The Company agrees to keep Elevation reasonably informed on a prompt basis of the status of and any developments regarding any potential Proposed Transfer, including any proposed terms of such Proposed Transfer and the identity of any prospective transferee, and will

provide Elevation with drafts of all agreements proposed to be entered into and Disclosure Documents proposed to be delivered with respect to any Proposed Transfer. All such agreements will be provided to Elevation as early as reasonably practicable under the circumstances (and in any event at least five (5) Business Days prior to execution of such agreements) and shall be subject to Elevation’s review and reasonable comment, which shall be completed as soon as practicable, but in any event prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period.

All agreements and arrangements to be entered into by Elevation with respect to such Proposed Transfer must be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Elevation and conform to the requirements provided in this Section 2.3. If and to the extent the purchase price payable in respect of any transferred Unit exceeds the Minimum Proceeds (such amount, an “Excess Payment”) then the terms of such Proposed Transfer shall provide that such Excess Payment shall be payable directly to the Company or, to the extent such terms do not so provide, the Transfer Request shall include the wire transfer information as to the account of the Company to which Elevation shall pay such Excess Payment and upon receipt thereof Elevation shall immediately transfer the Excess Payment to the Company to such account.

          (b) In furtherance of any Proposed Transfer with respect to which a Transfer Request has been delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, Elevation agrees to take the following actions to the extent necessary to effect the Proposed Transfer pursuant to the Transfer Request: (i) enter into customary agreements providing for the transfer of the relevant securities, including a customary underwriting agreement to the extent applicable, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Elevation, and provided that any such agreements (1) shall contain no representations and warranties by Elevation other than as to Elevation’s execution, delivery and performance of such agreements, ownership and title to the securities to be transferred and information provided for inclusion in any offering documentation to the extent such information was provided in writing by Elevation and stated to be specifically for use therein, and (2) shall provide that Elevation shall have no liability with respect to such Proposed Transfer or such agreements except to the extent it breaches such representations and warranties or fails to fulfill its obligation to transfer the securities being sold thereunder in breach of the agreement, (ii) agree to “market-standoff” or lockup obligations in customary form provided that any such obligation expires on or before the Restricted Period Termination Date (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement), and (iii) enter

into a customary power-of-attorney and custody arrangement in connection with such Proposed Transfer to the extent necessary. The obligation of Elevation to effect any Proposed Transfer is subject to: (A) the representation and warranty of the Company contained in the last sentence of Section 2.3(c) being true and correct in all respects; (B) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 3.1, Section 3.6(e), the fourth sentence of Section 3.8, Section 3.9(a), Section 3.24 and Section 3.25 being true and correct in all material respects as of the date of consummation of any Proposed Transfer, and the Company shall deliver Elevation a certificate certifying to such effect, validly executed for and on behalf of the Company by a duly authorized officer of the Company; (C) Elevation’s reasonable satisfaction that the Company has complied with, and that the Proposed Transfer will comply with, all applicable state and federal securities laws, including with respect to disclosure obligations; and (D) to the extent reasonably requested by Elevation in connection with an underwritten public offering, delivery of customary comfort letters and legal opinions.

          (c) In connection with any Proposed Transfer with respect to which a Transfer Request has been delivered the Company shall prepare and furnish to Elevation in accordance with this Section 2.3 such disclosure materials regarding the Company and the Company’s securities, including the Units, as are necessary for the consummation of the Proposed Transfer in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable state of federal securities law (such disclosure materials, together with any amendment or supplement thereto and all documents incorporated therein by reference, the “Disclosure Documents”). The Company hereby represents and warrants to Elevation that the Disclosure Documents will not, on each of the date of the Transfer Request, the date of delivery to the transferee to which such Transfer Request relate and on the date of the consummation of the Proposed Transfer, contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          (d) The Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by Elevation in connection with each Proposed Transfer (including any transfer taxes associated therewith and all reasonable fees and expenses of Elevation’s counsel and other advisors) and shall provide customary indemnification to the purchasers of such securities (and any underwriters thereof) in connection with the Proposed Transfer (and any underwritten offering thereof). In addition, the Company shall (i) indemnify and hold harmless Elevation, its Affiliates and their respective Related Parties (the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities, joint or several, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened in writing) in respect thereof (“Claims”) and expenses suffered or incurred by any of them arising out of or based upon any Proposed Transfer, the Disclosure Documents and any breach of the representations and warranties of the Company referred to in Section 2.3(b) except, in the case of any Indemnified Party, to the extent such Claims arise from the breach by Elevation of its obligations pursuant to this Section 2.3, and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Party promptly upon demand for any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and any other reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Claim; provided, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.3(d) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be

unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company also agrees that if for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Parties or insufficient to hold the Indemnified Parties harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to the Indemnified Parties as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and such Indemnified Parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such Claim and any other relevant equitable considerations. The provisions of this Section 2.3(d) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, its heirs and representatives and shall be in addition to any obligations which the Company may otherwise have under other agreements or otherwise.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, Elevation agrees that during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date of the Transfer Deadline, except pursuant to and in furtherance of any Transfer Request, Elevation shall not (i) transfer more than 50,000 Units to a third party other than a successor or assignee bound by the obligations of Elevation hereunder , or (ii) cause more than 50,000 shares of Company Series C Preferred Stock to be converted into Company Common Stock or Warrants for the purchase of more than 3,500,000 shares of Company Common Stock to be exercised, and any attempt by Elevation to transfer, convert or exercise such securities in violation of this Section 2.3(e) shall be void and have no force or effect.

Elevation is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned or leased or the nature of its activities make such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the ability of Elevation to fully perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement.

     4.2 Authorization.  Elevation has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement by Elevation and the consummation by Elevation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on the part of Elevation, and no other corporate or other proceeding on the part of Elevation is necessary to authorize, adopt or approve this Agreement, the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement has been, and the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement will be at the Closing, duly executed and delivered by Elevation and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Elevation, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, except that such enforceability (a) may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally, and (b) is subject to general principles of equity.

     4.3 Non-Contravention and Required Consents.  The execution, delivery or performance by Elevation of this Agreement, the consummation by Elevation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance by Elevation with any of the provisions hereof do not and will not (i) violate or conflict with any provision of the limited partnership agreement of Elevation, (ii) violate, conflict with, or result in the breach of or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Elevation is a party or by which Elevation or any of its properties or assets may be bound, (iii) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 4.4, violate or conflict with any Law or Order applicable to Elevation or by which any of their properties or assets are bound or (iv) result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of the properties or assets of Elevation, except in the case of each of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, for such violations, conflicts, defaults, terminations, accelerations or Liens which would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the ability of Elevation to fully perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement.

     4.4 Required Governmental Approvals.  No Consent of any Governmental Authority is required on the part of Elevation or any of its Affiliates in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Elevation of this Agreement and the consummation by Elevation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except (i) such filings and approvals as may be required by any federal or state securities laws, including compliance with any applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, (ii) compliance with any applicable requirements of the HSR Act and any applicable foreign Antitrust Laws, (iii) any Consents that may be required in connection with the

transactions contemplated by Section 2.3, and (iv) such other Consents, the failure of which to obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the ability of Elevation to fully perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement.

     4.5 Litigation.  There is no Legal Proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Elevation, threatened, against or affecting Elevation or any of its properties that would, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the ability of Elevation to fully perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement. Elevation is not subject to any outstanding Order that would, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the ability of Elevation to fully perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement.

     4.6 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Subject to the transactions contemplated by Section 2.3, the Purchased Shares and the Purchased Warrants will be acquired for investment for Elevation’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale, distribution or offering of any part thereof, and Elevation has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Elevation does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to the Purchased Shares and the Purchased Warrants or the Company Common Stock into which the Purchased Shares and Purchased Warrants are, respectively, convertible and exercisable.

     4.7 Accredited Investor; Investment Experience. Elevation has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Purchased Shares and the Purchased Warrants, it is able to bear the economic consequences thereof, and it qualifies as an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Elevation is experienced in evaluating and investing in securities of emerging publicly traded high technology companies and acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of its investment. Elevation is a “U.S. Person” as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Purchased Shares.

     4.8 Restricted Securities. Elevation understands that the Purchased Shares and the Purchased Warrants have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities (“Blue Sky”) law, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and the applicable Blue Sky laws, which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Elevation’s representations as expressed herein. Elevation understands that as such the Purchased Shares and the Purchased Warrants (and the Company Common Stock into which such Purchased Shares and the Purchased Warrants are, respectively, convertible and exercisable) are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations such Purchased Shares and Purchased Warrants (and the Company Common Stock into which such Purchased Shares and Purchased Warrants are, respectively, convertible and exercisable) may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in

certain limited circumstances. Elevation represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

     4.9 Stockholders’ Agreement. The Purchased Shares shall be subject to the restrictions contained in the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement.

     4.10 Legends. It is understood that the Purchased Shares, and any securities issued in respect thereof or exchange therefor, may bear one or all of the following legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH LAWS. IN ADDITION, THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF A STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH AGREEMENT.”

     4.11 Brokers.  No agent, broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission payable by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Elevation.

     4.12 Sufficient Funds. Elevation has legally binding capital commitments sufficient to, and will have, on the First Installment Payment Date and the Second Installment Payment Date, respectively, sufficient funds to, pay the Installment Payment payable at such date pursuant to Section 2.2.

     5.5 Notification of Certain Matters.  Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give prompt written notice to Elevation of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event known to the Company the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would reasonably be expected to cause any representation or warranty contained in ARTICLE III to be untrue, or the failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement under this Agreement.

     8.4 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Exhibits hereto, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded, shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms.

     8.5 Third Party Beneficiaries.  Other than the Indemnified Parties who shall be third party beneficiaries of Section 2.3, this Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto or otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto.

     8.6 Severability.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto.

     8.7 Remedies.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of any party hereto for Damages with respect to any breach of this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price. The parties hereto 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 shall be entitled to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Nothing in this Section 8.8 shall relieve any Person for any liability for fraud. As used herein, “Related Party” shall mean any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, affiliate, stockholder, assignee or representative of the undersigned or any of its successors or permitted assigns or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, affiliate, stockholder, assignee or representative of any of the foregoing, other than Elevation or its assignees hereunder, or any Successor Entity.

OF
PALM, INC.

     Palm, Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), hereby certifies, pursuant to Section 151 of the DGCL, that the following resolutions were duly adopted by its Board of Directors (the “Board”) on December 22, 2008:

     WHEREAS, the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), authorizes 125,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), issuable from time to time in one or more series; and

     WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board to provide by resolution for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, privileges, preferences, and relative participating, optional or other rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof;

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that a series of Preferred Stock with the powers, designations, preferences and rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as provided herein is hereby authorized and established as follows:

     SECTION 1. Number; Designation; Rank.

          (a) This series of convertible participating Preferred Stock is designated as the “Series C Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). The number of shares constituting the Series C Preferred Stock is 100,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share.

          (b) The Series C Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company:

               (i) senior in preference and priority to the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), the series of Preferred Stock of the Company that is designated as “Series A Participating Preferred Stock”, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and each other class or series of Equity Security (as defined in SECTION 8(s)) of the Company the terms of which do not expressly provide that it ranks senior in preference or priority to or on parity, without preference or priority, with the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (collectively with the Common Stock, the “Junior Securities”);

               (ii) on parity, without preference and priority, with the series of Preferred Stock of the Company that is designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”, par value $0.001

per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and each other class or series of Equity Security of the Company, the terms of which expressly provide that it will rank on parity, without preference or priority, with the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Parity Securities”), and

               (iii) junior in preference and priority to each other class or series of Equity Security of the Company the terms of which expressly provide that it will rank senior in preference or priority to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Senior Securities”).

     SECTION 2. Dividends.

          (a) Participating Dividends. Each holder of issued and outstanding Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends for each share of Series C Preferred Stock, dividends of the same type as any dividends or other distribution, whether in cash, in kind or in other property, payable or to be made on outstanding shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), in an amount equal to the amount of such dividends or other distribution as would be made on the largest number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) into which such share of Series C Preferred Stock could be converted on the applicable record date for such dividends or other distribution on the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), assuming such converted shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) were outstanding on the applicable record date for such dividend or other distribution and without giving effect to the limitations set forth in SECTION 5(b) (the “Participating Dividends”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the above, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or distributions for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to SECTION 5(f)(i)(A) (and such dividends or distributions that are not payable to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock as a result of this proviso shall not be deemed to be Participating Dividends); provided, further, however, that notwithstanding the above, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or distributions of Rights if, following the occurrence of a Distribution Date in respect of such Rights, an adjustment to the Conversion Price would be made pursuant to SECTION 5(f)(ii) (assuming, for purposes of this SECTION 2(a), that the holder of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock were not an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate (as defined in the Company Rights Plan or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) or an Associate (as defined in the Company Rights Plan or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) of such Acquiring Person)(and such dividends or distributions that are not payable to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock as a result of this proviso shall not be deemed to be Participating Dividends).

               (i) Participating Dividends are payable at the same time as and when such dividend or other distribution on Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) is paid to the holders of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable); provided,

however, that no such dividend or distribution on Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) shall be made unless and until the Participating Dividends are paid (or are concurrently being paid) pursuant to this SECTION 2(a)(i).

          (b) Conditional Dividends. Following the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined below), and for so long as such Triggering Event continues, each holder of issued and outstanding Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends for each share of Series C Preferred Stock, with respect to each dividend period, dividends at a rate per annum equal to the Conditional Rate multiplied by the sum of (A) $1,000 per share (the “Original Liquidation Amount”) plus (B) any accrued and unpaid dividends that are payable on such share of Series C Preferred Stock, in each case as adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events (the “Conditional Dividends” and, together with the Participating Dividends and Unpaid Conditional Dividends, the “Dividends”). Any Conditional Dividends payable pursuant to this SECTION 2(b) shall be in addition to any Participating Dividends payable pursuant to SECTION 2(a) hereof. In addition, the right of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock to receive the Conditional Dividend is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any remedies such holders may have at law or equity.

               (i) Conditional Dividends will accrue and cumulate from the date on which a Triggering Event occurs, and are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, or, if such date is not a Business Day, the succeeding Business Day (each such day, a “Conditional Dividend Payment Date”) until such date as the Triggering Event is no longer continuing; provided, however, that if Conditional Dividends remain unpaid after a Triggering Event is no longer continuing, dividends will accrue and cumulate in an amount equal to (such dividends, “Unpaid Conditional Dividends”) the product of (A) (x) the amount of unpaid Conditional Dividends plus (y) the amount of unpaid Unpaid Conditional Dividends and (B) the Conditional Rate. Any Unpaid Conditional Dividends payable pursuant to this SECTION 2(b)(i) shall be in addition to any Participating Dividends payable pursuant to SECTION 2(a) hereof. In addition, the right of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock to receive the Unpaid Conditional Dividends is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any remedies such holders may have at law or equity.

               (ii) The amount of Conditional Dividends and Unpaid Conditional Dividends payable for each full quarterly dividend period will be computed by dividing the annual rate by four. The amount of Conditional Dividends and Unpaid Conditional Dividends payable for any dividend period shorter or longer than a full quarterly dividend period, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

               (iii) Conditional Dividends and Unpaid Conditional Dividends will be paid to the holders of record of Series C Preferred Stock as they appear in the records of the Company at the close of business on the 15th day of the calendar month in which the applicable Conditional Dividend Payment Date falls if in March, June, September or December (or on the 15th day of the calendar month prior to the month the Conditional Dividend Payment Date falls if the Conditional Dividend Payment Date falls in April, July, October or January) or on such other date designated by

the Board for the payment of Conditional Dividends (and/or Unpaid Conditional Dividends, as the case may be) that is not more than 60 days or less than 10 days prior to such Conditional Dividend Payment Date. Any payment of a Conditional Dividend or Unpaid Conditional Dividend will first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid Conditional Dividend or Unpaid Conditional Dividend due with respect to such share that remains payable.

               (iv) Conditional Dividends and Unpaid Conditional Dividends are payable only in cash. Conditional Dividends and Unpaid Conditional Dividends will accrue and cumulate whether or not the Company has earnings or profits, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of Conditional Dividends or Unpaid Conditional Dividends and whether or not Conditional Dividends or Unpaid Conditional Dividends are declared. Conditional Dividends and Unpaid Conditional Dividends will accumulate and compound quarterly to the extent they are not paid when due.

               (v) While a Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries may (A) declare, pay or set aside for payment any dividends or distributions on any Junior Securities of the Company, (B) repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Junior Securities of the Company or (C) make any loan or other advance to any direct or indirect owner of a majority of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) or any subsidiary of any such owner.

               (vi) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries may (A) declare, pay or set aside for payment any dividends or distributions on any Junior Securities of the Company or (B) repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Junior Securities of the Company, unless in each case the Company has sufficient lawful funds immediately following such action such that the Company would be legally permitted to redeem in full (x) the Series C Preferred Stock for the Regular Liquidation Preference and (y) the Series B Preferred Stock for the Regular Liquidation Preference (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred Stock). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any optional redemption with respect to any preferred stock that constitutes Junior Securities of the Company if, at the time of such optional redemption, the Company could not have incurred additional Indebtedness pursuant to SECTION 4(f) equal in amount to the optional redemption price of the preferred stock being redeemed.

               (vii) Each of the following shall constitute a “Triggering Event” for the purposes hereof:

               (A) a failure by the Company to pay any Mandatory Redemption Price on the Mandatory Redemption Date or the Optional Redemption Price on the Optional Redemption Date for any reason, including the absence of funds legally available for such payment;

               (B) a failure by the Company to deliver the Fundamental Change Notice to the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to SECTION 7(a)(iii)

hereof within the time period provided therein or to pay the Repurchase Price in respect of all shares of Series C Preferred Stock on the Repurchase Date pursuant to SECTION 7 for any reason, including the absence of funds legally available for such payment;

               (C) a failure by the Company to deliver any cash and shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), when such cash and shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), if any, are required to be delivered upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to SECTION 5 hereof, where the Company does not remedy such default within ten (10) days after the date such cash and shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), if any, are required to be delivered;

               (D) a failure to pay any Participating Dividends on any date dividends or other distributions on Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) are paid; and

               (E) for so long as the Board Representation Entitlement is one or more Preferred Directors, a material violation by the Company of any term of or condition set forth in this Certificate of Designation other than those referenced in the preceding clauses (A) through (D), where the Company does not cure such violation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice from Elevation of such breach (it being understood that this clause (E) shall no longer apply from and after the date on which the Board Representation Entitlement is zero (0) Preferred Directors).

          (c) If Dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart upon the Series C Preferred Stock, all Dividends declared upon the Series C Preferred Stock and all dividends declared on any Parity Securities shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of Dividends declared per share of the Series C Preferred Stock and dividends declared per share of such Parity Securities shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued and unpaid Dividends per share on the Series C Preferred Stock and accrued and unpaid dividends per share of such Parity Securities bear to each other.

          (d) The Company shall take all actions necessary or advisable under the DGCL to permit the payment of Dividends to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock are not entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, in kind or other property, in excess of the Dividends as provided in this SECTION 2.

     SECTION 3. Liquidation Preference.

          (a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of Series C Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to receive and to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution, before any distribution or payment may be made to a holder of any Junior Securities, an amount in cash per share equal to the greater of: (i) the sum of (A) the Original Liquidation Amount per share plus (B) all accrued and unpaid

Dividends, if any, on such share of Series C Preferred Stock, in each case as adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events (such sum, as adjusted, the “Regular Liquidation Preference”), and (ii) an amount equal to the amount the holders of Series C Preferred Stock would have received per share of Series C Preferred Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company had such holders converted their shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) immediately prior thereto (the “Participating Liquidation Preference,” and such greater amount, the “Liquidation Preference”).

          (b) If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company available for distribution are insufficient to pay the holders of Series C Preferred Stock the full Liquidation Preference and the holders of all Parity Securities the full liquidation preferences to which they are entitled, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock and such Parity Securities will share ratably in any such distribution of the assets of the Company in proportion to the full respective amounts to which they are entitled.

          (c) After payment to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock of the full Liquidation Preference to which they are entitled, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock as such will have no right or claim to any of the assets of the Company.

          (d) The value of any property not consisting of cash that is distributed by the Company to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will equal the Fair Market Value thereof on the date of distribution.

          (e) For the purposes of this SECTION 3, a Fundamental Change (in and of itself) shall be deemed not to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company subject to this SECTION 3 (it being understood that an actual liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company in connection with a Fundamental Change will be subject to this SECTION 3).

     SECTION 4. Voting Rights; Board Representation.

          (a) The holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters on which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote, and except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock will vote together with the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock as a single class. Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder on the record date for any such vote are convertible as of such record date; provided, however, that in any vote of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Common Stock and any other securities that constitute Voting Stock (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) voting together as a single class to the extent that the voting power of a holder together with its Affiliates would exceed 39.9% (the “Maximum Voting Percentage”) of the Maximum Voting Power of the Company, then the aggregate number of votes entitled to be cast by such holder and its Affiliates with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder and its Affiliates will be reduced to that number (not less than

zero) that results in the aggregate voting power of such holder and its Affiliates being equal to the Maximum Voting Percentage of the Maximum Voting Power of the Company. For purposes of this Certificate of Designation, “Maximum Voting Power” means, at the time of determination of the Maximum Voting Power, the total number of votes which may be cast by all capital stock on a matter subject to the vote of the Common Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and any other securities that constitute Voting Stock (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) voting together as a single class and after giving effect to any limitation on voting power set forth in this Certificate of Designation or the Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred Stock and the certificate of designation or other similar document governing Voting Stock.

          (b) Notwithstanding SECTION 4(a) hereof:

               (i) The holders of Series C Preferred Stock and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will vote together as a single class for the election of Preferred Directors, if any, but are not entitled to vote, either as a separate class or together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class, for the election of directors other than Preferred Directors.

               (ii) Following a Fundamental Change (a “Non-Constituent Issuer Fundamental Change”) pursuant to which the Series C Preferred Stock is converted, or convertible, into a security of an entity other than (x) the Company or (y) the surviving entity of a merger or consolidation to which the Company is a constituent party, the Series C Preferred Stock (or the security into which it is converted (the “Conversion Security”)) shall not entitle the holder thereof to vote on any matters other than those set forth in SECTION 4(c)(i), (ii), (iii) and (v) (but only to the extent clause (v) relates to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)) below and such other matters (if any) as shall be required by law. For purposes of clarity, to the extent that the Conversion Security does not entitle the holders thereof to vote on any matters other than those set forth in SECTION 4(c)(i), (ii), (iii) and (v) (but only to the extent clause (v) relates to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)) below and such other matters (if any) as shall be required by law, the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into the Conversion Security shall not be deemed to be an amendment, repeal, alteration, addition, deletion or other change to the powers, preferences, rights or privileges of the Series C Preferred Stock in a manner adverse to the holders thereof.

          (c) So long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company may not take any of the following actions (including by means of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) without the prior vote or written consent of holders representing at least (x) a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class, and (y) solely in the case of clause (iii) below, so long as Elevation and its Affiliates hold in the aggregate not less than 40% of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by Elevation and its Affiliates:

               (i) any increase or decrease in the authorized amount of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, except for the cancellation and retirement of shares set forth in SECTION 9(a);

               (ii) any issuance of additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock after the Original Issuance Date;

               (iii) any amendment, repeal, alteration, addition, deletion or other change to the powers, preferences, rights or privileges of the Series C Preferred Stock in a manner adverse to the holders thereof (whether by Board resolution, amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, merger, consolidation or otherwise);

               (iv) the consummation of any merger, consolidation or other transaction to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party in connection with, or that would result in, a Fundamental Change or the Company seeking or obtaining any consent, waiver or amendment to the Credit Agreement in connection with or following a Fundamental Change, in each case unless either (A) the condition set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of SECTION 7(b) has been satisfied or (B) either (x) upon consummation of such Fundamental Change the holders of Series C Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive for each share of Series C Preferred Stock cash equal to or greater than the Repurchase Price or (y) the provisions of SECTION 7(b) are not applicable to such Fundamental Change as a result of the proviso to SECTION 7(b).

               (v) agree to do any of the foregoing actions set forth in clause (c)(i) through (c)(v), unless such agreement expressly provides that the Company’s obligation to undertake any of the foregoing is subject to the prior approval of holders of Series C Preferred Stock;

     provided, that if after the Original Issuance Date there is a change in the applicable rules of the Exchange on which the Common Stock is listed at the time such change becomes effective that would cause the Common Stock to be delisted by such Exchange as a result of the terms of this clause (c), the voting rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock set forth in this clause (c) shall thereafter be limited to the extent required by such changed rules for the Common Stock to continue to be listed on such Exchange.

     Without expanding the scope of the foregoing voting rights of Series C Preferred Stock, it is understood that in the context of a Fundamental Change, so long as immediately following such Fundamental Change:

     (i) the Series C Preferred Stock (or any preferred security into which the Series C Preferred Stock is converted in such Fundamental Change as contemplated by clause (ii)(B) below) is convertible into the kind and amount of shares of capital stock, other securities or other property receivable upon such Fundamental Change by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with SECTION 5(e); and

     (ii) the Series C Preferred Stock either:

(A) remains outstanding with the same powers, preferences, rights and privileges set forth on this Certificate of Designation, or

(B) is exchanged for preferred securities of the Survivor of a Fundamental Change, which preferred securities have the same powers, preferences, rights and privileges (other than those that by their terms automatically terminate or otherwise are altered following such a Fundamental Change pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designation) as the Series C Preferred Stock (“New Preferred Stock”), provided that to the extent that SECTION 4(g) would no longer be applicable following the consummation of such Fundamental Change as a result of the proviso to SECTION 4(g) below, the New Preferred Stock need not be senior in preference or priority to or on parity, without preference or priority, with other preferred securities of such Survivor of a Fundamental Change with respect to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of such entity; and, provided further, that such exchange does not result in income tax consequences generally to U.S. individual holders of the Series C Preferred Stock that are more severe than the income tax consequences such holders would have suffered if such holders had been holders of Common Stock and been treated as such in the Fundamental Change; and

     (iii) in connection with such Fundamental Change, no action takes place that would otherwise require the approval of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this SECTION 4(c),

the Series C Preferred Stock shall not have any vote or consent as a separate class with respect to such Fundamental Change.

          (d) Right to Designate/Elect Preferred Directors. From and after the Original Issuance Date, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting together with the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Preferred Stock”) as a separate class by a majority of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock as of any applicable record date, shall have the exclusive right to elect a total number of directors (such persons, the “Preferred Directors”), to the Board equal to the Board Representation Entitlement. If the holders of Preferred Stock fail to elect a sufficient number of Preferred Directors sufficient to fill the Board Representation Entitlement, then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of Preferred Stock fill such directorship by vote or by written consent in lieu of a meeting; and no such directorship may be filled by stockholders of the Company other than the holders of Preferred Stock. In addition, upon the occurrence of an increase in the authorized number of directors then constituting the Board that results in an increase of the Board Representation Entitlement to a number greater than the number of Preferred Directors then serving on the Board, the authorized number of Preferred Directors on the Board shall be increased immediately so that the total authorized number of Preferred Directors is equal to the Board Representation Entitlement at such time.

               (i) Term of Office. Unless a Preferred Director’s term of office shall have terminated prior to such time pursuant to SECTION 4(d)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) below, such Preferred Director designated or elected pursuant to this SECTION 4 shall serve until the next

special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company called for the purpose of electing Preferred Directors at which such Preferred Director is up for election or at any special meeting of the holders of Preferred Stock, as the case may be, for the purpose of removing Preferred Directors, or until his or her successor shall be duly elected.

               (ii) Removal and Vacancies. So long as the Board Representation Entitlement is equal to at least one (1), a majority of the directors may call, and upon the written request of holders of record of 50% of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (determined on the basis of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock), addressed to the Secretary of the Company at the principal office of the Company, shall call, a special meeting of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock, for the sole purpose of filling any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of a Preferred Director (but only to the extent required to maintain the then applicable Board Representation Entitlement), or to remove from office a Preferred Director with or without cause. Such meeting shall be held as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of such request to the Secretary, at the place and upon the notice provided by law and in the Bylaws for the holding of meetings of stockholders. Subject to SECTION 4(d)(iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) below, only the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, are entitled to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of a Preferred Director (but only to the extent required to maintain the then applicable Board Representation Entitlement), and only the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to remove from office a Preferred Director without cause. Any Preferred Director may be removed from office (A) with or without cause by holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or (B) only for cause by the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided that in such case the holders of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock with respect to such removal for cause.

               (iii) Change Following Uncured Share Ownership Reduction. Upon the occurrence of an Uncured Share Ownership Reduction, following the expiration of the applicable Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period (assuming an Uncured Share Ownership Reduction still exists), the number of Preferred Directors on the Board (but not the number of directors constituting the whole Board) shall be reduced immediately so that the total number of Preferred Directors after the occurrence of an Uncured Share Ownership Reduction is equal to the Board Representation Entitlement at such time. To effect such reduction, the term of office of the requisite number of Preferred Directors shall immediately end, such person(s) shall cease to be director(s), and neither the remaining Preferred Directors nor the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall have any right to elect or appoint a Preferred Director to replace such director. To the extent that there is more than one Preferred Director on the Board immediately prior to the Uncured Share Ownership Reduction, the holders of a majority of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall have the right to designate which of the Preferred Directors’ terms shall end pursuant to this SECTION 4(d)(iii); provided, that if holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred

Stock fail to designate in advance which of the Preferred Directors’ terms shall end, the directors (other than Preferred Directors) shall then be entitled to make such designation.

               (iv) Change Following Board Size Decrease. Upon the occurrence of a decrease in the authorized number of directors then constituting the Board that, as a result thereof results in a reduction of the Board Representation Entitlement to less than the then authorized number of Preferred Directors (a “Board Size Decrease”), the number of Preferred Directors on the Board shall be reduced immediately so that the total number of Preferred Directors is equal to the Board Representation Entitlement at such time; provided, that if the Board Size Decrease goes into effect during a Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period, then such reduction shall not take effect until the expiration of such Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period, provided that upon such expiration, the Board Representation Entitlement is less than the then authorized number of Preferred Directors. To effect such reduction, the term of office of that number of Preferred Directors required to reduce the number of Preferred Directors to the new Board Representation Entitlement shall immediately end, such person(s) shall cease to be director(s), and neither the remaining Preferred Directors nor the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall have any right to elect or appoint a Preferred Director to replace such director at such time. To the extent that there is more than one Preferred Director on the Board immediately prior to the Board Size Decrease, the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall have the right to designate which of the Preferred Directors’ terms shall end pursuant to this SECTION 4(d)(iv); provided, that if holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock fail to designate in advance which of the Preferred Directors’ terms shall end, the directors (other than Preferred Directors) shall then be entitled to make such designation.

               (v) Loss of Preferred Directors on a Non-Constituent Issuer Fundamental Change. Upon the occurrence of a Non-Constituent Issuer Fundamental Change, the terms of office of all Preferred Directors shall immediately end, such persons shall cease to be directors, and the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall not have any right to elect or appoint Preferred Directors to replace the directors whose terms of office shall have ended.

               (vi) Loss of Preferred Director on a Fundamental Change Other than a Non-Constituent Issuer Fundamental Change. Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change other than a Non-Constituent Issuer Fundamental Change, if the Board Representation Entitlement is at least one (1) Preferred Director at such time, the terms of office of all but one (1) Preferred Directors shall immediately end, such persons shall cease to be directors (notwithstanding the proviso in SECTION 4(d)(vi) below), and neither the remaining Preferred Director nor the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall have any right to elect or appoint Preferred Directors to replace the directors whose terms of office shall have ended pursuant to this SECTION 4(d)(vi). To the extent that there is more than one Preferred Director on the Board immediately prior to such Fundamental Change, the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock shall have the right to designate which of the Preferred Directors’ terms shall end pursuant to this SECTION 4(d)(vi); provided, that if holders of a

majority of the Preferred Stock fail to designate in advance which of the Preferred Directors’ terms shall end, the directors (other than Preferred Directors) shall then be entitled to make such designation.

               (vii) Loss of Board Representation Entitlement. From and after the first time that the Investor Stockholders in the aggregate cease to (A) Beneficially Own or (B) have all Economic Rights and Voting Rights with respect to a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock issued on the Original Issuance Date (including, for purposes of this calculation, shares of Preferred Stock pledged pursuant to a bona fide pledge, but not a foreclosure thereon, but excluding, for purposes of this calculation, shares subject to Shared Beneficial Ownership with any Person other than another Investor Stockholder or a Permitted Transferee), then the holders of Preferred Stock shall cease to have any rights under this SECTION 4(d) (including, without limitation, the right to vote to fill any vacancies of Preferred Directors); provided, however, that if, immediately following such time, the Investor Stockholders continue to benefit from the contractual rights set forth in Section 2.1 of the Stockholders Agreement (Board Representation), each Preferred Director serving on the Board at such time (the “Transition Time”) shall continue as a director, but not as a Preferred Director (other than with respect to SECTION 4(d)(iii), pursuant to which such director shall not continue as a director if the conditions therein for the elimination of such director’s seat are met), until the next special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company called for the purpose of electing directors, or until his or her successor shall be elected. From and after the Transition Time, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall not have any right, voting as a separate class, to elect or appoint a Preferred Director to replace such director.

               (viii) Filling Vacancy Upon Cessation of Preferred Director. Any vacancy resulting from the cessation of the term of office of a Preferred Director pursuant to SECTION 4(d)(iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) may be filled by either (A) the Board or (B) the holders of Common Stock generally, and not the holders of Preferred Stock voting as a separate class, in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Company and applicable law.

          (e) Exchange Compliance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock set forth in SECTION 4(a) to vote as a single class with the Common Stock shall be subject to applicable rules of the Exchange on which the Company is then listed to the extent required such that the Common Stock shall continue to be listed on such Exchange, including, without limitation, compliance by the Company with Rule 4351 of Nasdaq (or any successor thereto) insofar as it may be applied in the event that the Conversion Price is determined to be less than the “market value” as defined in such rules, and such rights to vote with the Common Stock shall be accordingly reduced or otherwise modified to the minimum extent required to comply with such rules. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall this SECTION 4(e) operate to reduce the number of Preferred Directors to be designated pursuant to SECTION 4(d), and it shall be the obligation of the Company to ensure that the membership of the Board satisfies the applicable rules of the Exchange on which the Company is then listed, including without limitation Rule 4350(c) of Nasdaq, without any reduction in the number of Preferred Directors pursuant to SECTION 4(d).

          (f) Approval Rights over Debt Incurrence. So long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding and the Elevation Beneficial Ownership Percentage exceeds 30%, the Company may not and will cause its subsidiaries to not, without the prior vote or written consent of holders representing at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class, incur Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Company and its subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness if, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, the Total Leverage Ratio would be equal to or less than 3.00 to 1.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its subsidiaries may:

               (i) incur Indebtedness under the revolving portion of the Credit Agreement or any Successor Credit Agreement so long as the maximum principal amount that may be incurred under the revolving portion of any such Successor Credit Agreement does not exceed the maximum principal amount that may be drawn down under the revolving portion of the Credit Agreement; and

               (ii) extend, renew, replace or refinance any Indebtedness existing as of November 30, 2008 provided that such extending, renewal, replacement or refinancing Indebtedness shall not be in a principal amount that exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced (plus any capitalized or “PIK” interest accruing for a period of six months, any redemption premium payable by the terms of such Indebtedness thereon and other reasonable amounts paid, and reasonable fees and expenses incurred, in connection with such extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing).

     For purposes of this SECTION 4(f), the following defined terms shall have the following meanings:

     “Consolidated EBITDA” means Consolidated EBITDA as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement.

     “Credit Agreement” means that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 24, 2007 among the Company, as Borrower, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Senior Funding, Inc., as Syndication Agent, as in effect on December 21, 2008 and without giving effect to any amendments, supplements or other modifications thereof after December 21, 2008.

     “Indebtedness” means, with respect to any person, without duplication, all obligations of such person for borrowed money, all obligations of such person evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar instruments or letters of credit, all capital lease obligations, all guarantees by such person of indebtedness of other persons, all Indebtedness of others secured by (or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by) any lien or encumbrance on any property or rights of such person, all obligations, contingent or otherwise, of such person as an account party in respect of letters of credit, letters of guaranty and in respect of

bankers’ acceptances and all obligations to redeem or repurchase preferred stock of the Company prior to the Maturity Date.

     “Successor Credit Agreement” means any successor to, substitute for or replacement of the Credit Agreement.

     “Total Leverage Ratio” means, on any date, the ratio of Indebtedness as of such date to Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company ended on such date (or, if such date is not the last day of a fiscal quarter, ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Company most-recently ended prior to such date).

          (g) Approval Rights over Senior and Parity Security Issuances. So long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company may not (including by means of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) without the prior vote or written consent of holders representing at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class, authorize (and if authorized, increase the authorized amount), create or issue (including by way of reclassification or otherwise) any Senior Securities or Parity Securities; provided, however, that this SECTION 4(g) shall not apply following a Fundamental Change (i) if the issuer of the Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Change is a public company whose common stock (or American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) or American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) in respect of such ADSs) is traded on an Exchange and (ii) if following such Fundamental Change the shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors and the Preferred Stock (treated on an as-converted basis) immediately prior to such transaction (or series of related transactions) are converted into and/or continue to represent (on an as-converted basis in the case of the Preferred Stock and treating any ADSs or ADRs as if they were the underlying shares to which they relate), in the aggregate, less than 40% of the total voting power of all shares of capital stock that are entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the entity surviving or resulting from such transaction (or ultimate parent thereof).

     SECTION 5. Conversion.

     Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) as provided in this SECTION 5.

          (a) Conversion at the Option of Holders of Series C Preferred Stock. Subject to SECTION 5(b) hereof, each holder of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to convert, at any time and from time to time after the 16th day following the Original Issuance Date, at the option and election of such holder, any or all shares of outstanding Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder into a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) equal to the amount (the “Conversion Amount”) determined by dividing (i) the Regular Liquidation Preference for each share of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted by such holder by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion.

The “Conversion Price” initially is $3.25, as adjusted from time to time as provided in SECTION 5(f). In order to convert shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), the holder must surrender the certificates representing such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, accompanied by transfer instruments reasonably satisfactory to the Company, free of any adverse interest or liens at the office of the Company’s transfer agent for the Series C Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Company, if the Company serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or such number of shares represented by such certificates as specified therein. With respect to a conversion pursuant to this SECTION 5(a), the date of receipt of such certificates, together with such notice, by the transfer agent or the Company will be the date of conversion (the “Conversion Date”).

          (b) Limitations on Conversion. Notwithstanding SECTION 5(a), the Company shall not effect any conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or otherwise issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to SECTION 5(a) hereof, and no holder of Series C Preferred Stock will be permitted to convert shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock to the extent that the holder exercising such conversion right (together with such holder’s Affiliates) would (immediately after giving effect to such conversion and after giving effect to any limitation on voting power set forth in this Certificate of Designation or the Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred Stock) Beneficially Own outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock and any other securities that constitute Voting Stock (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) representing in the aggregate more than the Maximum Voting Percentage of the Maximum Voting Power of the Company. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by a holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to which a conversion notice has been given, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon conversion of the remaining, unconverted portion of the Series C Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned by such holder or any of its Affiliates and shall also exclude any shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon exercise of any warrants Beneficially Owned by such holder or any of its Affiliates. Upon the written request of the holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm in writing to any holder the number of shares of Common Stock then-outstanding. Under no circumstance will any holder be entitled to receive cash for any shares of Series C Preferred Stock not convertible solely as a result of the limitations set forth in this SECTION 5(b). Anything in this SECTION 5(b) to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholder’s Agreement, the provisions of this SECTION 5(b) will not apply to any conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock in connection with a substantially concurrent sale of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to a person who is not an Affiliate of the converting holder.

          (c) Conversion at the Option of the Company. On and after the three-year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, at the Company’s option and election, in whole but not in part, all shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted automatically into a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) equal to the Conversion Amount on the date of written notice by

the Company to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock notifying such holders of the conversion contemplated by this SECTION 5(c), which conversion shall occur on the date specified in such notice, not less than 10 nor more than 30 days following the date of such notice (which shall be the Conversion Date in respect of a conversion pursuant to this SECTION 5(c), provided that such notice may be delivered by the Company only if (i) (A) the average closing price per share of the Common Stock on the Exchange on which shares of the Common Stock are then listed during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Business Day on which such notice is delivered and (B) the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the Exchange on which shares of the Common Stock are then listed for at least twenty (20) of such thirty (30) consecutive trading days (including the last fifteen (15) trading days of such thirty (30) day period) is at least 300% of the Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) all requisite arrangements with the Company’s transfer agent, the Exchange on which shares of the Common Stock are then listed, and any other requisite securities intermediary (including The Depository Trust Company and Cede & Co., if applicable) to permit the immediate trading of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date shall have been completed. Once delivered, such notice shall be irrevocable, unless the Company obtains the written consent of the holders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall continue to have the right to convert their shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to SECTION 5(a) until and through the Conversion Date contemplated in this SECTION 5(c) and if such shares of Series C Preferred Stock are converted pursuant to SECTION 5(a) such shares shall not longer be converted pursuant to this SECTION 5(c) and the Company’s notice delivered to the holders pursuant to this SECTION 5(c) shall automatically terminate with respect to such shares converted pursuant to SECTION 5(a). The limitations on conversion set forth in SECTION 5(b) shall not apply to any exercise of the Company’s conversion right pursuant to this SECTION 5(c).

          (d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) will be issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the Fair Market Value as of the Conversion Date. If more than one share of Series C Preferred Stock is being converted at one time by the same holder, then the number of full shares issuable upon conversion will be calculated on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted by such holder at such time.

          (e) Mechanics of Conversion.

               (i) As soon as practicable after the Conversion Date (and in any event within three Business Days), the Company shall promptly issue and deliver to such holder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) to which such holder is entitled, together with a check or cash for payment of fractional shares, if any, in exchange for the certificates formerly representing shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Such conversion will be deemed to have been made on the Conversion Date, and the person (as defined in SECTION 8) entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property,

to the extent applicable) issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) on such Conversion Date. In case fewer than all the shares represented by any such certificate are to be converted, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unconverted shares without cost to the holder thereof, except for any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due because any certificates for shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) or Series C Preferred Stock are issued in a name other than the name of the converting holder. The Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) upon conversion or due upon the issuance of a new certificate for any shares of Series C Preferred Stock not converted other than any such tax due because shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) or a certificate for shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued in a name other than the name of the converting holder.

               (ii) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from any preemptive rights, out of its treasury or authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) (or a combination of both) for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock the full number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series C Preferred Stock (as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of this SECTION 5 and assuming for the purposes of this calculation that all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock are held by one holder), and the Company shall take all actions to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized amount of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) if necessary therefor. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) at such adjusted Conversion Price.

               (iii) From and after the Conversion Date, the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted on such Conversion Date will no longer be deemed to be outstanding; and all rights of the holder thereof as a holder of Series C Preferred Stock (except the right to receive from the Company the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) upon conversion) shall cease and terminate with respect to such shares; provided, that in the event that a share of Series C Preferred Stock is not converted due to a default by the Company or because the Company is otherwise unable to issue the requisite shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), such share of Series C Preferred Stock will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the rights as provided herein. Any shares of Series C Preferred Stock that have been converted will, after such conversion, be deemed cancelled and retired and, following the filing of any certificate required by the DGCL, have the status of authorized but unissued Preferred Stock, without designation as to series until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular series by the Board.

               (iv) If the conversion is in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering any share of Series C Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing of the sale, transfer or the disposition of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) issuable upon conversion of Series C Preferred Stock with the underwriter, transferee or other acquirer in such sale, transfer or disposition, in which event such conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have occurred until immediately prior to the closing of such sale, transfer or other disposition.

               (v) The Company shall comply with all federal and state laws, rules and regulations and applicable rules and regulations of the Exchange on which shares of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) are then listed. If any shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock require registration with or approval of any person or group (as defined in SECTION 8) under any federal or state law or the rules and regulations of the Exchange on which shares of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) are then listed before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Company will, as expeditiously as possible, use its reasonable best efforts to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be. So long as any Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) into which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock are then convertible is then listed on an Exchange, the Company will list and keep listed on such Exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) issuable upon conversion.

               (vi) All shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) issued upon conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock will, upon issuance by the Company, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, not issued in violation of any preemptive rights arising under law or contract and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof, and the Company shall take no action which will cause a contrary result.

               (vii) If, prior to both (x) a Triggering Event and (y) a Distribution Date, shares of Series C Preferred Stock are converted into Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), upon the conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) issued in respect thereof shall be issued with the same Rights, if any, attached thereto as are attached to the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable). If, prior to a Triggering Event, but following the occurrence of a Distribution Date and prior to the expiration or redemption of the Rights, shares of Series C Preferred Stock are converted into Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), upon the conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of such Common Stock shall receive the number of Rights which would have been attached to such Common Stock assuming the Distribution Date had not occurred prior to such conversion.

          (f) Adjustments to Conversion Price.

               (i) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock.

               (A) If the Company shall, at any time and from time to time while any of the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, issue a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) payable in shares of its Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) to all holders of its Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), then the Conversion Price at the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution will be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction:

               (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Ex-Dividend Date; and

               (2) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, plus the total number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) constituting such dividend or other distribution.

If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this SECTION 5(f)(i)(A) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, in no event shall the Conversion Price be increased pursuant to this SECTION 5(f)(i)(A).

               (B) If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately increased. In each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be

the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such reduction or increase, as the case may be, shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day upon which such subdivision, combination or reclassification becomes effective.

               (ii) Adjustment for Rights Issued under Rights Plan. If at any time and from time to time while any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding there shall occur a Rights Plan Triggering Event, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the Rights Triggering Date by a fraction:

               (A) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Rights Triggering Date, plus (2) (x) the aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in the Company Rights Plan or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) payable to the Company, assuming that all Rights then-outstanding that are capable of being exercised are immediately exercised following the Rights Plan Triggering Event, divided by (y) the Current Market Price; and

               (B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Rights Triggering Date, plus (2) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) into which the Rights then-outstanding are exercisable for (immediately following such Rights Plan Triggering Event) (such number of shares of Common Stock, the “Underlying Common Stock Amount”);

     Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Rights Triggering Date;

     To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) are not delivered pursuant to such Rights prior to the expiration or termination of any Rights (other than as a result of the repurchase of those Rights by the Company), upon expiration or termination of such Rights (“Expired Rights”) the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the occurrence of a Rights Plan Triggering Event been made without taking into account such Expired Rights. Except as set forth in this paragraph, in no event shall the Conversion Price be increased pursuant to this SECTION 5(f)(ii).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Price as adjusted pursuant to this SECTION 5(f)(ii) shall not apply to any shares of Series C Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned by a Person who is an Acquiring Person, and, with respect to such shares, the Conversion Price shall be the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Rights Triggering Date.

               (iii) Adjustment for Certain Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. In case the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall, at any time or from time to time, while any of the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, distribute cash or other consideration in respect of a tender offer or an exchange offer (that is treated as a “tender offer” under U.S. federal securities laws) made by the Company or any subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), where the sum of the aggregate amount of such cash distributed and the aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Expiration Date (as defined below), of such other consideration distributed (such sum, the “Aggregate Amount”) expressed as an amount per share of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) validly tendered or exchanged, and not withdrawn, pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer as of the Expiration Time (as defined below) (such tendered or exchanged shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), the “Purchased Shares”) exceeds the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) on the first Trading Day immediately following the last date (such last date, the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (as the same may be amended through the Expiration Date), then, and in each case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date by a fraction:

               (A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding as of the Expiration Time (including all Purchased Shares) and (B) the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) on the first Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date; and

               (B) the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (A) the Aggregate Amount and (B) the product of (I) an amount equal to (1) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) at which tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer less (2) the Purchased Shares and (II) the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) on the first Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date.

     An adjustment, if any, to the Conversion Price pursuant to this SECTION 5(f)(iii) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the second Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date. In the event that the Company or a

subsidiary is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock (and Reference Property, to the extent applicable) pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, if the application of this SECTION 5(f)(iii) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this SECTION 5(f)(iii).

               (iv) Adjustments for Issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

               (A) Definitions. For purposes of this SECTION 5(f)(iv), the following definitions apply:

               (1) “Convertible Securities” means any debt or other evidences of indebtedness, capital stock, rights, options, warrants or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (including Reference Property, if applicable).

               (2) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” means any shares of Common Stock issued (whether from the Company’s treasury or authorized and unissued shares of capital stock) or, as provided in SECTION 5(f)(iv)(B) below, deemed to be issued by the Company after the Original Issuance Date; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not include issuances of Common Stock (including any deemed issuance pursuant to SECTION 5(f)(iv)(B)) which are (1) pursuant to employee benefit plans and compensation related arrangements approved by the board of directors of the Company (including any duly authorized committee or delegee thereof) or (2) to Elevation or any of its Affiliates pursuant to the exercise of their respective preemptive rights.

               (3) (iii) “Measurement Date” means, with respect to a transaction, the public announcement of such transaction (or, if no such public announcement is made, the date of issuance).

               (B) Deemed Issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities will be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of the issuance of such Convertible Securities; provided, however, that:

               (1) No adjustment in the Conversion Price will be made upon the subsequent issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

               (2) To the extent that Additional Shares of Common Stock are not issued pursuant to any such Convertible Security upon the expiration or termination of an unissued, unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect had such Convertible Security (to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination) never been issued; and

               (3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security, excluding a change resulting from any transaction giving rise to an adjustment pursuant to SECTION 5(f)(i)(B), but including periodic or scheduled accretions or adjustments to a Convertible Security, interest and dividends paid in kind, repricings of the exercise or conversion price of such Convertible Securities or otherwise, the Conversion Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if, on the date of issuance, such Convertible Security were exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for such changed number of shares of Common Stock.

               (C) Determination of Consideration. The Fair Market Value of the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock will be computed as follows:

               (1) Cash and Property. Aggregate consideration consisting of cash and other property will: (x) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate of cash received by the Company, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends; (y) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the Fair Market Value thereof on the Measurement Date; and (3) insofar as it consists of both cash and other property, be the proportion of such consideration so received.

               (2) Convertible Securities. The aggregate consideration per share received by the Company for Convertible Securities will be determined by dividing: (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the full and complete exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without

regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the full and complete exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

               (D) In the event the Company shall, at any time and from time to time during the period ending on the second anniversary of the Original Issuance Date while any of the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, issue or sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) for a consideration per share, as determined by such consideration’s Fair Market Value in accordance with SECTION 5(f)(iv)(C), less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance (a “Below Conversion Price Issuance”), then if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of any such single or series of related Below Conversion Price Issuances is greater than $30,000,000, the Conversion Price in effect immediately after such Below Conversion Price Issuance shall be reduced to the Fair Market Value of the consideration per share received by the Company in respect of such Below Conversion Price Issuance or, in the case of a series of Below Conversion Price Issuances, the lowest Fair Market Value of consideration per share received in any such Below Conversion Price Issuance.

               (E) Except in the case of Below Conversion Price Issuances giving rise to an adjustment pursuant to SECTION 5(f)(iv)(D), in the event the Company shall, at any time and from time to time while any of the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, issue or sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), in a Below Conversion Price Issuance, the Conversion Price in effect immediately after such Below Conversion Price Issuance shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Below Conversion Price Issuance by a fraction:

               (1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding immediately prior to such Below Conversion Price Issuance (on a fully diluted basis based on the treasury method) (such number of shares of Common Stock, the “Number of Fully Diluted Shares of Common Stock”); plus (b) (x) the Fair Market Value of the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such Below Conversion Price Issuance, divided by (y) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Below Conversion Price Issuance; and

               (2) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (a) the Number of Fully Diluted Shares of Common Stock, plus (b) the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such Below Conversion Price Issuance.

               (F) Any adjustment made pursuant to this SECTION 5(f)(iv) shall become effective immediately upon the date of such Below Conversion Price Issuance.

               (G) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any adjustment pursuant to this SECTION 5(f)(iv) cause the Conversion Price to be less than $2.5185 (the “Floor Price”), provided that such Floor Price shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Price to reflect any adjustments made in accordance with this SECTION 5(f) (other than adjustments pursuant to this SECTION 5(f)(iv)).

               (v) Disposition Events.

               (A) If any of the following events (any such event, a “Disposition Event”) occurs:

               (1) any reclassification or exchange of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination); or

               (2) any merger, consolidation or other combination to which the Company is a constituent party;

     in each case, as a result of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property for their shares of Common Stock, the Company or the surviving entity of the merger, consolidation or other combination shall provide that the Series C Preferred Stock converted following the effective date of any Disposition Event, shall be calculated based on the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property (collectively, “Reference Property”) received upon the occurrence of such Disposition Event by a holder of Common Stock holding, immediately prior to the transaction, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Amount immediately prior to such Disposition Event; provided that if the Disposition Event provides the holders of Common Stock with the right to receive more than a single type of consideration determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, the Reference Property shall be comprised of the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock. The Company may not cause, or agree to cause, a Disposition Event to occur, unless the issuer of any securities or other property into which the Series C Preferred Stock becomes convertible agrees, for the express benefit of the holders of record of Series C Preferred Stock (including making them beneficiaries of such agreement), to issue such securities or property.

               (B) The above provisions of this SECTION 5(f)(v) shall similarly apply to successive Disposition Events. If this SECTION 5(f)(v) applies to any event or occurrence, neither SECTION 5(f)(i) nor SECTION 5(f)(iii) shall apply; provided, however, that this SECTION 5(f)(v) shall not apply to any stock split or combination to which SECTION 5(f)(i) is applicable or to a liquidation, dissolution or winding up to which SECTION 3 applies. To the extent that equity securities of a company are received by the

holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with a Disposition Event, the portion of the Series C Preferred Stock which will be convertible into such equity securities will continue to be subject to the anti-dilution adjustments set forth in this SECTION 5(f).

               (vi) Minimum Adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Price will not be reduced if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $0.01, but any such amount will be carried forward and reduction with respect thereto will be made at the time that such amount, together with any subsequent amounts so carried forward, aggregates to $0.01 or more.

               (vii) Limitation on Adjustment; When No Adjustment Required.

               (A) No adjustment need be made for the issuance of Common Stock (and Reference Property, to the extent applicable) or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (and Reference Property, to the extent applicable) or carrying the right to purchase Common Stock (and Reference Property, to the extent applicable) or any such security except to the extent explicitly required herein.

               (B) No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest.

               (C) No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable).

               (viii) Rules of Calculation; Treasury Stock. All calculations will be made to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth of a share. Except as explicitly provided herein, the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding will be calculated on the basis of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), not including shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any dividend on or make any distribution to shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) held in treasury.

               (ix) Waiver.

This waiver will be limited in

scope and will not be valid for any issuance of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) or other dividend or other distribution on shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) not specifically provided for in such notice.

               (x) Tax Adjustment. Anything in this SECTION 5 notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such downward adjustments in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this SECTION 5, as the Board in its sole discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any event treated for federal income tax purposes as a dividend or stock split will not be taxable to the holders of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable).

               (xi) Par Value. Anything in this SECTION 5 notwithstanding, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall reduce the Conversion Price below the then par value per share of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), and any such purported adjustment shall instead reduce the Conversion Price to such par value.

               (xii) No Duplication. If any action would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more than one of the provisions described in this SECTION 5 in a manner such that such adjustments are duplicative, only one adjustment shall be made.

          (g) Notice of Record Date. In the event of:

               (i) any stock split or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable);

               (ii) any declaration or making of a dividend or other distribution to holders of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) in Additional Shares of Common Stock, any other capital stock, other securities or other property (including but not limited to cash and evidences of indebtedness);

               (iii) any reclassification or change to which SECTION 5(f)(i)(B) applies;

               (A) the record date of such stock split, combination, dividend or other distribution, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of

Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) of record to be entitled to such stock split, combination, dividend or other distribution are to be determined, or

               (B) the date on which such reclassification, change, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other Fundamental Change described in clause (i) of the definition thereof in SECTION 8(x), is estimated to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) of record will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) for the capital stock, other securities or other property (including but not limited to cash and evidences of indebtedness) deliverable upon such reclassification, change, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other Fundamental Change.

     Disclosures made by the Company in any filings required to be made under the Exchange Act shall be deemed to satisfy the notice requirements set forth in this SECTION 5(g).

               (i) On October 24, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”), or, if not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter, the Company shall redeem (subject to the legal availability of funds therefor) all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share equal to the Regular Liquidation Preference (the “Mandatory Redemption Price”). To the extent that the Company has insufficient funds to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company shall use available funds to redeem a pro rata portion of the Series C Preferred Stock held by each holder thereof; provided, however, that the failure to redeem all the Series C Preferred Stock on the Mandatory Redemption Date shall continue to constitute a Triggering Event.

               (ii) The “Mandatory Redemption Date” shall be the same date as the Maturity Date or, if not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter. The Company shall deliver a notice of redemption not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date, addressed to the holders of record of the Series C Preferred Stock as they appear in the records of the Company as of the date of such notice.

          (b) Optional Redemption upon Certain Fundamental Changes.

               (i) In connection with a Fundamental Change of the type described in clause (i) of the definition of “Fundamental Change” in SECTION 8(x) (a “Triggering Fundamental Change”) where as a result of such transaction the Series C Preferred Stock become convertible solely into cash (the amount of such cash with respect to each share of Series C Preferred Stock, the “Fundamental Change Price”), the Company, at its option and election, may redeem (out of funds legally available therefor) all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a Redemption Price equal to 101% of the Regular Liquidation Preference (the “Optional Redemption Price” and collectively with the Mandatory Redemption Price, the “Redemption Price”); provided, that the consummation of such redemption and the payment of the Optional Redemption Price shall be subject to the consummation of the Triggering Fundamental Change.

               (ii) If the Company elects to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to SECTION 6(b)(i), the “Optional Redemption Date” shall be the date on which the Triggering Fundamental Change is consummated. The Company shall deliver a notice of redemption not less than 10 nor more than 30 Business Days prior to the Optional Redemption Date, addressed to the holders of record of the Series C Preferred Stock as they appear in the records of the Company as of the date of such notice. Each notice must state the following: (A) the expected Optional Redemption Date; (B) the Optional Redemption Price as of the expected Optional Redemption Date (it being understood that the actual Optional Redemption Price will be determined as of the actual Optional Redemption Date); (C) the Fundamental Change Price as of the expected Optional Redemption Date; (D) the name of the redemption agent to whom, and the address of the place to where, the Series C Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the Optional Redemption Price; (E) that Conditional Dividends, if any, on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such Optional Redemption Date provided that the Optional Redemption Price and Dividends accrued through the day immediately preceding the Optional Redemption Date shall have been paid on the Optional Redemption Date; and (F) that the consummation of the redemption and the payment of the Optional Redemption Price shall be subject to the consummation of the Triggering Fundamental

Change. Each holder shall have the right, exercisable upon notice to the Company at any time prior to the Optional Redemption Date, to elect to convert the Series C Preferred Stock and receive the Fundamental Change Price in lieu of the Optional Redemption Price with respect to each share of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder to the extent such Triggering Fundamental Change is consummated.

          (c) Mechanics of Redemption.

               (i) Unless waived in writing by the holders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, on or prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date or Optional Redemption Date, as applicable, the Company shall deposit with a redemption agent in trust, upon delivery of the Company’s redemption notice pursuant to SECTION 6(a) or SECTION 6(b), funds consisting of cash or cash equivalents sufficient to pay the Mandatory Redemption Price on the Mandatory Redemption Date or the Optional Redemption Price on the Optional Redemption Date, as the case may be. The redemption agent must be a bank or trust company in good standing, organized under the laws of the United States of America or any jurisdiction thereof. The deposit in trust with the redemption agent shall be irrevocable as of the Mandatory Redemption Date or Optional Redemption Date, as applicable (such date, the “Irrevocable Date”), except that the Company shall be entitled to receive from the redemption agent (i) the applicable Redemption Price with respect to shares of Series C Preferred Stock that are no longer to be redeemed, whether by conversion or otherwise; and (ii) the interest or other earnings, if any, earned on any such deposit. The holders of the shares redeemed shall have no claim to such interest or other earnings, and any funds so deposited with the redemption agent and unclaimed by the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock entitled thereto at the expiration of one year from the Mandatory Redemption Date or Optional Redemption Date, as the case may be, shall be repaid, together with any interest or other earnings thereon, to the Company, and after any such repayment, the holders of the shares entitled to the funds so returned to the Company shall look only to the Company for such payment, without interest. Notwithstanding the deposit of such funds, the Company shall remain liable for the payment of the applicable Redemption Price to the extent such Redemption Price is not paid as provided herein.

               (ii) The redemption agent on behalf of the Company shall pay the applicable Redemption Price on the Mandatory Redemption Date or Optional Redemption Date, as the case may be, upon surrender of the certificates representing the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Company shall so require and letters of transmittal and instructions therefor on reasonable terms are included in the notice sent by the Company); provided that if such certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may require such holder to indemnify the Company, in a reasonable amount and in a reasonable manner, and post a customary bond in respect of such indemnity, prior to paying such Redemption Price.

               (iii) From and after the Irrevocable Date, shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Mandatory Redemption Date or Optional Redemption Date, as the case may be, will no longer be deemed to be outstanding; and all powers, designations, preferences and

other rights of the holder thereof as a holder of Series C Preferred Stock (except the right to receive from the Company the applicable Redemption Price) shall cease and terminate with respect to such shares; provided that in the event that a share of Series C Preferred Stock is not redeemed due to a default in payment by the Company or because the Company is otherwise unable to pay the applicable Redemption Price in cash in full, such share of Series C Preferred Stock will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights (including but not limited to the accrual and payment of dividends and the conversion rights) as provided herein.

               (iv) Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 6 to the contrary, each holder shall retain the right to convert shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed at any time on or prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date or Optional Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that any shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date or Optional Redemption Date, as the case may be, shall not be redeemed pursuant to this SECTION 6.

               (v) Any redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this SECTION 6 (such redemption, the “Redemption”) shall be payable out of any cash legally available therefor, and if there is not a sufficient amount of cash available, then out of the remaining assets of the Company legally available therefor (valued at the fair market value thereof on the date of payment, as determined by the Board). At the time of the Redemption, the Company shall take all actions required or permitted under Delaware law to permit the redemption of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, through the revaluation of its assets in accordance with Delaware law, to make funds legally available for such redemption.

Subject to the preceding sentence, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the attached Warrant Assignment Form duly executed, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee or assignees named in such instrument of assignment and, if the Holder’s entire interest is not being assigned, in

the name of the Holder and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new Warrants pursuant to this paragraph 6 shall be paid by the Company.

     7. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares (or other securities) to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company.

     8. Exchange and Registry of Warrant. The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the Holder as the registered holder of this Warrant, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder to the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares.

     9. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it (in the exercise of its reasonable discretion) of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon the receipt of a bond, indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and date and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

     10. Anti-dilution Provisions.

     (a) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock.

     (i) If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, while this Warrant is outstanding, issue a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) payable in shares of its Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) to all holders of its Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), then, at the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution:

     (1) The Exercise Price will be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Ex-Dividend Date; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent

applicable) outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, plus the total number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) constituting such dividend or other distribution; and

     (2) The number of Warrant Shares will be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to the adjustment pursuant to Section 10(a)(i)(1) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.

If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10(a)(i) is declared but not so paid or made, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, in no event shall the Exercise Price be increased or the number of Warrant Shares be decreased pursuant to this Section 10(a)(i).

     (ii) If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), then the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), then the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the day upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately increased. In each such case, effective immediately after the opening of business on the day upon which such subdivision, combination or reclassification becomes effective:

     (1) The Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision, combination or reclassification; and

     (2) The number of Warrant Shares will be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to the adjustment pursuant to Section 10(a)(ii)(1) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.

     (b) Cash Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, while this Warrant is outstanding, issue a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) payable in cash, assets, rights or other property (other than shares of its Common Stock) to all holders of its Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), then, at the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution:

     (i) The Exercise Price will be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as of the last Trading Day preceding the such Ex-Dividend Date less the Fair Market Value of the cash, assets, rights or other property paid per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as of the last Trading Day before the Ex-Dividend Date; and

     (ii) The number of Warrant Shares will be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to the adjustment pursuant to Section 10(b)(i) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.

If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10(b) is declared but not so paid or made, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, in no event shall the Exercise Price be increased or the number of Warrant Shares be decreased pursuant to this Section 10(b).

     (c) Adjustment for Rights Issued under Rights Plan. If at any time and from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding there shall occur a Rights Plan Triggering Event, then, effective immediately after the opening of business on the Rights Triggering Date:

     (i) The Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the Rights Triggering Date by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of

Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding on the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Rights Triggering Date, plus (B) (x) the aggregate Rights Plan Exercise Price payable to the Company, assuming that all Rights then-outstanding that are capable of being exercised are immediately exercised following the Rights Plan Triggering Event, divided by (y) the Current Market Price Per Common Share as of the Rights Triggering Date; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Rights Triggering Date, plus (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) into which the Rights then-outstanding are exercisable for (immediately following such Rights Plan Triggering Event); and

     (ii) The number of Warrant Shares will be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to the adjustment pursuant to Section 10(c)(i) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.

To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) are not delivered pursuant to such Rights prior to the expiration or termination of any Rights (other than as a result of the repurchase of those Rights by the Company), upon expiration or termination of such Rights (“Expired Rights”) the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable under this Warrant shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the occurrence of a Rights Plan Triggering Event been made without taking into account such Expired Rights. Except as set forth in this paragraph, in no event shall the Exercise Price be increased or the number of Warrants Shares issuable be decreased pursuant to this Section 10(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares as adjusted pursuant to this Section 10(c) shall not apply to any Warrants Beneficially Owned by a Person who is an Acquiring Person, and, with respect to such shares, the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares shall be the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares in effect immediately prior to the Rights Triggering Date.

     (d) Adjustment for Certain Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. In case the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall, at any time or from time to time, while this Warrant is outstanding, distribute cash or other consideration in respect of a tender offer or an exchange offer (that is treated as a “tender offer” under U.S. federal securities laws) made by the Company or any subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), where the sum of the aggregate amount of such cash distributed and the aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Expiration Date (as defined below), of

such other consideration distributed (such sum, the “Aggregate Amount”) expressed as an amount per share of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) validly tendered or exchanged, and not withdrawn, pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer as of the Expiration Time (as defined below) (such tendered or exchanged shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), the “Purchased Shares”) exceeds the Daily Price per share of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) on the first Trading Day immediately following the last date (such last date, the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (as the same may be amended through the Expiration Date), then, effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the second Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date:

     (i) The Exercise Price shall be decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding as of the Expiration Time (including all Purchased Shares) and (B) the Daily Price per share of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) on the first Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date; and (ii) the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (A) the Aggregate Amount and (B) the product of (I) an amount equal to (x) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) at which tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer less (y) the Purchased Shares and (II) the Daily Price per share of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) on the first Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date; and

     (ii) The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to the adjustment pursuant to Section 10(d)(i) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.

In the event that the Company or a subsidiary is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock (and Reference Property, to the extent applicable) pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable which would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence,

if the application of this Section 10(d) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in an increase in the Exercise Price or reduction in the number of Warrant Shares issuable, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 10(d).

     (e) Adjustments for Issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

     (i) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 10(e), the following definitions apply:

     (1) “Convertible Securities” means any debt or other evidences of indebtedness, capital stock, rights, options, warrants or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (including Reference Property, if applicable).

     (2) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” means any shares of Common Stock issued (whether from the Company’s treasury or authorized and unissued shares of capital stock) or, as provided in Section 10(e)(ii) below, deemed to be issued by the Company after the Original Issuance Date; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not include issuances of Common Stock (including any deemed issuance pursuant to Section 10(e)(ii)) which are (x) pursuant to employee benefit plans and compensation related arrangements approved by the board of directors of the Company (including any duly authorized committee or delegee thereof) or (y) to Elevation or any of its Affiliates pursuant to the exercise of their respective preemptive rights.

     (3) “Measurement Date” means, with respect to a transaction, the public announcement of such transaction (or, if no such public announcement is made, the date of issuance).

     (ii) Deemed Issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities will be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of the issuance of such Convertible Securities; provided, however, that:

     (1) No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made upon the subsequent issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

     (2) To the extent that Additional Shares of Common Stock are not issued pursuant to any such Convertible Security upon the expiration or termination of an unissued, unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security, the Exercise Price will be readjusted to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect had such Convertible Security (to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination) never been issued; and

     (3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security, excluding a change resulting from any transaction giving rise to an adjustment pursuant to Section 10(a)(ii), but including periodic or scheduled accretions or adjustments to a Convertible Security, interest and dividends paid in kind, repricings of the exercise or conversion price of such Convertible Securities or otherwise, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect if, on the date of issuance, such Convertible Security were exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for such changed number of shares of Common Stock.

     (iii) Determination of Consideration. The Fair Market Value of the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock will be computed as follows:

     (1) Cash and Property. Aggregate consideration consisting of cash and other property will: (x) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate of cash received by the Company, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends; (y) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the Fair Market Value thereof on the Measurement Date; and (3) insofar as it consists of both cash and other property, be the proportion of such consideration so received.

     (2) Convertible Securities. The aggregate consideration per share received by the Company for Convertible Securities will be determined by dividing: (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the full and complete exercise, conversion or

exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the full and complete exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

     (iv) In the event the Company shall, at any time and from time to time while any of the Warrants is outstanding, issue or sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) for a consideration per share, as determined by such consideration’s Fair Market Value in accordance with Section 10(e)(iii), less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance (a “Below Exercise Price Issuance”), then, effective immediately upon the date of such Below Exercise Price Issuance:

     (1) The Exercise Price in effect immediately after such Below Exercise Price Issuance shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Below Exercise Price Issuance by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding immediately prior to such Below Exercise Price Issuance (on a fully diluted basis based on the treasury method) (such number of shares of Common Stock, the “Number of Fully Diluted Shares of Common Stock”); plus (b) (x) the Fair Market Value of the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such Below Exercise Price Issuance, divided by (y) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Below Exercise Price Issuance, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (a) the Number of Fully Diluted Shares of Common Stock, plus (b) the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such Below Exercise Price Issuance; and

     (2) The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to the adjustment pursuant to Section 10(e)(iv)(1) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.

     (v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any adjustment pursuant to this Section 10(e) cause the Conversion Price to be

less than $2.4900² (the “Floor Price”) or the number of Warrant Shares issuable to be greater than the number of Warrant Shares issuable at such Conversion Price, provided that such Floor Price and corresponding number of Warrant Shares issuable shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable to reflect any adjustments made in accordance with this Section 10 (other than adjustments pursuant to this Section 10(e)).

     (f) Disposition Event. If any of the following events (any such event, a “Disposition Event”) occurs: (i) any reclassification or exchange of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination); or (ii) any merger, consolidation or other combination to which the Company is a constituent party, in each case, as a result of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property for their shares of Common Stock, the Company or the surviving entity of the merger, consolidation or other combination shall provide that this Warrant be exercised following the effective date of any Disposition Event, shall be calculated based on the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property (collectively, “Reference Property”) received upon the occurrence of such Disposition Event by a holder of Common Stock holding, immediately prior to the transaction, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Shares issuable under this Warrant immediately prior to such Disposition Event; provided that if the Disposition Event provides the holders of Common Stock with the right to receive more than a single type of consideration determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, the Reference Property shall be comprised of the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock. The Company may not cause, or agree to cause, a Disposition Event to occur, unless the issuer of any securities or other property for which this Warrant becomes exercisable agrees, for the express benefit of the holders of record of this Warrant (including making them beneficiaries of such agreement), to issue such securities or property. The provisions of this Section 10(f) shall similarly apply to successive Disposition Events. If this Section 10(e) applies to any event or occurrence, neither Section 10(a) nor Section 10(d) shall apply; provided, however, that this Section 10(f) shall not apply to any stock split or combination to which Section 10(a) is applicable. To the extent that equity securities of a company are received by the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with a Disposition Event, the portion of this Warrant which will be exercisable for such equity securities will continue to be subject to the anti-dilution adjustments set forth in this Section 10.

     (g) Minimum Adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exercise Price will not be reduced (and the corresponding increase to the number of Warrant Shares will not occur) if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $0.01, but any such amount will be carried forward and reduction with respect to the Exercise Price (and increase with respect to the number of Warrant Shares) will be made at the time that such amount, together with any subsequent amounts so carried forward, aggregates to $0.01 or more.

     (h) Limitation on Adjustment; When No Adjustment Required.

     (i) No adjustment need be made for the issuance of Common Stock (and Reference Property, to the extent applicable) or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (and Reference Property, to the extent applicable) or carrying the right to purchase Common Stock (and Reference Property, to the extent applicable) or any such security except to the extent explicitly required herein.

     (ii) No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest.

     (iii) No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable).

     (iv) To the extent this Warrant becomes exercisable pursuant to Section 10 into cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash. Interest will not accrue on the cash.

     (i) Rules of Calculation; Treasury Stock. All calculations will be made to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth of a share. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein, the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding will be calculated on the basis of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), not including shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any dividend on or make any distribution to shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) held in treasury.

     (j) Waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exercise Price will not be reduced and number of Warrant Shares issuable will not be increased if the Company receives, prior to the effective time of the adjustment to the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable, written notice from the Holder that no adjustment is to be made as the result of a particular issuance of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) or other dividend or other distribution on shares of Common Stock. This waiver will be limited in scope

and will not be valid for any issuance of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) or other dividend or other distribution on shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) not specifically provided for in such notice.

     (k) Tax Adjustment. Anything in this Section 10 notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such downward adjustments in the Exercise Price (and corresponding increases in the number of Warrant Shares issuable), in addition to those required by this Section 10, as the Board in its sole discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any event treated for federal income tax purposes as a dividend or stock split will not be taxable to the holders of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable).

     (l) Par Value. Anything in this Section 10 notwithstanding, no adjustment to the Exercise Price shall reduce the Exercise Price below the then par value per share of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), and any such purported adjustment shall instead reduce the Exercise Price to such par value.

     (m) No Duplication. If any action would require adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to more than one of the provisions described in this Section 10 in a manner such that such adjustments are duplicative, only one adjustment shall be made.

     (n) Notice of Record Date. In the event of:

     (i) any stock split or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable);

     (ii) any declaration or making of a dividend or other distribution to holders of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) in Additional Shares of Common Stock, any other capital stock, other securities or other property (including but not limited to cash and evidences of indebtedness);

     (iii) any reclassification or change to which Section 10(a)(ii) applies;

     (iv) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or

     (v) any Disposition Event;

then the Company shall file with its corporate records and mail to the holders of the Warrants at their last addresses as shown on the records of the Company, at least 10 days

prior to the record date specified in (A) below or 10 days prior to the date specified in (B) below, a notice stating:

     (A) the record date of such stock split, combination, dividend or other distribution, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) of record to be entitled to such stock split, combination, dividend or other distribution are to be determined, or

     (B) the date on which such reclassification, change, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Disposition Event is estimated to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) of record will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) for the capital stock, other securities or other property (including but not limited to cash and evidences of indebtedness) deliverable upon such reclassification, change, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other Fundamental Change.

Disclosures made by the Company in any filings required to be made under the Exchange Act shall be deemed to satisfy the notice requirements set forth in this Section 10(m).

     (o) Certificate of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 10, the Company at its expense shall promptly as reasonably practicable compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Warrants a certificate, signed by an officer of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and shall file a copy of such certificate with its corporate records. The Company shall, upon the reasonable written request of any holder of Warrants, furnish to such holder a similar certificate setting forth (i) the calculation of such adjustments and readjustments in reasonable detail, (ii) the Exercise Price then in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) and the amount, if any, of capital stock, other securities or other property (including but not limited to cash and evidences of indebtedness) which then would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

     11. Notices. Any notice, demand or delivery authorized by this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be given to the Holder or the Company, as the case may be, at its address (or facsimile number) set forth below, or such other address (or facsimile number) as shall have been furnished to the party giving or making such notice, demand or delivery:

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     SECTION 2.1. Piggyback Registrations.  If the Company proposes to register Equity Securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8, or any successor or other forms promulgated for similar purposes, and other than demand registrations pursuant to Section 2.2) involving the offering of such Equity Securities at any time on or after the last day of the Restricted Period (the “Restricted Period Termination Date”), whether or not for sale for its own account, in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities of the same class of such Equity Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, it will, at each such time, give prompt written or telephonic notice (a “Piggyback Offering Notice”) to the Holders of: its intention to do so, the form on which the Company expects to effect such registration (e.g. Form ▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇-▇, Form S-3ASR), the anticipated filing date with the SEC of such registration statement, the anticipated date that the registration statement will be declared or otherwise become effective, whether the offering is to be underwritten, in the case of Form S-3 or Form S-3ASR, the anticipated date and time that the offering will be made. The registration rights provided for in this Section 2.1 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, registrations made upon the demand of any Holder in accordance with Section 2.2.

          (a) Form S-1. If the Company indicates in the Piggyback Offering Notice that it intends to effect a registration pursuant to Form S-1, upon the written request of any Holder (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be registered by such Holder), made within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice but in no event later than two (2) Business Days prior to the date the Form S-1 is filed with the SEC, the Company will, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 and the provision of the information specified in Section 2.5, use

reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof.

          (b) Form S-3. If the Company indicates in the Piggyback Offering Notice that it intends to effect a registration pursuant to Form S-3, upon the written request of any Holder (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be registered by such Holder), made within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice but in no event later than two (2) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement as indicated in such notice, notifying the Company whether any Holders intend to include within the Form S-3 or any Prospectus included therein Registrable Securities, the Company will, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 and the provision of the information specified in Section 2.5, use reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof.

          (c) Form S-3ASR. If the Company indicates in the Piggyback Offering Notice that it intends to effect a registration pursuant to Form S-3ASR, upon the written request of any Holder (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be registered by such Holder), made within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice but in no event later than two (2) Business Days (six (6) business hours in the case that the Company’s notice specifies that the offering is expected to occur within one (1) Business Day following the date of the notice, or one (1) Business Day in the case that the Company’s notice specifies that the offering is expected to occur within two (2) Business Days) prior the date and time of the offering as specified in the Company’s notice, notifying the Company whether any Holders intend to include within such Form S-3ASR or any Prospectus included therein Registrable Securities, the Company will, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 and the provision of the information specified in Section 2.5, use reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof.

          (d) Right to Withdraw. If a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 involves an underwritten offering, any Holder requesting to be included in such registration may elect, in writing prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, not to register all or any part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in connection with such registration.

          (e) Conversion into Registrable Securities. Nothing in this Section 2.1 shall limit the right of any Holder to request the registration of the Registrable Securities issuable upon (i) conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock by such Holder (subject to such conversion occurring prior to the completion of the sale of the underlying Registrable Securities prior to such registration) or (ii) exercise of the Warrants by such Holder (subject to such exercise occurring prior to the completion of the sale of the underlying Registrable Securities prior to such registration), notwithstanding the fact that at the time of the request such Holder holds Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Warrants, as the case may be, and not Registrable Securities.

     SECTION 2.2. Demand Registration.

          (a) General.

               (i) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2(a), upon the written request (a “Demand Notice”) of holders holding at least 40% of the aggregate Registrable Securities then held by the Holders (collectively the “Demand Party”) (assuming conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock into Conversion Shares and exercise of all outstanding Warrants into Warrant Shares (as defined below)) requesting that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or part of such Demand Party’s Registrable Securities, which Registrable Securities will be offered for sale on or after the Restricted Period Termination Date, and specifying the amount and intended method of disposition thereof, including pursuant to a shelf registration statement utilizing Rule 415 of the Securities Act (or its successor provision) (a “Shelf Registration”), thereupon the Company will promptly give written notice of such requested registration to each of the other Holders and thereupon will, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than 45 days after the date of the Demand Notice in the case of a Demand Notice dated on or after the Restricted Period Termination Date), file and use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective under the Securities Act a registration statement to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the following, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing: (x) to the extent a Demand Notice is delivered not less than 45 days prior to the Restricted Period Termination Date requesting a Shelf Registration, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective no later than the Restricted Period Termination Date, and (y) under no circumstances under this Section 2.2(a) (including the foregoing clause (x)) shall the Company be required to file any registration statement prior to the date that is 45 days prior to the Restricted Period Termination Date:

               (1) such Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Demand Party under the Demand Notice; and

               (2) the Registrable Securities of Holders which the Company has been requested to register by written request to the Company by the Holders within ten (10) days after the giving of such written notice by the Company to the Holders (which request shall specify the amount and intended method of disposition of such securities).

all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended method thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities and such other securities so to be registered.

               (ii) Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall limit the right of any Holder to request the registration of the Registrable Securities issuable upon (i) conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock by such Holder (subject to such conversion occurring prior to the completion of the sale of the underlying Registrable Securities prior to such registration) or (ii) exercise of the Warrants by such Holder (subject to such exercise occurring prior to the completion of the sale of the underlying Registrable Securities prior to such registration), notwithstanding the fact that at the time of the request such Holder holds Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Warrants, as the case may be, and not Registrable Securities.

          (b) Shelf Take-Downs. Any of the Holders whose Registrable Securities have been registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration may initiate an offering or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration (each, a “Shelf Take-Down”) and, except as set forth in this Section 2.2(b) with respect to Marketed Underwritten Offerings (as defined below in Section 2.4(q)), such Holder shall not be required to permit the offer and sale of Registrable Securities by other Holders in connection with such Shelf Take-Down. If the initiating Holders so elect by written request to the Company, a Shelf Take-Down may be in the form of an underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), and the Company shall, if so requested, file and effect an amendment or supplement of the Shelf Registration for such purpose as soon as practicable. Only the Demand Party shall have the right to initiate an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down that is a Marketed Underwritten Offering, and any such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down that is a Marketed Underwritten Offering shall be deemed to be a registration pursuant to Section 2.2(a), and the Company shall provide notice to the other Holders of such registration in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2(a).

          (c) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.2 will not be deemed to have been effected unless: (i) it has been declared effective by the SEC or has otherwise become effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) it has been filed with the SEC but abandoned or withdrawn at the request of the Demand Party prior to effectiveness, other than an abandonment or withdrawal requested because of: (A) the stock price of the Company’s Common Stock falling 15% or more since the delivery of a request for registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 (provided that such registration shall be deemed to have been effected, unless (x) the Holders participating in the registration reimburse the Company for Registration Expenses incurred or payable by the Company up until the receipt of notice of an abandonment or withdrawal pursuant to this clause (A) and for the withdrawal of the registration statement, and (y) a Demand Party has not previously requested abandonment or withdrawal of a registration pursuant to this clause (A) (it being understood that an abandonment or withdrawal pursuant to this clause (A) may be made only once)), (B) the delivery of a postponement notice pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iv), (C) a material adverse change in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ prospects, business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations, taken as a whole, which became known to the Holders or the public after the delivery of a request for registration pursuant to this Section 2.2, or (D) the discovery of materially adverse, non-public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

          (d) Selection of Underwriters. If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 involves an underwritten offering, the investment bankers, underwriters and managers for such registration shall be selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register; provided, however, that such selection of investment bankers, underwriters and managers shall be subject to the reasonable approval by the Company.

          (e) Priority in Demand Registrations; Right to Abandon or Withdraw. If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of Equity Securities (including Registrable Securities) to be included in such registration as contemplated by

the Holders and the Company would be likely to exceed the largest number of Equity Securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the success of such offering, including any impact on the selling price or the number of Equity Securities that can be sold (the “Maximum Offering Size”), then the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, 100% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Demand Party and other Holders of Registrable Securities who have requested that their Registrable Securities be included up to the Maximum Offering Size (such Registrable Securities allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among the Demand Party and the other Holders of Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such registration by each) and (ii) second, to the extent the managing underwriter believes additional securities can be sold in the offering without exceeding the Maximum Offering Size, the securities the Company proposes to sell up to the number of securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Offering Size. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall advise the Holders participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 that the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement cannot be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Demand Party or that all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a registration by a Demand Party pursuant to this Section 2.2 cannot be sold in the manner requested, then the Demand Party shall have the right to notify the Company that it has determined that the registration statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall abandon or withdraw such registration statement; it being understood that in the event the Demand Party exercises its right set forth in this sentence, the Company shall remain liable for any Registration Expenses pursuant to Section 2.6 and that the abandonment or withdrawal of the registration statement shall nevertheless constitute a registration for purposes of Section 2.3(b)(i) unless the Demand Party elects to pay (or reimburse the Company for) such Registration Expenses, in which case such registration statement shall not constitute a registration for purposes of Section 2.3(b)(i).

          (f) Notification of Sales. Prior to the sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the Holders shall give reasonable prior written notice of such sale to the Company under the particular circumstances, but in any event at least two (2) Business Days prior notice, which notice may contemplate possible sales by the Holder over a period of time not to exceed one (1) week but need not specify the number of Registrable Securities to be sold, the method of distribution or proposed purchaser or underwriter. Delivery of such notice shall not obligate the Holders to consummate such sale. Any underwritten sale pursuant to a Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 must be for a number of Registrable Securities which, based on the good faith determination of the Holders, will result in gross proceeds of at least $50 million in the case of any Marketed Underwritten Offering or $20 million in the case of any other underwritten offering.

     SECTION 2.3. Exceptions to the Company’s Obligations.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.1 to the contrary:

               (i) if, at any time after giving a Piggyback Offering Notice, the Company shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Holders and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith); and

               (ii) if a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of Equity Securities (including Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration) to be included in such registration as contemplated by the Company and the Holders would be likely to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, then the Company shall include in such registration (a) first, 100% of the securities the Company proposes to sell, and (b) second, to the extent of the amount of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Offering Size, the amount of Registrable Securities which the Holders have requested to be included in such registration, such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders and all other Persons entitled to registration rights, on the basis of the relative amount of Registrable Securities then held by each such Person (provided that any such amount thereby allocated to any such Person that exceeds such Person’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting Persons in a like manner to the extent practicable).

          (b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.2 to the contrary:

               (i) in no event shall the Company be required to effect more than (x) four (4) registrations pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or (y) four (4) Marketed Underwritten Offerings;

               (ii) in no event shall the Company be obligated to prepare and file (x) any such registration statement or (y) any prospectus supplement thereto relating to a Marketed Underwritten Offering, in each case with respect to Registrable Securities with a market value (based on then current trading prices) of less than $50 million;

               (iii) the Company shall not be obligated to (x) file a registration statement under Section 2.2(a) within a period of 270 days after the effective date of any other registration statement, (1) for which the Holders exercised their rights pursuant Section 2.1 to include Registrable Securities, provided that the Company and the underwriters did not limit in its entirety the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder was permitted to include in such registration statement or (2) which the Company filed or effected pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or (y) effect more than one Marketed Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.2 in any 180-day period;

               (iv) if the Company receives a request for registration pursuant to Section 2.2, at a time when (A) the Company has commenced, or has a bona fide intention to commence, a public or Rule 144A securities offering transaction, (B) registration of the Registrable Securities would, in the good faith judgment of the executive officers of the Company (after consultation with counsel), impede, delay or otherwise interfere with any pending or contemplated material

acquisition, corporate reorganization or similar material transaction, or (C) non-public material information not otherwise then required by Law to be publicly disclosed regarding the Company exists, the immediate disclosure of which would in the good faith judgment of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel of the Company be disadvantageous in any material respect to the Company (clauses (A), B) and (C), a “Material Pending Event”), then the Company may postpone the filing (but not the preparation) of a registration statement requested pursuant to Section 2.2 for a period not to exceed 90 consecutive calendar days from the date of a Demand Notice upon providing the Demand Party with written notice of such postponement (which notice need not include a statement of the reason for such postponement); provided that the Company shall at all times in good faith use reasonable best efforts to cause any registration statement required by Section 2.2 to be filed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; provided, further, that the Company shall postpone the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(iv) for no more than 180 days in the aggregate in any twelve-month period in respect of all requested registrations; and provided further that the Company shall make prompt and adequate disclosure of any material information required to be disclosed from time to time in accordance with Law and Nasdaq rules. Each Holder shall keep confidential any communications received by it from the Company regarding the postponement pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(iv) (including the fact of the postponement), except as required by Law. In the event that the Company gives the Holders the notice specified in this Section 2.3(b)(i), the Demand Party shall have the right, within 15 days after receipt thereof, to withdraw its request under Section 2.2, in which case such request shall not be counted as a demand for purposes of Section 2.2 or for purposes of the limitations set forth in Section 2.3(b)(i);

               (v) if the Company receives a request for registration pursuant to Section 2.2, at a time when there is a Material Pending Event, then the Company may suspend sales under a shelf registration statement, or a registration statement pursuant to which Registrable Securities are not immediately sold after the effectiveness thereof, for a period not to exceed 60 days in any 90-day period upon providing the Holders with written notice of such suspension (which notice shall include a statement of the reason for such suspension); provided, that the Company shall suspend the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(v) for no more than 180 days in the aggregate in any twelve-month period and three (3) times in any twelve-month period respect of all requested registrations; and provided further that the Company shall make prompt and adequate disclosure of any material information required to be disclosed from time to time in accordance with Law and Nasdaq rules. Upon receipt of a notice from the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3(b)(v), each Holder agrees not to sell or offer to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such shelf registration statement until the Company notifies such Holder that the shelf registration statement may be used (which notice the Company shall promptly provide following the termination of the event or circumstance giving rise to such suspension). Each Holder shall keep confidential any communications received by it from the Company regarding the suspension of sales pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(v) (including the fact of the suspension), except as required by Law; and

               (vi) in no event shall the Company be obligated to prepare and file in connection with any Shelf Take-Down any post-effective amendment to a Shelf Registration or any

prospectus supplement with respect to such Shelf Take-Down unless the Holders requesting such filing expect in good faith to sell Registrable Securities in connection therewith for an aggregate gross sales price of at least $17.5 million ($20 million with respect to an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down).

          (c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 to the contrary:

               (i) if all of the Registrable Securities held by a Holder (together with those of its Affiliates) constitute less than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock and can be sold without restriction under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, the Company shall not be required to effect any registrations, Shelf Take-Downs or Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs of any kind for such Holder pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 (but the Company shall be required to maintain the effectiveness of any shelf registration statement as required by Section 2.4(b));

               (ii) if all of the Registrable Securities held by a Holder (together with those of its Affiliates) constitute less than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock and can be sold within any three (3) month period without restriction under Rule 144 because the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder does not exceed the volume limitations imposed by Rule 144(e) of the Securities Act, the Company shall not be required to effect any registrations, Shelf Take-Downs or Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs of any kind for such Holder pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2; and

               (iii) if any registration involves an underwritten offering, all Holders requesting to participate in any registration in connection with an underwritten offering hereunder must sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled to approve such arrangements (with such differences, including any with respect to indemnification and liability insurance, as may be customary or appropriate in combined primary and secondary offerings) and completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, underwriting agreements, hold-back agreement letters and other documents customarily required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, however, that to the extent such Holder is obligated under the terms of the underwriting arrangements to (i) make representations and warranties other than generally as to his, her or its respective (A) execution, delivery and performance of such underwriting agreement and the agreements contemplated thereby, (B) individual ownership of the Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to such underwriting agreement and (C) information provided by such Holder in writing specifically for inclusion in the Prospectus and (ii) agree to provide indemnification for any liability arising out of a breach of any such representations or warranties of such Holder that would exceed the total proceeds received by such Holder for the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such underwriting agreement, then such Holder, to the extent he, she or it determined not to enter into such underwriting agreement, shall not be obligated to enter into a lock-up agreement contemplated by Section 2.11.

     SECTION 2.4. Registration Procedures.  If and whenever the Company is required to effect a registration of any Registrable Securities as provided in this Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3, the Company will:

          (a) promptly prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use reasonable best efforts to cause a registration statement with respect to a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.2 to be filed (in the case of a registration pursuant to Form S-3ASR), or become effective (in the case of any registration other than pursuant to Form S-3ASR) as promptly as practicable;

          (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement (including Exchange Act documents incorporated by reference into the registration statement) and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period not in excess of 90 days (or such longer period as may be requested by the Holders in the event of a shelf registration statement) and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement; provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in accordance with Section 2.4(a) or this Section 2.4(b) to the extent that doing so will not materially interfere with the timing of the offering: (i) the Company will furnish to counsel selected pursuant to Section 2.10 copies of all documents proposed to be filed, and (ii) such documents will be subject to the review of such counsel reasonably in advance of any filing to permit a reasonable opportunity to review and comment in light of the circumstances;

          (c) use reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable securities laws in the United States and register or qualify such Registrable Securities covered by such registration in such jurisdictions in the United States as each seller shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where, but for the requirements of this Section 2.4(c), it would not be obligated to, subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

          (d) promptly furnish to each seller of such Registrable Securities such number of copies of such registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits filed therewith, including any documents incorporated by reference), such number of copies of the Prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and summary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other similar documents as such seller may reasonably request necessary to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities by such seller;

          (e) notify each seller of any such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement promptly if the Company becomes aware that the Prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, or the registration statement 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 in the light of the circumstances then existing and, prepare and

furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of an amended or supplemental prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable 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 in the light of the circumstances then existing;

          (f) otherwise use reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable (but not more than 18 months) after the effective date of the registration statement, an earnings statement which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;

          (g) (i) use reasonable best efforts to list such Registrable Securities on the Exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed (if such Registrable Securities are not already so listed and if such listing is then permitted under the rules of such Exchange) to the extent required; and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to provide for a transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

          (h) in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.2, promptly enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, which may include indemnification provisions in favor of underwriters and other Persons in addition to, or in substitution for, the provisions of Section 2.8, and take such other actions as the managing underwriters reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

          (i) in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.2, promptly obtain a “cold comfort” letter or letters from the Company’s independent public accounts in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters provided to sellers of securities as the seller or sellers of a majority of shares of such Registrable Securities shall reasonably request;

          (j) promptly make available for inspection by any seller of such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, by any underwriter participating in any disposition to be effected pursuant to such registration statement and by any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or any such underwriter, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause all of the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the “due diligence” of such seller or such underwriter with respect to such registration statement, subject to the execution of a mutually acceptable confidentiality agreement;

          (k) promptly notify counsel (selected pursuant to Section 2.10) for the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent and confirm such notice in writing (i) when the registration statement, or any post-effective amendment to the registration statement, shall have become effective, or any supplement to the

Prospectus and any amendments to the Prospectus shall have been filed (other than in the case of a registration pursuant to Form S-3ASR), (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the SEC, (iii) of any request by the SEC to amend the registration statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus or for additional information, and (iv) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the registration statement for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the institution or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes;

          (l) use reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any such order as soon as practicable;

          (m) (i) if requested by the managing underwriter or agent or any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or agent or such Holder reasonably requests to be included therein, including, with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold by such Holder to such underwriter or agent, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or agent; and (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after being notified of the matters incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

          (n) cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or agent, if any, or such Holders may reasonably request;

          (o) in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.2, promptly obtain for delivery to the Holders of Registrable Securities being registered and to the underwriter or agent an opinion or opinions from counsel for the Company in customary form and scope for sellers of securities;

          (p) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the NASD;

          (q) use reasonable best efforts to make available certain of the executive officers of the Company (which in any event shall include the Company’s chief executive officer) for a five (5) Business Day period to participate and to cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities and any underwriters in any “road shows” or other selling efforts, in each case in the United States, that may be reasonably be requested upon reasonable notice thereof by the Holders in connection with a firm commitment underwritten offering for the Registrable Securities with a minimum sales price of $50 million with respect to a registration statement effected pursuant to Section 2.2 (an

underwritten offering contemplated by this Section 2.4(q), a “Marketed Underwritten Offering”); provided that to the extent the initial such Marketed Underwritten Offering is for Registrable Securities having a minimum sales price of not less than $100 million, such five (5) Business Day period may be extended to eight (8) Business Days, solely in the case of such an initial Marketed Underwritten Offering, upon reasonable request of the Holders of such Registrable Securities.

     SECTION 2.5. Information Supplied.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action to register the Registrable Securities held by any Holder as to which any registration is being effected that such Holder shall furnish the Company with such information regarding such Holder that is pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request. Each Holder agrees to promptly furnish to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not misleading.

     SECTION 2.6. Expenses. Except as provided herein, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with registrations of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay the Registration Expenses in more than seven (7) Underwritten Offerings (which shall in no event include more than four (4) Marketed Underwritten Offerings). To the extent the Holders engage in more than seven (7) Underwritten Offerings, the Holders shall pay all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Offerings and the Company will have no obligation to pay any such Registration Expenses. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, broker fees and commissions, and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement.

     SECTION 2.7. Restrictions on Disposition.  Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.4(e), Section 2.4(k)(iii) or Section 2.4(k)(iv), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.4(e) or written notice from the Company that the registration statement is again effective and no amendment or supplement is needed. In the event that the Company shall give any such notice, the period referred to in Section 2.4(b) shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 2.4(e) and to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall have receive the copies of the supplemented and amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.4(e).

     SECTION 2.8. Indemnification.

          (a) Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each Affiliate of such Holder and their respective directors and officers, members or general and limited

partners (and the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (hereinafter referred to as a “Controlling Person”) of any of the foregoing), and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act any underwriter (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities, joint or several, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened in writing) in respect thereof (“Claims”) and expenses arising out of or based on: (i)  any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus prepared by it or authorized by it in writing for use by such Holder (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and the Company will reimburse each such Seller Indemnified Party for any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and any other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Claim; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission by such Holder or underwriter 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, or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; and provided, further that, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, further that the Company will not be liable to any Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 2.8(a) to the extent that any Claims for which such Seller Indemnified Party seeking indemnification relates to a sale of Registrable Securities in violation of Section 2.3(b)(v).

          (b) Indemnification by the Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the registration statement or Prospectus, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, all other Holders or any prospective underwriter, as the case may be, and any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers and Controlling Persons (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), against all Claims and expenses arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission

therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and the Holder will reimburse each such Company Indemnified Party for any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and any other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Claim, 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, or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; and provided that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, further, that in the absence of fraud by such Holder, the liability of each selling Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement.

          (c) Notification of Claims. Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 2.8 (an “Indemnified Party”) hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 2.8, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 2.8, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in any material respect by such failure to give notice. In case any such action or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such action or proceeding (in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor (but in no event will bear the expenses for more than one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in each jurisdiction who shall, with respect to Seller Indemnified Parties, be approved by the majority of the participating Holders in the registration in respect of which such indemnification is sought), the

indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof (at its expense), jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and shall have no liability for any settlement made by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the indemnifying party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party will settle any action or proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement or judgment (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff of a release to such Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such action or proceeding and (ii) does not involve the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any obligations on such Indemnified Party and does not otherwise adversely affect such Indemnified Party, other than as a result of the imposition of financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder. An Indemnified Party may not settle any action or proceeding or the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party.

          (d) Contribution. (i) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.8 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Claim or expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Claim or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Claim or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether 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 by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party under this Section 2.8(d) as a result of the Claim and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any action or proceeding; and (ii) the parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 2.8(d)(i). 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.

          (e) Non-Exclusive Remedy. The obligations of the parties under this Section 2.8 shall be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party.

     SECTION 2.9. Required Reports.  The Company covenants that it will use reasonable best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of

any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

     SECTION 2.10. Selection of Counsel.  In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by any such registration may select one counsel to represent all Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration; provided, however, that in the event that the counsel selected as provided above is also acting as counsel to the Company in connection with such registration, a majority of the remaining Holders shall be entitled to select one additional counsel to represent all such remaining Holders.

     SECTION 2.11. Market Standoff Agreement. Subject to the proviso in Section 2.3(c)(iii), in connection with any underwritten public offering, each Holder who was offered the opportunity to include Registrable Securities in such offering pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 will agree upon the request of the managing underwriter with respect to such offering not to effect any public sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, of any Equity Security of the Company during the 14-day period prior to, and for the 90 days after (plus any Booster Period), the effective date of the registration statement for such offering (or such lesser period as the managing underwriters may require or permit), except for such Equity Securities to be included in such offering; provided that all of the Company’s executive officers and all of the members of the Company’s Board (other than the Series B Directors, Series C Directors or Investor Directors, as each term is defined in the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement) are restricted in the same manner and for the same duration; and provided further that the obligations set forth in this Section 2.11 shall not apply to any Holder who was substantially limited in the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder could sell in the offering pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or Section 2.3(a)(ii) and did not otherwise sell Registrable Securities in such offering.

     SECTION 2.12. No Inconsistent Agreements; No Free Writing Prospectuses.  The Company represents and warrants that it is not a party to a Contract which conflicts with or limits or prohibits the exercise of the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this ARTICLE II. Each Holder agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and any such underwriter, it will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the SEC.

     SECTION 2.13. Termination of Registration Rights.  The rights of any Holder under this ARTICLE II shall terminate (other than Section 2.6, Section 2.8 and Section 2.13) at such time as (a) such Holder ceases to hold any Registrable Securities or (b) either (i) the Company is no longer required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has ceased to file reports under the Exchange Act, or (ii) a Form 15 (or any successor form) has been filed under the Exchange Act with respect to the Common Stock, unless, in the case of clause (b), such situation or filing is due to the occurrence of any merger, consolidation or other transaction upon consummation of which the issuer of the Common Stock is an entity other than the Company, in which event such

rights of the Holders shall not terminate at such time pursuant to such clause (b) and this Agreement shall be assumed by the Survivor as provided in Section 3.2.

No Special Damages.  The parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and that, in the event of breach by any party, damages would not be an adequate remedy and each of the other parties shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity; and the parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief; provided, however, that no Holder shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief unless such Holder together with other Holders that collectively hold at least 40% of the aggregate Registrable Securities then held by

the Holders join in the action seeking similar such specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief, as the case may be, on their own behalf. Each party agrees that there shall be no special, exemplary, punitive or multiple damages connected with or resulting from any breach of this Agreement, or actions undertaken in connection with or related hereto, including any such damages which are based upon breach of contract, tort, breach of warranty, strict liability, statute, operation of law or any other theory of recovery, except to the extent such damages are actually paid by a party hereunder to a third party, and hereby waives any rights to claim such damages. For purposes of clarity, the foregoing does not exclude consequential, indirect or incidental damages.

     SECTION 3.12. Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 2
Corporate Governance And Information Rights

     Section 2.1. Board Representations.

     (a) Immediately Following the Effective Time. Effective as of the time immediately following the Closing and for so long as the Board Representation Entitlement is greater than zero (0) (the “Director Entitlement Period”), (i) the Investor Stockholders shall have the right to designate or appoint that number of Directors (each, an “Appointed Director”) equal to the Board Representation Entitlement, and (ii) upon a designation of any Additional Directors (as defined below) that satisfy the specifications set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of Section 2.1(d)(ii), the Company agrees to take all necessary actions to effectuate the election of such Additional Directors to the Board as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event by the later of (x) January 15, 2009 and (y) five (5) business days upon receipt of such designation. The Investor Stockholders agree and acknowledge that ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will continue to serve on the Board as Appointed Directors, and the Company agrees and acknowledges that each such designee meets the specifications set forth in clauses (B) and (C) of Section 2.1(d)(i).

     (b) During the Director Entitlement Period. During the Director Entitlement Period, each Appointed Director designated, nominated or appointed by the Investor Stockholders or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(d) and Section 2.1(f). In addition, upon the occurrence of an increase in the authorized number of directors then constituting the Board that results in an increase in the Board Representation Entitlement to a number greater than the number of Appointed Directors then serving on the Board, the Investor Stockholders shall have the right to designate or appoint that number of additional Appointed Directors such that the total number of Appointed Directors (after giving effect to such designation or appointment) shall be equal to the Board Representation Entitlement at such time.

     (c) After the Director Entitlement Periods. After the Director Entitlement Period (and subject in each case to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(d):

     (i) Right of Nomination. The Investor Stockholders shall have the right, subject to the limitations in this Section 2.1(c), at each annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company at which Directors are to be elected, to designate a number of Investor Directors, and the Company shall nominate and recommend for election at such meeting, a number of Investor Directors such that if such Investor Directors are elected by the stockholders of the Company at such meeting, the number of Investor Directors on the Board shall be equal to the Investor Director Entitlement. The Company agrees to use the same efforts to cause the Investor Director designees of the Investor Stockholders to be elected to the Board as it uses to cause other nominees of the Company or the Board to be elected.

     (ii) Uncured Share Ownership Reduction; Board Size Decrease. Upon the occurrence of an Uncured Share Ownership Reduction, the Investor Stockholders at the expiration of the applicable Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period shall cause one or more Investor Directors, as applicable, to immediately resign from the Board such that following such resignation(s), the number of Investor Directors on the Board shall be equal to the Investor Director Entitlement as of the time immediately following the Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period. In addition, upon a Board Size Decrease, the Investor Stockholders shall cause one or more Investor Directors, as applicable, to immediately resign from the Board such that following such resignation(s), the number of Investor Directors on the Board shall be equal to the Investor Director Entitlement as of the time immediately following the occurrence of the Board Size Decrease, provided that if the Board Size Decrease goes into effect during a Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period, then such resignation requirement shall not take effect until the expiration of such Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period, provided that upon such expiration, the Investor Director Entitlement is less than the number of Investor Directors then serving on the Board. Upon the reduction of the Investor Director Entitlement to zero (0) pursuant to clause (A) of the definition thereof, the Investor Stockholders will promptly cause all Investor Directors to resign from the Board, unless otherwise requested in writing by or on behalf of the Board.

     (iii) Vacancy. In the event that a vacancy is created at any time with respect to a Board seat held by an Investor Director by reason of the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal (with or without cause) of such Investor Director, the Investor Stockholders may designate or nominate, as applicable, another individual to be elected to fill the vacancy created thereby, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to accomplish the same, but in any case, only to the extent required to maintain the then applicable Investor Director Entitlement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.1(c)(iii) does not apply to any vacancy arising as a result of failure of an Investor Director who has been nominated and recommended in accordance with this Section 2.1(c) to be elected, but any such failure to be elected shall in no way affect the right of the Investor Stockholders to designate, nominate or appoint another individual in replacement thereof as a nominee for Investor Director with respect to the next election. In addition, upon the occurrence

of an increase in the authorized number of directors then constituting the Board that results in an increase in the Investor Director Entitlement to a number greater than the number of Investor Directors then serving on the Board, the Investor Stockholders shall have the right to designate, and subject to this Section 2.1(c), the Board shall appoint, that number of additional individuals to serve as Investor Directors such that the total number of Investor Directors (after giving effect to such designation) shall be equal to the Investor Director Entitlement at such time;

provided, that if after the Closing there is a change in the applicable rules of the Exchange on which the Common Stock is listed at the time such change becomes effective that would cause the Common Stock to be delisted by such Exchange as a result of the terms of this clause (c), the voting rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock set forth in this clause (c) shall thereafter be limited to the extent required by such changed rules for the Common Stock to continue to be listed on such Exchange.

     (d) Limitations on Appointed Directors.

     (i) Except as provided in Section 2(d)(ii), each Appointed Director shall, at all times during which such Person serves as a Director, (A) be a present or former full-time general partner, managing director or principal of Elevation Management, LLC, (B) not be (or be a representative of or otherwise affiliated with) a direct competitor of the Company as determined in good faith by the Board, and (C) otherwise be reasonably acceptable (in terms of suitability) to the Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee as determined in good faith in the discharge of its fiduciary duties. The Investor Stockholders shall not nominate or appoint any such Appointed Director who does not meet the specifications set forth in this Section 2.1(d)(i) and shall cause any such Appointed Director to immediately resign if such director fails to meet either of the requirements set forth in clauses (i)(A) or (i)(B) above.

     (ii) If and to the extent the number of Appointed Directors is more than two (any such Appointed Director in excess of two, an “Additional Director”), each Additional Director may be a Person employed by, or be a present or former full-time general partner, managing director or principal of, Elevation or any of its Affiliates (an “Elevation Person”) so long as such Elevation Person has relevant operating, industry or other expertise; provided, however, that unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, Elevation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace each Additional Director who is an Elevation Person as soon as reasonably practicable with a designee that shall (x) not be an Elevation Person and (y) have relevant operating, industry or other expertise. Each Additional Director shall, at all times during which such Person serves as a Director, (A) not be (or be a representative of or otherwise affiliated with) a direct competitor of the Company as determined in good faith by the Board and (B) otherwise be reasonably acceptable (in terms of suitability) to the Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee as determined in good faith in the discharge of its fiduciary duties. The Investor Stockholders shall not nominate or appoint any such Additional

Director who does not meet the specifications set forth in this Section 2.1(d)(ii) and shall cause any such Additional Director to immediately resign if such director fails to meet the requirement set forth in clause (ii)(A) above.

     (e) Limitations on Other Investor Directors.

     (g) Fundamental Change. The rights granted to the Investor Stockholders under this Section 2.1 shall survive a Fundamental Change to the extent that the Investor Stockholders continue to Beneficially Own in the aggregate, excluding Shared Beneficial Ownership, no less than 7.5% of the Total Current Voting Power of the Survivor of a Fundamental Change, provided that for all purposes of this Section 2.1, the board of directors of the Survivor of a Fundamental Change shall be substituted for the Board. The Investor Stockholders shall cause all Appointed Directors and/or Investor Directors to resign from the Board effective upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change to the extent that either (i) the Investor Stockholders are no longer entitled to designate or nominate such directors as a result of this Section 2.1(g) or (ii) the Company is not the Survivor of such Fundamental Change. To the extent that the Company is not the Survivor of a Fundamental Change and the Investor Stockholders would be entitled to nominate or designate a member to the board of directors or similar governing body of the Survivor of a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) (substituting the Survivor of a Fundamental Change for the Company therein) and this Section 2.1(g), such Survivor of a Fundamental Change shall cause one (1) designee of the Investor Stockholders to be elected or appointed to the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the Survivor of a

Fundamental Change promptly following the Fundamental Change. In the event the Investor Stockholders at any time cease to Beneficially Own in the aggregate, excluding Shared Beneficial Ownership, at least 7.5% of the Total Current Voting Power of the Survivor of a Fundamental Change, all rights granted under this Section 2.1 shall cease and the Investor Stockholders shall cause all Appointed Directors and/or Investor Directors to promptly resign from the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the Survivor of a Fundamental Change.

     (h) Advance Resignation Letters. The Company and any Survivor of a Fundamental Change may implement the resignation provisions of this Section 2.1 by requiring, prior to or after becoming a member of the Board (with respect to the Company) or the board of directors or similar governing body (with respect to the Survivor of a Fundamental Change), each Appointed Director and/or Investor Director to execute and deliver an undated resignation letter to the Secretary of the Company or the Survivor of a Fundamental Change, as the case may be, which the Company and/or the Survivor of a Fundamental Change agrees shall not be dated or become effective until such time as an Investor Director’s and/or Appointed Director’s resignation is required pursuant to this Section 2.1.

     (i) Exercise of Rights. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Investor Stockholders (which agreement shall be delivered to the Company as a condition to its effectiveness), the Board designation and nomination rights pursuant to this Section 2.1 will be exercised by Elevation.

by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to or other duty of trust and confidence to, the Company with respect to such information), or (4) is required to be disclosed by Law or Order (provided that prior to such disclosure, the Investor Stockholders or such Affiliate shall, unless prohibited by Law or Order, promptly notify the Company of any such disclosure, use reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure requirements of such Law or Order, and maintain the confidentiality of such information to the maximum extent permitted by Law or Order).

     Section 2.5. Investor Director Expenses.

     (b) During the Standstill Period, at every meeting (or action by written consent, if applicable) of the stockholders of the Company called, and at every postponement or adjournment thereof, each Investor Stockholder agrees to, and agrees to cause each Permitted Transferee to, cause any and all shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by it or them and entitled to be voted thereat to be present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting so that all such shares shall be counted as present for determining the presence of a quorum at such meeting.

     Section 2.8. Notices Regarding Ownership and Investor Director Entitlement.

     (a) Until such time as the Investor Director Entitlement is zero (0), the Investor Stockholders shall provide prompt written notice to the Company reasonably prior to, if

practicable, but in any event within two (2) days after, any Transfer by the Investor Stockholders of any Purchased Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares and shall state in such notice the material terms of such Transfer and an accurate accounting of the resulting Beneficial Ownership (including what portion thereof is Shared Beneficial Ownership) of the Investor Stockholders immediately following such Transfer. In addition, the Investor Stockholders will comply with the requirements set forth in Section 3.1(g). If the Investor Stockholders Transfer (other than pursuant to a bona fide pledge, but not a foreclosure thereon and other than to one or more Permitted Transferees) and/or convert into Common Stock a majority of the Purchased Shares, or if the Investor Stockholders Transfer (other than pursuant to a bona fide pledge, but not a foreclosure thereon and other than to one or more Permitted Transferees) and/or exercise for Common Stock a majority of the Warrants, the Investor Stockholders shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) days) notify the Company in writing. If the Company reasonably believes that the Investor Stockholders have Transferred (other than pursuant to a bona fide pledge, but not a foreclosure thereon, and other than to one or more Permitted Transferees) and/or converted a majority of the Purchased Shares, or have Transferred (other than pursuant to a bona fide pledge, but not a foreclosure thereon, and other than to one or more Permitted Transferees) and/or exercised a majority of the Warrants, it shall provide written notice, and the Investor Stockholders shall promptly confirm in writing whether or not they have so Transferred and/or converted a majority of the Purchased Shares or Transferred and/or exercised a majority of the Warrants.

     (b) If the Company believes in good faith that there has been a reduction in the Investor Director Entitlement or the Board Representation Entitlement due to either (i) a Share Ownership Reduction or (ii) a Board Size Decrease, it shall provide written notice (the “Company Notice”) to the Investor Stockholders setting forth the Company’s calculation in reasonable detail of the Elevation Beneficial Ownership Percentage, and based on such Elevation Beneficial Ownership Percentage, the then applicable Investor Director Entitlement or Board Representation Entitlement, as the case may be. If in response to the Company Notice, the Investor Stockholders determine to acquire Beneficial Ownership of additional shares of Common Stock during the Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period, then within the Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period, the Investor Stockholders shall provide additional written notice (the “Additional Notice”) to the Company informing the Company of (i) whether or not they acquired Beneficial Ownership of a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock within the Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period to allow them to retain the Investor Director Entitlement or Board Representation Entitlement, as the case may be, as of immediately prior to the reduction of the Investor Director Entitlement or Board Representation Entitlement, as the case may be, that would otherwise occur (the result of such acquisitions, a “Beneficial Ownership Cure”), and (ii) the Elevation Beneficial Ownership of the date of the Additional Notice. Failure by the Investor Stockholders to provide the Additional Notice within the Share Ownership Reduction Cure Period shall be deemed confirmation that there has been the reduction in Investor Director Entitlement or Board Representation Entitlement, as the case may be, set forth in the Company Notice. Nothing in this Section 2.8 is intended to modify the restrictions set forth in Section 4.2 or the Standstill Limit.

     Section 2.9. VCOC Investor Stockholders.

     (a) With respect to each Investor Stockholder that is an Elevation Entity or a Controlled Affiliate of an Elevation Entity (for so long as they are Controlled Affiliates thereof), in each case that is intended to qualify as a “venture capital operating company” as defined in the Plan Asset Regulations, that holds Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Conversion Shares (each, a “VCOC Investor Stockholder”), at the written request of such VCOC Investor Stockholder, the Company shall, with respect to each such VCOC Investor Stockholder:

     (i) provide such VCOC Investor Stockholder or its designated representative with the following: (1) the right to visit and inspect any of the offices and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries and inspect and copy the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the VCOC Investor Stockholder shall reasonably request; (2) copies of the information set forth in Section 2.3(a); and (3) copies of all materials provided to the Board; and

     (ii) make appropriate officers and members of the Board available periodically and at such times as reasonably requested by such VCOC Investor Stockholder for consultation with such VCOC Investor Stockholder or its designated representative with respect to matters relating to the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including significant changes in management personnel and compensation of employees, introduction of new products or new lines of business, important acquisitions or dispositions of plants and equipment, significant research and development programs, the purchasing or selling of important trademarks, licenses or concessions or the proposed commencement or compromise of significant litigation;

     The Company reserves the right to withhold any information and restrict access pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above (A) to the extent such information or access could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, (B) to any VCOC Investor Stockholder that is not a party to this Agreement, unless such VCOC Investor Stockholder agrees to be bound by, but not benefit from, the obligations under this Agreement as an Investor Stockholder, or (C) to any VCOC Investor Stockholder that is a direct competitor of the Company.

     (b) The Company agrees to consider, in good faith, the recommendations of each VCOC Investor Stockholder or its designated representative in connection with the matters on which it is consulted as described above, recognizing that the ultimate discretion with respect to all such matters shall be retained by the Company.

ARTICLE 3
Transfers

     Section 3.1. Transfer Restrictions.

     (a) No Investor Stockholder shall Transfer any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares other than as expressly permitted by, and in compliance with, the other provisions of this Section 3.1. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.1 shall terminate upon the consummation of a Fundamental Change.

     (b) Subject to Section 3.1(d), prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period Termination Date”), no Investor Stockholder shall Transfer any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, other than as expressly permitted by, and in compliance with, the following provisions of this Section 3.1(b):

     (i) An Investor Stockholder may Transfer any or all of its shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares (A) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) pursuant to any tender offer, exchange offer, merger, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which stockholders of the Company are offered, permitted or required to participate as holders of any of the Company’s Capital Stock, provided that such transaction is an Approved Transaction which, to the extent of any Transfer of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, provides for such Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock to receive consideration no greater than the higher of (x) the consideration on a per share as-converted basis deliverable with respect to the Common Stock and (y) the Regular Liquidation Preference.

     (ii) An Investor Stockholder may Transfer any or all of its shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares to any Permitted Transferee of such Investor Stockholder; provided that such Permitted Transferee (A) agrees to be bound hereunder as an Investor Stockholder, (B) agrees that the representations, covenants and other agreements made by the assignor herein shall be deemed to have been made by such Transferee, (C) shall execute a counterpart to this Agreement, the execution of which shall constitute such Transferee’s agreement to the terms of this Section 3.1(b)(ii), and (D) agrees that all notices hereunder to it may be delivered to Elevation on its behalf. Upon such a Transfer, the Permitted Transferee shall be deemed an Investor Stockholder hereunder and shall be entitled to the rights, and subject to the obligations and restrictions, contained herein.

     (iii) The Investor Stockholders may, solely for the purpose of securing bona fide indebtedness for borrowed money (a “Secured Loan”) from any bank or financial institution (“Lenders”), make a bona fide pledge of any or all of the Purchased Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares and such Lenders may execute a bona

fide foreclosure upon such Purchased Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in any such Secured Loan, provided that any pledge or other contractual encumbrance or foreclosure resulting from a Secured Loan (including an obligation to repay such Secured Loan with the proceeds of any Transfer of, or dividend or distribution on, any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares) shall not be deemed to be a Transfer associated with such shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Loans of the Investor Stockholders may not exceed 30% of the aggregate fair market value, on the date of the incurrence of any such Secured Loan, of all of the Purchased Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants and/or Warrant Shares pledged to secure such indebtedness.

     (iv) The Investor Stockholders shall Transfer shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants to the extent required pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 2.3 of the Series C Purchase Agreement.

     As used herein, “Approved Transaction” means any tender offer, exchange offer, merger, sale of the Company, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other transaction that either (x) has been approved or recommended by the Board (and which at the time of Transfer continues to be approved or recommended by the Board) or (y) has not been effectively precluded by operation of the Company Rights Agreement because either (1) the Board has taken action such that the acquiring person in such transaction would not be an “Acquiring Person” (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) or such that the “Distribution Date” (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) would not occur in connection with such transaction or the Rights will otherwise not effectively preclude such transaction or (2) an Order has been issued invalidating or enjoining operation of the Company Rights Agreement in respect of such transaction. To the extent that any tender offer is effectively precluded by operation of the Company Rights Agreement, the Company will take such actions under its control as are reasonably requested by the Investor Stockholders so as to enable the Investor Stockholders to timely tender into such offer prior to expiration thereof (including any extensions thereto), shares of Common Stock that would be received upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants, in each case in the event the tender offer is no longer effectively precluded, without requiring conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants, in each case until after such time as such tender offer is no longer effectively precluded.

     (c) After the Restricted Period Termination Date, the Investor Stockholders shall have the right to Transfer any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares without restriction hereunder, subject to the provisions of Section 2.8, Section 3.1(d), Section 3.1(e), Section 3.1(f), Section 3.1(g) and Section 3.2, provided that in the case of any Transfer to a Permitted Transferee, such

Permitted Transferee (i) agrees to be bound hereunder as an Investor Stockholder, (ii) agrees that the representations, covenants and other agreements made by the assignor herein shall be deemed to have been made by such Transferee, (iii) shall execute a counterpart to this Agreement, the execution of which shall constitute such Transferee’s agreement to the terms of this Section 3.1(c), and (iv) agrees that all notices hereunder to it may be delivered to Elevation on its behalf. Upon such a Transfer, the Permitted Transferee shall be deemed an Investor Stockholder hereunder and shall be entitled to the rights, and subject to the obligations and restrictions, contained herein.

     (d) No Investor Stockholder may, together with its Affiliates, in any single transaction or series of related transactions, whether on, before or after the Restricted Period Termination Date, Transfer to any Person or group of related Persons (other than Permitted Transferees) shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares to the extent such Person or group of related Persons would, to the knowledge of such Investor Stockholder after due inquiry (it being understood that due inquiry shall not be required in circumstances where the purchaser in a sale transaction is not reasonably identifiable, such as in a “brokers’ transaction” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act), upon completion of the Transfer of such Conversion Shares Beneficially Own more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Common Stock, unless such Transfer (i) has been approved by, or is in connection with a transaction approved or recommended by, the Board, (ii) is made pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation or similar transaction that is an Approved Transaction, or (iii) is to an underwriter or placement agent in a Public Offering, provided that such underwriter or placement agent implements reasonable protections to the extent practicable so that such offering will not be made to, and would not reasonably facilitate the acquisition of Common Stock by, a Person or group of related Persons who after such offering would Beneficially Own more than 10% of the Common Stock. To the extent that any tender offer is not an Approved Transaction, the Company will take such actions under its control as are reasonably requested on a non-public basis and in compliance with Section 4.2 by the Investor Stockholders so as to enable the Investor Stockholders to timely tender into such offer prior to expiration thereof (including any extensions thereto), shares of Common Stock that would be received upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or upon exercise of the Warrants, in the event the tender offer becomes an Approved Transaction, without requiring conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants until after such time as such tender offer is an Approved Transaction.

     (e) Any Transfer not made in accordance with this Section 3.1 shall be null and void and of no force or effect regardless of whether the proposed Transferee had actual or constructive knowledge of the Transfer restrictions set forth herein, and no such proposed Transfer will be recorded on the stock transfer books of the Company.

     (f) (i) Subject to applicable Law, the Investor Stockholders (other than the Appointed Directors and the Investor Directors with respect to any Equity Securities held directly by such Persons, or indirectly by such Persons through family trusts, or similar arrangements or held directly by family members sharing the same household as the Appointed Director or Investor

Director) will not be subject to the Company’s trading policies requiring pre-clearance or limiting trading to specified dates (it being understood that this is not intended to modify the rights or obligations set forth in the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement), and (ii) the Investor Stockholders acknowledge their obligation hereunder not to Transfer shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares in contravention of applicable Law, including each of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act.

     (g) The Investor Stockholders will comply with the Transfer notice provisions of Section 2.8. In addition, during the Information Rights Period, the Investor Stockholders will provide the Company with at least 24 hours advance notice (which notice must be delivered on a Business Day) of any Transfer (other than a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee) to be made during a period when the Company’s directors and executive offices are prohibited by Company policies from effecting any Transfer.

     (h) The Investor Stockholders shall not be subject to any restrictions on Transfer other than as set forth in this Agreement, applicable Law and to the extent applicable, the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.

     Section 3.2. Legends; Securities Act Compliance.

     (a) Each certificate representing Conversion Shares and each certificate representing Warrant Shares will bear a legend conspicuously thereon to the following effect:

     “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD UNLESS REGISTERED OR EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IN ADDITION, THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF A STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH AGREEMENT.”

     (b) In addition to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.1, the Investor Stockholders and each Permitted Transferee shall not offer, sell or legally transfer any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares except pursuant to: (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) an opinion of legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that such Transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act; (iii) pursuant to Rule 144; or (iv) a “no action” letter from the staff of the SEC addressed to the Investor Stockholders or a Permitted Transferee to the effect that the Transfer without registration would not result in a recommendation by the staff to the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto.

     (c) In the event that any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are Transferred in a Public Offering, the Company shall promptly, upon request, but in any event not later than is

necessary in order to consummate the sale of such securities pursuant to such Public Offering, remove the legend set forth above in connection with such Transfer. In the event that any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are Transferred pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall upon request, upon receipt of documentation reasonably required by the Company to confirm such Investor Stockholder’s eligibility to sell such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, promptly but in any event not later than is necessary in order to consummate the sale of such securities pursuant to Rule 144 (subject to receipt of such documentation a reasonable period of time prior to such sale), remove the second sentence of the legend set forth above in connection with such Transfer.

     (d) In the event that any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares are Transferred in compliance with Section 3.1(b)(i), the Company shall promptly, upon request, but in any event not later than is necessary in order to consummate such Transfer, remove the second sentence of the legend set forth above in connection with such Transfer.

     (e) In the event that any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares become transferable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act and the terms of this Section 3.2 no longer restrict the Transfer of such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares by the holder thereof, the Company shall promptly upon request remove the legends set forth above from the certificates representing such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares.

     (f) Upon the termination of the restrictions set forth in Section 3.1, the Company shall promptly, upon request, deliver a replacement certificate not containing the second sentence of the legend set forth above.

ARTICLE 4
Certain Covenants

     Section 4.1. Right to Maintain. During the Right to Maintain Period:

     (a) The Company shall provide the Investor Stockholders the opportunity to purchase in any Offering of the type described in clause (ii) of the definition of “Offering” (which is not also of the type described in clause (i) of the definition of “Offering”), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide the Investor Stockholders the opportunity to purchase in any Offering of the type described in clause (i) of the definition of “Offering”, up to their respective Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, in no event shall the Investor Stockholders be entitled to purchase an amount of Equity Securities in any such Offering that would cause Section 4.2 to be violated.

     (b) The Company shall send a written or electronic notice (the “Offering Notice”) in a manner it deems reasonably appropriate under the circumstances (which notice may or may not be in the same manner contemplated by Section 5.9) to Elevation on behalf of the Investor

Stockholders at the latest address or e-mail address known to the Company, indicating (i) the number of Equity Securities expected to be offered and the material terms of such Equity Securities, (ii) the expected price at which it proposes to offer such Equity Securities, or the expected formula for determining such price, (iii) the expected timing of the Offering, and (iv) the name, telephone and facsimile number or e-mail address of the Person at the Company to whom the Investor Stockholders should deliver a Response Notice (as defined below). To the extent that the Company in good faith determines that the process for the Investor Stockholders’ exercise of their rights pursuant to this Section 4.1 delays or impairs the Company’s ability to access the public markets at will, the Company shall notify the Investor Stockholders, and the Company and the Investor Stockholders will negotiate in good faith to modify such process to the extent practicable so that it no longer causes such delay or impediment (it being understood that no such negotiation shall impair or delay any impending Offering and any Offering may be consummated during such negotiations without giving the Investor Stockholders the right to participate).

     (c) As promptly as practicable after its receipt of the Offering Notice, the Investor Stockholders shall provide the Company with written notice indicating its desire to purchase Equity Securities in the Offering, and indicating the name, telephone number, facsimile number or e-mail address of the Person or Persons that the underwriter(s) of the Offering should call to coordinate with respect to any sales to such purchaser (the “Response Notice”). If the Investor Stockholders or a Permitted Transferee shall fail to provide the Company with a Response Notice prior to the earlier to occur of (i) six hours before the pricing of the Offering, and (ii) one Business Day prior to the date of the expected Offering as set forth in the Offering Notice, then the Investor Stockholders shall not be given the opportunity to purchase Equity Securities in the Offering. In any event, it shall be a condition to the Investor Stockholders’ or a Permitted Transferee’s opportunity to purchase Equity Securities in an Offering that it comply with the reasonable requests of the underwriter(s) necessary for it to purchase shares in the Offering (e.g., establishing an account with an underwriter in the Offering). The rights of the Investor Stockholders under this Section 4.1 shall not modify the restrictions set forth in Section 4.2 with respect to the then applicable Standstill Limit.

     (d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to an Offering of the type described in clause (i) of the definition of “Offering”, the Company and the Investor Stockholders will comply with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement to the extent the provisions of such Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement are then applicable.

     Section 4.2. Standstill.

     (ii) (A) solicit or participate in any solicitation of proxies with respect to any Voting Stock, or (B) seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to the voting of any Voting Stock (other than (x) the Investor Stockholders or any Affiliate or (y) other than in accordance with and consistent with the recommendation of the Board); provided, that the limitation contained in this clause (ii) shall not apply to any proposal recommended by the Board relating to a Change in Control of the Company to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders that is not instituted or proposed by any Investor Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Investor Stockholder or any 13D Group of which any Investor Stockholder or any Affiliate of an Investor Stockholder is a member;

     (iii) deposit any Voting Stock in a voting trust or, except as otherwise provided or contemplated herein, subject any Voting Stock to any arrangement or agreement with any Person with respect to the voting of such Voting Stock;

     (iv) join a 13D Group (other than a group comprising solely of the Investor Stockholders and their Permitted Transferees) or other group, or otherwise act in concert with any third Person for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of Voting Stock or Non-Voting Convertible Securities;

     (v) effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect any Change in Control of the Company;

     (b) The rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation or under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of this Section 4.3, the term “Indemnitees” shall not include any Person who is an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries in such capacity as an officer, director or employee.

If necessary, at the request of an Investor Stockholder, the Company shall promptly make any and all filings which it is required to make under the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), for the conversion of the Purchased Shares into the Conversion Shares, the exercise of the Warrants for the Warrant Shares and the exercise of the rights pursuant to Section 4.1, and the Company agrees to furnish the Investor Stockholders with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the Investor Stockholders may reasonably request, in connection with its preparation of any necessary filings or submissions to the Federal Trade Commission or the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, including, without limitation, any filings or notices necessary under the HSR Act.

not be considered an “Affiliate” or “Associate” of an Investor Stockholder under the Company Rights Agreement (i.e., definitions of “Acquiring Person” and “Beneficial Owner”, respectively), or any successor or substitute therefor. It is agreed that to the extent that any Person (a “Contracting Party”) who is not an Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof, and who is not a member of any 13D Group of which any Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof is a member, enters into an agreement, arrangement or understanding with an Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof with respect to the purchase or sale from or to such Contracting Party of any Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares or other Equity Securities (the securities that are the subject of such purchase/sale arrangement, “Subject Securities”), which agreement, arrangement or understanding is not in violation of the provisions of Section 4.2(a) (without regard to Section 4.2(b)) (to the extent directly relating to such purchase/sale, an “Unrelated Contract”), then (i) such Contracting Party and its affiliates and associates shall not be deemed to beneficially own (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) by virtue of such Unrelated Contract any Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares or other Equity Securities held by any Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof, other than the Subject Securities, and (ii) no Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof shall be deemed to beneficially own (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) by virtue of such Unrelated Contract any Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares or other Equity Securities held by the Contracting Party or its associates and affiliates, other than any Subject Securities (it being understood, for the purposes of clarity, that this sentence shall not in any way exclude from operation of the Company Rights Agreement (or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) the effects of (A) any other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the acquisition, disposition, holding or voting of any Equity Securities other than the purchase or sale, as applicable, of the Subject Securities and/or (B) any acting in concert by any Persons with respect to the acquisition, disposition, holding or voting of any Equity Securities other than the purchase or sale, as applicable, of the Subject Securities. To the extent that any Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares or other Equity Securities held by any Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof are subject to any bona fide pledge (but not a foreclosure thereon) or contractual encumbrance (collectively, “Encumbrances”) resulting from a bona fide incurrence of indebtedness for money borrowed that is not entered into with the intent or purpose of effecting any action that would otherwise be prohibited by Section 4.2(a) or Article 3 (“Loans”) from any bank or financial institution (a “Loan Party”) (such securities, “Pledged Securities”), (x) no Loan Party or any of its associates or affiliates shall be deemed to beneficially own (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) by virtue of any such Encumbrances or agreements (to the extent directly relating to such Loans) any such Pledged Securities except any Equity Securities acquired by such Lender as a result of the foreclosure on such Pledged Securities and (y) no Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof shall be deemed to beneficially own (as defined in the Company Rights Agreement or its comparable

term/provision under any successor or substitute shareholder rights plan) any Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares or other Equity Securities held by any Loan Party or any of its associates or affiliates by virtue of any such Encumbrances, or such agreements (to the extent directly relating to such Loans). In furtherance of the foregoing, during the Standstill Period, the Company shall in connection with any amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement (the terms or provisions so amended, modified or supplemented, the “Amended Terms”), take such action as necessary to amend, modify or supplement the Company Rights Agreement (as amended from time to time), or any other shareholder rights plan then in effect, in each case to give effect to such Amended Terms (to the extent applicable) in the Company Rights Agreement, as may be amended or otherwise modified or supplemented from time to time, or any other shareholder rights plan then in effect, contemporaneously with such amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement.

     (b) In addition, for the purpose of seeking an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 16b-3), the Company shall, upon receiving reasonable prior notice from any Investor Stockholder or Elevation Entity, request that the Board or the applicable committee of the Board approve, in accordance with Rule 16b-3 and SEC no-action letters thereunder, any acquisitions from, or dispositions to, the Company of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares or other Equity Securities, to the extent made by any Investor Stockholder, Elevation Entity or Affiliate thereof who is or will become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company.

Any disagreement, issue, dispute, claim, demand or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) shall be brought in the Chancery Court of Delaware, so long as such court shall have subject matter jurisdiction over such Dispute, or if it does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Dispute, the United States District Court or other state court in Delaware having jurisdiction of the Dispute. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Dispute and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Dispute in any such court and that any such Dispute which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such Dispute may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 5.9 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

     (b) Each party agrees that there shall be no special, exemplary, punitive or multiple damages connected with or resulting from any breach of this Agreement, or actions undertaken in connection with or related hereto, including any such damages which are based upon breach of contract, tort, breach of warranty, strict liability, statute, operation of law or any other theory of recovery, except to the extent such damages are actually incurred by a party hereunder to a third party, and hereby waives any rights to claim such damages. For purposes of clarity, the foregoing does not exclude consequential, indirect or incidental damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no damages (including lost profits) based on potential appreciation of the value of the Common Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Warrants of hypothetical investment returns or of potential alternative investments shall be taken into account in determining the amount of damages.

     Section 5.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
