Corporate Governance And Information Rights

Section 2.1. Board Representations.

(a) Immediately Following the Closing. Effective as of the time immediately following the Closing and for so long as the Board Representation Entitlement is greater than zero (0) (the “Director Entitlement Period”), (i) the Investor Stockholders shall have the right to designate or appoint that number of Directors (each, an “Appointed Director”) equal to the Board Representation Entitlement, and (ii) upon a designation of any Additional Directors (as defined below) that satisfy the specifications set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of Section 2.1(d)(ii), the Company agrees to take all necessary actions to effectuate the election of such Additional Directors to the Board as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event by the later of (x) January 15, 2009 and (y) five (5) business days upon receipt of such designation. The Investor Stockholders agree and acknowledge that Xxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx XxXxxxx will continue to serve on the Board as Appointed Directors, and the Company agrees and acknowledges that each such designee meets the specifications set forth in clauses (B) and (C) of Section 2.1(d)(i).

(b) During the Director Entitlement Period. During the Director Entitlement Period, each Appointed Director designated, nominated or appointed by the Investor Stockholders or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(d) and Section 2.1(f). In addition, upon the occurrence of an increase in the authorized number of directors then constituting the Board that results in an increase in the Board Representation Entitlement to a number greater than the number of Appointed Directors then serving on the Board, the Investor Stockholders shall have the right to designate or appoint that number of additional Appointed Directors such that the total number of Appointed Directors (after giving effect to such designation or appointment) shall be equal to the Board Representation Entitlement at such time.

(c) After the Director Entitlement Periods. After the Director Entitlement Period (and subject in each case to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(d):

(i) Right of Nomination. The Investor Stockholders shall have the right, subject to the limitations in this Section 2.1(c), at each annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company at which Directors are to be elected, to designate a number of Investor Directors, and the Company shall nominate and recommend for election at such meeting, a number of Investor Directors such that if such Investor Directors are elected by the stockholders of the Company at such meeting, the number of Investor Directors on the Board shall be equal to the Investor Director Entitlement. The Company agrees to use the same efforts to cause the Investor Director designees of the Investor Stockholders to be elected to the Board as it uses to cause other nominees of the Company or the Board to be elected.

(ii) Uncured Share Ownership Reduction; Board Size Decrease. Upon the occurrence of an Uncured Share Ownership Reduction, the Investor Stockholders at the expiration of the applicable Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period shall cause one or more Investor Directors, as applicable, to immediately resign from the Board such that following such resignation(s), the number of Investor Directors on the Board shall be equal to the Investor Director Entitlement as of the time immediately following the Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period. In addition, upon a Board Size Decrease, the Investor Stockholders shall cause one or more Investor Directors, as applicable, to immediately resign from the Board such that following such resignation(s), the number of Investor Directors on the Board shall be equal to the Investor Director Entitlement as of the time immediately following the occurrence of the Board Size Decrease, provided that if the Board Size Decrease goes into effect during a Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period, then such resignation requirement shall not take effect until the expiration of such Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period, provided that upon such expiration, the Investor Director Entitlement is less than the number of Investor Directors then serving on the Board. Upon the reduction of the Investor Director Entitlement to zero (0) pursuant to clause (A) of the definition thereof, the Investor Stockholders will promptly cause all Investor Directors to resign from the Board, unless otherwise requested in writing by or on behalf of the Board.

(iii) Vacancy. In the event that a vacancy is created at any time with respect to a Board seat held by an Investor Director by reason of the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal (with or without cause) of such Investor Director, the Investor Stockholders may designate or nominate, as applicable, another individual to be elected to fill the vacancy created thereby, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to accomplish the same, but in any case, only to the extent required to maintain the then applicable Investor Director Entitlement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.1(c)(iii) does not apply to any vacancy arising as a result of failure of an Investor Director who has been nominated and recommended in accordance with this Section 2.1(c) to be elected, but any such failure to be elected shall in no way affect the right of the Investor Stockholders to designate, nominate or appoint another individual in replacement thereof as a nominee for Investor Director with respect to the next election. In addition, upon the occurrence

of an increase in the authorized number of directors then constituting the Board that results in an increase in the Investor Director Entitlement to a number greater than the number of Investor Directors then serving on the Board, the Investor Stockholders shall have the right to designate, and subject to this Section 2.1(c), the Board shall appoint, that number of additional individuals to serve as Investor Directors such that the total number of Investor Directors (after giving effect to such designation) shall be equal to the Investor Director Entitlement at such time;

provided, that if after the Closing there is a change in the applicable rules of the Exchange on which the Common Stock is listed at the time such change becomes effective that would cause the Common Stock to be delisted by such Exchange as a result of the terms of this clause (c), the voting rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock set forth in this clause (c) shall thereafter be limited to the extent required by such changed rules for the Common Stock to continue to be listed on such Exchange.

(d) Limitations on Appointed Directors.

(i) Except as provided in Section 2(d)(ii), each Appointed Director shall, at all times during which such Person serves as a Director, (A) be a present or former full-time general partner, managing director or principal of Elevation Management, LLC, (B) not be (or be a representative of or otherwise affiliated with) a direct competitor of the Company as determined in good faith by the Board, and (C) otherwise be reasonably acceptable (in terms of suitability) to the Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee as determined in good faith in the discharge of its fiduciary duties. The Investor Stockholders shall not nominate or appoint any such Appointed Director who does not meet the specifications set forth in this Section 2.1(d)(i) and shall cause any such Appointed Director to immediately resign if such director fails to meet either of the requirements set forth in clauses (i)(A) or (i)(B) above.

(ii) If and to the extent the number of Appointed Directors is more than two (any such Appointed Director in excess of two, an “Additional Director”), each Additional Director may be a Person employed by, or be a present or former full-time general partner, managing director or principal of, Elevation or any of its Affiliates (an “Elevation Person”) so long as such Elevation Person has relevant operating, industry or other expertise; provided, however, that unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, Elevation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace each Additional Director who is an Elevation Person as soon as reasonably practicable with a designee that shall (x) not be an Elevation Person and (y) have relevant operating, industry or other expertise. Each Additional Director shall, at all times during which such Person serves as a Director, (A) not be (or be a representative of or otherwise affiliated with) a direct competitor of the Company as determined in good faith by the Board and (B) otherwise be reasonably acceptable (in terms of suitability) to the Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee as determined in good faith in the discharge of its fiduciary duties. The Investor Stockholders shall not nominate or appoint any such Additional

Director who does not meet the specifications set forth in this Section 2.1(d)(ii) and shall cause any such Additional Director to immediately resign if such director fails to meet the requirement set forth in clause (ii)(A) above.

(e) Limitations on Other Investor Directors. Any Investor Director who is not an Appointed Director shall, at all times during which such Person serves as a Director, meet the specifications set forth in either Section 2.1(d)(i) for Appointed Directors or Section 2.1(d)(ii) for Additional Directors. The Investor Stockholders shall not nominate or appoint any Investor Director who does not meet the specifications set forth in either Section 2.1(d)(i) for Appointed Directors or Section 2.1(d)(ii) for Additional Directors and shall cause any such Investor Director to immediately resign if such Investor Director fails to meet the requirement set forth in either clause (B) of Section 2.1(d)(i) or clause (A) of Section 2.1(d)(ii).

(f) Notification Regarding Directors. The Investor Stockholders shall notify the Company in writing of each proposed Appointed Director a reasonable time in advance of any action taken for the purpose of electing or appointing such Appointed Director, to fill a vacancy and of the mailing of any proxy statement, information statement or registration statement in which any Board nominee or Board member of the Company would be named (which in the event of any proxy statement relating to an annual meeting of stockholders of the Company shall be no later than 30 days prior to the first anniversary of the mailing of the proxy statement related to the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders), together with all information concerning such nominee reasonably requested by the Company, so that the Company may determine whether such nominee complies with the above qualifications and so that the Company can comply with applicable disclosure rules; provided that in the absence of such notice, the Investor Stockholders shall be deemed to have designated or nominated the same Investor Directors as set forth in the most recent notice delivered to the Company pursuant to this Section 2.1(f).

(g) Fundamental Change. The rights granted to the Investor Stockholders under this Section 2.1 shall survive a Fundamental Change to the extent that the Investor Stockholders continue to Beneficially Own in the aggregate, excluding Shared Beneficial Ownership, no less than 7.5% of the Total Current Voting Power of the Survivor of a Fundamental Change, provided that for all purposes of this Section 2.1, the board of directors of the Survivor of a Fundamental Change shall be substituted for the Board. The Investor Stockholders shall cause all Appointed Directors and/or Investor Directors to resign from the Board effective upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change to the extent that either (i) the Investor Stockholders are no longer entitled to designate or nominate such directors as a result of this Section 2.1(g) or (ii) the Company is not the Survivor of such Fundamental Change. To the extent that the Company is not the Survivor of a Fundamental Change and the Investor Stockholders would be entitled to nominate or designate a member to the board of directors or similar governing body of the Survivor of a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) (substituting the Survivor of a Fundamental Change for the Company therein) and this Section 2.1(g), such Survivor of a Fundamental Change shall cause one (1) designee of the Investor Stockholders to be elected or appointed to the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the Survivor of a

Fundamental Change promptly following the Fundamental Change. In the event the Investor Stockholders at any time cease to Beneficially Own in the aggregate, excluding Shared Beneficial Ownership, at least 7.5% of the Total Current Voting Power of the Survivor of a Fundamental Change, all rights granted under this Section 2.1 shall cease and the Investor Stockholders shall cause all Appointed Directors and/or Investor Directors to promptly resign from the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the Survivor of a Fundamental Change.

(h) Advance Resignation Letters. The Company and any Survivor of a Fundamental Change may implement the resignation provisions of this Section 2.1 by requiring, prior to or after becoming a member of the Board (with respect to the Company) or the board of directors or similar governing body (with respect to the Survivor of a Fundamental Change), each Appointed Director and/or Investor Director to execute and deliver an undated resignation letter to the Secretary of the Company or the Survivor of a Fundamental Change, as the case may be, which the Company and/or the Survivor of a Fundamental Change agrees shall not be dated or become effective until such time as an Investor Director’s and/or Appointed Director’s resignation is required pursuant to this Section 2.1.

(i) Exercise of Rights. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Investor Stockholders (which agreement shall be delivered to the Company as a condition to its effectiveness), the Board designation and nomination rights pursuant to this Section 2.1 will be exercised by Elevation.

Section 2.2. Board Committees. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, the Exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded and Committee Qualification Requirements, for as long as there is an Appointed Director or the Investor Director Entitlement is not zero, the Investor Stockholders shall be entitled to designate or nominate at least one (1) Appointed Director or Investor Director (as the case may be) and the Board shall appoint such director, to serve on each standing committee of the Board, except that where the requirements of applicable Law, the rules of the Exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded or Committee Qualification Requirements prescribe certain qualifications for such service on a standing committee of the Board and such Appointed Director or Investor Director, as applicable, does not meet such qualifications (excluding, for this purpose, the “exceptional and limited circumstances” exception under the Marketplace Rules of Nasdaq), the Investor Stockholders shall be entitled to have at least one (1) Appointed Director or Investor Director be an observer to such Board committee who will not be a member, voting or otherwise, of such Board committee. Notwithstanding any such observer status, any Board committee may hold executive sessions at which the observer is not permitted to be present and may withhold information from the observer in order to avoid any conflict of interest or in light of corporate governance concerns, or to comply with applicable Laws, and rules of the Exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded, in each case as reasonably determined in good faith by such Board committee.

Section 2.3. Information Rights.

(a) Subject to Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.4, during the Information Rights Period, the Company will deliver to the Investor Stockholders or an Investor Director the following information:

(b) During the Standstill Period, at every meeting (or action by written consent, if applicable) of the stockholders of the Company called, and at every postponement or adjournment thereof, each Investor Stockholder agrees to, and agrees to cause each Permitted Transferee to, cause any and all shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by it or them and entitled to be voted thereat to be present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting so that all such shares shall be counted as present for determining the presence of a quorum at such meeting.

Section 2.8. Notices Regarding Ownership and Investor Director Entitlement.

(a) Until such time as the Investor Director Entitlement is zero (0), the Investor Stockholders shall provide prompt written notice to the Company reasonably prior to, if

practicable, but in any event within two (2) days after, any Transfer by the Investor Stockholders of any Purchased Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares and shall state in such notice the material terms of such Transfer and an accurate accounting of the resulting Beneficial Ownership (including what portion thereof is Shared Beneficial Ownership) of the Investor Stockholders immediately following such Transfer. In addition, the Investor Stockholders will comply with the requirements set forth in Section 3.1(g). If the Investor Stockholders Transfer (other than pursuant to a bona fide pledge, but not a foreclosure thereon and other than to one or more Permitted Transferees) and/or convert into Common Stock a majority of the Purchased Shares, or if the Investor Stockholders Transfer (other than pursuant to a bona fide pledge, but not a foreclosure thereon and other than to one or more Permitted Transferees) and/or exercise for Common Stock a majority of the Warrants, the Investor Stockholders shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) days) notify the Company in writing. If the Company reasonably believes that the Investor Stockholders have Transferred (other than pursuant to a bona fide pledge, but not a foreclosure thereon, and other than to one or more Permitted Transferees) and/or converted a majority of the Purchased Shares, or have Transferred (other than pursuant to a bona fide pledge, but not a foreclosure thereon, and other than to one or more Permitted Transferees) and/or exercised a majority of the Warrants, it shall provide written notice, and the Investor Stockholders shall promptly confirm in writing whether or not they have so Transferred and/or converted a majority of the Purchased Shares or Transferred and/or exercised a majority of the Warrants.

(b) If the Company believes in good faith that there has been a reduction in the Investor Director Entitlement or the Board Representation Entitlement due to either (i) a Share Ownership Reduction or (ii) a Board Size Decrease, it shall provide written notice (the “Company Notice”) to the Investor Stockholders setting forth the Company’s calculation in reasonable detail of the Elevation Beneficial Ownership Percentage, and based on such Elevation Beneficial Ownership Percentage, the then applicable Investor Director Entitlement or Board Representation Entitlement, as the case may be. If in response to the Company Notice, the Investor Stockholders determine to acquire Beneficial Ownership of additional shares of Common Stock during the Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period, then within the Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period, the Investor Stockholders shall provide additional written notice (the “Additional Notice”) to the Company informing the Company of (i) whether or not they acquired Beneficial Ownership of a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock within the Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period to allow them to retain the Investor Director Entitlement or Board Representation Entitlement, as the case may be, as of immediately prior to the reduction of the Investor Director Entitlement or Board Representation Entitlement, as the case may be, that would otherwise occur (the result of such acquisitions, a “Beneficial Ownership Cure”), and (ii) the Elevation Beneficial Ownership of the date of the Additional Notice. Failure by the Investor Stockholders to provide the Additional Notice within the Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period shall be deemed confirmation that there has been the reduction in Investor Director Entitlement or Board Representation Entitlement, as the case may be, set forth in the Company Notice. Nothing in this Section 2.8 is intended to modify the restrictions set forth in Section 4.2 or the Standstill Limit.

Section 2.9. VCOC Investor Stockholders.

(a) With respect to each Investor Stockholder that is an Elevation Entity or a Controlled Affiliate of an Elevation Entity (for so long as they are Controlled Affiliates thereof), in each case that is intended to qualify as a “venture capital operating company” as defined in the Plan Asset Regulations, that holds Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Conversion Shares (each, a “VCOC Investor Stockholder”), at the written request of such VCOC Investor Stockholder, the Company shall, with respect to each such VCOC Investor Stockholder:

(i) provide such VCOC Investor Stockholder or its designated representative with the following: (1) the right to visit and inspect any of the offices and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries and inspect and copy the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the VCOC Investor Stockholder shall reasonably request; (2) copies of the information set forth in Section 2.3(a); and (3) copies of all materials provided to the Board; and

(ii) make appropriate officers and members of the Board available periodically and at such times as reasonably requested by such VCOC Investor Stockholder for consultation with such VCOC Investor Stockholder or its designated representative with respect to matters relating to the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including significant changes in management personnel and compensation of employees, introduction of new products or new lines of business, important acquisitions or dispositions of plants and equipment, significant research and development programs, the purchasing or selling of important trademarks, licenses or concessions or the proposed commencement or compromise of significant litigation;

The Company reserves the right to withhold any information and restrict access pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above (A) to the extent such information or access could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, (B) to any VCOC Investor Stockholder that is not a party to this Agreement, unless such VCOC Investor Stockholder agrees to be bound by, but not benefit from, the obligations under this Agreement as an Investor Stockholder, or (C) to any VCOC Investor Stockholder that is a direct competitor of the Company.

(b) The Company agrees to consider, in good faith, the recommendations of each VCOC Investor Stockholder or its designated representative in connection with the matters on which it is consulted as described above, recognizing that the ultimate discretion with respect to all such matters shall be retained by the Company.

(i) An Investor Stockholder may Transfer any or all of its shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares (A) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) pursuant to any tender offer, exchange offer, merger, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which stockholders of the Company are offered, permitted or required to participate as holders of any of the Company’s Capital Stock, provided that such transaction is an Approved Transaction which, to the extent of any Transfer of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, provides for such Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock to receive consideration no greater than the higher of (x) the consideration on a per share as-converted basis deliverable with respect to the Common Stock and (y) the Regular Liquidation Preference.

(ii) An Investor Stockholder may Transfer any or all of its shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares to any Permitted Transferee of such Investor Stockholder; provided that such Permitted Transferee (A) agrees to be bound hereunder as an Investor Stockholder, (B) agrees that the representations, covenants and other agreements made by the assignor herein shall be deemed to have been made by such Transferee, (C) shall execute a counterpart to this Agreement, the execution of which shall constitute such Transferee’s agreement to the terms of this Section 3.1(b)(ii), and (D) agrees that all notices hereunder to it may be delivered to Elevation on its behalf. Upon such a Transfer, the Permitted Transferee shall be deemed an Investor Stockholder hereunder and shall be entitled to the rights, and subject to the obligations and restrictions, contained herein.

(iii) The Investor Stockholders may, solely for the purpose of securing bona fide indebtedness for borrowed money (a “Secured Loan”) from any bank or financial institution (“Lenders”), make a bona fide pledge of any or all of the Purchased Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares and such Lenders may execute a bona

fide foreclosure upon such Purchased Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in any such Secured Loan, provided that any pledge or other contractual encumbrance or foreclosure resulting from a Secured Loan (including an obligation to repay such Secured Loan with the proceeds of any Transfer of, or dividend or distribution on, any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares) shall not be deemed to be a Transfer associated with such shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Loans of the Investor Stockholders may not exceed 30% of the aggregate fair market value, on the date of the incurrence of any such Secured Loan, of all of the Purchased Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants and/or Warrant Shares pledged to secure such indebtedness.

(iv) The Investor Stockholders shall Transfer shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants to the extent required pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 2.3 of the Series C Purchase Agreement.

As used herein, “Approved Transaction” means any tender offer, exchange offer, merger, sale of the Company, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other transaction that either (x) has been approved or recommended by the Board (and which at the time of Transfer continues to be approved or recommended by the Board) or (y) has not been effectively precluded by operation of the Company Rights Agreement because either (1) the Board has taken action such that the acquiring person in such transaction would not be an “Acquiring Person” (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) or such that the “Distribution Date” (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) would not occur in connection with such transaction or the Rights will otherwise not effectively preclude such transaction or (2) an Order has been issued invalidating or enjoining operation of the Company Rights Agreement in respect of such transaction. To the extent that any tender offer is effectively precluded by operation of the Company Rights Agreement, the Company will take such actions under its control as are reasonably requested by the Investor Stockholders so as to enable the Investor Stockholders to timely tender into such offer prior to expiration thereof (including any extensions thereto), shares of Common Stock that would be received upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants, in each case in the event the tender offer is no longer effectively precluded, without requiring conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants, in each case until after such time as such tender offer is no longer effectively precluded.

(c) After the Restricted Period Termination Date, the Investor Stockholders shall have the right to Transfer any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares without restriction hereunder, subject to the provisions of Section 2.8, Section 3.1(d), Section 3.1(e), Section 3.1(f), Section 3.1(g) and Section 3.2, provided that in the case of any Transfer to a Permitted Transferee, such

Permitted Transferee (i) agrees to be bound hereunder as an Investor Stockholder, (ii) agrees that the representations, covenants and other agreements made by the assignor herein shall be deemed to have been made by such Transferee, (iii) shall execute a counterpart to this Agreement, the execution of which shall constitute such Transferee’s agreement to the terms of this Section 3.1(c), and (iv) agrees that all notices hereunder to it may be delivered to Elevation on its behalf. Upon such a Transfer, the Permitted Transferee shall be deemed an Investor Stockholder hereunder and shall be entitled to the rights, and subject to the obligations and restrictions, contained herein.

(d) No Investor Stockholder may, together with its Affiliates, in any single transaction or series of related transactions, whether on, before or after the Restricted Period Termination Date, Transfer to any Person or group of related Persons (other than Permitted Transferees) shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares to the extent such Person or group of related Persons would, to the knowledge of such Investor Stockholder after due inquiry (it being understood that due inquiry shall not be required in circumstances where the purchaser in a sale transaction is not reasonably identifiable, such as in a “brokers’ transaction” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act), upon completion of the Transfer of such Conversion Shares Beneficially Own more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Common Stock, unless such Transfer (i) has been approved by, or is in connection with a transaction approved or recommended by, the Board, (ii) is made pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation or similar transaction that is an Approved Transaction, or (iii) is to an underwriter or placement agent in a Public Offering, provided that such underwriter or placement agent implements reasonable protections to the extent practicable so that such offering will not be made to, and would not reasonably facilitate the acquisition of Common Stock by, a Person or group of related Persons who after such offering would Beneficially Own more than 10% of the Common Stock. To the extent that any tender offer is not an Approved Transaction, the Company will take such actions under its control as are reasonably requested on a non-public basis and in compliance with Section 4.2 by the Investor Stockholders so as to enable the Investor Stockholders to timely tender into such offer prior to expiration thereof (including any extensions thereto), shares of Common Stock that would be received upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or upon exercise of the Warrants, in the event the tender offer becomes an Approved Transaction, without requiring conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants until after such time as such tender offer is an Approved Transaction.

(e) Any Transfer not made in accordance with this Section 3.1 shall be null and void and of no force or effect regardless of whether the proposed Transferee had actual or constructive knowledge of the Transfer restrictions set forth herein, and no such proposed Transfer will be recorded on the stock transfer books of the Company.

(f) (i) Subject to applicable Law, the Investor Stockholders (other than the Appointed Directors and the Investor Directors with respect to any Equity Securities held directly by such Persons, or indirectly by such Persons through family trusts, or similar arrangements or held directly by family members sharing the same household as the Appointed Director or Investor

Director) will not be subject to the Company’s trading policies requiring pre-clearance or limiting trading to specified dates (it being understood that this is not intended to modify the rights or obligations set forth in the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement), and (ii) the Investor Stockholders acknowledge their obligation hereunder not to Transfer shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares in contravention of applicable Law, including each of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act.

(g) The Investor Stockholders will comply with the Transfer notice provisions of Section 2.8. In addition, during the Information Rights Period, the Investor Stockholders will provide the Company with at least 24 hours advance notice (which notice must be delivered on a Business Day) of any Transfer (other than a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee) to be made during a period when the Company’s directors and executive offices are prohibited by Company policies from effecting any Transfer.

(h) The Investor Stockholders shall not be subject to any restrictions on Transfer other than as set forth in this Agreement, applicable Law and to the extent applicable, the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 3.2. Legends; Securities Act Compliance.

(a) Each certificate representing Conversion Shares and each certificate representing Warrant Shares will bear a legend conspicuously thereon to the following effect:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD UNLESS REGISTERED OR EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IN ADDITION, THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF A STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH AGREEMENT.”

(b) In addition to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.1, the Investor Stockholders and each Permitted Transferee shall not offer, sell or legally transfer any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares except pursuant to: (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) an opinion of legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that such Transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act; (iii) pursuant to Rule 144; or (iv) a “no action” letter from the staff of the SEC addressed to the Investor Stockholders or a Permitted Transferee to the effect that the Transfer without registration would not result in a recommendation by the staff to the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto.

(c) In the event that any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are Transferred in a Public Offering, the Company shall promptly, upon request, but in any event not later than is

necessary in order to consummate the sale of such securities pursuant to such Public Offering, remove the legend set forth above in connection with such Transfer. In the event that any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are Transferred pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall upon request, upon receipt of documentation reasonably required by the Company to confirm such Investor Stockholder’s eligibility to sell such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, promptly but in any event not later than is necessary in order to consummate the sale of such securities pursuant to Rule 144 (subject to receipt of such documentation a reasonable period of time prior to such sale), remove the second sentence of the legend set forth above in connection with such Transfer.

(d) In the event that any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares are Transferred in compliance with Section 3.1(b)(i), the Company shall promptly, upon request, but in any event not later than is necessary in order to consummate such Transfer, remove the second sentence of the legend set forth above in connection with such Transfer.

(e) In the event that any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares become transferable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act and the terms of this Section 3.2 no longer restrict the Transfer of such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares by the holder thereof, the Company shall promptly upon request remove the legends set forth above from the certificates representing such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares.

(f) Upon the termination of the restrictions set forth in Section 3.1, the Company shall promptly, upon request, deliver a replacement certificate not containing the second sentence of the legend set forth above.

ARTICLE 4
Certain Covenants

Section 4.1. Right to Maintain. During the Right to Maintain Period:

(a) The Company shall provide the Investor Stockholders the opportunity to purchase in any Offering of the type described in clause (ii) of the definition of “Offering” (which is not also of the type described in clause (i) of the definition of “Offering”), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide the Investor Stockholders the opportunity to purchase in any Offering of the type described in clause (i) of the definition of “Offering”, up to their respective Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, in no event shall the Investor Stockholders be entitled to purchase an amount of Equity Securities in any such Offering that would cause Section 4.2 to be violated.

(b) The Company shall send a written or electronic notice (the “Offering Notice”) in a manner it deems reasonably appropriate under the circumstances (which notice may or may not be in the same manner contemplated by Section 5.9) to Elevation on behalf of the Investor

Stockholders at the latest address or e-mail address known to the Company, indicating (i) the number of Equity Securities expected to be offered and the material terms of such Equity Securities, (ii) the expected price at which it proposes to offer such Equity Securities, or the expected formula for determining such price, (iii) the expected timing of the Offering, and (iv) the name, telephone and facsimile number or e-mail address of the Person at the Company to whom the Investor Stockholders should deliver a Response Notice (as defined below). To the extent that the Company in good faith determines that the process for the Investor Stockholders’ exercise of their rights pursuant to this Section 4.1 delays or impairs the Company’s ability to access the public markets at will, the Company shall notify the Investor Stockholders, and the Company and the Investor Stockholders will negotiate in good faith to modify such process to the extent practicable so that it no longer causes such delay or impediment (it being understood that no such negotiation shall impair or delay any impending Offering and any Offering may be consummated during such negotiations without giving the Investor Stockholders the right to participate).

(c) As promptly as practicable after its receipt of the Offering Notice, the Investor Stockholders shall provide the Company with written notice indicating its desire to purchase Equity Securities in the Offering, and indicating the name, telephone number, facsimile number or e-mail address of the Person or Persons that the underwriter(s) of the Offering should call to coordinate with respect to any sales to such purchaser (the “Response Notice”). If the Investor Stockholders or a Permitted Transferee shall fail to provide the Company with a Response Notice prior to the earlier to occur of (i) six hours before the pricing of the Offering, and (ii) one Business Day prior to the date of the expected Offering as set forth in the Offering Notice, then the Investor Stockholders shall not be given the opportunity to purchase Equity Securities in the Offering. In any event, it shall be a condition to the Investor Stockholders’ or a Permitted Transferee’s opportunity to purchase Equity Securities in an Offering that it comply with the reasonable requests of the underwriter(s) necessary for it to purchase shares in the Offering (e.g., establishing an account with an underwriter in the Offering). The rights of the Investor Stockholders under this Section 4.1 shall not modify the restrictions set forth in Section 4.2 with respect to the then applicable Standstill Limit.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to an Offering of the type described in clause (i) of the definition of “Offering”, the Company and the Investor Stockholders will comply with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement to the extent the provisions of such Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement are then applicable.

Section 4.2. Standstill.

(ii) (A) solicit or participate in any solicitation of proxies with respect to any Voting Stock, or (B) seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to the voting of any Voting Stock (other than (x) the Investor Stockholders or any Affiliate or (y) other than in accordance with and consistent with the recommendation of the Board); provided, that the limitation contained in this clause (ii) shall not apply to any proposal recommended by the Board relating to a Change in Control of the Company to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders that is not instituted or proposed by any Investor Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Investor Stockholder or any 13D Group of which any Investor Stockholder or any Affiliate of an Investor Stockholder is a member;

(iii) deposit any Voting Stock in a voting trust or, except as otherwise provided or contemplated herein, subject any Voting Stock to any arrangement or agreement with any Person with respect to the voting of such Voting Stock;

(v) effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect any Change in Control of the Company;

(vi) effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect any recapitalization (other than the Merger), restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other transaction with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(vii) authorize or take any action to permit any Affiliate of Elevation to be named as a director candidate on a proxy or ballot of any other Person other than the proxy or ballot of the Company with the recommendation of the Board;

(viii) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect control of the management, Board or policies of the Company or to seek a waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the voting and conversion limits set forth in the Series B Certificate of Designation and Series C Certificate of Designation; provided, however, that no action by an Appointed Director or Investor Director (solely in their capacities as such) shall be deemed to violate this Section 4.2(a)(viii);

(ix) take any action that results in the Investor Stockholders having to file or amend a Schedule 13D indicating an intention, plan or proposal to do any of the foregoing; or

(x) otherwise take any action that would or could reasonably be expected to compel the Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the matters set forth in this Section 4.2.

(b) If, at any time during the Standstill Period, (i) the Company has entered into a definitive agreement, the consummation of which would result in a Fundamental Change, or (ii) any Person shall have commenced and not withdrawn a bona fide public tender or exchange offer which if consummated would result in a Fundamental Change and the Board has not recommended that its stockholders reject such offer within the time period contemplated by Rule 14d-9, for so long as such condition continues to apply, the limitation on the actions described in clauses (a)(ii), (a)(iii), (a)(iv) (and any related acquisition of Beneficial Ownership solely by being part of a group shall be exempt from (a)(i)), (a)(v), (a)(vi), (a)(ix) and (a)(x) above shall not be applicable to the Investor Stockholders (but all other provisions of this Agreement will, subject to Section 4.2(c), continue to apply).

(c) Anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, this Section 4.2 shall not prohibit or restrict any actions taken by the Investor Stockholders’ designee or designees on the Board in their capacities as a member of the Board and in compliance with and subject to his or her fiduciary duties as a member of the Board.

(d) The Investor Stockholders agree that during the Standstill Period they will not directly or indirectly propose, effect or agree to any transaction which if consummated would result in a Change of Control of the Company in which the acquiring counterparty is (i) an Investor Stockholder or an Affiliate of an Investor Stockholder or (ii) a member of a 13D Group of which an Investor Stockholder or an Affiliate of an Investor Stockholder is also a member, in

each case unless such transaction is approved by (or in the case of a tender or exchange offer, is conditioned on the receipt of tenders from), the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not Beneficially Owned by the Investor Stockholders or any of their affiliates (as defined in Section 12b-2 of the Exchange Act).

Section 4.3. Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor Stockholders and each Investor Stockholder Controlling Person and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, in their respective capacities as such (the “Indemnitees”) against any out-of-pocket: costs, penalties, judgments, awards, disbursements, amounts paid in settlement or compromise and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively “Damages”) arising out of or resulting from any governmental or third party allegations or claim commenced or made on or after October 24, 2007 against such Indemnitee relating to any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each such claim, a “Vicarious Claim”), including any Damages arising out of or relating to any federal, state or other securities law arising out of or relating to any offer or sale of securities by the Company or its Subsidiaries, provided that the Company will not be liable for any such Damages to the extent that such Damages are judicially determined to have resulted primarily from an Indemnitee’s express acts or omissions that are in bad faith or constitute willful misconduct, and upon such a judicial determination the Investor Stockholders will, and will cause each other Indemnitee to, promptly reimburse the Company for any amounts previously paid by the Company for which the Company is not liable pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.3. At the Company’s request, the Investor Stockholders and the other Indemnitees shall consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Vicarious Claim to which they are parties provided that such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of each Indemnitee with respect to such Vicarious Claim without imposing any obligations or liabilities on any Indemnitee. The Investor Stockholders and the other Indemnitees shall not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement of claims against them in any Vicarious Claim without the written consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.3 to the contrary, the Damages shall not include any lost profits based on the potential appreciation of or hypothetical investment returns on the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares.

(b) The rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation or under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of this Section 4.3, the term “Indemnitees” shall not include any Person who is an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries in such capacity as an officer, director or employee.

Section 4.4. Regulatory Matters. If necessary, at the request of an Investor Stockholder, the Company shall promptly make any and all filings which it is required to make under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), for the conversion of the Purchased Shares into the Conversion Shares, the exercise of the Warrants for the Warrant Shares and the exercise of the rights pursuant to Section 4.1, and the Company agrees to furnish the Investor Stockholders with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the Investor Stockholders may reasonably request, in connection with its preparation of any necessary filings or submissions to the Federal Trade Commission or the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, including, without limitation, any filings or notices necessary under the HSR Act. The Company shall pay or reimburse all expenses and fees payable to governmental authorities in connection with filings made pursuant to this Section 4.4.

Section 4.5. Company Rights Agreement. During the Standstill Period, the Company agrees that it shall not take any action to amend, modify or supplement the Company Rights Agreement (as amended by the Rights Agreement Amendment), or adopt, propose or implement any other shareholder rights plan, in each case such that (a) the Rights become exercisable, (b) a Distribution Date (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) occurs, or (c) the Investor Stockholders or any of their Affiliates becomes an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan), in each case due to the Beneficial Ownership by the Investor Stockholders and their Affiliates of the Purchased Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares and any other Equity Securities, so long as none of the Investor Stockholders, the Elevation Entities or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of the foregoing Persons acting in concert with any other Person, shall acquire any Economic Rights or Beneficial Ownership of Equity Securities if the effect of such acquisition would be that the Common Stock Beneficially Owned in the aggregate by the Investor Stockholders and their Affiliates (including, without limitation, any 13D Group of which any Investor Stockholder or any Affiliate thereof is a member) would exceed the Standstill Limit as may be in effect from time to time (regardless of the termination of the Standstill Period or any other provision of this Agreement), except (x) as a result of the Beneficial Ownership of or exercise of any Rights, (y) the receipt of any Capital Stock, rights or other securities from the Company pursuant to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock or the Warrants (or the exercise or conversion of any such Capital Stock rights or other securities) and (z) Equity Securities issued to Appointed Directors or Investor Directors in their capacities as such, if any, provided that for purposes of calculating the number of shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Investor Stockholders and their Affiliates, there shall be excluded from such calculation shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by Affiliates of the Investor Stockholders that are not also Beneficially Owned by the Investor Stockholders up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that will be excluded pursuant to this clause equal one percent (1%) of the Diluted Common Shares Outstanding. It is agreed that for purposes of the Company Rights Agreement, if and to the extent that a Person is deemed not to be considered an Affiliate of an Investor Stockholder under the definition of “Affiliate” in Exhibit A hereto, such Person shall

not be considered an “Affiliate” or “Associate” of an Investor Stockholder under the Company Rights Agreement (i.e., definitions of “Acquiring Person” and “Beneficial Owner”, respectively), or any successor or substitute therefor. It is agreed that to the extent that any Person (a “Contracting Party”) who is not an Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof, and who is not a member of any 13D Group of which any Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof is a member, enters into an agreement, arrangement or understanding with an Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof with respect to the purchase or sale from or to such Contracting Party of any Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares or other Equity Securities (the securities that are the subject of such purchase/sale arrangement, “Subject Securities”), which agreement, arrangement or understanding is not in violation of the provisions of Section 4.2(a) (without regard to Section 4.2(b)) (to the extent directly relating to such purchase/sale, an “Unrelated Contract”), then (i) such Contracting Party and its affiliates and associates shall not be deemed to beneficially own (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) by virtue of such Unrelated Contract any Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares or other Equity Securities held by any Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof, other than the Subject Securities, and (ii) no Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof shall be deemed to beneficially own (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) by virtue of such Unrelated Contract any Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares or other Equity Securities held by the Contracting Party or its associates and affiliates, other than any Subject Securities (it being understood, for the purposes of clarity, that this sentence shall not in any way exclude from operation of the Company Rights Agreement (or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) the effects of (A) any other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the acquisition, disposition, holding or voting of any Equity Securities other than the purchase or sale, as applicable, of the Subject Securities and/or (B) any acting in concert by any Persons with respect to the acquisition, disposition, holding or voting of any Equity Securities other than the purchase or sale, as applicable, of the Subject Securities. To the extent that any Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares or other Equity Securities held by any Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof are subject to any bona fide pledge (but not a foreclosure thereon) or contractual encumbrance (collectively, “Encumbrances”) resulting from a bona fide incurrence of indebtedness for money borrowed that is not entered into with the intent or purpose of effecting any action that would otherwise be prohibited by Section 4.2(a) or Article 3 (“Loans”) from any bank or financial institution (a “Loan Party”) (such securities, “Pledged Securities”), (x) no Loan Party or any of its associates or affiliates shall be deemed to beneficially own (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) by virtue of any such Encumbrances or agreements (to the extent directly relating to such Loans) any such Pledged Securities except any Equity Securities acquired by such Lender as a result of the foreclosure on such Pledged Securities and (y) no Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof shall be deemed to beneficially own (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable

term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) any Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares or other Equity Securities held by any Loan Party or any of its associates or affiliates by virtue of any such Encumbrances, or such agreements (to the extent directly relating to such Loans). In furtherance of the foregoing, during the Standstill Period, the Company shall in connection with any amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement (the terms or provisions so amended, modified or supplemented, the “Amended Terms”), take such action as necessary to amend, modify or supplement the Company Rights Agreement (as amended from time to time), or any other shareholder rights plan then in effect, in each case to give effect to such Amended Terms (to the extent applicable) in the Company Rights Agreement, as may be amended or otherwise modified or supplemented from time to time, or any other shareholder rights plan then in effect, contemporaneously with such amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement.

Section 4.6. Section 16 Matters.
