NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Resale Shelf Registration

Section 1.1 Resale Shelf Registration Statement. Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, promptly following such date as the Form S-4 (as defined in the Target Merger Agreement) has been declared effective by the SEC or, if earlier the termination of the Target Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (and in any event, provided that the Holders have sufficiently in advance provided such information as the Company may reasonably request), prepare and file a registration statement covering the sale or distribution from time to time by the Relevant Holders, on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, of all of the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the securities that are Registrable Securities at such time on Form S-3, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a registration statement on another appropriate form which shall provide for the registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by the Relevant Holders in accordance with any reasonable method of distribution elected by such Relevant Holders) (any such registration statement, the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”)

and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement that may become effective upon filing with the SEC pursuant to Rule 462(e) if Rule 462(e) is then available to the Company for such registration). Following the earlier to occur of the termination of the Target Merger Agreement and the Subsequent Closing (as defined in the Investment Agreement) (the period prior to such earlier occurrence, the “Restricted Period”), the Company and the Investor will cooperate in good faith to promptly amend the Resale Registration Statement to provide for the registration of the Registrable Securities for resale by the Holders in accordance with any reasonable method of distribution elected by the Holders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Relevant Holders or Holders, as applicable, the Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall register the resale of a number of shares of the Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of shares as is permitted by the SEC, and, subject to the provisions of this Section 1.1, the Company shall continue to its use commercially reasonable efforts to register all remaining Registrable Securities of the Relevant Holders or the Holders, as applicable, as set forth in this Section 1.1. In such event, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders, provided, however, that, prior to reducing the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be registered for any Holder in such Resale Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall first remove any shares of Registrable Securities to be registered for any Person other than a Holder that was proposed to be included in such Resale Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register all remaining Registrable Securities of the Relevant Holders or the Holders, as applicable, as promptly as practicable in accordance with the applicable rules, regulations and guidance of the SEC. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the SEC, by written comment, limits the Company’s ability to file, or prohibits or delays the filing of, a Resale Shelf Registration Statement or a Subsequent Shelf Registration with respect to any or all the Registrable Securities, the Company’s compliance with such limitation, prohibition or delay solely to the extent of such limitation, prohibition or delay shall not be a breach or default by the Company under this Agreement and shall not be deemed a failure by the Company to use “commercially reasonable efforts” as set forth above or elsewhere in this Agreement.

Section 1.2 Effectiveness Period. Once declared effective, the Company shall, subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be continuously effective and usable until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”).

Section 1.3 Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement. If any Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as reasonably practicable cause such Shelf Registration Statement to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the

-2-

effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as reasonably practicable amend such Shelf Registration Statement in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement or file an additional registration statement (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”) for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the Relevant Holders, or the Holders (as applicable) thereof of all securities that are Registrable Securities held by them as of the time of such filing. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement that shall become effective upon filing with the SEC pursuant to Rule 462(e) if Rule 462(e) is then available to the Company for such registration) and (b) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and usable until the end of the Effectiveness Period. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be a registration statement on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form (including Form S-1, if available) and shall provide for the registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by the Relevant Holders or Holders, as applicable, in accordance with any reasonable method of distribution elected by the applicable Holders.

Section 1.4 Supplements and Amendments. The Company shall supplement and amend any Shelf Registration Statement if required by the Securities Act or the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement.

Section 1.5 Subsequent Holder Notice. If following the Restricted Period a Person entitled to the benefits of this Agreement becomes a Holder of Registrable Securities after a Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, following delivery of written notice to the Company of such Person becoming a Holder and requesting for its name to be included as a selling securityholder in the prospectus related to the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Subsequent Holder Notice”):

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

(b) if, pursuant to Section 1.5(a), the Company shall have filed a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement that is not automatically effective, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable; and

-3-

(c) notify such Holder as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 1.5(a).

Section 1.6 Shelf Take-Downs.

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

(b) Subject to any applicable restrictions on transfer in the Investment Agreement or under applicable law, a Holder holding Registrable Securities included on any Shelf Registration Statement may, after any Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, deliver a written notice to the Company (the “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”) specifying that a Shelf Offering is intended to be conducted through an Underwritten Offering (such Underwritten Offering, an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), which shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down; provided, however, that the Holders of Registrable Securities may not, without the Company’s prior written consent, (i) launch an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down the anticipated gross proceeds of which shall be less than $150 million (the “Minimum Amount”) (unless all the Holders are proposing to sell all remaining Registrable Securities), (ii) launch an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down if the Holders have effected two (2) Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs pursuant to this Section 1.6 or (iii) launch an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down within the period commencing 20 days prior to and ending two (2) days following the Company’s scheduled earnings release date for any fiscal quarter or year (or such shorter period as is the Company’s customary “blackout window” applicable to directors and officers).

(c) In the event of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, the Holder(s) providing the Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice shall select the managing underwriter(s) to administer the Underwritten Shelf Take-Down; provided that the choice of such managing underwriter(s) shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which is not to be unreasonably withheld. The Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down will enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering.

(d) The Company will not include in any Underwritten Shelf Take-Down pursuant to this Section 1.6 any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Holder(s) participating in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down. If the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Company and the Holders in writing that in its or their good faith opinion the number of Registrable Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities) requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering in light of market conditions or is such so as to adversely affect the success

-4-

of such offering, the Company will include in such offering only such number of securities that can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Holders that have requested to participate in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, allocated pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders, and (ii) second, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included.

Section 1.7 Piggyback Registration.

(a) Except with respect to a Demand Registration (as defined below), the procedures for which are addressed in Article II, if following the Restricted Period the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering, whether or not for sale for its own account, of Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Stock (other than a registration statement (i) on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto or (ii) filed to effectuate an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan), in a manner that would permit registration of the Registrable Securities for sale for cash to the public under the Securities Act, then the Company shall give prompt written notice of such filing, which notice shall be given, to the extent reasonably practicable, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the filing date (the “Piggyback Notice”) to the Holders of Registrable Securities. The Piggyback Notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to include (or cause to be included) in such registration statement the number of Registrable Securities (but only Registrable Securities that are issued shares of Common Stock) as each such Holder may request (each, a “Piggyback Registration Statement”). Subject to Section 1.7(b), the Company shall include in each Piggyback Registration Statement all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein (each, a “Piggyback Request”) promptly following delivery of the Piggyback Notice (but in any event no later than three (3) Business Day prior to the filing of the Piggyback Registration Statement). The Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration Statement beyond the earlier of (x) 120 days after the effective date thereof and (y) consummation of the distribution by the Holders of all the Registrable Securities included in such registration statement. The Company may withdraw a Piggyback Registration Statement at any time prior to any sales being made pursuant to the Piggyback Registration Statement without incurring any liability to the Holders, in which case the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register the Registrable Securities with respect to such withdrawn Piggyback Registration Statement.

(b) If any of the securities to be registered pursuant to the registration giving rise to the rights under this Section 1.7 are to be sold in an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit Holders of Registrable Securities who have timely submitted a Piggyback Request in connection with such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities included in each Holder’s Piggyback Request on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as any other shares of capital stock, if any, of the Company included in the Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering advise the Company that in its or their good faith opinion the number of securities exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering in light of market

-5-

conditions or is such so as to adversely affect the success of such offering, the Company will include in such Underwritten Offering only such number of securities that can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities proposed to be sold by the Company for its own account and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities of the Holders and any other persons with piggyback registration rights who have the right to participate and that have requested to participate in such offering, allocated pro rata among the selling shareholders according to the total number of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling shareholder and its Affiliates (other than the Company) or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed by such selling shareholders.

ARTICLE II

Demand Registration Rights

Section 2.1 Right to Demand Registrations. Subject to any applicable restrictions on transfer in the Investment Agreement or under applicable law, a Holder may, following the later of the one year anniversary of the date of this Agreement and the last day of the Restricted Period (but solely during any period that the Company is then ineligible under applicable law to register Registrable Securities under Form S-3 or, if the Company is so eligible but has failed to comply with its obligations under Section 1.1 or Section 1.3, and only if there is no Shelf Registration Statement then in effect covering all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder of the class of securities sought to be registered), request, by providing written notice to the Company, that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or part of the securities that are Registrable Securities at such time (a “Demand Registration”). Each request for a Demand Registration (a “Demand Registration Request”) shall specify the number of Registrable Securities, of each class, intended to be offered and sold pursuant to the Demand Registration and the intended method of distribution thereof, including whether it is intended to be an Underwritten Offering. As promptly as practicable after receipt of a Demand Registration Request, the Company shall, subject to Section 2.3, use commercially reasonable efforts to register all Registrable Securities that have been requested to be registered in the Demand Registration Request; provided, that the Company shall not be required to file a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.1 (a “Demand Registration Statement”) (a) within sixty (60) days following the effective date of any prior Demand Registration Statement or (b) if the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included therein does not either (i) equal or exceed the Minimum Amount (calculated on the basis of the average closing price of a share of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market over the five trading days preceding such Demand Registration Request in the case of a demand for the registration of offers of Common Stock) or (ii) represent all of the remaining Registrable Securities.

Section 2.2 Number of Demand Registrations. The Purchaser and its Permitted Transferees shall be entitled to deliver up to a total of five (5) Demand Registration Requests (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be separate from the Resale Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Article I, other than any Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 1.6, which shall be deemed a Demand Registration for purposes of this Section 2.2 and count towards the maximum number of Demand Registration Requests), provided that not more than one (1) Demand Registration Request shall be delivered in any fiscal quarter of the Company nor more than two

-6-

(2) Demand Registration Requests in any 12-month period; provided, further that a registration shall not count as one of the Demand Registration Requests (a) until it has become effective and (b) unless the Holders of Registrable Securities are able to register and sell at least 80% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration.

Section 2.3 Underwritten Offerings Pursuant to Demand Registrations. In the event of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Demand Registration, the Holder(s) delivering the Demand Registration Request shall select the managing underwriter(s) to administer such Underwritten Offering; provided that the choice of such managing underwriter(s) shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which is not to be unreasonably withheld. If the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Company and the Holder(s) that in its or their good faith opinion the number of Registrable Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities) requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering in light of market conditions or is such so as to adversely affect the success of such offering, the Company will include in such offering only such number of securities that can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (a) first, the Registrable Securities of the Holder(s) that have requested to participate in such Underwritten Offering, allocated pro rata among such Holder(s) on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder(s) (or allocated among such Holders as such Holders shall mutually agree in writing to the Company), and (b) second, any other securities of the Company to be sold for its account.

Section 2.4 Withdrawal. A Holder may, by written notice to the Company, withdraw its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable registration statement. Upon receipt of notices from all applicable Holders to such effect, the Company shall cease all efforts to seek effectiveness of the applicable registration statement with respect to any Registrable Securities (and for the avoidance of doubt the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied in full its obligations with respect to one Demand Registration if such Demand Registration Request was for an Underwritten Offering and the Company has taken significant steps in respect of the registration).

Section 3.3 Suspension.

Such certificate shall contain a statement of the reasons for such suspension and an approximation of the anticipated length of such suspension, in accordance with the specifications set forth in this Section 3.3. The Purchaser shall keep the information contained in such certificate confidential subject to the same terms set forth in Section 3.1(l). If the Company postpones registration of Registrable Securities in response to an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice or requires the Holders to suspend any Underwritten Offering, the applicable Holders shall be entitled to withdraw such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice, and if they do so, such request shall not be treated for any purpose as the delivery of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice pursuant to Section 1.6.

Section 3.4 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to Article I or Article II shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders of the Registrable Securities shall be borne, pro rata, by such Holders included in such registration.

Section 3.5 Cooperation by Holders. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall, and the Purchaser shall cause such Holder or Holders to, furnish to the Company the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder or Holders, the distribution proposed by them and such information regarding them and their Affiliates as the Company or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Company under Article I and Article II are conditioned on the timely provisions

Section 4.1 Indemnification by Company. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will, with respect to any Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement or prospectus, or as to which registration, qualification or compliance under applicable “blue sky” laws has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each Holder’s current and former officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents, employees, and each Person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and such Holder’s current and former officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees, and each underwriter thereof, if any, and each Person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all expenses, claims, losses, damages, costs (including costs of preparation and reasonable attorney’s fees and any legal or other fees or expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or

-13-

proceeding), judgments, fines, penalties, charges, amounts paid in settlement and other liabilities, joint or several, (or actions in respect thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to the extent arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, offering circular, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other document, in each case related to such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rules or regulations thereunder applicable to the Company and (without limiting the preceding portions of this Section 4.1), the Company will reimburse each of the Company Indemnified Parties for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal expenses and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating, defending or, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.1, settling any such Losses or action, as such expenses are incurred; provided that the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable to a Holder in any such case for any such Losses or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a violation or alleged violation of any state or federal law (including any claim arising out of or based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in the registration statement or prospectus) which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such Holder furnished to the Company by such Holder or its authorized representatives expressly for use in connection with such registration by or on behalf of any Holder.

Section 4.2 Indemnification by Holders. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which registration or qualification or compliance under applicable “blue sky” laws is being effected, indemnify, severally and not jointly with any other Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company, each of its representatives, each Person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Parties”), against all Losses (or actions in respect thereof) to the extent arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, offering circular, “issuer free writing prospectus” or other document, in each case related to such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each of the Holder Indemnified Parties for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal expenses and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating, defending or, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.2, settling any such Losses or action, as such expenses are incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, “issuer free writing prospectus” or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such Holder furnished to the Company by such Holder or its authorized representatives and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this

-14-

Section 4.2 payable by the Purchaser and any Holder exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds received by such Holder in respect of the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the registration statement. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the applicable Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 4.3 Notification. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article IV (each, an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party required to provide indemnification (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any proceeding as to which indemnity is sought. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party as promptly as reasonably practicable after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or proceeding, to assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or litigation, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such Indemnified Party hereunder for any legal expenses and other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or litigation, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the Indemnified Party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay or (iii) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay such fees and expenses. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall relieve an Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article IV only to the extent that the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial or harmful to such Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (A) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. The indemnity agreements contained in this Article IV shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnification set forth in this Article IV shall be in addition to any other indemnification rights or agreements that an Indemnified Party may have. An Indemnifying Party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any Indemnified Party a conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Party and any other Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim.

-15-

Section 4.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article IV is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party, other than pursuant to its terms, with respect to any Losses or action referred to therein, then, subject to the limitations contained in this Article IV, the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made (or omitted) by, or relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, or such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 was determined solely upon pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount any Holder will be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 3.4 will be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by such Holder in respect of the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the registration statement which gives rise to such obligation to contribute. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

ARTICLE V

Transfer and Termination of Registration Rights

Section 5.1 Transfer of Registration Rights. Any rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to a Holder under this Agreement may be transferred or assigned (a) to any Investor in connection with a Transfer (as defined in the Investment Agreement) of Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, to such Person in a Transfer pursuant to Section 5.08(b)(i)(permitted affiliate transfers) of the Investment Agreement or (b) by a pledge by such Holder of its rights and an assignment by such Holder of its rights in connection with a foreclosure under a pledge of Registrable Securities, in each case, pursuant to any Back Leverage (as defined in the Investment Agreement); provided, however, that, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b) (with respect to clause (b), only in the case of an assignment by such Holder of such rights), (i) prior written notice of such assignment of rights is given to the Company and (ii) such Investor agrees in writing to be bound by, and subject to, this Agreement as a “Holder” pursuant to a written instrument in form of Exhibit B hereto.

Section 5.2 Termination of Registration Rights. The rights of any particular Holder to cause the Company to register securities under Article I or Article II shall terminate with respect to such Holder upon the date upon which such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities (or any shares of Series B Preferred Stock convertible into Common Stock, which Common Stock would constitute Registrable Securities at such time).

No party hereto shall raise the use of electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through electronic means as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense. This Amendment may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Amendment effective as of the date first written above.
