and except that only Series A Designees who qualify under the applicable rules and regulations of the applicable securities exchange and the SEC may serve on committees where such qualification is required. If at any time the number of Series A Designees serving on the Board of Directors exceeds the number of Series A Designees that the Holder is then entitled to designate for election to the Board of Directors, the Holder shall promptly, and in any event with in five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Holder receives written notice from the Corporation of such excess, remove any excess Series A Designee from the Board of Directors such that the number of Investor Designees serving on the Board of Directors after giving effect to such resignation does not exceed the number of Series A Designees that the Holder is then entitled to designate for election to the Board of Directors.

(d) Except with respect to the removal of a Series A Designee pursuant to Section 3(c), the Holder shall have the exclusive power to designate and, following a Designation Confirmation with respect thereto, vote for the election of a Series A Designee’s replacement as a member of the Board of Directors (and thereby to fill the

vacancy on the Board created) upon any Series A Designee ceasing to serve on the Board of Directors, including by reason of the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of such Series A Designee.

(e) (A) Each Series A Designee shall be entitled to the same compensation and same indemnification and insurance coverage in connection with his or her role as a director of the Corporation as are generally made available to all of the members of the Board of Directors who are not Series A Designees and are also not officers or employees of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, and each Series A Designee shall be entitled to reimbursement for his or her reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors or any committees thereof, to the same extent as other members of the Board of Directors who are not Series A Designees or officers or employees of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries (it being understood that a Series A Designee may, at his or her option, waive any entitlement to compensation for service as a director of the Corporation); (B) the Corporation shall notify each Series A Designee of all regular and special meetings of the Board of Directors and shall notify each Series A Designee of all regular and special meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors of which such Series A Designee is a member; and (C) the Corporation shall provide each Series A Designee with copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials provided to all members of the Board of Directors who are not officers or employees of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries concurrently as such materials are provided to such members of the Board of Directors (except as are provided solely to members of committees of which such Series A Designee is not a member or with respect to any such materials that would pose an actual or potential conflict of interest for such Series A Designee, as determined in good faith by the Board). All policies and procedures of the Board of Directors (and any committee thereof which such Series A Designee is a member) applicable to members of the Board of Directors who are not Series A Designees and are also not officers or employees of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries shall apply to each Series A Designee except as otherwise provided in such policies and procedures.

(f) In addition to any other vote or consent of a holder of the Series A Preferred Stock as required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, but subject to Section 8 of the Certificate of Designations, without the prior written consent of the Holder, the Corporation will not amend, alter or repeal (whether by amendment, merger or consolidation or otherwise) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Certificate of Designations so as to adversely affect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of the Series A Preferred Stock or to authorize the issuance of, or to issue any, additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided that any amendment or alteration to the Certificate of Incorporation or any certificate of designations thereof to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than the Series A Preferred Stock) or (ii) incorporate the terms of a new class or series of capital stock of the Corporation that does not modify the rights and obligations of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in this Certificate of Designations shall not be deemed to adversely affect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(g) The Holder, voting separately as a series, has the exclusive power to remove from the Board, with or without cause, any director that is a Series A Designee.

(h) In exercising the voting rights set forth in this Section 3, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share. The exercise of any voting rights set forth in this Section 3 may be by written consent in lieu of a meeting, provided that the procedures set forth in the Corporation’s bylaws relating to action by stockholders without a meeting shall not apply to the Holder or the Series A Preferred Stock.

(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(b), upon consummation of any Designated Transaction or Surviving Transaction:

(i) if (x) the Investor Group owns (and has continuously owned) of record, in the aggregate, all of the Purchased Shares (and has not entered into any Hedging Transaction with respect to all or any portion thereof) and (y) the Relative Ownership Percentage with respect to such Designated Transaction or Surviving Transaction is equal to or greater than 66 2/3%, then the Holder shall continue to have the right to appoint two (2) Series A Designees (but only so long as the Investor Group owns (and has continuously owned) of record, in the aggregate, all of the Purchased Shares (and has not entered into any Hedging Transaction with respect to all or any portion thereof)); provided that, if the Corporation Subsequent Class A Percentage or the Successor Class A Percentage, as applicable, with respect to such Designated Transaction or Surviving Transaction is less than 10%, then the committee rights in Section 3(c) shall terminate;

(ii) if (x) the Investor Group owns (and has continuously owned) of record, in the aggregate, all of the Purchased Shares (and has not entered into any Hedging Transaction with respect to all or any portion thereof) and (y) either (A) the Relative Ownership Percentage with respect to such Designated Transaction or Surviving Transaction is equal to or greater than 50% but less than 66 2/3% or (B) (1) the Relative Ownership Percentage with respect to such Designated Transaction or Surviving Transaction is less than 50% and (2) the Corporation Subsequent Class A Percentage or the Successor Class A Percentage, as applicable, with respect to such Designated Transaction or Surviving Transaction is greater than 10%, then each of the references in this Section 3(b) (other than in clause (A) of the first sentence of Section 3(b)) to “two (2) Series A Designees” shall be deemed to have been changed to refer instead to “one (1) Series A Designee”, and such changes shall be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to, but conditioned upon, such consummation (and such designation rights shall remain in effect only so long as the Investor Group owns (and has continuously owned) of record, in the aggregate, all of the Purchased Shares (and has not entered into any Hedging Transaction with respect to all or any portion thereof)); or

(iii) if neither the condition in clause (i) of this Section 3(i) nor the condition in clause (ii) of this Section 3(i) is satisfied, the Holder shall no longer have the right to designate Series A Designees for election to the Board of Directors (and the loss of such right shall be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to, but shall be conditioned upon, such consummation) and the Cancellation Time shall be deemed to have occurred.

For the purposes of this Section 3(i) and Section 3(b), if the Investor Group has disposed of Purchased Shares solely for the purposes of not becoming an “interested stockholder” pursuant to Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any successor statute, the Investor Group shall be deemed to own of record, in the aggregate, all of the Purchased Shares so long as it continues to own the maximum number of Purchased Shares allowable at the time of such disposition without so becoming an “interested stockholder.”

4. Cancellation. All then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be and shall be cancelled in full against payment by the Corporation of the par value thereof and shall no longer be issued or outstanding and shall no longer constitute an obligation of the Corporation in any way upon the earliest to occur of (i) a Restricted Disposition, (ii) such time as the Holder no longer has the right to designate any Series A Designees (including at the Cancellation Time) and (iii) the completion of the distribution of the Corporation’s remaining assets following the dissolution and winding up of the Corporation. Upon the occurrence of any such event, any Series A Designee shall resign from the Board of Directors and no longer be entitled to receive any materials provided to the Board of Directors or to attend meetings.

5. Other Rights and Powers. Except as set forth herein, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special rights (including, without limitation, any rights to convert into Corporation Common Stock, any rights to dividends or any liquidation preference) and powers, and the consent of the Holder shall not be required, except as otherwise provided herein, for the taking of any corporate action.

6. Restrictions on Disposition. Any share(s) of Series A Preferred Stock not owned of record and beneficially only by Investor or another Affiliated Entity shall, immediately upon the occurrence of the event which resulted in such share(s) not being so owned (such event a “Restricted Disposition”), be deemed to be and shall be cancelled against payment by the Corporation of the par value thereof in full and shall no longer be issued or outstanding and shall no longer constitute an obligation of the Corporation in any way.

7. Liquidation Preference. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, the Holder shall be entitled to receive for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held thereby, out of, but only to the extent of, the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to one cent ($0.01) (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits or the like with respect to such shares), before any payment or distribution is made in respect of any Corporation Common Stock.

8. Recapitalizations, Exchanges, Etc. No binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Series A Preferred Stock, and no merger or consolidation of the Corporation with another Person, may be consummated (any of the foregoing transactions, a “Subject Transaction”) unless in each case, (a) the share of Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which the Corporation is not the surviving or resulting entity, except as provided below, is converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or other Person issuing common stock in respect of shares of Class A Common Stock in such merger or consolidation (any Subject

Transaction upon the consummation of which the share of Series A Preferred Stock is so converted or exchanged or is cancelled pursuant to the proviso at the end of this Section 8, a “Designated Transaction,” and such surviving or resulting entity or other Person, as applicable, in any Designated Transaction, the “Successor” with respect to such Designated Transaction, and any other Subject Transaction, a “Surviving Transaction”) and (b) such share remaining outstanding or such preference securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, as are substantially similar to the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such consummation; provided that, if, pursuant to Section 3(i), the Holder no longer has the right to designate any Series A Designees for election to the Board of Directors, the Successor with respect to such Designated Transaction need not issue such preference securities upon the consummation thereof, and the Series A Preferred Stock shall upon consummation of such Designated Transaction be cancelled in full against payment by the Corporation of the par value thereof and shall no longer be issued or outstanding and shall no longer constitute an obligation of the Corporation or the Successor in any way.

X. X. Xxxxxx Corporation, Inc.

0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx

Xxxxx, XX 00000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Chief Administrative Officer, General Counsel to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Living Omnimedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Reference is made to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of December 6, 2011, by and between the Company and X. X. Xxxxxx Corporation, Inc. This opinion is being furnished to you at the request of the Company as provided by Section 5.7 of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings given those terms in the Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, I have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of the following documents (collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”):

1. the Agreement; and

2. the Investor Rights Agreement.

In addition, I have examined: (i) those corporate records of the Company that I considered appropriate, including copies of the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Company as in effect on the date of this opinion letter (collectively, the “Charter Documents”) and copies of resolutions of the board of directors of the Company; and (ii) those other certificates, agreements and documents that I deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for my opinion.

In connection with this opinion letter, I have made reasonable inquiry of appropriate members of the senior management of the Company. I have also relied, with respect to factual matters, upon written and oral statements of public officials.

In my examination of the documents referred to above, I have assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individuals who have executed any of the documents reviewed by me, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as certified, photostatic, reproduced or conformed copies of valid existing agreements or other documents, the authenticity of the latter documents and that the statements regarding matters of fact in the certificates, records, agreements, instruments and documents that I have examined are accurate and complete. I have also assumed, without independent investigation, the enforceability of the Transaction Agreements against each party other than the Company.

Whenever I indicate that my opinion is based upon my knowledge or words of similar import, my opinion is based solely on the actual knowledge of information gathered in connection with the inquiry described above and information learned in the performance of my regular duties.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions and qualifications stated below, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). The Company is duly qualified and is in good standing in each jurisdiction wherein the character of its property or the nature of the activities presently conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except for such failures to so qualify that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and has all requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted. Each of the Company’s Subsidiaries organized or incorporated under the DGCL or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act has all requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

2. The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver each of the Transaction Agreements and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

3. Each of the Transaction Agreements has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company and duly executed and delivered by the Company.

4. Each of the Transaction Agreements constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

5. Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Agreements, nor the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the execution and filing of the Certificate of Designations and the issuance and sale of the Purchased Securities (i) conflicts with the Charter Documents, (ii) violates the DGCL, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or any law, rule or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America or (iii) requires the consent, approval, licensing or authorization of, or any filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority under the DGCL or any law, rule or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America except for those consents, approvals, licenses and authorizations already obtained and those filings, recordings and registrations already made.

6. The Company has authority to issue 350,000,000 shares of $.01 par value Class A Common Stock, 150,000,000 shares of $.01 par value Class B Common Stock and 150,000,000 shares of $.01 par value Preferred Stock, including 1 share of Series A Preferred Stock.

7. The execution and filing of the Certificate of Designations has been duly authorized by the Company, and the Certificate of Designations has been duly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

8. The Purchased Securities have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, when issued and delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of any preemptive rights or any similar rights

arising under the DGCL, the Charter Documents or the Existing Registration Agreements.

9. To my knowledge, and except as provided in the Company Disclosure Letter and the SEC Documents, no person or entity is entitled to any preemptive right or right of first refusal granted by the Company with respect to the issuance of any capital stock of the Company, and the issuance of the Purchased Securities will not trigger any antidilution or similar rights that have not been properly waived. To my knowledge, except as provided in the Investor Rights Agreement and the Existing Registration Agreements, no person or entity has been granted rights by the Company with respect to the registration of any capital stock of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

This opinion is subject to the following assumptions, exceptions and qualifications:

(a) The enforceability of the Transaction Agreements may be: (i) subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(b) I express no opinion as to: (i) the enforceability of forum selection clauses in the federal courts; (ii) the enforceability of clauses selecting a state court forum outside of New York State; or (iii) the enforceability of any provisions in the Agreement purporting to establish the right of any party to the Agreement to seek or be entitled to specific performance.

I am a member of the Bar of New York and do not purport to be an expert in, or render my opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the laws of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America that, in each case, are currently in effect; provided, that no opinion is expressed herein with respect to federal or state securities laws (or compliance therewith), tax laws, antitrust or trade regulation laws, insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws, antifraud laws, margin regulations, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules, NYSE rules, pension or employee benefit laws, compliance with fiduciary requirements, usury laws or other laws excluded by customary practice.
