Subject to the last sentence of Section 4.8, if any Securityholder or group of Securityholders and their Affiliates (or, in the case of Subsidiaries of the Company, the Company or its Subsidiary which is the direct parent of such Subsidiary) (the "Selling Stockholder(s)") owning fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of any of the Company or common stock of any of its Subsidiaries on a fully diluted basis receives an offer from a Third Party proposing a Control Transaction with respect to the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be (whether pursuant to a sale of stock, a merger or otherwise), and such offer is accepted by the Selling Stockholder(s), then each Securityholder hereby agrees that, if requested to do so by such Selling Stockholder(s), it will Transfer all of its shares of Common Stock of the Company or common stock of the applicable Subsidiary or Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to such Third Party on the terms of the offer so accepted by the Selling Stockholder(s), including making the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements that the Selling Stockholder(s) agrees to make (except that, in the case of representations and warranties pertaining specifically to the Selling Stockholder(s), each other Securityholder shall make the comparable representations and warranties pertaining specifically to itself, and except that, in the case of covenants or agreements capable of performance only by certain Securityholders, such covenants or agreements shall be made only by such certain Securityholders, and provided that all representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities made by the Securityholders pertaining specifically to themselves shall be made by each of them severally and not jointly and provided further that each Securityholder shall be severally (but not jointly) liable for breaches of representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of or (in the case of representations and warranties) pertaining to the Company and its Subsidiaries, and for indemnification obligations -13-
SC 13D86th Page of 129TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 86th
arising out of or relating to any such breach or otherwise pertaining to the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a pro rata basis (based on the number of shares of Common Stock or common stock of a Subsidiary, as the case may be, sold by each Selling Stockholder and each of the other Securityholders), such liability of each such Securityholder not to exceed such Securityholder's pro rata portion of the gross proceeds of the sale). If the Selling Stockholder(s) accepts such Control Transaction, such Selling Stockholder(s) shall give written notice to all Securityholders of the proposed Control Transaction at least 30 days prior to the proposed consummation of such Control Transaction. Subject to the next sentence, if requested to do so by the Selling Stockholder(s), any Securityholder that is a holder of Common Stock Equivalents shall convert, exercise or exchange such Common Stock Equivalents into or for Common Stock of the Company or common stock of its Subsidiary, as the case may be, in accordance with their terms on or prior to the closing date of such Control Transaction. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.7 to the contrary, (i) in the event a Securityholder that holds Common Stock Equivalents (other than options to acquire shares of Common Stock or common stock of a Subsidiary of the Company granted under the Management Equity Plans, which are governed by clause (ii) below) is required to Transfer such Common Stock Equivalents in a Control Transaction, such Securityholder shall not be required to convert, exercise or exchange any such Common Stock Equivalent if and to the extent that the applicable conversion, exercise or exchange price of such Common Stock Equivalent is equal to or greater than the value of the consideration to be received by Securityholders in the Control Transaction giving rise to drag-along rights under this Section 3.7 and, in lieu of such conversion, exercise or exchange, at the election of such holder of Common Stock Equivalents, any such Common Stock Equivalents shall instead be cancelled and forfeited; (ii) in connection with any Control Transaction giving rise to drag-along rights under this Section 3.7, the treatment of options to acquire shares of Common Stock or common stock of a Subsidiary of the Company granted under the Management Equity Plans shall be governed by the terms of Section 6(f) (or any successor provision) of the applicable Management Equity Plan and (iii) if any Transfer of Common Stock or common stock of a Subsidiary of the Company or Common Stock Equivalents of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to this Section 3.7 is not permitted under an Other Agreement, then such Transfer shall not be permitted or required hereunder. 3.8 Participation Right. (a) Subject to Section 3.8(c) hereof, the Company shall not issue nor permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue (an "Issuance") additional shares of Common Stock, common stock of a Subsidiary of the Company, Common Stock Equivalents or any other equity securities or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, or options to acquire, equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively "Equity Interests") to any Person unless, prior to such Issuance, the Company notifies (i) each Bank Stockholder, (ii) Oaktree and (iii) Jerry W. Levin and his Affiliates that beneficially own Equity Interests (for purposes of this Section 3.8 only, each a "Participation Securityholder") in writing of the proposed Issuance and grants to such Participation Securityholder the right (the "Right") to subscribe for and purchase up to a portion of such additional Equity Interests so issued at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions (including, in the event such Equity Interests are issued as a unit together with other securities, the purchase of such other securities) as issued in the Issuance such that: (i) in the case of an Issuance in which shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents of the Company are to be issued, immediately after -14-
SC 13D87th Page of 129TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 87th
giving effect to the Issuance and full exercise of the Right (including, for purposes of this calculation, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Common Stock Equivalent issued in the Issuance or subject to the Right), the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each such Participation Securityholder and their respective Affiliates on a fully diluted basis (rounded to the nearest whole share) shall represent the same percentage of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis as was beneficially owned by such Participation Securityholder and their respective Affiliates immediately prior to the Issuance; and (ii) in the case of an Issuance in which Equity Interests of a Subsidiary are to be issued, each such Participation Securityholder and their respective Affiliates shall have the Right to acquire a percentage of such Equity Interests to be issued in the Issuance equal to the percentage of shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis that was beneficially owned by such Participation Securityholder and their Affiliates immediately prior to the Issuance. (b) The Right may be exercised by each such Participation Securityholder at any time by written notice to the Company received by the Company within 10 Business Days after the date on which such Participation Securityholder receives notice from the Company of the proposed Issuance, and the closing of the purchase and sale pursuant to the exercise of the Right shall occur on the date scheduled by the Company for the Issuance, which may not be earlier than 10 Business Days after the Company receives notice of the exercise of the Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Right shall not apply to any Issuance (i) in payment of the purchase price of assets acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including any Issuance in connection with a merger, joint venture, licensing transaction or exchange of shares, (ii) upon the grant or exercise of options granted to directors or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries or the grant or exercise of options pursuant to the Management Equity Plans, or (iii) pursuant to a Public Offering of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. In connection with the exercise of a Right to purchase Equity Interests other than Common Stock, the Participation Securityholders shall receive registration rights no less favorable than the registration rights granted to any other holder of such Equity Interests or, if none are granted, registration rights comparable to the registration rights granted to them with respect to Common Stock under the Registration Rights Agreement. (c) If any Issuance under Section 3.8(a)(ii) involves an Issuance of Equity Interests to a Third Party (a "Third Party Issuance") and the holders of fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock ((i) subject to the Management Condition and (ii) excluding Non-Management Stock) agree in writing that, in their good faith opinion, the exercise by all the Participation Securityholders of their respective participation rights would materially adversely affect the consummation of such Third Party Issuance, the Company or its Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall (1) issue such amount of Equity Interests to such Third Party as is approved in accordance with this Agreement and (2) if additional amounts of Equity Interests may be issued without materially adversely affecting the consummation of such Third Party Issuance in the good faith opinion of the holders of fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the outstanding Common Stock ((i) subject to the Management Condition and (ii) excluding Non- -15-

Whenever the Company shall effect a registration pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof, no securities other than (i) Registrable Common Stock and (ii) subject to Section 3(f), Common Stock to be sold by the Company for its own account shall be included among the securities covered by such registration unless the Selling Holders (excluding Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) holding not less than a majority of the shares of Registrable Common Stock to be covered by such registration (excluding shares held by Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) shall have consented in writing to the inclusion of such other securities. (c) Registration Statement Form. Registrations under Section 3(a) hereof shall be on such appropriate registration form prescribed by the Commission under the Securities Act as shall be selected by the Company and as shall permit the disposition of the Registrable Common Stock pursuant to an underwritten offering unless the Selling Holders (excluding Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) holding at least a majority of the shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be included in such registration statement (excluding shares held by Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) determine otherwise, in which case pursuant to the method of distribution determined by such Selling Holders.

The Company may, if permitted by law, effect any registration requested under this Section 3 by the filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on Form S-1 (or any successors to such forms). (d) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof shall not be deemed to have been effected (i) unless a registration statement with respect thereto has been declared effective by the Commission and remains effective in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and the laws of any state or other jurisdiction applicable to the disposition of Registrable Common Stock covered by such registration statement until such time as all of such Registrable Common Stock have been disposed of in accordance with such registration statement or there shall cease to be any Registrable Common Stock covered by such registration statement, provided, that, except with respect to any Shelf Registration, such period need not exceed 90 days, and, provided, further, that with respect to any Shelf Registration, such period need not extend beyond the period provided for in Section 3(g) hereof, (ii) if, after it has become effective, such registration is subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental or regulatory agency or court for any reason other than a violation of applicable law solely by any Selling Holder (excluding Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) preventing or impairing the sale of securities under such registration statement and has not thereafter become effective, it being acknowledged and agreed that, if sales are prevented or impaired under any such registration statement as a result of a violation of applicable law by a Management Holder or a Non-Management Holder, the Selling Holders entitled to make a demand for registration under Section 3(a) shall be entitled to make a demand for registration under Section 3(a) as though such registration statement had not been filed (provided that no Selling Holder other than a Management Holder or a Non-Management Holder shall have violated applicable law and thereby caused sales under such registration statement to be prevented or impaired), but in no event shall any such Selling Holder be entitled to, nor shall any such Selling Holder make a claim for, damages or any other remedy against the Company solely as a result thereof, or (iii) if, in the case of an underwritten offering, the conditions to closing specified in an underwriting agreement to which the Company is a party are not satisfied or waived other than by reason of any breach or failure by any Selling Holder (excluding Management Holders and Non-Management Holders), or are not otherwise waived, it being acknowledged and agreed that, if such breach or failure is attributable to a Management Holder or a Non-Management Holder, the Selling Holders entitled to make a demand for registration under Section 3(a) shall be entitled to make a demand for registration under Section 3(a) as though such registration statement had not been filed (provided that such breach or failure is not attributable to a Selling Holder other than a Management Holder or a Non-Management Holder), but in no event shall any such
SC 13D106th Page of 129TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 106th
8 Selling Holder be entitled to, nor shall any such Selling Holder make a claim for, damages or any other remedy against the Company solely as a result thereof. The Holders of Registrable Common Stock to be included in a registration statement (pursuant to Section 3(a) (excluding Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) may at any time terminate such request for registration in accordance with Section 3(a)(ii)(D). (e) Selection of Underwriters. The underwriter or underwriters of each underwritten offering, if any, of the Registrable Common Stock to be registered pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 3(a) hereof shall be mutually selected by the Selling Holders (excluding Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) owning at least a majority of the shares of Registrable Common Stock to be registered (excluding shares held by Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) and the Company. In the case of any offering initiated by the Company or any other offering not effected pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 3(a) hereof, including any offering pursuant to which the holders of Registrable Common Stock shall have piggyback rights pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Company shall select the underwriter or underwriters for such offering in its sole discretion. (f) Priority in Requested Registration. If a registration under Section 3 hereof involves an underwritten Public Offering, and the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each Selling Holder requesting that Registrable Common Stock be included in such registration statement) that, in its opinion, the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of such securities that can be sold in such offering within a price range stated to such managing underwriter by Selling Holders (excluding Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) owning at least a majority of the shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be included in such registration (excluding shares held by Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) to be acceptable to such Selling Holders, the Company shall include in such registration, to the extent of the number of shares which the Company is advised can be sold in such offering, all Registrable Common Stock requested to be registered pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof, first, pro rata among the Selling Holders (excluding Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) requested to be included in such registration on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be registered by all such Selling Holders, and second, if additional shares may be sold based on the opinion of the managing underwriter, pro rata among the Management Holders and Non-Management Holders and then, pro rata among the Company and any other Person. (g) Shelf Registrations. If the first demand made pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof is for a Shelf Registration, the period for which such Shelf Registration Statement must remain effective need not extend beyond one year from the date on which such Shelf Registration Statement initially is declared effective by the Commission and the period for which any subsequent Shelf Registration Statement must remain effective need not extend beyond nine months from the date on which such Shelf Registration Statement initially is declared effective by the Commission (plus, in each case, a number of Business Days equal to the number of Business Days, if any, that the Shelf Registration Statement is not kept effective after the initial
SC 13D107th Page of 129TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 107th
9 date of its effectiveness and prior to such first-year or nine-month, as the case may be, anniversary thereof). 4. Piggyback Registration. If the Company, at any time when a Shelf Registration Statement covering all outstanding shares of Registrable Common Stock is not effective, proposes to register Common Stock under the Securities Act by registration on any forms other than Form S-4 or S-8 (or any successor or similar form(s)), whether or not pursuant to registration rights granted to other holders of its securities and whether or not for sale for its own account, it shall give prompt written notice to all of the Holders of its intention to do so and of such Holders' rights (if any) under this Section 4, which notice, in any event, shall be given at least 30 days prior to such proposed registration. Upon the written request of any Holder receiving notice of such proposed registration that is a holder of Registrable Common Stock (a "Piggyback Requesting Holder") made within 20 days after the receipt of any such notice (10 days if the Company states in such written notice or gives telephonic notice to the relevant securityholders, with written confirmation to follow promptly thereafter, stating that (i) such registration will be on Form S-3 and (ii) such shorter period of time is required because of a planned filing date), which request shall specify the Registrable Common Stock intended to be disposed of by such Piggyback Requesting Holder and the minimum offering price per share at which the Holder is willing to sell its Registrable Common Stock, the Company shall, subject to Section 7(b) hereof, effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Common Stock which the Company has been so requested to register by the Piggyback Requesting Holders thereof; provided, that, (A) prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, promptly following receipt of notification by the Company from the managing underwriter (if an underwritten offering) of a range of prices at which such securities are likely to be sold, the Company shall so advise each Piggyback Requesting Holder of such price, and if such price is below the minimum price which shall be acceptable to such Piggyback Requesting Holder, such Piggyback Requesting Holder shall then have the right irrevocably to withdraw its request to have its Registrable Common Stock included in such registration statement, by delivery of written notice of such withdrawal to the Company within three Business Days of its being advised of such price, without prejudice to the rights of any such Holder or Holders to include Registrable Common Stock in any future registration (or registrations) pursuant to this Section 4 or to cause such registration to be effected as a registration under Section 3(a) hereof, as the case may be; (B) if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Piggyback Requesting Holder and (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Common Stock in connection with such registration (but not from any obligation of the Company to pay the Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of

10 any Holder to include Registrable Common Stock in any future registration (or registrations) pursuant to this Section 4 or, if applicable, to cause such registration to be effected as a registration under Section 3(a) hereof, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Common Stock, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities; and (C) if such registration was initiated by the Company for its own account and involves an underwritten offering, each Piggyback Requesting Holder shall sell its Registrable Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as those that apply to the Company, and the underwriters of each such underwritten offering shall be a nationally recognized underwriter (or underwriters) selected by the Company in its sole discretion. No registration effected under this Section 4 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration upon request under Section 3(a) hereof and no registration effected pursuant to this Section 4 shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof. 5. Expenses. The Company shall pay all Expenses in connection with any registration initiated pursuant to Sections 2(a), 3(a) or 4 hereof, whether or not such registration shall become effective and whether or not all or any portion of the Registrable Common Stock originally requested to be included in such registration are ultimately included in such registration. 6. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to effect any registration under the Securities Act as provided in Sections 2(a), 3(a) and 4 hereof, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible: (a) prepare and file with the Commission (promptly and, in the case of any registration pursuant to Section 3(a), in any event on or before the date that is (i) 90 days after the end of the period within which requests for registration may be given to the Company or (ii) if, as of such ninetieth day, the Company does not have the audited financial statements required to be included in the registration statement, 30 days after the receipt by the Company from its independent public accountants of such audited financial statements, which the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable) the requisite registration statement to effect such registration and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective; provided, however, that the Company may discontinue any registration of its securities that are not shares of Registrable Common Stock (and, under the circumstances specified in Sections 4 and 9(b) hereof, its securities that are shares of Registrable Common Stock) at any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto; (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions

No such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder, such Holder's Registrable Common Stock and such Holder's intended method of distribution. (d) Holdback Agreements. Each Holder agrees, unless otherwise agreed to by the managing underwriter for any underwritten offering pursuant to this Agreement, not to effect any sale or distribution of any equity securities of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for equity securities of the Company, including any sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, during the 10 days prior to the date on which an underwritten registration of Registrable Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(a), 3 or 4 hereof has become effective and until the earlier of (a) the date on which all Registrable Common Stock to be sold pursuant to such underwritten registration has been sold by the underwriters and (b) 180 days after the effective date of such underwritten registration or such shorter period of time acceptable to the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering, if any, except as part of such underwritten registration or to the extent that such Holder is prohibited by applicable law from agreeing to withhold securities from sale or is acting in its capacity as a fiduciary or an investment adviser. Without limiting the scope of the term "fiduciary," a Holder shall be deemed to be acting as a fiduciary or an investment adviser if its actions or the securities proposed to be sold are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or if such securities are held in a separate account under applicable insurance law or regulation. The Company agrees (i) not to effect any Public Offering or distribution of any equity securities of the Company, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for equity securities of the Company (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor thereto), during the 10 days prior to the date on which any underwritten registration pursuant to Section 2(a), 3 or 4 hereof has become effective and until the earlier of (a) the date on which all Registrable Common Stock to be sold pursuant to such underwritten registration has been sold by the underwriters and (b) 180 days (or such shorter period of time approved in writing by the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering, if any), after the effective date of such underwritten registration, except as part of such underwritten registration, and (ii) to cause each holder of any equity securities, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for equity securities, in each case, acquired from the Company at any time on or after the date of this Agreement (other than in a Public Offering), to agree not to effect any Public Offering or distribution of such securities, during such period (or such shorter

17 period of time approved in writing by the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering, if any). 8. Preparation: Reasonable Investigation. (a) Registration Statements. In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall (i) give representatives (designated to the Company in writing) of each Holder or group of Holders holding at least 20% of the shares of Registrable Common Stock registered under such registration statement, the underwriters, if any, and one firm of counsel, one firm of accountants and one firm of other agents retained on behalf of all underwriters and one firm of counsel, one firm of accountants and one firm of other agents retained by Holders (excluding Non-Management Holders) holding a majority of the shares of Registrable Common Stock covered by such registration statement (excluding shares held by Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) on behalf of all Holders of Registrable Common Stock registered under such registration statement, the reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (ii) upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, give each of them such reasonable access to all financial and other records, corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of such Holders' and such underwriters' counsel, to conduct a reasonable due diligence investigation for purposes of the Securities Act, and (iii) upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, provide such reasonable opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers, directors, employees and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of such Holders' and such underwriters' counsel, to conduct a reasonable due diligence investigation for purposes of the Securities Act. (b) Confidentiality. Each Holder of Registrable Common Stock shall maintain the confidentiality of any confidential information received from or otherwise made available by the Company to such Holder of Registrable Common Stock. Information that (i) is or becomes available to a Holder of Registrable Common Stock from a public source other than as a result of a disclosure by such Holder or any of its Affiliates, (ii) is disclosed to a Holder of Registrable Common Stock by a third-party source who the Holder of Registrable Common Stock reasonably believes is not bound by an obligation of confidentiality to the Company or (iii) is or becomes required to be disclosed by a Holder of Registrable Common Stock by law, including by court order, shall not be deemed to be confidential information for purposes of this Agreement. If any Holder or any such Holder's representative is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process by any government or governmental agencies or authority or by law or regulation) to disclose any such confidential information, such Holder shall promptly notify the Company of such request or requirement so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, such Holder and such Holders' representative will furnish only that portion of the confidential information which such Holder or its representative is advised by its counsel is legally required to be disclosed and reasonably cooperate with the Company, at the Company's sole cost and expense, with any reasonable action of the Company to obtain a protective order or other reasonable
SC 13D116th Page of 129TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 116th
18 assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the confidential information. The Holders of Registrable Common Stock shall not grant access, and the Company shall not be required to grant access, to information under this Section 8 to any Person who will not agree to maintain the confidentiality (to the same extent a Holder is required to maintain confidentiality) of any confidential information received from or otherwise made available to it by the Company or the holders of Registrable Common Stock under this Agreement. 9. Postponements. o) If the Company shall fail to file any registration statement to be filed pursuant to a request for registration under Section 3(a) hereof, the Holders requesting such registration shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration if such withdrawal shall be made by Holders of Common Stock (excluding Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) holding an amount of Common Stock such that the Holders (excluding Management Holders and Non-Management Holders) that have not elected to withdraw do not hold the requisite percentage of shares of Common Stock to initiate a request under Section 3. Any such withdrawal shall be made by giving written notice to the Company within 20 days after, in the case of a request pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof, the date on which a registration statement would otherwise have been required to have been filed with the Commission under clause (i) of Section 6 (a) hereof (i.e., 20 days after the date that is 90 days after the conclusion of the period within which requests for registration may be given to the Company, or, if, as of such ninetieth day, the Company does not have the audited financial statements required to be included in the registration statement, 30 days after the receipt by the Company from its independent public accountants of such audited financial statements). In the event of such withdrawal, the request for registration shall not be counted for purposes of determining the number of registrations to which Holders are entitled pursuant to Section 3 hereof. The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred in connection with a request for registration withdrawn pursuant to this paragraph. p) The Company shall not be obligated to file any registration statement, or file any amendment or supplement to any registration statement, and may suspend the registration process and/or any Selling Holder's ability to use a prospectus, at any time (but not to exceed one time in any twelve-month period) when the Company, in the good faith judgment of its Board of Directors, reasonably believes that the continuation of the registration process thereof at the time requested would adversely affect a pending or proposed significant financing or a significant acquisition, merger, recapitalization, consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction, or negotiations, discussions or pending proposals with respect thereto, or would require the disclosure of material non-public information that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or a material adverse effect on any significant subsidiary (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act). The filing of a registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, by the Company cannot be deferred, and the Selling Holders' rights to make sales pursuant to an effective registration statement cannot be suspended, pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence for more than ten days after the abandonment or consummation of any of the foregoing proposals or transactions or for more than 120 days after the date of the Board's determination referenced in the preceding sentence. If the Company suspends the sellers' rights to make sales pursuant hereto, the applicable registration period shall be extended by the number of days of such suspension.

19 10. Indemnification. (a) Indemnification by the Company. In connection with any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a), 3(a) or 4 hereof, to the fullest extent permitted by law the Company shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless, each Holder and seller of any Registrable Common Stock covered by such registration statement and each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) such Holder or seller or any such underwriter, and their respective stockholders, directors, officers, employees, partners, agents and Affiliates (each, a "Company Indemnitee" for purposes of this Section 10(a)), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof and whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto), joint or several, and expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of legal counsel and reasonable costs of investigation, to which such Company Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise (collectively, a "Loss" or "Losses"), insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered or otherwise offered or sold under the Securities Act or otherwise, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus related thereto, or any amendment or supplement thereto (collectively, "Offering Documents"), or 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 light of the circumstances in which they were made not misleading, or any violation by the Company of any federal or state law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action required of or inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration; provided, that, the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Offering Documents in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in a writing duly executed by such Company Indemnitee specifically stating that it is expressly for use therein; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable to any Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Common Stock or any other person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) such underwriter, in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of such Person's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus (including any documents incorporated by reference therein), as the same may be then supplemented or amended, to the Person asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Common Stock to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Indemnitee and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Company Indemnitee. (b) Indemnification by the Offerors and Sellers. In connection with any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a), 3(a) or 4 hereof in which a Holder has registered for sale Registrable Common Stock, each such Holder or seller of Registrable Common Stock shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Company and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, stockholders, Affiliates and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the
SC 13D118th Page of 129TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 118th
20 meaning of the Exchange Act) the Company and each other seller and such seller's employees, directors, officers, stockholders, partners, agents and Affiliates (each, a "Holder Indemnitee" for purposes of this Section 10(b)), against all Losses insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Offering Documents (or any document incorporated by reference therein) or 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 light of circumstances in which they were made not misleading, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in a writing duly executed by such Holder or seller of Registrable Common Stock specifically stating that it is expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of such indemnifying party under this Section 10(b) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party in the sale of Registrable Common Stock giving rise to such liability. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder Indemnitee and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such indemnifying party. (c) Notices of Losses, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a Loss referred to in the preceding subsections of this Section 10, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding subsections of this Section 10, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such Loss, to assume and control the defense thereof, in each case at its own expense, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after its assumption of the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, 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 a release from all liability in respect of such Loss or which requires action on the part of such indemnified party or otherwise subjects the indemnified party to any obligation or restriction to which it would not otherwise be subject. (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 10 in respect of any Loss, then, in lieu of the amount paid or payable under subsection (a) or (b) of
SC 13D119th Page of 129TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 119th
21 this Section 10, the indemnified party and the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 10 shall contribute to the aggregate Losses (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating the same) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the prospective sellers of Registrable Common Stock covered by the registration statement which resulted in such Loss or action in respect thereof, with respect to the statements, omissions or action which resulted in such Loss or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and such prospective sellers, on the other hand, from their sale of Registrable Common Stock; provided, that, for purposes of this clause (ii), the relative benefits received by the prospective sellers shall be deemed not to exceed the amount received by such sellers. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations, if any, of the selling holders of Registrable Common Stock to contribute as provided in this subsection (d) are several in proportion to the relative value of their respective Registrable Common Stock covered by such registration statement and not joint. In addition, no Person shall be obligated to contribute hereunder any amounts in payment for any settlement of any action or Loss effected without such Person's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. (e) Other Indemnification. The Company and, in connection with any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a), each Holder or seller, shall, and, in connection with any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 3(a) or 4, each Holder or seller who has registered for sale Registrable Common Stock, shall, with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority other than the Securities Act, indemnify Holder Indemnitees and Company Indemnitees, respectively, against Losses, or, to the extent that indemnification shall be unavailable to a Holder Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, contribute to the aggregate Losses of such Holder Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee in a manner similar to that specified in the preceding subsections of this Section 10 (with appropriate modifications). (f) Indemnification Payments. The indemnification and contribution required by this Section 10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of any investigation or defense, as and when any Loss is incurred and is due and payable. 11. Registration Rights to Others. If the Company shall at any time hereafter provide to any holder of any securities of the Company rights with respect to the registration of such securities under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, such rights shall not be in conflict with or adversely affect any of the rights provided to the holders of Registrable Common Stock in, or conflict (in a manner that adversely affects holders of Registrable Common Stock) with any other provisions included in, this Agreement. 12. Adjustments Affecting Registrable Common Stock.

22 Without the written consent of Holders ((i) subject to the Management Condition and (ii) excluding Non-Management Holders) of a majority of the outstanding shares of Registrable Common Stock (excluding shares held by Non-Management Holders), the Company shall not effect or permit to occur any combination, subdivision or reclassification of Registrable Common Stock that would materially adversely affect the ability of the Holders to include such Registrable Common Stock in any registration of its securities under the Securities Act contemplated by this Agreement or the marketability of such Registrable Common Stock under any such registration or other offering. 13. Rule 144 and Rule 144A. If the Company has a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to enable Holders to sell Registrable Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, (b) Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (c) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the Commission, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, filing on a timely basis all reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 14. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived if, but only if, the written consent to such amendment, modification or waiver has been obtained from (i) except as provided in clause (ii) below, the Holder or Holders ((i) subject to the Management Condition and (ii) excluding Non-Management Holders) of at least a majority of the shares of Registrable Common Stock (excluding shares held by Non-Management Holders) affected by such amendment, modification or waiver and (ii) in the case of any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of Section 5 or 9 hereof or this Section 14 or any provisions as to the number of requests for registration to which holders of Registrable Common Stock are entitled under Section 3 or 4 hereof, or any amendment, modification or waiver which adversely affects any right and/or obligation under this Agreement of any Holder, the written consent of each Holder so affected. 15. Nominees for Beneficial Owners. In the event that any Registrable Common Stock is held by a nominee for the beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its election in writing delivered to the Company, be treated as the Holder of such Registrable Common Stock for purposes of any request or other action by any Holder or Holders pursuant to this Agreement or any determination of the number or percentage of shares of Registrable Common Stock held by any Holder or Holders contemplated by this Agreement. If the beneficial owner of any Registrable Common Stock so elects, the Company may require assurances reasonably satisfactory to it of such owner's beneficial ownership of such Registrable Common Stock.

23 16. Assignment. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. Any Holder may assign to any permitted Transferee (as permitted under applicable law and the Securityholders' Agreement, dated of even date herewith, by and among the Company and certain holders of Common Stock) of its Registrable Common Stock its rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that such Transferee shall agree in writing with the parties hereto prior to the assignment to be bound by this Agreement as if it were an original party hereto, whereupon such assignee shall for all purposes be deemed to be a Holder (and, in the case of a Transferee of a Management Holder, a Non-Management Holder or a Transferee thereof, a Management Holder or Non-Management Holder) under this Agreement. Except as provided above or otherwise permitted by this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by any Holder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof without the consent of the Holders ((i) subject to the Management Condition and (ii) excluding Non-Management Holders) holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Registrable Common Stock. 17. Calculation of Percentage or Number of Shares of Registrable Common Stock. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to a percentage or number of shares of Registrable Common Stock or Common Stock shall be calculated based upon the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, outstanding at the time such calculation is made and shall exclude any Registrable Common Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, owned by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. For the purposes of calculating any percentage or number of shares of Registrable Common Stock or Common Stock as contemplated by the previous sentence, the terms "Holder", "Initiating Holder", "Management Holder", "Non-Management Holder" and "Original Holder" shall include all Affiliates thereof owning any shares of Registrable Common Stock or Common Stock. 18. Termination of Registration Rights. This Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company's obligations under Sections 2(a), 3(a) and 4 hereof to register Common Stock for sale under the Securities Act shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the first date on which no shares of Registrable Common Stock are outstanding or (ii) the first date on which less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan are held by the Original Holders or their Affiliates. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 18, the parties' obligations under Section 5 and Section 10 hereof shall continue in full force and effect. 19. Miscellaneous. (a) Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall execute such documents and other papers and perform such further acts as may be reasonably required or advisable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

24 (b) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions hereof. (c) Conflicting Instructions. A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Common Stock whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable Common Stock. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Common Stock, the Company will act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Common Stock. (d) Remedies. Each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and the Company hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. (e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein, and there are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants, or undertakings with respect to the subject matter hereof, other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein.

(g) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. (h) Severability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any other party hereto shall be required to take any action which would be in violation of any applicable Federal or state securities law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement, including any such provision, in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

25 (i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement. 20. Management Holders. Each employee of the Company (and his or her Affiliates) who is or becomes a Holder of Registrable Common Stock is deemed a party hereto by the Plan and pursuant to the Plan is or shall be bound hereby.
