Other than as required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the Company’s corporate governance guidelines applicable to all of the members of such committee or such committee’s charter, no Investor Director chosen by the Investor and designated to a Board committee pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be removed from his or her position on such committee without the consent of the Investor. The Company shall cause the Board to promptly after the date hereof (and in any event prior to the earlier of (x) the first meeting of any committee of the Board after the date hereof and (y) the close of business on the tenth (10th) day after the date hereof) nominate, subject to the terms of this Section 2.02(a) and Section 2.02(b), the Initial Investor Director Designees to the committees designated in accordance with this Section 2.02(a).

(b) If at any time none of the Investor Directors meet the Committee Qualification Requirements with respect to the Audit Committee, the Investor shall have the right to select one of the Other Directors, and the Board shall take all necessary action to appoint such Other Director (subject to such Other Director’s agreement to serve and such Other Director meeting the Committee Qualification Requirements), to serve on such committee in place of an Investor Director and, at the Investor’s election, an Investor Director to serve as an observer on such committee. Such observer shall have all the rights of the other members of such committee (including the right to receive notice of such meetings and all materials provided to the Directors serving on such committee) other than the right to vote.

SECTION 2.03. Investor Directors; Chairman

(a) Unless and until there has occurred a Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights, (i) for so long as shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Investor Parties shall be entitled to appoint and elect one or more Directors to serve on the Board pursuant to Section 12(c) of the Series C Certificate of Amendment or (ii) if no shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Investor Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, (A) for so long as the 75.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is satisfied, to designate for nomination up to three (3) nominees to serve as Investor Director Designees, (B) for so long as the 75.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is not satisfied and the 50.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is satisfied, to designate for nomination up to two (2) nominees to serves as Investor Director Designees and (C) for so long as the 50.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is not satisfied and the 25.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is satisfied, to designate for nomination up to one nominee to serve as the Investor Director Designee, subject in each case to such Person’s satisfaction of the Director Qualification Standards. Thereafter, in the event that the Investor Director Designee is nominated pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall (A) include the Investor Director Designee in its slate of nominees for election to the Board at each annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected and at which the seat held by the Investor Director Designee is subject to election and (B) recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of the Investor Director Designee at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and shall otherwise support such Independent Director Designees in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees. The Company and the Board shall take all necessary actions to ensure that, at all times when an Investor Director Designee is eligible to be appointed or nominated, there are sufficient vacancies on the Board to permit such designation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor shall not be required to comply with the advance notice provisions generally applicable to the nomination of Directors by the Company so long as the Investor provides reasonable advance notice to the Company of the Director Designees prior to the mailing of the proxy statement by the Company (provided, that the Company shall provide reasonable advance notice to the Investor of the expected mailing date).

(b) For so long as the 50.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is satisfied, the Investor shall have the right to select a Director to serve as the Chairman and the Company and the Board shall take all necessary action to elect such Director as the Chairman. The Chairman shall have such rights, powers and authority as are set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the Corporate Governance Guidelines, and the right to (i) receive regular reports from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, (ii) coordinate periodic Board input and review of management’s strategic plans for the Company, (iii) assist and advise the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in connection with corporate strategy and personnel and organizational matters, (iv) lead the Board’s review of a succession plan, (v) assist and advise the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in the development and monitoring of budgets, operations and similar plans and (vi) have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the agenda of any special meeting of the Board not called by the Chairman. For such time as the Chairman has been chosen by the Investor in accordance with the terms of the first sentence of this Section 2.03(b), one of the other Directors shall be appointed by the Board as the Lead Independent Director (the “Lead Independent Director”). The Lead Independent Director shall have the right to (i) preside at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman is not present, (ii) have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on Board meeting agendas other than the agenda for any special meeting of the Board called by the Chairman, (iii) serve as a liaison between the Chairman and the Other Directors (provided that, in no event shall the Chairman be restricted from communicating directly with any Other Director), and (iv) have the authority to call special meetings of the Board and set the agenda for any such meetings.

(c) Without the prior written consent of the Investor, until such time as the Fall-Away of the Investor Board Rights has occurred, the Board shall not remove any Investor Director from his or her directorship (subject to Section 2.05). The Investor shall have the right to remove any Investor Director at any time.

(d) If any Investor Director ceases to serve on the Board for any reason (other than pursuant to Section 2.05) during his or her term (until such time as the Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights has occurred), the vacancy created thereby shall be filled, and the Company shall cause the Board to fill such vacancy, with a new Investor Director Designee and appoint such Investor Director to all committees on which the prior Director served, subject to satisfaction of the applicable Committee Qualification Requirements.

(e) Until such time as the Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights has occurred, upon the written request of the Investor, the Board shall cause the Company to call a special meeting of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock for the purpose of electing one or more Investor Directors at such time and location as the Investor may reasonably request (subject to applicable Law). The Company and the Board agree that, for so long as the Investor Parties hold any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, all annual meetings of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock (and any record date applicable thereto) will be at the same time and location as the annual meetings of the holders of Common Stock.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor Directors shall be entitled (i) to the same retainer, equity compensation and other fees or compensation, including travel and expense reimbursement, paid to the non-executive Directors for his or her service as a Director, including any service on any committee of the Board and (ii) to indemnification rights no less favorable than those provided to any other non-employee Directors (including entering into an indemnification agreement that is no less favorable than that provided to any other non-employee director in the event that the Company enters into any such agreement with another non-employee director) and in any event no less favorable than as in effect as of the Signing Date, and the Company shall maintain in full force and effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Each Investor Director shall be covered as an insured director, in such a manner as to provide each Investor Director in his or her capacity as a Director with rights and benefits under all directors’ and officers’ insurance policies no less favorable than those provided to any other non-employee Directors. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any Investor Related Party who is an officer, director or other fiduciary of the Company and its Subsidiaries (i.e., its obligations to such Person are primary and any obligation of any other Persons to which such Investor Director or its Affiliates may have rights to advancement of expenses or to indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Investor Related Party are secondary).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Bylaws, (i) notice of the time and place of any meeting of a committee of the Board on which an Investor Director serves as a member or observer shall be provided to each member of such committee at least 24 hours prior to such meeting unless such Investor Director consents to a shorter notice period therefor and (ii) until such time as the Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights has occurred, the Investor Directors shall be provided with notice of the time and place of any special meeting of the Board (whether called by the Lead Independent Director or otherwise, but other than a meeting called by an Investor-appointed Chairman) at least 24 hours prior to such meeting unless a majority of the Investor Directors otherwise consent.

(h) The Company and the Board shall take all necessary action to promptly waive the obligations for any Investor Director to comply with the “Director Stock Ownership Guideline” (as set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines), and the Company acknowledges and agrees that such obligations for the Initial Investor Director Designees have been irrevocably waived as of the date hereof.

SECTION 2.04. Independent Director Designees.

(a) If less than two Independent Director Designees shall have been jointly identified and agreed to in writing by the Company and the Investor and elected to the Board on the date hereof, the Other Directors and the Investor Directors agree to, as promptly as practicable following the Closing, jointly identify one (if only one Independent Director Designee was elected to the Board as of the Closing) or two (if no Independent Director Designees were elected to the Board as of the Closing) Independent Director Designees for election to the Board. Promptly following the identification of such Independent Director Designee(s), the Board will elect such Independent Director Designee(s) to the Board to fill the vacancy or vacancies then existing, in each case for a term that expires at the 2016 Annual Meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Following his or her election, other than as required by applicable Law or the Certificate of Incorporation, no Independent Director Designee shall be removed from the Board unless the removal of such Independent Director Designee has been approved by a majority of the Investor Director Designees. If any Independent Director Designee ceases to serve on the Board for any reason during his or her term (until such time as the Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights has occurred), the vacancy created thereby shall be filled, and the Company shall cause the Board to fill such vacancy, with a new Independent Director Designee jointly identified by the Other Directors and the Investor Directors.

(b) The Company agrees to include the Initial Independent Director Designees (and/or, if less than two Independent Director Designees have been jointly identified and agreed to by the Company and the Investor prior to the Closing, the then-serving Independent Director Designee(s)) or any other Initial Independent Director

Designee(s) jointly identified by the Other Directors and the Investor Directors on the slate of nominees recommended by the Board in the Company’s proxy statement and on its proxy card relating to the 2016 Annual Meeting. Unless and until there has occurred a Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights, from and after the 2016 Annual Meeting the Other Directors and the Investor Directors shall jointly identify two Independent Director Designees to be included on the slate of nominees recommended by the Board in the Company’s proxy statement and on its proxy card for each subsequent annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (which may or may not be the same Persons as the Initial Independent Director Designees or any replacements thereof). Unless and until there has occurred a Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights, the Company shall recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of each Independent Director Designee at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and shall otherwise support such Independent Director Designees in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees.

SECTION 2.05. Step-Downs of Investor Board Rights.

(a) If at any time the 75.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is not satisfied (but the 50.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is satisfied), then, at the written request of a majority of the Other Directors to the Investor, one of the Investor Directors, as specified by the Investor (or, if the Investor fails to do so within five Business Days of such requirement not being satisfied, as specified by a majority of the Other Directors), shall immediately resign, and the Investor Parties shall cause such Investor Director immediately to resign, from the Board effective as of the receipt of such notice.

(ii) create, incur, issue or assume any Debt, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, in excess of the greater of (A) (x) existing Funded Debt outstanding as of the date hereof (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the North America Investment Agreement) plus (y) $500,000,000, and (B) any Debt if, after giving effect to the creation, incurrence, issuance or assumption thereof on a Pro Forma Basis, the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the Test Period ended immediately preceding the incurrence of such Debt is not greater than the Applicable Total Leverage Ratio.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.08, (i) the Company may take (and the Board may authorize the Company to take) any of the actions set forth in Section 2.08(a)(iii), (iv), Sections 2.08(b)(i), (v) and (vii) and Section 2.08(c)(i), in each case for the purpose of effecting (and effective upon or following the consummation of) any merger or other business combination transaction of the Company, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any other change of control transaction of the Company, in each case that has been recommended by a majority of the Board and (ii) for purposes of the Investor’s consent right pursuant to Section 2.08(c)(ii), in connection with the exercise by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of the Company’s rights under Section 10.3(a) of the LLC Agreement, the reference to “Applicable Total Leverage Ratio” in Section 2.08(c)(ii) shall be replaced by “6.00 to 1.00.”

SECTION 2.09. Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws ; Other Governance Authorities. The Company and the Board shall take or cause to be taken all lawful action necessary to ensure at all times that the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, committee charters, Corporate Governance Guidelines, Delegation of Authority Policy, Director Qualification Standards and all Company rules, policies and guidelines applicable to Directors are consistent in all but de minimis respects with the provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

Registration Rights

SECTION 3.01. Registration. (a) Resale Shelf Registration Statement. Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file within 90 days after the date hereof a registration statement covering the sale or distribution from time to time by any Investor Party holding Registrable Securities (the “Holders”), on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, of all of the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, then such registration shall be on another appropriate form and shall provide for the registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by the Holders in accordance with any reasonable method of distribution elected by the Investor) (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”) and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts

to cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement that shall become effective upon filing with the SEC pursuant to Rule 462(e) if Rule 462(e) is available to the Company).

(b) Effectiveness Period. Once declared effective, the Company shall, subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be continuously effective and usable until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”).

(c) Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf Registration ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf Registration to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf Registration in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration or file an additional registration statement (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the Holders thereof of all securities that are Registrable Securities as of the time of such filing. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an automatic shelf registration statement that shall become effective upon filing with the SEC pursuant to Rule 462(e) if Rule 462(e) is available to the Company) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective and usable until the end of the Effectiveness Period. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be a registration statement on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form and shall provide for the registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by the Holders in accordance with any reasonable method of distribution elected by the Investor.

(d) Supplements and Amendments. The Company shall supplement and amend any Shelf Registration if required by the Securities Act or the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration.

(e) Subsequent Holder Notice. If a Person entitled to the benefits of this Agreement becomes a Holder of Registrable Securities after a Shelf Registration becomes effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall, as promptly as is reasonably practicable following delivery of written notice to the Company of such Person becoming a Holder and requesting for its name to be included as a selling securityholder in the prospectus related to the Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Holder Notice”):

(i) if required and permitted by applicable Law, file with the SEC a supplement to the related prospectus or a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration so that such Holder is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration and the related prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver a prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file more than one post-effective amendment or a supplement to the related prospectus for such purpose in any 30-day period;

(ii) if, pursuant to clause (i) above, the Company shall have filed a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration that is not automatically effective, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable; and

(iii) notify such Holder as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to clause (i) above.

(f) Underwritten Offering.

(i) Subject to any applicable restrictions on transfer in this Agreement or otherwise, the Investor may, after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, deliver a written notice to the Company (the “Underwritten Offering Notice”) specifying that the sale of some or all of the Registrable Securities subject to the Shelf Registration, is intended to be conducted through an underwritten offering (the “Underwritten Offering”); provided, however, that the Holders of Registrable Securities may not, without the Company’s prior written consent, (x) launch more than three Underwritten Offerings at the request of the Holders within any three-hundred sixty-five (365) day period, (y) launch an Underwritten Offering the anticipated gross proceeds of which shall be less than $50,000,000 (unless the Holders are proposing to sell all of their remaining Registrable Securities) or (z) launch any underwritten offering within the period commencing fourteen (14) days prior to and ending two (2) days following the Company’s scheduled earnings release date for any fiscal quarter or year.

(ii) In the event of an Underwritten Offering, the Investor shall select the managing Underwriter or Underwriters to administer the Underwritten Offering; provided that the choice of such managing underwriter(s) shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which is not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the Company, the Investor and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Underwritten Offering will enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such offering.

(iii) The Company will not include in any Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Investor. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters advise the Company and the Investor in writing that in its or their good faith opinion the number of Registrable Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering) exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering in light of market conditions or is such so as to adversely affect the success of such offering, the Company will include in such offering only such number of securities that can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (A) first, the Registrable Securities of the Holders that have requested to participate in such Underwritten Offering, allocated pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering by such Holders, and (B) second, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included.

(g) Take-Down Notice. Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, at any time that any Shelf Registration is effective, if the Investor delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to effect a sale or distribution of all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on any Shelf Registration (a “Shelf Offering”) and stating the number of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Offering, then the Company shall amend, subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, or supplement the Shelf Registration as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be sold and distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering.

SECTION 3.02. Piggyback Registration. (a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to time the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to, or otherwise commence a public, offering of its Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Stock, whether or not for sale for its own account (other than any registration statement filed (i) on Form ▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇-▇ or any substitute or successor forms or (ii) filed to effectuate an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan), the Company will promptly give to the Investor written notice of such filing or commencement, which notice shall be given, to the extent reasonably practicable, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the filing date or commencement date (the “Piggyback Notice”) to the Investor on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities.

(b) Right to Participate. The Piggyback Notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to include (or cause to be included) in such registration statement and offering the number of shares of Registrable Securities as the Investor on behalf of any such Holder may request (each, a “Piggyback Registration Statement”). Subject to Section 3.02(c), the Company shall include in each Piggyback Registration Statement all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein (each, a “Piggyback Request”) within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Piggyback Notice but in any event not later than one (1) Business Day

prior to the filing date of a Piggyback Registration Statement. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration Statement beyond the earlier of (x) 180 days after the effective date thereof and (y) consummation of the distribution by the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such registration statement.

(c) Underwriting. The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 3.01(f) or this Section 3.02 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided therein. If any of the securities to be registered pursuant to the registration giving rise to the rights under this Section 3.02 are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit Holders of Registrable Securities who have timely submitted a Piggyback Request in connection with such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities included in each Holder’s Piggyback Request on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as any other shares of capital stock, if any, of the Company included in the offering. Each Holder proposing to distribute its securities through a Piggyback Registration Statement shall (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company or by the stockholders of the Company who have the right to select the Underwriters (such underwriting agreement to be in the form negotiated by the Company or such stockholders, as the case may be). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.02, if the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering with respect to which Holders have exercised their piggyback registration rights advise the Board that in its or their good faith opinion the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the offering thereby and all other securities proposed to be sold in the offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such underwritten offering in light of market conditions, the Registrable Securities and such other securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated, (i) first, (A) in the event such offering was initiated by the Company, up to the total number of securities that the Company has requested to be included in such registration for its own account and (B) in the event such offering was initiated by holders of securities (including the Investor or the Investor Parties, as applicable) who have exercised their demand registration rights, up to the total number of securities that such holders of such securities have requested to be included in such offering, allocated pro rata among such holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering by such holders, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities of the Investor and the Investor Parties that it has or they have requested to participate in such underwritten offering, allocated pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the

percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering by such Holders; (iii) third, the Registrable Securities of the Holders, other than the Investor and the Investor Parties, that have requested to participate in such underwritten offering, allocated pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering by such Holders; and (iv) fourth, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be included in such offering. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, provided that such election is made prior to the earlier of (a) the effectiveness of the registration statement and (b) the time at which the offering price or the underwriter’s discount is determined with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters. Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting (i) may be substituted by securities held by the Holders to be included in such registration; or (ii) in the event the Holders elect not to substitute any shares, may be substituted by securities held by the Company to be included in such registration; or (iii) in the event that the Holders and the Company elect not to substitute any shares, shall be withdrawn from such registration.

(d) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company or the holders of securities who have caused Registrable Securities to be included in a registration statement pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02 to be filed as contemplated by this Section 3.02, as the case may be, shall have the right to have any registration initiated by it or them, as applicable, under this Section 3.02 terminated or withdrawn prior to the effectiveness thereof, whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

SECTION 3.03. Registration Procedures. (a) Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, in the case of each registration of Registrable Securities effected by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company will:

(i) prepare and promptly file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement;

(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as (i) reasonably requested by any Holder (to the extent such request related to information relating to such Holder) or (ii) may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the Investor’s intended method of distribution set forth in such registration statement and as may be necessary to keep the registration statement continuously effective for the period set forth in this Agreement;

(iii) respond promptly to any comments received from the SEC and request acceleration of effectiveness promptly after it learns that the SEC will not review the registration statement or after it has satisfied comments received from the SEC;

(vi) in the event that the Registrable Securities are being offered in an Underwritten Offering, furnish to the Investor and to the Underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus and final prospectus as the Investor or such Underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering or other disposition of such securities;

(vii) as promptly as reasonably practicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Investor at any time when (i) a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or of the Company’s discovery of the occurrence of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing, and, subject to Section 3.04, at the request of the Investor, prepare as promptly as is reasonably practicable and furnish to the Investor a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchaser of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing, (ii) any request by the SEC or any other regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction has been made for any

amendment of or supplement to any registration statement or other document relating to such offering, or (iii) if for any other reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act;

(viii) use reasonable best efforts to register and qualify (or exempt from such registration or qualification) the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as shall be reasonably requested in writing by the Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (A) qualify to do business in any jurisdictions where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection or (B) file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

(ix) in the event that the Registrable Securities are being offered in an underwritten public offering, enter into an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form and otherwise in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (including using commercially reasonable efforts to include (i) indemnification and contribution provisions substantially to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 3.08 and (ii) agreements as to the provision of the opinions of counsel and accountants’ letters to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 3.03(a)(xii);

(x) in connection with an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall cause its officers to use their commercially reasonable efforts to support the marketing of the Registrable Securities covered by such offering (including participation in “road shows” or other similar marketing efforts);

(xi) use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the Underwriters for sale (if such securities are being sold through Underwriters) or, solely in the case of clause (A), (D) and (E), the pricing or closing date of the applicable offering or sale (in the case of an offering with the assistance of a broker, placement agent or other agent of the Holder): (A) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Underwriter or Underwriters (in the case of an underwritten offering) or, if requested, in form and substance as is customarily given to the broker, placement agent or other agent of the Holders assisting in the sale of the Registrable Securities addressed to such broker, placement agent or other agent, if any, (B) a “negative assurances letter”, dated such date of the legal counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering; (C) a “cold comfort” and “bring-down” letter, dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified

(xiii) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities and, if requested by Underwriter(s) or the Holder, a CUSIP/ISIN number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(xiv) in connection with a customary due diligence review, make available for inspection by the Investor, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any counsel or accountants retained by the Investor or underwriter (collectively, the “Offering Persons”), at the offices where normally kept, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information and participate in customary due diligence sessions in each case reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, counsel or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that any information that is not generally publicly available at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by such Offering Persons unless (i) disclosure of such information is required by court or administrative order or in connection with an audit or examination by, or a blanket document request from, a regulatory or self-regulatory authority, bank examiner or auditor, (ii) disclosure of such information, in the reasonable judgment of the Offering Persons, is required by law or applicable legal process (including in connection with the offer and sale of securities pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC), (iii) such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a non-permitted disclosure or failure to safeguard by such Offering Persons in violation of this Agreement or (iv) such information (A) was known to such Offering Persons (prior to its disclosure by the Company) from a source other

In the case of a proposed disclosure pursuant to (i) or (ii) above, such Person shall be required to give the Company written notice of the proposed disclosure prior to such disclosure (except in the case of (ii) above when a proposed disclosure was or is to be made in connection with a registration statement or prospectus under this Agreement and except in the case of clause (i) above when a proposed disclosure is in connection with a routine audit or examination by, or a blanket document request from, a regulatory or self-regulatory authority, bank examiner or auditor);

As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, the Company will notify the Investor thereof. In the event the Company invokes an Interruption Period hereunder and in the reasonable discretion of the Company the need for the Company to continue the Interruption Period ceases for any reason, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, provide written notice to the Investor that such Interruption Period is no longer applicable.

SECTION 3.04. Suspension. (a) The Company shall be entitled on one (1) occasion in any six (6) month period, for a period of time not to exceed sixty (60) days in the aggregate in any six (6) month period and seventy-five (75) days in any twelve (12) month period to (x) defer any registration of Registrable Securities and shall have the right not to file and not to cause the effectiveness of any registration covering any Registrable Securities, (y) suspend the use of any prospectus and registration statement covering any Registrable Securities and (z) require the Holders of Registrable Securities to suspend any offerings or sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement, if the Company delivers to the Investor a certificate signed by an executive officer certifying that such registration and offering would (i) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or (ii) materially interfere with any bona fide material financing, acquisition, disposition or other similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries then under consideration. Such certificate shall contain a statement of the reasons for such suspension and an approximation of the anticipated length of such suspension. The Investor shall keep the information contained in such certificate confidential subject to the same terms set forth in Section 3.02(a)(xv).

(b) If the Company defers any registration of Registrable Securities in response to an Underwritten Offering Notice or requires the Investor or the Holders to suspend any Underwritten Offering, the Investor shall be entitled to withdraw such Underwritten Offering Notice and if it does so, such request shall not be treated for any purpose as the delivery of an Underwritten Offering Notice pursuant to Section 3.01(f).

(c) In the event that the Company shall exercise its right to delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of a registration hereunder, the applicable time period during which the registration statement is to remain effective shall be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of the total aggregated period of suspension.

SECTION 3.05. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders shall be borne by the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in any such registration.

(a) The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall, and the Investor shall cause such Holder or Holders to, furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders and their Affiliates, the Registrable Securities held by them and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders and their Affiliates as the Company or its Representatives may reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Company under Sections 3.01 and 3.02 are conditioned on the timely provisions of the foregoing information by such Holder or Holders and, without limitation of the foregoing, will be conditioned on compliance by such Holder or Holders with the following:

(ii) during such time as such Holder or Holders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a distribution of the Registrable Securities, such

Holder or Holders will, and they will cause their Affiliates to, comply with all Laws applicable to such distribution, including Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act, and, to the extent required by such Laws, will, and will cause their Affiliates to, among other things (A) not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with the securities of the Company in contravention of such Laws, (B) distribute the Registrable Securities acquired by them solely in the manner described in the applicable registration statement and (C) if required by applicable Law, cause to be furnished to each agent or broker-dealer to or through whom such Registrable Securities may be offered, or to the offeree if an offer is made directly by such Holder or Holders or their respective Affiliates, such copies of the applicable prospectus (as amended and supplemented to such date) and documents incorporated by reference therein as may be required by such agent, broker-dealer or offeree;

(iii) such Holder or Holders shall, and they shall cause their respective Affiliates to, (A) permit the Company and its Representatives to examine such documents and records and will supply in a timely manner any information as they may be reasonably requested to provide in connection with the offering or other distribution of Registrable Securities by such Holder or Holders and (B) execute, deliver and perform under any agreements and instruments reasonably requested by the Company or its Representatives to effectuate such registered offering, including opinions of counsel and questionnaires; and

(iv) on receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 3.03(a)(vii), 3.03(a)(ix)(B) or 3.03(a)(ix)(C) or that otherwise requires the suspension by such Holder or Holders and their respective Affiliates of the offering, sale or distribution of any of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, such Holders shall, and they shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cease offering, selling or distributing the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders until the offering. Sale and distribution of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders may recommence in accordance with the terms hereof and applicable Law.

SECTION 3.07. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of Rule 144 to the Holders, the Company agrees that, for so long as a Holder owns Registrable Securities, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

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

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

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to the Holder upon written request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

SECTION 3.08. Holdback Agreement. If during the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall file a registration statement (other than in connection with the registration of securities issuable pursuant to an employee stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or pursuant to a merger, exchange offer or a transaction of the type specified in Rule 145(a) under the Securities Act) with respect to an underwritten public offering of Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, such securities or otherwise informs the Investor that it intends to conduct such an offering utilizing an effective registration statement or pursuant to an underwritten Rule 144A and/or Regulation S offering and provides the Investor and each Holder the opportunity to participate in such offering in accordance with and to the extent required by Section 3.02, the Investor and each Holder shall, if requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, enter into a customary “lock-up” agreement relating to the sale, offering or distribution of Registrable Securities, in the form reasonably requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, covering the period commencing on the date of the prospectus pursuant to which such offering may be made and continuing until 60 days from the date of such prospectus or such shorter period as may be agreed by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters.

SECTION 3.09. Indemnification. (a) Indemnification by Company. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company will, with respect to any Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement or prospectus, or as to which registration or qualification or compliance under applicable “blue sky” laws has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each Holder’s current and former officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees, and each Person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and such Holder’s current and former officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees, and each Underwriter thereof, if any, and each Person who controls any such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all expenses, claims, losses, damages, costs (including costs of preparation and reasonable attorney’s fees and any legal or other fees or expenses actually incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding), judgments, fines, penalties, charges, amounts paid in settlement and other liabilities, joint or several (or actions in respect thereof) (collectively, “Losses”), to the extent arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, offering circular, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other document, in each case related to such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rules or regulations thereunder applicable to the Company and (without limiting the preceding portions of this Section 3.08) the Company will reimburse each of the Company Indemnified Parties for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal expenses and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses actually

incurred in connection with investigating, defending or, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.09, settling any such Losses or action, as such expenses are incurred; provided that the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable to a Holder in any such case for any such Losses or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a violation or alleged violation of any state or federal Law (including any claim arising out of or based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in the registration statement or prospectus) which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such Holder furnished to the Company by such Holder or its authorized representatives expressly for use in connection with such registration by or on behalf of any Holder.

(b) Indemnification by Holders. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which registration or qualification or compliance under applicable “blue sky” laws is being effected, indemnify, severally and not jointly with any other Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company, each of its Representatives, each Person who controls the Company or such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Parties”), against all Losses (or actions in respect thereof) to the extent arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, offering circular or other document, in each case related to such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each of the Holder Indemnified Parties for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal expenses and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating, defending or, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.08, settling any such Losses or action, as such expenses are incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or its authorized representatives and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 3.09(b) payable by the Investor and any Holder exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds received by each Holder in respect of the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the registration statement. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.09(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the applicable Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Notification. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.08 (each, an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party required to provide indemnification (each, an “Indemnifying

Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any proceeding as to which indemnity is sought. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party as promptly as reasonably practicable after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or proceeding, to assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or litigation, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this Section 3.09(c)) be liable to such Indemnified Party hereunder for any legal expenses and other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or litigation, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the Indemnified Party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall relieve an Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 3.08 only to the extent that the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial or harmful to such Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 3.08 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnification set forth in this Section 3.08 shall be in addition to any other indemnification rights or agreements that an Indemnified Party may have. An Indemnifying Party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any Indemnified Party a conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Party and any other Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.08 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party, other than pursuant to its terms, with respect to any Losses or action referred to therein, then, subject to the limitations contained in this Section 3.08, the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference

to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made (or omitted) by, or relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or such Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.09(d) was determined solely upon pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 3.09(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount the Investor and any Holder will be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 3.09(d) will be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by the Investor and each Holder (in the aggregate) in respect of the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the registration statement which gives rise to such obligation to contribute. 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.

SECTION 3.10. Termination of Registration Rights. The rights of any particular Holder to cause the Company to register securities under Article III shall terminate with respect to such Holder upon the date upon which such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The registration rights contained in this Article III shall terminate on the date on which all shares of Common Stock issuable (or actually issued) to any of the Investor Parties upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock cease to be Registrable Securities.

(b) other than solely with respect to class votes of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, make, knowingly encourage or participate in any “solicitation” of “proxies”, as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the SEC promulgated under Section 14 of the Exchange Act, in order to (i) vote, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to the voting of, any Voting Stock of the Company (other than, in each case, in a manner that is not inconsistent with the Board’s recommendation in connection with such matter), (ii) call or seek to call a meeting of the Company’s stockholders or initiate any stockholder proposal for action by the Company’s stockholders or (iii) seek election to, or to place a Representative on, the Board or seek the removal of any Director from the Board (other than, in each case, any Investor Director or Independent Acting Director in accordance with this Agreement);

(c) effect, publicly offer or publicly propose or make any public announcement with respect to, or solicit or submit a proposal (public or otherwise) for, any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, recapitalization, reorganization, purchase or license of all or a material portion of the assets, properties or Equity Securities of or other similar extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities (any such transaction, an “Extraordinary Transaction”) or enter into any discussions, negotiations, arrangements, understandings or agreements (whether written or oral) with any other Person regarding any of the foregoing;

(d) enter into any discussions, negotiations, arrangements or understandings with any Person (including security holders of the Company, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Investor and its Affiliates) or form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any Voting Stock (other than a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) composed of the Investor Parties) or otherwise in connection with any of the actions prohibited by this Section 4.01;

(g) take any action that would, in effect, require the Company to make a public announcement regarding the possibility of a transaction or any of the events described in this Section 4.01;

(h) contest the validity of this Section 4.01 or make, initiate, take or participate in any Action or proposal to amend, waive, terminate or seek a release of the restrictions contained herein (whether by legal action or otherwise); or

(i) request the Company, directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provisions of this Section 4.01;

provided, however that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.01, (i) the Investor and its Affiliates may at any time (A) initiate and engage in private discussions with, and submit non-public, confidential proposals to, the Board (or any committee or other designee thereof) regarding any Extraordinary Transaction, so long as such proposals do not require public disclosure and the making of such proposal would not reasonably be expected to require the Company to make a public announcement of its receipt, (B) make a confidential request to the Company seeking an amendment or waiver of this Section 4.01, which a majority of the Other Directors may accept or reject in their sole discretion, so long as the making of such request would not reasonably be expected to require the Company to make a public announcement of its receipt and (C) engage in discussions or negotiations regarding, enter into, consummate or take any other action in furtherance of any transaction with any Person related to a recapitalization, reorganization or restructuring of any Debt of the Company or its Subsidiaries, including with respect to the conversion of any debt securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries held by the Investor or its Affiliates into Equity Securities and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, (A) (x) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the North America Investment Agreement and (y) the Investor’s exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations under any other “Transaction Document” (as defined in the North American Investment Agreement) shall not be deemed violations of this Section 4.01 and (B) nothing in this Section 4.01 shall limit (x) any Investor Party’s ability to vote (subject to Section 2.07), Transfer (subject to Section 5.01) or otherwise exercise rights under its Common Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or (y) the ability of any Investor Director to vote or otherwise exercise its fiduciary duties as a member of the Board. Nothing in this Section 4.01 shall restrict the Investor from designating any Investor Designee or

Independent Director Designee in accordance with this Agreement or taking any action to cause such Investor Designee or Independent Director Designee to be appointed to the Board (or any committee thereof) or the actions of any Investor Director in his or her capacity as Chairman or similar office or position), including in respect of such Director’s participation in Board and Board committee meetings and votes on and discussions regarding matters at such meetings, and influencing officers, employees, agents, management or other Directors in his or her capacity as such, and otherwise exercising such Investor Director’s fiduciary duties.

In the event that the Company enters into any Specified Agreement that contains standstill provisions on terms (other than terms regarding the length of such standstill restrictions) that are more favorable in any material respect to such Person than the provisions set forth in this Article IV are to the Investor Parties, then this Article IV shall automatically be amended to provide for such more favorable terms.

ARTICLE VI

(a) For the purposes of this Section 6.01, “Excluded Issuance” shall mean (i) the issuance of shares of any Equity Securities (including upon exercise of options) to directors, officers, employees, consultants or other agents of the Company as approved by the Board in connection with their employment or performance of services, (ii) the issuance of shares of Equity Securities in connection with any “business combination” (as defined in the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC) or otherwise in connection with bona fide acquisitions of securities or substantially all of the assets of another Person, business unit, division or business, in each case, to the sellers in such transaction as consideration thereof, (iii) the issuance of any securities pursuant to the conversion, exercise or exchange of Series C Preferred Stock issued to the Investor or Series D Preferred Stock, (v) the issuance of any securities as payment of a dividend pursuant to the Series C Certificate of Amendment or the Series D Certificate of Amendment, (vi) the issuance of any shares of a Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or (vii) the issuance of any securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into Common Stock, if the conversion or exercise price is at least as great as the fair market value of the Common Stock, pursuant to a bona fide, broadly distributed underwritten public offering.

(b) Until the occurrence of the Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights, if the Company proposes to issue Equity Securities of any kind, other than in an Excluded Issuance, then the Company shall:

(i) give written notice to the Investor Parties (no less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the closing of such issuance or, if the Company reasonably expects such issuance to be completed in less than seven (7) Business Days, such shorter period (which shall not be less than (3) Business Days, and which shall be as long as commercially practicable), setting forth in reasonable detail (A) the designation and all of the material terms and provisions of the securities proposed to be issued (the “Proposed Securities”), including, to the extent applicable, the voting powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof and interest rate and maturity, (B) the price and other terms of the proposed sale of such securities and (C) the amount of such securities proposed to be issued; provided, that following the delivery of such notice, the Company shall deliver to the Investor Parties any such information the Investor Parties may reasonably request in order to evaluate the proposed issuance, except that, in connection with a public offering, the Company shall not be required to deliver any information that has not been or will not be provided or otherwise made available to the proposed purchasers of the Proposed Securities; and

(ii) offer to issue and sell to the Investor Parties, on such terms as the Proposed Securities are issued and upon full payment by the Investor Parties, a portion of the Proposed Securities equal to a percentage determined by dividing

(A) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, on an as converted basis, by the Investor Parties, by (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the Proposed Securities, on an as-converted basis; provided that if an issuance of Proposed Securities would result in an adjustment to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 10 of the Series C Certificate of Amendment, those shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by an Investor Party that will receive the benefit of such adjustment shall be excluded from the foregoing sub-clause (A) (subject to actually receiving the benefit of such adjustment); provided, further, that, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.01(f), the Company shall not be required to offer to issue or sell to the Investor Parties (or to any of them) the portion of the Proposed Securities that would require the Company to obtain stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of any Proposed Securities under the listing rules of the NYSE or any other securities exchange or any other applicable Law (to the extent not obtained pursuant to Section 6.01(f)).

(c) The Investor will have the option, on behalf of the applicable Investor Parties, exercisable by written notice to the Company, to accept the Company’s offer and commit to purchase any or all of the Equity Securities offered to be sold by the Company to the Investor Parties, which notice must be given within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice from the Company (or such shorter period if the notice by the Company was sent in accordance with the preceding paragraph less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date, and in no event less than two (2) Business Days) (the failure of the Investors to respond within such time period shall be deemed a waiver of the Investor Parties’ rights under this Section 6.01 with respect to the applicable issuance of Equity Securities). If the Company offers two or more securities in units to the other participants in the offering, the Investor Parties must purchase such units as a whole and will not be given the opportunity to purchase only one of the securities making up such unit. The closing of the exercise of such subscription right shall take place simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Proposed Securities giving rise to such subscription right; provided, however, that the closing of any purchase by any such Investor Party may be extended beyond the closing of the sale of the Proposed Securities giving rise to such preemptive right to the extent necessary to (i) obtain required approvals from any Governmental Entity or (ii) permit the Investor Parties to receive proceeds from calling capital pursuant to commitments made by its (or its Affiliated investment funds’) limited partners. Upon the expiration of the offering period described above, the Company will be free to sell such Proposed Securities that the Investor Parties have not elected to purchase during the 90 days following such expiration on terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Investor Parties in the notice delivered in accordance with Section 6.01(b). Any Proposed Securities offered or sold by the Company after such 90-day period must be reoffered to issue or sell to the Investor Parties pursuant to this Section 6.01; provided that, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.01(f), the Company shall not be required to reoffer to the Investor Parties (or to any of them) a number of the Proposed Securities that would require the Company to obtain stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of any Proposed Securities under the listing rules of the NYSE or any other securities exchange or any applicable Law (to the extent not obtained pursuant to Section 6.01(f)).

(d) The election by the Investor on behalf of any Investor Party not to exercise its subscription rights under this Section 6.01 in any one instance shall not affect their right as to any subsequent proposed issuance.

(e) In the case of an issuance subject to this Section 6.01 for consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board.

(f) In the event that the Company is not required to offer or reoffer to the Investor Parties any Proposed Securities because such issuance would require the Company to obtain stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of any Proposed Securities under the listing rules of the NYSE or any other securities exchange or any other applicable Law, the Company shall provide written notice of such proposed issuance to the Investor Parties pursuant to Section 6.01(b)(i) (which notice shall include a description of the Proposed Securities (including the number thereof) that would require stockholder approval in respect of the issuance thereof), and the Company shall, upon the Investor Parties’ reasonable request delivered to the Company in writing within no later than seven (7) Business Days following its receipt of the written notice of such issuance to the Investor Parties pursuant to Section 6.01(b)(i), at the Investor Parties’ election:

(i) waive the restrictions set forth in Section 4.01 solely to the extent necessary to permit any Investor Party to acquire such number of Equity Securities (including Common Stock) equivalent to its Participation Portion of the Proposed Securities such Investor Party would have been entitled to purchase had it been entitled to acquire such Proposed Securities pursuant to Section 6.01(b) (provided, that such request by Investor Parties shall not be deemed to be a violation of Section 4.01(i));

(ii) consider and discuss in good faith modifications proposed by the Investor Parties to the terms and conditions of such portion of the Proposed Securities which would otherwise be issued to the Investor Parties such that the Company would not be required to obtain stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of such Proposed Securities as so modified; and/or

(iii) solely to the extent that stockholder approval is required in connection with the issuance of Equity Securities to Persons other than Investor Parties, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to seek stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of any Proposed Securities to the Investor Parties.

SECTION 7.02. Confidentiality. Each Investor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, keep confidential any information (including oral, written and electronic information) concerning the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates that may be furnished to the Investor Parties or their respective Affiliates or Representatives by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Representatives pursuant to this Agreement (collectively referred to as the “Confidential Information”), provided that the Confidential Information shall not include information that (a) was or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Investor Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives in violation of this Section 7.02, (b) was or becomes available to the Investor Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives from a source other than the Company or its Representatives, provided that such source is believed by the Investor Parties not to be disclosing such information in violation of an obligation of confidentiality (whether by agreement or otherwise) to the Company or any of its Affiliates, (c) at the time of disclosure is already in the possession of the Investor Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, provided that such information is believed by the Investor Parties not to be subject to an obligation

Each of the Investor Parties agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and Representatives, that Confidential Information may be disclosed solely (i) to the Related Investment Funds, the Investor Party’s Affiliates and their respective Representatives on a need-to-know basis or (ii) in the event that the Investor Party, any of its Affiliates, the Related Investment Funds or any of its or their respective Representatives are requested or required by applicable Law, Judgment or by a Governmental Entity (including by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, summons or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, in each of which instances, to the extent permissible by applicable Law and reasonably practicable, such Investor Party, its Affiliates, the Related Investment Funds and their respective Representatives, as the case may be, shall provide notice to the Company sufficiently in advance of any such disclosure so that the Company shall have a reasonable opportunity to timely seek to limit, condition or quash such disclosure; and, provided, that, with respect to any Related Investment Fund receiving Confidential Information hereunder (i) such Related Investment Fund will agree (with the Company as an express third party beneficiary of such agreement) to be bound by the terms of this Section 7.02 as though it were a party hereto and (ii) the Investor will remain liable for any breaches by the Related Investment Funds of this Section 7.02.

SECTION 8.02. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom such amendment or waiver shall be enforced. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to the conflicts of law principles of such state.

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the courts described in Section 8.04(c), without proof of damages or otherwise (in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8.04) (and each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.04 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, or that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law.

(c) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any demand, action, suit, countersuit, arbitration, inquiry, proceeding or investigation by or before any Governmental Entity or any arbitration or mediation tribunal (“Action”) or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such Action or proceeding in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(d) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES

SECTION 8.05. Interpretation. (a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning as the word “shall”. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The words “date hereof” shall refer to the date of this Agreement. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and shall not simply mean “if”. All references to “$” mean the lawful currency of the United States of America. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term, and references to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include other gender. Except as specifically stated herein, any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Except as otherwise specified herein, references to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. Each of the parties hereto has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) For purposes of determining beneficial ownership, the Investor Parties may rely on the Company’s most recent publicly available Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K to determine the number of issued and outstanding Equity Securities of the Company at any given time and any Person’s beneficial ownership percentage, unless the Company provides written notice to the Investor with an updated number of Equity Securities of the Company then issued and outstanding.

(c) In the event that the Common Stock is listed on a National Securities Exchange other than the NYSE, all references herein to NYSE rules shall be deemed to be to the most comparable rule applicable to such other National Securities Exchange and all references to NYSE shall be deemed to be such other National Securities Exchange, in each case, mutatis mutandis. In the event that the Common Stock is listed on both the NYSE and any other securities exchange, the Company and the Investor shall cooperate to make any amendments to this Agreement reasonably requested by the other party; provided, that in no event shall the Investor be required to accept any changes that would result from any shares Capital Stock beneficially owned by any Investor Party being listed on any exchange other than a National Securities Exchange.

SECTION 8.06. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced because of any Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse in any material respect to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

SECTION 8.07. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth in Section 3.08, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, whether as third party beneficiary or otherwise.

SECTION 8.08. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by any party hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Company shall be permitted to assign this Agreement and its rights, interests and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of any other party hereto to the successor or surviving entity in any merger, business combination or other transaction involving a change of control of the Company and (b) this Section 8.08 shall not prohibit any Transfer permitted under Section 5.02; provided, further, that in the event of any such assignment pursuant to clause (b), the Investor will remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.09. Termination.

(a) Automatic Termination. Other than the termination provisions applicable to particular Sections of this Agreement that are specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate, subject to Section 8.09(b), (i) upon the mutual written agreement of the Company and the Investor and (ii) at such time when the Investor Parties no longer beneficially own shares of Capital Stock.

(b) Survival. In the event that this Agreement shall terminate, all provisions of this Agreement shall terminate and shall be void, except Section 7.02 and Articles I and VIII and shall survive any such termination indefinitely. The termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liability for any breach by a party of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.10. Entire Agreement, etc. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto), together with the Series C Certificate of Amendment, the Series D Certificate of Amendment and the Investment Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, that nothing herein shall limit, restrict, prevent or supersede the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the North American Investment Agreement), or serve as a consent or waiver thereunder.
