AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PURCHASE AND SALE; CLOSING

1.1 Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall purchase from Sellers, and Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, all of the Shares, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances, other than restrictions imposed by securities laws applicable to unregistered securities generally and those arising hereunder. In furtherance thereof, at the Closing: (a) Buyer shall (i) pay to Sellers an amount

equal to the Estimated Aggregate Closing Consideration, (X) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts specified by Sellers’ Representatives to Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and (Y) by a Buyer Note allocated among Sellers in proportion to their respective holdings of Shares as set forth in Schedule 1.1(a) (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”), and (ii) pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company, the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Hudson Notes as of the Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by the holders of such promissory notes pursuant to the payoff letters delivered in accordance with Section 1.4(a)(v); and (b) Sellers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer all of the Shares, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances, other than restrictions imposed by securities laws applicable to unregistered securities generally and those arising hereunder.

1.2 Calculation of Closing and Final Consideration.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms below.

(i) “Aggregate Closing Consideration” means an amount equal to the result of: (A) $97,595,500, minus (B) the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Hudson Notes as of the Closing, plus (C) the amount, if any, by which Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Target, minus (D) the amount, if any, by which Net Working Capital is less than the Net Working Capital Target, minus (E) the Transaction Expenses of the Seller Parties in excess of $2,000,000, minus (F) the amount of any Indebtedness of the Acquired Entities not being repaid as of the Closing Date.

(ii) “Net Working Capital” means, with respect to the Acquired Entities, the total current assets minus total current liabilities of the Acquired Entities as of the close of business on the Closing Date (including Tax liabilities), in each case excluding the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Hudson Notes as of the Closing, the current portion of Indebtedness, the Transaction Expenses of the Seller Parties up to in the aggregate $2,000,000 and the Transaction Expenses of the Seller Parties in excess of $2,000,000 which are included in the definition of Aggregate Closing Consideration, and determined as set forth on Schedule 1.2(a)(ii).

(b) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representatives shall deliver to Buyer a statement of the Company’s estimate of the Aggregate Closing Consideration (such amount, the “Estimated Aggregate Closing Consideration”), including the Company’s calculation of each of the components thereof (such statement, the “Estimated Closing Statement”), which estimate shall be prepared by the Company in good faith based upon the books and records of the Company and in accordance with Schedule 1.2(a)(ii).

(c) Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representatives a statement setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Aggregate Closing Consideration, including its calculation of each of the components thereof (the “Closing Statement”), which shall be prepared by Buyer in good faith based upon the books and records of the Company at and prior to the Closing and in accordance with Schedule 1.2(a)(ii).

(d) Following the Sellers’ Representatives’ receipt of Buyer’s proposed Closing Statement and until the Aggregate Closing Consideration is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.2, the Sellers’ Representatives shall be permitted to review Buyer’s and the Company’s books and records and working papers solely as it relates to Buyer’s draft of the proposed Closing Statement and determination of the Aggregate Closing Consideration (and the components thereof), and Buyer shall provide the Sellers’ Representatives with reasonable access to Buyer’s and the Company’s personnel (including Chris Lynch, who shall be permitted to assist the Sellers’ Representatives for purposes of any determinations and reviews pursuant to this Section 1.2), books and records and facilities in connection with such review. The proposed Closing Statement delivered by Buyer shall become final and binding on the Parties thirty (30) days following Buyer’s delivery thereof to the Sellers’ Representatives unless the Sellers’ Representatives deliver written notice of their disagreement (“Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer on or prior to such date. If a timely Notice of Disagreement is delivered by the Sellers’ Representatives, then the Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the parties on the earlier of (i) the date Buyer and the Sellers’ Representatives resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, and (ii) the date all matters in dispute are finally resolved in writing by the Firm.

(e) During the thirty (30) days following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representatives shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If Buyer and the Sellers’ Representatives, notwithstanding such good faith efforts, fail to resolve any such differences they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, then at the end of such 30-day period, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representatives shall submit such dispute to the Firm for resolution of all matters that remain in dispute and that were included in the Notice of Disagreement (and shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Firm in connection with such resolution, including submitting written claims to the Firm if so requested), and the Firm shall make a final determination of the Aggregate Closing Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (with it being understood that Buyer and the Sellers’ Representatives shall request that the Firm deliver to Buyer and the Sellers’ Representatives its resolution in writing not more than thirty (30) days after its engagement). The Firm shall make a determination only with respect to the matters still in dispute and, with respect to each such matter, its determination shall be within the range of the dispute between Buyer and the Sellers’ Representatives. All determinations made by the Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. Any Party hereto may seek to have a judgment entered to enforce the determinations of the Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determinations are to be enforced.

(f) The fees, costs and expenses of the Firm shall be allocated between Buyer and the Sellers based upon the percentage of the portion of the contested amount not awarded to Buyer or the Sellers bears to the amount actually contested by such Party. For example, if the Sellers’ Representatives claims that the Aggregate Closing Consideration is $1,000 greater than the amount claimed by Buyer, and Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Sellers’ Representatives, and if the Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Sellers’ Representatives $300 of the $500 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to Buyer and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to the Sellers.

(g) If the Aggregate Closing Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.2 (the “Final Aggregate Closing Consideration”) is greater than the Estimated Aggregate Closing Consideration, then, within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Final Aggregate Closing Consideration is determined, Buyer and the Company shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company to, pay to Sellers on a Pro Rata Share basis, either by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by Sellers’ Representatives or the issuance of additional Buyer Notes or a combination thereof, an amount equal to such excess but in any event with respect to each such Seller in the same form of consideration as was paid to such Seller at the Closing.

(h) If the Final Aggregate Closing Consideration is less than the Estimated Aggregate Closing Consideration (such amount, the “Overpayment”), then, within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Final Aggregate Closing Consideration is determined, Sellers shall pay to, or cause to be paid to, Buyer or its designees, an amount equal to the Overpayment, which Overpayment shall be paid by Sellers on a Pro Rata Share basis by: (i) at the election of each Seller, the Right of Set Off of requisite amounts from the Buyer Notes or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by Buyer or (ii) solely in the event that no Buyer Notes are available for set off, the payment of such Seller’s Pro Rata Share by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by Buyer; provided, however, that with respect to each Seller, such Seller shall not be required to pay any amount in respect of the Overpayment in excess of such Seller’s Pro Rata Share.

(i) As of the Closing Date, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock that has been granted pursuant to the Stock Plan and that is outstanding and unexercised as of the date of this Agreement (whether or not such option is otherwise vested or exercisable) shall be cancelled and shall cease to be exercisable. In consideration for such cancellation, Buyer shall, with respect to each such option, at the Closing pay to the holder thereof an amount equal to such holder’s Pro Rata Share payable in accordance with Section 1.1. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable to the Option Sellers under this Agreement, such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Federal, state, local or foreign Tax law; provided, however, that Buyer shall withhold such additional amounts as designated by the Option Sellers at least two Business Days (2) days prior to the Closing Date (the “Option Withholding Amounts”). To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate taxing authorities, those amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made for all purposes under this Agreement.

(j) All payments required pursuant to Sections 1.2(f), 1.2(g) and 1.2(h) shall be deemed for Tax purposes to be adjustments to the Final Aggregate Closing Consideration paid by Buyer for the Shares.

1.3 Closing. The closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall be consummated on the third (3rd) Business Day after the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7 and ARTICLE 8 have been satisfied or waived at the offices of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, located at One Bryant Park, New York, New York 10036, or at such other place and time as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representatives. The time and date on which the Closing is actually held is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”. The sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed to take place and to be effective at 11:59 p.m. EST on the Closing Date.

1.4 Closing Obligations. At the Closing:

(a) the Sellers shall deliver to Buyer:

(ii) a good standing certificate of the Acquired Entities from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, dated no more than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date;

Each Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, severally, and not jointly, as set forth in this ARTICLE 2 (except as set forth in the Disclosure Letter; all references herein to a Schedule shall be references to the corresponding section in the Disclosure Letter):

2.1 Status of Certain Sellers. Such Seller that is an entity is an entity duly created, formed or organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its creation, formation, or organization.

2.2 Authority and Enforceability. Such Seller that is an entity has the entity power and authority to execute and deliver each Transaction Document to which such Seller is a party, and to perform and consummate the Transactions. Such Seller who is an individual has the requisite competence and authority to execute and deliver each Transaction Document to which he or she is a party, and to perform and consummate the Transactions. Such Seller has taken all actions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of each Transaction Document to which it is party, the performance of such Seller’s obligation’s thereunder, and the consummation of the Transactions. Each Transaction Document has been (or when executed will be) duly authorized, executed, and delivered by such Seller, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, constitutes (or when executed will constitute) the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Seller, enforceable against it, her or him in accordance with its respective terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting creditors rights and to general equity principles.

2.3 Conflicts. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.3, the execution and delivery by such Seller of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the performance by it of its obligations thereunder, does not and will not:

(a) violate any provision of applicable Law;

(b) require a registration, filing, application, notice, consent, approval, order, qualification, or waiver with, to or from any Governmental Authority;

(c) require a consent, approval or waiver from, or notice to, any party to a Contract to which such Seller is a party; or

(d) result in a breach of, or cause a default under any provision of a Contract to which such Seller is a party.

2.4 Litigation. There is no Action presently pending or, to the actual knowledge of such Seller, threatened against such Seller that would reasonably be expected to prevent, hinder or delay the consummation of the Transactions. Such Seller is not subject to any outstanding Court Order that would reasonably be expected to prevent, hinder or delay the consummation of the Transactions, nor is it or he a party or, to the actual knowledge of such Seller, threatened to be made a party to any such Court Order.

2.5 Ownership of Shares. Such Seller holds of record and owns beneficially the number of Shares as set forth next to such Seller’s name in Schedule 2.5, free and clear of any Encumbrances (other than any restrictions under the Securities Act and state securities Laws or any Encumbrances pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement). Such Seller is not a party to any Contract that could require such Seller to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any Equity Interests of any Acquired Entity (other than this Agreement or pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement). Such Seller is not a party to any other Contract with respect to any Equity Interests of any Acquired Entity.

2.6 Investment Intention. Such Seller is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act. Such Seller has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of independently evaluating the merits and risks of acquiring securities of Buyer. Such Seller confirms that it has been given the opportunity to conduct due diligence and Buyer has made available to such Seller the opportunity to ask questions of the officers and management of Buyer to acquire additional information about the business, assets and financial condition of Buyer. Such Seller will acquire securities of Buyer for investment only, and not with a view toward or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof or with any present intention of distributing or selling any interest therein. Such Seller understands that the Transactions have not been, and will not be registered or qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), nor any state or any other applicable securities law, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration or qualification provisions of those laws, based in part upon such Seller’s representations in this Agreement. Such Seller understands that the Buyer Notes may not be resold unless such resale is registered under the Securities Act, and registered or qualified under applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration and qualification is available.

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACQUIRED ENTITIES

Each of the Sellers and the Company, severally, and not jointly, represent and warrant to Buyer as set forth in this ARTICLE 3 (except as set forth in the Disclosure Letter; all references herein to a Schedule shall be references to the corresponding section in the Disclosure Letter):

3.1 Organization and Power. Each Acquired Entity is a corporation or limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Acquired Entity is licensed or qualified to conduct its business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction where it is required to be so licensed or qualified, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not individually or in the aggregate be reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each Acquired Entity has the corporate power and authority to own or lease the assets it purports to own or lease and to carry on its business in the manner currently conducted.

3.2 Authority and Enforceability. The Company has all corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations hereunder. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer) each Transaction Document constitutes (or when executed will constitute) the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

3.3 Conflicts. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.3, the execution and delivery by the Company of each Transaction Document to which it is a party and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, do not and will not:

All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each Company Subsidiary (A) that is a corporation have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and (B) that is not a corporation have (i) been duly created pursuant to the Laws of the jurisdiction of such Company Subsidiary, (ii) have been issued and paid for in accordance with the Organizational Documents governing such Company Subsidiary, and (iii) are fully paid and non-assessable and require no further capital contribution. The Acquired Entities hold of record and own beneficially all of the outstanding Equity Interests of the Company Subsidiaries, free and clear of any Encumbrances (other than restrictions under the Securities Act and state securities Laws). No Commitments exist or are authorized with respect to any Company Subsidiaries or their Equity Interests and no such Commitments will arise in connection with the Transactions. No Company Subsidiary is obligated to redeem or otherwise acquire any of its Equity Interests. No Acquired Entity controls, directly or indirectly, or has any direct or indirect Equity Interest in any Person that is not a Company Subsidiary. Each of the Company Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its jurisdiction, and is licensed or qualified to conduct its business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction where it is required to be so licensed or qualified, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not individually or in the aggregate be reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each Company Subsidiary has the corporate power and authority to own or lease the assets it purports to own or lease and to carry on its business in the manner currently conducted.

3.5 Capitalization. The authorized capital of the Company consists of:

(a) 100,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Company Common Stock”), of which 16,800 shares are designated as Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) and 16,800 shares of Class A Common Stock are issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock have been duly authorized, are fully paid and nonassessable and were issued in compliance with all applicable foreign, federal and state securities laws.

(a) Each Seller, on behalf of such Seller and each of such Seller’s Affiliates, heirs, representatives, successors, and assigns, on the one hand, and Buyer, on behalf of itself and each of Buyer’s Affiliates, heirs, representatives, successors, and assigns, on the other hand (individually a “Releasor” and collectively, “Releasors”), hereby releases and forever discharges Buyer, the Acquired Entities, the other Seller Parties and each of their respective present and former officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, stockholders, controlling persons, representatives, Affiliates, successors, assigns, on the one hand, and the Sellers (and each of the other Sellers) and each of their respective present and former officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, stockholders, controlling persons, representatives, Affiliates, successors, assigns, on the other hand (individually, a “Releasee” and collectively, “Releasees”), from any and all Actions, Court Orders, Losses, and, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, Contracts whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at Law and in equity, which such Releasor now has, have ever had or may hereafter have against the respective Releasees on account of or arising out of any matter, cause, or event occurring contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing Date, whether pursuant to their respective Organizational Documents, Contract or otherwise; except that (i) the foregoing releases shall not

apply to the Company and any indemnitees under the indemnification agreements set forth on Schedule 6.2(a) solely with respect such indemnification agreements, or any indemnification obligations under the Restated Certificate or the Bylaws, (ii) the foregoing releases shall not apply to claims alleging fraud or willful misconduct (iii) the foregoing releases shall not apply to any obligations of any of the Acquired Entities under any employment agreement with a Seller, (iv) the foregoing releases shall not apply to any obligations of a Party arising under this Agreement, and (v) the foregoing releases shall not apply to any employee benefits to which any such Seller is entitled under any Employee Benefit Plans or otherwise from any of the Acquired Entities, including accrued and unpaid salary or vacation or paid time off. Each Releasor acknowledges and agrees that as a condition of this Agreement, such Releasor is expressly releasing all the released claims against the Releasees that he, she or it knows about as well as those that he, she or it may not know about. Each Releasor expressly waives all rights under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which reads as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Releasees, each Releasor expressly acknowledges that this Section 6.3 is intended to include and does include in its effect, without limitation, all released claims which such Releasor does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor against the Releasees, and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of any such claim or claims.

(c) Each Releasor hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any cause of Action, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any Action, of any kind against any Releasee, based upon any matter purported to be released hereby.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.3 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Releasee, it being expressly agreed that such Releasees shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.3, and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other right to indemnification or contribution that any such Releasee may have under this Agreement, by contract or otherwise.

(e) The obligations of each Releasor under this Section 6.3 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Releasee to whom this Section 6.3 applies without the consent of the affected Releasee.

6.4 Employee Matters.

(a) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company to honor in accordance with their terms, all existing employment, severance, consulting and salary continuation agreements between the Acquired Entities and any current or former officer, director, employee or consultant of the Acquired Entities; provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude Buyer from having the right to terminate the employment of any employee, with or without cause, subject to the terms and conditions of any such agreements, and applicable Law.

(b) In the event that Buyer amends or terminates any employee benefit plans, programs, policies or arrangements of the Acquired Entities, Buyer shall cause the Company to, ensure that service rendered by employees of the Acquired Entities be taken into account for vesting and eligibility purposes under all employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements of Buyer and its Subsidiaries, to the same extent as such service was taken into account under the corresponding plans of the Acquired Entities for those purposes; provided, however, that nothing herein shall result in the duplication of any benefits. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, employees of the Acquired Entities will not be subject to any pre-existing condition limitation under any health plan of Buyer or its Subsidiaries for any condition for which they would have been entitled to coverage under the corresponding plan of the Acquired Entities in which they participated immediately prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall cause the Company to, ensure that such employees be given credit under such plans for co-payments made and deductibles satisfied prior to the Closing Date.

(c) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company to pay the employees of the Acquired Entities any bonuses that would have been payable to the employees of the Acquired Entities with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs in accordance with the bonus plans set forth on Schedule 6.4(c) and only to the extent such bonuses are accrued on the Financial Statements in compliance with GAAP.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer upon any employee, former employee, officer or director or legal representative or beneficiary thereof, or any other Person, or any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or level of compensation or benefits. Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, express or implied, shall constitute an amendment or modification of any Employee Benefit Plan.

6.6 Tax Refunds. Except to the extent reflected as an asset in the calculation of Net Working Capital, all refunds of Taxes of the Acquired Entities with respect to any Tax year or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any refunds of Taxes attributable to the carryback of a net operating loss or other Tax attribute from a Tax year ending on or before the Closing Date to an earlier Tax year) that are actually received by Buyer or the Acquired Entities or applied against an Tax liability otherwise payable by Buyer or the Acquired Entities, net of any expenses incurred by Buyer or the Acquired Entities in securing such refunds, shall be for the account of the Sellers and shall be paid over to the Sellers’ Representatives within fifteen (15) days of receipt or realization by Buyer or the Acquired Entities. All Tax Returns of the Acquired Entities for a Tax year or portion thereof ending on or

before the Closing Date shall be prepared as soon as practicable (including, in the case of a carryback of a net operating loss or other Tax attribute, using any available short-form or accelerated procedures and filing amended Tax Returns to the extent necessary) and shall be submitted to the Sellers’ Representatives for their review and comment at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date for filing. Neither Buyer nor the Acquired Entities shall elect to waive any carryback of a net operating loss or other Tax attribute on any such Tax Return. For the avoidance of doubt, all Tax deductions of the Acquired Entities attributable to (i) the cancellation of the options in exchange for the consideration payable to the Option Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the payment of Transaction Expenses (whether, before, on or after the Closing Date), and (iii) the write-off of previously deferred financing costs, shall be allocated to, and reflected as deductions on Income Tax Returns of the Acquired Entities filed for, Tax years or portions thereof ending on the Closing Date.

9.3 Notice of Claims.

(a) Any Person seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give promptly to the Party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnitor”) a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts

giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notices promptly shall not relieve Indemnitor of its obligations under this ARTICLE 9, except to the extent that the defense of such Action is materially and irrevocably prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice.

(b) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this ARTICLE 9 shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; or (ii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Losses suffered by it. All amounts due to the Indemnified Party as so finally determined shall be paid within thirty (30) days after such final determination by Indemnitor. In the event that the Indemnitor is a Seller then such amounts shall be paid on a Pro Rata Share basis by: (i) at the election of such Seller, the Right of Set Off of requisite amounts from the Buyer Notes or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by the Indemnified Party or (ii) solely in the event that no Buyer Notes are available for set off, the payment of such Seller’s Pro Rata Share by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by the Indemnified Party, but in each case subject to the limitations herein set forth. In the event that the Indemnitor is Buyer then such amounts shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by the Indemnified Party.

9.4 Third Person Claims.

(a) An Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnitor in writing, of the third Person claim promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the third Person claim, which notice shall contain reasonable detail describing the facts giving rise to the claim and (if then known) the amount of such claim. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notices promptly shall not relieve Indemnitor of its obligations under this ARTICLE 9, except to the extent that the defense of such Action is materially and irrevocably prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice.

(b) In the event of the initiation of any legal proceeding against the Indemnified Party by a third Person, the Indemnitor shall have the right to defend the third Person claim, with counsel of its choice so long as (i) the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within 15 days following the receipt of the claim notice that the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the third Person claim, (ii) the third Person claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief and (iii) the Indemnitor conducts the defense of the third Person claim actively and diligently.

(c) In the event that the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the third Person claim, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the third Person claim if there exists a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the third Person claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor and (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the third Person claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably) unless such claim provides for the payment by the Indemnitor of money as sole relief for the third Person and results in the full and general release of the Indemnified Party.

(d) To the extent the Indemnitor elects not to defend such proceeding, claim or demand, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the third Person claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnitor in connection therewith), (ii) the Indemnitor will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnitor will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the third Person claim to the fullest extent provided in this ARTICLE 9.

(e) The party controlling the defense of such third Person claim the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such third Person claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith the recommendations made by the non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. If the Indemnitor elects to assume control of the defense of a third Person claim, any fees and expenses of legal counsel employed by the Indemnified Party with respect to such third Person claim shall be considered Losses for which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE 9 only if the named parties in such third Person claim include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised by legal counsel that there may be one or more material legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor (provided, that in such situation, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to employ more than one law firm).

(f) The Parties agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such legal proceeding, claim or demand. Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provision of records and information which is reasonably relevant to such third Person claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and to act as witnesses.

(g) After any final Court Order shall have been rendered and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter alleged to be indemnifiable by the Indemnitor hereunder, the Indemnified

Party shall forward to the Indemnitor notice of any sums clue and owing by it with respect to such matter and the Indemnitor shall pay all amounts due to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after such final determination by Indemnitor on a Pro Rata Share basis by: (i) at the election of such Seller, the Right of Set Off of requisite amounts from the Buyer Notes or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by the Indemnified Party or (ii) solely in the event that no Buyer Notes are available for set off, the payment of such Seller’s Pro Rata Share by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by the Indemnified Party, but in each case subject to the limitations herein set forth.

9.5 Other Limitations; Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge.

(a) For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses, such amount shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any insurance benefits and proceeds (collectively, “Insurance Benefits”) paid to Buyer or the Company in respect of the Losses (net of any deductible amounts), (ii) any Tax benefit or refund actually realized or received by Buyer or the Company in respect of the Losses and (iii) any indemnification, contribution or other similar payment actually recovered by the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof from any third Person with respect thereto. Any such amounts or benefits (equal to the amount paid by the Indemnitor) received by an Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof with respect to any indemnity claim after it has received an indemnity payment hereunder shall be promptly paid over to the Indemnitor.

(b) Other than with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.6, in determining whether a representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement has been breached and calculating damages of any such breach where such representation, warranty or covenant is modified by the words “material,” “Material Adverse Effect,” “Material Adverse Change,” or other words of similar import, such modification will be disregarded.

(c) NO PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR REVENUE OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE) SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY ANY OTHER PARTY.

(d) The right to indemnification based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation. The waiver of any closing condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations.

(e) Except for remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of Law and injunctive and provisional relief, if the Closing occurs, this ARTICLE 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, or otherwise in respect of the Transactions, except to the extent that the actions taken or not taken by such Party constituted fraud or willful misconduct.

9.6 Subrogation. Upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant to this ARTICLE 9, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party may have against any third parties with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim and the Indemnified Party shall assign any such rights to the Indemnitor.

9.7 Set Off Rights.

(a) A Buyer Indemnified Party may only have the Right to Set Off of requisite amounts from the Buyer Notes in the event that Sellers so elect and the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this ARTICLE 9 has been determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; or (ii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree which shall include the final judgment or decree of a court when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. All Losses finally determined to be indemnified pursuant to ARTICLE 9 arising from a breach by the Company of a representation or warranty in ARTICLE 3 or a breach by the Company of any covenant prior to the Closing shall be shared amongst the Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of such Losses. Accordingly, each Seller must pay its Pro Rata Share of any Loss by one of two methods: (i) at the election of such Seller, the Right of Set Off of requisite amounts from the Buyer Notes or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by the Indemnified Party or (ii) solely in the event that no Buyer Notes are available for set off, the payment of such Seller’s Pro Rata Share by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by the Indemnified Party, but in each case subject to the limitations herein set forth. Buyer’s exercise, if in good faith, of its Right of Set Off will not constitute an event of default under the Buyer Notes.

(b) Neither the exercise of nor failure to exercise its rights under this Section 9.7 will constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer in any matter in the enforcement of any other remedies available to it.

ARTICLE 10

or restrict the rights and remedies of any Party against any other Party which has intentionally and willfully breached any of the agreements or other provisions of this Agreement prior to the termination hereof except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.2. If Buyer or Sellers’ Representatives terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(f) or Section 10.1(g), then Buyer will pay $500,000 (the “Expense Reimbursement”) to the Company and the Sellers, on the second (2nd) Business Day following such termination, for repayment of Transaction Expenses. In addition, if Sellers’ Representatives terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(d), Section 10.1(f) or Section 10.1(g) (in each case, solely with respect to a termination as a result of an intentional or willful breach by Buyer of Section 5.5), Sellers shall be entitled to pursue any remedy available to the Sellers; provided, however, that the recovery shall be limited to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). Absent a willful or intentional breach of Section 5.5 (which shall be subject to the monetary limitation set forth in the preceding sentence), the Parties agree that the Expense Reimbursement is the sole recourse and remedy for the failure to obtain the Requisite Financing or Alternative Financing and Buyer shall have no further liability in respect thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any representation or warranty, and any Losses with respect thereto, that would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 11.1 will continue to survive if a notice of a claim for a breach or inaccuracy of such representation or warranty will have been timely given under ARTICLE 9 on or prior to such termination until such claim has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in ARTICLE 9, but only with respect to such claim.

Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Letter is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Disclosure Letter is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.

No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

11.8 Expenses.

In case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision or provisions shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

11.12 Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be instituted exclusively in any federal or state court located within the State of Delaware, New Castle County, and each party agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such claim, that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the claim is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the claim is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court. Each party further irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such claim.

11.13 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement.

11.17 Sellers’ Representatives. Each of the Sellers hereby appoints such Seller’s respective Sellers’ Representative as the designated representative of such Seller, with full power and authority, including power of substitution, acting in the name of and for and on behalf of such Seller to (a) amend or waive any provision in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the waiver of any breach by Buyer or the waiver of any condition precedent to Closing), (b) to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE 10, (c) to receive and/or deliver any and all notices required to be delivered or sent by such Seller or the Sellers’ Representatives pursuant to this Agreement, (d) to represent the Sellers in, control the disposition of or otherwise resolve any dispute with Buyer over any aspect of this Agreement, (e) to do all other things and to take all other actions under or related to this Agreement that, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sellers’ Representatives, the Sellers’ Representatives considers necessary or proper and (f) on behalf of each such Seller to enter into any agreement, instrument or other document to effectuate any of the foregoing, which shall have the effect of binding each such Seller as if such Seller has personally entered into such agreement, instrument or document. The consent of both Seller Representatives is required for valid action by Sellers’ Representatives. Each Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Sellers’ Representatives and its agent, assigns and representatives harmless from and against any and all Losses that the Sellers’ Representatives may sustain or incur as a result of or arising out of any action or inaction of the Sellers’ Representatives in his capacity as such, or otherwise relating to his appointment as Sellers’ Representatives, except to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Sellers’ Representatives. The Sellers (acting by consent of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Sellers based on the portion of the Final Aggregate Closing Consideration payable to each Seller divided by the total Final Aggregate Closing Consideration) may designate a successor to the Sellers’ Representatives by delivering written notice to Buyer and the Company identifying such successor.

11.18 Acknowledgment of Purchase Price Allocation. Each Seller hereby agrees that the Final Aggregate Closing Consideration shall be allocated among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Company Common Stock solely on the basis of the relative liquidation preferences to which the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of Company Common Stock are entitled to receive in a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Restated Certificate). Each of the Sellers acknowledges and agrees that the Final Aggregate Closing Consideration shall be allocated among the Sellers, with respect to its or his Series A Preferred Stock and/or Company Common Stock, as applicable, solely in accordance with Article Fourth Section C(2) of the Restated Certificate and in accordance with the calculations set forth on the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, which may be updated by the Sellers’ Representatives immediately prior to the Closing, which each of the Sellers hereby ratifies and consents to, and to which such Seller agrees not to object. Buyer shall have no liability to any Seller if the allocations on the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule are not accurate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, any Seller may enforce this Section 11.18 against any other Seller or Sellers.

11.19 Specific Performance. Each of the Parties agrees that this Agreement is intended to be legally binding and specifically enforceable pursuant to its terms and that each Party would be irreparably harmed if any of the provisions of the Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that monetary damages would not provide adequate remedy in such event. Accordingly, in addition to any other available remedy, each Party shall be entitled to

injunctive relief without the posting of any bond to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that the Sellers may only specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof against Buyer only if Buyer has obtained the Requisite Financing or Alternative Financing. Each of the Parties agree that they will not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law.

11.20 Conflicts of Interest. Each Seller and the Company is aware that McDermott Will & Emery LLP (“MWE”) may have previously performed and may continue to perform certain legal services for certain of the Sellers (or their Affiliates) in matters unrelated to MWE’s representation of the Company. In connection with its representation of the Company, MWE may have obtained confidential information of such Sellers that could be material to MWE’s representation of the Company in connection with negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement. By signing this Agreement, each of Buyer, each Seller and the Company hereby acknowledges that the terms of this Agreement were negotiated between the Parties hereto and are fair and reasonable and waives any potential conflict of interest arising out of such representation (including any future representation of such parties) or such possession of confidential information. Each of Buyer, each Seller and the Company further represents that it has had the opportunity to be, or has been, represented by independent counsel in giving the waivers contained in this Section 11.20.

FORM OF BUYER NOTE

THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.

THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE, AND INTEREST IN RESPECT THEREOF, ARE SUBORDINATED IN RIGHT OF PAYMENT TO SENIOR DEBT.

THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN SET OFF PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN A STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JULY 15, 2013 AMONG THE COMPANY, THE PERSON TO WHOM THIS NOTE WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED, AND CERTAIN OTHER PERSONS. THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH A COPY OF THESE SET OFF PROVISIONS TO THE HOLDER HEREOF, WITHOUT CHARGE, UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.

SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE NOTE

$[ ]

[ ], 2013

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Joe’s Jeans, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and, together with Holder, the “Parties”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to [ ] (“Holder”), in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of [ Dollars ($ )], together with interest on the unpaid principal balance thereon from the date set out above (the “Issuance Date”) until the earlier to occur of the Conversion Date or the date such principal amount is paid in full, at a rate of 10%(1) per annum (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.1, the “Interest Rate”).

(1) Note to Draft: The Firemans Note will have an interest rate of 6.5%.

This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of July 15, 2013 by and among the Company, Holder, and certain other Persons (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) that provides for the purchase of the Shares or Options to purchase Shares of Hudson Clothing Holdings, Inc. by the Company from Holder and the other owners of the Shares. This Note constitutes a portion of the Aggregate Closing Consideration delivered by the Company for that portion of the Shares owned by Holder and is one of an issue of Subordinated Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Notes”, and such other Subordinated Convertible Notes, the “Other Notes”). Undefined capitalized terms herein are defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of this Note and all accrued interest hereon, including but not limited to in connection with any Event of Default but excluding any payment in connection with any elective conversion of the Note pursuant to Section 2, shall be pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the Other Notes. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company agrees that it shall not make any payment of interest under this Note (whether at maturity or otherwise, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 2) unless it shall concurrently make a payment of interest, as applicable, under each of the Other Notes in the same proportionate amount as the accrued but unpaid interest is paid under this Note.

1. Payments

1.1 Principal and Interest. Interest shall accrue at the Interest Rate computed on the basis of a 365/366 day year on the unpaid principal amount of this Note outstanding from time to time from the Issuance Date until the earlier to occur of the Conversion Date or the date such principal amount is paid in full. The Company shall pay to the Holder in cash all accrued and unpaid interest in arrears for each calendar quarter on the first day of each April, July, October and January, beginning October 1, 2013. Any accrued interest which for any reason has not theretofore been paid shall be paid in full on the date on which the final principal payment on this Note is made. Notwithstanding the first paragraph of this Note or the first sentence of this Section 1.1, during any period in which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum equal to 12% (the “Default Rate”).(2)

1.2 Payment of Principal on Note.

(a) The Company shall pay the principal amount then outstanding of this Note to the Holder on [insert date that is 6 years after the Closing Date] (the “Maturity Date”), together with all accrued and unpaid interest in the manner set forth below, unless such amounts are paid or payable sooner pursuant to the provisions of this Note. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay this Note in full in the following manner:

(i) the Company may pay and deliver to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) the sum of the entire then outstanding principal balance of this Note, plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, divided by (B) the Market Price;

(2) Note to Draft: The Firemans Note will have a default rate of 9%.

(ii) the Company may pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the entire then outstanding principal balance of this Note plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the Note; or

(iii) the Company may pay and deliver to the Holder, as the case may be, an amount equal to: (A) a number of shares of Common Stock as calculated pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(i) above assuming that a portion of the then outstanding principal balance of this Note designated by the Company is the amount of principal being paid in shares of Common Stock, plus (B) cash equal to the amount of cash to be paid pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(ii) above assuming that the remaining portion of the then outstanding principal balance of this Note is the amount of principal being paid in cash, plus (C) cash equal to the amount of accrued but unpaid interest on the Note.

The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(i) or (iii).

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) this Note shall remain outstanding so long as either (1) any principal amount of this Note (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) remains outstanding or (2) the Holder has the right to convert any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Note, and (y) in the event that for any reason (including due to the provisions of Section 4 hereof that restrict making of cash payments in certain circumstances) the Company is not able to pay all or any portion of the Notes in cash, then the Company shall be required to fulfill its repayment obligations on the Maturity Date in shares of Common Stock for any portion that the Company cannot pay in cash.

(b) The Company shall provide notice of the Maturity Date, as well as the Company’s election for payment of the Note under Section 1.2(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), to the Holder no later than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date, which notice shall be deemed to have been received (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or if by facsimile, upon written confirmation of receipt by facsimile, e mail or otherwise, (ii) on the first Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered utilizing a next-day service by a recognized next-day courier or (iii) on the earlier of confirmed receipt or the fifth Business Day following the date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Prior to delivering such notice, the Company shall be required to confirm the notice information of the Holder.

(c) Except as provided in Section 5, the Company shall not have the right to prepay this Note at any time.

1.3 Manner of Payment. Principal, interest, and all other amounts due under this Note will be payable in cash, except as provided in Section 1.2, in U.S. dollars, to Holder by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Holder in writing. If any payment of principal or interest on this Note is due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment will be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time will be

taken into account in calculating the amount of interest payable under this Note. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of California. The Company may, to the extent permissible under Section 1.2(h)(i) and Section 9.7 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, set off against the principal amount outstanding under this Note any amounts that Holder is determined to be liable to the Company in connection with the Transactions under the Stock Purchase Agreement which have been determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Holder and the Company; or (ii) by any other means to which the Holder and the Company shall agree which shall include the final judgment or decree of a court when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. In the event of such setoff, the outstanding principal amount of this Note shall be set-off until the aggregate amount of the set-off equals the amounts for which setoff is available from the Holder pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement; provided that in all cases the foregoing shall be subject as to indemnification claims under Section 9.7 to the limitations in Article 9 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, including those set forth in Section 9.1 of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Any accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount so offset will be cancelled, and, in the event any such interest on such principal amount so offset has been previously paid to Holder, such interest shall be deducted by the Company from the next interest payments otherwise due Holder. This Right of Setoff is without prejudice and in addition to any other right to which Holder is at any time otherwise entitled under this Note (whether by operation of Law, Contract, or otherwise). Within 10 days after the final determination of any amounts hereunder available for set-off, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company for cancellation in exchange for a replacement Note reflecting the correct principal amount after taking into account the set off.

1.4 Payment of Certain Taxes. The Company shall promptly reimburse the Holder for any amounts payable by the Holder pursuant to Section 453A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (and any corresponding state or local tax Law) on account of taxes attributable to the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement that are being deferred by the Holder under the “installment sale” rules (the “Section 453A Interest Charges”). The amounts owed by the Company to the Holder pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be treated as additional sales proceeds and shall be payable at such time as the Section 453 Interest Charges are actually payable by the Holder to the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority (the “Section 453A Payment Date”) and shall be increased by the taxes payable by the Holder with respect to the receipt of such amounts from the Company (such aggregate amount shall be referred to as the “Section 453A Payment Amount”). Such calculations shall be based on the assumptions that the Holder (x) has received no other installment notes in the taxable year including the Closing Date, and (y) is subject to the regular income tax, absent providing the Company with documentation that the Holder is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Holder shall provide the Company with Holder’s tax basis and gain percentage recognized on the transaction in order to calculate the Section 453A Payment Amount. Within 10 days after the Company receives written notice from the Holder of the Section 453A Payment Date and the Section 453A Payment Amount, the Company shall pay such Section 453A Payment Amount to the Holder in cash.

2. Conversion of Notes. This Note shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) or cash or a combination thereof at the option of the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.

2.1 Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4, at any time on or after the earlier of (i) the date that is two (2) years(3) after the date hereof and (ii) the Company announcing or agreeing to any Change of Control, the Holder(4) shall be entitled to convert all but not less than all of the Conversion Amount into the Settlement Amount determined in accordance with Section 2.3. Subject to Section 4, all accrued but unpaid interest on the Note shall be paid in cash at the time of conversion. In the event that the Company is prohibited from paying such interest in cash pursuant to the provisions of its Senior Debt, it shall pay such interest in Common Stock based upon the then Market Price and the number of shares of Common Stock comprising the Settlement Amount shall be reduced by the same number of shares of Common Stock paid for such interest. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of the Conversion Amount.

2.2 Mechanics of Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into the Settlement Amount as provided in this Note, the Holder shall deliver (whether via facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Los Angeles time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company (such date, the “Conversion Date”). Interest on the Note shall cease to accrue on the Conversion Date. Within three (3) Trading Days following a conversion of this Note as aforesaid, the Holder shall surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 6.3). In the event of a Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement, on or before the second Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a Settlement Notice as described in Section 2.3(b), of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), if applicable. On or before the third Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall, to the extent any such Settlement Amount is to be paid in shares of Common Stock, either (a) credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (b) if required, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Company instructions, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled.

2.3 Settlement Upon Conversion. Subject to Section 2.4, if a Holder converts this Note, the Company shall pay or deliver to such Holder, as the case may be, in respect of the Conversion Amount of Notes being converted, solely cash, solely shares of Common Stock (other than the payment of accrued interest in cash) or a combination of cash and Common Stock (the “Settlement Amount”), at the Company’s election, as set forth in this Section 2.3.

(3) Note to Draft: The Firemans Note may be converted beginning on the date that is 366 days after its issuance date.

(4) Note to Draft: The Notes for Peter Kim, Paul Cardenas and Tony Chu will contain a provision that requires all three notes to be converted together upon the consent of a majority in principal amount of such Notes.

(a) The Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the Settlement Amount on the third Trading Day immediately following the date of the Conversion Notice; provided, that;

(i) if the Company elects to fulfill its conversion obligation, in whole or in part, in shares of Common Stock, the Company shall deliver such Common Stock on the third Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date in accordance with Section 2.2;

(ii) if the Company elects to fulfill its conversion obligation, in whole or in part, in cash, the Company shall pay such cash as soon as possible but no later than the twentieth Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date; and

(iii) the Company shall use its reasonable best effort to pay in cash all accrued but unpaid interest as soon as possible but no later than the twentieth Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to Section 2.4 hereof, in the event that for any reason (including due to the provisions of Section 4 hereof that restrict making of cash payments in certain circumstances) the Company is not able to pay all or any portion of the Notes in cash, then the Company shall be required to fulfill its conversion obligations in shares of Common Stock for any portion that the Company cannot pay in cash.

(b) The Company shall deliver a notice (each, a “Settlement Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Amount not later than the Close of Business on the second Trading Day following the related Conversion Date. Each such Settlement Notice shall specify whether the Company shall satisfy its conversion obligation by (i) delivering shares of Common Stock (“Physical Settlement”), (ii) paying solely cash (“Cash Settlement”) or (iii) paying and delivering, as the case may be, a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock (“Combination Settlement”). In the case of an election that provides for Combination Settlement, the relevant Settlement Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar Amount.

(c) The Settlement Amount in respect of any conversion shall be computed as follows:

(i) if the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligation in respect of such conversion through Physical Settlement, the Company will deliver to the converting Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) the entire Conversion Amount, divided by (B) the Market Price;

(ii) if the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligation in respect of such conversion through Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay to the converting Holder cash in an amount equal to the entire Conversion Amount; and

(iii) if the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligation in respect of such conversion through Combination Settlement, the Company shall pay and deliver to the converting Holder, as the case may be, a Settlement Amount equal to: (A) a number of shares of Common Stock as calculated pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(i) above assuming that a portion of the Conversion Amount designated by the Company is the Conversion Amount being settled by Physical Settlement and (B) cash equal to the amount of cash to be paid pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(ii) above assuming that the remaining portion of the Conversion Amount is the Conversion Amount being settled by Cash Settlement.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock as part of the Settlement Amount due with respect to any converted Note in respect of which shares of Common Stock are deliverable. Instead, if any such Settlement Amount includes a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company will, in lieu of delivering such fraction of a share of Common Stock, pay an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) such fraction of a share and (ii) the Market Price of the Common Stock, subject in each case to the following paragraph.

(e) If a Holder surrenders more than one Note for conversion on a single Conversion Date, the Company will calculate the amount of cash and the number of shares of Common Stock due with respect to such Notes as if such Holder had surrendered for conversion one Note having an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of the principal amounts of each of the Notes surrendered for conversion by such Holder on such Conversion Date.

2.4 Limitations on Conversions; Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock (taken together with the issuance of all other shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Other Notes or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Other Notes) would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise or conversion (as the case may be) of the Notes or otherwise pursuant to the respective terms thereof without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (a) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount (which the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain at its next annual shareholders meeting, and each shareholders meeting thereafter until so obtained) or (b) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. Until such approval or such written opinion is obtained, no Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of any Notes or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Notes, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap as of the Issuance Date multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (A) the original principal amount of Notes issued to such Holder pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date divided by (B) the aggregate original principal amount of all Notes issued to the Holders pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date (with

respect to each Holder, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, if such approval or such written opinion has not been obtained as of the date of a Conversion Notice, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to explore raising additional Indebtedness or other financing, refinancing its Senior Debt, or obtaining waivers from the holders of Senior Debt to allow the Company to convert all of the Conversion Amount into the Settlement Amount and fulfill in cash any conversion obligations not paid in shares of Common Stock, provided, however, that the decision to incur additional Indebtedness or other financing or refinance the Senior Debt shall be subject to approval of the board of directors of the Company in its discretion. In the event that any Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of such Notes so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee. Upon conversion and exercise in full of a Holder’s Notes, the difference (if any) between such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such Holder upon such Holder’s conversion in full of such Notes shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Notes on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes then held by each such Holder. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.4 (the “Exchange Cap Shares”), the Company shall, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to this Section 2.4 and Section 4, pay cash to the Holder in exchange for the prepayment of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Exchange Cap Shares at a price equal to the product of (x) such number of Exchange Cap Shares and (y) the greater of the Market Price and the Conversion Price of the Common Stock. As of the Issuance Date, the Exchange Cap is equal to [·] (subject to adjustment for any stock splits, reverse stock splits or similar events affecting the Common Stock) shares of Common Stock; provided that in no event shall the Exchange Cap be reduced below [·] (subject to adjustment for any stock splits, reverse stock splits or similar events affecting the Common Stock) shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, if the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligations under this Note pursuant to Section 2 through Physical Settlement, then in no event will the Company be obligated to deliver to the converting Holder a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of (A) the Principal Amount of this Note, divided by (B) the Conversion Price.

In the event that the Exchange Cap Allocation is less than the full number of Shares issuable upon conversion by any Holder of this Note or any Other Note, and the Company is prohibited under its Senior Debt agreements from paying cash to the Holder upon conversion, then the conversion right may only be exercised by the Holder with respect to such number of shares as equals the Exchange Cap Allocation less any accrued but unpaid interest to be paid in Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the remaining portion of the Settlement Amount not so fulfilled shall remain outstanding, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to explore raising additional Indebtedness or other financing, refinancing its Senior Debt, or obtaining waivers from the holders of Senior Debt to allow the Company to fulfill such remaining obligations in cash, provided, however, that the decision to incur additional Indebtedness or other financing or refinance the Senior Debt shall be subject to approval of the board of directors of the Company in its discretion.

2.5 Rights Upon Issuance Of Purchase Rights And Other Corporate Events.

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.6 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Notes or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(b) Change of Control. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Change of Control, the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that, as a condition to or upon the occurrence of such Change of Control, the Holder will, upon consummation of the Change of Control in exchange for such Holder’s Notes, have the right to receive the greater of (i) an amount equal to (A) $35,550,000, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the original principal amount of this Note, and the denominator of which is the aggregate original principal amount of all Notes, or (ii) such securities and other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the consummation of such Change of Control had this Note been converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Change of Control (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note).(5)

(c) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction (other than a Change of Control) pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that, as a condition to such Corporate Event, the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note

(5) Note to Draft: Clause (i) will be deleted in the Firemans Note.

initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. The provisions of this Section 2.5(c) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note. Upon any Corporate Event, this Note shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the securities and assets receivable on the exercise of this Note after the consummation of such Corporate Event and shall be binding upon the Company, or upon a successor entity resulting from such Corporate Event regardless of whether or not such successor entity shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Note.

2.6 Rights Upon Issuance of Other Securities.

(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section 2.5, if the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision of Section 2.5, if the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 2.6 occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

(b) Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of Sections 2.5 or 2.6 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder.

2.7 Notices.

(a) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Company shall send written notice thereof to the Holder, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

(b) The Company shall send written notice to the Holder at least 10 Business Days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (i) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (ii) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (iii) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation.

(c) The Company shall also give at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of the date on which any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation shall take place.

3. Defaults

3.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events with respect to the Company will constitute an event of default hereunder (“Event of Default”):

(a) If the Company fails to pay when due any payment of principal or interest on this Note or any Other Note and such failure continues for ten (10) days after the original due date for such payment;

(b) If the Company, under the laws of any jurisdiction: (i) is dissolved, liquidated or wound up, or otherwise ceases doing business; (ii) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (iii) consents to the appointment of a trustee, receiver, assignee, liquidator or similar official; (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (v) institutes a proceeding, or has an involuntary proceeding instituted or filed against it (or has any writ, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process issued or levied against a substantial part of the Company’s properties) that is not dismissed, released or fully bonded within 45 days thereafter, relating to insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership, dissolution, winding-up, relief of debtors or any other similar relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar Law affecting creditors’ rights; or (vi) takes any action to effectuate or authorize any of the foregoing;

(c) the failure to make any payment when due (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) on the principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries, or any interest thereon, if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness, whether such Indebtedness now exists, or is created after the date of this Note, in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been accelerated, aggregates $5.0 million or more at any time; or

(d) the Company breaches any covenant or other term or condition in this Note or any Other Note, and such breach is not cured within 15 days after the Holder notifies the Company in writing of such breach.

3.2 Notice by the Company. The Company will notify Holder in writing within five days after the occurrence of any Event of Default of which the Company acquires knowledge.

3.3 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder (unless cured by the Company or waived in writing by Holder), Holder may, at its option, (a) by written notice to the Company, declare the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the Note, immediately due and payable, (b) by written notice to the Company, demand that all accrued and unpaid interest on the Note, and all interest that thereafter becomes due, or is deemed to be due pursuant to the following paragraph, on the Note, be paid in shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the amount of such interest by the then Market Price (based on the Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the day the interest would had otherwise been payable) and/or (c) exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under this Note and applicable Law, including the right to collect from the Company all sums due under this Note. The rights and remedies of the Holder under this Note are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to the Holder. No failure, delay or omission on the part of the Holder in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege or any other right, power or privilege hereunder or otherwise preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The Company will pay all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Holder in connection with Holder’s exercise of any or all of its rights and remedies under this Note, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Without limitation any other provision herein set forth, upon any Event of Default prior to the Maturity Date in which the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note is paid or required to be paid pursuant to a demand made pursuant to the preceding paragraph (without regard to the provisions of Section 4), the Company shall prepay such amount pursuant to Section 5.

4. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Note, the Notes are subordinated to the Senior Debt to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Section 4. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes are not subordinated to, or pari passu with, any Indebtedness other than the Senior Debt.

4.1 No payment or distribution of any kind, whether direct or indirect (by set-off, recoupment or otherwise) and whether in cash or other property (other than in shares of Common Stock), shall be made on account of any Subordinated Debt, or in respect of any redemption, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any Subordinated Debt, by or for the account of the Company, at any time during which the Senior Debt shall be outstanding or any commitment to extend the Senior Debt exists, other than (a) to the extent no Senior Default has occurred and is continuing, regularly scheduled payments of interest, payments of interest and fractional shares upon conversion of this Note, or payments of taxes pursuant to Sections 1.2(a), 1.4, and 2.1, (b) payment of principal on this Note at its stated maturity date, so long as no Senior Default has occurred and is continuing and (c) issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note, or as otherwise contemplated hereunder.

4.2 Except as permitted by Section 4.11, in the event of any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash or other property, upon the dissolution, winding up, or total or partial liquidation or reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, or similar proceeding relating to such the Company or its property, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, arrangement or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or upon any other marshaling or composition of the assets and liabilities of such the Company (each, a “Proceeding”), or event described in Section 4.4 or Section 4.5 of this Note or otherwise: (a) all amounts owing on

account of the Senior Debt shall first be Paid in Full before any payment of the Subordinated Debt is made and (b) any cash payment to which the Holder would be entitled (but for the provisions hereof) shall be paid or delivered by the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or other liquidating agent making such payment or distribution to the Senior Debt holders directly, for application to the payment of the Senior Debt until all the Senior Debt shall have been Paid in Full; provided that in no event shall the foregoing limit the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note, or as otherwise contemplated hereunder.

4.3 In the event that notwithstanding the foregoing any payment or distribution of assets of Company of any kind or character, whether direct or indirect (by set-off, recoupment or otherwise) and whether in cash or other property, shall be received by the Holder on account of the Subordinated Debt in violation of the provisions of this Note and before all the Senior Debt is Paid in Full, subject to Section 4.13, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust by the Holder for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Debt, or their designated representative, ratably according to the respective amounts of the Senior Debt held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to cause the Senior Debt to be Paid in Full; provided that in no event shall the foregoing be deemed to include any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note, or as otherwise contemplated hereunder.

4.4 If at any time hereafter the Holder obtains any judgment against Company in respect of any Subordinated Debt, such judgment shall be subject to the subordination provisions of this Note and the rights of the holders of the Senior Debt to the same extent as such rights apply to Subordinated Debt under this Note.

4.5 The provisions of this Section 4 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment in respect of the Senior Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holders of the Senior Debt (including, without limitation, in the event of a Proceeding), all as though such payment had not been made. Without limitation to the foregoing, in the event that the Senior Debt is avoided, disallowed or subordinated pursuant to Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable state fraudulent conveyance laws, whether asserted directly or under Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code, the provisions of this Section 4 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be.

4.6 All rights and interests of the holders of the Senior Debt hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Holder, or Company hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Senior Debt;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Senior Debt, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Senior Debt, including, without limitation, any increase in the Senior Debt resulting from the extension of additional credit to Company or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any part of the Senior Debt;

(d) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Senior Debt, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Senior Debt or any other assets of the Company;

(e) the grant of any adjustment, indulgence or forbearance, or compromise with, the Company with respect to the Senior Debt;

(f) any change, restructuring or termination of the structure or existence of the Company; or

(g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any Holder.

4.7 Each of Company and Holder hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Senior Debt and this Section 4 and any requirement that the Senior Debt holder protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien on the any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to taken any action against Company or any other person or entity or any collateral.

4.8 This Note and all other instruments (and all replacements thereof) evidencing the Subordinated Debt or any part thereof shall be inscribed with a legend conspicuously indicating that the payment thereof is subordinated to the payment of the Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.

4.9 This Section 4 shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Debt; and such holders are made third party beneficiaries of this Section 4 hereunder and any one or more of them, or their designated representative, may enforce such provisions, and all such holders shall be deemed to have relied thereon. The subordination effected by this Section 4 is a continuing subordination, and the Holder unconditionally waives notice of the incurring of any Senior Debt or any part thereof and reliance by any holders of Senior Debt upon the subordination contained herein. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement to and a consideration of the holders of Senior Debt, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the incurrence or creation of any Subordinated Debt and whether such holders of Senior Debt are now known or hereafter become known, and each holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied upon such subordination provisions in acquiring and holding, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 4 directly as if it were a party to this Note. No right of any present or future holders of Senior Debt to enforce subordination provisions contained in this Section 4 shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of Company or by any noncompliance by Company with the terms of this Note.

4.10 The provisions of this Section 4 are for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of the Senior Debt on the one hand and the holders of Subordinated Debt on the other hand, and nothing herein shall impair (as between the Company, the holders of the Subordinated Debt) the Company’s obligation to the holders of the Subordinated Debt to pay to such holders the full amount of the Subordinated Debt in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Notes. No provision of this Section 4 shall be construed to prevent the holders of the Subordinated Debt from exercising all rights and remedies available under the Notes, the Stock Purchase Agreement or under applicable law upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise, subject to the rights of the holders of the Senior Debt as set forth above to receive payments otherwise payable to the holders of the Subordinated Debt, and no provision of this Section 4 shall be deemed to subordinate, to any extent, any claim or right of any holder of the Subordinated Debt to any claim against the Company by any creditor or any other Person except to the extent expressly provided herein.

4.11 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 4 shall affect or limit the right of the Holder to at any time convert all or any portion of this Note, or interest thereon as contemplated hereunder, into Common Stock in accordance herewith (or the obligation of the Company to effect such conversion), it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that such conversion may be consummated regardless of the occurrence and continuance of a Senior Default, the commencement and pendency of a Proceeding with respect to the Company, or any other circumstance.

4.12 Upon Senior Debt having been Paid in Full, Holder shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Company applicable to the Senior Debt until the obligations under this Note shall have been satisfied, for purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Debt of assets, whether in cash, property or securities, distributable to the holders of Senior Debt under the provisions hereof to which Holder would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 4, and no payment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 to the holders of Senior Debt by Holder, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt, and Holder, be deemed to be a payment by Company to or on account of Senior Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Section 4 are, and are intended, solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Holder, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Debt, on the other hand.

4.13 The Company shall give prompt written notice to Holder of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to Holder in respect of this Note pursuant to this Section 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, Holder shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to Holder, unless and until Holder shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or from the holder or holders of Senior Debt; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, Holder shall be entitled to assume conclusively that such facts do not exist and to receive and retain payments or distributions on this Note; provided, the Holder shall not be entitled to retain any payments or distributions received by Holder within the 30 day period prior to the date Holder receives such written notice. Holder shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Debt to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Debt. In the event that Holder determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right pursuant to this Section 4 of any person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment

or distribution of amounts otherwise payable to Holder, Holder may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of Holder as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such person, the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of each person under this Section 4, and, if such evidence is not furnished, Holder may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination as to the right of such person to receive such payment.

5. Company Optional Prepayment.

5.1 Any time after the Initial Issuance Date, the Company shall have the right to prepay all or any portion of the then outstanding principal balance under this Note (the “Company Optional Prepayment Amount”) and all or any portion of the then outstanding principal balance (as defined in the Other Notes) then outstanding under the Other Notes on the Company Optional Prepayment Date (as defined below) (a “Company Optional Prepayment”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise its prepayment right under this Section 5 if it would be prohibited from satisfying its prepayment obligations in full on the Company Optional Prepayment Date (whether pursuant to Law or pursuant to any agreement, including Section 2.4 and Section 4 of this Note). On the Company Optional Prepayment Date, the portion of this Note subject to prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be prepaid by the Company in the following manner (collectively, the “Company Optional Prepayment Price”):

(a) if the Company elects to satisfy its prepayment right in shares of Common Stock, then the Company will deliver to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) the sum of the entire Company Optional Prepayment Amount, plus all Discounted Yield Value, divided by (B) the Market Price;

(b) if the Company elects to satisfy its prepayment right in cash, then the Company shall pay to the prepaid Holder cash in an amount equal to the sum of the entire Company Optional Prepayment Amount, plus all Discounted Yield Value; or

(c) if the Company elects to satisfy its prepayment right in a combination of shares of Common Stock and cash, then the Company shall pay and deliver to the prepaid Holder, as the case may be, an amount equal to: (i) a number of shares of Common Stock as calculated pursuant to Section 5.1(a) above assuming that a portion of the Company Optional Prepayment Amount designated by the Company is the amount of principal being paid in shares of Common Stock, plus (ii) cash equal to the amount of cash to be paid pursuant to Section 5.1(b) above assuming that the remaining portion of the Company Optional Prepayment Amount is the amount of principal being paid in cash, plus (iii) cash equal to the amount of all Discounted Yield Value.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock as part of the Company Optional Prepayment Amount due with respect to any prepaid Note in respect of which shares of Common Stock are deliverable. Instead, if any such Company Optional Prepayment Amount includes a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company will, in lieu of delivering such fraction of a share of Common Stock, pay an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) such fraction of a share and (ii) the Market Price of the Common Stock, subject in each case to the following paragraph.

5.2 The Company may exercise its prepayment right under this Section 5 by delivering an irrevocable written notice thereof by facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of Notes, excluding for purposes hereof Notes not bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum (without giving effect to the Default Rate) (the “Company Optional Prepayment Notice” and the date all of the holders of Notes received such notice is referred to as the “Company Optional Prepayment Notice Date”). The Company Optional Prepayment Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company Optional Prepayment shall occur (the “Company Optional Prepayment Date”) which date shall not be less than sixty (60) calendar days nor more than ninety (90) calendar days following the Company Optional Prepayment Notice Date, and (y) state the aggregate Company Optional Prepayment Amount of the Notes which is being prepaid in such Company Optional Prepayment from the Holder and all of the other holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 5 (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes) on the Company Optional Prepayment Date. All principal balances under this Note converted by the Holder after the Company Optional Prepayment Notice Date shall reduce the Company Optional Prepayment Amount of this Note required to be prepaid on the Company Optional Prepayment Date. Prepayments made pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with Section 5.3.

5.3 The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Prepayment Price to the Holder on the applicable Company Optional Prepayment Date. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Company Optional Prepayment Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Prepayment Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of prepayment, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the principal balance of this Note that was submitted for prepayment and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid, which remedy shall be in addition to the other remedies available to the Holder (including under Section 3).

5.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Conversion Amount (a) shall remain outstanding after the consummation of any Company Optional Prepayment and (b) may be converted by the Holder in accordance with Section 2.

ARTICLE 2
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.1 Demand Registration

(a) Request for Registration

(i) On each of the 15 month and 18 month anniversaries of the date of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holders that, beginning on the 15 month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Holders have the right to demand registration for the resale of their Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2.1. At any time following the 20 month anniversary of the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of Fireman, the 10 month anniversary of the date of this Agreement), any Holder or group of Holders that, together with its or their Affiliates, holds more than twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable Shares (collectively, a “Demanding Stockholder”) shall have the right to require the Company to prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-1 or S-3 or any similar form or successor to such forms under the Securities Act, or any other appropriate form under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act for the resale of all or part of its Registrable Shares (a “Demand Registration”), by delivering to the Company written notice stating that such right is being exercised, naming the Demanding Stockholder(s) whose Registrable Shares are to be included in such registration, specifying the aggregate number of the Demanding Stockholder’s Registrable Shares to be included in such registration and, subject to Section 2.1(c) hereof, and describing the intended method of distribution thereof to the extent then known (a “Demand Request”). The Demanding Stockholders hereunder shall collectively have the right to require up to two (2) Long-Form Registrations and an unlimited number of Short-From Registrations. The number of Demand Registrations in the form of a Shelf Registration (as defined below) shall be unlimited.

(ii) Subject to Section 2.1(f), the Company shall prepare and file the registration statement in respect of a Demand Registration as soon as practicable and, in any event, within ninety (90) days after receiving a Demand Request (the “Required Filing Date”) on any form for which the Company then qualifies, and which form shall be available for the resale of the Registrable Shares in accordance with the intended methods of distribution thereof, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable after such filing; provided that:

(A) other than a Shelf Registration, the Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) within ninety (90) days after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration; and

(B) the Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) unless the Demand Request is for a number of Registrable Shares with an expected market value that is equal to at least (x) $9 million as of the date of such Demand Request with respect to any Long-Form Registration or (y) $3.5 million as of the date of such Demand Request with respect to any Short-Form Registration.

(b) Shelf Registration

With respect to any Demand Registration, subject to the availability of a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form), the Company shall, upon written request from a Demanding Stockholder, effect as soon as practicable and, in any event, within one hundred and five (105) days after receiving a Demand Request, a registration statement providing for the offer and resale of all Registrable Shares in a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) with a plan of distribution acceptable to the Holders and suitable for use for the manner of distribution specified by the Holders (a “Shelf Registration”), and, thereafter, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the two (2) year anniversary of the date of this Agreement. Such Shelf Registration shall cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Shares. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of (i) the date when all Registrable Shares covered by such Shelf Registration have been sold or (ii) the date on which the entire amount of all Registrable Shares is available to be sold in a single sale without any restriction pursuant to Rule 144 as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter, addressed to the Company’s transfer agent to such effect (the “Effectiveness Period”). During the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall

supplement or make amendments to such Shelf Registration, if required by the Securities Act or if reasonably requested by the Holders or an underwriter of the Registrable Shares (whether or not required by the form on which the Registrable Shares are being registered), including to reflect any specific plan of distribution or method of sale, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such supplements and amendments declared effective, if required, as soon as practicable after filing. If at any time and for any reason an additional registration statement for the Shelf Registration is required to be filed for any reason, then the Company shall have forty (40) Business Days to file such additional registration statement, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such additional registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible, but in no event later than one hundred and five (105) days thereafter.

At the request of the Demanding Stockholder(s) making a Demand Request, the offering of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Demand Registration, including pursuant to a Shelf Registration that is a Demand Registration, shall be in the form of a “firm commitment” underwritten offering. The Demanding Stockholders making such Demand Request shall select (i) the investment banking firm or firms to manage the underwritten offering and (ii) counsel to the Requesting Holders; provided that, in the case of clause (i), such selection shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Holder may participate in any underwritten registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) unless such Holder (x) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting agreement described above as agreed upon by the Company and accepts the underwriters selected in accordance with the procedures described in this Section 2 and (y) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required by the managing underwriters under the terms of such underwriting agreements; provided that no such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties, or give any indemnities, in connection with any such registration other than representations and warranties, or indemnities, as to (i) such Holder’s ownership of his, her or its Registrable Shares to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances created by such Holder, (ii) such Holder’s power and authority to effect such transfer, and (iii) the accuracy and completeness of statements made in a registration statement, prospectus or other document in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company or the managing underwriter(s) by such Holder pertaining exclusively to such Holder; provided, further that any obligation of such Holder to indemnify any Person pursuant to any such underwriting agreement shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders selling Registrable Shares, and such liability shall be limited to the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of his, her or its Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration (which amounts shall include the amount of cash or the fair market value of any assets, including Common Stock, received in exchange for the sale or exchange of such Registrable Shares or that are the subject of a distribution), and the relative liability of each such Holder shall be in proportion to such net amounts.

(d) Rights of Nonrequesting Holders

Upon receipt of any Demand Request, the Company shall promptly (but in any event within ten (10) days) give written notice of such proposed Demand Registration to all other Holders of Registrable Shares, who shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Company within twenty (20) days of their receipt of the Company’s notice, to elect to include in such Demand Registration such portion of their Registrable Shares as they may request, so long as such Registrable Shares are proposed to be disposed of in accordance with the method or methods of disposition requested pursuant to this Section 2.1. All Holders requesting to have their Registrable Shares included in a Demand Registration in accordance with the preceding sentence together with all Demanding Stockholders shall be deemed to be “Requesting Holders” for purposes herein.

(e) Priority on Demand Registrations

If the managing underwriters (or, in an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment bank) shall advise the Company and the Requesting Holders in writing that the number of securities proposed to be included in a Demand Registration is sufficiently large to cause an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of any such offering, based on market conditions or otherwise (an “Adverse Effect”), the Company shall include in such registration, to the extent of the number of securities which the Company is advised can be sold in such offering (unless with respect to (i) and (ii) waived by the Demanding Stockholders in their sole discretion) (i) first, all of the Registrable Shares being sold for the account of the Demanding Stockholders, pro rata among the Demanding Stockholders based on the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration by such Demanding Stockholders, (ii) second, the Registrable Shares held by other Requesting Holders, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Shares based on the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration held by such other Requesting Holders, and (iii) third, other securities to be sold by the Company for its own account.

(f) Deferral of Filing

The Company may defer the filing (but not the preparation) of a registration statement required by this Section 2.1 until after the Required Filing Date (i) for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, if, at the time the Company receives the Demand Request, there exists a Material Disclosure Event, or (ii) for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, if, at the time the Company receives the Demand Request, the Board determines in good faith in its reasonable judgment that such Demand Registration would (A) materially and adversely interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate organization or other

similar transaction involving the Company or (B) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. A deferral of the filing of a registration statement pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.1(f) shall be lifted, and the requested registration statement shall be filed forthwith, if, in the case of a deferral pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, the Material Disclosure Event is disclosed or terminated, or, in the case of a deferral pursuant to clause (ii)(A) of the preceding sentence, the acquisition, corporate organization or similar transaction is abandoned, or, in the cause of a deferral pursuant to clause (ii)(B) of the preceding sentence, such Demand Registration would no longer render the Company unable to comply with the Requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; provided, however, that in no event shall a deferral of the filing of a registration statement pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.1(f) exceed one hundred eighty (180) days. In order to defer the filing of a registration statement pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.1(f), the Company shall promptly (but in any event within ten (10) days), upon determining to seek such deferral, deliver to each Requesting Holder a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company stating that the Company is deferring such filing pursuant to this Section 2.1(f) and a general statement of the reason for such deferral and an approximation of the anticipated delay. Within twenty (20) days after receiving such certificate, the Demanding Stockholder may withdraw such Demand Request by giving notice to the Company; if withdrawn, the Demand Request shall be deemed not to have been made for all purposes of this Agreement and the Company shall pay all expenses of such withdrawn Demand Registration in accordance with Section 2.7 hereof. The Company may defer the filing of a particular registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.1(f) only once in any consecutive twelve (12)-month period; provided that any deferral pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.1(f) shall be deemed to be a “Suspension Period” for purposes of Section 2.6 and shall be subject to the limitations and obligations during Suspension Periods set forth in Section 2.6. Each Holder agrees to keep confidential the fact that the Company has exercised its rights under this Section 2.1(f) and all facts and circumstances relating to such exercise until such information is made public by the Company.

(g) Withdrawal and Cancellation

Any Requesting Holder may withdraw its Registrable Shares from a Demand Registration at any time prior to effectiveness and any Demanding Stockholder shall have the right to cancel a proposed Demand Registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2.1(g). Upon such cancellation, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure registration and such Demand Registration shall not be counted as a Demand Registration under this Agreement for any purpose so long as the Demanding Stockholder pay all expenses (including the expenses of the Company) of such cancelled Demand Registration; provided, that if, at the time of such cancellation, the Demanding Stockholder shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Demanding Stockholder at the time of the Demand Request and shall have immediately cancelled the Demand Registration due to such material adverse change, then the Demanding Stockholder shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall not forfeit its right to a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1.

(h) Inclusion of Other Securities

In any registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.1, the Company shall not be permitted to register securities other than Registrable Shares for sale for the account of any Person (including the Company), unless permitted to do so by the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares to be sold in such registration.

Section 2.2 Piggyback Registrations

(a) Right to Piggyback

Each time the Company proposes to register any class of its common stock (other than pursuant to Section 2.1 or pursuant to an Excluded Registration) for sale to the public (whether for the account of the Company or the account of any security holder of the Company) (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to each Holder of Registrable Shares not less than twenty (20) days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Company’s registration statement. Such notice shall offer each such Holder the opportunity to include any or all of its Registrable Shares in such registration statement, subject to the limitations contained in Section 2.2(b) hereof. Each Holder who desires to have its Registrable Shares included in such registration statement shall so advise the Company in writing (stating the number of shares desired to be registered) within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such notice from the Company. Subject to Section 2.2(b) below, the Company shall include in such registration statement all such Registrable Shares so requested to be included therein; provided that the Company may at any time withdraw or cease proceeding with any such registration if it shall at the same time withdraw or cease proceeding with the registration of all other equity securities originally proposed to be registered and shall provide each Requesting Holder with prompt written notice of such withdrawal or cessation; provided, further that any Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Holder’s request for inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Shares in any registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) by giving written notice to the Company of such withdrawal ten (10) days prior to such registration statement becoming effective.

(b) Priority on Piggyback Registrations

(i) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering and was initiated by the Company, and if the managing underwriters advise the Company that the inclusion of Registrable Shares or other securities requested to be included in the registration statement would cause an Adverse Effect, then the Company shall be required to include in such registration statement, to

the extent of the amount of securities that the managing underwriters advise may be sold without causing such Adverse Effect, (A) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell; (B) second, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration by any Holder thereof pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Shares requested to be registered by each such Holder; and (C) third, any other securities requested to be included in such registration. If, as a result of the provisions of this Section 2.2(b)(i), any Holder shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Shares in a registration that such Holder has requested to be so included, such Holder may withdraw such Holder’s request to include Registrable Shares in such registration statement.

(ii) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering and was initiated by any of the other security holders of the Company (other than as set forth in Section 2.1) (the “Secondary Offering Securityholders”), and if the managing underwriters advise the Company that the inclusion of Registrable Shares and securities held by the Secondary Offering Securityholders and any other holders of piggyback registration rights requested to be included in the Registration Statement would cause an Adverse Effect, the Company shall be required to include in such registration statement, to the extent of the amount of securities that the managing underwriters advise may be sold without causing such Adverse Effect, (A) first, the other securities requested to be included by the Secondary Offering Securityholders, pro rata among such Secondary Offering Securityholders on the basis of the number of such other securities requested to be registered by each such Secondary Offering Securityholder; (B) second, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration by any Holder thereof pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Shares requested to be registered by each such Holder; and (C) third, any other securities requested to be included in such registration (including securities to be sold for the account of the Company). If, as a result of the provisions of this Section 2.2(b)(ii), any Holder shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Shares in a registration that such Holder has requested to be so included, such Holder may withdraw such Holder’s request to include Registrable Shares in such registration statement.

(iii) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the provisions of Sections 2.2(b)(i) -(ii) shall not apply to a Piggyback Registration that is a Shelf Registration.

(iv) No Holder may participate in any registration statement in respect of a Piggyback Registration hereunder unless such Holder (x) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting agreement in customary form approved by the Company and (y) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents, each in

customary form, reasonably required by the managing underwriters under the terms of such underwriting agreements; provided that no such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties, or give any indemnities, in connection with any such registration other than representations and warranties, or indemnities, as to (i) such Holder’s ownership of his, her or its Registrable Shares to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances created by such Holder, (ii) such Holder’s power and authority to effect such transfer, and (iii) the accuracy and completeness of statements made in a registration statement, prospectus or other document in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company or the managing underwriter(s) by such Holder pertaining exclusively to such Holder; provided, further that any obligation of such Holder to indemnify any Person pursuant to any such underwriting agreements shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders selling Registrable Shares, and such liability shall be limited to the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of his, her or its Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration (which amounts shall include the amount of cash or the fair market value of any assets, including shares of Common Stock, received in exchange for the sale or exchange of such Registrable Shares or that are the subject of a distribution), and the relative liability of each such Holder shall be in proportion to such net amounts.

Subject to Section 2.1(c), if any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering initiated by the Company or another security holder of the Company, the Company or such other securityholder shall select an investment banking firm or firms to manage the offering. The Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares included in any Piggyback Registration shall have the right to select one (1) counsel for the Requesting Holders.

(d) Effect on Demand Registrations

No registration of the Registrable Shares effected under this Section 2.2 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect a registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2.1. As of the date of this Agreement, the Company has not entered into any agreement providing any Person with registration rights with respect to securities of the Company that are more favorable in any respect than, or that otherwise would conflict with, the rights granted under this Article 2. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, with respect to the Company’s securities, enter into any agreement or arrangement, take any action, or permit any change to occur that violates or subordinates the rights expressly granted to the Holders in this Agreement.

Section 2.3 SEC Registration Statements

(a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Demand Registrations to be registered on Form S-3 (or any successor form), if applicable, once the Company becomes eligible to use Form S-3. If the Company is not then eligible under the Securities Act to use Form S-3, such Demand Registrations shall be registered on the form for which the Company then qualifies. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to become and remain eligible to use Form S-3.

(b) All such registration statements shall comply with applicable requirements of the Securities Act, and, together with each prospectus included, filed or otherwise furnished by the Company in connection therewith, shall not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

Section 2.4 Holdback Agreements

(a) The Company agrees (i) not to effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, except pursuant to Excluded Registrations, during the seven (7) days prior to the effective date of any registration statement in connection with a Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration and thereafter until the date on which all of the Registrable Shares subject to such registration statement have been sold (not to exceed ninety (90) days, as required by the underwriters managing the offering, subject to extension in connection with any earnings release or other release of material information pursuant to FINRA Rule 2711(f) to the extent applicable) and (ii) if requested by the managing underwriters, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each director and executive officer to agree not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Section 144) of any such securities during such period (except as part of such underwritten registration, if otherwise permitted); provided that the foregoing described holdback shall not apply to the extent that the managing underwriters of such offering otherwise agree or, in the event a registration statement does not relate to an underwritten offering with respect to clause (i), if the holders of a majority of such Registrable Shares consent thereto.

(b) If any Holders of Registrable Shares notify the Company in writing that they intend to effect an underwritten sale of Common Stock registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the Company agrees (i) not to effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for its equity securities, except pursuant to Excluded Registrations, during the seven (7) days prior to and during the ninety (90)-day period beginning on the filing of the prospectus supplement with respect to such offering (subject to extension in connection with any earnings release or other release of material information pursuant to FINRA Rule 2711(f) to the extent applicable); and (ii) if requested by the managing underwriters, to use

commercially reasonable efforts to cause each director and executive officer to agree not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Section 144) of any such securities during such period (except as part of such underwritten registration, if otherwise permitted); provided that the foregoing described holdback shall not apply to the extent that the managing underwriters of such offering otherwise agree.

(c) Each Holder of Registrable Shares agrees, in the event of an underwritten offering by the Company (whether for the account of the Company or otherwise), not to effect any public sale or distribution of any Registrable Shares, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such Registrable Shares, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 (except as part of such underwritten offering), during the seven (7) days prior to and ending up to ninety (90) days after the date of the final prospectus.

Section 2.5 Registration Procedures

Whenever any Holder has requested that any Registrable Shares be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall as expeditiously as possible, but subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC by the Required Filing Date a registration statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to such Registrable Shares and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable after the initial filing thereof; provided that as far in advance as practicable before filing such registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or the prospectus used in connection therewith, the Company shall furnish to the selling Holders copies, the underwriters (if any) and counsel for the underwriters (if any) of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents prepared to be filed (including exhibits and documents that are to be incorporated by reference into the registration statement, amendment or supplement), and any such Holder, underwriter (if any) and their respective counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to provide comments to any information contained therein, and the Company shall make any corrections or other amendments reasonably requested by such Holder or underwriter (if any), or their respective counsel, with respect to such information prior to filing any such registration statement, amendment or supplement;

(b) except in the case of a Shelf Registration, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, post-effective amendments, and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days (or such lesser period as is necessary for the underwriters in an underwritten offering to sell unsold allotments) and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;

(c) in the case of a Shelf Registration, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Shares subject thereto during the Effectiveness Period;

(d) furnish to each Holder selling Registrable Shares and the underwriters, if any, of the securities being registered such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), any documents incorporated by reference therein and such other documents as such Holder or underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Shares owned by such Holder or the sale of such securities by such underwriters (it being understood that, subject to this Section 2.5 and the requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Company consents to the use of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each such Holder and the underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Shares covered by the registration statement of which such prospectus, amendment or supplement is a part);

(e) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Shares under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder thereof or the managing underwriters reasonably request; use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period in which such registration statement is required to be kept effective; and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each such Holder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Shares owned by such Holder in such jurisdictions; provided that, except as may be required by the Securities Act, the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not at such time so subject or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not at such time so subject;

(f) promptly notify each Holder of such Registrable Shares and each underwriter, if any, in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed and, with respect to a registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of the issuance by any state securities or other regulatory authority of any order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Shares under state securities or “blue sky” laws or the initiation or

threat of initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; and (iii) if such registration statement or related prospectus, at the time it or any amendment thereto became effective or at any time such prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, upon the discovery by the Company of such material misstatement or omission or of the happening of any event as a result of which the Company believes there would be such a material misstatement or omission; provided that, in the case of clause (iii), promptly after delivery of such notice, the Company shall, as the case may be, (x) prepare and file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to such registration statement and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment to become effective so that such registration statement, as so amended, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (y) prepare and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter deliverable to the purchasers of such Registrable Shares, such prospectus shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(g) permit (i) any selling Holder that, in such Holder’s reasonable judgment, may be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company (in each case, within the meaning of the Securities Act) and (ii) any selling Holder holding, or representing Holders of, a majority of the Registrable Shares included in such registration statement, to participate in the preparation of such registration statement or related prospectus and reasonably incorporate any information about such Holder furnished to the Company by such Holder that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, should be included;

(h) make reasonably available senior management of the Company, as selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares included in such registration, to assist in the marketing of the Registrable Shares covered by such registration, including the participation of such members of the Company’s senior management in road show presentations and other customary marketing activities, including “one on one” meetings with prospective purchasers of the Registrable Shares to be sold in the underwritten offering and otherwise to facilitate, cooperate with, and participate in each proposed offering contemplated herein and customary selling efforts related thereto, in each case to the same extent as if the Company were engaged in a primary registered offering of its capital stock; provided that such assistance does not unduly interfere with the normal operations of the Company in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice;

(i) otherwise (i) comply in all material respects, or continue to comply in all material respects with, all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144(c)(1) or any

similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times during the term of this Agreement, (iii) file with the Commission, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act and (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to make generally available to the Company’s security holders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder, as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the twelve (12)-month period beginning with the first day of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of a registration statement, which earnings statement shall cover said twelve (12)-month period; provided that such requirement shall be deemed satisfied if the Company timely files complete and accurate information on Forms 10-Q, 10-K and 8-K under the Exchange Act as required thereby and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act;

(j) in the case of an underwritten offering, if requested by the managing underwriters or any selling Holder, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriters or such selling Holder reasonably requests to be included therein, including with respect to the Registrable Shares being sold by such selling Holder, the purchase price being paid therefor by the underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten offering of the Registrable Shares to be sold in such offering, and promptly make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

(k) cooperate with the selling Holders and the managing underwriters to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing securities sold under any registration statement, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required under applicable law, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriters or such selling Holders may request and keep available and make available to the Company’s transfer agent prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement a supply of such certificates;

(l) promptly make available for inspection by any selling Holder and any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to any registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained by any such selling Holder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement; provided that, unless the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the registration statement or the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall not be required to provide any

information under this subparagraph (l) if (i) the Company reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that to do so would cause the Company to forfeit an attorney-client privilege that was applicable to such information or (ii) if either (A) the Company has requested and been granted from the SEC confidential treatment of such information contained in any filing with the SEC or documents provided supplementally or otherwise or (B) the Company reasonably determines in good faith that such Records are confidential and so notifies the Inspectors in writing, unless prior to furnishing any such information with respect to clause (ii) such selling Holder requesting such information agrees to enter into a confidentiality agreement in customary form and subject to customary exceptions; and provided, further that each selling Holder agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action and to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential;

(m) furnish to each selling Holder and the underwriter, if any, copies of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings, and (ii) a comfort letter or comfort letters and updates thereof from the Company’s independent public accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by opinions and comfort letters by underwriters in connection with underwritten offerings as the selling Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares included in such offering or the underwriters therefor reasonably request;

(n) cause the Registrable Shares included in any registration statement to be listed on each securities exchange or national quotation system, if any, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted, and cause to be satisfied all requirements and conditions of such securities exchange or national quotation system to the listing or quoting of such securities that are reasonably within the control of the Company;

(o) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Shares registered hereunder not later than the effective date of the registration statement related thereto;

(p) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Authorities as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Shares;

(q) promptly notify each selling Holder promptly of any written comments by the SEC or any request by the SEC for the amending or supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus or for additional information;

(r) if applicable, enter into an underwriting agreement for such offering, such agreement to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to that offering, including indemnities and contribution to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 2.8 and the provision of opinion of counsel and accountants’ letters to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 2.5(n) and enter into any other such customary agreements and take all such other actions as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares covered by the registration statement or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Shares. The selling Holders shall be parties to any such underwriting agreement, and the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such selling Holders;

(s) make every reasonable effort to prevent the entry of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement and, in the event of the issuance of any such stop order, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any security included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;

(t) provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Shares not later than the effective date of the registration statement with respect thereto;

(u) in connection with an underwritten offering, make such representations and warranties to the selling Holders of such Registrable Shares and the underwriters with respect to the Registrable Shares and the registration statement as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings and deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by each seller of Registrable Shares covered by the registration statement and by the underwriters to evidence compliance with such representations and warranties and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company; and

(v) advise each selling Holder, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance or threat of issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued.

Section 2.6 Suspension of Dispositions

Each Holder agrees by acquisition of any Registrable Shares that, upon receipt of any notice (a “Suspension Notice”) from the Company of the happening of any Material Disclosure Event and an approximation of the anticipated delay, such Holder shall promptly discontinue such Holder’s disposition of Registrable Shares (but such Holder may settle any such sales of Registrable Shares) until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus, or until it is advised in writing by the Company (the “Advice”) that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company shall give any Suspension Notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of registration statements set forth in Sections 2.5(b) and 2.5(c) hereof shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of the Suspension Notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus or the Advice (such period, a “Suspension Period”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts and take such actions as are reasonably necessary to render the Advice as promptly as practicable and shall, as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the Suspension Period, (a) provide notice to each Holder that the Suspension Period has expired, (b) terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and (c) take such other actions necessary to permit registered sales of Registrable Shares as required or contemplated by this Agreement, including, if necessary, preparing and filing a post-effective amendment or supplement to the registration statement or the prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference, or filing any required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Shares included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be entitled to more than two (2) Suspension Periods during any consecutive twelve (12)-month period, which Suspension Periods shall have durations of not more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate; provided that a Suspension Period shall automatically expire upon the public disclosure of the information to which the Material Disclosure Event relates.

Section 2.7 Registration Expenses

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company shall pay all reasonable, out-of-pocket fees and expenses incident to any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration, including all expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Article 2, all registration and filing fees, all internal fees and expenses of the Company, all fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with any applicable Governmental Authority, as may be required by the rules and regulations of such Governmental Authority, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with “blue sky” qualifications of the Registrable Shares), printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Shares in a form eligible for deposit with Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested by a Holder of Registrable Shares), messenger, duplicating, distribution and delivery expenses, the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with any listing or quotation of the Registrable Shares, fees and expenses of counsel for the Company and fees

and expenses of its independent certified public accountants (including the expenses of any special audit or “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance), the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration and the reasonable fees and expenses of any one (1) counsel for all Holders participating in such registration shall be paid for by the Company, which counsel shall be selected in accordance with Section 2.1(c) or Section 2.2(c), as applicable. Any underwriting discounts, commissions, fees or stock transfer taxes attributable to the sale of the Registrable Shares shall be borne by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered whether or not any registration statement becomes effective, and the fees and expenses of any counsel, accountants, or other persons retained or employed by any Holder (other than as set forth in the preceding sentence) shall be borne by such Holder.

Section 2.8 Indemnification

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Holder of Registrable Shares, its Affiliates, any underwriter for such Holder or Affiliate, and each of their respective employees, advisors, agents, representatives, partners, members, officers and directors and each other Person who controls such seller, its securities or any such participating Person (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and any agent or investment advisor thereof (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) against, and reimburse, (i) any and all losses, claims, damages, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, other than to the extent limited by Section 2.8(c) and (d)), based upon, arising out of, related to or resulting from (A) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, any Disclosure Statement, any prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or (B) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (C) 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; (ii) any and all losses, claims, damages, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities and expenses whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon, arising out of, related to or resulting from any such untrue statement, omission or violation or alleged untrue statement, omission or violation; and (iii) any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) as may be reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon, arising out of, related to or resulting from any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, or such violation of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the extent that any such expense or cost is not paid under clauses (i) or (ii) above; except insofar as

any such statements or omissions are caused by or contained in written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder or any Covered Person specifically for inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, any Disclosure Package, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto, including any notice and questionnaire.

(b) In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder of Registrable Shares is participating pursuant to this Article 2, each Holder shall furnish to the Company such written information and affidavits regarding such Holder, the Registrable Shares and the intended distribution thereof as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Shares, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each such Holder shall indemnify the Company, and its officers and directors and each other Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and any other Holder selling Registrable Shares in such registration statement, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, other than to the extent limited by Section 2.8(c) and (d)), based upon, arising out of, related to or resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, any prospectus, preliminary prospectus, Disclosure Package or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is contained in any written information furnished by such Holder specifically stating that it has been provided for inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, Disclosure Package or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, or document incorporated by reference therein; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Shares, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Shares shall be in proportion to, and shall be limited to, the net amount of proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration statement.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights of such Person or relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) and (b) above unless and only to the extent that failure to give such notice materially prejudices the indemnifying party; and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and any indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ

separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim at the expense of such indemnified person, unless (x) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses or (y) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party when permitted hereunder, the indemnified party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense and to settle and agree to pay in full such claim without the consent of the indemnifying party without prejudice to the ability of the indemnified party to enforce its claim for indemnification against the indemnifying party hereunder.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in the preceding paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions hereof, such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise the applicable claim (i) unless (A) such settlement or compromise contains a full and unconditional release of the indemnified party and (B) such settlement or compromise does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party or (ii) if such settlement or compromise provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief, in each case, unless the indemnified party otherwise consents in writing. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one (1) counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such additional counsel or counsels.

(e) Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 2.8(a) or Section 2.8(b) are unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party and the indemnified party from the offering of Registrable Shares (taking into account the portion of the proceeds of the offering realized by each such party), or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated in this clause (ii), in such proportion as is appropriate not only to reflect the relative benefits referred to in clause (i), but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, respectively, in connection with the actions or omissions that resulted in the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such

indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders or any underwriters or all of them were treated as one (1) entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.8(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include (subject to any limitation set forth thereon) any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided in Section 2.8(c) and (d), defending any such action, proceeding or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.8(e), no Holder shall be required to contribute an amount greater than the dollar amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holder with respect to the sale of any Registrable Shares exceeds the amount of damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any and all untrue or alleged untrue statements of material fact or omissions or alleged omissions of material fact made in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, related to such sale of Registrable Shares. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations in this Section 2.8(e) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the amount of Registrable Shares registered by them and not joint and several.

If indemnification is available under this Section 2.8, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the fullest extent provided in Section 2.8(a) and Section 2.8(b) without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other equitable consideration provided for in this Section 2.8(e) subject, in the case of the Holders, to the limits set forth in Section 2.8(b).

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

(g) As used in this Section 2.8, the terms “officers” and “directors” shall include the direct or indirect partners, members or managers of Holders of Registrable Shares that are partnerships or limited liability companies, as the case may be.

Section 2.9 Transfer of Registration Rights

Provided that the Company is given prompt written notice by the Holder of Registrable Shares of any transfer of Registrable Shares by such Holder of Registrable Shares stating the name and address of the transferee of such Registrable Shares and identifying the securities with respect to which the rights under this Article 2 are being assigned, the rights of such Holder of Registrable Shares under this Article 2 may be transferred in whole or in part at any time to any such transferee, so long as such transfer of securities is in accordance with all applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, with the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, with this Agreement and the provisions of any other instruments executed by and among each of the parties hereto, and such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering a Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Joinder Agreement”). The Company shall be responsible for the expenses of registration in accordance with Section 2.7 of any transferee or assignee pursuant to this Section 2.9 to the same extent as the original transferor.

Section 2.10 Rule 144

The Company shall timely file (taking into account all valid extensions) the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, shall, upon the request of the Holders, make publicly available information substantially similar to the type of information that would be required if the Company was subject to rules under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) and shall take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, in each case to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

Section 2.11 Applicability of Rights to Holders in the Event of an Acquisition

In the event the Company merges into, consolidates with, sells substantially all of its assets to or otherwise becomes an Affiliate of a Person pursuant to a transaction or series of related transactions in which members of the Holders receive equity securities of such Person (or of any Affiliate of such Person) in exchange for shares of Common Stock held by such Holders, all of the rights of the Holders set forth in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall apply to the Person the equity securities of which are received by such Holders pursuant to such transaction or series of related transactions. The Company agrees that the Company shall not enter into any agreement that has the effect set forth in the first clause of the preceding sentence unless such Person agrees to be bound by the foregoing provision.

ARTICLE 3
TERMINATION

Section 3.1 Termination

A particular Registrable Share held by a Holder shall cease to be a Registrable Share: (a) when a registration statement covering such Registrable Share has been declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC and such Registrable Share has been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement, (b) upon the commencement of a period when the entire amount

of the Registrable Shares owned by such Holder is available to be sold in a single sale without any restriction pursuant to Rule 144 as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter, addressed to the Company’s transfer agent to such effect, or (c) when such Registrable Share is proposed to be sold or distributed by a Person not entitled to the registration rights granted by this Agreement. In connection with the preceding sentence, such Holder shall no longer be required for purposes of amending this Agreement and shall no longer be deemed a Holder of Registrable Shares for purposes of receiving any required notices hereunder.
