ARTICLE II

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.01 Demand Registration.

2.1.1 Request for Registration.

(a) Commencing on the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “First Registrable Date”), any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to require New Parent to file from time to time a registration statement on Form S-1 or any successor thereto, Form S-3 or any successor thereto (“Form S-3”), or any other appropriate form under the Securities Act or Exchange Act for the registration of the resale of the Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration”), by delivering to New Parent written notice stating that such right is being exercised, naming, if applicable, the Holders whose Registrable Securities are to be included in such registration, specifying the number of each such Holder’s Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and, subject to Section 2.1.3 hereof, describing the intended method of distribution thereof (a “Demand Request”); provided, that, a Holder may make a Demand Request prior to, but within forty-five (45) days of, the First Registrable Date and in such event New Parent shall not be obligated to file the registration statement in respect of such Demand Registration prior to the First Registrable Date.

(b) Subject to Section 2.1.3, New Parent shall file the registration statement in respect of a Demand Registration as soon as practicable and, in any event, within forty-five (45) days after receiving a Demand Request (the “Required Filing Date”) and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the same to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable after such filing; provided, however, that New Parent shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1.1(a) within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration, other than a Shelf Registration pursuant to this Article II. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that New Parent issues any shares of New Parent Common Stock in connection with the Earn-out Payment and such shares are Registrable Securities and Holder or the Holders issue a Demand Request in connection with such Registrable Securities, the Required Filing Date shall be thirty (30) days after such issuance and the limitation on the number of Demand Registrations in any 180 day period shall not apply to such Demand Registration.

2.1.2 Shelf Registration.

(a) With respect to any Demand Registration, the Requesting Holders may require New Parent to effect a registration of the Registrable Securities under a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) (a “Shelf Registration”). To the extent New Parent is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) at the time any Demand Request is submitted, New Parent shall file an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) on Form S-3 in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act, which covers those Registrable Securities requested to be registered and which shall be deemed for all purposes a Shelf Registration. For the avoidance of doubt, the filing of a prospectus supplement to a prospectus

4

included as part of an effective Shelf Registration naming the Holder as a selling stockholder and registering the Registrable Securities specified in the applicable Demand Request shall be deemed to satisfy New Parent’s obligations with respect to the filing (and effectiveness in the case of an automatic shelf registration statement) of a registration statement pursuant to this Agreement. Any Shelf Registration shall provide for the resale of the New Parent Common Stock from time to time in the United States by and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to the Holder (including a direct sale to purchasers, a sale to or through brokers, dealers or agents, a sale over the internet, block trades, derivative transactions with third parties and other hedging transactions). New Parent shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holder thereof.

(b) At any time that a Shelf Registration is effective (subject to any contractual lock-up agreements then in effect), if a Holder delivers a notice to New Parent (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to effect an offering from any such registration statement (a “Shelf Offering”) of all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on such registration statement, whether such offering is underwritten or non-underwritten, and stating the number of its Registrable Securities to be included in the Shelf Offering, then the Company shall amend or supplement such Registration Statement and take such other reasonable actions, as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering.

2.1.3 Deferral of Filing. New Parent may defer the filing (but not the preparation) of a registration statement or prospectus supplement required by Section 2.01 in the event of a Blackout Period until the expiration of a Blackout Period. In order to defer the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.1.3, New Parent shall promptly (but in any event within ten (10) days), upon determining to seek such deferral, deliver to each Requesting Holder a certificate signed by an executive officer of New Parent stating that New Parent is deferring such filing pursuant to this Section 2.1.3 and a general statement of the reason for such deferral and an approximation of the anticipated delay. During any deferral pursuant to this Section 2.1.3, New Parent will use good faith efforts to limit the duration of any such deferral.

Section 2.02 SEC Form S-3. If available, New Parent shall cause Demand Registrations to be registered on Form S-3, and if New Parent is not then eligible under the Securities Act to use Form S-3, Demand Registrations shall be registered on the form for which New Parent then qualifies. New Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remain eligible to use Form S-3 (including, if applicable, an automatic shelf registration statement) and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remain a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) (and not to become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act)) during the period during which any automatic shelf registration statement is effective.

Section 2.03 Piggy-Back Registration. If New Parent proposes to register any New Parent Common Stock under the Securities Act for its own account or for the account of other Persons who are not Holders (other than a registration (a) on Form S-4 or S-8, (b) 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) in which the only New

5

Parent Common Stock being registered in New Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered) then New Parent will give written notice thereof to the Holders (a “Piggy-Back Notice”) as soon as practicable (but in no event less than three calendar days before the anticipated filing date or commencement date, as applicable) (a “Piggy-Back Transaction”). The Piggy-Back Notice will state the intended method of disposition of the securities in the Piggy-Back Transaction, and such notice will offer the Holders the opportunity to sell in such Piggy-Back Transaction such number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request. Any Holder may elect to include its Registrable Securities in such Piggy-Back Transaction by delivering written notice of such election (such notice including the number of shares of Registrable Securities the Holder desires to include) within three calendar days of receipt of the Piggy-Back Notice. New Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.03, to cause the managing underwriter, if any, of such Piggy-Back Transaction to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein to be included on the same terms and conditions as apply to any other securityholders. Such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through a Piggy-Back Transaction will enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriters selected for such transaction by New Parent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if the managing underwriters of a Piggy-Back Transaction advise New Parent and the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such offering in writing that based on prevailing market precedent and public investor expectations the number of securities requested to be included in the Piggy-Back Transaction exceeds the number of securities that can be sold therein without materially and adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, then the amount of securities to be offered will be reduced to a number that, in the written opinion of such managing underwriters can be sold without having such a material and adverse effect, and the securities to be included in such Piggy-Back Transaction will be allocated, (a) first, to New Parent, (b) second, to the Holders that have requested to participate in such Piggy-Back Transaction on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Holder, and (c) third, if there remains availability for additional New Parent Common Stock to be included in such Piggy-Back Transaction, to the holders of any other securities eligible for inclusion in such Piggy-Back Transaction (it being understood there are no such eligible securities as of the date of this Agreement). The rights in this Section 2.03 shall expire on June 17, 2029.

Section 2.04 Requested Underwritten Offering. Any Holder then able to effectuate a Demand Registration pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.1 or any Holder who has previously effectuated a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1.1 or any Holder then able to effectuate a Shelf Offering, in each case, shall have the option and right, exercisable by delivering written notice to New Parent of its intention to distribute Registrable Securities by means of an Underwritten Offering (an “Underwritten Offering Notice”), to require New Parent, pursuant to the terms of and subject to the limitations of this Agreement, to effectuate a distribution of any or all of its Registrable Securities by means of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a new Demand Registration or pursuant to an effective Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities (a “Requested Underwritten Offering”); provided, that if the Requested Underwritten Offering (i) is pursuant to a new Demand Registration, then the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Requested Underwritten Offering shall be reasonably expected to result in aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $75.0 million as of the date of such Underwritten Offering Notice, and (ii) is pursuant to a Shelf Offering, then the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Requested Underwritten Offering shall be reasonably expected to result in

6

aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $75.0 million as of the date of such Underwritten Offering Notice. The Underwritten Offering Notice must set forth the number of Registrable Securities that the Holder intends to include in such Requested Underwritten Offering. The managing underwriter of a Requested Underwritten Offering shall be designated and selected by the Holders initiating the Requested Underwritten Offering, subject to New Parent’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, New Parent is not obligated to effect more than three (3) Requested Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Agreement nor shall New Parent be obligated to effect a Requested Underwritten Offering that would launch within 90 days after the closing of a previous Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the case of a Requested Underwritten Offering or Demand Registration or Shelf Offering that is otherwise an Underwritten Offering, if the managing underwriters advise New Parent and the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Offering in writing that based on prevailing market precedent and public investor expectations the number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities that can be sold therein without materially and adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, then the amount of securities to be offered will be reduced to a number that, in the written opinion of such managing underwriters can be sold without having such a material and adverse effect, and the securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering will be allocated, (a) first, to the Holders that have requested to participate in such Underwritten Offering on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Holder, (b) second, to New Parent, and (c) third, if there remains availability for additional New Parent Common Stock to be included in such Underwritten Offering, to the holders of any other securities eligible for inclusion in such Underwritten Offering (it being understood there are no such eligible securities as of the date of this Agreement). In the case of an Underwritten Offering initiated in response to a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering (including a Requested Underwritten Offering), the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms shall be determined by the Holders included in the Demand Registration or Shelf Offering. The rights in this Section 2.04 shall expire on June 17, 2029.

Section 2.05 Registration Procedures. Whenever any Holder has requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, New Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration thereof as promptly as is practicable, and pursuant thereto New Parent will as expeditiously as possible:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on any appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, provided, however, that as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing such registration statement or any amendment thereto, New Parent will furnish to the selling Holders copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents prepared to be filed (including exhibits), and any such Holder shall have the opportunity reasonably to comment upon, or object to, the information contained therein and New Parent will make corrections reasonably requested by such Holder with respect to such information prior to New Parent filing any such registration statement or amendment; provided, further; that New Parent shall not file or make any amendment to any registration statement with respect to any Registrable Securities, or any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus used in connection therewith, that refers to a Holder by name, or otherwise identifies the Holder as the holder of any securities of New Parent, without the consent of the Holder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless and to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable Law;

7

Section 2.06 Suspension of Dispositions. New Parent shall be entitled, by providing written notice to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are registered under a registration statement pursuant hereto (a “Suspension Notice”), to require such Holders to suspend the use of the related prospectus for sale of Registrable Securities thereunder during any Blackout Period. Each Holder agrees by acquisition of any Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of any Suspension Notice, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus, or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by New Parent that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by New Parent, such Holder will deliver to New Parent all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. During any suspension of trading pursuant to this Section 2.06, New Parent will (a) use good faith efforts to limit the duration of any suspension period, (b) use reasonable best efforts to prepare and

10

file with the SEC such amendments and/or supplements to the applicable registration statement as may be reasonably necessary to update such registration statement and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the resale of all Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus related thereto, (c) not register any securities for sale by New Parent (other than in connection with a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8) or for resale by any other securityholders, and (d) suspend the usage of all other then-effective registrations statements and related prospectuses (other than in connection with a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 registering securities for sale by New Parent). In the event New Parent shall give any such Suspension Notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of registration statements set forth in Sections 2.05(b) and 2.05(c) hereof shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of the Suspension Notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus or the Advice. New Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts and take such actions as are reasonably necessary to render the Advice as promptly as practicable.

Section 2.07 Registration Expenses. All out-of-pocket fees and expenses incident to any registration hereunder, including, without limitation, New Parent’s performance of or compliance with this Article II, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws, printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses), messenger and delivery expenses, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with any listing of the Registrable Securities, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for New Parent and its independent certified public accountants and the fees and expenses of other Persons retained by New Parent (collectively, the “Registration Expenses”), will be borne by New Parent (unless paid by a security holder that is not a Holder for whose account the registration is being effected) whether or not any registration statement becomes effective; provided, however, that the Registration Expenses incurred by New Parent in connection with (i) the second Requested Underwritten Offering conducted pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be borne equally by New Parent and the Holders (on a pro rata basis among themselves based on the number of Registrable Securities being sold in the Requested Underwritten Offering) participating in such Requested Underwritten Offering and (ii) the third Requested Underwritten Offering conducted pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be borne by the Holders (on a pro rata basis among themselves based on the number of Registrable Securities being sold in the Requested Underwritten Offering) participating in such Requested Underwritten Offering. Any brokerage fees, commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred in connection with the sale of any Registrable Securities shall be borne by the applicable Holder.

Section 2.08 Indemnification.

11

alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement (including any document incorporated by reference therein or deemed incorporated by reference therein), prospectus, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon, arising out of, related to or resulting from any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, (c) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, and expense whatsoever, as incurred, based upon, arising out of, or relating to or resulting from any violation by New Parent of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to New Parent and relating to any action or inaction in connection with the related offering of Registrable Securities and (d) against any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) as may be reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon, arising out of, related to or resulting from any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, or such violation of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to New Parent, to the extent that any such expense or cost is not paid under subparagraph (a), (b) or (c) above; except insofar as any such statements are made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with information furnished in writing to New Parent by such seller or any Seller Affiliate for use therein. The reimbursements required by this Section 2.8.1 will be made by periodic payments during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred; provided that reimbursements shall not be required to be paid more frequently than once per calendar quarter.

2.8.2 In connection with any registration statement in which a seller of Registrable Securities is participating, each such seller will furnish to New Parent in writing such information and affidavits as New Parent reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each such seller will indemnify New Parent and each of its employees, advisors, agents, representatives, partners, officers and directors and each Person who controls New Parent (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and any agent or investment advisor thereof against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements except as limited by Section 2.8.3) resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement (including any document incorporated by reference therein or deemed incorporated by reference therein), prospectus, or any preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to New Parent by such seller or any of its Seller Affiliates specifically for inclusion in the registration statement; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify will be several, not joint and several, among such sellers of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such seller of Registrable Securities will be in proportion to, and will be limited to, the net amount received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement;

12

provided, further, however, that such seller of Registrable Securities shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that prior to the filing of any such registration statement or prospectus or amendment thereof or supplement thereto, such seller has furnished in writing to New Parent information expressly for use in such registration statement or prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading information previously furnished to New Parent.

2.8.3 Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights of such Person, except to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure) and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party as permitted hereunder, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions hereof, such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise the applicable claim unless (A) such settlement or compromise contains a full and unconditional release of the indemnified party or (B) the indemnified party otherwise consents in writing. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such additional counsel or counsels.

2.8.4 Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 2.8.1 or Section 2.8.2 are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, liabilities, or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the actions that resulted in the losses, claims, damages, liabilities 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 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 indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this

13

Section 2.8.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.8.4. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided in Section 2.8.3, defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.8.4, no Holder shall be required to contribute an amount greater than the dollar amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holder with respect to the sale of any Registrable Securities exceeds the amount of damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any and all untrue or alleged untrue statements of material fact or omissions or alleged omissions of material fact made in any registration statement (including any document incorporated by reference therein or deemed incorporated by reference therein), prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto related to such sale of Registrable Securities. 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. The Holders’ obligations in this Section 2.8.4 to contribute shall be several in proportion to the amount of Registrable Securities registered by them and not joint.

If indemnification is available under this Section 2.08, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Section 2.8.1 and Section 2.8.2 without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other equitable consideration provided for in this Section 2.8.4 subject, in the case of the Holders, to the limited dollar amounts set forth in Section 2.8.2.

2.8.5 The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities.

Section 2.09 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights of each Holder under this Agreement may be assigned to any Affiliated Transferee who acquires Registrable Securities and who agrees in writing to be subject to and bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.10 Rule 144. New Parent will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (or, if New Parent is not required to file such reports, will, upon the request of the Holders, make publicly available other information) and will take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell New Parent Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the reasonable request of any Holder, New Parent will deliver to such parties a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and will, at its expense, forthwith upon the request of any such Holder, deliver to such Holder a certificate, signed by New Parent’s principal financial officer, stating (i) New Parent’s name, address and telephone number (including area code), (ii) New Parent’s Internal Revenue Service identification number, (iii) New Parent’s SEC file number, (iv) the number of shares of each class of capital stock outstanding as

14

shown by the most recent report or statement published by New Parent, and (v) whether New Parent has filed the reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act for a period of at least ninety (90) days prior to the date of such certificate and in addition has filed the most recent annual report required to be filed thereunder.

Section 2.11 Preservation of Rights. New Parent hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, no registration rights in respect of any securities of New Parent (including any securities convertible into securities of New Parent) have been granted to any other Person and are currently in effect, or would come into effect due to the passage of time or the occurrence of any event, other than pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.12 Cooperation. During the period beginning on the date hereto and continuing through and including such date that is three (3) years following the date thereof, prior to undertaking a sale or series of related sales of shares of Seller’s New Parent Common Stock valued at $50,000,000 or more, Seller agrees to notify the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of New Parent prior to the consummation of any such sale or series of related sales.

ARTICLE III

TERMINATION

Section 3.01 Termination. The registration rights hereunder shall cease to apply to any particular Registrable Security when: (a) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Security shall have become effective under the Securities Act and such Registrable Security shall have been disposed of in accordance with such registration statement; (b) such Registrable Security shall have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision); (c) such Registrable Security shall have been otherwise transferred, new certificates for them not bearing a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by New Parent and subsequent public distribution of them would be exempt from registration under the Securities Act or any similar state law then in force; (d) such Registrable Security shall have ceased to be outstanding; or (e) such Registrable Security is eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision) without restriction (including with respect to manner of sale and volume limitations). New Parent shall promptly upon the request of any Holder confirm to such Holder the number of Registrable Securities then outstanding.

ARTICLE IV

(b) the restrictions contained in this Section 4.01 shall cease immediately if (x) New Parent enters into a definitive agreement to engage in, or makes a public announcement of an intention to engage in, a business combination, recapitalization or other transaction that would result in an acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any other Person or group of a majority of the voting securities or assets of New Parent or (y) any tender offer or exchange offer has been commenced for at least a majority of New Parent’s voting securities; provided that, in the event that such business combination, recapitalization or other transaction or tender or exchange offer is withdrawn, terminated or otherwise not consummated, each Holder will thereafter be subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 4.01 until the end of the Standstill Period, except with respect to any transaction that has been proposed by any Holder prior to the time such business combination, recapitalization or other transaction or tender or exchange offer is withdrawn, terminated or otherwise not consummated; and

(c) no Holder shall be prohibited from making any confidential, non-public proposal to New Parent, provided that such proposal is communicated solely to the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, of New Parent, is not reasonably intended to require New Parent to make public disclosure with respect to such proposal and is otherwise held confidential.

Section 5.02 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction; Specific Performance.

5.2.1 This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. In any action between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement: (a) each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Delaware; (b) if any such action is commenced in a state court, then, subject to applicable Law, no party shall object to the removal of such action to any federal court located in Delaware; and (c) each of the parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury.

18

5.2.2 The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 5.2.1 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or at law or in equity. Each party agrees that such party will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5.2.2 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 5.03 Further Assurances. The parties shall execute and deliver all documents, provide all information and take or refrain from taking such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 5.04 Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement and, as applicable, the other Transaction Documents, constitute the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original.

Section 5.05 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereto shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but, except as provided in Section 2.09 hereto, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations set forth herein shall be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving any Person, other than the parties hereto and their heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 5.06 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each party hereto shall bear its own expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

19

Section 5.07 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

Section 5.09 Waiver.

5.9.1 No failure on the part of any party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.

5.9.2 No party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
