(2) the date when the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (other than Holders that are Affiliates of the Company) are able to sell all such Transfer Restricted Securities immediately without restriction pursuant to the volume limitation provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

(b) At the time the Shelf Registration Statement has become effective, each Holder that became a Notice Holder on or prior to the date fifteen (15) Business Days prior to such time of effectiveness shall be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and

the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with applicable law. None of the Company’s or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors’ securityholders (other than the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities) shall have the right to include any of the Company’s or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors’ securities in the Shelf Registration Statement.

(c) If the Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because all Transfer Restricted Securities registered thereunder shall have been resold pursuant thereto or shall have otherwise ceased to be Transfer Restricted Securities), the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within ten (10) Business Days of such cessation of effectiveness amend the Shelf Registration Statement in a manner reasonably expected to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file an additional Shelf Registration Statement covering all of the securities that as of the date of such filing are Transfer Restricted Securities. If such a subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed or designated (and is not already effective), the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as is practicable after such filing or designation and to keep such Registration Statement (or subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) continuously effective until the end of the Effectiveness Period.

(d) The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall supplement and amend the Shelf Registration Statement if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors for such Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the Securities Act or as reasonably requested by the Representative or by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement.

case of the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

(f) Each Holder agrees that if such Holder wishes to sell Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus, it will do so only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Holder wishing to sell Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus from and after the Effectiveness Date agrees to deliver a Notice and Questionnaire to the Company at least three (3) Business Days prior to any intended distribution of Transfer Restricted Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement. From and after the Effectiveness Date, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, as promptly as practicable after the date a Notice and Questionnaire is delivered, and in any event upon the later of (x) fifteen (15) Business Days after such date (but no earlier than fifteen (15) Business Days after effectiveness) or (y) fifteen (15) Business Days after the expiration of any Suspension Period in effect when the Notice and Questionnaire is delivered or put into effect within fifteen (15) Business Days of such delivery date or, if the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are required to file with the Commission a new Shelf Registration Statement, within thirty (30) calendar days after the date a Notice and Questionnaire is delivered:

(ii) upon its request, provide such Holder copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 2(f)(i); and

(iii) notify such Holder as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 2(f)(i);

provided that if such Notice and Questionnaire is delivered during a Suspension Period, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and shall take the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon expiration of the Suspension Period in accordance with Section 4(b). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be under any obligation to name any Holder that is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in any Registration Statement or related Prospectus and (ii) the Amendment Effectiveness Deadline Date shall be extended by up to fifteen (15) Business Days from the expiration of a Suspension Period (and neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall incur any obligation to pay Additional Amounts during such extension) if such Suspension Period shall be in effect on the Amendment Effectiveness Deadline Date.

3. Additional Amounts.

(a) If:

(i) the Shelf Registration Statement has not become effective or a previously effective Shelf Registration Statement has not been made available, prior to or on the Effectiveness Target Date;

(ii) the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors has failed to perform its obligations set forth in Section 2(f) within the time periods required therein;

(iii) any post-effective amendment to a Shelf Registration Statement or additional Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(f)(i) has not become effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the Amendment Effectiveness Deadline Date;

(iv) except as provided in Section 4(b)(i) hereof, the Shelf Registration Statement is filed and has become effective but, during the Effectiveness Period, shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded within ten (10) Business Days by a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, a supplement to the Prospectus or a report filed with the Commission pursuant to

Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that cures such failure and, in the case of a post-effective amendment, is itself immediately declared effective; or

(v) (A) prior to or on the 45th day, as the case may be, of any Suspension Period, such suspension has not been terminated or (B) Suspension Periods exceed an aggregate of 120 days in any 360 day period,

(each such event referred to in foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), a “Registration Default”), the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, agree to pay interest (“Additional Amounts”) with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as provided herein from and including the day following the Registration Default to but excluding the earlier of (1) the day on which the Registration Default has been cured and (2) the date the Shelf Registration Statement is no longer required to be kept effective as set out below:

(A) in respect of the Notes, the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay interest to each holder of Notes, accruing at a rate (x) with respect to the first 90-day period during which a Registration Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to 0.25% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, and (y) with respect to the period commencing on the 91st day following the day the Registration Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to 0.50% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes; provided that in no event shall Additional Amounts accrue at a rate per year exceeding 0.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes; provided, further, that in no event shall Additional Amounts be payable in connection with a Registration Default relating to a failure to register the Common Stock deliverable upon a conversion of the Notes; and

(B) in respect of Common Stock, each Holder of such Common Stock will not be entitled to any Additional Amounts.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors fail to register both the Notes and the Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the Notes, if any, Additional Amounts shall be payable only in connection with the Registration Default relating to the failure to register the Notes.

Notwithstanding the provisions in this Section 3(a), if any Additional Amounts are payable as a result of the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ failure to add the name of a Holder as an additional selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with applicable law and if such failure shall have not resulted in a Registration Default with respect to the other Holders, only such Holder shall be entitled to receive such Additional Amounts.

(b) All Additional Amounts accrued in accordance with paragraph (A) above shall be paid in arrears to Record Holders by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on each Additional Amounts Payment Date. All Additional Amounts and additional shares of Common Stock payable in accordance with paragraph (B) above shall be paid and delivered on the settlement date relating to the applicable Conversion Date. Upon the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular Note or share of Common Stock, the accrual of Additional Amounts with respect to such Note or share of Common Stock will cease.

All obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors set forth in this Section 3 that are outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such Transfer Restricted Security shall have been satisfied in full.

The Additional Amounts set forth above shall be the exclusive monetary remedy available to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities for each Registration Default.

4. Registration Procedures.

(a) In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof and shall use reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities, and pursuant thereto, shall as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act, or otherwise make available for use by Holders a previously filed Shelf Registration Statement.

(b) In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement and any Prospectus required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of

Transfer Restricted Securities, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall:

(i) Subject to any notice by the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with this Section 4(b) of the existence of any fact or event of the kind described in Section 4(b)(iii)(D), use reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective during the Effectiveness Period; upon the occurrence of any event that would cause the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain 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 (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the Effectiveness Period, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall file promptly a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or a report filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), use reasonable efforts to cause such amendment to become effective and the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to become usable for their intended purposes as soon as practicable thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may suspend the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement by written notice to the Holders for a period not to exceed an aggregate of 45 days in any 90-day period (each such period, a “Suspension Period”) if:

(x) an event occurs and is continuing as a result of which the Shelf Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein would, in the Company’s judgment, contain 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; and

(y) the Company determines in good faith that the disclosure of such event at such time would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its subsidiaries;

provided that, the Suspension Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of 120 days in any 360-day period. The Company shall not be required to specify in the written notice to the Holders the nature of the event giving rise to the Suspension Period. Each Holder agrees, by acquisition of a Transfer

Restricted Security, to hold any communication by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in response to a notice of proposed sale in confidence. No Additional Amounts shall be payable or accrue during any Suspension Period permitted under this Section 4(b)(i).

(ii) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Effectiveness Period; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Notes or shares of Common Stock covered by the Shelf Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus.

(iii) Advise the selling Holders promptly and, if requested by such selling Holders, to confirm such advice in writing, except as provided in clause (D) below:

(B) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto,

(C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Prospectus under the Securities Act or of any notice that would prevent its use, or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes,

(D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event, during the Effectiveness Period, that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Shelf Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or

(E) when any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus includes information that may conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement.

If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, or any notice that would prevent its use, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or a new Shelf Registration and using reasonable efforts to have such amendment or a new Shelf Registration Statement declared effective, and will provide to each Holder who is named in the Shelf Registration Statement prompt notice of the withdrawal of any such order or the filing or effectiveness of any such amendment or new registration statement.

(iv) Make available at reasonable times for inspection by one or more representatives of the selling Holders, designated in writing by a Majority of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement, and any attorney or accountant retained by such selling Holders and any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act, and cause the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ respective officers, directors, managers and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative or representatives of the selling Holders, attorney or accountant in connection therewith, in each case as

customary for comparable due diligence examinations; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall have any obligation to deliver information to any selling Holder or representative pursuant to this Section 4(b)(iv) unless such selling Holder or representative shall have executed and delivered a confidentiality agreement in a form acceptable to the Company relating to such information.

(v) If requested by any selling Holders, promptly incorporate in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus within the applicable time period set forth in Section 2(e), pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such selling Holders may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation, information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities.

(vi) Furnish to each selling Holder upon their request, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto (and any documents incorporated by reference therein or exhibits thereto (or exhibits incorporated in such exhibits by reference) as such Person may reasonably request).

(vii) Deliver to each selling Holder, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as such Persons reasonably may request; subject to any notice by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with this Section 4(b) of the existence of any fact or event of the kind described in Section 4(b)(iii)(B) through (E), the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(viii) Before any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the selling Holders may reasonably request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such

jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantors shall be required (A) to register or qualify as a foreign corporation or a dealer of securities where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject or (B) to subject itself to general or unlimited service of process or to taxation in any such jurisdiction if they are not now so subject.

(ix) Cooperate with the selling Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends (unless required by applicable securities laws); and enable such Transfer Restricted Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request at least two Business Days before any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities.

(x) Use reasonable efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other U.S. governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities.

(xi) Subject to Section 4(b)(i) hereof, if any fact or event contemplated by Section 4(b)(iii)(B) through (D) hereof shall exist or have occurred, use reasonable efforts to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, related Prospectus (including by means of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus), relevant Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, none of the Registration Statement, none of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus and any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances in which they are made) not misleading.

(xii) Obtain CUSIP numbers for all Transfer Restricted Securities not later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration

Statement and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with certificates for the Notes that are in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company.

(xiii) Cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the NASD and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD.

(xiv) Otherwise use reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and all reporting requirements under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act.

(xv) Cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement required by this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the holders of Notes to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute and use reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee thereunder to execute all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner.

(xvi) Cause all Common Stock covered by the Shelf Registration Statement to be listed or quoted, as the case may be, on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

(c) Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of any notice (a “Suspension Notice”) from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 4(b)(iii)(B) through (E) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and use the Prospectus and any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus until:

(i) such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or applicable Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 4(b)(xi) hereof; or

(ii) such Xxxxxx is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus and any applicable Issuer Free Writing Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus unless such filings are made pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 and Section 15 of the Exchange Act and such filings are available through the Commission’s XXXXX system.

If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that was current at the time of receipt of such notice of suspension.

(d) Each Holder agrees, by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security, that no Holder shall be entitled to sell any of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto, unless such Holder has furnished the Company with a completed Notice and Questionnaire as required pursuant to Section 2(e) hereof (including the information required to be included in such Notice and Questionnaire) and the information set forth in the next sentence. Each Notice Holder agrees promptly to furnish to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Notice Holder not misleading and any other information regarding such Notice Holder and the distribution of such Transfer Restricted Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. Any sale of any Transfer Restricted Securities by any Holder shall constitute a representation and warranty by such Holder that the information relating to such Holder and its plan of distribution is as set forth in the Prospectus delivered by such Holder in connection with such disposition, that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale contain any untrue statement of a material fact relating to or provided by such Holder to its plan of distribution and that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale omit to state any material fact relating to or provided by such Holder or its plan of distribution necessary to make the statements in such Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading.

5. Registration Expenses.

All expenses incident to the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ performance of or compliance with this Agreement shall be borne by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors regardless of whether a Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation:

(i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made with the NASD);

(ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws;

(iii) all expenses of printing (including printing of Prospectuses, Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses and certificates for the Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Notes) and the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ expenses for messenger and delivery services and telephone;

(iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors;

(v) all application and filing fees in connection with listing (or authorizing for quotation) the Common Stock on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements hereof; and

(vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall bear their internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of their officers and employees performing legal, accounting or other duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

6. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (including in such capacity, the Initial Purchasers), its directors, officers, and employees and each person, if any, who controls any such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Holder”), against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action relating to resales of the Transfer Restricted Securities), to which such Indemnified

Holder may become subject, insofar as any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action arises out of, or is based upon:

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, in any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or

(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,

and agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Holder promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Holder in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors by or on behalf of such Holder (or its related Indemnified Holder) specifically for use therein; provided further, however, that with respect to any such untrue statement in or omission from any amended or supplemented Prospectus (excluding the correcting amendment or supplement), the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any person indemnified under this Section 6(a) from whom the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action received Notes or Common Stock to the extent that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action of or with respect to such indemnified person results from the fact that both (A) a copy of the Prospectus (together with any correcting amendments or supplements) was not sent or given to such asserting person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Notes or Common Stock to such person and (B) the untrue statement in or omission from any Prospectus was corrected in an amendment or supplement thereto and the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) does not contain any other untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact, unless, in the case of either paragraph (A) or (B) above, such failure to deliver the final Prospectus was a result of noncompliance by the Company with Section 4(b)(vi) or (vii) hereof. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors may otherwise have.

(b) Each Holder, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, their respective directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (i) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors to each such Holder, but only with reference to written information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity and (ii) against any loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action, joint or several, including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action relating to resales of the Transfer Restricted Securities, to which such person may become subject, insofar as any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action arises out of, or is based upon any Free Writing Prospectus used by such holder without the prior written consent of the Issuer, and in connection with any underwritten offering, the underwriters, provided that the indemnification obligation in this clause (ii) shall be several, not joint and several, among the Holders who used such Free Writing Prospectus. This indemnity agreement set forth in this Section shall be in addition to any liabilities which any such Holder may otherwise have. In no event shall any Holder, its directors, officers or any person who controls such Holder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder, its directors, officers or any person who controls such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 6 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified

indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Holders shall have the right to employ a single counsel to represent jointly the Holders and their officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Holders against the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 6 if the Holders seeking indemnification shall have been advised by legal counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Holders and their respective officers, employees and controlling persons that are different from or additional to those available to the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, and in that event, the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor. No indemnifying party shall:

(i) 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 pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, or

(ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss of liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) The indemnifying party under this Section shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be withheld unreasonably, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 6(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding 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.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 shall for any reason be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 6(a) or 6(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein, each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof):

(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors from the offering and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities on the one hand and a Holder with respect to the sale by such Holder of the Transfer Restricted Securities on the other, or

(ii) if the allocation provided by Section (6)(e)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in Section 6(e)(i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or alleged omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and a Holder on the other with respect to such offering and such sale shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes purchased under the Purchase Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, on the one hand, bear to the total proceeds received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities on the other. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to 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 and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand or the Holders on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, each Subsidiary Guarantor and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if the amount of contribution pursuant to this Section 6(e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (e).

The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 6 shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 6, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such action or claim.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Transfer Restricted Securities purchased by it were resold exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 6(e) are several and not joint.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6 shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof, and will survive the sale by a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities.

7. Rule 144A and Rule 144. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted

Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

8. No Participation In Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Holder represents that it has not prepared or had prepared on its behalf or used or referred to, and agrees that it will not prepare or have prepared on its behalf or use or refer to, any Free Writing Prospectus, and has not distributed and will not distribute any written materials in connection with the offer or sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities without the prior express written consent of the Company and, in connection with any underwritten offering, the underwriters. Any such Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Company and, if applicable, the underwriters, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents and agrees that it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and recordkeeping.

(b) Remedies. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledge and agree that any failure by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with its obligations under Section 2 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely, and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under Section 2 hereof. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor further agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(c) Actions Affecting Transfer Restricted Securities. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall, directly or indirectly, take any action with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as a class that would adversely affect the ability of the Holders of Transfer Restricted

Securities to include such Transfer Restricted Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors have not, as of the date hereof, entered into, nor shall any of them, on or after the date hereof, enter into, any agreement with respect to their securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. In addition, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not grant to any of their securityholders (other than the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities in such capacity) the right to include any of their securities in the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in this Agreement other than the Transfer Restricted Securities.

(e) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of a Majority of Holders; provided, however, that with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly adversely affects the rights of the Initial Purchasers hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of the Representative against which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing (except the foregoing proviso), a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof, with respect to a matter, which relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and does not directly or indirectly adversely affect the rights of other Holders, may be given by the Majority Holders, determined on the basis of Notes being sold rather than registered under such Shelf Registration Statement.

(f) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, first class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), telex, facsimile transmission, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

(i) if to a Holder, at the address set forth on the records of the registrar under the Indenture or the transfer agent of the Common Stock, as the case may be; and

(ii) if to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, initially at its address set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt acknowledged, if transmitted by facsimile; at the time acknowledged by a return receipt, if sent by electronic mail; and on the next Business Day, if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.

Any party hereto may change the address for receipt of communications by giving written notice to the others.

(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree to extend the benefit of this Agreement to any Holder and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto.

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(i) Notes Held by the Company or Its Affiliates. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Transfer Restricted Securities is required hereunder, Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holding of such Notes) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

(j) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

(k) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

(l) Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby, it being

intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(m) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein with respect to the registration rights granted by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
