(ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act by the Commission not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date hereof (the “Effectiveness Target Date”); and

(iii) use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the Securities Act and by the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that (A) it is available for resales by the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities entitled, subject to Section 2(b), to the benefit of this Agreement and (B) it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement and the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder as announced from time to time, for a period (the “Effectiveness Period”) from the date the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission until the date when the Notes and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof have ceased to be Transfer Restricted Securities.

The Company shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Effectiveness Period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities not being able to offer and sell such securities at any time during the Effectiveness Period, unless such action is (x) required by applicable law or otherwise undertaken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the Company’s obligations hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets, and (y) permitted by Section 4(b)(ii) hereof.

(b) No less than thirty (30) days prior to the Effectiveness Target Date, the Company shall mail the Notice and Questionnaire to the Holders. At the time the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, each Holder that became a Notice Holder on or prior to the date twenty (20) days prior to such time of effectiveness shall be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with applicable law. None of the Company’s securityholders (other than the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities) shall have the right to include any of the Company’s securities in the Shelf Registration Statement.

(c) If the Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness

Period (other than because all Transfer Restricted Securities registered thereunder shall have been resold pursuant thereto or shall have otherwise ceased to be Transfer Restricted Securities), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file an additional Shelf Registration Statement covering all of the securities that as of the date of such filing are Transfer Restricted Securities (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as is practicable after such filing and to keep such Registration Statement (or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) continuously effective until the end of the Effectiveness Period.

(e) The Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of the date thereof (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

(f) Each Holder agrees that if such Holder wishes to sell Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus, it will do so only in accordance with this Section 2(f) and Section 4(b). Each Holder wishing to sell Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus agrees to deliver a Notice and Questionnaire to the Company at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to any intended distribution of Transfer Restricted Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement. From and after the date the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable after the date a Notice and Questionnaire is delivered to it, and in any event upon the later of (x) twenty (20) Business Days after such date (but no earlier than twenty (20) Business Days after effectiveness) or (y) twenty (20) Business Days after the expiration of any Suspension Period in effect when the Notice and Questionnaire is delivered or put into effect within twenty (20) Business Days of such delivery date:

(i) if required by applicable law, file with the Commission a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or prepare and, if required by applicable law, file a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or

file any other required document so that the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with applicable law and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is practicable, but in any event by the date (the “Amendment Effectiveness Deadline Date”) that is twenty (20) Business Days after the date such post-effective amendment is required by this clause to be filed;

(ii) provide such Holder copies of the documents filed pursuant to Section 2(e)(i); and

(iii) notify such Holder as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 2(e)(i); provided that if such Notice and Questionnaire is delivered during a Suspension Period, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and shall take the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon expiration of the Suspension Period in accordance with Section 4(b). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) the Company shall be under no obligation to name any Holder that is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in any Registration Statement or related Prospectus and (ii) the Amendment Effectiveness Deadline Date shall be extended by up to ten (10) Business Days from the Expiration of a Suspension Period (and the Company shall incur no obligation to pay Additional Amounts during such extension) if such Suspension Period shall be in effect on the Amendment Effectiveness Deadline Date.

(each such event referred to in foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), a “Registration Default”), the Company hereby agrees to pay interest (“Additional Amounts”) with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities from and including the day following the Registration Default to but excluding the earlier of (1) the day on which the Registration Default has been cured and (2) the date the Shelf Registration Statement is no longer required to be kept effective, accruing at a rate:

(1) in respect of the Notes, to each holder of Notes, (x) with respect to the first 90-day period during which a Registration Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to 0.25% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, and (y) with respect to the period commencing on the 91st day following the day the Registration Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to 0.50% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes; provided that in no event shall Additional Amounts accrue at a rate per annum exceeding 0.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes; and

(2) in respect of the Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities submitted for conversion into cash and Common Stock, if any, during the existence of a Registration Default with respect to the Common Stock, the holder will not be entitled to receive any Additional Amounts with respect to such Common Stock but will receive from the Company on the settlement date with respect to such conversion, accrued and unpaid Additional Amounts to the holders of such Notes calculated in accordance with paragraph (A) to the Conversion Date (as defined in the Indenture) relating to such settlement date; and

(3) in respect of Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion of Notes, each holder of such Common Stock will not be entitled to any Additional Amounts if the Registration Default with respect to such Common Stock occurs after the holder has converted the Notes into Common Stock.

(h) All accrued Additional Amounts shall be paid in arrears to Record Holders by the Company on each Additional Amounts Payment Date. Upon the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular Note, the accrual of Additional Amounts with respect to such Note will cease.

All obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 3 that are outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer

Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such Transfer Restricted Security shall have been satisfied in full.

The Additional Amounts set forth above shall be the exclusive monetary remedy available to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities for each Registration Default.

(ii) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus and any applicable Issuer Free Writing Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus.

If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that was current at the time of receipt of such Suspension Notice.

(d) Each Holder agrees by acquisition of Transfer Restricted Securities, that no Holder shall be entitled to sell any of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement; or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto, unless such

Holder has furnished the Company with a Notice and Questionnaire as required pursuant to Section 2(f) hereof (including the information required to be included in such Notice and Questionnaire) and the information set forth in the next sentence. The Company may require each Notice Holder of Notes to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such Notes as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in such Registration Statement. Each Notice Holder agrees promptly to furnish to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Notice Holder not misleading and any other information regarding such Notice Holder and the distribution of such Transfer Restricted Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. The Company may exclude from such Shelf Registration Statement the Notes of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.

4. Registration Expenses.

All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement shall be borne by the Company regardless of whether a Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation:

(a) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made with the NASD);

(b) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws;

(c) all expenses of printing (including printing of Prospectuses, Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses and certificates for any Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Notes) and the Company’s expenses for messenger and delivery services and telephone;

(d) all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Company;

(e) all application and filing fees in connection with listing (or authorizing for quotation) the Common Stock on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements hereof; and

(f) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company.

The Company shall bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of their officers and employees performing legal, accounting or other duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company. The Company shall pay all expenses customarily borne by issuers in an underwritten offering as set forth in Section 8(c) hereof, and excluding underwriting discounts and commissions.

5. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (including the Initial Purchaser), its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Holder”), against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense relating to resales of the Transfer Restricted Securities) (collectively, “Losses”), to which such Indemnified Holder may become subject, insofar as any such Loss arises out of or is based upon:

(i) any (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) the Shelf Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or (B) any blue sky application or other document or any amendment or supplement thereto prepared or executed by the Company (or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company expressly for use in such blue sky application or other document or amendment or supplement) filed in any jurisdiction specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities law of any state or other jurisdiction (such application or document being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”), or, in each case, the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or

(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,

and to reimburse each Indemnified Holder for any and all expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Holder in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such Loss; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any Loss to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder (or its related Indemnified Holder) expressly for use therein. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

The Company also agrees to indemnify as provided in this Section 6(a) or contribute as provided in Section 6(e) hereof to Losses of each underwriter, if any, of Notes registered under a Shelf Registration Statement, their directors, officers, employees or agents and each person who controls such underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Initial Purchaser and the selling Holders provided in this Section 6(a) and shall, if requested by

any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section 4(b)(xxvii) hereof.

(b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who sign the Shelf Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (i) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each such Holder, but only with reference to written information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity and (ii) against any Loss, joint or several, including, but not limited to, any Loss relating to resales of the Transfer Restricted Securities, to which such person may become subject, insofar as any such Loss arises out of, or is based upon any Free Writing Prospectus used by such Holder without the prior consent of the Issuer, and in connection with any underwritten offering, the underwriters, provided that the indemnification obligation in this clause (ii) shall be several and not joint among the Holders who used such Free Writing Prospectus. This indemnity agreement set forth in this Section shall be in addition to any liabilities which any such Holder may otherwise have.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof

unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (other than local counsel), reasonably approved by the indemnifying party, representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) The indemnifying party under this Section shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be withheld unreasonably, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 6(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 is for any reason unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Loss referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any Loss referred to therein:

(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from the offering and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities, on the one hand, and a Holder with respect to the sale by such Holder of the Transfer Restricted Securities, on the other hand, or

(ii) if the allocation provided by Section (6)(e)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in Section 6(e)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in

connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such Loss, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with such offering and such sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes purchased under the Purchase Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total proceeds received by the Holders with respect to their sale of Transfer Restricted Securities. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Holders, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(e).

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Loss referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, in no event will (i) any Holder be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 6 for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Holder from the sale of such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement under which such Transfer Restricted Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act and (ii) any underwriter be required to undertake liability to any person hereunder for any amounts in excess of the discount or commission payable to such underwriter with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 6(e) are several and not joint.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6 shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof, and will survive the sale by a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities.

6. Rule 144A and Rule 144. The Company agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted

Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

7. Underwritten Registrations.

(a) Any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities who desires to do so may sell Transfer Restricted Securities (in whole or in part) in an underwritten offering; provided that (i) the Holders of at least 33-1/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities then covered by the Shelf Registration Statement shall request such an offering and (ii) at least such aggregate principal amount of such Transfer Restricted Securities shall be included in such offering; and provided further that the Company shall not be obligated to participate in more than one underwritten offering during the Effectiveness Period. Upon receipt of such a request, the Company shall provide all Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities written notice of the request, which notice shall inform such Holders that they have the opportunity to participate in the offering. If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Managing Underwriters shall be selected by the Majority of Holders, subject to the approval of the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b) No person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s Notes on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; and (iii) if such Holder is not then a Notice Holder, such Holder returns a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company in accordance with Section 2(f) hereof within a reasonable amount of time before such underwritten offering.

(c) The Holders participating in any underwritten offering shall be responsible for any underwriting discounts and commissions and fees and, subject to Section 5 hereof, expenses of their own counsel. The Company shall pay all expenses customarily borne by issuers in an underwritten offering, including but not limited to filing fees, the fees and disbursements of its counsel and independent public accountants and any printing expenses incurred in connection with such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of Section 4(b)(xxv) hereof, upon receipt of a request from the Managing Underwriter or a representative of holders of a majority of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be included in an underwritten offering to prepare and file an amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus in connection with an underwritten offering, the Company may delay the filing of any such amendment or supplement for up to ninety (90) days if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith that the Company has a bona fide business reason for such delay.

8. Miscellaneous.

(a) Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Holder represents that it has not prepared or had prepared on its behalf or used or referred to, and agrees that it will not prepare or have prepared on its behalf or use or refer to, any Free Writing Prospectus, and has not distributed and will not distribute any written materials in connection with the offer or sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities without the prior express written consent of the Company and, in connection with any underwritten offering, the underwriters. Any such Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Company and, if applicable, the underwriters, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents and agrees that it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and recordkeeping.

(b) Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 2 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchaser or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely, and that, in the event of any such failure, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided to it herein, in the Indenture or in the Purchase Agreement or granted by law, including recovery of liquidated or other damages, the Initial Purchaser or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Section 2 hereof. The Company further agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(c) Actions Affecting Transfer Restricted Securities. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as a class that would adversely affect the ability of the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities to include such Transfer Restricted Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not, as of the date hereof, entered into, nor shall it, on or after the date hereof, enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. In addition, the Company shall not grant to any of its securityholders (other than the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities in such capacity) the right to include any of its securities in the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in this Agreement other than the Transfer Restricted Securities.

(e) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of a Majority of Holders; provided, however, that with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly adversely affects the rights of the Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of the Initial Purchaser against which such amendment,

qualification, supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing (except the foregoing proviso), a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and does not directly or indirectly adversely affect the rights of other Holders, may be given by the Majority of Holders, determined on the basis of Notes being sold rather than registered under such Shelf Registration Statement.

(f) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, first class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), facsimile transmission, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

The Company agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against the Company brought by any Holder or the Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of any Holder or the Initial Purchaser, or by any person who controls any Holder or the Initial Purchaser, arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any State or U.S. federal court in The City of New York and County of New York, and waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding.

(j) Notes Held by the Company or Their Affiliates. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Transfer Restricted Securities is required hereunder, Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holding of such Notes) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

(k) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

(l) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

(m) Severability.

(n) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein.
