2.6 Revocation of Demand Registration. Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof may, at any time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such registration, revoke their request to

Article III. Piggyback Registration
3.1 Right to Piggyback. If at any time, and from time to time, the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of any class of equity securities of the Company or any securities convertible or exercisable into shares of any equity securities of the Company (other than with respect to that certain registration statement on Form S-3, as amended, originally filed by the Company with the SEC on February 16, 2010 or a registration statement (a) on Form S-8 or any successor form thereto, (b) on Form S-4 or any successor form thereto relating solely to the sale of securities to employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors of the Company or its Affiliates pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar benefit plan, (c) an offering of rights solely to the Company’s existing securityholders or (d) relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 under the Securities Act), whether or not for its own account, on a form that would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, then the Company will give written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) of such proposed filing to the Holders at least 10 Business Days before the anticipated filing date. Such notice will include the number and class of securities proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing of such registration statement, any proposed means of distribution of such securities, any proposed managing underwriter of such securities and a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed maximum offering price of such securities as such price is proposed to appear on the facing page of such registration statement, and will offer the Holders the opportunity to register such amount of Registrable Securities as each Holder may request on the same terms and conditions as the registration of the Company’s or Other Holders’ securities, as the case may be (a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company will include in each Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities for which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within five Business Days after delivery of the Piggyback Notice, subject to Section 3.2.
3.2 Priority on Piggyback Registrations.
(a) If the Piggyback Registration is an Underwritten Offering, the Company will cause the managing underwriter of that proposed offering to permit the Holders that have requested Registrable Securities to be included in the Piggyback Registration to include all such Registrable Securities on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities, if any, of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter of such Underwritten Offering advises the Company and the selling Holders that, in its view, the total amount of securities that the Company, such Holders and any Other Holders propose to include in such offering is such as to adversely affect the success of such Underwritten Offering, then:
(i) if such Piggyback Registration is a primary registration by the Company for its own account, the Company will include in such Piggyback Registration: (A) first, all securities to be offered by the Company; (B) second, (1) if Registrable Securities constitute 10% or more of the outstanding securities of any class of equity securities of the Company or class of securities convertible or exercisable into shares of any equity securities of the Company, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the Holders, or (2) if Registrable Securities constitute less than 10% of the outstanding securities of any class of equity securities of the Company or class of securities convertible or exercisable into shares of
6
any equity securities of the Company, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the Holders and any Other Holders having registration rights on a pari passu basis, allocated pro rata among such holders, on the basis of the amount of securities requested to be included therein by each such holder; and (C) third, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by any Other Holders in accordance with the priorities, if any, then existing among the Company and the Other Holders so that the total amount of securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering is the full amount that, in the view of such managing underwriter, can be sold without adversely affecting the success of such Underwritten Offering; and
(ii) if such Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration for the account of holders of securities of the Company, the Company will include in such registration: (A) first, all securities of the Persons exercising “demand” registration rights requested to be included therein; (B) second, up to the full amount of securities proposed to be included in the registration by the Company, (C) third, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the Holders and any Other Holders having registration rights on a pari passu basis, allocated pro rata among such Holders and Other Holders, on the basis of the amount of securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder and Other Holder; and (D) fourth, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the Other Holders in accordance with the priorities, if any, then existing among the Company and the Other Holders so that the total amount of securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering is the full amount that, in the view of such managing underwriter, can be sold without adversely affecting the success of such Underwritten Offering.
(b) If so requested (pursuant to a timely notice) by the managing underwriter in any Underwritten Offering, the Holders participating in such Underwritten Offering will agree not to effect any public sale or distribution (or any other type of sale as the managing underwriter reasonably determines is appropriate in order to not adversely affect the Underwritten Offering) of any such Registrable Securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (but excluding any Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Offering), during the 10 days prior to, and during a period specified by the managing underwriter not to exceed 30 days (or such additional period as the managing underwriter reasonably determines is appropriate in order to not adversely affect the Underwritten Offering) following, the closing date of such Underwritten Offering. In the event of such a request, the Company may impose, during such period, appropriate stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities subject to such restrictions.
3.3 Withdrawal of Piggyback Registration.
(a) If at any time after giving the Piggyback Notice and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with the Piggyback Registration, the Company determines for any reason not to register or to delay the Piggyback Registration, the Company may, at its election, give notice of its determination to all Holders, and in the case of a determination not to register, will be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with the abandoned Piggyback Registration, without prejudice, provided, however, that such Registration Statement will not be counted for purposes of Section 2.1 hereof.
(b) Any Holder of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in a Piggyback Registration may withdraw its request for inclusion by giving written notice to the Company of its intention to withdraw from that registration, provided, however, that (i) the Holder’s request be made in writing and (ii) the withdrawal will be irrevocable and, after making the withdrawal, a Holder will no longer have any right to include its Registrable Securities in that Piggyback Registration.
7
(c) An election by the Company to withdraw a Piggyback Registration under this Section 3.3 shall not be deemed to be a breach of the Company’s obligations with respect to such Piggyback Registration.
3.4 Most-Favored-Nations for Piggyback Registration. If the Company grants any Person any rights with respect to the registration of any shares of equity securities of the Company or any securities convertible or exercisable into shares of any equity securities of the Company that are more favorable to such Person than the rights of the Holders set forth in this Agreement, then the Company shall grant to the Holders the same rights granted to such other Person.

4.2 Demand and Piggyback Blackout. Notwithstanding anything contained in Articles II or III hereof to the contrary, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that the registration and distribution of Registrable Securities (a) would materially impede, delay or interfere with any financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other significant transaction, or any negotiations, discussions or pending proposals with respect thereto, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (b) would require disclosure of material nonpublic information, the disclosure of which would materially and adversely affect the Company, the Company will promptly give the Holders notice of such determination and will be entitled to postpone the preparation, filing or effectiveness or suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 90 days.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article IV to the contrary, in no event shall the number of days included in all Blackout Periods during any consecutive 12-month period exceed an aggregate of 120 days and in no event shall the Company be entitled to postpone the preparation, filing or effectiveness or suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Article IV unless it postpones or suspends during the Blackout Period the effectiveness of any registration statements required pursuant to the registration rights of the Other Holders.

(b) Each selling Holder will be deemed to have agreed that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of an event specified in Section 4.2 hereof, such selling Holder will discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus and suspend use of such Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus until the earlier to occur of the Holder’s receipt of (i) copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus describing the event giving rise to the aforementioned suspension and (ii) (A) notice from the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus may be resumed and (B) copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus; provided, however, that in no event will the number of days during which the offer and sale of Registrable Securities is discontinued pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) during any consecutive 12-month period, together with any other Blackout Periods in such 12-month period, exceed an aggregate of 120 days. In the event the Company gives any such notice, the period of time for which a Registration Statement must remain effective as set forth in Section 2.3 hereof will be extended by the number of days during the time period from and including the date of giving of such notice to and including the date when each selling Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement receives (i) a supplemented or amended Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus describing the event giving rise to the aforementioned suspension or (ii) notice from the Company that use of the applicable Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus may resume.
5.4 Registration Expenses.
(a) All fees and expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Articles II and III hereof and Section 5.1 hereof (“Registration Expenses”) will be borne by the Company. These fees and expenses will include without limitation (i) all registration, filing and qualification fees, (ii) printing, duplicating and delivery expenses, (iii) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (iv) fees and expenses of complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws (including the fees and expenses of any local counsel in connection therewith), (v) fees and disbursements of all independent certified public accountants referred to in Section 5.1(h)(ii) hereof (including the expenses of any special audit and “comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance) and (vi) fees and expenses in connection with listing the Registrable Securities on the New York Stock Exchange, if applicable.
(b) The Company will also reimburse or pay, as the case may be, the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of one law firm retained by all Holders, considered collectively, within 10 days of presentation of a detailed invoice approved by the Investor.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities will be borne by the Holder owning such Registrable Securities.

Article VI. Indemnification
6.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder owning Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement, such Holder’s Affiliates, officers, directors, managers, partners, stockholders, employers, advisors, agents and other representatives, and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are based solely upon information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein. The indemnity provided in this Section 6.1 shall survive any transfer or disposal of the Registrable Securities by the Holders.
6.2 Indemnification by Holders. In the event of the filing of any registration statement relating to the registration of any Registrable Securities, each Holder (severally and not jointly) will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its Affiliates, officers, directors, managers, partners, stockholders, employers, advisors, agents and other representatives, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder to the Company expressly for use in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. In no event will the liability of any Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after any discounts, commissions, transfer taxes, fees and expenses) received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
6.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Person becomes entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party will give prompt notice to the party from which indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced materially by such failure. If such an action or proceeding is brought against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party promptly after receiving the notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of that counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (a) the employment of the counsel has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (b) the Indemnifying Party has not employed counsel to take charge of such action or proceeding within a reasonable time after notice of commencement thereof or (c) the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based upon the opinion of counsel, that there are defenses or actions available to it
13
which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party which, if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party were to be represented by the same counsel, could result in a conflict of interest for such counsel or materially prejudice the prosecution of defenses or actions available to the Indemnified Party. If any of the events specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) of the immediately preceding sentence are applicable, then the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel for the Indemnified Party will be borne by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that in no event will the Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all Indemnified Parties. If, in any case, the Indemnified Party employs separate counsel, the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to direct the defense of the action or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party. All fees and expenses required to be paid to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VI will be paid periodically during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when reasonably itemized bills therefor are delivered to the Indemnifying Party in respect of any particular Loss that is incurred. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.3 to the contrary, an Indemnifying Party will not be liable for the settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. The Indemnifying Party will not, without the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or otherwise seek to terminate any action or proceeding in which any Indemnified Party is or could be a party and as to which indemnification or contribution could be sought by such Indemnified Party under this Article VI, unless such judgment, settlement or other termination provides solely for the payment of money and includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
6.4 Contribution, etc.
(a) If the indemnification provided for in this Article VI is unavailable to an Indemnified Party under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof in respect of any Losses or is insufficient to hold the Indemnified Party harmless, then each applicable Indemnifying Party (severally and not jointly), in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of the Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in the Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or related to information supplied by, the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties or the Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.
(b) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.4 to the contrary, an Indemnifying Party that is a selling Holder will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total net proceeds (after any discounts, commissions, transfer taxes, fees and expenses) received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which such selling Holder has, in the aggregate, otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Article VII. Default Payment
If (a) any Registration Statement is not filed within the time periods specified herein, (b) any Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC or does not otherwise become effective on or prior to its required effectiveness date, (c) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 under the Securities Act within ten Business Days of the date on which the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that a Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is not subject to further review, or (d) after it has been declared effective, such Registration Statement or related prospectus ceases for any reason to be effective and available to the Holders as to all Registrable Securities to which it is required to cover for more than an aggregate of 10 Business Days ((in each case, except as specifically permitted herein) (each, a “Registration Default”)), then the Company shall make a special payment to Holders in an amount equal to 1.50% per annum of the liquidation preference of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock (and in the case of Registrable Securities that are Common Stock following conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, such amount shall be equal to 1.50% per annum of the liquidation preference of the Convertible Preferred Stock that was converted into such Common Stock), payable in cash. Special payments shall accrue from the date of the applicable Registration Default until such Registration Default has been cured, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 following such Registration Default to the record holder of the Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, on the date that is 15 days prior to such payment date, until paid in full. Special payments payable in respect of any Registration Default shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Special payments shall be payable only with respect to a single Registration Default at any given time, notwithstanding the fact that multiple Registration Defaults may have occurred and be continuing. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VII to the contrary: (i) in no event shall a Registration Default be deemed to have occurred and be continuing during any Blackout Period permitted hereunder and (ii) the Company shall not be liable for special payments under this Agreement as to any Registrable Securities which: (A) are not permitted by the SEC to be included in a Registration Statement or (B) may be sold by the Holders pursuant to Rule 144 without compliance with volume limitations or other restrictions as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Holders.
Article VIII. Free Writing Prospectuses
Each Holder represents that it has not prepared or had prepared on its behalf or used or referred to, and agrees that it will not prepare or have prepared on its behalf or use or refer to, any Free Writing Prospectus, and has not distributed and will not distribute any written materials in connection with the offer or sale of Common Stock or Convertible Preferred Stock without the prior written consent of the Company and, in connection with any Underwritten Offering, the underwriters. Any such Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Company and the underwriters, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents and agrees that it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the SEC, legending and record keeping.
Article IX. Rule 144
To the extent the following make available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of unregistered securities to the public without registration or pursuant to
15
a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to (a) make and keep public information available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; (b) use its reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; (c) furnish to any Holder promptly upon written request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents as any Holder reasonably may request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing such Holder to sell any Registrable Securities without registration; and (d) take such other actions as may be reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent to consummate any distribution of Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms and conditions of Rule 144.
Article X. Participation in Underwritten Offerings
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering pursuant to a registration hereunder unless that Person (a) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement. The rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any party otherwise may have at law or in equity.

11.6 Counterparts.
