SECTION II - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

In order to induce the Investors and Management Stockholders to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company hereby makes to the Investors and Management Stockholders the following representations and warranties.

2.1. Organization and Corporate Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties, to carry on its business as presently conducted, to enter into and perform this Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments contemplated hereby (together, the “Transaction Documents”) to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction wherein the character of its property, or the nature of the activities presently conducted by it, makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not have, or be reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect on the assets, liabilities, condition (financial or other), business, results of operations or prospects of the Company (a

“Material Adverse Effect”). The Company is not in violation of any term or provision of its Certificate or by-laws (the “By-laws”), each as in effect as of this date.

2.2. Authorization and Non-Contravention. The Transaction Documents are valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws, from time to time in effect, which affect enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, and the issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares in accordance with this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action of the Company and its stockholders. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the sale and delivery of the Shares in accordance with this Agreement and the performance of any transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will not (i) violate, conflict with or result in a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under any contract or obligation to which the Company is a party or by which it or its assets are bound, or any provision of the Certificate or By-Laws, or cause the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company, except for those which would not have, or be reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) violate, conflict with or result in a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under, any provision of any law, regulation or rule, or any order of, or any restriction imposed by any court or other governmental agency applicable to the Company, except for those which would not have, or be reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) require from the Company any notice to, declaration or filing with, or consent or approval of any governmental authority or other third party other than pursuant to federal or state securities or blue sky laws; or (iv) accelerate any obligation under, or give rise to a right of termination of, any agreement, permit, license or authorization to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

2.3. Authorized and Outstanding Stock. Immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions to be effected at the Closing, the authorized capital stock of the Company will consist of (i) 1,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share (for purposes of this Section 2.3, the “Common Stock”), of which 100 shares are issued and outstanding. Immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company will be held beneficially and of record by the persons identified in Schedule 2.3 in the amounts indicated thereon. Schedule 2.3 sets forth the name of each holder of options and warrants for Common Stock, the number of shares for which such options and warrants are exercisable with respect to each holder, along with the applicable vesting schedule, if any, and the exercise price. Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.3 and in the Transaction Documents, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, phantom rights, commitments, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any kind for or relating to the issuance, or sale of, or outstanding securities convertible into or exchangeable for, any shares of capital stock of any class or other equity interests of the Company. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.3, the Company has no obligation to purchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire any of its capital stock or any interests therein. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company will have been duly and validly authorized and issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable. The offer, issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares are or will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities

Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and the qualification or registration provisions of applicable state securities laws. Neither the Company nor its authorized agents will take any action that would cause the loss of such exemption. The relative rights, preferences and other terms relating to the Preferred Stock are as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, and such rights and preferences are valid and enforceable under Delaware law. There are no preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, put or call rights or obligations or anti-dilution rights with respect to the issuance, sale or redemption of the Company’s capital stock, other than rights set forth herein or in the Certificate, the Stockholders Agreement attached as Exhibit B or the Registration Rights Agreement attached as Exhibit C. Other than the rights set forth in the Transaction Documents or in Schedule 2.3, there are no rights to have the Company’s capital stock registered for sale to the public pursuant to the laws of any jurisdiction, and there are no agreements of which the Company is aware, other than the Transaction Documents, relating to the voting of the Company’s voting securities or restrictions on the transfer of the Company’s capital stock.

2.4. Subsidiaries. The Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any interest in any other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association or other business entity.

2.5. Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as a result of or arising out of the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents, the Company does not have any liability or obligation of any nature, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, in any case which has, or is reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not assumed, guaranteed, endorsed or otherwise become directly or contingently liable on or for any indebtedness of any other person.

Neither the Company nor any officer, key employee or stockholder in his or her capacity as such is, to the knowledge of the Company, a party to or in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree, ruling or decision of any court, commission, board or other government agency which may have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.20. Disclosures. Neither the Transaction Documents, nor any other agreement, document or written statement made by the Company and furnished by the Company to the Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances in which they were made. To the Company’s knowledge, there is no material fact directly relating to the business, operations, condition or prospects of the Company (including any competitive developments, but other than facts which relate to general economic or industry trends or conditions) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth in this Agreement or in any Schedule hereto.

SECTION III - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE INVESTORS AND MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDERS

Each Investor (which for purposes of this Section III only shall include the Management Stockholders), severally and not jointly, hereby represents, warrants and covenants that (other than Section 3.5 with respect to the Management Stockholders):

3.1. Authorization. Such Investor has full power and authority to enter into each of the Transaction Documents, and each such agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

3.2. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with such Investor in reliance upon such Investor’s representation to the Company, which by such Investor’s execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms, that the Shares to be received by such Investor will be acquired for investment for such Investor’s own account (or the account of their respective affiliates), not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of any applicable law, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same to any other person. By executing this Agreement, such Investor further represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.

3.3. Disclosure of Information. Such Investor represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the Investors to rely thereon.

3.4. Investment Experience. Such Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. If other than an individual, such Investor also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.

3.5. Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.

3.6. Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Securities it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited circumstances. In the absence of any effective registration statement covering the Shares or an available exemption from registration under the Act, the Shares must be held indefinitely. In this connection, such Investor represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act, including without limitation the Rule 144 condition that current information about the Company be available to the public. Such information is not now available and the Company has no present plans to make such information available.

3.7. Authority and Non-Contravention. The Transaction Documents are valid and binding obligations of the Investors, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws, from time to time in effect, which affect enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action of such Investor. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the performance of any transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will not (i) violate, conflict with or result in a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under any material contract or obligation to which such Investor is a party or by which their or its assets are bound, or any provision of such Investors’ organizational documents, or cause the creation of any encumbrance upon any of the material assets of such Investors; (ii) violate, conflict with or result in a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under, any provision of any law, regulation or rule, or any order of, or any restriction imposed by any court or other governmental agency applicable to the Investors; (iii) require from such Investor any notice to, declaration or filing with, or consent or approval of any governmental authority or other third party other than pursuant to federal or state securities or blue sky laws; or (iv) accelerate any obligation under, or give rise to a right of termination of, any agreement, permit, license or authorization to which such Investor is a party or by which it is bound.

3.8. Investment Banking; Brokerage Fees. No Investor has incurred or taken any action so that the Company is liable for or become liable for any investment banking fees, brokerage commissions, broker’s or finder’s fees or similar compensation (exclusive of professional fees to lawyers and accountants) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed a contract made under the laws of the State of Delaware and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof or the transactions contemplated herein, shall be construed under and governed by the laws of such state, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles.

5.10. Dispute Resolution.

(a) All disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, that are not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration to be conducted before J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. or its successor. The parties understand and agree that this arbitration provision shall apply equally to claims of fraud or fraud in the inducement. The arbitration shall be held in Delaware before a single arbitrator and shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. unless specifically modified herein.

The parties covenant and agree that the arbitration shall commence within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party shall provide to the other, no later than fourteen (14) business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration, a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a party’s witness or expert, and a summary of the expert’s opinions and the basis for said opinions. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the arbitration. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.

The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will share equally its costs, except as otherwise provided herein. Any party unsuccessfully refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators shall be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. This Section 5.10 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this Section 5.10 shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Subject to the second sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, the parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration. The parties will share equally in the fees and expenses charged by J.A.M.S.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and further consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of Delaware for the purposes of enforcing the arbitration provisions of Section 5.10(a) of this Agreement. Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding before J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim in any court that arbitration before J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.

The voting powers, designations, preferences, powers and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of each class of capital stock of the Corporation, shall be as provided in this Article IV.

A. SERIES A REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

1. Designation. A total of 71,791,546 shares of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock shall be designated as a series known as Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock.

2. Dividends. The holders of outstanding shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, prior to the payment of any dividends on the Common Stock or any

other class or series of capital stock ranking with respect to the payment of dividends junior to the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, dividends at the rate of six per cent (6%) of the per share purchase price of One Dollar ($1.00) per annum per share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (as adjusted for subsequent stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or the like with respect to such share) from the date of original issuance of such share, which dividends shall be cumulative and accrue daily in arrears and be compounded annually, whether or not such dividends are declared by the Board of Directors or paid.

3. Liquidation; Merger, etc.

(a) Liquidation Preference. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation Event”), each holder of outstanding shares-of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid in cash, before any amount shall be paid or distributed to the holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, an amount per share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock equal to (i) One Dollar ($1.00), plus (ii) an amount equal to all accumulated but unpaid dividends on such share, of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (such amount to be adjusted appropriately for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock) (the “Series A Redeemable Liquidation Preference Amount”). If the amounts available for distribution by the Corporation to holders of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock upon a Liquidation Event are not sufficient to pay the aggregate Series A Redeemable Liquidation Preference Amount due to such holders, such holders of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled.

(b) Remaining Assets. In connection with a Liquidation Event, after the prior payment in full of the aggregate Series A Redeemable Liquidation Preference Amount and, thereafter, any amount payable upon a Liquidation Event to the holders of any other class or series of capital stock ranking on liquidation senior to the Common Stock, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, if any, shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock then outstanding.

(c) Amount Payable in Mergers, etc. The holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (a “Series A Redeemable, Majority Interest”) may elect to have treated as a Liquidation Event: (i) any merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with another corporation (except one in which the holders of capital stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold, in substantially the same relative proportions, at least a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the surviving corporation), (ii) any sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or (iii) any other transaction pursuant to or as a result of which a single person (or group of affiliated persons) acquires or holds capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the Corporation’s outstanding voting power (a “Change of Control Transaction”). If such election is made, all consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation in connection with any such merger, consolidation, or Change of Control Transaction, or all consideration payable to the Corporation and distributable to its stockholders, together with all other available assets of the Corporation (net of obligations owed

by the Corporation that are senior to any outstanding Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock), in connection with any such asset sale, shall be, paid by the purchaser to the holders of, or distributed by the Corporation in redemption (out of funds legally available therefor) of, the capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with the preferences and priorities set forth in Section A.3(a) and Section A.3(b), above, with such preferences and priorities specifically intended to be applicable in any such merger, consolidation, asset sale, or Change of Control Transaction as if such transaction were a Liquidation Event. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Corporation shall take such actions as are necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Section A.3(c), including without limitation, (i) in the case of a merger, consolidation or Change of Control Transaction, causing the definitive agreement relating to such merger, consolidation or Change of Control Transaction to provide for a rate at which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation are converted into or exchanged for cash, new securities or other property which gives effect to the preferences and priorities-of the capital stock of the Corporation as set forth in Section A.3(a) and Section A.3(b) above, or (ii) in the case of an asset sale, redeeming in full the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock on the terms provided herein. The Corporation shall promptly provide to the holders of shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock such information concerning the terms of such merger, consolidation, asset sale, or Change of Control Transaction and the value of the assets of the Corporation as may reasonably be requested by the holders of the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock. The amount deemed distributed to the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such transaction shall be the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities distributed to such holders by the Corporation or the acquiring person, firm or other entity. Any election pursuant to this Section A.3(c) by a Series A Redeemable Majority Interest shall be made by written notice to the Corporation at least five (5) days prior to the closing of the relevant transaction. Upon any such election, all holders of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, shall be deemed to have made such election and such election shall bind all such holders.

(d) Valuation of Securities or Other Non-Cash Consideration. For purposes of valuing any securities or other noncash consideration to be delivered to the holders of the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock in connection with any transaction to which Section A.3(c) is applicable, the following shall apply:

(i) If any such securities are traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of such securities on such exchange or system over the 30-day period ending three (3) business days prior to the closing;

(ii) If any such securities are traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of such securities over the 30-day period ending three (3) business days prior to the closing; and

(iii) If there is no active public market for such securities or other noncash consideration, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined in good faith by the Corporation and the holders of not less than a Series A Redeemable Majority Interest, provided that if the Corporation and the holders of such applicable majority interest are unable to reach agreement, then by independent appraisal

by a mutually agreed to investment banker, the fees of which shall be paid by the Corporation.

4. Redemption. The Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the redemption rights set forth in this Section A.4.

(a) Optional Redemption. The holders of a Series A Redeemable Majority Interest may elect to have all (but not less than all) of the outstanding shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock redeemed (A) on or at any time after the fifth (5t) anniversary of the date of original issuance of the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A, Redeemable Closing Date”), or (B) upon the closing of the Corporation’s initial public offering of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In such event, the Corporation shall redeem all (but not less than all) of the outstanding shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock in cash, out of funds legally available therefor, at the Series A Redeemable Redemption Price specified in Section A.4(b). Any election by a Series A Redeemable Majority Interest pursuant to this Section A.4(a) shall be made by written notice to the Corporation and the other holders of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date elected by the Series A Redeemable Majority Interest for redemption (the “Series A Redeemable Redemption Date”). Upon such election, all holders of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have elected to have their shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this Section A.4(a) and such election shall bind all holders of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock.

(b) Redemption Price. The price for each share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this Section A.4 shall be an amount equal to the Series A Redeemable Liquidation Preference Amount, (such amount to be adjusted appropriately for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations (the “Series A Redeemable Redemption Price”)). The aggregate Series A Redeemable Redemption Price shall be payable, out of funds legally available therefor, in cash in immediately available funds to the respective holders of the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock on the Series A Redeemable Redemption Date.

(c) Insufficient Funds. If the funds of the Corporation legally available to redeem shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock on the Series A Redeemable Redemption Date, are insufficient to redeem the total number of such shares required to be redeemed on such date, the Corporation shall take any action necessary or appropriate, to the extent reasonably within its control, to remove promptly any impediments to its ability to redeem the total number of shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock required to be so redeemed, and, in any event, shall use any funds that are legally available to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares from the holders of such shares to be redeemed in proportion to the respective number of such shares that otherwise would have been redeemed if all such shares had been redeemed in full. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available to redeem such shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall immediately use such funds to redeem the balance of the shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on the Series A Redeemable Redemption Date, (but which it has not redeemed), at such Series A Redeemable Redemption Price.

(d) Dividend After Redemption Date. In the event that shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, required to be redeemed are not redeemed and continue to be outstanding, such shares shall continue to be entitled to dividends thereon as provided in Section A.2 until the date on which the Corporation actually redeems such shares.

(e) Surrender of Certificates. Each holder of shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to the Corporation, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto), or, in the event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen or missing, shall deliver an affidavit of loss, at the principal executive office of the Corporation or such other place as the Corporation may from time to time designate by notice to the holders of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired and the Corporation shall thereafter make payment of the applicable redemption price by certified check or wire transfer, provided, however, that if the Corporation has insufficient funds legally available to redeem all shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, , required to be redeemed, each holder shall, in addition to receiving the payment of the portion of the aggregate redemption price that the Corporation is not legally prohibited from paying to such holder by certified check or wire transfer, receive a new stock certificate for those shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock not so redeemed.

5. Covenants.

Section 3.2 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 3.3 and 3.4 shall not apply to either of the Transfers listed below, provided that in each case the Transferee shall have entered into a Joinder Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A providing that all Shares so Transferred shall continue to be subject to all provisions of this Agreement as if such Shares were still held by such Management Stockholder, except that no further Transfer shall thereafter be permitted hereunder except in compliance with Sections 3.3 and 3.4:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any failure by a Transferee under this Section 3.2 to execute a Joinder Agreement, such Transferee shall take any Shares so Transferred subject to all provisions of this Agreement as if such Shares were still held by the Management Stockholder making such Transfer, whether or not they so agree in writing.

Section 3.3 Right of Refusal.

(a) Offer Notice. The Transferor shall cause the Transaction Offer and all of the terms thereof to be reduced to writing and shall promptly notify the Company and each of the Investors of such Transferor’s desire to effect the Transaction Offer and otherwise comply with the provisions of this Section 3.3 and, if applicable, Section 3.4 (such notice, the “Offer Notice”). The Transferor’s Offer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer to sell all but not less than all of the Shares which are the subject of the Transaction Offer (the “Offered Shares”) first to the Company and then, in the event that the Company fails to purchase all of the Offered Shares, to the Investors, on the basis described below, at a purchase price equal to the price contained in,

and on the same terms and conditions of, the Transaction Offer. The Offer Notice shall be accompanied by a true copy of the Transaction Offer (which shall identify the Buyer and all relevant information in connection therewith).

(b) Company Option. The Company shall have the first option to purchase all but not less than all of the Offered Shares. At any time within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of the Offer Notice (the “Company Option Period”), the Company may elect to accept the offer to purchase with respect to any or all of the Offered Shares and shall give written notice of such election (the “Company Acceptance Notice”) to the Transferor within the Company Option Period. The Company Acceptance Notice shall constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of the Shares covered by the Company Acceptance Notice. If the Company accepts the offer to purchase all of the Offered Shares, the closing for such purchase of the Offered Shares by the Company under this Section 3.3(b) shall take place within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Company Option Period, at the offices of the Company or on such other date or at such other place as may be agreed to by the Transferor and the Company. If the Company fails to purchase all of the Offered Shares by exercising its option under this Section 3.3(b) within the period provided, the Transferor shall so notify the Investors promptly (the “Additional Offer Notice”) and the Remaining Shares shall be subject to the options granted to the Investors pursuant to Section 3.3(c) below.

(c) Investors’ Option. If the Company fails to purchase the Offered Shares under Section 3.3(b) above, at any time within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Investors of the Additional Offer Notice (the “Investor Option Period”), each Investor may elect to accept the offer to purchase with respect to any or all of the Remaining Shares and shall give written notice of such election (the “Investor Acceptance Notice”) to the Transferor and each Investor within the Investor Option Period, which notice shall indicate the maximum number of Shares that the Investor is willing to purchase, including the number of Shares it would purchase if one or more other Investors do not elect to purchase their Pro Rata Fractions (as defined in paragraph (d) below). If, and only if, the Investor Acceptance Notices delivered pursuant to this Section 3.3(c) taken together indicate a desire to purchase all but not less than all of the Offered Shares, the Investor Acceptance Notice shall constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of the Shares covered by the Investor Acceptance Notice. The closing for any purchase of Shares by the Investors under this Section 3.3(c) shall take place within thirty (30) days following the expiration of Investor Option Period, at the offices of the Company or on such other date or at such other place as may be agreed to by the Transferor and such Investors. The Transferor shall notify the Investors promptly if any Investor fails to offer to purchase all of its Pro Rata Fraction.

(d) Allocation of Shares among Investors. Upon the expiration of the Investor Option Period, the number of Shares to be purchased by each Investor shall be determined as follows: (i) first, there shall be allocated to each Investor electing to purchase, a number of Shares equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Shares as to which such Investor accepted as set forth in its respective Investor Acceptance Notice or (B) such Investor’s Pro Rata Fraction (as defined below), and (ii) second, the balance, if any, not allocated under clause (i) above, shall be allocated to those Investors who within the Investor Option Period delivered an Investor Acceptance Notice that set forth a number of Shares that exceeded their respective Pro Rata

Fractions, in each case on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of Shares held by each such Investor up to the amount of such excess. An Investor’s “Pro Rata Fraction” shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the total number of Offered Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares owned by such Investor, and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares held by all Investors, in each case as of the date of the Offer Notice.

(e) Valuation of Property. In the event that the price set forth in the Offer Notice is stated in consideration other than cash or cash equivalents, the Transferor, the Company and a Majority Interest shall mutually determine the fair market value of such consideration, reasonably and in good faith, and the Company and/or the Investors, as the case may be, may effect their purchase under this Section 3.3 by payment of such fair market value in cash or cash equivalents.

(f) Sale to Third Party.

Promptly after such Transfer, the Transferor shall notify the Company, which in turn shall promptly notify all the Investors, of the consummation thereof and shall furnish such evidence of the completion and time of completion of the Transfer. Prior to the effectiveness of any Transfer to a Buyer hereunder, such Buyer shall have entered into a Joinder Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and such Buyer shall have all the rights and obligations hereunder as if such Buyer were a Management Stockholder. If the Transferor’s sale to a Buyer is not consummated in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Offer on or before sixty (60) calendar days after the latest of: (i) the expiration of the Company Option Period, (ii) the expiration of the Investor Option Period, (iii) the expiration of the Co-Sale Election Period set forth in Section 3.4 below, if applicable, and (iv) the satisfaction of all governmental approval or filing requirements, the Transaction Offer shall be deemed to lapse, and any Transfers of Shares pursuant to such Transaction Offer shall be in violation of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Transferor sends a new Offer Notice and once again complies with the provisions of this Section 3.3 with respect to such Transaction Offer.

To the extent one or more Stockholders exercise their Co-Sale Option in accordance with this Section 3.4, the number of Shares that the Transferor may Transfer in the Transaction Offer shall be correspondingly reduced.

(b) Stockholder Acceptance. Each of the Stockholders shall have the right to exercise its Co-Sale Option by giving written notice of such intent to participate (the “Co-Sale Acceptance Notice”) to the Transferor within ten (10) days after receipt by such Stockholder of the Co-Sale Notice (the “Co-Sale Election Period”). Each Co-Sale Acceptance Notice shall indicate the maximum number of Shares subject thereto which the Stockholder wishes to sell, including the number of Shares it would sell if one or more other Stockholders do ‘not elect to participate in the sale on the terms and conditions stated in the Offer Notice.

(c) Allocation of Shares. Each Stockholder shall have the right to sell a portion of its Shares pursuant to the Transaction Offer which is equal to or less than the product obtained by multiplying the total number of Shares available for sale to the Buyer subject to the Transaction Offer by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares owned by such Stockholder and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares held by all Stockholders and the Transferor, in each case as of the date of the Offer Notice, subject to increase as hereinafter provided. In the event any Stockholder does not elect to sell the full amount of such Shares which such Stockholder is entitled to sell pursuant to this Section 3.4, then any Stockholders who have elected to sell Shares shall have the right to sell, on a pro-rata basis (based on the number of Shares held by each such Stockholder) with any other Stockholders and up to the maximum number of Shares stated in each such Stockholder’s Co-Sale Acceptance Notice, any Shares not elected to be sold by such Stockholder.

(d) Co-Sale Closing. Within ten (10) calendar days after the end of the Co-Sale Election Period, the Transferor shall promptly notify each participating Stockholder of the number of Shares held by such Stockholder that will be included in the sale and the date on which the Transaction Offer will be consummated, which shall be no later than the later of (i) thirty (30) calendar days after the end of the Co-Sale Election Period and (ii) the satisfaction of any governmental approval or filing requirements, if any. Each participating Stockholder may effect its participation in any Transaction Offer hereunder by delivery to the Buyer, or to the Transferor for delivery to the Buyer, of one or more instruments or certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, representing the Shares it elects to sell pursuant thereto. At the time of consummation of the Transaction Offer, the Buyer shall remit directly to each participating Stockholder that portion of the sale proceeds to which the participating Stockholder is entitled by reason of its participation with respect thereto. No Shares may be purchased by the Buyer from the Transferor unless the Buyer simultaneously purchases from the participating Stockholders all of the Shares that they have elected to sell pursuant to this Section 3.4.

(e) Liability of Stockholders. Each participating Stockholder shall be liable to the Buyer only to the same extent as the Transferor with respect to representations and warranties regarding the Company or its business, on a several basis for each such Stockholder’s pro rata portion, provided that each such Stockholder’s liability with respect to such representations and warranties shall not exceed the value of the proceeds received by such Stockholder upon the consummation of the Transaction Offer and, provided further, that no Stockholder shall be required to make any other representations or warranties or to provide any indemnities in connection therewith other than with respect to title to the shares being conveyed.

(f) Sale to Third Party. Any Shares held by a Transferor that are the subject of the Transaction Offer and that the Transferor desires to Transfer following compliance with

this Section 3.4, may be sold to the Buyer only during the period specified in Section 3.4(d) and only on terms no more favorable to the Transferor than those contained in the Offer Notice. Promptly after such Transfer, the Transferor shall notify the Company, which in turn shall promptly notify all the Stockholders, of the consummation thereof and shall furnish such evidence of the completion and time of completion of the Transfer and of the terms thereof as may reasonably be requested by a Majority Interest. Prior to the effectiveness of any Transfer to a Buyer hereunder, such Buyer shall have entered into a Joinder Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and such Buyer shall have all the rights and obligations hereunder as if such Buyer were a Management Stockholder. In the event that the Transaction Offer is not consummated within the period required by this Section 3.4 or the Buyer fails timely to remit to each participating Stockholder its respective portion of the sale proceeds, the Transaction Offer shall be deemed to lapse, and any Transfer of Shares pursuant to such Transaction Offer shall be in violation of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Transferor sends a new Offer Notice and once again complies with the provisions of Sections 3.3 and 3.4 with respect to such Transaction Offer.

Section 3.5 Contemporaneous Transfers. If two or more Management Stockholders propose concurrent Transfers that are subject to this Section III, then the relevant provisions of Sections 3.3 and 3.4, as applicable, shall apply separately to each such proposed Transfer.

It is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by any Person subject hereto will result in irreparable injury to the other parties hereto, that the remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and that, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies which they may have, such other parties may enforce their respective rights by actions for specific performance (to the extent permitted by law) and the Company may refuse to recognize any unauthorized Transferee as one of its Stockholders for any purpose, including, without limitation, for purposes of dividend and voting rights, until the relevant party or parties have complied with all applicable provisions of this Agreement.

In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be in anyway impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 8.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein.

Section 8.9 Adjustments. All references to share prices and amounts herein shall be equitably adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar changes affecting the capital stock of the Company.

Section 8.10 Law Governing. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law).

Section 8.11 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto as contemplated herein, and any successor to the Company by way of merger or otherwise shall specifically agree to be bound by the terms hereof as a condition of such successor. The rights of the Investors hereunder shall be assignable to Transferees of their Shares as contemplated herein. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Management Stockholder except as provided herein without the prior written consent of the Company and a Majority Interest, and without such prior written consent any attempted Transfer shall be null and void.

Section 8.12 Dispute Resolution. All disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, that are not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration to be conducted before J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. or its successor. The parties understand and agree that this arbitration provision shall apply equally to claims of fraud or fraud in the inducement. The arbitration shall be held in Delaware before a single arbitrator and shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by J.A.M.S. Endispute, Inc. unless specifically modified herein.

The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will share equally its costs, except as otherwise provided herein. The arbitrator

may in his or her discretion assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party) against any party to a proceeding. Any party unsuccessfully refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators shall be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. This Section applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this Section shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(a) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and further consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of Delaware for the purposes of enforcing the arbitration provisions of Section 7.8(a) of this Agreement. Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding before J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim in any court that arbitration before J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of this day of 2003, by and among GHP Acquisition Corp., Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the persons identified on the signature pages hereto as Investors (collectively, the “Investors,” and each individually, an “Investor”) and the persons identified on the signature pages hereto as Management Stockholders (collectively, the “Management Stockholders,” and each individually, a “Management Stockholder”). The Management Stockholders and the Investors are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Stockholders,” and each individually as a “Stockholder.”

WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement entered into a certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May , 2003 (the “Purchase Agreement”), whereby the Stockholders agreed to purchase (i) shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $34,923,565, and (ii) shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock” and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Securities”) from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $8,500; and

WHEREAS, the execution of this Agreement is an inducement and a condition precedent to the purchase by the Stockholders of the Securities under the Purchase Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, as an inducement to the Stockholders to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Stockholders hereby covenant and agree with each other as follows:

1. Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

“Commission” shall mean the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other federal agency administering the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at the time.

“Common Stock” shall mean the Common Stock and any other common equity securities issued by the Company, and any other shares of, stock issued or issuable with respect thereto (whether by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in exchange for or upon conversion of such shares or otherwise in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger: consolidation or other corporate reorganization).

“Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time.

“Person” shall mean an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a joint venture, a trust, an unincorporated organization, a limited liability company or partnership, a government and any agency or political subdivision thereof.

“Registrable Securities” shall mean (i) any shares of Common Stock held by the Stockholders at any time, and (ii) any other securities issued and issuable with respect to any such shares described in clause (i) above by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization (it being understood that for purposes of this Agreement, a Person will be deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person has the right to then acquire or obtain from the Company any Registrable Securities, whether or not such acquisition has actually been effected).

“Registration Expenses” shall mean the expenses so described in Section 6 hereof.

“Securities Act” shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar successor federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time.

All other capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

2. Demand Registration.

(a) At any time after 180 days after the initial public offering of the Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act, the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities may notify the Company that they intend to offer or cause to be offered for public sale all or any portion of their Registrable Securities in the manner specified in such request. Upon receipt of such request, the Company shall promptly deliver notice of such request to all Stockholders holding Registrable Securities who shall then have thirty (30) days to notify the Company in writing of their desire to be included in such registration. If the request for registration contemplates an underwritten public offering, the Company shall state such in the written notice and in such event the right of any Person to participate in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Person’s participation in such underwritten public offering and the inclusion of such Person’s Registrable Securities in the underwritten public offering to the extent provided herein. The Company will use its best efforts to expeditiously effect (but in any event no later than forty-five (45) days after such request) the registration of all Registrable Securities whose holders request participation in such registration under the Securities Act, but only to the extent provided for in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect registration pursuant to a request under this Section 2 more than three (3) times for the holders of the Registrable Securities as a group. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no request may be made under this Section 2 within ninety (90) days after the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Company covering a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the holders of Registrable Securities shall have been entitled to join pursuant to Section 4 and in which there shall have been effectively registered all Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been requested. A registration will not count as a requested registration under this section 2(a) unless and until the registration statement relating to such registration has been declared effective by the Commission at the request of the initiating shareholders; provided, however, that a majority in interest of the participating holders of Registrable Securities may request, in writing, that the Company withdraw a registration statement which has been filed under this

Section 2(a) but has not yet been declared effective, and a majority in interest of such holders may thereafter request the Company to reinstate such registration statement, if permitted under the Securities Act, or to file another registration statement, in accordance with the procedures set forth herein and without reduction in the number of demand registrations permitted under this Section 2(a).

(b) If a requested registration involves an underwritten public offering and the managing underwriter of such offering determines in good faith that the number of securities sought to be offered should be limited due to market conditions, then the number of securities to be included in such underwritten public offering shall be reduced to a number deemed satisfactory by such managing underwriter, provided, that the shares to be excluded shall be determined in the following order of priority: (i) persons not having any contractual or other right to include such securities in the registration statement, (ii) securities held by any other Persons (other than the holders of Registrable Securities) having a contractual, incidental “piggy back” right to include such securities in the registration statement, (iii) securities to be registered by the Company pursuant to such registration statement, (iv) Registrable Securities of holders who did not make the original request for registration and, if necessary, (v) Registrable Securities of holders who requested such registration pursuant to Section 2(a). If there is a reduction of the number of Registrable Securities pursuant to clauses (iv) or (v), such reduction shall be made on a pro rata basis (based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by such holders).

(c) With respect to a request for registration pursuant to Section 2(a) which is for an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall be chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company may not cause any other registration of securities for sale for its own account (other than a registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Securities Act is applicable) to become effective within one hundred twenty (120) days following the effective date of any registration required pursuant to this Section 2.

3. Form S-3. After the first public offering of its securities registered under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its best efforts to qualify and remain qualified to register securities pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form) under the Securities Act. A Stockholder or Stockholders holding Registrable Securities anticipated to have an aggregate sale price (net underwriting discounts and commissions, if any) in excess of $500,000 shall have the right to request any number of registrations on Form S-3 (or any successor form) for the Registrable Securities held by such requesting holders. Such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended method of disposition of such shares by such holder or holders. The Company shall give notice to all other holders of the Registrable Securities of the receipt of a request for registration pursuant to this Section 3 and such holders of Registrable Securities shall then have thirty (30) days to notify the Company in writing of their desire to participate in the registration. The Company shall uses its best efforts to effect promptly the registration of all shares on Form S-3 (or a comparable successor form) to the extent requested by such holders. The Company shall use its best efforts to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of 90 days or until such holders have completed the distribution described in such registration statement.

4. Piggyback Registration. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale to the public (except with respect to registration statements on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public), each such time it will give written notice at the applicable address of record to each holder of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so. Upon the written request of any of such holders of the Registrable Securities, given within twenty (20) days after receipt by such Person of such notice, the Company will, subject to the limits contained in this Section 4, use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities of said requesting holders to be registered under the Securities Act and qualified for sale under any state blue sky law, all to the extent required to permit such sale or other disposition of said Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if the Company is advised in writing in good faith by any managing underwriter of the Company’s securities being offered in a public offering pursuant to such registration statement that the amount to be sold by persons other than the Company (collectively, “Selling Stockholders”) is greater than the amount which can be offered without adversely affecting the offering, the Company may reduce the amount offered for the accounts of Selling Stockholders (including such holders of shares of Registrable Securities) to a number deemed satisfactory by such managing underwriter; and provided further, that (a) in no event shall the amount of Registrable Securities of selling Stockholders be reduced below ten percent (10%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the initial public offering of the Company’s securities; and (b) any shares to be excluded shall be determined in the following order of priority: (i) securities held by any Persons not having any such contractual, incidental registration rights, (ii) securities held by any Persons having contractual, incidental registration rights pursuant to an agreement which is not this Agreement, and (iii) the Registrable Securities sought to be included by the holders thereof as determined on a pro rata basis (based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by such holders).

5. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of this Agreement to use its best efforts to promptly effect the registration of any of its securities under the Securities Act, the Company will:

(a) use its best efforts diligently to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to such securities, which form shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the Commission to be filed therewith, and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective until completion of the proposed offering;

(b) use its best efforts to diligently prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in such registration statement and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement whenever the seller or sellers of such securities shall desire to sell or otherwise dispose of the same, but only to the extent provided in this Agreement;

(c) furnish to each selling holder and the underwriters, if any, such number of copies of such registration statement, any amendments thereto, any documents incorporated by reference therein, the prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such selling holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the securities owned by such selling holder;

(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or state blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as. each selling holder shall request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary under such securities or blue sky laws to enable such selling holder to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such selling holder, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified;

(e) within a reasonable time before each filing of the registration statement or prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto with the Commission, furnish to counsel selected by the holders of Registrable Securities copies of such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the approval of such counsel;

(f) immediately notify each selling holder of Registrable Securities, such selling holder’s counsel and any underwriter and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing, of the happening of any event which makes any statement made in the registration statement or related prospectus untrue or which requires the making of any changes in such registration statement or prospectus so that they 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading; and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the Commission and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter deliverable to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(g) use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, and if one is issued use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement at the earliest possible moment;

(h) if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters (if any), any selling holder, or such selling holder’s counsel, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such Person requests to be included therein, including, without limitation, with respect to the securities being sold by such selling holder to such underwriter or underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or underwriters and with respect to any other terms of an underwritten offering of the securities to be sold in such offering, and promptly make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

(i) make available to each selling holder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained by any such selling holder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement;

(j) enter into any reasonable underwriting agreement required by the proposed underwriter(s) for the selling holders, if any, and use its best efforts to facilitate the public offering of the securities;

(k) furnish to each prospective selling holder a signed counterpart, addressed to the prospective selling holder, of (A) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the effective date of the registration statement, and (B) a “comfort” letter signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements included in the registration statement, covering substantially the same matters with respect to the registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and (in the case of the accountants’ letter) with respect to events subsequent to the date of the financial statements, as are customarily covered (at the time of such registration) in opinions of the Company’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to the underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities;

(l) cause the securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on the securities exchange or quoted on the quotation system on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed or quoted (or if the Common Stock is not yet listed or quoted, then on such exchange or quotation system as the selling holders of Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine);

(m) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its security holders, in each case as soon as practicable, but not later than 30 days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement of the Company which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any comparable successor provisions);

(n) otherwise cooperate with the underwriter(s), the Commission and other regulatory agencies and take all actions and execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all documents necessary to effect the registration of any securities under this Agreement; and

(o) during the period when the prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, promptly file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

6. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company or the Stockholders in effecting the registrations provided for in Sections 2, 3 and 4, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the

Company, and one counsel for the Stockholders participating in such registration as a group (selected by a majority-in-interest of the holders of Registrable Securities who participate in the registration) underwriting expenses (other than fees, commissions or discounts), expenses of any audits incident to or required by any such registration and expenses of complying with the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdictions (all of such expenses referred to as “Registration Expenses”), shall be paid by the Company.

7. Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder that is a selling holder of Registrable Securities (including its partners (including partners of partners and shareholders of such partners)), each underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), and directors, officers, employees and agents of any of them, and each other Person who participates in the offering of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such seller, underwriter or participating Person (individually and collectively, the “Indemnified Person”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “liability”), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such liability (or action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, any state securities or “blue sky” laws or any sale or regulation thereunder in connection with such registration. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(d), the Company shall reimburse each such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such liability; provided , however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Person specifically for use therein; and provided further, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify any Person against any liability arising from any untrue or misleading statement or omission contained in any preliminary prospectus if such deficiency is corrected in the final prospectus or for any liability which arises out of the failure of any Person to deliver a prospectus as required by the Securities Act regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person and shall survive transfer of such securities by such seller.

(b) Each Stockholder holding of any securities included in such registration being effected shall indemnify and hold harmless each other selling holder of any securities, the Company, its directors and officers, each underwriter and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company or such underwriter (individually and collectively also the “Indemnified Person”), against any liability, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the

effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which securities were registered under the Securities Act at the request of such selling Stockholder, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission by such selling Stockholder to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the case of (i) and (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling Stockholder specifically for use therein. Such selling Stockholder shall reimburse any Indemnified Person for any legal fees incurred in investigating or defending any such liability; provided, however, that in no event shall the liability of any Stockholder for indemnification under this Section 7 in its capacity as a seller of Registrable Securities exceed the lesser of (i) that proportion of the total of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities indemnified against equal to the proportion of the total securities sold under such registration statement which is being held by such Stockholder, or (ii) the amount equal to the proceeds to such Stockholder of the securities sold in any such registration; and provided further, however, that no selling Stockholder shall be required to indemnify any Person against any liability arising from any untrue or misleading statement or omission contained in any preliminary prospectus if such deficiency is corrected in the final prospectus or for any liability which arises out of the failure of any Person to deliver a prospectus as required by the Securities Act.

(c) Indemnification similar to that specified in Sections 7(a) and (b) shall be given by the Company and each selling holder (with such modifications as may be appropriate) with respect to any required registration or other qualification of their securities under any federal or state law, or regulation of governmental authority other than the Securities Act.

(d) In the event the Company, any selling holder or other Person receives a complaint, claim or other notice of any liability or action, giving rise to a claim for indemnification under Sections 7(a), (b) or (c) above, the Person claiming indemnification under such paragraphs shall promptly notify the Person against whom indemnification is sought of such complaint, notice, claim or action, and such indemnifying Person shall have the right to investigate and defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 for any reason is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Person in respect of any losses, claims, damages expenses or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under this Section 7, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the Stockholder, or Stockholders and the underwriters from the offering of Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law,, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, the other Stockholders and the underwriters in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages expenses or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, the Stockholders and the underwriters shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions that the net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, the Stockholders, and the underwriting discount received by the underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the applicable prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Registrable Securities. The relative fault of the Company, the Stockholders and the

underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Stockholders, or the underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company, the Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. In no event, however, shall an Stockholder be required to contribute under this Section 7(e) in excess of the lesser of (i) that proportion of the total of such losses, claims, damages expenses or liabilities indemnified against equal to the proportion of the total Registrable Securities sold under such registration statement which are being sold by such Stockholder or (ii) the net proceeds received by such Stockholder from its sale of Registrable Securities under such registration statement. No Person found guilty of fraudulent representation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) The amount paid by an indemnifying party or payable to an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities referred to in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, subject to limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, payable as the same are incurred. The indemnification and contribution provided for in this Section 7 will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified parties or any other officer, director, employee, agent or controlling person of the indemnified parties. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall enter into a consent or entry of any judgment or enter into a settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

8. Compliance with Rule 144.

Subject to the exceptions contained in Section 4(a) below, if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company against all Expenses and Liabilities incurred or paid by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding (referred to herein as “Indemnifiable Expenses” and “Indemnifiable Liabilities,” respectively, and collectively as “Indemnifiable Amounts”).

(b) Proceedings By or In the Right of the Company. Subject to the exceptions contained in Section 4(b) below, if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company against all Indemnifiable Expenses.

(c) Conclusive Presumption Regarding Standard of Care. In making any determination required to be made under Delaware law with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or Entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee submitted a request therefor in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons. or Entity of any determination contrary to that presumption.

4. Exceptions to Indemnification. Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under Sections 3(a) and 3(b) above in all circumstances other than with respect to any specific claim, issue or matter involved in the Proceeding out of which Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification has arisen, as follows:

(a) Proceedings Other Than By or In the Right of the Company. If indemnification is requested under Section 3(a) and it has been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that, in connection with such specific claim, issue or matter, Indemnitee failed to act (i) in good faith and (ii) in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder.

(b) Proceedings By or In the Right of the Company. If indemnification is requested under Section 3(b) and:

(i) it has been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that, in connection with such specific claim, issue or matter, Indemnitee failed to act (A) in good faith and (B) in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Expenses hereunder; or

(ii) it has been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is liable to the Company with respect to such specific claim, no Indemnifiable Expenses shall be paid with respect to such claim, issue or matter unless the Court of Chancery or another court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such Indemnifiable Expenses which such court shall deem proper; or

(iii) it has been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is liable to the Company for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and

amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Expenses hereunder.

(c) Insurance Proceeds. To the extent payment is actually made to the Indemnitee under a valid and collectible insurance policy in respect of Indemnifable Expenses in connection with such specific claim, issue or matter, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Expenses hereunder except in respect of any excess beyond the amount of payment under such insurance.

5. Procedure for Payment of Indemnifiable Amounts. Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request specifying the Indemnifiable Amounts for which Indemnitee seeks payment under Section 3 of this Agreement and the basis for the claim. The Company shall pay such Indemnifiable Amounts to Indemnitee within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of the request. At the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall furnish such documentation and information as are reasonably available to Indemnitee and necessary to establish that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

6. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without limiting any such provision, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, by reason of settlement, judgment, order or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

7. Effect of Certain Resolutions. Neither the settlement or termination of any Proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to determine that indemnification is payable shall create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s action was unlawful.

8. Agreement to Advance Expenses; Undertaking.

To the extent required by Delaware law, Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay, without interest, any and all of the amount of Indemnifiable Expenses paid to Indemnitee if it is finally determined by a court of

competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled under this Agreement to indemnification with respect to such Expenses. This undertaking is an unlimited general obligation of Indemnitee.

9. Procedure for Advance Payment of Expenses. Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request specifying the Indemnifiable Expenses for which Indemnitee seeks an advancement under Section 8 of this Agreement, together with documentation evidencing that Indemnitee has incurred such Indemnifiable Expenses. Payment of Indemnifiable Expenses under Section 8 shall be made no later than ten (10) calendar days after the Company’s receipt of such request.

10. Remedies of Indemnitee.

(a) Right to Petition Court. In the event that Indemnitee makes a request for payment of Indemnifiable Amounts under Sections 3 and 5 above or a request for an advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses under Sections 8 and 9 above and the Company fails to make such payment or advancement in a timely manner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny or to recover from the Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to the Indemnitee under this Agreement, Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery to enforce the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and the Company irrevocably authorizes the Indemnitee from time to time to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, at the expense of the Company as hereafter provided, to advise and represent the Indemnitee in connection with any such interpretation,-enforcement or defense, including without limitation, the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether brought by or against the Company or any director, officer, stockholder or other person affiliated with the Company, in any jurisdiction.

(b) Burden of Proof. In any judicial proceeding brought under Section 10(a) above, the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder.

(c) Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse Indemnitee in full for any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with investigating, preparing for, litigating, defending or settling any action brought by Indemnitee under Section 10(a) above, or in connection with any claim or counterclaim brought by the Company in connection therewith, whether or not Indemnitee is successful in whole or in part in connection with any such action.

(d) Failure to Act Not a Defense. The failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of the payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or the advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses under this Agreement shall not be a defense in any

action brought under Section 10(a) above, and shall not create a presumption that such payment or advancement is not permissible.

11. Defense of the Underlying Proceeding.

(a) Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees to notify the Company promptly upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, or other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or the advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to receive payments of Indemnifable Amounts or advancements of Indemnifiable Expenses unless the Company’s ability to defend in such Proceeding is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby.

(b) Defense by Company. Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 11(b) and of Section 11(c) below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise to the payment of Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Section 11(a) above. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee or (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. This Section 11(b) shall not apply to a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Section 10(a) above or pursuant to Section 18 below.

(c) Indemnitee’s Right to Counsel. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11(b) above, if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, (i) Indemnitee reasonably concludes that he or she may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with respect to any issue which may not be consistent with the position of other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company (including an actual or potential conflict between the Indemnitee and the counsel selected by the Company), (iii) if the Company fails to assume the defense of such proceeding in a timely manner, or (iv) any such representation by the Company fails to meet any applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel of Indemnitee’s choice at the expense of the Company. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any action, suit or proceeding to deny or to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, at the expense of the Company, to represent Indemnitee in connection with any such matter.

12. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Indemnitee as follows:

(a) Authority. The Company has all necessary power and authority to enter into, and be bound by the terms of, this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance of the undertakings contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Company.

(b) Enforceability. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall be a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

13. Contract Rights Not Exclusive. The rights to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts and advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses provided by this Agreement shall be in addition to, but not exclusive of, any other rights which Indemnitee may have at any time under applicable law, the Company’s Certificate or Bylaws or any other agreement, vote of stockholders or directors (or a committee of directors), or otherwise (collectively, “Other Indemnity Provisions”), both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in any other capacity as a result of Indemnitee’s serving as a director of the Company; provided, however, that (i) to the extent that Indemnitee otherwise would have any greater right to indemnification under any Other Indemnity Provision, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder and (ii) to the extent that any change is made to any Other Indemnity Provision which permits any greater right to indemnification than that provided under this Agreement as of the date hereof, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder. The Company shall not adopt any amendment to either the Certificate or the By-laws the effect of which would be to deny, diminish or encumber Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement or any Other Indemnity Provision.

14. Successors. This Agreement shall be (a) binding upon all successors and assigns of the Company (including, without limitation, any transferee of all or a substantial portion of the business, stock and/or assets of the Company and any direct or indirect successor by merger or consolidation or otherwise by operation of law) and (b) binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. This Agreement shall continue for the benefit of Indemnitee and such heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators after Indemnitee has ceased to have Corporate Status.

15. Subrogation. In the event of any payment of Indemnifiable Amounts under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of contribution or recovery of Indemnitee against other persons, and Indemnitee shall take, at the request of the Company, all reasonable action necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

16. Change in Law. To the extent that a change in Delaware law (whether by statute or judicial decision) shall permit broader indemnification or advancement of expenses than is provided under the terms of the Bylaws and this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to such broader indemnification and advancements, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to such extent.

17. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement, or any clause thereof, shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision or clause shall be limited or modified in its application to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision or clause valid, legal and enforceable, and the remaining provisions and clauses of this Agreement shall remain fully enforceable and binding on the parties.

18. Indemnitee as Plaintiff. Except as provided in Section 10(c) of this Agreement and in the next sentence, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses with respect to any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee against the Company, any Entity which it controls, any director or officer thereof, or any third party, unless the Board of Directors of the Company has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding. This Section shall not apply to counterclaims or affirmative defenses asserted by Indemnitee in an action brought against Indemnitee.

19. Modifications and Waiver. Except as provided in Section 16 above with respect to changes in Delaware law which broaden the right of Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company, no supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

20. General Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered by hand, (b) when transmitted by facsimile and receipt is acknowledged, or (c) if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed:

21. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its rules of conflict of laws. Each of the Company and the Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Courts”) for any litigation arising out of or relating to this

Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the Delaware Courts and agrees not to plead or claim in any Delaware Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto agrees, (a) to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process, and (b) that service of process may also be made on such party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing receipt validated by the United States Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service. Service made pursuant to (a) or (b) above shall have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware. For purposes of implementing the parties’ agreement to appoint and maintain an agent for service of process in the State of Delaware, each such party does hereby appoint The Corporation Trust Company, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, as such agent and each such party hereby agrees to complete all actions necessary for such appointment.
