VOTING AND PARTICIPATION RIGHTS

Section 2.1 Voting Rights.

(a) During the time this Agreement is in effect, the Shareholder shall take such action (and shall cause Samsung and each of its and Samsung’s Affiliates that Beneficially Own Voting Securities to take such action) (including, if applicable, through the execution of one or more written consents if shareholders of the Company are requested to vote through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Company) as may be required so that all Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by it (or any such Affiliate) from time to time are voted in the same manner (“for,” “against,” “withheld,” “abstain” or otherwise, with lost, damaged or disfigured ballots counting as abstentions to the extent that they cannot be counted as “for,” “against,” “withheld” or otherwise under applicable Law) as recommended by the Board to the other holders of Voting Securities; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3.1, the Shareholder or any of its Affiliates shall not be under any obligation to vote any shares of Common Stock held by them in accordance with the recommendation of the Board with respect to the approval (or non-approval) or adoption (or non-adoption) of a transaction that would result in a Change of Control of the Company or with respect to a matter the approval of which would materially adversely affect the Shareholder’s rights as a shareholder of the Company disproportionately to the other shareholders of the Company taken as a group (which for the avoidance of doubt shall not include any vote with respect to the election of directors, compensation matters or any “routine” matters). The Shareholder further agrees not to, and shall cause Samsung and each of its and Samsung’s Affiliates not to, take any other actions as a shareholder of the Company intended to or reasonably likely to, directly or indirectly, circumvent, avoid or nullify the voting arrangements required by this Section 2.1 and Section 3.1.

(b) The Shareholder, as the holder(s) of Voting Securities, shall use its, and shall cause Samsung and each of its and Samsung’s Affiliates to use their, reasonable best efforts to be present, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of the shareholders of the Company so that all Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by it or them (or by any such Affiliate of the Shareholder or Samsung) from time to time may be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings. The foregoing provision shall also apply to the execution by the Shareholder or any Affiliate of the Shareholder or Samsung, as the holder(s) of Voting Securities, of any written consent in lieu of a meeting of holders of Voting Securities or any class thereof.

(c) In furtherance of this Section 2.1 and Section 3.1, the Shareholder shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, Samsung and Samsung’s Affiliates to, if and when requested by the Company from time to time, promptly execute and deliver to the Company an irrevocable proxy, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, and irrevocably appoint the Company or its designees, with full power of substitution, its attorney, agent and proxy to vote (or cause to be voted) or to give consent with respect to, all of the Voting Securities as to which the Shareholder (or any Affiliates of the Shareholder or Samsung), is entitled to vote, in the manner and with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.1 and Section 3.1; provided, however, that in the event the Affiliates of the Shareholder and Samsung (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Shareholder and Samsung) collectively own less than one (1) percent of the outstanding Common Stock at such time, the Shareholder shall not have an obligation to cause its or Samsung’s Affiliates (other than Samsung and any of Samsung’s or the Shareholder’s Subsidiaries) to deliver the foregoing irrevocable proxy. The Shareholder acknowledges, and shall cause its Affiliates, Samsung and Samsung’s Affiliates to acknowledge, that any such proxy executed and delivered shall be coupled with an interest, shall constitute, among other things, an inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement, shall be irrevocable and binding on any successor in interest of such Shareholder (or any Affiliate of the Shareholder or Samsung), as applicable, and shall not be terminated by operation of Law upon the occurrence of any event, except that such proxy shall terminate and be of no further effect upon the valid termination of this Agreement. Such proxy shall operate to revoke and render void any prior proxy as to any Voting Securities heretofore granted by such Shareholder (or any Affiliate of the Shareholder or Samsung), as applicable, to the extent it is inconsistent with such proxy.

Section 2.2 Participation Rights.

(a) If the Company proposes to issue any new Capital Stock in connection with a Capital Raising Transaction (the “New Shares”), unless prohibited by applicable law or the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed or trading, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to provide a notice in writing (the “Participation Notice”) to the Shareholder at least seven (7) days prior to engaging in such Capital Raising Transaction and shall allow the Shareholder to participate in such offering based on its Pro Rata Portion of such New Shares on the same terms as such New Shares are to be offered in such offering (each such right, a “Participation Right”); provided that if the Company does not provide a Participation Notice at least seven (7) days prior to engaging in a Capital Raising Transaction, (i) the Company shall provide the Participation Notice to the Shareholder as soon as practicable thereafter, (ii) if the Participation Notice was provided to the Shareholder prior to the closing of the Capital Raising Transaction, the Company

shall (A) use reasonable best efforts to enable the Shareholder to exercise its Participation Right in such Capital Raising Transaction or (B) if such Capital Raising Transaction has closed without the Shareholder’s participation therein, enable the Shareholder to receive substantially equivalent securities as were issued in such Capital Raising Transaction (which securities shall have no worse rights as to liquidation and dividends than the New Shares) (provided that, in each case, the Company shall not be required to delay closing of such Capital Raising Transaction) and (iii) if the Participation Notice was provided to the Shareholder after the closing of the Capital Raising Transaction, the Company shall enable the Shareholder to receive substantially equivalent securities as were issued in such Capital Raising Transaction (which securities shall have no worse rights as to liquidation and dividends than the New Shares) (in the case of sub-clauses (ii)(B) and (iii) above, the Participation Notice and Participation Right shall be deemed to refer and apply to such substantially equivalent securities rather than New Shares subject to the Capital Raising Transaction). Regardless of whether or not the Participation Notice was delivered prior to or after the closing of the Capital Raising Transaction as described in the Participation Notice, the Shareholder shall have seven (7) days from the date the Participation Notice was delivered to the Shareholder to deliver to the Company the Participation Acceptance Notice pursuant to Section 2.2(b) (such seven (7) day period during which the Shareholder has a Participation Right (including the right to receive substantially equivalent securities) is referred to as the “Participation Acceptance Period”); provided, however, that any acquisition or acquisitions of Capital Stock pursuant to the Participation Right shall not cause the Total Ownership Percentage of the Shareholder Group to exceed the Ownership Cap. A “Capital Raising Transaction” shall mean any issuance of shares of Common Stock or other securities of any type whatsoever (for the avoidance of doubt excluding a distribution of rights pursuant to a shareholder rights plan issued for no consideration) that are or may become convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, other than in a private transaction with a Person that (i) alone or with or through its Affiliates has (or will have in connection with a Capital Raising Transaction) a strategic relationship (including, for the avoidance of doubt, commercial relationships with customers, suppliers, vendors, distributors, etc.) with the Company or any of its Affiliates and (ii) is not acting as an initial purchaser for further distribution of such securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) a Capital Raising Transaction shall not include any issuance of shares of Common Stock or other securities (x) in connection with an acquisition, merger, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction by or involving the Company or any of its Affiliates or (y) in connection with director and employee compensation or incentive plans of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and (B) with respect to shares of Common Stock sold in any underwritten public offering, the Company or the underwriters for such offering shall have no obligation pursuant to this Section 2.2 (including any obligation to give notice or reserve any securities or be required to allow the Shareholder to subscribe for any securities). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Capital Raising Transaction that involves solely the issuance of Common Stock shall not require the delivery of the Participation Notice and the Shareholder shall not have a Participation Right with respect to such issuance.

(b) The Participation Notice shall specify (i) the number and type of New Shares to be issued (or that were issued), (ii) the date on which the Company proposes to issue the New Shares (or the date the Company issued the New Shares), (iii) the price per New Share and the terms and conditions on which the New Shares will be available for subscription (or were subscribed for), and (iv) the Participation Acceptance Period. If the Shareholder desires to subscribe to New Shares, it shall notify the Company in writing within the Participation

Acceptance Period of the number of New Shares it wishes to purchase at the price and on the terms described in the Participation Notice, which number shall not exceed both the Shareholder’s Pro Rata Portion or cause the Shareholder Group’s Total Ownership Percentage to exceed the Ownership Cap (the “Participation Acceptance Notice”). The Participation Acceptance Notice shall be binding and irrevocable.

(c) If the Shareholder fails to submit the Participation Acceptance Notice to the Company during the Participation Acceptance Period or submits the Participation Acceptance Notice to the Company indicating its desire to purchase less than its Pro Rata Portion, then the Company shall be entitled to offer any unsubscribed New Shares to any third party at the same price and on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Participation Notice.

(d) In the event that the issuance of New Shares in full to the Shareholder pursuant to this Section 2.2 would require the approval by the Company’s shareholders under applicable Law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company does not seek and obtain such approval (for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no obligation to seek or obtain such approval), (i) the excess amount of such New Shares to the extent otherwise triggering such shareholder approval requirement will be excluded from the total number of New Shares that the Shareholder would otherwise have a right to purchase pursuant to this Section 2.2 and (ii) the Shareholder shall instead be permitted to acquire up to a number of shares of Common Stock, that would, in the aggregate, result, after giving effect to such open market transactions, in the Shareholder’s Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock being equal to what the Shareholder’s Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock would have been had New Shares been issued in full pursuant to this Section 2.2 to the Shareholder in the absence of such shareholder approval requirement.

(e) The Shareholder agrees that all information provided by the Company to the Shareholder pursuant to this Section 2.2 (other than such information that is disclosed to the general public by or on behalf of the Company) shall be treated by the Shareholder and its Affiliates as confidential information and shall not be disclosed by the Shareholder and its Affiliates to any third party without the prior written consent of the Company, except (i) as required by applicable Law or the rules of any securities exchange or market and (ii) to their agents, representatives and advisors retained in relation to the participation in the Capital Raising Transaction (only to the extent necessary to perform the duties of such agents, representatives and advisors and only if such agents, representatives and advisors agree to keep such information confidential and the Shareholder remains liable for any breach of this provision by any such agents, representatives or advisors).

ARTICLE III

If, during the time this Agreement is in effect, the Total Ownership Percentage of the Shareholder Group exceeds the Ownership Cap at any time, the Shareholder shall promptly provide written notice of such excess to the Company and promptly dispose of, cause Samsung to dispose of, or use reasonable best efforts to cause the other members of the Shareholder Group to promptly, and in no event later

than (a) six (6) months after the Shareholder or Samsung becomes aware that the Ownership Cap has been exceeded as a result of ownership of Capital Stock by an Affiliate (other than a Subsidiary) of the Shareholder or Samsung and (b) three (3) months after the Shareholder or Samsung becomes aware that the Ownership Cap has been exceeded as a result of ownership of Capital Stock by a Subsidiary of the Shareholder or Samsung, dispose of, such number of shares of Common Stock owned by any member of the Shareholder Group as shall be necessary to reduce the Total Ownership Percentage of the Shareholder Group to no more than the Ownership Cap; provided that any such required disposition shall be subject to the transfer restrictions under Section 4.1. The foregoing notwithstanding, if at any time during the term of this Agreement the Total Ownership Percentage of the Shareholder Group exceeds the Ownership Cap immediately after a repurchase of Common Stock by the Company pursuant to a tender offer, open market purchases or otherwise (a “Company Repurchase”), then the Shareholder shall, within twelve (12) months after the date the Shareholder receives from the Company a written notice of such Company Repurchase, (a) dispose of, or (b) cause the other members of the Shareholder Group to dispose of, such number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Shareholder Group as shall be necessary to reduce the Total Ownership Percentage of the Shareholder Group to no more than the Ownership Cap; provided that any such required disposition shall be subject to the Transfer restrictions under Section 4.1. For the avoidance of doubt, the dispositions required under this Section 3.1 shall not require any member of the Shareholder Group to dispose of any shares of Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Shareholder shall, shall cause its Affiliates and Samsung and Samsung’s Affiliates to, vote all Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by each of them in excess of the Ownership Cap (the “Excess Shares”) and all Breach Shares (as defined in the Standstill Agreement) Beneficially Owned by each of them, at any meeting of shareholders (or action by written consent in lieu of any such meeting) as recommended by the Board (including, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, voting in accordance with the Board’s recommendation with respect to any Change of Control proposal or Change of Control transaction or for any other matter).

consummation of such Transfer Beneficially Own, together with its Affiliates, a number of shares of Common Stock representing more than five percent (5%) of the Common Stock outstanding at such time (any such person, a “Prohibited Transferee”); provided, however, that the restrictions under this Section 4.1(b) shall not apply to Transfers effected through a bona fide Underwritten Offering pursuant to an exercise of the registration rights provided in Article V so long as the Holder effecting any such Transfers shall instruct the managing underwriter(s) of any such Underwritten Offering to exclude (as a Transferee) Prohibited Transferees from such Underwritten Offering.

(c) Any purported Transfer that is not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article IV shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, null and void ab initio and, in addition to other rights and remedies at Law and in equity, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief enjoining the prohibited action.

(b) to another Person pursuant to any merger, tender or exchange offer to acquire Common Stock or recapitalization that, in each case, the Board has approved and/or recommended to the Company’s shareholders.

A Demand Notice shall also specify the expected method or methods of disposition of the applicable Registrable Securities.

(b) Following receipt of a Demand Notice, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file, as promptly as reasonably practicable, a Registration Statement (including, without limitation, on Form S-3 (or any comparable or successor form or forms or any similar short-form registration) by means of a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, if so requested by the Shareholder and the Company is then eligible to use such a registration and if there is no then-currently effective shelf registration statement on file with the SEC that would cover all the Registrable Securities requested to be registered) (or amend an existing Registration Statement if there is a then-effective shelf registration statement on file with the SEC that would cover all the Registrable Securities requested to be registered) relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by the Shareholder and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof; provided, however, that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to the Shareholder, its counsel and the managing underwriter(s), if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (including all exhibits thereto) with the SEC reasonably in advance of any filing to permit a reasonable opportunity for the Shareholder, its counsel and the managing underwriter(s) to review and comment in light of the circumstances, and the Company shall in good faith consider any such comments.

(c) The Shareholder Group shall collectively be entitled to request no more than four (4) Demand Registrations from the Company; provided that in no event shall the Company be required to effect more than two (2) Demand Registrations in any eighteen (18)-month period.

(d) At any time that a Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, the Selling Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities subject to such Demand Registration and the Company shall jointly select nationally recognized and top tier investment banker(s) and/or manager(s) that will serve as managing underwriter(s) (and the Company shall select which such managing underwriters will serve as lead or co-lead) and other underwriter(s) with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or be obligated to take any action to effect, any registration of Registrable Securities upon receipt of a Demand Notice pursuant to this Section 5.1 for a period of up to one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of a Company-initiated registration (other than: (i) a registration relating to the sale of securities to employees of the Company or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan; (ii) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities; or (iii) a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered); provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; and provided further that the Company may not invoke this right more than twice in any eighteen (18) month period.

Section 5.2 Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in this Article V, the Company shall effect such registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall cooperate in the sale of the securities and shall, as promptly as practicable (in each case subject to Section 5.1):

(a) Use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days after the first date of such effectiveness and (ii) such time as all of the securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed; and use its reasonable best efforts to comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, and as so supplemented use its reasonable best efforts to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act.

(b) Notify each Selling Holder and the managing underwriter(s), if any, promptly, (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other Governmental Entity for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (v) of the existence of any fact of which the Company is or becomes aware that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus related thereto untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, documents or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and that in the case of any Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) Use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction at the reasonably earliest practical date.

(d) Furnish or make available to each Selling Holder, and each managing underwriter, if any, upon request, such reasonable number of conformed copies of the Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements (but excluding schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits, unless requested in writing by such Holder, counsel or managing underwriter(s)), and such other documents, as such Holders or such managing underwriter(s) may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holders.

(e) Deliver to each Selling Holder, and the managing underwriter(s), if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus related to any such Prospectuses) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities; and the Company, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 5.2, hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the Selling Holders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any such amendment or supplement thereto.

(f) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Selling Holders, the managing underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Selling Holder or managing underwriter(s) reasonably requests in writing and to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and use its reasonable best efforts to take any other action that may be necessary or advisable to enable such Selling Holders to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdiction; provided, however, that, except as may be required by the Securities Act, the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

(g) Cooperate with the Selling Holders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any legends) representing Registrable Securities to be sold after receiving written representations from each Selling Holder that the Registrable Securities represented by the certificates so delivered by such Selling Holder will be transferred in accordance with the Registration Statement, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter(s), if any, or the Selling Holders, may reasonably request at least four (4) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.

(h) Use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Entities within the United States, except as may be required solely as a consequence of the nature of such Selling Holder’s business, in which case the Company will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing of such Registration Statement and the granting of such approvals, as may be necessary to enable the Selling Holders thereof or the managing underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

(i) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 5.2 (b)(ii), (b)(iii), (b)(iv) or (b)(v) above, use its reasonable best efforts to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference or an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus related thereto, or use its reasonable best efforts to file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Selling Holders, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(j) Except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law and upon execution of a customary confidentiality agreement, promptly make available for inspection by the Representatives of the Selling Holders, the managing underwriter(s), if any, and any attorneys or accountants retained by such Selling Holders or managing underwriter(s), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as shall be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the officers, directors, employees of the Company to supply, and use reasonable best efforts to cause the independent accountants of the Company to supply, information in each case reasonably requested by any such Representative, managing underwriter(s), attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement.

(k) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and a CUSIP number (which could be an existing CUSIP number) for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement.

(l) Enter into such customary agreements and take all such other reasonable and customary actions (in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company) in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement, and to the extent required by the managing underwriter(s), to cause the Company’s management to participate by telephone (unless the Company otherwise agrees), on a customary basis, in a customary road show of reasonable duration arranged by the managing underwriter(s) with prospective investors; provided, however, that the scheduling of any such road show shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the business of the Company.

(m) In connection with any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement reasonably necessary to effect the offer and sale of

the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement, in such form and containing such provisions as are customary for underwritten offerings of the type proposed (which underwriting agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company).

(n) Obtain a comfort letter from the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm(s) in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold may reasonably request.

(o) Provide a legal opinion of the Company’s counsel, dated the effective date of the Registration Statement (or, in connection with any Underwritten Offering, the date of the closing under the applicable underwriting agreement), with respect to such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the Prospectus included therein (including the preliminary Prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature.

(p) Cause all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed or quoted on each securities exchange or quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted.

The Company may require each Selling Holder to furnish to the Company in writing such information required in connection with such Registration regarding such Selling Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing and the Company may exclude from such Registration the Registrable Securities of any Selling Holder who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.

Each Selling Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 5.2(b)(ii), (b)(iii) or (b)(v) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5.2(i), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus; provided, however, that the Company shall extend the time periods under this Section 5.2 with respect to the length of time that the effectiveness of a Registration Statement must be maintained by the amount of time the Holder is required to discontinue disposition of such securities.

Section 5.3 Registration Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to this Article V shall be borne and paid by the Company. All Selling Expenses shall be borne by the Selling Holders.

Section 5.4 Blackout Periods. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Registration Statement, or amendment or supplement thereto, whether filed or to be filed pursuant to this Agreement, if the Company delivers to the Holders whose sales of Registrable Securities are covered (or to be covered) by such Registration Statement

a notice signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer or General Counsel (or other Person holding a similar position) of the Company (a “Blackout Notice”) stating that, in the good faith judgment of the General Counsel (or other Person holding a similar position) of the Company, maintaining the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or filing an amendment or supplement thereto (or, if no Registration Statement has yet been filed, the filing of such a Registration Statement) would reasonably likely (i) require the public disclosure of material non-public information concerning any material development, state of facts, transaction or negotiations involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) require the public disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company at a time when its directors and executive officers are restricted from trading in the Company’s securities pursuant to a Company policy with respect to “black-out periods” or (iii) would adversely affect or jeopardize, in each case in any material respect, a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing (including maintaining the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or filing an amendment or supplement thereto (or, if no Registration Statement has yet been filed, the filing of such a Registration Statement)) for a reasonable period of not more than ninety (90) days (a “Blackout Period”); provided that the Company may not invoke this right more than 120 days in the aggregate in any consecutive twelve (12) month period; and, provided, further that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other shareholder during any Blackout Period, other than: pursuant to (A) a registration relating to the sale of securities to employees of the Company or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan; (B) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities; or (C) a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered. Upon the receipt of any such Blackout Notice, during the Blackout Period set forth in such notice, the Holders shall forthwith discontinue use of the prospectus contained in any effective Registration Statement.

Section 5.5 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder including Registrable Securities in any such Registration Statement, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the partners, members, officers, directors, owners, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject under any securities Laws including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other statute or common Law of the United States or any other country or political subdivision thereof, or otherwise, and shall promptly reimburse them, as and when incurred, for any reasonable, actual and documented legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions or proceedings, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each, a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in or incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement, including

any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any free writing prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, or in any offering memorandum or other offering document relating to the offering and sale of such securities, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company (or any of its agents or Affiliates) of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; provided, however, the Company shall not be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding to the extent that it (A) arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder; or (B) is caused by such Holder’s disposition of Registrable Securities during any period during which such Holder is obligated to discontinue any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or as a result of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or prospectus with respect to Registrable Securities (provided that the Company has notified the Holder of the issuance by the SEC of such stop order prior to the time the Holder disposed of such Registrable Securities); and provided, further, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.5 (a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Each Holder including Registrable Securities in any such Registration Statement shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the partners, members, officers, directors, owners, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, any underwriter, any other Person selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Person, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject under any securities Laws including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other statute or common Law of the United States or any other country or political subdivision thereof, or otherwise, and shall promptly reimburse them, as and when incurred, for any reasonable, actual and documented legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions or proceedings, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) (i) which arise out of or are based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, or (ii) which is caused by such Holder’s disposition of Registrable Securities during any period during which such Holder is obligated to discontinue any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or as a result of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or prospectus with respect to Registrable Securities (provided that the Company has notified the Holder of the issuance by the SEC of such stop order prior to the time such Holder disposed of such Registrable Securities); provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.5(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if

such settlement is effected without the written consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that, in the absence of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under Sections 5.5(a) and (d) shall not exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified Party under this Section 5.6 of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding for which indemnification under Section 5.5(a) or Section 5.5(b) may be requested, such indemnified Party shall notify such indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement of such action or proceeding. Such indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying Party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying Party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified Party, and, after notice from the indemnifying Party to such indemnified Party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that an indemnified Party (together with all other indemnified Parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one (1) separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying Party, if and only if representation of such indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between such indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action or proceeding. The failure of an indemnified Party to deliver written notice to the indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding, if prejudicial in any material respect to its ability to defend such action or proceeding, shall relieve such indemnifying Party of any liability to the indemnified Party under this Section 5.5.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.5 from the indemnifying Party is held by a court of competent jurisdiction (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) to be unavailable to an indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying Party and indemnified Party in connection with the statements, omissions or other actions which resulted in such claim or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying Party and indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any statement, omission or other action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying Party or indemnified Party, and the Parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or other action; provided, however, that in any such case, (i) in the absence of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price for all Registrable

Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such Registration Statement, and (ii) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided, further, however, that, in the absence of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the contribution under this Section 5.5(d) on the part of any Holder, when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 5.5(b), shall not exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

(e) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 5.5 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement and otherwise.

Section 5.6 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) make and keep current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to the Holder forthwith upon written request (which request may only be made once during any twelve (12) month period) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144.

Section 8.3 Specific Performance.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each Party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other Party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in Law or equity, including monetary damages) to seek to obtain (i) a decree or

order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (A) each Party is entitled to seek to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (B) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the Parties hereto would have entered into this Agreement.

(b) Each Party further agrees that (i) such Party will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at Law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity and (ii) no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.3, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

Section 8.4 Assignment; Binding Effect. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement will be assigned, in whole or in part, by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties.
