*Capitalized terms have the meaning ascribed to such terms in this Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement. This Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement contains a number of representations and warranties which the Sellers and the Purchaser have made to each other. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the Sellers and the Purchaser have exchanged in connection with signing the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement. The confidential disclosure schedules may contain information that has been included in the general prior public disclosures of the Company, as well as additional non-public information. Such information may modify, qualify and create exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement. In addition, these representations and warranties were made as of the date of the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement. Information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may have changed since the date of the Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the public disclosures of the Company. Moreover, representations and warranties are frequently utilized in purchase agreements as a means of allocating risks, both known and unknown, rather than to make affirmative factual claims or statements. Accordingly, ONLY THE PARTIES TO THIS PREFERRED SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT SHOULD RELY ON THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AS CURRENT CHARACTERIZATIONS OF FACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, ITS SUBSIDIARIES, THE SELLERS, AND THE PURCHASERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES.

and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement and only as and to the extent disclosed therein (but excluding any risk factor disclosures contained under the heading “Risk Factors,” any disclosure of risks included in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or any other statements that are similarly forward-looking), each Seller hereby represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, to the Purchaser as follows:

3.1 Organization and Power.

(a) Each of the Sellers and their relevant Security Subsidiary, the Company and the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization. Each of the Sellers and their relevant Security Subsidiary, the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries has the requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its respective business as it is presently being conducted and to own, lease or operate its respective properties and assets, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each of the Sellers and their relevant Security Subsidiary, the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation (or other legal entity) in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The organizational or governing documents of the Sellers and their relevant Security Subsidiary, the Company and each of the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries are in full force and effect. Neither the Sellers, their relevant Security Subsidiary, the Company nor any Significant Subsidiary of the Company is in violation of its organizational or governing documents.

(c) On or prior to the date hereof, the Sellers have delivered or made available to the Purchaser true, accurate and complete copies of the organizational or similar governing documents of each Security Subsidiary, as amended through the date of this Agreement.

3.2 Capitalization.

(a) As of the date of this Agreement, the authorized shares of capital stock of the Company consist of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”). As of the close of business on March 17, 2014 (the “Capitalization Date”), (i) 145,613,286 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding, (ii) 4,306,309 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance under the Company Stock Plans, (iii) 394,240 shares of Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, including 280,000 shares of Series A Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and 114,240 shares of Series A-2 Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “2011 Preferred Stock”), and (iv) zero shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock were held by the Company as treasury shares. As of the date of this Agreement, the Sellers and their Affiliates beneficially own, in the aggregate, 73,891,737 shares of Common Stock and no

shares of Preferred Stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive or similar rights. Since the Capitalization Date, the Company has not sold or issued or repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired any shares of the Company’s capital stock (other than issuances pursuant to the exercise of any Company Option or vesting of any share unit award that had been granted under any Company Stock Plan, or repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions pursuant to agreements contemplated by a Company Stock Plan). No Subsidiary of the Company owns any Equity Securities of the Company.

(b) As of the Capitalization Date, with respect to the Company Stock Plans, (i) there were 4,763,010 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding Company Options to acquire shares of Common Stock, such outstanding Company Options having a weighted average exercise price per share as of the Capitalization Date of $8.14, (ii) there were 21,645 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the vesting of outstanding share award units, and (iii) 4,306,309 additional shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance for future grants pursuant to the Company Stock Plans.

Such Seller Party, on an individual basis, does not intend to and does not believe that it will incur debts or liabilities that will be beyond its respective ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature. The amount of contingent liabilities of such Seller Party at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that would be reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

Upon their respective execution by the Purchaser and the other parties thereto and assuming that they constitute legal and binding agreements of the Sellers, this Agreement and any applicable Ancillary Agreement will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (a) may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally, and (b) is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at Law).

4.6 Purchase Entirely for Own Account.

The Purchaser has no present agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation or commitment providing for the disposition of the Preferred Securities (and following each Securities Exchange, the Company Shares).

4.7 Investor Status. The Purchaser certifies and represents to the Sellers that the Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to receive information from, and to ask questions of and receive answers from the management of, the Sellers, the Security Subsidiaries, Company and its Subsidiaries concerning this investment so as to allow it to make an informed investment decision prior to its investment and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Security Subsidiaries and the Company so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Security Subsidiaries and the Company.

4.8 Securities Not Registered.

(a) The Purchaser understands that neither the Preferred Securities nor the Company Shares have been approved or disapproved by the SEC or by any state securities commission nor have the Preferred Securities and the Company Shares been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of their issuance by the Security Subsidiaries or the Company, as applicable, in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and that the Preferred Securities and following each Securities Exchange the Company Shares must continue to be held by the Purchaser unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration. The Purchaser understands that the exemptions from registration afforded by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) (the provisions of which are known to it) depend on the satisfaction of various conditions, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts.

(b) It is understood that the Preferred Securities and any securities issued in respect thereof or in exchange therefor (including the Company Shares) may bear one or all of the legends set forth in Section 8.

The Seller Information may be indicative of a value of the Preferred Securities (taking into account the ability to Exchange) that is substantially different from the Preferred Security Purchase Price to be paid by the Purchaser to the Sellers in the transaction contemplated hereby. The Purchaser expressly waives and releases the Sellers from any and all claims and liabilities arising from the Sellers’ failure to disclose, or the Purchaser’s failure to obtain and review, the Seller Information, and the Purchaser agrees to make no claim against the Sellers in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby relating to the Sellers’ failure to disclose, or the Purchaser’s failure to obtain and review, such Seller Information; provided, however, the Sellers expressly acknowledge and agree that the foregoing shall not prevent Purchaser from bringing any claim for (i) indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1 or (ii) intentional fraud. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Sellers are relying on the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4.12 in engaging in the transactions contemplated hereby, and would not engage in such transactions in the absence of such representations and warranties.

(ii) each of the representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific date, in which case each such representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date);

(iii) each Seller shall have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by it under this Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date;

(iv) no Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred since the date of this Agreement that is continuing.

(b) The obligations of the Sellers to consummate the transactions to be consummated at the Closing, and to sell the Preferred Securities pursuant to this Agreement, are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(i) each of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific date, in which case each such representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date);

(ii) the Purchaser shall have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by it under this Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date; and

(iii) no Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred since the date of this Agreement that is continuing.

7. Transfer Restrictions.

(a) The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Preferred Securities (and, following each Securities Exchange, the Company Shares) may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (a) in a transaction not involving a public offering, (b) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder (if available), (c) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (d) to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (e) to any Affiliate of the Purchaser (provided such

Person is an institutional investor); in each case, in accordance with any applicable state and federal securities laws; provided that as a condition precedent to a transfer of any the Preferred Securities (and, following each Securities Exchange, the Company Shares) to an Affiliate of the Purchaser pursuant to clause (e), any such Affiliate shall assume, on a several and not joint basis, all then continuing obligations of the Purchaser hereunder pursuant to a written agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company. Any purported transfer of Company Shares other than in compliance with the terms hereof shall be void ab initio.

(b) The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the United States securities law restricts the activities of persons in possession of Material (as defined under applicable federal and state securities laws regulations, and interpretations thereof) non-public information about the Company and its Subsidiaries and restrict the communication of such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information.

(c) The Sellers agree not to sell, pledge, dispose of or otherwise transfer any of the Company Shares or any rights relating to the Company Shares, except (i) to the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates in accordance with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or (ii) at the direction of, or with the prior written consent of, the Purchaser, in each case subject to applicable Law.

8. Legends; Securities Act Compliance. Each certificate (or electronic book entry form) representing the Preferred Securities (and, following each Securities Exchange, the Company Shares) will bear a legend conspicuously thereon to the following effect:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (OR ELECTRONIC BOOK ENTRY FORM) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THE SAME ARE REGISTERED AND QUALIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SAID ACT AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

The Purchaser acknowledges that before the foregoing legend is removed from any certificate (or electronic book entry form) representing the Preferred Securities or the Company Shares, it shall be required to deliver such instructions, certificates and opinions of counsel as the Company may reasonably request.

9. Indemnification; Survival.

9.1 Sellers Indemnification. Each Seller, severally and not jointly, shall defend, indemnify, exonerate and hold free and harmless the Purchaser and its Affiliates and

their respective directors, officers and employees (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses actually incurred by such Indemnified Parties that arise out of, or result from: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of such Seller’s representations or warranties in this Agreement, (ii) such Seller’s breach of its agreements or covenants in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (iii) any violation of the Sellers of the terms of the Preferred Securities.

9.2 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive until 5:00 p.m. EDT on the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the Closing, other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.10 and 3.14 (the “Fundamental Representations”) which shall survive indefinitely (the “Survival Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, all other covenants, agreements and obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive indefinitely (unless a different period is specifically provided for pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement expressly relating thereto).

9.3 Purchaser Indemnification. The Purchaser shall defend, indemnify, exonerate and hold free and harmless each Seller and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers and employees (each a “Seller Indemnified Party“ and collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses actually incurred by such Seller Indemnified Parties that arise out of, or result from: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of the Purchaser’s representations or warranties in this Agreement or (ii) the Purchaser’s breach of its agreements or covenants in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

9.4 Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no indemnification claims for Losses shall be asserted by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 9.1 or by the Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 9.3 unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses that would otherwise be payable under Section 9.1 or Section 9.3, as applicable, exceeds $2,000,000 (the “Basket Amount”), whereupon the Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive only amounts for Losses in excess of the Basket Amount and (ii) the aggregate liability of any Seller or the Purchaser for Losses under Section 9.1 or Section 9.3, as applicable, shall in no event exceed, in the case of a Seller, the applicable Preferred Security Purchase Price allocated on Annex C to such Seller, or, in the case of the Purchaser, the aggregate Preferred Security Purchase Price; provided that the limitations in clause (i) of this Section 9.4 shall not apply to the breach of any Fundamental Representation.

9.5 Procedures. A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery by such Indemnified Party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 9 unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify such party. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail such claim. In case any such action, suit, claim or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and conduct the

defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party unless (i) such claim seeks remedies, in addition to or other than, monetary damages that are reasonably likely to be awarded, (ii) such claim involves a criminal proceeding or (iii) counsel to the Indemnified Party advises such Indemnifying Party in writing that such claim involves a conflict of interest that would reasonably be expected to make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party. If any one of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) applies, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (except that the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the legal fees and expenses of one law firm for all Indemnified Parties, taken together with respect to any single action or group of related actions, other than local counsel). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim, the Indemnified Party shall nevertheless be entitled to hire, at its own expense, separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof; provided, that all Indemnified Parties shall thereafter deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the claim, and each Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim. Such reasonable cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding affected without its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party further agrees that it will not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in any pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought or may be hereunder unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding and is solely for monetary damages.

9.6 Additional Limitations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, “Losses” shall not include (i) any Losses to the extent such Losses could not have been reasonably foreseen by the parties as of the Closing, and (ii) punitive damages, except to the extent payable by an Indemnified Party to a third party. No party hereto shall be obligated to indemnify any other Person with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or condition specifically waived in writing by any other party on or prior to the Closing.

9.7 Exclusive Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Section 9 and Section 11.6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of parties under this Agreement following the Closing for any and all breaches or alleged breaches of any representations or warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9 shall not prevent the parties from obtaining specific performance or other non-monetary remedies in equity or at Law pursuant to Section 11.6 of this Agreement and shall not limit other remedies that may be available to the parties under the Registration Rights Agreement or any other agreement.

10. Termination.

10.1 Conditions of Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement may be terminated at any time before the Closing by (i) mutual written agreement of the Purchaser and the Sellers, (ii) the Purchaser if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of any Seller, which breach, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in the failure of any conditions set forth in Section 6, or (iii) either party, if the Closing has not occurred on or before the sixth Business Day following the date hereof, at 6:00 p.m. (in New York, New York) (provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(iii) shall not be available to any party whose breach of this Agreement primarily results in or primarily causes the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated prior by such date and time).

10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, this Agreement shall become null and void and have no further effect, with no liability on the part of any Seller or the Purchaser, or their directors, partners, members, employees, affiliates, officers, stockholders or agents or other representatives, with respect to this Agreement, except for the terms of this Section 10.2 and Section 11 (Miscellaneous Provisions), which shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11. Miscellaneous Provisions.

11.1 Public Statements or Releases. Neither the Purchaser nor any Seller shall make any public release or announcement with respect to the existence or terms of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions provided for herein or therein without the prior approval of the other parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11.1 shall prevent any party from making any public release required (in the exercise of its reasonable judgment) in order to satisfy its obligations under Law or under the rules or regulations of the SEC or any United States national securities exchange, in which case the party or parties, as applicable, required to make the release or announcement shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, allow the other party or parties, as applicable, reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

11.2 Interpretation. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and section and subsection references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not limit or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof” and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, will be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement. The meanings given to terms defined herein will be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. All matters to be agreed to by any party hereto must be agreed to in writing by such party unless otherwise indicated herein. Except as specified

otherwise herein, references to agreements, policies, standards, guidelines or instruments, or to statutes or regulations, are to such agreements, policies, standards, guidelines or instruments, or statutes or regulations, as amended or supplemented from time to time (or to successors thereto). All references herein to the Subsidiaries of a Person shall be deemed to include all direct and indirect Subsidiaries of such Person, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

11.3 Notices. All notices, requests, consents, and other communications under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Escrow Agreement) shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (a) three (3) Business Days after being sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid (b) one (1) Business Day after being sent via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service guaranteeing next business day delivery, (c) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or (d) if by facsimile or email, upon written confirmation of receipt, in each case to the intended recipient as set forth below:

Any party may change the address to which notices, requests, consents or other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other parties notice in the manner set forth in this Section 11.3.

11.4 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

11.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably (i) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding brought by any party hereto against arising out of or based upon this Agreement may be instituted in any United States federal court or New York State court located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York (a “New York Court”), (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding and (iii) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of a New York Court in any such suit, action or proceeding.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY

SELLER OR THE PURCHASER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

11.6 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and that irreparable damages for which money damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements in accordance with their respective specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled, at law or in equity; and the parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or other security in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (x) either party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

11.7 Delays or Omissions; Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to a party upon any breach or default of another party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or be construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or as a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party or parties hereto to any waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party or parties, as applicable. Any delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

11.8 Fees; Expenses.

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 11.8 or in any Ancillary Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the party or parties, as applicable, incurring such expenses whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated; provided, that the Purchaser shall be responsible for fifty percent of the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent and the Sellers shall be jointly and severally responsible for the other fifty percent of the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent, in each case until the first anniversary of the Closing and thereafter the Purchaser shall be responsible for one-hundred percent of the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent.

(b) The Sellers shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer Tax payable in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements,

including in respect of the sale of the Preferred Securities at the Closing and in connection with the consummation of any Exchange.

(c) Each party shall pay for any filing fees associated with any filings made by it in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

11.9 Assignment. None of the parties may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, provided, however, that the Purchaser may assign its right and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of the Purchaser without the prior written consent of any Seller; provided, further, that as a condition precedent to such assignment (x) any such Affiliate shall assume, on a several and not joint basis, all then continuing obligations of the Purchaser hereunder pursuant to a written agreement reasonably acceptable to the Sellers, and (y) no assignment and assumption shall relieve the Purchaser from any liability hereunder; provided, further, that any assignment to an Affiliate shall only be effective for so long as such Person remains an Affiliate of the Purchaser and the rights assigned to such Person shall cease to be of further force and effect when such Person ceases to be an Affiliate of the Purchaser. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment other than in compliance with the terms hereof shall be void ab initio.

11.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 9 (with respect to which all Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries), this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements do not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any Person that is not a party hereto or thereto nor create or establish any third party beneficiary hereto or thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, the representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or electronic transmission) in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute a single instrument.

11.12 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Disclosure Schedule and the Annexes and Exhibits hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto respecting the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, negotiations, understandings, representations and statements respecting the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral. No modification, alteration, waiver or change in any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon

the parties hereto unless made in writing and duly executed by the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand.

11.13 Freedom to Pursue Opportunities. Each of the parties hereto expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Purchaser has the right to, and shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise) not to, directly or indirectly engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including those deemed to be competing with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (ii) in the event that the Purchaser acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter (other than to the extent knowledge of such transaction or matter was acquired by such Person solely in their capacity as a director or board observer) that may be a corporate opportunity for each of the Company and the Purchaser, such Person shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be liable to the Company or its Affiliates for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that the Purchaser, directly or indirectly, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person, or does not present such opportunity to the Company.

11.14 Nature of Sellers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Seller under this Agreement and each applicable Ancillary Agreement are several (in proportion to the number of Company Shares being delivered to the Escrow Agent by such Seller) and not joint with the obligations of any other Seller, and no Seller shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Seller under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, and no action taken by any Seller pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Sellers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Sellers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each applicable Ancillary Agreement. Each Seller confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby and has been represented by separate counsel. All rights, powers and remedies provided to the Sellers under this Agreement and each applicable Ancillary Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof and thereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative or exclusive, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other rights, powers or remedies by such party or any other party.

11.15 No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Owners, Etc. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, shareholder, managing member, member, general partner, limited partner, principal or other agent of any of the named parties hereto shall have any liability for any obligations of such party under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the obligations of such party, under this Agreement. The Purchaser and the Sellers each hereby waive and release all such liability. This waiver and release is a material inducement to each party’s entry into this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.08(a), a Member may agree in writing to be obligated personally for any or all of the liabilities of the Company; provided, however, that such obligation shall only arise if it is consented to in writing by such Member, and nothing in this Agreement shall constitute such consent.

1.10 Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall indemnify any person (each, an “Indemnitee”) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding brought by or against the Company or otherwise, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including, without limitation, any action by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was a Member or an officer or employee of the Company, or at the relevant time, being or having been such a Member or officer or employee, that such Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a partner, director, officer or trustee of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be provided to or on behalf of any Indemnitee if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such Indemnitee establishes that such Indemnitee's acts were fraudulent, grossly negligent or the result of willful malfeasance and, in each case, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated.

(b) The Company may, in the discretion of the Member, pay expenses incurred by any Indemnitee in defending any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 1.10(a) in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to this Section 1.10.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 1.10 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, determination of a Member or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 1.10 shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a Member, or an officer or employee of the Company (or other person indemnified hereunder) and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person.

1.11 Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or reduce the duties and/or liabilities of a Member or the Managing Member (in its capacity as such) otherwise existing at law or in equity (including under the Act), shall replace the other duties and liabilities of such Member or Managing Member (in its capacity as such) (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, no Member or Managing Member (in its capacity as such) shall have any fiduciary duties to any other Member or other Person bound by this Agreement, and each Member hereby disclaims, eliminates, and shall not be liable under any circumstances for,

any actual or claimed breach of any such duties of a Member, Managing Member (in its capacity as such) or authorized person within the meaning of the Act (or an agent of any of the foregoing). To the extent any individual serving as a Member, within the meaning of the Act or authorized person within the meaning of the Act (or as an agent of any of the foregoing) has any liabilities or duties at law or in equity, including fiduciary duties or any other standard of care, more expansive than those set forth in this Section 1.11, such liabilities and duties are hereby modified to the extent permitted under the Act to those set forth in the second sentence of this Section 1.11. Wherever in this Agreement a Person is empowered to take or make a decision, direction, consent, vote, determination, election, action or approval, whether in such Person’s capacity as a Member, Managing Member (in its capacity as such) or authorized person within the meaning of the Act, such Person is entitled to consider, favor and further such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests and the interests of its Affiliates, and has no duty or obligation to consider, favor or further any other interest of the Company, any subsidiary or any other Member or Person. This Section 1.11 shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(e) of the Act, no Member, Managing Member (in its capacity as such) or authorized person within the meaning of the Act shall be liable to the Company, any Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement for breach of fiduciary duties unless such Member, Managing Member (in its capacity as such) or authorized person within the meaning of the Act acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct.

2.06 Certificates; Unit Ledger. The Company may, but shall not be required to, issue certificates representing Units (“Certificated Units”).

The remedies in this Agreement shall be cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the Sellers and the Purchaser entered into that certain Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to deliver the Company Shares, along with duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank in respect of such Company Shares, to the Depositary to be held in escrow until released pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Sellers and the Purchaser have also entered into that certain Exchange Agreement, dated as of March [__], 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sellers and Purchaser agreed to the terms and conditions governing the exchange and related release of the Deposit (as defined below) held pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Sellers and the Purchaser desire to secure the services of the Depositary, and the Depositary is willing to provide such services, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Appointment of Depositary. The Sellers and the Purchaser hereby appoint Jefferies LLC as Depositary in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Depositary hereby accepts such appointment. The scope of the duties of the Depositary hereunder shall be limited to those expressly set forth herein and, for the avoidance of doubt, any expansion of such duties or additional or supplemental duties shall require the advance written consent of the Purchaser and the Sellers, acting jointly.

Section 2. Deposit into the Cash and Securities Deposit Account. At the Closing, the Sellers shall deposit with the Depositary one or more certificates (or, at such Sellers’ option, through delivery by electronic book entry form) representing the Company Shares (the "Deposit"), and which Deposit shall be held by the Depositary in escrow upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The foregoing Deposit, plus all interest, dividends and other distributions and payments thereon (“Proceeds”), less any funds distributed or paid in accordance with this Agreement shall be held by the Depositary in an account referred to herein as the “Deposit Account”. The Depositary shall have no duty to solicit the Deposit. The Sellers shall notify the Depositary in writing at or prior to the time when the

Deposit is sent to the Depositary pursuant to this Agreement. The Depositary shall have no liability for the Deposit sent to it that remains unclaimed and/or is returned if such written notice is not given.

Section 3. Investment of Cash Proceeds with Respect to the Deposit. During the term of this Agreement, the Depositary shall invest and reinvest any cash Proceeds in the following investment at the written direction of an Authorized Person (as hereinafter defined) of the Purchaser:

Money Market or Mutual Funds registered under the Investment Act of 1940, as directed by the Purchaser;

The Depositary shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest the cash Proceeds if deposited with the Depositary after 11:00 a.m. (E.T.) on such day of deposit. Instructions received after 11:00 a.m.(E.T.) will be treated as if received on the following Business Day. Neither the Depositary nor any Seller shall have any responsibility for any investment losses resulting from the investment, reinvestment or liquidation of the cash Proceeds. Any interest or other income received on such investment and reinvestment of the cash Proceeds shall become part of the cash Proceeds and any losses incurred on such investment and reinvestment of the cash Proceeds shall be debited against the Deposit Account. If a selection is not made and a written direction not given to the Depositary, the cash Proceeds shall remain uninvested with no liability for interest therein. It is agreed and understood that the entity serving as Depositary may earn fees associated with the investments outlined above in accordance with the terms of such investments. A selection of Money Market or Mutual Funds will be provided by the Depositary. In no event shall the Depositary be deemed an investment manager or adviser in respect of any selection of investments hereunder. It is understood and agreed that the Depositary or its affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Depositary’s economic self-interest for (1) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the investments, (2) using affiliates to effect transactions in certain investments and (3) effecting transactions in investments.

Section 4. Distribution of Deposit. The Depositary shall hold the Deposit in its possession and shall disburse and/or deliver the Deposit or any specified portion thereof only upon the delivery to the Depositary (with a copy to the Sellers for their information only) of a written release notice executed by an Authorized Person of the Purchaser (and no other Person), without further consent from the Sellers, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A (a “Deposit Release Notice”), which notice shall contain delivery instructions to the Depositary pursuant to which the Depositary shall promptly deliver the Deposit (and, in any event, within three Business Days) or any specified portion thereof in accordance with such Deposit Release Notice.

(for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account any voting limitations in respect of the outstanding Preferred Stock).

Section 9. The Depositary.

(a) The duties, responsibilities and obligations of Depositary shall be limited to those expressly set forth herein and no duties, responsibilities or obligations shall be inferred or implied against the Depositary.

(b) If at any time the Depositary is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process which in any way affects the Deposit (including but not limited to orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of the Deposit), the Depositary is authorized to comply therewith in any manner it or legal counsel of its own choosing reasonably deems appropriate; and if the Depositary complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process, Depositary shall not be liable to the Purchaser or the Sellers (except to the extent caused by the Depositary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) or to any other person or entity even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.

(c) The Depositary shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted or for any loss or injury resulting from its actions or its performance or lack of performance of its duties hereunder in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part.

(d) If any fees, expenses or costs are incurred by the Depositary or its counsel and the Depositary is entitled to payment and/or reimbursement under Section 6 of this Agreement and such amounts are not paid when due, the Depositary may reimburse itself therefor from any cash held in the Deposit and may sell, liquidate, convey or otherwise dispose of any investment in respect of the Deposit for such purpose, provided that the Depositary shall notify the Purchaser and the Sellers in writing at least 20 Business Days prior to effectuating any such sale, liquidation, conveyance or disposition and the Purchaser and the Sellers shall have the right during such 20 Business Days to cure any such past due payment obligations. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Depositary may in its sole discretion, acting in good faith, withhold from any distribution of any interest earned in respect of the cash Proceeds an amount it believes would, upon sale or liquidation, produce proceeds equal to any unpaid amounts to which the Depositary is entitled to hereunder.

(e) As security for the due and punctual performance of any and all of the Sellers’ and the Purchaser’s obligations to the Depositary hereunder, now or hereafter arising, the Sellers and the Purchaser hereby pledge, assign and grant to the Depositary a continuing security interest in, and a lien on, the Deposit and the Proceeds. The security interest of the Depositary shall at all times be valid, perfected and enforceable by the Depositary against the Sellers and the Purchaser and all third parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Depositary hereby acknowledges Purchaser’s security interest in the Deposit and the Proceeds pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of the same date hereof, by and among the Sellers and the Purchaser and that the Depositary is to hold the Deposit and the Proceeds for the benefit of the Purchaser, as gratuitous bailee. The Purchaser intends to file UCC financing statements with respect to the Deposit and the Proceeds.

(f) The Depositary may consult with outside legal counsel of its own choosing as to any matter relating to this Agreement, and the Depositary shall not incur any liability in acting in good faith in accordance with any advice from such counsel.

(g) The Depositary shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Depositary (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility), except to the extent caused by the Depositary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h) The Depositary shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof. The Depositary may act in conclusive reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give receipt or advice to make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

(i) In the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty hereunder or in any notice, instruction or other communication received by the Depositary hereunder, the Depositary may, in its sole discretion, refrain from taking any action other than to retain possession of the Deposit, unless the Depositary receives written instructions, signed by the Purchaser and the Sellers which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty.

(j) The Depositary does not have any interest in the Deposit deposited hereunder but is serving as escrow holder only and having only possession thereof. Any payments of income from the Deposit shall be subject to withholding regulations then in force with respect to United States taxes. The parties hereto agree that the Purchaser shall be treated as the owner of the Deposit Account. The Purchaser will provide the Depositary with appropriate W-9 forms for tax identification number certifications, or W-8 forms for non-resident alien certifications. It is understood that the Depositary shall be responsible for income reporting only with respect to income earned on the Deposit and will not be responsible for any other reporting.

(k) The Depositary shall provide to the Purchaser (with a copy to the Sellers for their information only) monthly statements identifying transactions, transfers or holdings of Deposit and each such statement shall be deemed to be correct and final upon receipt thereof by the Purchaser unless the Depositary is notified in writing by the Purchaser (with a copy to the Sellers for their information only) to the contrary within thirty (30) Business Days of the date of such statement.

Section 10. Miscellaneous. (a) This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to the principles of conflict of laws.

WHEREAS, the Purchaser and the Sellers entered into that certain Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Purchaser acquired the Preferred Securities from the Sellers, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein;

WHERES, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Sellers delivered to and deposited with the Escrow Agent one or more certificates (or, at such Sellers’ option, through delivery by electronic book entry form) representing the Company Shares; and

WHEREAS, the Purchaser and the Sellers desire to enter into this Agreement to provide for the exchange of the Preferred Securities for Company Shares and/or cash, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Purchase Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. The Exchange. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and compliance with applicable law, the Purchaser shall have the right from time to time (including on one or more occasions) to exchange all or a portion of the MF Preferred Securities with the Master Fund, all or a portion of the GOB Preferred Securities with Global Fund and all or a portion of the SSF Preferred Securities with the Special Situations Fund (each, an “Exchange”) for:

(b) the gross proceeds (net of any and all underwriting commissions paid to Jefferies LLC and any other fees and expenses incurred in connection with such Exchange not paid by the Company under the Registration Rights Agreement, and subject to Section 6(e)) resulting from the sale, transfer or other disposition (conducted in accordance with Section 4) of the number of Company Shares determined using the Securities Exchange Ratio (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3) (collectively, the “Securities Disposition”), plus all Proceeds received in respect of such Company Shares prior to the date of the Securities Disposition to the extent not previously distributed to the Purchaser in accordance with Section 5 and the Escrow Agreement (such exchange, the “Cash Exchange”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, each Securities Disposition and any Cash Exchange shall be subject to and conditioned upon any limitations or other restrictions applicable to the Purchaser under the Registration Rights Agreement and compliance with applicable law.

performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled, at law or in equity; and the parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or other security in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (x) either party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

(d) Delays or Omissions; Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to a party upon any breach or default of another party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or be construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or as a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party or parties hereto to any waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party or parties, as applicable. Any delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

(e) Fees and Expenses. All costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of legal counsel and advisors) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party hereto incurring such expenses, other than such out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Sellers in connection with the consummation of a Cash Exchange and not otherwise paid by the Company pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, which shall be for the account of and paid by the Purchaser.

(f) Assignment. None of the parties may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, provided, however, that the Purchaser may assign its right and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of the Purchaser without the prior written consent of any Seller; provided, further, that as a condition precedent to such assignment (x) any such Affiliate shall assume, on a several and not joint basis, all then continuing obligations of the Purchaser hereunder pursuant to a written agreement reasonably acceptable to the Sellers, and (y) no assignment and assumption shall relieve the Purchaser from any liability hereunder; provided, further, that any assignment to an Affiliate shall only be effective for so long as such Person remains an Affiliate of the Purchaser and the rights assigned to such Person shall cease to be of further force and effect when such Person ceases to be an Affiliate of the Purchaser. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment other than in compliance with the terms hereof shall be void ab initio.

(g) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any Person that is not a party hereto nor create or establish any third party beneficiary hereto.

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or electronic transmission) in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute a single instrument.

(i) Amendments. No modification, alteration, waiver or change in any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the parties hereto unless made in writing and duly executed by the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand.

(j) Nature of Sellers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Seller under this Agreement are several (in proportion to the number of Company Shares delivered to the Escrow Agent by such Seller on the date hereof) and not joint with the obligations of any other Seller, and no Seller shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Seller under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Seller pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Sellers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Sellers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Seller confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby and has been represented by separate counsel. All rights, powers and remedies provided to the Sellers under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative or exclusive, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other rights, powers or remedies by such party or any other party.

(k) No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Owners, Etc.. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, shareholder, managing member, member, general partner, limited partner, principal or other agent of any of the named parties hereto shall have any liability for any obligations of such party under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the obligations of such party, under this Agreement. The Purchaser and the Sellers each hereby waive and release all such liability. This waiver and release is a material inducement to each party’s entry into this Agreement.

AGREED FORM

FORM OF

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT dated March [__], 2014 (this “Agreement”) made by among HARBINGER CAPITAL PARTNERS MASTER FUND I, LTD., a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability, GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES BREAKAWAY LTD., a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability, HARBINGER CAPITAL PARTNERS SPECIAL SITUATIONS FUND, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (each, a “Pledgor” and, together, the “Pledgors”), and JEFFERIES LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (solely with respect to Section 6 hereof, the “Escrow Agent”) in favor of and for the benefit of LEUCADIA NATIONAL CORPORATION, a New York Corporation (the “Secured Party”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS.

(1) The Pledgors and the Secured Party have entered into a Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2014 (said agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Purchase Agreement”).

(2) Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. Further, unless otherwise defined in this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, terms defined in Article 8 or 9 of the UCC (as defined below) are used in this Agreement as such terms are defined in such Article 8 or 9. “UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware or the District of Columbia, as applicable with respect to the perfection or the effect of perfection or non-perfection or the priority of the security interest in any Collateral; provided that, if perfection or the effect of perfection or non-perfection or the priority of the security interest in any Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware or the District of Columbia, then “UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in such jurisdiction.

(3) Each Pledgor is the record and legal owner of the Company Shares of Harbinger Group Inc. (the “Company”) set forth in Schedule I hereto (as adjusted pursuant to the Purchase Agreement).

(4) The Pledgors have delivered their respective Company Shares to the Escrow Agent pursuant to and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

(5) In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Pledgors have agreed to grant the security interest contemplated by this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Secured Party to pay the Preferred Security Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement, each Pledgor hereby agrees with the Secured Party as follows:

Section 1. Grant of Security. Each Pledgor hereby grants to the Secured Party, a security interest in such Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Pledgor, wherever located, and whether now or hereafter existing or arising, (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(a) the Company Shares and the certificates (or electronic book entry form) representing the Company Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, are being held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement), and all interest, dividends and other distributions in respect of the Company Shares;

(b) any and all proceeds resulting from the sale or disposition of the Company Shares.

Section 2. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures, in the case of each Pledgor, the obligations of such Pledgor with respect to consummating each Exchange (the “Secured Obligations”).

Section 3. Voting Rights Dividends; Etc.

(a) So long as no Event of Default (as defined herein) shall have occurred and be continuing, each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral of such Pledgor or any part thereof for any purpose, subject to Section 5.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all cash or stock dividends and other distributions paid in respect of the Collateral received by any Pledgor shall be delivered by such Pledgor to the Escrow Agent to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all rights of each Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to ‎Section 3(a) shall, upon written notice to such Pledgor by the Secured Party shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party, which shall thereupon have the sole right to, subject to applicable Law, exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights.

An “Event of Default” shall mean, with respect to a Pledgor, an uncured material breach (for which notice has been given) by such Pledgor of the Purchase Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreement between the Pledgors and the Secured Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

Section 4. Remedies.

(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to a Pledgor, the Secured Party may exercise in respect of such Pledgor’s Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, but subject to any required insurance regulatory approvals, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and the Secured Party may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified below, but subject to any

required insurance regulatory approvals, sell such Pledgor’s Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of such Pledgor’s Collateral. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of such Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of Law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law, at least ten days’ notice to the relevant Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to a Pledgor, and the Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of such Pledgor’s Collateral, such Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Secured Party (which request may be made by the Secured Party in its sole discretion), it will, at its own expense:

(i) execute and deliver, and enforce its rights under the Registration Rights Agreement to cause the Company and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Secured Party, advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act and to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by Law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Secured Party, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto;

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the Collateral under all applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Collateral, as requested by the Secured Party;

(iii) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable Law; and

(iv) bear all costs and expenses, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, of carrying out its obligations under this Section 4.

The Pledgors further agree that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 4 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Party, that the Secured Party has no adequate remedy at Law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in Section 4 shall be specifically enforceable against each of the Pledgors, and each Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default with respect to such Pledgor has occurred.

Section 5. Delivery of Pledged Collateral. All certificates or instruments (including electronic book entry form) representing or evidencing the Collateral shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Purchase Agreement and Escrow Agreement and held on behalf of the Secured Party pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery or, as applicable, shall be accompanied by each Pledgor’s applicable endorsement, where necessary, or duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 4), the Secured Party shall have the right, without notice to any of the Pledgors but subject to compliance with applicable law, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the Collateral. In addition, Secured Party shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments (including electronic book entry form) representing or evidencing the Collateral for certificates or instruments (including electronic book entry form) of smaller or larger denominations.

Section 6. Perfection. Upon the filing of a UCC financing statement naming each Pledgor as “debtor”, naming Secured Party as “secured party” and describing the Collateral in the District of Columbia and the State of Delaware (as applicable), the security interests in the Collateral granted to Secured Party will constitute perfected security interests therein prior to all other Liens (subject to any rights in the Collateral of the Escrow Agent under Section 9(e) of the Escrow Agreement) securing the Secured Obligations. The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges the Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral and that the Escrow Agent is to hold the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Party, as gratuitous bailee.

Section 7. Release; Termination. Upon the consummation of an Exchange or termination of the Exchange Agreement, the security interest in the Collateral subject to such Exchange shall be automatically released.

Section 8. Conflicts and Inconsistency. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions hereunder and the provisions of the Purchase Agreement or Escrow Agreement, then, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, such provisions contained in either the Purchase Agreement or Escrow Agreement will prevail and the provisions of this Agreement will be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to eliminate such conflict or inconsistency.

Section 9. Severability. To the extent permitted by Law, if any court of a competent jurisdiction from which no appeal exists or is taken, determines any provision of the Agreement to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Section 10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier or other electronic transmission (including .pdf, .tif or other similar electronic format) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 11. Governing Law. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Law thereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably (i) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding brought by any party hereto against arising out of or based upon this Agreement may be instituted in any United States federal court or New York State court located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York (a “New York Court”), (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding and (iii) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of a New York Court in any such suit, action or proceeding.

Section 12. Nature of Seller’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Seller under this Agreement are several (in proportion to the number of Company Shares being delivered to the Escrow Agent by such Seller) and not joint with the obligations of any other Seller, and no Seller shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Seller under this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement.

Section 13. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Owners, Etc. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, shareholder, managing member, member, general partner, limited partner, principal or other agent of any of the named parties hereto shall have any liability for any obligations of such party under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the obligations of such party, under this Agreement. The parties hereto each hereby waive and release all such liability. This waiver and release is a material inducement to each party’s entry into this Agreement.

Form of Power of Attorney

See attached.

AGREED FORM

POWER OF ATTORNEY

NEW YORK STATUTORY SHORT FORM

CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL: Your Power of Attorney is an important document. As the “principal,” you give the person whom you choose (your “agent”) authority to spend your money and sell or dispose of your property during your lifetime without telling you. You do not lose your authority to act even though you have given your agent similar authority.

When your agent exercises this authority, he or she must act according to any instructions you have provided or, where there are no specific instructions, in your best interest. “Important Information for the Agent” at the end of this document describes your agent’s responsibilities.

Your agent can act on your behalf only after signing the Power of Attorney before a notary public.

You can request information from your agent at any time. If you are revoking a prior Power of Attorney by executing this Power of Attorney, you should provide written notice of the revocation to your prior agent(s) and to the financial institutions where your accounts are located.

You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at any time for any reason as long as you are of sound mind. If you are no longer of sound mind, a court can remove an agent for acting improperly.

Your agent cannot make health care decisions for you. You may execute a “Health Care Proxy” to do this.

The law governing Powers of Attorney is contained in the New York General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. This law is available at a law library, or online through the New York State Senate or Assembly websites, www.senate.state.ny.us or www.assembly.state.ny.us.

If there is anything about this document that you do not understand, you should ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.

DESIGNATION OF AGENT (THIS “POWER OF ATTORNEY”):

[Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. / Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P./Global Opportunities Breakaway Ltd.]1 (“we” or “us’) hereby designates each of Joseph A. Orlando, Michael J. Sharp, Andrew Whittaker and Joseph S. Steinberg, each of whose business address is c/o Leucadia National Corporation, 520 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022, each acting separately, as its agents for the purpose of selling, transferring, re-registering and/or otherwise taking action (collectively, the “Authorized Actions”) with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Harbinger Group Inc. set forth on Exhibit A hereto and defined as the “Company Shares” under the Purchase Agreement (the “Shares”) and in furtherance of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by that certain Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2014, by and among Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd., Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P., Global Opportunities Breakaway Ltd., and Leucadia National Corporation (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”). In connection with the foregoing, each agent authorized hereunder shall have authority to take any and all of the Authorized Actions solely to the extent consistent with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and each other applicable Ancillary Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) to:

(1) enter into an underwriting agreement with respect to the Shares and perform all obligations thereunder;

(2) give instructions and orders to any such underwriters or any escrow agent or transfer agent for the Shares;

(3) retain legal counsel and receive payment in respect of the Shares; and

(4) effectuate an Exchange under the Purchase Agreement and each applicable Ancillary Agreement thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Power of Attorney to the contrary, (i) nothing in this Power of Attorney shall create any rights for the benefit of any authorized agent or impose any obligations or liabilities on the undersigned other than those expressly provided for in the Purchase Agreement and each other Ancillary Agreement, and (ii) this Power of Attorney shall terminate forthwith upon the earlier of the termination of the Purchase Agreement and completion of all of the Exchanges under the Exchange Agreement (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement), in each case in accordance with the provisions thereof. Upon any such termination of this Power of Attorney, the authorized agents shall promptly provide written instructions to any third party to which they have given instructions based on the authority granted hereunder to cease and desist from further pursuing any Authorized Action or any other action previously authorized or initiated by or at the behest of such authorized agent pursuant to this Power of Attorney.

_______________________

1 NTD: POA to be broken out in to three separate POAs with one for each Seller.

This document shall not revoke any power of attorney previously executed by us for a specific or limited purpose, unless we have specified otherwise herein. It shall not revoke any power executed as part of a contract we signed or for the management of any bank or securities account. In order to revoke a prior power of attorney for a specific or limited purpose, we will execute a revocation specifically referring to the power to be revoked.

This Power of Attorney shall not be revoked by any subsequent power of attorney we may execute, unless such subsequent power specifically provides that it revokes this power by referring to the date of our execution of this document.

Whenever two or more powers of attorney are valid at the same time, the agents appointed on each shall act separately, unless specified differently in the documents.

This Power of Attorney is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the choice of law rules thereof which might apply the laws of any other jurisdiction.

(3) keep the principal’s property separate and distinct from any assets you own or control, unless otherwise permitted by law;

You may not use the principal’s assets to benefit yourself or give major gifts to yourself or anyone else unless the principal has specifically granted you that authority in this Power of Attorney or in a Statutory Major Gifts Rider attached to this Power of Attorney. If you have that authority, you must act according to any instructions of the principal or, where there are no such instructions, in the principal’s best interest. You may resign by giving written notice to the principal and to any co-agent, successor agent, monitor if one has been named in this document, or the principal’s guardian if one has been appointed. If there is anything about this document or your responsibilities that you do not understand, you should seek legal advice.

I, Keith Hladek, hereby certify that I am the Chief Financial Officer of each of (i) Harbinger Capital Partners LLC, as investment manager for the Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd., a Cayman corporation, (ii) Harbinger Capital Partners II LP, as investment manager of Global Opportunities Breakaway Ltd., a Cayman corporation, and (iii) Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, GP, LLC, as the general partner of Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (each such entity a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”), and that I am familiar with the properties, businesses, assets, finances and operations of the Funds and I am duly authorized to execute this certificate dated as of March [__], 2014 on behalf of each of the Funds pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) of that certain Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”; the terms defined therein, unless otherwise defined herein, being used herein as therein defined), entered into by and among the Funds and Leucadia National Corporation, a New York Corporation (the “Purchaser”).

I further certify, in my capacity as the Chief Financial Officer of each of the Funds and not in any personal capacity, that I am generally familiar with the properties, business and assets of the Funds and have carefully reviewed the Purchase Agreement and the contents of this Certificate and, in connection herewith, have reviewed such other documentation and information and have made such investigation and inquiries as I have deemed necessary and prudent therefor.

I understand that the Purchaser is relying on the truth and accuracy of this Certificate in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

I do hereby further certify, in my capacity as the Chief Financial Officer of the Funds and not in any personal capacity, that:

1. On the date hereof, before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the fair value of each Fund, on an individual basis, is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities, of such Fund individually;

2. On the date hereof, before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the present fair saleable value of the assets of each Fund, on an individual basis, is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Fund individually on its debts as they become absolute and matured;

3. On the date hereof, before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, no Fund is engaged in business or a transaction, and no Fund is about to engage in business or a transaction, for which its property would constitute unreasonably small capital;

4. On the date hereof, each Fund, on an individual basis, does not intend to and does not believe that it will incur debts or liabilities that will be beyond its ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature; and

5. The amount of contingent liabilities of each Fund at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that would reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, in his capacity as the Chief Financial Officer of the Funds and not in his personal capacity, has duly executed this Solvency Certificate as of the date first written above.
