Section 2. Registration Rights.

(a) Shelf Registration Statement.

Any such registration pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Shelf Registration.” For so long as the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 (or successor form), the Company shall maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement for the maximum period permitted by SEC rules, and shall replace any Shelf Registration Statement at or before expiration, if applicable, with a successor effective Shelf Registration Statement to the extent any Registrable Securities remain outstanding (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”).

(b) Right to Request Shelf Take-Down. At any time and from time to time during the Shelf Period, one or more of the TPG Stockholders may, by written notice to the Company, request an offering of all or part of the Registrable Securities held by the TPG Stockholders (a “Shelf Take-Down”); provided, however, that the expected aggregate gross proceeds for any Shelf Take-Down involving Substantial Marketing Efforts are at least one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000); provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Shelf Take-Down if the Company (i) has determined to effect a registered underwritten offering of its equity securities for its own account and (ii) at the time of receipt of such notice has already taken substantial steps (including, but not limited to, selecting a

managing underwriter for such offering) and has proceeded and will continue to proceed with reasonable diligence to effect such offering (in such case, such request shall not count as a Shelf Take-Down involving Substantial Marketing Efforts). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any subsequent Shelf Take-Down (whether or not involving Substantial Marketing Efforts) during the ninety (90) day period following the pricing date of a completed Shelf Take-Down; provided, however, that if the TPG Stockholders are subject to a lock-up restriction pursuant to lock-up agreements entered into in connection with such completed Shelf Take-Down, then the period of such lock-up restriction, whether longer or shorter, shall apply in lieu of the 90-day period. It is understood by the parties hereto that the foregoing proviso means that (i) if the TPG Stockholders enter into a 120-day lock-up agreement in connection with a completed Shelf Take-Down, the Company shall not be obligated to effect a subsequent Shelf Take-Down (absent a lock-up waiver) pursuant to such proviso until the expiration of such lock-up agreement on the 121^st day after the pricing date of the completed Shelf Take-Down, (ii) if the TPG Stockholders enter into a 45-day lock-up agreement in connection with a completed Shelf Take-Down, the Company shall not be obligated to effect a subsequent Shelf Take-Down (absent a lock-up waiver) pursuant to such proviso until the expiration of such lock-up agreement on the 46^th day after the pricing date of the completed Shelf Take-Down, and (iii) if the managing underwriter(s) waive such lock-up agreement with respect to a proposed offering by the TPG Stockholders on the 22^nd day after such pricing date, the Company shall not be obligated to effect a subsequent Shelf Take-Down pursuant to such proviso until after such 22^nd day in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Substantial Marketing Efforts are requested, the Company shall cause there to occur Full Cooperation in connection therewith. The number of shares of Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf Take-Down shall be limited by the transfer restrictions described in the applicable subsection of Section 3.2 of the Stockholder Rights Agreement. The TPG Stockholders shall be entitled to request a maximum of two (2) Shelf Take-Downs involving Substantial Marketing Efforts in any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period.

(c) Demand Registration Statement If Shelf Registration Statement Unavailable. If the Company is ineligible to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (or successor form) in accordance with Section 2(a), upon the written request of one or more TPG Stockholders (a “Demand Registration”), the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to file promptly a registration statement on Form S-1 (or successor form) (a “Demand Registration Statement”) registering for resale such number of shares of Registrable Securities, as limited by the transfer restrictions described in the applicable subsections of Section 3.2 of the Stockholder Rights Agreement, as applicable, requested to be included in the Demand Registration Statement and have the Demand Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable. After any Demand Registration Statement has become effective, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep such Demand Registration Statement continuously effective until all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement have been sold in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth therein or are no longer outstanding.

(d) Limitations on Demand Registrations. The TPG Stockholders shall be entitled to request a maximum of two (2) Demand Registrations in any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period. A registration shall not count as a Demand Registration until the related Demand Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC.

(e) Piggyback Registration. If, at any time following the expiration of the ninety (90) day period beginning on the date hereof, the Company proposes or is required to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Common Stock or similar equity securities of the Company, whether or not for sale for its own account, on a form and in a manner that would permit registration of the Registrable Securities, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude any Special Registration, the Company shall give written notice as promptly as practicable, but not later than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated date of filing of such Registration Statement, to the TPG Stockholders of its intention to effect such registration and, in the case of each TPG Stockholder, shall include in such registration all of such TPG Stockholder’s Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request from such TPG Stockholder for inclusion therein (a “Piggyback Registration” and any such requesting TPG Stockholder that has not withdrawn its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration a “Piggyback Stockholder” with respect to such Piggyback Registration). In the event that a TPG Stockholder makes such written request, such TPG Stockholder may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter(s), if any, at any time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such Piggyback Registration. The Company may terminate or withdraw any Piggyback Registration under this Section 2(e), whether or not any TPG Stockholder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. No Piggyback Registration shall count as a Demand Registration or Shelf Take-Down to which the TPG Stockholders are entitled.

(f) Selection of Underwriters; Right to Participate. The TPG Stockholders shall have the right to select the managing underwriter(s) to administer an offering pursuant to a Demand Registration Statement or Shelf Take-Down from the Approved Underwriter List, subject to the prior consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If a Piggyback Registration under Section 2(e) is proposed to be underwritten, the Company shall so advise the TPG Stockholders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2(e). In such event, the managing underwriter(s) to administer the offering shall be chosen by the Company in its sole discretion. A TPG Stockholder may participate in a registration or offering hereunder only if such TPG Stockholder (i) agrees to sell such Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting agreement with the underwriters and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up agreements and other documents reasonably requested under the terms of such underwriting arrangements customary for selling stockholders to enter into in secondary underwritten public offerings, provided, however, that any underwriting agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of the TPG Stockholders as are customarily made by issuers to selling stockholders in secondary underwritten public offerings.

(g) Priority of Securities Offered Pursuant to Demand Registrations and Shelf Take-Downs. If the managing underwriter(s) of a Demand Registration or Shelf Take-Down shall advise the Company and the TPG Stockholders in writing that, in its good faith opinion, the total number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such Demand Registration or Shelf Take-Down exceeds the number or dollar amount that can be sold in such offering without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such shares can be sold, then the Company shall include in such Demand Registration or Shelf

Take-Down the maximum number of shares that such underwriter or agent, as applicable, advises can be so sold without having such adverse effect, allocated (i) first, to Registrable Securities requested by the TPG Stockholders to be included in such Demand Registration or Shelf Take-Down and (ii) second, to any securities requested to be included therein by any other Persons (including the Company), allocated among such Persons on a pro rata basis or in such other manner as they may agree.

(h) Priority of Securities Offered Pursuant to Piggyback Registration. If the managing underwriter(s) of a registration of shares of Common Stock giving rise to a right to Piggyback Registration shall advise the Company and the Piggyback Stockholders with respect to such Piggyback Registration in writing that, in its good faith opinion, the total number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold in such offering and Registrable Securities requested by such Piggyback Stockholders to be included therein, in the aggregate, exceeds the number or dollar amount that can be sold in such offering without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such shares can be sold, then the Company shall include in such registration the maximum number of shares that such underwriter or agent, as applicable, advises can be so sold without having such adverse effect, allocated (i) first, to shares of Common Stock requested to be included by the Company, (ii) second, to Registrable Securities requested by the TPG Stockholders to be included in such Piggyback Registration and (iii) third, any shares requested to be included therein by any other Persons (other than the Company), allocated among such Persons on a pro rata basis or in such other many as they may agree.

(i) Postponement; Suspensions; Blackout Period.

(1) The Company may postpone the filing or the effectiveness of a Demand Registration Statement or commencement of a Shelf Take-Down (or suspend the continued use of an effective Demand Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement), including requiring the TPG Stockholders to suspend any offerings of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, (i) during the pendency of a stop order issued by the SEC suspending the use of any registration statement of the Company or proceedings initiated by the SEC with respect to any such registration statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act (subject to the Company’s compliance with its obligations under Section 3(a)(xi) herein), (ii) during the first month after the end of a fiscal quarter of the Company (i.e., January, April, July and October to the extent the Company’s fiscal quarters end on December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30) if the Company delivers to the TPG Stockholders participating in such registration an officers’ certificate executed by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer stating that, based on the good faith judgment of the Company, after consultation with outside counsel to the Company, such postponement or suspension is necessary in order to avoid the premature disclosure of material non-public information (including financial results for the preceding fiscal quarter) and the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not disclosing such information publicly at that time or (iii) if, based on the good faith judgment of the Board, such postponement or suspension is necessary in order to avoid materially detrimental disclosure of material non-public information that the Board, after consultation with outside counsel to the Company, has in good faith determined (A) would be required to be made in any Demand Registration

Statement or Shelf Registration Statement so that such Registration Statement does not contain 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 if such information is not included, (B) such disclosure would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing or continued use of such Registration Statement and (C) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not disclosing publicly, and the Company delivers to the TPG Stockholders participating in such registration an officers’ certificate executed by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer stating the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) of such action to the TPG Stockholders participating in such registration, postpone or suspend use of the Demand Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable (any such postponement or suspension pursuant to Section 2(i)(1)(i), (ii) or (iii), a “Suspension”); provided, however, in each case, that the TPG Stockholder requesting a Demand Registration Statement or Shelf Take-Down shall be entitled, at any time after receiving a Suspension Notice or similar notice and before such Demand Registration Statement becomes effective or before such Shelf Take-Down is commenced, to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration or Shelf Take-Down shall not count as a Demand Registration or, if applicable, a Shelf Take-Down, involving Substantial Marketing Efforts. The Company shall provide prompt written notice to such TPG Stockholder (an “End of Suspension Notice”) of (i) the Company’s decision to file or seek effectiveness of such Demand Registration Statement or commence such Shelf Take-Down following such Suspension and (ii) the effectiveness of such Demand Registration Statement or commencement of such Shelf Take-Down. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2(i), (y) with respect to Section 2(i)(1)(ii), any such Suspension or ability to suspend pursuant to such clause shall terminate at the closing of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the second trading day after the Company issues an earnings release for the applicable preceding quarter and (z) with respect to Section 2(i)(1)(iii), the Company shall not effect a Suspension of the filing or effectiveness of a Demand Registration Statement or the commencement of a Shelf Take-Down more than twice during any twelve-month period or for a period exceeding thirty (30) days in the aggregate in any twelve-month period. No TPG Stockholder shall effect any sales of Shares pursuant to a Demand Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice.

(2) Each TPG Stockholder agrees that, except as required by applicable law, it shall treat as confidential the receipt of any Suspension Notice (provided, however, that in no event shall such notice contain any material nonpublic information of the Company) hereunder and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes public, other than as a result of disclosure by breach of the terms of this Agreement.

(j) Holdback. With respect to any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, the Company shall not (except as part of a Demand Registration or Shelf Registration), unless waived by the managing underwriter(s), effect any transfer of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock

(except pursuant to a Special Registration), during the Holdback Period. Upon request by the managing underwriter(s), the Company shall, from time to time, enter into customary holdback agreements on terms consistent with this Section 2(j).

(x) to make available to each TPG Stockholder whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement and any managing underwriter(s) as soon as reasonably practicable after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company, an executed copy of each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC (or other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction, including any domestic or foreign securities exchange), and any item of correspondence received from the SEC or the staff of the SEC (or other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction, including any domestic or foreign securities exchange), in each case relating to such Registration Statement, it being understood that each TPG Stockholder receiving such material from the Company shall and shall cause its representatives to keep such materials confidential. The Company will as soon as reasonably practicable notify the TPG Stockholders and any managing underwriter(s) of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment or the filing of the Prospectus supplement contemplated herein. the Company will as soon as reasonably practicable respond reasonably and completely to any and all comments received from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, with a view towards causing such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable and shall file an acceleration request as soon as reasonably practicable following the resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following notification by the SEC that any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review;

(xi) advise each TPG Stockholder and any managing underwriter(s), promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of (A) the issuance of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and use all reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order, injunction or other order or requirement should be issued, (B) the suspension of the registration of the subject shares of the Registrable Securities in any state jurisdiction and (C) the removal of any such stop order, injunction or other order or requirement or proceeding or the lifting of any such suspension;

(xii) upon execution of confidentiality agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, make available for inspection by one representative on behalf of all TPG Stockholders included in a Registration Statement whose Registrable Securities are included in such registration statement (to be chosen by the TPG Stockholders) and any managing underwriter(s), and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such TPG Stockholder or underwriters, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, all pertinent financial and other records and corporate documents of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such TPG Stockholder, sales or placement agent, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act that is customary for a participant in a securities offering in connection with such registration statement; provided, however, that the foregoing investigation and information gathering shall be

coordinated on behalf of such parties by one firm of counsel designated by and on behalf of such parties;

(xiii) if requested by any TPG Stockholder of Registrable Securities named in such Registration Statement or any managing underwriter(s), promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such TPG Stockholder or managing underwriter(s) reasonably requests to be included therein, including, without limitation, with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold by such TPG Stockholder, the purchase price being paid therefor by any underwriters and with respect to any other terms of an underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering, and promptly make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

(xiv) reasonably cooperate with each TPG Stockholder and any managing underwriter(s) participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority;

(xvi) if requested by the managing underwriter(s) of an underwritten offering, use reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered, upon the pricing of any underwritten offering, and at the time of closing of a sale of Registrable Securities pursuant thereto, “comfort” letters from the Company’s independent registered public accountants addressed to the underwriter(s) and, with respect to an offering by the TPG Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement, request the delivery of such “comfort” letters at such times addressed to the TPG Stockholders stating that such accountants are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and otherwise in customary form and covering such financial and accounting matters as are customarily covered by “comfort” letters of the independent registered public accountants delivered in connection with primary underwritten public offerings; provided, however, that such recipients furnish such written representations or acknowledgement as are customarily required to receive such comfort letters.

(b) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(b), as a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to file any Registration Statement, each TPG Stockholder shall furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding such TPG Stockholder (and any of its Affiliates), the Registrable Securities to be sold and the intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities reasonably requested by the Company as is reasonably necessary or advisable for inclusion in the Registration Statement relating to such offering pursuant to the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any party be required to disclose to any other party any personally identifiable information or personal financial information in respect of any individual, or confidential information of any Person.

Each TPG Stockholder agrees by acquisition of the Registrable Securities that (i) upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(a)(v), such TPG Stockholder shall forthwith discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement relating to such Registrable Securities until such TPG Stockholder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(a)(v); (ii) upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in clause (A) of Section 3(a)(xi), such TPG Stockholder shall discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement until such TPG Stockholder’s receipt of the notice described in clause (C) of Section 3(a)(xi); and (iii) upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in clause (B) of Section 3(a)(xi), such TPG Stockholder shall discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement in the applicable state jurisdiction(s) until such TPG Stockholder’s receipt of the notice described in clause (C) of Section 3(a)(xi). The length of time that any registration statement is required to remain effective shall be extended by any period of time that such registration statement is unavailable for use pursuant to this paragraph, provided, however, in no event shall any Registration Statement be required to remain effective after the date on which all Registrable Securities cease to be Registrable Securities.

Section 4. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each TPG Stockholder, its Affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, advisors, representatives and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls such TPG Stockholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, penalties, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses, joint or several (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any expenses and reasonable costs of investigation), as incurred, to which the TPG Stockholders or any such indemnitees may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, penalties, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered and sold under the Securities Act, any Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or any violation of the Securities Act or state securities laws or

rules thereunder by the Company relating to any action or inaction by the Company in connection with such registration; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, penalty, liability, claim, damage (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, any such Prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about a TPG Stockholder which is furnished to the Company by such TPG Stockholder specifically for use in such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such TPG Stockholder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such TPG Stockholder.

(b) Indemnification by the TPG Stockholders. Each TPG Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 4(a)) the Company, each member of the Board, each officer, employee and agent of the Company and each other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact from such Registration Statement, any Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about such TPG Stockholder furnished to the Company by such TPG Stockholder specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, amendment or supplement and has not been corrected in a subsequent Registration Statement, any Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the person asserting the claim; provided, however, that TPG Stockholder shall not be liable for any amounts in excess of the net proceeds received by such TPG Stockholder from sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement to which the claims relate, and provided, further, that the obligations of the TPG Stockholders shall be several and not joint and several. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Company.

(c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, such indemnified party shall permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the

expense of such person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses or (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the person entitled to indemnification hereunder. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party as permitted hereunder, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions hereof, such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise the applicable claim unless (i) such settlement or compromise contains a full and unconditional release of the indemnified party of all liability in respect to such claim or litigation or (ii) the indemnified party otherwise consents in writing. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such additional counsel or counsels. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

(d) Contribution. If the foregoing indemnity is held by a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to the Company or any TPG Stockholder, or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In connection with any registration statement filed with the SEC by the Company, the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified person on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, and by such party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, no TPG Stockholder shall be required to contribute an amount greater than the net proceeds received by such TPG Stockholder from sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement to which the claims relate (after taking into account the amount of damages which such TPG Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any and all untrue or alleged untrue statements of material fact or omissions or alleged omissions of

material fact made in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto related to such sale of Registrable Securities).

(e) No Exclusivity. The remedies provided for in this Section 4 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity or pursuant to any other agreement.

Section 5. Covenants Relating to Rule 144. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and to take such further action as any TPG Stockholder may reasonably request to enable TPG Stockholders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act from time to time within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. The Company shall, in connection with any request by TPG Stockholder in connection with a sale, transfer or other disposition by any TPG Stockholder of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 either currently or prospectively with unspecified timing, promptly cause (and in no event longer than five (5) Business Days after such request) the removal of any restrictive legend or similar restriction on the Registrable Securities, and, in the case of book-entry shares, make or cause to be made appropriate notifications on the books of the Company’s transfer agent for such number of shares and registered in such names as the TPG Stockholders may reasonably request and to provide a customary opinion of counsel and instruction letter required by the Company’s transfer agent.

Section 6. Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the TPG Stockholders, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are equivalent to or more favorable than the registration rights granted to the TPG Stockholders hereunder, or which would reduce the amount of Registrable Securities the holders can include in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof, unless such rights are subordinate to those of the holders of Registrable Securities.

Section 7. Miscellaneous.

(a) Termination; Survival. The rights of each TPG Stockholder under this Agreement shall terminate upon the date that all of the Registrable Securities held by such TPG Stockholder cease to be Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the parties under Sections 3(a)(viii), 4, 5 and this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort, by statute or otherwise, shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof or of any other jurisdiction that would result in the application of another law.

(c) Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. All actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York

state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York. The parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York for the purpose of any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune of from attachment or execution, that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO THAT THIS SECTION 7(C) CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THEY ARE RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 7(C) WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

(d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the documents and the instruments referred to herein), together with the Merger Agreement and the Stockholder Rights Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings, and agreements (including any draft agreements) with respect thereto, whether written or oral, none of which shall be used as evidence of the parties’ intent.

(e) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid and binding unless it is in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto. No waiver of any right or remedy hereunder, to the extent legally allowed, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party making such waiver. No waiver by any party of any breach or violation of, default under, or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach, violation, default of, or inaccuracy in, any such representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendments may be made to this Agreement that adversely affect any TPG Stockholder in a manner different than any other TPG Stockholder without such adversely affected TPG Stockholder’s prior written consent.

(f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to their respective successors and permitted assignee. A “permitted assignee” means any Affiliate of any TPG Stockholder who executes and delivers to the Company a joinder to this Agreement providing that such assignee shall be bound by and shall fully comply with the terms of this Agreement as a “TPG Stockholder”. Any successor or permitted assignee of any TPG Stockholder shall be deemed a TPG Stockholder for all purposes of this Agreement to the extent such successor or permitted assignee owns Registrable Securities. No TPG Stockholder may assign its rights hereunder to any Person except to any permitted assignee.

(g) Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any Registration Statement under this Agreement shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the TPG Stockholders shall be borne by the TPG Stockholders of the Registrable Securities included in such registration. The obligation of the Company to bear the expenses provided for in this paragraph shall apply irrespective of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, is withdrawn or suspended, or converted to any other form of registration and irrespective of when any of the foregoing shall occur.

(h) Counterparts; Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or .pdf signature by any party and such signature shall be deemed binding for all purposes hereof without delivery of an original signature being thereafter required.

(i) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without rendering illegal, invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provision hereof would, under applicable law, be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, each party hereto intends that such provision shall be reformed and construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable laws and to otherwise give effect to the intent of the parties hereto.

(j) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly delivered (i) four (4) Business Days after being sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (ii) one (1) Business Day after being sent for next Business Day delivery, fees prepaid, via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service or (iii) on the date of confirmation of receipt (or, the first Business Day following such receipt if the date of such receipt is not a Business Day) of transmission by email, in each case to the intended recipient as set forth below:
