ARTICLE II

DESIGNATION AND DIVIDENDS

Section 2.01 Designations. A total of 175,000 shares of Preferred Stock will be designated as a series known as Cumulative Series A Convertible Preferred Shares.

Section 2.02 Dividends.

(a) From and after the date of issuance of each share of the Series A Preferred Shares, Holders shall be entitled to receive in respect of each such share of Series A Preferred Shares, only if and when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors or any authorized committee thereof, cumulative dividends accruing on a daily basis at the Dividend Rate on the Current Liquidation Preference of such share of Series A Preferred Shares as in effect from time to time, payable in cash in arrears on each Regular Dividend Payment Date, and, to the extent not paid on any Regular Dividend Payment Date, automatically compounded (regardless of whether or not declared), quarterly in arrears on such Regular Dividend Payment Date. Regular Dividends will be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed over a year of 360 days consisting of 12 30- day months.

(b) At any time and from time to time when there are Accrued Dividends, the Company’s Board of Directors, or any authorized committee thereof, may declare and cause the Company to pay in cash, to the Holders on a record date fixed in accordance with Section 213 of the DGCL (which record date shall be not less than three nor more than 60 days prior to the next occurring Regular Dividend Payment Date), a dividend per share of Series A Preferred Shares equal to all or a portion of such Accrued Dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Shares to the next occurring Regular Dividend Payment Date.

7

(c) Except as set forth in Section 2.02(a) in respect of the compounding of Accrued Dividends if not paid on the applicable Regular Dividend Payment Date, (i) no Regular Dividend may be declared with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares unless paid to the Holders immediately in cash (it being understood that no Regular Dividends may be declared and paid in securities or otherwise “in kind”) and (ii) no Regular Dividend shall be declared or paid in anticipation of a redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares or any liquidation of the Company.

(d) No dividend or other distribution on the Class A Common Stock (whether in cash, securities or other property, or any combination of the foregoing) will be declared or paid unless, at the time(s) of such declaration and payment, an equivalent dividend or distribution is declared and paid, respectively, on the Series A Preferred Shares (such a dividend or distribution on the Series A Preferred Shares, a “Participating Dividend,” and such corresponding dividend or distribution on the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock Participating Dividend”), such that (1) the record date and the payment date for such Participating Dividend occur on the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for such Common Stock Participating Dividend and (2) the kind and amount of consideration payable per share of Series A Preferred Shares in such Participating Dividend is the same kind and amount of consideration that would be payable in the Common Stock Participating Dividend in respect of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be issuable in respect of one share of Series A Preferred Shares that is converted pursuant to an Optional Conversion (without giving effect to any limitations on conversion set forth in the proviso to Section 5.01 or Section 5.04) with a Conversion Date occurring on such record date (subject to the same arrangements, if any, in such Common Stock Participating Dividend not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Participating Dividend will be required to be declared or paid in respect of any event for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required pursuant to Section 5.03. If the Redemption Date for any shares of Series A Preferred Shares is on or after the close of business on a record date set for payment of any Participating Dividends and prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date, the Holder of such shares as of such record date shall be entitled to receive such Participating Dividend, notwithstanding the redemption of such shares prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date.

(e) If the Conversion Date for any shares of Series A Preferred Shares is prior to the close of business on a record date set for the payment of any Dividends, the Holder of such shares will not be entitled to such Dividend in respect of such record date. If the Conversion Date for any shares of Series A Preferred Shares is on or after the close of business on a record date set for payment of any Dividends and prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date, the Holder of such shares as of such record date shall be entitled to receive such Dividend, notwithstanding the conversion of such shares prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date.

Section 2.03 Ranking. The Series A Preferred Shares (inclusive of any and all Dividends thereon) shall rank senior in priority of payment to all existing and future Preferred Stock and other Capital Stock in respect of dividends and with respect to any distribution upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company as set forth in Article III, and until the Series A Preferred Shares have in their entirety been redeemed or converted into Class A Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designation, no dividends or distributions on, or purchases or redemptions of, other Preferred Stock and other Capital Stock, shall be made, paid or declared (except for Restricted Payments permitted under Section 3.1 of the Investors Rights Agreement and liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 3.01).

Holders shall not be entitled to any further payments in the event of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company other than what is expressly provided for in this Section 3.01 and will have no right or claim to any of the Company’s remaining assets.

ARTICLE IV

REDEMPTION

Section 4.02 Selection of Series A Preferred Shares to Be Redeemed.

Provisions herein that apply to shares of Series A Preferred Shares called for redemption also apply to portions of Series A Preferred Shares called for redemption.

9

Section 4.03 Notice of Redemption. The Company shall deliver electronically or mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a notice of redemption not less than 10 Business Days and not more than 30 Business Days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed (except in connection with a redemption that is subject to one or more conditions precedent, in which case such Redemption Date may extend until all such conditions are satisfied or waived by the Company). To the extent requested by the Company in accordance with Section 2.4(y) of the Investors Rights Agreement, the applicable Holder shall provide a statement to the Issuer in connection with such redemption that such Holder does not have actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances (after reasonable inquiry, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall not be required to make any inquiries of its limited partners, shareholders, or other holders of equity in it) that would reasonably be expected to cause such redemption to fail to qualify for sale or exchange treatment under Section 302(b) of the Code as a result of directly, indirectly or constructively (within the meaning of Section 302 of the Code) owning any other class of equity of the Company.

The notice shall identify the Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed and shall state:

(f) that the certificate representing the Series A Preferred Shares (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in customary form) called for redemption must be surrendered to the Company to collect the Redemption Price (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such failure by the holder to deliver such certificate (or such an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) shall not affect the effectiveness of the redemption as to such Series A Preferred Shares on the Redemption Date, including with respect to the cessation of the accrual of Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares or the portions of Series A Preferred Shares called for redemption, other than the Company’s entitlement to delay payment of the Redemption Price until such certificate (or such an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) has been surrendered to the Company);

10

(g) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, the Series A Preferred Shares called for redemption shall cease to accrue Dividends on and after the Redemption Date; and

(h) any condition to such redemption (which may be waived by the Company in its sole discretion).

Solely in the case of optional redemption in accordance with Section 4.07, such notice of redemption, and the related redemption, may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, and the surrender of any certificate(s) representing the Series A Preferred Shares (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) called for redemption (which may be waived by the Company in its sole discretion). In addition, if such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date as stated in such notice, or by the redemption date as so delayed. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person; provided that the Company shall remain liable for any failure by such Person to pay such Redemption Price or perform such obligations.

Section 4.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is delivered to the Holders in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof, subject to satisfaction, or waiver by the Company, of any conditions precedent relating thereto specified in the applicable notice of redemption, the Redemption Price of the Series A Preferred Shares called for redemption shall become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date. The notice, if delivered, mailed or caused to be mailed in a manner specified in Section 9.01 hereof, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.

Section 4.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.

(a) The aggregate Redemption Price will be due and payable, and paid in cash in immediately available funds, to the respective holders of the Series A Preferred Shares on the applicable Redemption Date subject to satisfaction, or waiver by the Company, of any conditions precedent relating thereto specified in the applicable notice of redemption. Prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with each Holder money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Series A Preferred Shares of such Holder to be redeemed on that Redemption Date, subject to satisfaction or waiver by the Company of any conditions precedent relating thereto specified in the applicable notice of redemption. Each such Holder shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Holders by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of, and, pursuant to Section 4.09, Dividends on, all Series A Preferred Shares of such Holder to be redeemed.

11

(b) If the Company complies with the provisions of Section 4.05(a), on and after the Redemption Date, Dividends shall cease to accrue on the Series A Preferred Shares or the portions of Series A Preferred Shares called for redemption. If the amounts required to be paid in respect of any share of Series A Preferred Shares called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 4.05(a), without prejudice to any other rights that a Holder may have under Applicable Law or in equity, the Company shall pay on the date on which such amounts are actually paid, an additional amount equal to the amount of Dividends that would have accrued (i) on the unpaid Current Liquidation Preference of such share of Series A Preferred Shares, from the Redemption Date until such Current Liquidation Preference is paid, and (ii) to the extent lawful, on any Regular Dividends accumulated to the Redemption Date on such unpaid Current Liquidation Preference, in each case, at the Dividend Rate.

Section 4.06 Series A Preferred Shares Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of any Series A Preferred Shares certificate that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue a new Series A Preferred Shares certificate equal in Current Liquidation Preference to the unredeemed portion of the Series A Preferred Shares surrendered.

Section 4.07 Optional Redemption.

(a) At any time from and after the second anniversary of the Issue Date, the Company may on one or more occasions redeem all (or a part, in accordance with Section 4.02) of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Shares held by the Holders on a pro rata basis, upon written notice as described under Section 4.03 hereof for an amount per share equal to the Optional Redemption Price that shall be paid in cash, subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by the Company of, any conditions precedent, on the Redemption Date set forth in the notice required under Section 4.03.

(b) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 4.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 4.01 through Section 4.06 hereof and, may, for the avoidance of doubt, at the Company’s option, be subject to one or more conditions precedent (which may be waived by the Company in its sole discretion).

(c) In addition to any redemption pursuant to this Section 4.07, the Company may at any time and from time to time purchase Series A Preferred Shares in open market and privately negotiated transactions.

(d) In any event, notwithstanding the Company’s delivery of any notice of an optional redemption pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.07, each Holder will have the right, by complying with Article V prior to the applicable Redemption Date, to convert all, or any whole number of Series A Preferred Shares that is less than all, of its Series A Preferred Shares into Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 5.01 prior to any such optional redemption pursuant to this Section 4.07.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.01 or Section 4.03 to the contrary, the Company shall provide notice of such Change of Control Redemption at least twenty (20) days before the

12

Notwithstanding the Company’s delivery of any notice of a Change of Control Redemption pursuant to the foregoing sentence, each Holder will have the right by complying with Article V prior to the applicable Redemption Date, to convert (which conversion shall permit such Holder to participate in such Change of Control in the same manner as other holders of Class A Common Stock) all, or any whole number of Series A Preferred Shares that is less than all, of its Series A Preferred Shares into Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 5.01 prior to any such Change of Control Redemption.

(b) The Company shall, concurrently with the occurrence of any Refinancing Event, redeem all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares at a price per share equal to the Refinancing Redemption Price (any such redemption, a “Refinancing Redemption”). Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.01 or Section 4.03 to the contrary, the Company shall provide notice of such Refinancing Redemption at least twenty (20) days before the applicable Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the Company’s delivery of any notice of a Refinancing Redemption pursuant to the foregoing sentence, each Holder will have the right by complying with Article V prior to the applicable Redemption Date, to convert all, or any whole number of Series A Preferred Shares that is less than all, of its Series A Preferred Shares into Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 5.01 prior to any such Refinancing Redemption.

(c) At any time on or after the seventh anniversary of the Issue Date, at the request of the Holder Majority, the Company will cause all Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding to be redeemed in cash at a price per share (expressed as a percentage of the Current Liquidation Preference per share of the Series A Preferred Shares) equal to 150.00% (such price, the “Holder Redemption Price” and such redemption, a “Holder Redemption”) and the Redemption Date for such redemption shall be a date not later than 90 days after such request is received by the Company; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (c), at any time on or after the seventh anniversary of the Issue Date, at the request of MINKE IMC Inc. (so long as MINKE IMC Inc. is at such time a Holder hereunder), the Company will cause all Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding and held by MINKE IMC Inc. to be redeemed in cash at a price per share (expressed as a percentage of the Current Liquidation Preference per share of the Series A Preferred Shares) equal to the Holder Redemption Price and the Redemption Date for such redemption shall be a date not later than 90 days after such request is received by MINKE IMC Inc.

(d) If a Material Event Redemption is triggered and the Company does not have funds legally available for the redemption of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Shares, the Company shall redeem a pro rata portion of each Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Shares (to the extent not converted as provided herein) to the fullest extent of such funds legally available, based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed if the Company’s legally available funds were sufficient to redeem all such shares, and shall redeem the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Shares as soon as practicable after the Company has funds legally available therefor. At any time thereafter when additional funds are legally available for the redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the Series A Preferred Shares or such portion thereof as the Company is then able to redeem.

13

Section 4.09 Accrued and Unaccumulated Dividends. Any redemption of Series A Preferred Shares, whether optional or mandatory, will be accompanied by the payment of all Accrued Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares so redeemed to the applicable Redemption Date.

ARTICLE V

CONVERSION

Section 5.01 Optional Conversion. Subject to the conversion procedures set forth in Section 5.02, at any time, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all, or any whole number of Series A Preferred Shares that is less than all, of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares into the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (I) the sum of (x) the Current Liquidation Preference for such shares of Series A Preferred Shares subject to conversion, plus (y) the aggregate amount of any Accrued Dividends on such shares of Series A Preferred Shares subject to conversion (other than any such Accrued Dividends for which the payment has been declared, and the applicable record date for such payment has occurred), by (II) the Conversion Price, in each case, as of immediately before the close of business on such Conversion Date (an “Optional Conversion”); provided that, prior to the expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to an Optional Conversion, such Optional Conversion shall be effected only with respect to that number of shares of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares that can be converted without exceeding such Holder’s Individual Holder Conversion Cap, and, after such expiration or early termination, such Optional Conversion shall be effected with respect to the remainder of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares.

Section 5.02 Conversion Procedures and Effect of Conversion.

(a) Conversion Procedure. A Holder must do each of the following to exercise such Holder’s right to an Optional Conversion:

(i) complete and manually or electronically sign a conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Annex A or such other form of conversion notice as has then most recently been provided to such Holder by the Company (a “Conversion Notice”) and deliver such notice to the Company in accordance with Section 9.01;

(ii) deliver to the Company the certificate or certificates (if any) representing the shares of Series A Preferred Shares to be converted or a loss affidavit reasonably acceptable to the Company; and

(iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and pay any required documentary, stamp or similar issuance or transfer taxes.

The “Conversion Date” means the first date on which such Holder has complied with the procedures in this Section 5.02(a), except that, in the case of an Optional Conversion that is effected as to less than all of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to the proviso in Section 5.01, such date shall be the Conversion Date only as to those shares as to which such Optional Conversion is being effected, and the Conversion Date with respect to the remainder of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shales shall be the first date on which such Holder has complied with such procedures as to such remaining shares.

14

The Company shall, no later than five (5) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date, issue the number of whole shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such Optional Conversion.

(b) Effect of Conversion. Effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date applicable to any shares of Series A Preferred Shares, Dividends shall no longer be declared or, subject to Section 2.02(e), paid on such shares of Series A Preferred Shares, and such shares of Series A Preferred Shares shall cease to be outstanding.

(c) Record Holder of Underlying Securities as of Conversion Date. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Class A Common Stock upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares on a Conversion Date shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of the close of business on such Conversion Date. In the case of an Optional Conversion as to which such Holder shall not in its Conversion Notice have designated the name in which shares of Class A Common Stock to be delivered upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Shares should be registered, or the manner in which such shares should be delivered, the Company shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares in the name of the Holder and in the manner shown on the records of the Company. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable in any Optional Conversion either in book-entry form through the facilities of The Depositary Trust Company (including, without limitation, the Direct Registration System service of The Depository Trust Company) or in the form of physical stock certificates or in book-entry form with the transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and the applicable Holder, each certificate or book-entry position representing shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall bear such a restrictive legend substantially in the form set forth in Appendix I hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Certificate of Designation, and will be subject to the restrictions set forth therein. In addition, each such certificate or book-entry position may have notations, additional legends or endorsements required by Applicable Law, stock exchange rules, and agreements to which the Company and all of the Holders in their capacity as Holders are subject, if any.

(d) Status of Converted or Reacquired Shares. Shares of Series A Preferred Shares converted in accordance with this Certificate of Designation, or otherwise acquired by the Company in any manner whatsoever, shall be retired promptly after the conversion or acquisition thereof. All such shares shall, upon their retirement and any filing required by the DGCL, become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular series by the board of directors pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and, if applicable this Certificate of Designation.

(e) Reservation of Shares of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for issuance upon an Optional Conversion, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon an Optional Conversion of all the shares of Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding, assuming all such shares of Series A Preferred Shares are held by a single Holder. Any shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon an Optional Conversion shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

15

(f) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be delivered to the Holders upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares. In lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable to a Holder, such Holder will be entitled to receive one additional whole share of Class A Common Stock. The determination of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be delivered to a Holder upon the conversion of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Shares and whether such number of shares would include a fractional share shall be based on the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Shares of such Holder that are being converted on the applicable Conversion Date.

Section 5.03 Anti-Dilution Adjustments.

(a) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment, without duplication, as set forth in this Section 5.03. If the Company, at any time while shares of the Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding (i) subdivides the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Class A Common Stock (which for purposes hereof shall include additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend on outstanding shares of Common Stock), (ii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Class A Common Stock or (iii) reclassifies the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a larger or smaller number of shares of Class A Common Stock, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

|  | CP1 = CP0 x (OS0 / OS1)
|  | where |  |
|  | CP0 = |  | the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification,
|  | CP1 = |  | the new Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification,
|  | OS0 = |  | the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and
|  | OS1 = |  | the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, the completion of such event.

16

Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination, as applicable. If any such event is announced or declared but does not occur, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Company announces that such event shall not occur, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such event had not been announced or declared. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made for any dividend or distribution with respect to Class A Common Stock in connection with which the Holders are entitled to a Dividend pursuant to Section 2.02.

(b) Calculation of Adjustments. All calculations with respect to the Conversion Price and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/100th of a cent (with 5/1,000ths rounded upward).

(c) Successive Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 5.03, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Section 5.03 shall cause an adjustment to each such Conversion Price as so adjusted.

(d) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as provided under this Section 5.03, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment compute the adjusted applicable Conversion Price in accordance with this Section 5.03 and provide a written notice to the Holders advising them of the occurrence of such event and setting forth the adjusted applicable Conversion Price.

Section 5.04 Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, the Company shall not effect any conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Shares, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Conversion Notice, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Stated Value of Series A Preferred Shares beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Series A Preferred Shares) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 5.04, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 5.04 applies, the determination of whether the Series A Preferred Shares are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of how many shares of Series A Preferred Shares are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Conversion Notice shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Series A Preferred Shares may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and how many shares of the Series A Preferred Shares are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial

17

Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Conversion that such Conversion Notice has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 5.04, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the applicable transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two trading days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Class A Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Series A Preferred Shares, by such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock was reported.

The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall initially be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares held by the applicable Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by written notice to the Company, which will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, the Holder may reset the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage to a higher or lower percentage; provided that such notice shall not be required in the event of a Material Event Redemption. Upon such a change by a Holder to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further amended by such Holder without first providing the minimum 61- day notice required by this Section 5.04 (except in the event of a Material Event Redemption). The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5.04 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Series A Preferred Shares.

ARTICLE VI

TRANSFERS

The issuance of new certificates will be made without charge to the Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares, and the Company shall pay for any cost incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance; provided that the Company shall not pay for any documentary, stamp or similar issuance or transfer tax in respect of the preparation, execution and delivery of such new certificates pursuant to this Section 6.01.

(c) Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company (it being understood that an affidavit of the registered holder will be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing Series A Preferred Shares, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company (provided that if the holder is a financial institution or other institutional investor its own agreement will be satisfactory), or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Company shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the Series A Preferred Shares represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

(d) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and the applicable Holder, each certificate or book-entry position representing the Series A Preferred Shares will bear a restrictive legend substantially in the form set forth in Appendix I hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Certificate of Designation, and will be subject to the restrictions set forth therein. In addition, each such certificate or book-entry position may have notations, additional legends or endorsements required by Applicable Law, stock exchange rules, and agreements to which the Company and all of the Holders in their capacity as Holders are subject, if any.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no transfer by any Holder shall be permitted unless such transfer is made in compliance with all applicable securities laws.

TRIGGER EVENTS AND REMEDIES

Section 7.01 Trigger Events. A “Trigger Event” wherever used in this Certificate of Designation, means (i) the failure of the Company to pay accrued Regular Dividends under Section 2.02(a) in cash or Participating Dividends under Section 2.02(d) on any applicable Dividend Payment Date (whether or not payment of such Dividends in cash is permitted by law)

19

or (ii) any breach in any material respect (unless the relevant provision is subject to a materiality qualification, in which case, in any respect) by the Company of (x) its obligations pursuant to Article III of the Investors Rights Agreement, or (y) payment of the applicable Redemption Price in cash for all Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed pursuant to Section 4.08 hereunder (whether or not payment of such Redemption Price is permitted by law or is excused by the last paragraph of Section 4.08). If such breach occurs and is continuing and is actually known to an Officer of the Company, the Company must send to each Holder notice of such breach promptly after it is known to an Officer of the Company.

Section 7.02 Remedies for Trigger Event. If a Trigger Event occurs and is continuing, the Dividend Rate will be subject to an increase (during the occurrence of a single Trigger Event or multiple concurrent Trigger Events) by 2.0% per annum; provided, that the Dividend Rate shall increase by only 2.00% per annum if there are multiple Trigger Events occurring and continuing (as opposed to 2.00% per annum multiplied by the number of Trigger Events). The exercise of the remedy contained in this Section 7.02 by the Holders shall not prevent the exercise of any other right or remedy by the Holders in respect of any Trigger Event.

Section 7.03 Waiver of Past Triggering Events. A Holder Majority, by written notice to the Company, may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Series A Preferred Shares, waive any existing Trigger Event and its consequences under Section 7.02. Upon any such waiver, such Trigger Event shall be deemed to have been cured for every purposes herein; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Trigger Event or impair any right consequent thereon.

ARTICLE VIII

However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its share of Series A Preferred Shares if the Company and the Holders receive written notice of revocation before the date the consent becomes effective.

A. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Issuer will issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers will purchase, such number of Series A Preferred Shares as set forth in and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement and having the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, which has been duly adopted and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

B. The Parties each desire to enter into this Agreement to establish certain additional rights of the Holders that are party hereto.

The Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS GOVERNING THE SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES

Section 1.1 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) The Series A Preferred Shares are only transferable pursuant to a Permitted Transfer.

(b) Subject to any limitations under Applicable Law, the Series A Preferred Shares may be transferred by a Purchaser to (i) Affiliates or Approved Funds of such Purchaser, (ii) other holders of Series A Preferred Shares and (iii) with the Issuer’s prior consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, other third parties (other than third parties that are at such time Disqualified Institutions); provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Material Trigger Event, the Series A Preferred Shares may be transferred by the Purchasers (including to any Disqualified Institutions) without the Issuer’s prior consent. In each case, the Issuer will reasonably cooperate with such Purchaser in connection with such permitted transfer and the Issuer will recognize and register on its books any such transfer so long as (x) the transferor provides customary documentation (including, if reasonably requested, customary legal opinions) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company confirming that such transfer complies with Applicable Law, and (y) such Series A Preferred Shares are transferred (i) to any person or entity and (ii) (other than in relation to any transfer to any Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Purchaser) solely in amounts of shares with no less than $5.0 million Stated Value (in

aggregate across all Affiliates and Approved Funds of such Purchaser) as of the time of such transfer (unless such transfer would result in the transfer of all Series A Preferred Shares held by such Holder). At the request of a Purchaser in connection with a proposed permitted resale of the Series A Preferred Shares to qualified institutional buyers without registration under the Securities Act under Rule 144A, the Issuer will agree to, while the Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, during any period in which the Issuer is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and not exempt from reporting under Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, furnish to holders of the Series A Preferred Shares and prospective purchasers of the Series A Preferred Shares designated by such Holders, upon the request of such Holders or such prospective purchasers, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. A list of Disqualified Institutions shall be made available by the Issuer to any Holder upon written request of such Holder.

(c) In addition and subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Designation, the Series A Preferred Shares are transferable, if, and only if, the transferee of such shares (who is not already a party to this Agreement) executes and delivers to the Issuer a joinder to this Agreement in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.1 to the contrary, any Purchaser or any of its Affiliates may pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its Series A Preferred Shares to any bona fide third-party lender to such Purchaser (including, in respect of any Holder that is an Affiliate or Approved Fund of Ares Capital Management LLC (any such Holder, an “Ares Holder”), Ares Capital Corporation) or such Affiliate (including to a lender successor thereto or as a result of a refinancing thereof), for purposes of securing its obligations or the obligations of any of its Affiliates to the extent required under the obligations governing such entity’s or its Affiliates’ indebtedness provided by such lender, without need of any consent, written agreement to be bound by this Agreement or other documents, instruments, opinions or certificates or any other action on the part of such Purchaser or any pledgee of such Purchaser; provided that any transfer of shares of Series A Preferred Shares by any pledgee shall remain subject to all requirements set forth in this Section 1.1.

ARTICLE II

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER AND PURCHASERS

Section 2.1 Financial Statements. Issuer hereby agrees that, so long as any of the Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding and unpaid or any other amount is owing to any Holder, Issuer shall furnish to the Holders copies of the financial information required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(b) and (c) of the Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof). Any information filed publicly with the SEC and available on the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) database shall be delivered for purposes of this Section 2.1.

Section 2.2 Other Information. Issuer hereby agrees, upon reasonable request by any Purchaser, to make members of management reasonably available with reasonable promptness for discussion with such requesting Purchaser during the Issuer’s ordinary business hours; provided that such discussions shall be scheduled in such a way as to minimize disruption to the Issuer’s and its Subsidiaries regular business operations.

Section 2.3 Tax Status. From and after the Issue Date and for so long as any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Issuer will be treated as a C corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will not take (or fail to take) any action that would cause it not to be treated as a C corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or that could otherwise cause any Holder to own an interest in an entity that is not treated as a C corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in each case without the consent of each of the Holders, which consent may be withheld in such Holder’s discretion.

2

Section 2.4 Withholding. The Issuer (and its applicable withholding agent(s) and paying agent(s)) may deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, any amounts required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Law with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares (and may set off any such amounts required to be deducted and withheld against any Dividends, distributions or other payments on the Series A Preferred Shares). Any amounts that are so deducted and withheld shall be treated as having been paid to the Holder in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. Each Holder shall provide the Issuer a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 (or applicable IRS Form W-8 together with all required attachments) promptly upon becoming a party to this Agreement, and shall provide an updated copy of any such form prior to its expiration or becoming inaccurate in any material respect.

Section 2.5 Tax Treatment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that it is their intention that for U.S. federal income tax purposes (such tax treatment, the “Intended Tax Treatment”): (w) the Series A Preferred Shares are intended to be treated as equity (and not indebtedness) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (x) the Holders shall not be required to include in income as a dividend any Dividends in respect of the Series A Preferred Shares at the Dividend Rate under Section 305(c) of the Code unless and until such Dividends are declared and paid in cash thereon in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation, and (y) any redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares, whether in part or in full, qualifies as a sale or exchange of such Series A Preferred Shares (and not, in whole or in part, as a distribution), other than with respect to any dividends already declared on such shares. The Issuer will report consistently with, and take no positions or actions inconsistent with, the Intended Tax Treatment unless otherwise required by (a) a change in Law or official interpretation thereof that is binding on the Issuer or (b) a final determination of a taxing authority within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, that is binding on the Issuer.

Section 2.6 FIRPTA Certificate. The Issuer shall (a) provide to any Holder, upon such Holder’s written request in connection with a transfer of Series A Preferred Shares and within ten (10) Business Days following such request, a certification that the Series A Preferred Shares held by such Holder do not constitute a “United States real property interest” pursuant to Section 897(c)(2) of the Code, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1. 1445-2(c)(3), or written notice of its legal inability to do so, and (b) in connection with the provision of any certification pursuant to the preceding clause (a), comply with the notice provisions set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h).

Section 2.7 Provision of Tax Information. The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any information reasonably requested by the Holders and necessary to enable the Holders to comply with their U.S. federal income tax reporting obligations, including, but not limited to, an estimate or determination of the amount of the Issuer’s current and accumulated earnings and profits with respect to any taxable year where such estimate or determination is reasonably necessary to determining the amount (if any) of any distribution received by the Holders from the Issuer that is properly treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

5

To the extent that the Issuer or its Subsidiaries are permitted to make any Restricted Payments pursuant to this Section 3.1, the same may be made as a loan or advance to the recipient thereof, and in such case the amount of such loan or advance so made shall reduce the amount of Restricted Payments that may be made by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries in respect thereof.

The Issuer shall (a) at any time that any Series A Preferred Share is outstanding, take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance from and after the date hereof and free from preemptive rights, the number of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation; and (b) not effect any voluntary deregistration under the Exchange Act or any voluntary delisting with the New York Stock Exchange in respect of the Class A Common Stock.

The Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to any Demand Registration for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date thereof (or, in the case of a shelf Registration Statement, until the date as of which all Registrable Securities registered by such shelf Registration Statement have been sold in a transaction in which they cease to be Registrable Securities or have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Securities) (the “Effective Period”) or such shorter period during which all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have actually been sold; provided, however, that (i) such Effective Period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Stockholders refrain from selling any securities included in such Registration Statement at the request of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to file any replacement or additional shelf Registration Statement and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such replacement or additional shelf Registration Statement to become effective prior to the expiration of the initial shelf Registration Statement.

| (b) | Priority on Demand Registration. If any of the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Demand Registration are to be sold in a firm commitment underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the holders of such securities in writing that, in their view, the total amount of securities proposed to be sold in such offering (including, without limitation, securities proposed to be included by any Persons exercising Additional Piggyback Rights (“Additional Piggyback Securities”)) exceeds the largest amount (the “Section 3(b) Sale Amount”) that can be sold in an orderly manner in such underwritten offering within a price range acceptable to the Stockholders, then there shall be included in such firm commitment underwritten offering an amount of securities not exceeding the Section 3(b) Sale Amount, and such amount of securities shall be allocated as follows:

5

| (i) | first, pro rata as between the Stockholders and the Sellers with respect to any Additional Piggyback Securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering pursuant to the Sellers Registration Rights Agreement;

| (ii) | second, any securities for which inclusion in such Demand Registration was requested by the Corporation on its own behalf; and

| (iii) | third, pro rata among all Persons (other than the Persons included in clauses (i) and (ii) above) requesting that Additional Piggyback Securities be included in such underwritten offering, on the basis of the number of Additional Piggyback Securities then owned by each such Person requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of Additional Piggyback Securities owned by all such Persons requesting inclusion.

For purposes of any underwriter’s cutback, all Registrable Securities held by the Stockholder shall also include any Registrable Securities held by Affiliates to whom or which Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock shall have been distributed, transferred or contributed prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement in connection with such underwritten offering; provided that the Stockholder and such other Persons shall be deemed to be a single selling holder of Registrable Securities, and any pro rata reduction with respect to such selling holder shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included with such selling holder pursuant to this paragraph. No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s cutback shall be included in such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will the piggyback registration rights granted to the Sellers pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement entered into by and among the Sellers and the Corporation as of the date hereof (as may be further amended, supplemented or modified therein) (the “Sellers Registration Rights Agreement”), have priority over the Stockholders’ registration rights pursuant to this Agreement.

| (c) | Shelf-Take Downs.

| (i) | At any time that a shelf Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities is effective, if the Stockholder delivers a Demand Notice to the Corporation (a Demand Notice pursuant to this Section 3(c), a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to effect an underwritten offering of all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”), then, subject to Section 3(d), the Corporation shall amend or

6

| supplement the shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Underwritten Offering (taking into account the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other holders pursuant to this Section 3(c)) and otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Shelf Underwritten Offering as expeditiously as reasonably possible and in any event within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Take-Down Notice; provided that any Take-Down Notice shall be required to be in respect of at least $100 million in anticipated net proceeds in the aggregate. The Corporation shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any Shelf Underwritten Offering if a Demand Registration or a Shelf Underwritten Offering was consummated within the preceding ninety (90) days (unless otherwise consented to by the Board of Directors of the Company). In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering:

| (a) | [reserved]; and

| (b) | in the event that the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Corporation and the Stockholders in writing that, in their view, the total amount of securities which would otherwise be included in such take-down offering exceeds the largest amount that can be sold in an orderly manner in such take-down offering within a price range acceptable to the Stockholders, the managing underwriter or underwriters shall limit the amount of securities which would otherwise be included in such take-down offering in the same manner as described in Section 3(b) with respect to a limitation of the amount of securities to be included in a Demand Registration.

| (ii) | Notwithstanding the time periods in respect of Take-Down Notices set forth in Section 3(c)(i) to the contrary, subject to required notice periods under any registration rights agreement entered into prior to the date hereof, if the Stockholders wish to engage in an underwritten block trade (or similar transaction) off of a shelf Registration Statement (through a take-down from a shelf Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities), then the Stockholders only need to provide the Take-Down Notice for such offering to the Corporation of the block trade Shelf Underwritten Offering at least 48 hours prior to the expected time of the pricing of

7

| such offering and such other holders who are able to participate must elect whether or not to participate within the time period specified in such Take-Down Notice (which time period shall be at least 24 hours prior to the expected time of the pricing of such offering), and the Corporation shall as expeditiously as possible use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Shelf Underwritten Offering (which may close as early as two (2) business days after the date it commences); provided that each demanding Stockholder requesting such underwritten block trade (or similar transaction) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Corporation beginning at least ten (10) days prior to notifying the Corporation of its request for an underwritten block trade (or similar transaction) in order to facilitate preparation of the prospectus and other offering documentation related to the underwritten block trade (or similar transaction).

| (iii) | The offer price for a Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be determined by the party delivering the Take-Down Notice.

| (d) | Postponement of Registration.

| (i) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the board of directors of the Corporation, in its good faith reasonable judgment, determines that any registration of Registrable Securities or offering of Registrable Securities off of a shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Take-Down”), including any Demand Registration, a Required Shelf, any other shelf registration or automatic shelf registration or any Shelf Underwritten Offering, should not be made or continued because it would materially interfere with any material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger, share exchange or similar transaction or event involving the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or because the Corporation does not yet have appropriate financial statements of acquired or to be acquired entities available for filing or because the Corporation has material, confidential information that may be required to be disclosed in a registration statement and which the board of directors of the Corporation deems reasonably inappropriate to disclose at such time (in each case, a “Valid Business Reason”), then (x) the Corporation may postpone filing a Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration, a Required Shelf or any other shelf registration or automatic shelf registration and suspend the offering and sale of Registrable Securities off of any shelf Registration Statement, until five

8

| (ii) | (5) business days after such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event, without the consent of the Stockholders, for more than ninety (90) days after the date the board of directors of the Corporation determines a Valid Business Reason exists and (y) in case a Registration Statement has been filed relating to a Demand Registration, if the Valid Business Reason has not resulted from actions taken by the Corporation, the Corporation may, to the extent determined in the good faith reasonable judgment of the board of directors of the Corporation to be reasonably necessary to avoid interference with any of the transactions described above, cause such Registration Statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated (other than a shelf Registration Statement, which shall not be subject to withdrawal or termination pursuant to this Section 3(d)) or postpone amending or supplementing such Registration Statement until five (5) business days after such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event, without the consent of the Stockholders, for more than ninety (90) days after the date the board of directors of the Corporation determines a Valid Business Reason exists (such period of suspension, postponement or withdrawal under clause (x) or (y) of this Section 3(d), the “Postponement Period”). The Corporation shall give written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities that were (or would have had the right) to be included in such Demand Registration, Required Shelf or other shelf registration or automatic shelf registration or have the right to initiate a Shelf Take-Down of its determination to postpone or withdraw a Registration Statement and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement or withdrawal no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof and the holders of Registrable Securities shall keep any information obtained in connection with such notice confidential; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be permitted to postpone or withdraw a Registration Statement more than twice in any twelve (12) month period or for an aggregate of more than one hundred twenty (120) days in any twelve (12) month period, in each case without the consent of the Stockholders. If the Corporation shall give any notice of suspension, postponement or withdrawal of any Registration Statement or Shelf Take-Down pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Corporation shall not, during the Postponement Period, register any Common Stock, other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or any similar or

9

| successor form). Each Stockholder agrees that, upon receipt of any written notice from the Corporation that the Corporation has determined to suspend, withdraw, terminate or postpone amending or supplementing any Registration Statement or Shelf Take-Down pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, such holder will for a corresponding period discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. If the Corporation shall have withdrawn or prematurely terminated a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3(a) or Section 4(a) (whether pursuant to the foregoing paragraph or as a result of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court or for any other reason permitted hereunder), the Corporation shall not be considered to have effected an effective registration for the purposes of this Agreement until the Corporation shall have filed a new Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities covered by the withdrawn or terminated Registration Statement and such Registration Statement shall have been declared effective and shall not have been withdrawn. If the Corporation shall give any notice of suspension, withdrawal or postponement of a Registration Statement or Shelf Take-Down, the Corporation shall, not later than five (5) business days after the Valid Business Reason that caused such suspension, withdrawal or postponement no longer exists (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the date of the postponement or withdrawal), use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities covered by the withdrawn or postponed Registration Statement in accordance with this Section 3 or Section 4, as applicable (unless the Stockholders shall have withdrawn such request, in which case the Corporation shall not be considered to have effected an effective registration for the purposes of this Agreement), and such registration shall not be withdrawn or postponed pursuant to the foregoing paragraph.

| (e) | Cancellation of a Demand Registration. The Stockholders shall have the right to notify the Corporation that they have determined that the Registration Statement or a Shelf Underwritten Offering be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Corporation shall abandon or withdraw such Registration Statement or Shelf Underwritten Offering, as applicable, and concurrently advise in writing the Stockholders.

| (f) | Number of Demand Notices. In connection with but subject to the provisions of this Section 3, the Stockholders shall have an unlimited number of Demand Notices which they are permitted to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Corporation hereunder.

10

Section 4. | Automatic Shelf Registrations.

| (a) | Filing. The Corporation shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) file a shelf Registration Statement for a public offering of all Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act (the “Required Shelf”) no later than the date that is ninety (90) days following the Closing Date and (ii) if not automatically effective, cause the Required Shelf to become effective as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.

| (b) | Continued Effectiveness. The Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Required Shelf continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the Prospectus or any free writing prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by the holders of Registrable Securities until the date as of which all Registrable Securities registered by the Required Shelf have been sold or have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Securities. Subject to the Corporation’s rights under Section 3(d), the Corporation shall not be deemed to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the shelf Registration Statement effective during such period if the Corporation voluntarily takes any action, or omits to take any commercially reasonable action, that would result in the holders of Registrable Securities not being able to offer and sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Required Shelf pursuant to, and in accordance with, its rights set forth in Section 3 or Section 5 hereof during such period, unless such action or omission is (x) a suspension or postponement permitted pursuant to Section 3(e) or (y) required by applicable law, rule or regulation. The Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to file any replacement or additional shelf Registration Statement and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such replacement or additional shelf Registration Statement to become effective prior to the expiration of the initial shelf Registration Statement.

Section 5. | Piggyback Registration.

| (a) | Right to Piggyback. Except with respect to a Demand Registration, the procedures for which are addressed in Section 3, if the Corporation proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Common Stock whether or not for sale of its own account (other than a registration statement (A) on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto or (B) filed solely in connection with an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan), then, the Corporation shall give prompt written notice of such proposed filing at least five (5) business days before the anticipated filing date (the “Piggyback Notice”) to each Stockholder. The Piggyback Notice shall offer the Stockholders the opportunity to include (or cause to be included) in such

11

| registration statement the number of Registrable Securities as the Stockholders may request (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 5(b) hereof, the Corporation shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Corporation has received written requests for inclusion therein within three (3) business days after notice has been given to each Stockholder. The Stockholders shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of the Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Corporation of their request to withdraw; provided, however, that such request must be made prior to the earlier of the execution of the underwriting agreement or the execution of the custody agreement with respect to such registration and otherwise may only be made in accordance with procedures reasonably determined by the underwriters in connection with any underwriting arrangements. The foregoing piggyback rights shall expire on the first date on which the Stockholders no longer own any Registrable Securities.

| (b) | Priority on Piggyback Registrations. The Corporation shall use reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit Registrable Securities in respect of which the Stockholders have submitted a timely request for inclusion in response to a Piggyback Notice in connection with such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities included in the Stockholders’ response on the same terms and conditions as other shares of capital stock, if any, of the Corporation included in the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering have informed the Corporation in writing that, in their view, the total amount of securities that such holders, the Corporation and any other Persons having rights to participate in such registration intend to include in such offering exceeds the largest amount (the “Section 5(b) Sale Amount”) that can be sold in an orderly manner in such underwritten offering without adversely affecting the price of the offering, then there shall be included in such registration an amount of securities not exceeding the Section 5(b) Sale Amount, and such amount of securities shall be allocated as follows:

| (i) | first, (x) 100% of the securities that the Corporation, or any person other than the Stockholders exercising a contractual right pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into prior to the date hereof (excluding the Sellers Registration Rights Agreement) to demand registration, as the case may be, requests to be registered, (y) in the event that the Sellers exercise a contractual right to demand an underwritten offering pursuant to the terms of the Sellers Registration Rights Agreement, pro rata among the Sellers and the Stockholders or (z) in the event that any Person other than the Stockholders or the Sellers exercises a contractual right to demand an underwritten offering pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into after the date hereof, pro rata among the Stockholders, the Sellers (if the Sellers have requested securities be included in such registration) and such Person;

12

| (ii) | second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i)(x) have been included, pro rata among the Stockholders, the Sellers (if the Sellers have requested securities be included in such registration) and any other Person requesting registration pursuant to a contractual right to piggyback pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered prior to the date hereof; and

| (iii) | third, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (ii) have been included, pro rata among all Persons (other than the Persons included in clauses (i) and (ii) above) requesting that securities be included in such registration, on the basis of the number of securities then owned by each such Person (other than the Persons included in clauses (i) and (ii) above) requesting registration in relation to the aggregate number of securities owned by all such Persons (other than the Persons included in clauses (i) and (ii) above) requesting registration.

Section 6. | Registration Procedures. In connection with the Corporation’s obligations under Section 3, Section 4 and Section 5, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registration and to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, and in connection therewith the Corporation shall:

| (a) | as promptly as is reasonably practicable prepare and file the required Registration Statement, including all exhibits and financial statements required under the Securities Act to be filed therewith, and, before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, (x) furnish to the underwriters, if any, and to the holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, copies of all documents prepared to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review of such underwriters and such holders and their respective counsel, (y) subject to applicable law, make such changes in such documents concerning the holders prior to the filing thereof as such holders, or their counsel, may reasonably request and (z) subject to applicable law, not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto to which the Stockholders or the underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object;

| (b) | as promptly as is reasonably practicable prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to such Registration Statement and supplements to the Prospectus as may be (x) reasonably requested by the Stockholders, or (y) necessary to keep such Registration Statement

13

| effective for the period of time required by this Agreement, and comply with provisions of the applicable securities laws with respect to the sale or other disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement;

| (c) | notify the Stockholders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and confirm such notice in writing and provide copies of the relevant documents, as soon as reasonably practicable after notice thereof is received by the Corporation (a) when the applicable Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed or becomes effective, and when the applicable Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto has been filed, (b) of any written comments by the SEC, or any request by the SEC or other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or such Prospectus, or for additional information (whether before or after the effective date of the Registration Statement) or any other correspondence with the SEC relating to, or which may affect, the Registration, (c) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or any order by the SEC or any other regulatory authority preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary or final Prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for such purposes, (d) if, at any time, the representations and warranties of the Corporation in any applicable underwriting agreement cease to be true and correct in all material respects and (e) of the receipt by the Corporation of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

| (d) | promptly notify the Stockholders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, in writing when the Corporation becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the applicable Registration Statement or the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of such Prospectus or any preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, when any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus includes information that may conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such time period to amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act and, as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the SEC, and furnish without charge to the Stockholders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, an amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, which shall correct such misstatement or omission or effect such compliance;

14

| (e) | to the extent the Corporation is eligible under the relevant provisions of Rule 430B under the Securities Act, if the Corporation files any Shelf Registration Statement, the Corporation shall include in such Shelf Registration Statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act (referring to the unnamed selling security holders in a generic manner by identifying the initial offering of the securities to the Stockholders) in order to ensure that the Stockholders may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement at a later time through the filing of a Prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment;

| (f) | use its reasonable best efforts to prevent, or obtain the withdrawal of, any stop order or other order or notice preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary or final Prospectus;

| (g) | promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters and the Stockholders agree should be included therein relating to the plan of distribution with respect to such Registrable Securities; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or post-effective amendment;

| (h) | furnish to the Stockholders and each underwriter, if any, or any financial institution facilitating the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement without charge, as many conformed copies as the Stockholders or underwriter may reasonably request of the applicable Registration Statement and any amendment or post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference);

| (i) | deliver to the Stockholders and each underwriter, if any, or any financial institution facilitating the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement without charge, as many copies of the applicable Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as the Stockholders, financial institution or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities by the Stockholders or underwriter (it being understood that the Corporation shall consent to the use of such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by the Stockholders and the underwriters, if any, or financial institution in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto);

15

| (j) | on or prior to the date on which the applicable Registration Statement becomes effective, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, and cooperate with the Stockholders, the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or any financial institution facilitating the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and their respective counsel, in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of each state and other jurisdiction as the Stockholders, managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or any financial institution facilitating the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or their respective counsel reasonably request in writing and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to keep such registration or qualification in effect for such period as required by Section 3 or Section 4, as applicable; provided that the Corporation shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to taxation or general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

| (k) | cooperate with the Stockholders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or any financial institution facilitating the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriters may request at least three (3) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the underwriters;

| (l) | use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

| (m) | not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities if other than the CUSIP for the publicly traded Common Stock;

| (n) | make such representations and warranties to the Stockholders of Registrable Securities being registered, and the underwriters or agents, if any, or any financial institution facilitating the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers in public offerings similar to the offering then being undertaken;

| (o) | enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting, purchase and indemnification agreements) and take all such other actions as the Stockholders, the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or any financial institution facilitating the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the registration and disposition of such Registrable Securities;

16

| (p) | obtain for delivery to the Stockholders being registered and to the underwriter or underwriters, if any, or any financial institution facilitating the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement an opinion or opinions from counsel for the Corporation dated the most recent effective date of the Registration Statement or, in the event of an Underwritten Offering, the date of the closing under the underwriting or purchase agreement, in customary form, scope and substance, which opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholders or underwriters or financial institution, as the case may be, and their respective counsel;

| (q) | obtain for delivery to the Corporation and the managing underwriter or underwriters, or any financial institution facilitating the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement with copies to the Stockholders, a comfort letter from the Corporation’s independent certified public accountants or independent auditors (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants or independent auditors of any subsidiary of the Corporation or any business acquired by the Corporation for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement) in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters as the managing underwriter or underwriters or applicable financial institution reasonably request, dated the date of execution of the underwriting or similar agreement and brought down to the closing under the underwriting agreement;

| (r) | cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA;

| (s) | use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable securities laws and, if a Registration Statement was filed, make available, including through the SEC’s EDGAR filing system or any successor system, to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

| (t) | provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

17

| (u) | use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be listed on the securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted and on each inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is then quoted;

| (v) | make available upon reasonable notice at reasonable times and for reasonable periods for inspection by a representative appointed by the Stockholders, by any underwriter or financial institution participating in any disposition to be effected pursuant to such Registration Statement and by any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Stockholders or any such underwriter or financial institution, all pertinent financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Corporation, and cause all of the Corporation’s officers, directors and employees and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements to make themselves available to discuss the business of the Corporation and to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Person in connection with such Registration Statement;

| (w) | in the case of a marketed public offering, cause the senior executive officers of the Corporation to participate in the customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in any such offering and otherwise to facilitate, cooperate with, and participate in each proposed offering contemplated herein and customary selling efforts related thereto;

| (x) | take no direct or indirect action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act;

| (y) | take all reasonable action to ensure that any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus utilized in connection with any registration complies in all material respects with the Securities Act, is filed in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby, is retained in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby and, when taken together with the related Prospectus, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

| (z) | take all such other reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

To the extent the Corporation is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (a “WKSI”) at the time any Demand Registration is submitted to the Corporation, and such Demand Registration requests that the Corporation file an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”) on Form S-3, the Corporation shall file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement which covers those Registrable Securities which are requested to be registered. If the

18

Corporation does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Corporation agrees to pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold. If the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three (3) years, prior to the end of the third year the Corporation shall file a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities. If at any time when the Corporation is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Corporation determines that it is not a WKSI, the Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to refile the shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 and, if such form is not available, Form S-1 and keep such registration statement effective during the period during which such registration statement is required to be kept effective.

If the Corporation files any shelf Registration Statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the holders of Registrable Securities, and the holders of Registrable Securities do not request that their Registrable Securities be included in such shelf Registration Statement, the Corporation agrees that it shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, include in such registration statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act (referring to the unnamed selling security holders in a generic manner by identifying the initial offering of the securities to the holders of Registrable Securities) in order to ensure that the holders of Registrable Securities may be added to such shelf Registration Statement at a later time through the filing of a prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment.

The Corporation may require each Stockholder to furnish to the Corporation such customary information regarding the distribution of such securities and such other information relating to such Stockholder and its ownership of Registrable Securities as the Corporation may from time to time reasonably request in writing and the Corporation may exclude from such Registration or sale the Registrable Securities of such Stockholder if such Stockholder unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. Each Stockholder agrees to furnish such information to the Corporation and to cooperate with the Corporation as reasonably necessary to enable the Corporation to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. In connection with each sale of Registrable Securities conducted as an underwritten offering, each Stockholder agrees, if requested, to become bound by and to execute and deliver a lock-up agreement with the underwriter(s) of such offering for a period of no longer than sixty (60) days restricting such Stockholder’s right to (a) transfer, directly or indirectly, any Registrable Securities or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic consequences of ownership of Registrable Securities, subject to customary exceptions to which the underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering may agree, provided that in no event shall such lock-up be greater than the period agreed to by the Company, its directors or officers.

If any Registration Statement or comparable statement under state “blue sky” laws refers to any Stockholder by name or otherwise as the Stockholder of any securities of the Corporation, then such Stockholder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholder and the Corporation, to the effect that the holding by the Stockholder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by the Stockholder of the investment quality of the Corporation’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Stockholder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Corporation, or (ii) in the event that such reference to any Stockholder by name or otherwise is not in the judgment of the Corporation, as advised by counsel, required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute or any state “blue sky” or securities law then in force, the deletion of the reference to the Stockholder.

19

The Stockholders agrees that, as promptly as possible after receipt of any notice from the Corporation of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6(d) hereof, the Stockholders will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until its receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(d), or until advised in writing by the Corporation that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, and if so directed by the Corporation, the Stockholders shall deliver to the Corporation (at the Corporation’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Stockholders’ possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Corporation shall give any such notice, the period during which the applicable Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Stockholders either receive the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 7(d) or is advised in writing by the Corporation that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

20

Section 7. | Registration Expenses. All reasonable fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Corporation including, without limitation, (i) all registration, listing and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) paid to the SEC, a stock exchange or FINRA and (B) of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws, including, without limitation, any fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with “blue sky” qualifications of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 6(i)), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing Prospectuses if the printing of Prospectuses is requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses of the Corporation, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Corporation, (v) expenses of the Corporation incurred in connection with any road show, (vi) fees and disbursements of all independent certified public accountants referred to in Section 6(p)(ii) hereof (including, without limitation, the expenses of any “cold comfort” letters required by this Agreement) and any other Persons, including special experts retained by the Corporation, (vii) fees and expenses payable to a Qualified Independent Underwriter, and (viii) fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Stockholders if such Registration Statement is pursuant to a Demand Registration initiated by the Stockholders will be borne by the Corporation whether or not any Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective. In addition, the Corporation shall pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be registered on any securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Corporation are then listed and rating agency fees and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Corporation.

The Corporation shall not be required to pay (i) fees and disbursements of any counsel retained by the Stockholders or by any underwriter (except as set forth in clauses (i)(B) and (viii) of the first paragraph of this Section 7), (ii) any underwriter’s fees (including discounts, commissions or fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals) relating to the distribution of the Registrable Securities (other than with respect to Registrable Securities sold by the Corporation, and except as set forth in clause (vii) of the first paragraph of this Section 7), or (iii) any other expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities not required to be paid by the Corporation pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 7.

Section 8. | Indemnification.

| (a) | Indemnification by the Corporation. The Corporation shall, and it hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Stockholder, its respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders and employees and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable legal expenses or other reasonable expenses actually incurred

21

| thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding resulting therefrom) (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are registered or sold under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein) or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries including any report and other document filed under the Exchange Act, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, that a Stockholder shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8(a) in respect of any untrue statement or omission contained in any information furnished in writing by such Stockholder to the Corporation specifically for inclusion in a Registration Statement that has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting the claim or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Corporation (or any of its agents or Affiliates) of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Corporation may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of such securities by any Stockholder. The Corporation shall also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the indemnified parties.

| (b) | Indemnification by the Stockholders. Each Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation, its directors, officers, partners, members, managers, stockholders and employees and each Person who controls the Corporation (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses resulting from (i) any untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered or sold under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein) or (ii) any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were

22

| made) not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information about the Stockholder furnished in writing by such Stockholder to the Corporation specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement and has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting the claim. In no event shall the liability of a Stockholder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Stockholder under the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation less any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 9(d) and any amounts paid by such Stockholder as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such sale. The Corporation shall be entitled to receive indemnities from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, to the same extent as provided above (with appropriate modification) with respect to information furnished in writing by such Persons specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration Statement.

| (c) | Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure) and (ii) 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 select and 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 (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (iii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iv) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person (based upon advice of its counsel) a conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle such

23

| action without the prior written consent of the indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of such indemnified party. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its prior written consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (x) such settlement is entered into in good faith more than sixty (60) days after receipt by the indemnifying party of such request and more than thirty (30) days after receipt of the proposed terms of such settlement and (y) the indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, except as specifically set forth in this Section 8(c), in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction.

| (d) | Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) and Section 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party (other than as a result of exceptions contained in Section 8(a) and Section 8(b)) or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In connection with any Registration Statement filed with the SEC by the Corporation, 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 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 the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(d). No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the

24

| meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in Section 8(a) and Section 8(b) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. If indemnification is available under this Section 8, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the fullest extent provided in Section 8(a) and Section 8(b) hereof without regard to the provisions of this Section 8(d). The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Corporation, a Stockholder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Stockholder under the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation less any amounts paid by such Stockholder pursuant to Section 8(b) and any amounts paid by such Stockholder as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such sale.

Section 9. | Existing Registration Statements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and subject to applicable law and regulation, the Corporation may satisfy any obligation hereunder to file a Registration Statement or to have a Registration Statement become effective by a specified date by designating, by notice to the Stockholders, a Registration Statement that previously has been filed with the SEC or become effective, as the case may be, as the relevant Registration Statement for purposes of satisfying such obligation, and all references to any such obligation shall be construed accordingly; provided that such previously filed Registration Statement may be amended or, subject to applicable securities laws, supplemented to add the number of Registrable Securities, and, to the extent necessary, to identify as selling stockholders those Stockholders demanding the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. To the extent this Agreement refers to the filing or effectiveness of other Registration Statements, by or at a specified time and the Corporation has, in lieu of then filing such Registration Statements or having such Registration Statements become effective, designated a previously filed or effective Registration Statement as the relevant Registration Statement for such purposes, in accordance with the preceding sentence, such references shall be construed to refer to such designated Registration Statement, as amended.

Section 10. | Rule 144 and Rule 144A.

| (a) | The Corporation shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Corporation is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of the Stockholders, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales

25

| that would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC), and it will take such further action as the Stockholders may reasonably request, including the delivery of customary opinions requested to effectuate such sales pursuant to Rule 144, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act in transactions that would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement and within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of the Stockholders, the Corporation will deliver to the Stockholders a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

Section 11. | Underwritten Registrations. In connection with any Demand Registration or Shelf Underwritten Offering, the Stockholders shall have the right to designate the lead managing underwriters in connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to such registration and each other managing underwriter for any such underwritten offering; provided that in all cases any such underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation.

Section 12. | Miscellaneous.

| (a) | Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or changed only by a written instrument signed by the Stockholders and the Corporation.

| (b) | Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt by nonautomatic means, whether electronic or otherwise), (ii) when sent by email (with written confirmation of transmission) or (c) one (1) Business Day after the day sent by an internationally recognized overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case, at the following addresses and email addresses (or to such other address or email address as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party under this Section 11(b)):

| (c) | Successors and Assigns; Stockholder Status. The rights and obligations contained in this Agreement shall be assignable to any transferee of Registrable Securities and shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that such successor or assign shall not be entitled to such rights unless the successor or assign shall have executed and delivered to the Corporation an Addendum Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (which shall also be executed by the Corporation promptly following the acquisition of such Registrable Securities, in which event such successor or assign shall be deemed a Stockholder for purposes of this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 8 with respect to an indemnified party, nothing herein is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever.

| (d) | Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be one (1) and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by electronic transmission (including email or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) shall be effective as delivery of an original counterpart hereof.

| (e) | Severability. Any term or provision hereof that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

27

| (f) | Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Series A Securities Purchase Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement are the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties related to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein, with respect to the registration rights granted by the Corporation with respect to Registrable Securities.

| (g) | Securities Held by the Corporation or Its Subsidiaries. Whenever the consent or approval of holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Corporation or its subsidiaries shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the holders of such required percentage.

| (h). | Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party shall 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 shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions hereof were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief (including an injunction or injunctions) to prevent breaches or threatened breaches hereof and to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions hereof, in each case, in any court referred to in Section 12(b), without proof of actual damages (and each party waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. No party shall assert (i) that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason or (ii) that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.

| (i) | No Inconsistent Agreements. The Corporation shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent in any material respects with the rights granted to the Stockholders in this Agreement.

| (j) | Effective Time; Term. This Agreement shall become effective at (and not prior to) the Closing Date. This Agreement shall terminate on the date on which the Stockholders cease to own Registrable Securities; provided that such Stockholders’ rights and obligations pursuant to Section 8, as well as the Corporation’s obligations to pay expenses pursuant to Section 7, shall survive with respect to any registration statement in which any Registrable

28

| Securities of the Stockholders were included and any underwriter lock-up that the Stockholders have executed prior to the termination of this Agreement with respect to the Stockholders in accordance with this Section 12(i) at the time of such termination, shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.

| (k) | Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. This Agreement, and all claims and causes of action (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity) that may be based on, arise out of or relate hereto or the negotiation, execution, performance or subject matter hereof, shall be governed by the Laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed solely therein, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. With respect to any such claim or cause of action, each party (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, (ii) agrees that all such claims and causes of action shall be heard and determined exclusively in the courts identified in clause (i) of this Section 11(k), (iii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such claim or cause of action in such courts, (iv) waives any objection that any such court is an inconvenient forum or does not have jurisdiction over any party and (v) agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such claim or cause of action shall be effective if such process is given as a notice under Section 12(b). EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION that may be based on, arise out of or relate HERETO or the negotiation, execution, performance or subject matter hereof.

| (l) | Construction. Section 7.2 of the Series A Securities Purchase Agreement shall apply to this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

| (m) | Opt-Out Requests. Each Stockholder shall have the right, at any time and from time to time (including after receiving information regarding any potential public offering), to elect to not receive any notice that the Corporation or any other Stockholders otherwise are required to deliver pursuant to this Agreement regarding an Underwritten Offering, a Take-Down Notice or a Piggyback Registration Statement (except any Suspension Notice or any other notice as required by law, rule or regulation) by delivering to the Corporation a written statement signed by such Stockholder that it does not want to receive any such notices hereunder (an “Opt-Out Request”), in which case, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Corporation and other Stockholders shall not be required to, and shall not, deliver any such notice or other related information required to be provided to Stockholders hereunder to the extent that the Corporation or such other Stockholders reasonably expect such

29

| notice or information would result in a Stockholder acquiring material non-public information within the meaning of Regulation FD promulgated under the Exchange Act. An Opt-Out Request may state a date on which it expires or, if no such date is specified, shall remain in effect indefinitely. A Stockholder that has previously given the Corporation an Opt-Out Request may revoke such request at any time, and there shall be no limit on the ability of a Stockholder to issue and revoke subsequent Opt-Out Requests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this shall not prohibit any communications or notices to employees, officers and directors or agents of the Company, or notices or communications pursuant to any other agreements.
