(b) The Contributors shall have the right, severally and not jointly, in each of the Contributors’ respective discretion, to waive some or all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 above; provided, however, that no such waiver shall be effective or binding on a Contributor unless it is in writing and executed by an authorized representative of such Contributor; and provided further, that neither Contributor shall have the right to waive the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(d).

7. TERMINATION.

7.1 Methods of Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing, either:

(a) by the mutual written consent of Newco and the Contributors; or

(b) by either Newco or a Contributor if there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the other Party set forth in this Agreement, which breach (i) causes the conditions set forth in Section 6 not to be satisfied, and (ii) shall not have been cured within ten (10) days following receipt by the breaching party of written notice of such breach from the other Party.

7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any of the Parties or their respective officers, directors, or shareholders, except to the extent that such termination results from the breach by a Party of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement.

8. INDEMNIFICATION.

8.1 Survival. The respective covenants of each of the Parties to this Agreement (other than those for which a term is specified) shall survive the Closing indefinitely and the respective representations and warranties of each of the Parties to this Agreement shall survive the Closing.

8.2 Newco Indemnification. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8, Newco will hold harmless and indemnify the Contributors, each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, and each of their respective successors and assigns, from and against all Damages, directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to (i) the inaccuracy of any representation or breach of any warranty made by Newco in this Agreement, or (ii) the failure of Newco to perform any of its obligations set forth herein after the Closing.

8.3 Contributor’s Indemnification. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8, each Contributor (severally and not jointly with the other Contributors) shall, hold harmless and indemnify Newco, Newco’s Affiliates, each of their respective officers, directors, employees, trustees, shareholders, representatives and agents and each of their respective successors and assigns from and against all Damages directly or indirectly arising out of (i) the inaccuracy of any representation or breach of any warranty made by such Contributor in this Agreement, and (ii) the failure by such Contributor to perform any obligation set forth herein.

8.4 Notification of Indemnification Claims. In the event that any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 4.5, 8.2, and 8.3 of this Agreement (each, an “Indemnified Party”) asserts a claim for indemnification or receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding by any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement against such Indemnified Party, for which a Party to this Agreement may be required to provide indemnification pursuant to Sections 4.5, 8.2, and 8.3 of this Agreement (an “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Party under this Section 8, promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action, but no failure to give such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder, except to the extent prejudiced. With respect to third party claims, if within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice, the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party stating that it disputes and intends to defend against such claim at its own cost and expense, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by such Indemnifying Party (subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) as long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting a good faith and diligent defense at its expense; provided that the assumption of defense of any such matters by them shall relate solely to the claim that is subject or potentially subject to indemnification and provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to undertake the defense of such claim if such claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief against an Indemnified Party.

8.5 Settlement; Assistance; Defense by Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, with the consent of each respective Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle all indemnifiable matters related to claims by third parties which are susceptible to being settled, provided the obligations of the Indemnifying Party to

indemnify the Indemnified Party therefore will be fully satisfied. An Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement of any claim if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, such settlement would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall furnish each respective Indemnified Party with all documents and information that each respective Indemnified Party shall reasonably request and shall consult with each respective Indemnified Party prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions. Each Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided that if the named parties to the action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, the expense of one separate counsel for each Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If no notice of intent to dispute and defend is given pursuant to Section 8.4 above, or if such diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party), and shall have the right to compromise or settle (exercising reasonable business judgment), such claim; provided that such settlement shall not include injunctive relief or equitable relief without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

8.6 Exclusive Remedy. Indemnification under this Section 8 shall be the Indemnified Party’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for Damages. All disputes between the parties shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.10.

9. MISCELLANEOUS.

9.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Party shall assign or delegate this Agreement or any of the rights or obligations created hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Newco shall have the unrestricted right to assign this Agreement and all or any part of its rights hereunder and to delegate all or any part of its obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of Newco, but in such event Newco shall remain fully liable for the performance of all of such obligations in the manner prescribed in this Agreement.

9.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with reference to the Restructure set forth herein and no representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings have been made in connection with this

Agreement other than those expressly set forth herein (including any agreements incorporated herein) or certificates and other documents delivered in accordance herewith. This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, correspondence, communications, understandings and agreements between the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and all prior drafts of this Agreement, all of which are merged into this Agreement.

9.5 Waivers and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument executed by each of the Parties hereto. Each of the Parties may, only by an instrument in writing, extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other, waive any inaccuracies in the representations or warranties or compliance with any of the covenants or performance of any of the obligations of the other contained in this Agreement, or waive fulfillment of any of the conditions to its own obligations under this Agreement. The waiver by either Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any waiver on the part of any Party of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

9.6 Severability. This Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall, nevertheless, continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

9.7 Interpretation. The section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or of any term or provision hereof.

(a) Each Party has reviewed and participated in drafting and revising this Agreement and the normal rule of construction that any ambiguity is to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.

(b) All references to singular or plural or masculine or feminine shall include the other as the context may require.

9.8 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute the same instrument. Delivery of a copy of this Agreement, notice or such other document bearing an original signature by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (document extension .PDF), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.

9.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

9.10 Resolution of Disputes. Any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the breach or alleged breach hereof, or affecting this Agreement in any way, shall be resolved as follows:

(a) With respect to any dispute or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Parties shall first make a good-faith endeavor to resolve the dispute or claim before resorting to litigation or arbitration. All communications related to such mediation are confidential and any draft mediation resolutions, and any unsigned agreements relating to the resolution of the dispute shall not be admissible by any Party in any subsequent proceeding.

(b) Upon notice by any Party of such a dispute or claim (“Mediation Notice”), the Parties agree to meet informally within fifteen (15) days after such Mediation Notice to mediate the dispute or claim in good faith without a third party mediator. The Parties will devote not less than four (4) consecutive hours during normal business hours for the mediation. If such informal mediation does not resolve the dispute or claim, then upon the failure to resolve the differences, a face-to-face formal mediation will follow not later than thirty (30) days after the Mediation Notice.

(c) Where formal mediation is required, the Parties will attempt in good faith to settle the matter by mediation administered by JAMS, in New York, NY, under its rules for the resolution of commercial disputes. The Parties agree that the mediator must be neutral and the mediator shall have no power to decide disputed issues for either Party or to bind any Party. The Parties agree to devote not less than four (4) hours to formal mediation. If that fails, any aggrieved Party may then resort to arbitration (to the extent provided for in this Agreement).

(d) All communications, negotiations and discussions occurring during any mediation, whether between the Parties, between any Party and the mediator or among the Parties and the mediator, and all documents and other written and oral information provided by a Party to another Party or the mediator, or produced or provided by the mediator, shall be maintained in confidence by the Parties and the mediator. The Parties further agree to not call the mediator to testify concerning the mediation or any matter which was the subject of the mediation or to provide any documents, materials or other information obtained from any Party, its representatives or otherwise during or in connection with the mediation in any subsequent proceeding between the Parties except if there is a written settlement from the mediation and the mediator is called as a witness to the execution of the settlement agreement.

(e) Each Party agrees to refrain from pre-emptive maneuvers and adversarial proceedings while actively engaged in the mediation process. The Parties will share the fees and expenses of the mediator equally. All other expenses incurred by any Party in connection with any mediation will be exclusively for the account of the Party that incurred them.

(f) In the event that the Parties’ efforts to mediate a dispute is unsuccessful, any remaining controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the

breach or alleged breach hereof, or affecting this Agreement in any way, shall be settled by arbitration in New York, New York pursuant to the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The Parties shall be entitled to take discovery and the provisions of Rule 26 of the Delaware Rules of Civil Procedure shall govern such proceedings. Arbitration shall be final and binding and not appealable, and conducted by one arbitrator. Such arbitrator shall be selected by the mutual agreement of Contributor and Newco or, failing such agreement, shall be selected by the AAA. The Parties shall bear the costs of the arbitrator equally. By further agreement of the Parties or direction of the arbitrator, proceedings which, in the judgment of the arbitrator, are not dependent on the credibility of a testifying witness may be held other than in person, such as via telephone conference. The arbitrator shall expedite the proceedings consistent with a fair presentation of the Parties’ case and shall permit only such discovery as is reasonably necessary for the fair presentation of the Parties’ case and not otherwise. The arbitrator may not award punitive damages. If judicial enforcement or review of such arbitrator’s award is sought by either Party, judgment may be entered upon such award in any court of competent jurisdiction.

9.11 Waiver of Trial by Jury. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE OR ARISE. EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER PARTY.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and certain other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

10.2 Other Terms. Other terms may be defined elsewhere in the text of this Agreement and, unless otherwise indicated, shall have such meaning as set forth in this Agreement.

11. Agreement Among the Company and the Holders.

11.1 Rights of Refusal.

(a) Transfer Notice. If at any time a Holder proposes to Transfer Equity Securities (a “Selling Holder”), then the Selling Holder shall promptly give the Company and each other Holder written notice of the Selling Holder’s intention to make the Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”). The Transfer Notice shall include (i) a description of the Equity Securities to be transferred (“Offered Shares”), (ii) the name(s) and address(es) of the prospective transferee(s) and (iii) the consideration and (iv) the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Selling Holder has received a firm offer from the prospective transferee(s) and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed Transfer. In the event that the Transfer is being made

pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.3, the Transfer Notice shall state under which specific subsection the Transfer is being made.

(b) Company’s Right of First Refusal. The Company shall have an option for a period of ten (10) days from Delivery of the Transfer Notice to elect to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. The Company may exercise such purchase option and purchase the Offered Shares by notifying the Selling Holder in writing before expiration of the such ten (10) day period. If the Company gives the Selling Holder notice that it desires to purchase such shares, then payment for the Offered Shares shall be by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Shares to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than forty-five (45) days after Delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third-party transferee(s) or unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been established pursuant to Section 2.1(e). If the Company fails to purchase the Offered Shares by exercising the option granted in this Section 2.1(b) within the period provided, the Offered Shares shall be subject to the options granted to the Holders pursuant to subsection 2.1(d).

(c) Additional Transfer Notice. Subject to the Company’s option set forth in Section 2.1(b), if at any time the Selling Holder proposes a Transfer, then, within five (5) days after the Company has declined to purchase the Offered Shares or the Company’s option to so purchase the Offered Shares has expired, the Selling Holder shall give each Holder an “Additional Transfer Notice” that shall include all of the information and certifications required in a Transfer Notice and briefly describe the Holders’ rights of first refusal with respect to the proposed Transfer.

(d) Holders’ Right of First Refusal.

(i) Each Holder shall have an option for a period of fifteen (15) days from the Delivery of the Additional Transfer Notice from the Selling Holder set forth in Section 2.1(c) to elect to purchase all, and not less than all, of its respective pro rata share of the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Additional Transfer Notice. Each Holder may exercise such purchase option and its pro rata share of the Offered Shares (a “Participating Holder” for the purposes of Sections 2.1(d) and 2.1(e)), by notifying the Selling Holder and the Company in writing, before expiration of the fifteen (15) day period as to the number of such shares that he, she or it wishes to purchase (the “Participating Holder Notice”). Each Holder’s pro rata share of the Offered Shares shall be a fraction of the Offered Shares, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder on the date of the Transfer Notice and denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock held by all Holders on the date of the Transfer Notice.

(ii) In the event any Holder elects not to purchase its pro rata share of the Offered Shares available pursuant to its option under subsection 2.1(d)(i) within the time period set forth therein, then the Selling Holder shall promptly give written notice (the “Overallotment Notice”) to each Participating Holder that has elected to purchase its pro rata

share of the Offered Shares (each a “Fully Participating Holder”), which notice shall set forth the number of Offered Shares not purchased by the other Holders, and shall offer the Participating Holders the right to acquire the unsubscribed shares. Each Participating Holder shall have five (5) days after Delivery of the Overallotment Notice to deliver a written notice to the Selling Holder (the “Participating Holders Overallotment Notice”) of its election to purchase its pro rata share of the unsubscribed shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Additional Transfer Notice and indicating the maximum number of the unsubscribed shares that it will purchase in the event that any other Fully Participating Holder elects not to purchase its pro rata share of the unsubscribed shares. The numerator shall be the same as that used in Section 2.1(d)(i) above and the denominator described in clause (i) of this subsection 2.1(d) shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by all Participating Holders on the date of the Transfer Notice. Each Participating Holder shall be entitled to apportion Offered Shares to be purchased among its Affiliates, provided that such Participating Holder notifies the Selling Holder of such allocation.

(e) Payment.

(i) The Participating Holders shall effect the purchase of the Offered Shares with payment by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Shares to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than forty-five (45) days after Delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third-party transferee(s) or unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been established pursuant to Section 2.1(e).

(ii) Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice or Additional Transfer Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Company (and the Participating Holders) shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the fair market value of such property. If the Selling Holder and the Company (or the Participating Holders) cannot agree on such cash value within ten (10) days after Delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice (or the Delivery of the Additional Transfer Notice to the Holders), the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by the Selling Holder and the Company (or the Participating Holders) or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within twenty (20) days after Delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice (or the Delivery of the Additional Transfer Notice to the Holders), each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and those appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by the Selling Holder and the Company (and the Participating Holders), with half of the cost borne by the Company and the Participating Holders pro rata by each, based on the number of shares such parties have expressed an interest in purchasing pursuant to this Section 2. If the time for the closing of the Company’s purchase or the Participating Holders’ purchase has expired but the determination of the value of the purchase price offered by the prospective transferee(s) has not been finalized, then such closing shall be held on or prior to the fifth (5th) business day after such valuation shall have been made pursuant to this subsection.

11.2 Non-Exercise of Rights. To the extent that the Company and the Holders have not exercised their rights to purchase the Offered Shares within the time periods specified in Section 2.1, the Selling Holder shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the expiration of such rights in which to sell the Offered Shares, upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable than those specified in the Transfer Notice, to the third-party transferee(s) identified in the Transfer Notice. The third-party transferee(s) shall acquire the Offered Shares free and clear of subsequent rights of first refusal under this Agreement. In the event the Selling Holder does not consummate the sale or disposition of the Offered Shares within the thirty (30) day period from the expiration of these rights, the Company’s and the Holders’ first refusal rights shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Offered Shares by the Selling Holder until such right lapses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, the exercise or non-exercise of the rights of the Company and the Holders under this Section 2 to purchase Equity Securities from the Selling Holder or participate in sales of Equity Securities by the Selling Holder shall not adversely affect their rights to make subsequent purchases from the Selling Holder of Equity Securities or subsequently participate in sales of Equity Securities by the Selling Holder.

11.3 Exempt Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1 of this Agreement, the first refusal rights of the Company and the Holders shall not apply to the Transfer of any Equity Securities (i) by a Holder to its Affiliates, stockholders, members, partners or other equity holders, (ii) pursuant to the Pledge Agreements of even date herewith executed by the Holders in connection with the Consent, Limited Waiver and Third Amendment to Credit Agreement and Credit Documents of even date herewith, (iii) to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (other than a registration statement relating either to sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to its stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction), (iv) upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, and (v) upon a Change of Control of the Company; provided that in the case of clause (i) above, the Selling Holder shall deliver prior written notice to the other Holders of such Transfer and such Equity Securities shall at all times remain subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and such transferee shall, as a condition to such issuance, deliver a counterpart signature page to this Agreement as confirmation that such transferee shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a Holder; and provided, further, in the case of clause (i) above, that such Transfer is made pursuant to a transaction in which there is no consideration actually paid for such Transfer.

11.4 Prohibited Transfers; Equitable Relief. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Holder will Transfer all or any part of or any interest in the Equity Securities. Any Transfer of Equity Securities not made in conformance with this Agreement shall be null and void, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company and shall not be recognized by the Company. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm to the other parties hereto for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific

performance or the rescission of Transfers of Equity Securities not made in strict compliance with this Agreement).

12. Assignments and Transfers; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives, but shall not otherwise be for the benefit of any third party. The rights of the Holders hereunder are only assignable (i) to any other Holder, (ii) to an Affiliate of such Holder.

13. Legend. Each existing or replacement certificate for shares now owned or hereafter acquired by a Holder shall bear the following legend upon its face:

“THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL BY AND BETWEEN THE STOCKHOLDER, THE CORPORATION AND CERTAIN OTHER STOCKHOLDERS OF THE CORPORATION, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE CORPORATION’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE.”

14. Effect of Change in Company’s Capital Structure. If, from time to time, the Company pays a stock dividend or effects a stock split or other change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding stock of the Company, then in such event any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which a Holder is entitled by reason of such Holder’s ownership of Equity Securities shall be immediately subject to the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement with the same force and effect as the stock subject to such rights immediately before such event.

15. Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the next business day, (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. The occurrence of the events set forth in subsections (i) through (iv) above shall constitute “Delivery” of notice. All communications shall be sent to the respective parties at the addresses set forth on the signature pages attached hereto (or at such other addresses as shall be specified by notice given in accordance with this Section 6).

16. Further Instruments and Actions. The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Each Holder agrees to cooperate affirmatively with the Company to enforce its rights and obligations pursuant hereto.

17. Term. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of: (a) any sale of the Company’s equity securities to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (other than a registration statement relating either to sale

of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to its stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction); (b) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, and (c) a Change of Control of the Company.

18. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other agreements between or among any of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to Delaware conflicts of law provisions.

19. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of (i) the Company, (ii) the Holders holding at least a majority of the Common Stock of the Company then held by the Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon all Holders and their respective successors and assigns.

20. Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

21. Attorney’s Fees. In the event that any dispute among the parties to this Agreement should result in litigation, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all fees, costs and expenses of enforcing any right of such prevailing party under or with respect to this Agreement, including without limitation, such reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants, which shall include, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses of appeals.

22. Counterparts; Electronic Copies. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute the same instrument. Delivery of a copy of this Agreement, notice or such other document bearing an original signature by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (document extension .PDF), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.
