The Stockholder agrees to provide the Company with such information in connection with a Demand Request as may be reasonably requested by the Company to facilitate such Demand Request.

Section 5.3 Registration Obligations.

(a) Any Takedown Request or Demand Request may be revoked by notice from the Stockholder to the Company at any time prior to the later of the filing of the corresponding Takedown Prospectus Supplement or the effective date of the Demand Registration Statement; provided that the Stockholder reimburses the Company for all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such Takedown Request or Demand Request. The Stockholder may not make more than one Takedown Request or Demand Request in any 70-day period, including any Takedown Request or Demand Request that has been revoked as set forth in this Section 5.3(a), it being understood that (a) if any Underwritten Offering is consummated pursuant to a Takedown Request or a Demand Request, such 70-day period shall commence on the closing date of such offering and (ii) the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Takedown Request or Demand Request if, as of the date of the request, at least three Underwritten Offerings have been consummated within the trailing twelve-month period pursuant to a Takedown Request and/or Demand Request.

materially and adversely affect any pending or contemplated financing, offering or sale of any class of securities by the Company, (iii) require disclosure of material non-public information which, if disclosed at such time, would not be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, or (iv) have a material adverse effect on the Company; provided, that in the event that the Company proposes to register Common Stock, whether or not for sale for its own account, during a Blackout Period, the Stockholder and its Subsidiaries shall have the right to exercise its rights under Section 5.4 with respect to such registration, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement on the exercise of such rights.

If the Company at any time proposes or is required to register any Common Stock under the Securities Act on its behalf or on behalf of any of its stockholders (other than pursuant to Section 5.1 or Section 5.2), on a form and in a manner that would permit registration of the Registrable Securities (other than in connection with dividend reinvestment plans, rights offerings or a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any similar successor form, or 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 Registrable Securities), the Company shall give the Stockholder written notice of its intent to do so not less than 15 Business Days prior to the contemplated filing date for such registration statement or prospectus supplement (provided that, in the case of a block trade pursuant to an existing shelf registration statement, only two Business Days’ notice shall be required). Upon the written request of the Stockholder (a “Piggy-Back Request”), given within five Business Days (or on the next Business Day in the case of a block trade) following the time that the Stockholder was given any such written notice (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered on behalf of the Stockholder and its Affiliates) (the “Piggy-Back Securities”), the Company shall include in such registration statement (a “Piggy-Back Registration”), the number of Registrable Securities set forth in such Piggy-Back Request.

have reasonably advised the Company, the Stockholder, the Stockholder’s Subsidiary or any other holder of Common Stock intending to offer Common Stock in the offering (each, an “Other Holder”) in writing that, in its opinion, the inclusion in the registration statement of some or all of the Common Stock sought to be registered by the Company, the Stockholder, the Stockholder’s Subsidiary or the Other Holder(s) would adversely affect the price or success of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration statement such number of shares of Common Stock as the Company is advised can be sold in such offering without such an effect (the “Maximum Number”) as follows and in the following order of priority:

(a) if such registration is by the Company for its own account, (i) first, such number of shares of Common Stock as the Company proposes to register for its own account up to the Maximum Number, (ii) second, to the extent the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the registration pursuant to clause (i) is less than the Maximum Number, such number of Piggy-Back Securities as the Stockholder and its Subsidiaries propose to be included pursuant to a Piggy-Back Request up to the Maximum Number, and (iii) third, to the extent the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the registration pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) is less than the Maximum Number, such number of shares of Common Stock as all Other Holders request to be included for their own account, on a pro rata basis up to the Maximum Number; or

(vii) during the Effective Period, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as reasonably practicable, the withdrawal of any order enjoining or suspending the use or effectiveness of the registration statement or any post-effective

amendment thereto or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest date reasonably practicable;

(viii) use its reasonable best efforts to deliver promptly to the Stockholder and the managing underwriters, if any, copies of all correspondence between the SEC and the Company, its counsel or its auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the SEC or its staff with respect to the registration statement (except to the extent such correspondence is currently available via EDGAR) and permit the Stockholder to do such investigation with respect to information contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary for the purpose of conducting due diligence with respect to the Company;

(ix) use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as reasonably practicable, provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(x) use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Stockholder and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold under the registration statement in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Corporation not bearing any restrictive legends (other than as required by the Depository Trust Corporation) and not subject to any stop transfer order with any transfer agent, and cause such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriters, if any, may request in writing or, if not an Underwritten Offering, in accordance with the instructions of the Stockholder, in each case at least two Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities;

(xi) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as reasonably practicable, enter into an underwriting agreement customary in form and substance (taking into account the Company’s prior underwriting agreements) for firm commitment underwritten secondary offerings of the nature contemplated by the applicable registration statement, and which underwriting agreement shall include a customary lock-up provision with respect to the Company;

(xii) use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as reasonably practicable, obtain an opinion from the Company’s counsel and a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent public accountants (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants addressed to the underwriters in such Underwritten Offering of any Subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data is, or is required to be, included in the registration statement) in customary form and covering such matters as are customarily covered by such opinions and “cold comfort” letters in connection with an offering of the nature contemplated by the applicable registration statement;

(xiii) use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as reasonably practicable, provide to counsel to the Stockholder and to the managing underwriters, if any, and no later than the time of filing of any document which is to be incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus (after the initial filing of such registration statement), copies of any such document;

(xiv) use its reasonable best efforts to cause its officers to provide reasonable assistance with the marketing of the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement, including, at the recommendation or request of the underwriters, making themselves available to participate in a reasonable and customary number of “road-show,” “one-on-one,” and other customary marketing activities in such domestic locations as reasonably recommended by the underwriter(s);

(xv) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and any applicable national securities exchange; and

(xvi) comply with the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1) with respect to public information about the Company.

(b) In the event that the Company would be required, pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(vi)(E), to notify the Stockholder or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the happening of any event specified therein, the Company shall, subject to Section 5.3(b), as promptly as practicable, prepare and furnish to the Stockholder and to each such underwriter a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to the applicable registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of Registrable Securities that have been registered pursuant to this Agreement, such prospectus shall 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Stockholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(vi)(E), it shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to, cause any sales or placement agent or agents for the Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, to forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities until such Person shall have received copies of such amended or supplemented prospectus and, if so directed by the Company, to destroy all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in its possession of the prospectus (prior to such amendment or supplement) covering such Registrable Securities as soon as practicable after the Stockholder’s receipt of such notice.

(c) If requested by the managing underwriter for an Underwritten Offering (primary or secondary) of any equity securities of the Company, the Stockholder agrees not to effect any Transfer of any Registrable Securities, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and not to effect any Transfer of any other equity security of the Company (in each case, other than as part of such underwritten public offering) during the ten days prior to, and during the 90-day period (or such longer period as the Stockholder agrees with the underwriter of such offering) beginning on, the consummation of any underwritten public offering covered by a registration statement referred to in Section 5.4.

(d) The Stockholder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information regarding the Stockholder and its Subsidiaries and their intended method of distribution of the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in order for the Company to comply with its obligations under all applicable securities and other laws and to ensure that the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities conforms to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and such other information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Stockholder shall promptly notify the Company of any inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished by the Stockholder or its Subsidiary to the Company or of the occurrence of any event, in either case as a result of which any prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities contains or would contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any 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, and promptly furnish to the Company any additional information required to correct and update any previously furnished information or required so that such prospectus shall 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.

(e) In the case of any Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Takedown Prospectus Supplement or a Demand Registration Statement, or in the case of a registration under Section 5.4 if the Company has entered into an underwriting agreement in connection therewith, all shares of Common Stock to be included in such offering or registration, as the case may be, shall be subject to the applicable underwriting agreement and no Person may participate in such offering or registration unless such Person agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided therein and completes and executes all questionnaires, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents (other than powers of attorney) which must be executed in connection therewith, and provides such other information to the Company or the underwriter as may be reasonably requested to offer or register such Person’s Common Stock.

Section 5.8 Registration Expenses. In connection with registrations pursuant to Section 5.1, Section 5.2 or Section 5.4 hereof, the Company shall pay all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the registrations thereunder (the “Registration Expenses”), including all (a) registration and filing fees and expenses, including, without limitation, those related to filings with the SEC, (b) fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (c) reasonable processing, duplicating and printing expenses, including expenses of printing prospectuses reasonably requested by the Stockholder and its Subsidiaries, (d) of the Company’s internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties, the expense of any liability insurance and the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review), (e) fees and expenses incurred in connection with listing the Registrable Securities for trading on a national securities exchange, (f) fees and expenses in connection with the preparation of the registration statement and related documents covering the Registrable Securities, (g) fees and expenses, if any, incurred with respect to any filing with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., (h) documented out-of-pocket expenses of the underwriter(s) incurred with the approval of the Company, (i) fees and expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Company

and fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including, without limitation, the expenses of any comfort letters or costs associated with the delivery by independent certified public accountants of a comfort letter or comfort letters requested), (j) fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration, and (k) reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one firm acting as counsel to the Stockholder, which fees and expenses shall not exceed $500,000 aggregated for all registrations effected pursuant to this Agreement. Other than as provided in the foregoing sentence, the Company shall have no obligation to pay any out-of-pocket expenses of the stockholders of the Company relating to the registrations effected pursuant to this Agreement. The obligation of the Company to bear the expenses described in this Section 5.8 and to pay or reimburse the Stockholder and its Subsidiaries for the expenses described in this Section 5.8 shall apply irrespective of whether any sales of Registrable Securities ultimately take place, other than if a Takedown Request or Demand Registration is revoked as set forth in Section 5.3(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the Stockholder and its Subsidiaries shall bear and pay all underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 5.9 Indemnification; Contribution.

(a) The Company shall, and it hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder, the Stockholder’s Subsidiaries and their controlling Persons, if any, in any offering or sale of the Registrable Securities, including pursuant to Section 5.1, Section 5.2 or Section 5.4, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened) in respect thereof and expenses (including reasonable actual out-of-pocket fees of counsel) (collectively, “Claims”) to which each such indemnified party may become subject, insofar as such Claims (including any amounts paid in settlement effected with the consent of the Company as provided herein), or actions or proceedings in respect thereof, arise out of, relate to, are in connection with, or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, or any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or arise out of, relate to, are in connection with, or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and the Company shall, and it hereby agrees to, reimburse periodically the Stockholder and its Subsidiaries for any actual and documented out-of-pocket legal or other actual and documented out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claims; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such Person in any such case to the extent that any such Claims arise out of, relate to, are in connection with, or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, or preliminary or final prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon information furnished to the Company by the Stockholder, any of its Subsidiaries, any underwriter or any Representative of the Stockholder, expressly for use therein, or by the Stockholder’s failure to furnish the Company, upon request, with the information with respect to the Stockholder or its Subsidiaries, or any underwriter or Representative of the Stockholder, or the Stockholder’s or its Subsidiary’s intended method of distribution, that is the subject of the untrue statement or omission.

(b) The Stockholder shall, and hereby agrees to, (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, employees and controlling Persons, if any, and each underwriter, its partners, officers, directors, employees and controlling Persons, if any, in any offering or sale of Registrable Securities against any Claims to which each such indemnified party may become subject, insofar as such Claims (including any amounts paid in settlement as provided herein), or actions or proceedings in respect thereof, arise out of, relate to, are in connection with, or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, or any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or arise out of, relate to, are in connection with, or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Stockholder expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company for any actual and documented out-of-pocket legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.

(c) The Stockholder and the Company agree that if, for any reason, the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 5.9(a) or Section 5.9(b) are unavailable to or are insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Claims referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Claims in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, with respect to the applicable offering of securities. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. If, however, the allocation in the first sentence of this Section 5.9(c) is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative fault, but also the relative benefits of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 5.9(c) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentences of this Section 5.9(c). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Claims referred to above shall be deemed to include (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.10) any actual and documented out-of-pocket legal or other out-of-pocket fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action, proceeding or claim. 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.

Section 5.10 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If an indemnified party shall desire to assert any claim for indemnification provided for under Section 5.9 in respect of, arising out of or involving a Claim against the indemnified party, such indemnified party shall notify the Company or the Stockholder, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”), in writing of such Claim, the amount or the estimated amount sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Claim), any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”) promptly after receipt by such indemnified party of written notice of the Claim; provided, however, that failure to provide a Claim Notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The indemnified party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Claim; provided, however, that failure to provide any such copies shall not affect the indemnification obligations provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) If a Claim is made against an indemnified party, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses and acknowledges without reservation its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party therefore, to assume the defense thereof with separate counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the indemnified party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless the Claim involves potential conflicts of interest or substantially different defenses for the indemnified party and the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense (except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence), separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the actual and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel reasonably incurred by the indemnified party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof and as otherwise contemplated by the two immediately preceding sentences. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Claim, the other party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Claim, and use of reasonable efforts to make employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Claim, the indemnified party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent. The Indemnifying Party may pay, settle or compromise a Claim without the written consent of the indemnified party, so long as such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability in respect of such Claim, (ii) does not subject the indemnified party to any injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, and (iii) does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

Section 5.11 Lock-Up Period Transferees. In the event of a Transfer of Purchaser Shares to a Lock-Up Period Transferee, the Company shall, concurrently with such Transfer, enter into a reasonable and customary registration rights agreement with such Lock-Up Period Transferee upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Article V.

ARTICLE VI

PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS

Section 6.1 Pre-Emptive Rights.

(a) The Stockholder and/or any one or more of its Subsidiaries designated by the Stockholder shall have the option and right (but not the obligation) to participate in any Equity Issuance by purchasing up to the Stockholder’s and such Subsidiaries’ Pro Rata Portion of such Equity Issuance at the Equity Issuance Price and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as offered to other investors in the Equity Issuance. The Company shall take any and all actions, or cause such actions to be taken, as are necessary or appropriate to allow the Stockholder and/or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to participate fully in every Equity Issuance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, subject to compliance with applicable law and the listing standards of the NYSE or such other stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed.

(b) In the event the Company proposes to undertake an Equity Issuance, the Company shall, at least 15 Business Days (or in the case of an Equity Issuance pursuant to an underwritten offering, two Business Days) prior to the proposed Equity Issuance, give the Stockholder written notice of its intention, describing the type of equity interests, the price at which such securities are proposed to be issued (or, in the case of an underwritten or a privately placed offering in which the price is not known at the time the notice is given, the method of determining the price and an estimate thereof), and the general terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to effect the Equity Issuance. The Stockholder and its Subsidiaries shall have 15 Business Days (or in the case of an Equity Issuance pursuant to an underwritten offering, two Business Days) from the date the Stockholder receives notice of the proposed Equity Issuance to elect to purchase their Pro Rata Portion of such Equity Issuance for the consideration and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of equity interests to be so purchased.

(c) In the event that neither the Stockholder nor any of its Subsidiaries exercise the right set forth in Section 6.1(b) above within the applicable period set forth therein, the Company shall have 90 days thereafter to sell the equity interests in respect of which such pre-emptive rights were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to the Stockholder (and in no event at a price less than the price specified in such notice). In the event that the Company has not sold the equity interests within such 90-day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any equity interests without first again offering the applicable Pro Rata Portion of such securities to the Stockholder and its Subsidiaries in the manner provided in this Section 6.1.

ARTICLE VII

WAIVER OF CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES

Section 7.1 Waiver of Corporate Opportunities. The Company acknowledges that the Stockholder and its Affiliates own and/or manage other businesses, including businesses that may compete with the Company or the other stockholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, without any accountability to the Company or any stockholder by virtue of this Agreement:

(a) the Stockholder and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, stockholders, agents and employees (collectively, the “Corporate Opportunities Group”), shall not in any way be prohibited or restricted from engaging or investing in, independently or with others, any business opportunity of any type or description;

(b) subject to the proviso in Section 7.1(c), the Company shall not have any right in or to such other business opportunities of the Stockholder or any Person in the Corporate Opportunities Group or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom; and

(c) neither the Stockholder nor any Person in the Corporate Opportunities Group shall be obligated to present any business opportunity to the Company or any other stockholder, even if the opportunity is of the character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company, or if presented to any other stockholder, could be taken by such stockholder; provided that with respect to any business opportunity that is offered in writing (including by e-mail or other electronic transmission) to any officer or director of the Company (or any of its Affiliates) who is also an officer, director or employee of Stockholder (or any of its Affiliates) which business opportunity is expressly offered to such individual in (and as a direct result of) his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company (or any of its Affiliates), such business opportunity shall not be taken by Stockholder (or its Affiliate) without the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1 Injunctive Relief. Each party hereto acknowledges that it would be impossible to determine the amount of damages that would result from any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and that the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of such provisions would likely be inadequate and, accordingly, agrees that the other party shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies which it may have, be entitled to such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction to compel specific performance of, or restrain any party from violating, any of such provisions. In connection with any action or proceeding for injunctive relief, each party hereto hereby waives the claim or defense that a remedy at law alone is adequate and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to have each provision of this Agreement specifically enforced against it, without the necessity of posting bond or other security against it, and consents to the entry of injunctive relief against it enjoining or restraining any breach or threatened breach of such provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, legal representatives and permitted assigns. Neither party may directly or indirectly assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party other than (a) in connection with a change in control of the Stockholder or to any successor of the Company; and (b) by the Stockholder in whole or in part, to one or more of its Subsidiaries, so long as the Stockholder remains liable for its obligations as contained herein. Any purported direct or indirect assignment in violation of this Section 8.2 shall be null and void ab initio.

Section 8.3 Amendments; Waiver. No amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement, and no waiver hereunder, and no extension of time for the performance of any of the obligations hereunder, shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by (a) the Company where enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge, waiver or extension is sought against the Company or (b) the Stockholder where enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge, waiver or extension is sought against the Stockholder. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. The waiver by the Company or the Stockholder of a breach of, or a default under, any of the provisions hereof, or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall not be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and none is exclusive of any other, or of any rights or remedies that any party may otherwise have at law or in equity.

Section 8.4 Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party to the others shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, or by e-mail:
