2.7 Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are effective in all material respects to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, including any consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to its chief executive officer and chief financial officer by others within those entities. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed quarterly or annual periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed quarterly or annual periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Neither the Company, nor any director or officer thereof, nor any of its subsidiaries, is or has been the subject of any action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty relating to the Company.

The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity with respect to the Company) with respect to the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents to the Company in connection with the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to such Purchaser’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Agreements has been based on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated thereby by the Company and its representatives.

2.16 Accountants. Ernst & Young LLP, who will have expressed or will express, as the case may be, their opinion with respect to the audited financial statements and schedules to be included as a part of any Registration Statement prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement, are independent accountants as required by the Securities Act.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries have received any written notice that the Company or any subsidiary will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires. The Company believes it will be able to obtain similar coverage at reasonable cost from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business.

The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the SEC Documents and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Agreement.

(b) any sale of the Securities, the Note Shares and the Warrant Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities, the Note Shares and the Warrant Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and

(c) except as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the resale of the Securities, the Note Shares or the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

In recognition that the Purchasers, the Baupost Designees and the Baupost Observer currently have and will in the future have, or will consider, investments in numerous companies with respect to which Purchasers, the Baupost Designees and the Baupost Observer may serve as an advisor, a director or in some other capacity, and in recognition that Purchasers, the Baupost Designees and the Baupost Observer have myriad duties to various investors and partners, and in anticipation that the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, the Baupost Designees and the Baupost Observer, on the other hand, may engage in the same or similar activities or lines of business and have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunities, and in recognition of the benefits to be derived by the Company hereunder and in recognition of the difficulties which may confront any advisor who desires and endeavors fully to satisfy such advisor’s duties in determining the full scope of such duties in any particular situation, the provisions of this Section 4.9 are set forth to regulate, define and guide the conduct of certain affairs of the Company as they may involve the Purchasers, the Baupost Designees and the Baupost Observer, and, except as the Purchasers, the Baupost Designees and the Baupost Observer may otherwise agree in writing after the date hereof:

(a) the Purchasers, the Baupost Designees and the Baupost Observer will have the right: (i) to directly or indirectly engage in any business (including, without limitation, any business activities or lines of business that are the same as or similar to those pursued by, or competitive with, the Company and its Subsidiaries), (ii) to directly or indirectly do business with any client or customer of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (C) to take any other action that the Purchasers, the Baupost Designees and the Baupost Observer believes in good faith is necessary to or appropriate to fulfill its obligations as described in the first sentence of this Section 4.9 to third parties and (iii) not to communicate or present potential transactions, matters or business opportunities to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and to pursue, directly or indirectly, any such opportunity for itself, and to direct any such opportunity to another person or entity;

(b) the Purchasers, the Baupost Designees and the Baupost Observer will have no duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present any corporate opportunities to the Company or any of its Affiliates or to refrain from any actions specified in the preceding paragraph, and the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby renounces and waives any right to require the Purchasers, the Baupost Designees

and the Baupost Observer to act in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 4.9;

(c) none of the Purchasers, the Baupost Designees and the Baupost Observer will be liable to the Company or any of its Affiliates for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of any activities or omissions of the types referred to in this Section 4.9 or of any such person’s or entity’s participation therein; and

(d) there is no restriction on any Purchaser, the Baupost Designees and the Baupost Observer using such knowledge and understanding in making investment, voting, monitoring, governance or other decisions relating to other entities or securities.

4.10 Indemnification of the Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchasers and their Affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls or is alleged to control the Purchasers (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement, and (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Party in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates (other than an action instituted by a Purchaser Party against another Purchaser Party and not also against the Company and in which the Company is not otherwise a party), with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any stockholder of the Company or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws), including, but not limited to, actions taken in the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements, the administration of the Notes, the filing, perfection and maintenance of Liens securing Collateral (as defined in the Indenture), and any actual or proposed amendment, supplement or waiver of any of the Transaction Agreements (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel (not to exceed 90 days)

or (iii) in such action there is a conflict or potential conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel and local counsel and shall pay such fees and expenses as incurred. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that if at any time a Purchaser Party shall have requested the Company to reimburse such Purchaser Party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 4.10, the Company agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without their written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Company of the aforesaid request, (ii) the Company shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 10 days prior to such settlement being entered into, (iii) the Company shall not have reimbursed the Purchaser Party in accordance with such request and (iv) the Company shall not have provided written notice within 10 days from such notice of the terms of such settlement of its reasonably withheld consent that acknowledges its continued liability under this Section 4.10 for such proceeding; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any stockholder of the Company or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party that a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final non-appealable order that such conduct constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers, not to be unreasonably withheld, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any Purchaser Party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such Purchaser Party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such Purchaser Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Purchaser Party. The indemnification required by this Section 4.10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

4.11 Filing of Certificate of Designation. The Company shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on or before the Closing Date the Certificate of Designation in the form of Exhibit H attached to this Agreement (the “Certificate of Designation”).

4.12 Taxes. The Company agrees, unless otherwise required by a change in law or as required by a taxing authority following an audit or examination, (i) to treat the Notes as indebtedness for tax purposes, (ii) to treat the Notes as having been issued with additional original issue discount in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Warrants and the Shares, (iii) not to treat the Notes as a “contingent payment debt instrument” or governed by the rules set out in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4, (iv) not to treat the Notes as integrated

with the Warrants or the Shares for tax reporting purposes, and (v) not to file any tax return, report or declaration inconsistent with the foregoing, except as necessary to account for and/or disclose possible uncertainty regarding the characterization of the Notes as indebtedness for tax purposes. The Company and the Purchasers agree that the amounts allocated pursuant to Section 1.1 to the Warrants and the Shares will represent their fair market value respectively and shall not file any tax return, report or declaration inconsistent with the foregoing.

4.13 Legends.

(a) To the extent the resale of the Note Shares or Warrant Shares is registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) authorize the removal of the legend set forth in Section 3.6(a) and any other legend not required by applicable law from such Note Shares or Warrant Shares and (ii) cause its transfer agent to issue such Note Shares or Warrant Shares without such legends to the holders thereof by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company upon surrender of any stock certificates evidencing such Note Shares or Warrant Shares. With respect to any Note Shares or Warrant Shares for which restrictive legends are removed pursuant to this Section 4.13(a), the holder thereof agrees to only sell such Note Shares or Warrant Shares when and as permitted by the effective Registration Statement covering such resale and in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations. Any fees (with respect to the Company’s transfer agent, counsel or otherwise) associated with the removal of such legend(s) shall be borne by the Company. The Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that to the extent resales of the Note Shares or Warrant Shares are made pursuant to such effective Registration Statement, that such resales will be made only during the time that such Registration Statement is effective and not withdrawn or suspended and only as permitted by such Registration Statement, and otherwise in compliance with the Securities Act (including applicable prospectus delivery obligations).

(b) The Purchaser may request that the Company remove, and the Company agrees to authorize the removal of any legend from the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares (i) following any sale of such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) if such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 following the expiration of the one year holding requirement under subparagraph (b)(1)(i) thereof, or (iii) if such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares are sold under Rule 144 following the expiration of the six month holding requirement under subparagraph (d)(1)(i) thereof provided that the Company maintains adequate current public information available pursuant to subparagraph (c)(1)(i) thereof. Following the time a legend is no longer required for the Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares under this Section 4.13(b), the Company will, no later than three Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such securities, along with (a) if such request is made pursuant to 4.13(b)(ii) or (iii), written confirmation by the Purchaser that it is not, and has not for the 3 months prior to the date of the request been, an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144, or (b) if the confirmation in (a) is not provided or, if such request is made pursuant to 3.6(b)(i), customary documentation related to the Purchaser, the transferee and the

transaction for a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 required by the Company’s counsel to provide its opinion relating to the removal of the legends, (A) deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, as applicable, that is free from all restrictive and other legends or (B) with respect to Warrant Shares, cause the Company’s transfer agent to credit the Purchaser’s or its designee’s account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system with a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Shares represented by the certificate so delivered by the Purchaser (the date by which such certificate is required to be delivered to the Purchaser or such credit is so required to be made to the account of the Purchaser or its designee at DTC pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery Date”). If the Company fails on or prior to the Required Delivery Date to either (i) issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to the Purchaser a certificate representing the Warrant Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends or (ii) with respect to Warrant Shares, cause the Company’s transfer agent to credit the balance account of the Purchaser or its designee at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system with a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Shares represented by the certificate delivered by the Purchaser pursuant hereto, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Purchaser, the Company shall pay in cash to the Purchaser on each day after the Required Delivery Date that the issuance or credit of such shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Shares not issued to the Purchaser on a timely basis and to which the Purchaser is entitled and (B) the VWAP for the five Business Day period immediately preceding the Required Delivery Date. In addition to the foregoing, if the Company fails to so properly deliver such unlegended certificate or so properly credit the account of the Purchaser or its designee at DTC by the Required Delivery Date, and if on or after the Required Delivery Date the Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Purchaser of shares of Common Stock that the Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then the Company shall, within three Business Days after the Purchaser’s request, promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Purchaser such unlegended certificate or so properly credit the account of the Purchaser or its designee at DTC and pay cash to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased by the Purchaser over the product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Purchaser at the Required Delivery Date, times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed.

obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, or are deemed affiliates with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

8.17 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each Purchaser will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by any Purchaser by reason of any breach of obligations contained in this Agreement and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

8.18 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
