The Holder acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Holder has been furnished with all materials it considers relevant to making an investment decision to enter into the Transactions and has had the opportunity to review the Company’s filings and submissions with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including, without limitation, all information filed or furnished pursuant to the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Public Filings”), and (b) the Holder has had the opportunity to ask questions of the Company concerning the Company, its business, operations, financial performance, financial condition and prospects and the terms and conditions of the Transactions, (c) the Holder has had the opportunity to consult with its accounting, tax, financial and legal advisors to be able to evaluate the risks involved in the Transactions and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such Transactions, (d) the Holder has evaluated the tax and other consequences of the Transactions and receipt and ownership of the Consideration, as applicable, with its tax, accounting or legal advisors, (e) the Company is not acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment advisor to the Holder and (f) the Holder is not relying, and none have relied, upon any statement, advice (whether accounting, tax, financial, legal or other), representation or warranty made by the Company or any of its Affiliates or representatives except for (i) the Public Filings and (ii) the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement. Each of the Undersigned and such Holder is able to fend for itself in the Transactions, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its prospective investment in the Holder New Notes and the Equity Consideration; has the ability to bear the economic risks of its prospective investment and can afford the complete loss of such investment; and acknowledges that investment in the Holder New Notes and the Equity Consideration involves a high degree of risk.

Section 2.8 Acknowledgements. The Undersigned acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself and such Holder that there is no assurance that a public market will exist or continue to exist for the New Notes. Such Holder acknowledges that neither the issuance of the New Notes pursuant to the Transactions nor the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any of the New Notes (the “Conversion Shares”) or the exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) has been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and the New Notes and any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are being offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions provided in the Securities Act and state securities laws for transactions not involving any public offering and, therefore, cannot be sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered and qualified under the Securities Act and applicable state laws or unless an exemption from such registration and qualification is available.

Section 2.9 Taxpayer Information. Such Holder will deliver to the Company a complete and accurate IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN E or W-8ECI, as appropriate.

After the Company has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Company diligently pursues such

13

defense, the Company shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, or if the Indemnified Party has, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of such Indemnified Party and any other party being represented by such counsel selected by the Company, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select its own counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the documented expenses and fees of one such counsel (in addition to any necessary local counsel) and other documented expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Company as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (x) the Company shall not settle any Third-Party Claim under which indemnification may be sought hereunder without the consent of the applicable Indemnified Parties unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete, unconditional and irrevocable release from liability of, and does not include any statement or admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party and (y) the Company shall not be liable for any settlement entered into by an Indemnified Party without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

If the indemnification provided in the preceding paragraph is insufficient, not permitted by applicable law or is judicially determined to be unavailable, then in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person hereunder, the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of any applicable losses and expenses.

Section 5.3 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company nor its Affiliates shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Party to the extent of any Losses that are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or from a claim solely among the Indemnified Parties. To the extent that the Company or its Affiliates have provided indemnification pursuant to this Article V prior to any such determination by a court of competent jurisdiction, each Indemnified Party so determined to have suffered such non-indemnifiable Losses shall promptly refund to the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, any amounts so advanced by the Company or its Affiliates.

Section 5.4 Release. In consideration for the agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement, the Company, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, knowingly, voluntarily and unconditionally releases and forever discharges from and for, and covenants not to sue, each Indemnified Party for any and all actions or inactions arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the Transactions that the Company has or may have, now or in the future; provided, however, that this Section 5.4 will not apply to any claims against any Holder with respect to a breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any rights of the Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Section 6.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any documents and agreements executed in connection with the Transactions embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous oral or written agreements, representations, warranties, contracts, correspondence, conversations, memoranda and understandings between or among the parties or any of their agents, representatives or Affiliates relative to such subject matter, including, without limitation, any term sheets, emails or draft documents.

This Agreement shall in all respects be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the State of New York, without reference to its choice of law rules. Each of the Company and the Undersigned, on behalf of itself and on behalf of each Holder, irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury with respect to any legal proceeding arising out of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may make

15

disclosures to an auditor or governmental or regulatory authority pursuant to any routine investigation, inspection, examination or inquiry without providing the Holder with any notification thereof, unless the Holder is the subject of any such investigation, inspection, examination or inquiry (in which case the preceding sentence shall govern).

All waivers under this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is to be enforced.
