4.01Validity. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability or similar actions, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.
4.02Brokers. There is no broker, investment banker, financial advisor, finder or other person which has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of the Purchaser who might be entitled to any fee or commission for which the Company will be liable in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
4.03Investment Representations and Warranties. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the offering and sale of the Securities has not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws and is being made in reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein.
4.04Acquisition for Own Account; No Control Intent. The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment and not with a view towards distribution in a manner which would violate the 1933 Act or any applicable state or other securities laws. The Purchaser is not party to any agreement providing for or contemplating the distribution of any of the Securities. The Purchaser has no present intent to effect a “change of control” of the Company as such term is understood under the rules promulgated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act.
4.05No General Solicitation. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or the internet or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement. The purchase of the Securities has not been solicited by or through anyone other than the Company.
4.06Ability to Protect Its Own Interests and Bear Economic Risks. The Purchaser has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and is able to sustain a loss of all of its investment in the Securities without economic hardship, if such a loss

- 3 -


should occur. Such Purchaser further acknowledges that there is no trading market for the Series E Preferred Stock.
4.07Accredited Investor; No Bad Actor. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the 1933 Act. Such Purchaser has not taken any of the actions set forth in, and is not subject to, the disqualification provisions of Rule 506(d)(1) of the 1933 Act.
4.08Access to Information. The Purchaser has been given access to Company documents, records, and other information, and has had adequate opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company’s officers, employees, agents, accountants and representatives concerning the Company’s business, operations, financial condition, assets, liabilities and all other matters relevant to its investment in the Securities. Purchaser understands that an investment in the Securities bears significant risk and represents that it has reviewed the SEC Reports (as defined below), which serve to qualify certain of the Company representations set forth below.
4.09Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Securities will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities, and any securities issued in respect of or exchange for the Securities, may be notated with one or more legends required by the federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state, in each case, to the extent such laws are applicable to the Securities represented by the certificate, instrument or book-entry so legended, including as provided in Section 9.01.
4.10Short Sales. Between the time the Purchaser learned about the offering contemplated by this Agreement and the public announcement of the offering, the Purchaser has not engaged in any short sales (as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the 1934 Act (“Short Sales”)) or similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock or any securities exchangeable or convertible for Common Stock, nor has the Purchaser, directly or indirectly, caused any person to engage in any Short Sales or similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock.
4.11Tax Advisors. The Purchaser has had the opportunity to review with the Purchaser’s own tax advisors the federal, state and local tax consequences of its purchase of the Securities set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers, where applicable, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser is relying solely on the Purchaser’s own determination as to tax consequences or the advice of such tax advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents and understands that the Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Purchaser’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
4.12Beneficial Ownership. The purchase by such Purchaser of the Securities issuable to it pursuant to this Agreement will not result in such Purchaser (individually or together with any other Person with whom such Purchaser has identified, or will have identified, itself as part of a

- 4 -


“group” in a public filing made with the Commission involving the Company’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, beneficial ownership in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a post transaction basis that assumes that each of the Closings shall have occurred. Such Purchaser does not presently intend to, alone or together with others, make a public filing with the Commission to disclose that it has (or that it together with such other Persons have) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, as a result of such Closings (when added to any other securities of the Company that it or they then own or have the right to acquire), beneficial ownership in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a post transaction basis that assumes that each Closing shall have occurred.
SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties by the Company. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Section 4 and except as set forth in the reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the 1934 Act (collectively, the “SEC Reports”), which disclosures serve to qualify these representations and warranties in their entirety, the Company represents and warrants to the Purchasers that the statements contained in this Section 5 are true and correct as of the Effective Date and will be true and correct as of each Closing Date:

- 17 -


other similar events), (ii) two individuals (the “Second Designee”) to serve as directors on the Board (A) at any time the Purchasers, together with their Affiliates, own in the aggregate at least 15.0% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company and (B) for so long as the Purchasers, together with their Affiliates, beneficially own (in the aggregate) at least 75.0% of the shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of Series E Preferred Stock without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) originally purchased by the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and other similar events) or (iii) three individuals (the “Third Designee” and, together with the First Designee and the Second Designee, the “Purchaser Designees” and each a “Purchaser Designee”) to serve as directors on the Board (A) at any time the Purchasers, together with their Affiliates, own at least 25.0% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company and (B) for so long as the Purchasers, together with their Affiliates, beneficially own (in the aggregate) at least 75.0% of the shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of Series E Preferred Stock without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) originally purchased by the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and other similar events); provided that at such time as the Purchasers designate a Third Designee, at least one such Purchaser Designee must qualify as an “independent” director as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) and be acceptable to the members of the Board who are not Purchaser Designees. Following any exercise of such rights by the Purchasers, which exercise shall be consistent with Section 1.10(b) of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws, the Company shall include such Purchaser Designee in the slate of nominees recommended to the Company’s stockholders for election as directors of the Company at each annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which directors of the same class as such Purchaser Designee are to be elected and every adjournment or postponement thereof (an “Election Meeting”). The Company will recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of such Purchaser Designee in the same manner as for all other Board members nominated for election at an Election Meeting. The Purchasers will provide to the Company, in writing, the information about such Purchaser Designee that is reasonably required by applicable law for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for Election Meetings promptly after the Company requests such information from the Purchasers, and will cause such Purchaser Designee to submit on a timely basis to the Company a completed and executed questionnaire in the form that the Company provides to its outside directors generally.
(b)For so long as the Purchasers’ rights under this Section 6.07 remain in effect, the Board will not create any “executive committee” of the Board, or delegate to any existing committee of the Board responsibilities substantially similar to those of an executive committee.
(c)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.07(a), the Purchasers shall not be entitled to require the Company to nominate and recommend for election any individual as a Purchaser Designee if a majority of the disinterested members of the Board (or the nominating committee thereof) reasonably and in good faith determine, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and upon advice of such counsel, that such Person would not be qualified to serve as a director of the Company under any applicable law (including requirements of fiduciary duties under applicable law), rule or regulation, rule of the stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, the organizational documents of the Company, or any policy or guidelines previously approved by the Board, but only if a direct or indirect

- 18 -


purpose of any such policy or guideline is not to obstruct the Purchasers’ right to designate an individual as a nominee to the Board or its rights under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a person’s status as a director, officer, employee or affiliate of any Purchaser shall not cause such Person to be deemed not qualified to serve as a director of the Company, except as required by applicable law or regulation. In the event the Board (or the nominating committee thereof) does not accept a Purchaser Designee as a result of such Purchaser Designee failing to meet the requirements set forth in this Section 6.07(c), the Purchasers shall have the right to recommend an additional Purchaser Designee in accordance with Section 6.07(a). The Company shall notify the Purchasers of any objection to a Purchaser Designee pursuant to this Section 6.07(c) sufficiently in advance of the date on which the proxy materials related to any such designee are to be mailed by the Company in connection with such election of directors, and in no event less than the first Business Day after such determination by the Board, so as to enable the Purchasers to propose a replacement Purchaser Designee in accordance with the terms of this letter.

The Purchasers understand that the Company may, as a condition to the transfer of any of the Securities or Conversion Shares, require that the request for transfer be accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transfer does not result in a violation of the 1933 Act, unless such transfer is covered by an effective registration statement or by Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. It is understood that the book-entry shares or certificates, as the case may be, evidencing the Securities and Conversion Shares may bear substantially the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE

- 22 -


REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS. THE COMPANY AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND THE TRANSFER AGENT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

9.02Legend Removal. Upon request of the Purchaser, and if such legend is no longer required under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, the Company shall promptly cause the legend to be removed from any certificate for any Conversion Shares or Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to any Purchaser new certificate(s) representing such Conversion Shares or Shares that are free from all restrictive and other legends or, at the request of such Purchaser, via DWAC transfer to such Purchaser’s account. A Purchaser may request that the Company remove, and the Company agrees to authorize the removal of, any legend from the Conversion Shares or the Shares, upon the earliest of (x) such time as the Conversion Shares or the Shares, as applicable, are subject to an effective registration statement covering the resale of such Conversion Shares or Shares and (y) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such Conversion Shares or Shares: (i) following any sale of such Conversion Shares or Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) if such Conversion Shares or Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1) without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirements under Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereto), or (iii) following the time a legend is no longer required with respect to such Conversion Shares or Shares. Certificates for Conversion Shares or Shares free from all restrictive legends may be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent to the Purchasers by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) as directed by such Purchaser. If a Purchaser effects a transfer of the Conversion Shares or Shares in accordance with this Section 9.02, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser to effect such transfer. Additionally, if a Purchaser effects a conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock into Conversion Shares at a time when a legend is not required with respect to the Conversion Shares, such Conversion Shares shall be issued without the restrictive legends set forth in Section 9.1. Each Purchaser hereby agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend pursuant to this Section 9.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that such Purchaser will sell any such Conversion Shares or Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.
SECTION 10. Registration, Transfer and Substitution of Certificates for Securities.
10.01Stock Register; Ownership of Securities. The Company will keep at its principal office, or will cause its transfer agent to keep, a register in which the Company will provide for the registration of transfers of the Securities and Conversion Shares. The Company may treat the person in whose name any of the Securities or Conversion Shares are registered on such register as the owner thereof and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. All references in this Agreement to a “holder” of any Securities or Conversion Shares shall mean the person in whose name such shares are at the time registered on such register.

10.02Replacement of Certificates. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate representing shares of Series E Preferred Stock, if any, and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement and surety bond reasonably satisfactory to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of such certificate for cancellation at the office of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 10.01, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new certificate representing such shares of Series E Preferred Stock, of like tenor.

A-3


The Series E Preferred Stock is non-voting stock. Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL, other applicable law or as provided in this Certificate of Designations, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote (or render written consents) on any matter submitted for a vote of (or written consents in lieu of a vote as permitted by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws) holders of Common Stock.

SECTION 4 Dividends.

If the Board of Directors shall declare a dividend or other distribution payable upon the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, whether in cash, in kind or in other securities or property (other than dividends payable in shares of Common Stock), the holders of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the amount of dividends as would be payable in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series E Preferred Stock held by each holder thereof could be converted, without regard to any restrictions on conversion (including the Beneficial Ownership Limitation), in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof, such number to be determined as of the record date for determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or, if no such record date is established, as of the date of such dividend (“Participating Dividends”). Participating Dividends are payable at the same time as and when dividends on the Common Stock are paid to the holders of Common Stock.

SECTION 5 Liquidation Preference.

(b) Distribution to Series E Preferred Stock and Parity Securities. Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any Senior Securities of the Corporation, upon a Dissolution, each Holder shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distributions of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock and Junior Securities and pari passu with any distribution to the holders of Parity Securities, an amount per share of Series E Preferred Stock held by such Holder equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value, plus any dividends declared but unpaid on such share of Series E Preferred Stock, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series E Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 6 (without regard to any restrictions on conversion (including the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)) immediately prior to such Dissolution. If, upon any such Dissolution, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of the Series E Preferred Stock the amount required under the preceding sentence, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Parity Securities shall share in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock and Parity Securities held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares of Series E Preferred Stock and Parity Securities were paid in full. For the avoidance of any doubt, but without limiting the foregoing, neither a change in control of the Corporation, the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity, nor the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets shall, in and of itself, be deemed to constitute a Dissolution.

SECTION 6 Conversion Rights.

(a) General. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 6, each Holder shall be entitled, at its option, at any time and from time to time, to convert all or any such shares of Series E Preferred Stock into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the number obtained by dividing (i) the

A-4


Stated Value of such Series E Preferred Stock by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect at the Conversion Time (determined as provided in this Section 6).

(b) Fractions of Shares. Fractional shares of Common Stock may not be issued in connection with any conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such conversion, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price.

(c) Conversion Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, and no Holder of the Series E Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert any portion of the Series E Preferred Stock, and any such conversion shall be null and void ab initio and treated as if the conversion had not been made, to the extent that immediately prior to or following such conversion, the Holder, together with the Attribution Parties, beneficially owns or would beneficially own as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in excess of 9.99% (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) of the Corporation’s Common Stock that would be issued and outstanding following such conversion. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership for determining whether the Beneficial Ownership Limitation is or will be exceeded, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the Attribution Parties, shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination is being made but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted shares of Series E Preferred Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder or the Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation held and/or beneficially owned by such Holder or any Attribution Party (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible stock or warrants), in each case, that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. It is being acknowledged by each Holder that the Corporation is not representing to the Holder that the calculation of such Holder’s beneficial ownership is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and that each Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. For purposes of this Section 6(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder of the Series E Preferred Stock may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (i) the Corporation’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (iii) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (such issued and outstanding shares, the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Holder shall disclose to the Corporation the number of shares of Common Stock that it, together with the Attribution Parties, holds and/or beneficially owns and has the right to acquire through the exercise of derivative securities and any limitations on exercise or conversion analogous to the limitation contained herein contemporaneously or immediately prior to submitting a Conversion Notice for the relevant number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock. If the Corporation receives a Conversion Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Corporation shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 6(c), to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Holder must notify the Corporation of a reduced number of conversion shares to be issued pursuant to such Conversion Notice. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(c) applies, the Corporation shall be entitled to rely on representations made to it by the Holder with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Holder, together with the Attribution Parties, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such representations. By written notice to the Corporation, a Holder of the Series E Preferred Stock may from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation, (ii) any such increase or decrease shall not negatively affect any partial conversion effected prior to

A-5


the effectiveness of such increase or decrease and (iii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder submitting the written notice and not to any other Holder of Series E Preferred Stock. For purposes of this Section 6(c), the term “Attribution Parties” means, collectively, the following persons and entities: (i) any direct or indirect Affiliates of the Holder, (ii) any Person acting or who could be deemed to be acting as a Section 13(d) “group” together with the Holder or any Attribution Parties and (iii) any other persons whose beneficial ownership of the Corporation’s Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s and/or any other Attribution Parties for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act. For clarity, the purpose of the foregoing is to subject collectively the Holder and all other Attribution Parties to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In accordance with the applicable listing standards, the restrictions set forth in this Section 6(c) will apply at any time when the Series E Preferred Stock is outstanding, regardless of whether the Corporation then has a class of securities listed on a Permitted Exchange. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price.

(i) Upon Subdivisions. If, at any time after the date the first share of Series E Preferred Stock was issued, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is increased by a subdivision of shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock affected by such subdivision, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of Series E Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(ii) Upon Combinations. If, at any time after the date the first share of Series E Preferred Stock was issued, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date to determine shares affected by such combination, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(iii) Stock Dividends. If, at any time after the date the first share of Series E Preferred Stock was issued, the Corporation shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 6(d)(iii) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series E Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

(iv) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger or Consolidation. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, merger or consolidation involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or property (other than a subdivision or combination provided for elsewhere in this Section 6), then, as a part of such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, or consolidation, provision shall be made so that holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, the kind and amount of shares of

A-6


stock, cash or other property to which such holder would have been entitled if such holder had converted its shares of Series E Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, merger or consolidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 6 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock after the reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, merger or consolidation, to the end that the provisions of this Section 6 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price then in effect for the Series E Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event in as nearly equivalent a manner as may be practicable.

(e) Exercise of Conversion Privilege. In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the holder of any share of Series E Preferred Stock shall, (i) provide written notice (a “Conversion Notice”) to the Corporation at any office or agency of the Corporation maintained for such purpose, that the Holder elects to convert all such shares of Series E Preferred Stock or, if less than the entire amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted and (ii) if such Holder’s shares are certificated, surrender the certificate evidencing such share of Series E Preferred Stock, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation in blank, at such office or agency. The Conversion Notice shall state such Holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such Holder wishes the shares of Common Stock to be issued. Series E Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of such shares of Series E Preferred Stock for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the specified shares shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such Conversion Time. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Time, the Corporation shall (i) issue and shall deliver a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion (or a notice of such issuance if uncertificated shares are issued) and (ii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series E Preferred Stock converted. In the case of any certificate evidencing shares of Series E Preferred Stock that is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Corporation shall also execute and deliver a new certificate evidencing the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock that are not converted (or a notice of such issuance if uncertificated shares are issued).

(f) Effect of Conversion. All shares of Series E Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the Holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon.

(g) Notice of Adjustment of Conversion Price. Whenever the provisions of Section 6(d) require that the Conversion Price be adjusted as herein provided, the Corporation shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price in accordance with Section 6(d) and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Corporation’s chief executive officer or chief financial officer setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at each office or agency maintained for such purpose for conversion of shares of Series E Preferred Stock and mailed by the Corporation at its expense to all holders of Series E Preferred Stock at their last addresses as they shall appear in the stock register.

(h) Corporation to Reserve Common Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the authorized but unissued Common Stock or out of the Common Stock held in treasury, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Series E Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value (if any) of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action that, in the opinion of its counsel, is necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

(i) Taxes on Conversions. The Corporation will pay any and all original issuance, transfer, stamp and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series E Preferred Stock pursuant hereto. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the share(s) of Series E Preferred Stock to be converted (nor shall the Corporation be responsible for any other taxes payable by the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock), and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

SECTION 7 Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any provisions of this Certificate of Designation may be waived on behalf of all of the holders of Series E Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the Requisite Holders.

Section 2.
Resale Registration Rights

2.1.Resale Registration Rights.

(a)Following demand by any Investor the Company shall file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance with the Securities Act) covering the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Investors (the “Resale Registration Shelf”), and the Company shall file such Resale Registration Shelf as promptly as reasonably practicable following such demand, and in any event within sixty (60) days of such demand. Such Resale Registration Shelf shall include a “final” prospectus, including the information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, as provided by the Investors in accordance with Section 2.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before filing the Resale Registration Shelf, the Company shall furnish to the Investors a copy of the Resale Registration Shelf and afford the Investors an opportunity to review and comment on the Resale Registration Shelf. The Company’s obligation pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) is conditioned upon the Investors providing the information contemplated in Section 2.7. If the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) or the Commission seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to the Resale Registration Shelf as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Resale Registration Shelf to become effective and be used for resales by the Investors under Rule 415, or if after the filing of the Resale Registration Shelf with the Commission pursuant to this Section 2.1(a), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the Commission to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in the Resale Registration Shelf, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the Resale Registration Shelf until the Staff and the SEC shall so permit the Resale Registration Shelf to become effective and be used as aforesaid. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall file, as

B-4


soon as permitted by the Staff or the Commission, one or more additional Registration Statements on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance with the Securities Act) covering the resale of Registrable Securities by the Investors that have not previously been registered under the Securities Act for resale by the Investors pursuant to Rule 415 until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in such additional Registration Statement (or in one of such additional Registration Statements) that has or have been declared effective by the Commission and the prospectus contained therein is available for use by the Investors. The provisions of this Agreement that are applicable to the Resale Registration Shelf shall also be applicable to such additional Registration Statement or each of such additional Registration Statements to the same extent as if such additional Registration Statement were the Resale Registration Shelf. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s obligations to register Registrable Securities (and any related conditions to the Investor’s obligations) pursuant to this Agreement shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement of the Commission or the Staff as addressed above in this Section 2.1(a).

(b)The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Registration Shelf and related prospectuses to become effective as promptly as practicable after filing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of the date (i) all Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Registration Shelf have been sold or may be sold freely without limitations or restrictions as to volume or manner of sale pursuant to Rule 144 or (ii) all Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Registration Shelf otherwise cease to be Registrable Securities pursuant to the definition of Registrable Securities. The Company shall promptly, and within two (2) business days after the Company confirms effectiveness of the Resale Registration Shelf with the Commission, notify the Investors of the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Shelf.

(c)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, a registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a):

(i)if the Company has and maintains an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR that provides for the resale of an unlimited number of securities by selling stockholders (a “Company Registration Shelf”);

(ii)during the period forty-five (45) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of a Company Registration Shelf; or

(iii)if the Company has caused a Registration Statement to become effective pursuant to this Section 2.1 during the prior twelve (12) month period.

(d)If the Company has a Company Registration Shelf in place at any time in which the Investors make a demand pursuant to Section 2.1(a), the Company shall file with the Commission, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within fifteen (15) business days after such demand, a “final” prospectus supplement to its Company Registration Shelf covering the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Investors (the “Prospectus”); provided, however, that

B-5


the Company shall not be obligated to file more than one Prospectus pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) in any six month period to add additional Registrable Securities to the Company Registration Shelf that were acquired by the Investors other than directly from the Company or in an underwritten public offering by the Company. The Prospectus shall include the information required under Item 507 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, which information shall be provided by the Investors in accordance with Section 2.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before filing the Prospectus, the Company shall furnish to the Investors a copy of the Prospectus and afford the Investors an opportunity to review and comment on the Prospectus.

(e)Deferral and Suspension. At any time after being obligated pursuant to this Agreement to file a Resale Registration Shelf or Prospectus, or after any Resale Registration Shelf has become effective or a Prospectus is filed with the Commission, the Company may defer the filing of or suspend the use of any such Resale Registration Shelf or Prospectus, upon giving written notice of such action to the Investors with a certificate signed by the Principal Executive Officer or Principal Financial Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, the filing or use of any such Resale Registration Shelf or Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders at such time and that the Board concludes, as a result, that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to defer the filing or suspend the use of such Resale Registration Shelf or Prospectus at such time. The Company shall have the right to defer the filing of or suspend the use of such Resale Registration Shelf or Prospectus for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the Company notifies the Investors of such deferral or suspension; provided that the Company shall not exercise the right contained in this Section 2.1(e) more than once in any twelve-month period. In the case of the suspension of use of any effective Resale Registration Shelf or Prospectus, the Investors, immediately upon receipt of notice thereof from the Company, shall discontinue any offers or sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Resale Registration Shelf or Prospectus until advised in writing by the Company that the use of such Resale Registration Shelf or Prospectus may be resumed. In the case of a deferred Prospectus or Resale Registration Shelf filing, the Company shall provide prompt written notice to the Investors of (i) the Company’s decision to file or seek effectiveness of the Prospectus or Resale Registration Shelf, as the case may be, following such deferral and (ii) in the case of a Resale Registration Shelf, the effectiveness of such Resale Registration Shelf. In the case of either a suspension of use of, or deferred filing of, any Resale Registration Shelf or Prospectus, the Company shall not, during the pendency of such suspension or deferral, be required to take any action hereunder (including any action pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof) with respect to the registration or sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to any such Resale Registration Shelf, Company Registration Shelf or Prospectus.

(f)Other Securities. Subject to Section 2.2(e) below, any Resale Registration Shelf or Prospectus may include Other Securities, and may include securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company; provided such Other Securities are excluded first from such Registration Statement (except as may be required pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 6, 2016, by and among the Company and the parties thereto) in order to comply with any applicable laws or request from any Governmental Entity, Nasdaq or any applicable listing agency. For the avoidance of doubt, no Other Securities may be included in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.2 without the consent of the Investors.

B-6


2.2.Sales and Underwritten Offerings of the Registrable Securities.

(a)Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, the Investors, collectively, shall and subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.2, be permitted (i) one Underwritten Offering per calendar year, but no more than three Underwritten Offerings in total, and (ii) no more than two Underwritten Offerings and/or Block Trades in any twelve-month period, to effect the sale or distribution of Registrable Securities.

(b)If the Investors intend to effect an Underwritten Offering or Block Trade pursuant to a Resale Registration Shelf or Company Registration Shelf to sell or otherwise distribute Registrable Securities, they shall so advise the Company and provide as much notice to the Company as reasonably practicable (and, in either case, not less than fifteen (15) business days prior to the Investors’ request that the Company file a prospectus supplement to a Resale Registration Shelf or Company Registration Shelf).

(c)In connection with any offering initiated by the Investors pursuant to this Section 2.2 involving an underwriting of shares of Registrable Securities, the Investors shall be entitled to select the underwriter or underwriters for such offering, subject to the consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d)In connection with any offering initiated by the Investors pursuant to this Section 2.2 involving an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Investors (i) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters, (ii) accept customary terms in such underwriting agreement with regard to representations and warranties relating to ownership of the Registrable Securities and authority and power to enter into such underwriting agreement and (iii) complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, indemnities and other documents as may be requested by such underwriter or underwriters. Further, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Registrable Securities in such underwriting if (Y) the underwriting agreement proposed by the underwriter or underwriters contains representations, warranties or conditions that are not reasonable in light of the Company’s then-current business or (Z) the underwriter, underwriters or the Investors require the Company to participate in any marketing, road show or comparable activity that may be required to complete the orderly sale of shares by the underwriter or underwriters.

(e)If the total amount of securities to be sold in any offering initiated by the Investors pursuant to this Section 2.2 involving an underwriting of shares of Registrable Securities exceeds the amount that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities (subject in each case to the cutback provisions set forth in this Section 2.2(e)), that the underwriters and the Company determine in their sole discretion shall not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the Underwritten Offering has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof, the number of shares that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner: (a) first, shares of Company equity securities that the Company desires to include in such registration shall be excluded and (b) second, Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by

B-7


the Investors shall be excluded. For the avoidance of doubt, no other person besides the Investors shall be entitled to participate in any Block Trade. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round down the number of shares allocated to any of the Investors to the nearest 100 shares.

2.3.Fees and Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Investors shall be borne by the Investors.

2.4.Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration of Registrable Securities effected by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the Company shall keep the Investors advised as to the initiation of each such registration and as to the status thereof. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, within the limits set forth in this Section 2.4, to:

(a)prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectuses used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and current and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement;

(b)furnish to the Investors such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including preliminary prospectuses, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Investors may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities;

(c)use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as shall be reasonably requested by the Investors, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

(d)in the event of an Underwritten Offering or Block Trade, and subject to Section 2.2(d), enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement or Block Trade sale agreement, in usual and customary form (including any “lock-ups” on behalf of the Company and its directors and officers), with the managing underwriter of such offering and take such other usual and customary action as the Investors may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(e)notify the Investors at any time when a prospectus relating to a Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be

B-8


stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

(f)provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such Registration Statement and, if required, a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

(g)if requested by an Investor, use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove any restrictive legend from any Registrable Securities, within two business days following such request;

(h)cause to be furnished, at the request of the Investors, on the date that Registrable Securities are delivered to underwriters for sale in connection with an Underwritten Offering or Block Trade, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, and (ii) a letter or letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters; and

(i)cause all such Registrable Securities included in a Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange or other securities trading markets on which Common Stock is then listed.

2.5.The Investors Obligations.

(a)Discontinuance of Distribution. The Investors agree that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 2.4(e) hereof, the Investors shall immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until the Investors’ receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.4(e) hereof or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required and that the Investors’ disposition of the Registrable Securities may be resumed. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this Section 2.5(a).

(b)Compliance with Prospectus Delivery Requirements. The Investors covenant and agree that they shall comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to them or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)Notification of Sale of Registrable Securities. The Investors covenant and agree that they shall notify the Company following the sale of Registrable Securities to a third party as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days, following the sale of such Registrable Securities.

2.6.Indemnification.

(a)To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify the Investors, and, as applicable, their officers, directors, and constituent partners, legal counsel for each Investor and each Person controlling the Investors, with respect to which registration, related qualification, or related compliance of Registrable Securities has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act against all claims, losses, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) to the extent such claims, losses, damages, or liabilities arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus or other document (including any related Registration Statement) incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, or (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification, or compliance; and the Company shall pay as incurred to the Investors, each such underwriter, and each Person who controls the Investors or underwriter, any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 2.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action if settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); and provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense arises out of or is based upon any violation by such Investor of the obligations set forth in Section 2.5 hereof or any untrue statement or omission contained in such prospectus or other document based upon written information furnished to the Company by the Investors, such underwriter, or such controlling Person and stated to be for use therein.

(b)To the extent permitted by law, each Investor (severally and not jointly) shall, if Registrable Securities held by such Investor are included for sale in the registration and related qualification and compliance effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, each officer of the Company who signs the applicable Registration Statement, each legal counsel and each underwriter of the Company’s securities covered by such a Registration Statement, each Person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act against all claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, or related document, or (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by such Investor of Section 2.5 hereof, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law applicable to such Investor and relating to action or inaction required of such Investor in connection with any such registration and related qualification and compliance, and shall pay as incurred to such persons, any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss,

B-10


damage, liability, or action, in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in (and such violation pertains to) such Registration Statement or related document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 2.6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action if settlement is effected without the consent of such Investor (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); provided, further, that such Investor’s liability under this Section 2.6(b) (when combined with any amounts such Investor is liable for under Section 2.6(d)) shall not exceed such Investor’s net proceeds from the offering of securities made in connection with such registration.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 2.6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and generally summarize such action. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense of such claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be entitled to select counsel for the defense of such claim with the approval of any parties entitled to indemnification, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, however, that if either party reasonably determines that there may be a conflict between the position of indemnified party and the indemnifying party in conducting the defense of such action, suit, or proceeding by reason of recognized claims for indemnity under this Section 2.6, then counsel for such party shall be entitled to conduct the defense to the extent reasonably determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interest of such party. The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to the ability of the indemnifying party to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.6, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve such party of any liability that such party may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.6.

(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event, however, shall (i) any amount due for contribution hereunder be in excess of the amount that would otherwise be due under Section 2.6(a) or Section 2.6(b), as applicable, based on the limitations of such provisions and (ii) a Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the

B-11


meaning of the Securities Act) be entitled to contribution from a Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an Underwritten Offering, or the Block Trade sale agreement, are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement or Block Trade sale agreement shall control; provided, however, that the failure of the underwriting agreement to provide for or address a matter provided for or addressed by the foregoing provisions shall not be a conflict between the underwriting agreement or the Block Trade sale agreement and the foregoing provisions.

(f)The obligations of the Company and the Investors under this Section 2.6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement or otherwise.

2.7.Information. The Investors shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Investors and the distribution proposed by the Investors as the Company may reasonably request and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration referred to in this Agreement. The Investors agree to, as promptly as practicable (and in any event prior to any sales made pursuant to a prospectus), furnish to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by the Investors not misleading. The Investors agree to keep confidential the receipt of any notice received pursuant to Section 2.4(e) and the contents thereof, except as required pursuant to applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall be under no obligation to name the Investors in any Registration Statement if the Investors have not provided the information required by this Section 2.7 with respect to the Investors as a selling securityholder in such Registration Statement or any related prospectus.

2.8.Rule 144 Requirements. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Investors to sell Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to:

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

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

(c)prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto (whether pre-effective or post-effective), and prior to the filing of any prospectus or prospectus supplement related thereto, to provide the Investors with copies of all of the pages thereof (if any) that reference the Investors; and

(d)furnish to any Investor, so long as the Investor owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the

B-12


Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested by an Investor in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits an Investor to sell any such securities without registration.

2.9.Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would provide to such holder rights with respect to the registration of such securities under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act that would conflict with or adversely affect any of the rights provided to the Investors in this Section 2; it being understood and agreed that any subsequent agreement of the Company with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company of the same class (or convertible into or exchange for securities of the same class) as the Registrable Securities granting such Person rights under this Section 2 equivalent to the rights of the Investors under this Section 2 will not be prohibited by the terms of this Section 2.9.

Section 3.
Miscellaneous

3.1.Amendment. No amendment, alteration or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by each of the Company and the Investors.

3.2.Injunctive Relief. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it shall be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them and that in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Person shall be irreparably damaged and shall not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such Person shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled in law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including, without limitation, specific performance, to enforce such obligations, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

3.3.Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing and sent to the address or facsimile number identified below. Notices must be given: (a) by personal delivery, with receipt acknowledged; (b) by email followed by hard copy delivered by the methods under clause (c) or (d); (c) by prepaid certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; or (d) by prepaid reputable overnight delivery service.

3.4.Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Jury Trial.

(a)This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

(b)Each of the Company and the Investors irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the Company and the Investors irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the Company and the Investors hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c)Each of the Company and the Investors irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein in any court referred to in Section 3.4(b) hereof. Each of the Company and the Investors hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTORS (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER

B-14


PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTORS HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

3.5.Successors, Assigns and Transferees. Any and all rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall not be assigned, transferred, delegated or sublicensed by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that the Investors shall be entitled to transfer Registrable Securities to one or more of their affiliates and, solely in connection therewith, may assign their rights hereunder in respect of such transferred Registrable Securities, in each case, so long as such Investor is not relieved of any liability or obligations hereunder, without the prior consent of the Company. Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in the first sentence of this Section 3.5 shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing and except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto. The Company shall not consummate any recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization or other similar transaction whereby stockholders of the Company receive (either directly, through an exchange, via dividend from the Company or otherwise) equity (the “Other Equity”) in any other entity (the “Other Entity”) with respect to Registrable Securities hereunder, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the Other Entity assumes, by written instrument, the obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Other Equity as if such Other Equity were Registrable Securities hereunder.

3.6.Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any exhibits hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and all previous agreements or arrangements between the parties, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof are superseded.

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

3.8.Severability. If any part of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration shall not affect the remainder of the Agreement and the invalidated provision shall be revised in a manner that shall render such provision valid while preserving the parties’ original intent to the maximum extent possible.

3.9.Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to sections, paragraphs and exhibits shall, unless otherwise provided, refer to sections and paragraphs hereof and exhibits attached hereto.

B-15


3.10.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties that execute such counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic means), and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

3.11.Term and Termination. The Investors’ rights to demand the registration of the Registrable Securities under this Agreement, as well as the Company’s obligations hereunder other than pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, shall terminate automatically once all Registrable Securities cease to be Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
