ARTICLE IV

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 4.1 Demand Registration.

(a) Request by the Investor. Subject to the terms of this ARTICLE IV, for so long as the Investor beneficially owns a number of Common Stock (including Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) that, in aggregate, is equal to at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Investor may by written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”) request the Company to effect the Registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor. Each request must specify the number

of Registrable Securities for which registration is requested and the intended method or methods of distribution thereof. Upon receipt of such a request, the Company shall as soon as practicable cause the Registrable Securities specified in such Demand Notice to be Registered and/or qualified for sale and distribution in such jurisdictions as the Investor may reasonably request, to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods as aforesaid). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration and/or qualification to be complete as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days, after receipt of the Demand Notice. The Company shall be obligated to effect no more than one (1) Registration requested by the Investor during any twelve-month period; provided that a Registration shall not be deemed to have been effected under this Section 4.1 if (i) less than all Registrable Securities set forth in such Demand Notice are Registered in such Registration or (ii) prior to the sale of all of the Registrable Securities included in the applicable registration relating to such request, such Registration is adversely affected by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission (other than any such stop order, injunction, or other requirement of the Commission prompted by act or omission of the Investor). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Company is not current in its reporting obligations under the U.S. Securities Laws and that it will not be able to effect a Registration while the Company is not current in its reporting obligations under the U.S. Securities Laws, provided that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to become current in its reporting obligations under the U.S. Securities Laws as soon as practicable.

(b) Limitation. The Company shall not be obligated to Register or qualify Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.1(a) above, if the aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be Registered under the Demand Notice is less than $3,000,000.

(c) Right of Deferral. If, after receiving a Demand Notice, the Company furnishes to the Investor a certificate signed by an officer or director of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would materially interfere with a bona fide business, acquisition or divestiture or financing transaction of the Company or is reasonably likely to require premature disclosure of information, the premature disclosure of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Company, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period not exceeding ninety (90) days from the receipt of a Demand Notice; provided, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that the Company shall not Register any other Securities during such ninety (90) day period (other than Exempt Registrations). In the event that the Company exercises such right, the Investor shall be entitled to withdraw its Demand Notice by written notice to the Company and such withdrawn Demand Notice shall not constitute a request by such Investor to effect a Registration under Section 4.1(a).

(d) Shelf Registration. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate its eligibility under U.S. Securities Laws to use a Shelf Registration Statement. Upon the written request of the Investor, and provided that the Company is eligible to use a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall file a Shelf Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities of the Investor as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days, after receipt of such request. Unless such Shelf Registration Statement shall become automatically effective, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective by the Commission for all of the Registrable

Securities of the Investor as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement (or a successor Registration Statement filed with respect to the Registrable Securities) continuously effective (including by filing a new Shelf Registration Statement if the initial Shelf Registration Statement expires) in order to permit the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto to be lawfully delivered and the Shelf Registration Statement useable for resale of such Registrable Securities until such Registration Securities may be sold without restriction or limitation under Rule 144.

(e) Underwriting Election. The Investor may request to distribute its or its Affiliates’ Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering by notifying the Company in writing (the “Underwriting Election”). Upon receipt of an Underwriting Election, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration or “takedown” of such Shelf Registration Statement to be in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriters for such offering shall be internationally reputable investment banking firms selected by the Company. If such investment banking firm is not one of the bulge bracket investment banks, the investment banking firm selected by the Company should be reasonably acceptable to the Investor.

Section 4.2 Piggyback Registrations.

(a) Registration of the Company’s Securities. Subject to Section 4.2 (c) hereof, for so long as the Investor beneficially owns a number of Common Stock (including Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) that, in aggregate, is equal to at least five percent (5%) of the Common Stock of the Company, if the Company proposes to Register for its own account any of its Securities (other than a registration statement on S-4 or S-8 or Shelf Registration Statement (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the SEC) for securities to be offered in a transaction of the type referred to in Rule 145 under the Securities Act or to employees of the Company pursuant to any employee benefit plan, respectively), or for the account of any holder of Securities any of such holder’s Securities, in connection with the public offering of such Securities, the Company shall promptly give the Investor written notice of such Registration and, upon the written request of the Investor given within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such notice, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in such Registration any Registrable Securities thereby requested by the Investor. If the Investor decides not to include all or any of its Registrable Securities in such Registration by the Company, the Investor shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Registration Statement or Registration Statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its Securities upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration that was initiated by it under this Section 4.2 prior to the effectiveness of such Registration whether or not the Investor has elected to participate therein. The expenses of such withdrawn Registration shall be borne by the Company, in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof.

(c) Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of the Company’s Securities, the Company shall not be required to Register the

Registrable Securities of the Investor under this Section 4.2 unless the Investor’s Registrable Securities are included in the underwriting and the Investor enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriters and setting forth such terms for the underwriting. In the event the underwriters advise the Investor seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.2 in writing that, in their reasonable opinion, market factors (including the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Securities to be underwritten, the underwriters may exclude some or all Registrable Securities from the Registration and underwriting; provided that the Company shall include the Company’s Securities in such registration, in the priority listed below: (i) in the event the Company initiated such piggyback registration, the Company shall include in such piggyback registration first, the Securities the Company proposes to register and second, the Securities of all other selling security holders, including the Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Investor to be included in such piggyback registration in an amount that, together with the Securities the Company proposes to register, shall not exceed the maximum offering size and shall be allocated among such selling security holders on a pro rata basis; and (ii) in the event any holder of Securities initiated such piggyback registration, the Company shall include in such piggyback registration first, the Securities such initiating security holder proposes to register, second, pro rata among any other Securities requested to be registered pursuant to a contractual right of registration (including Securities requested to be Registered by the Investor pursuant to this Section 4.2) and third, any Securities the Company proposes to register, in an amount that, together with the Securities the initiating security holder and the other selling security holders propose to register, shall not exceed the maximum offering size; provided further that the number of the Registrable Securities that are included in an underwriting must not be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total number of Registrable Securities requested by the Investor to be included in the Registration. If the Investor (or its Affiliate) disapproves of the terms of any underwriting, the Investor (or such Affiliate) may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriters delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwriting shall be withdrawn from the Registration.

(d) Exempt Registration. The Company shall have no obligation to Register any Registrable Securities under this Section 4.2 in connection with an Exempt Registration.

(e) Not a Demand Registration. Registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall not be deemed to be a Registration as described in Section 4.1(a). There shall be no limit on the number of times the Investor may participate in Registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 4.2.

Section 4.3 Procedures. Whenever required under this ARTICLE IV to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to those Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective, and, keep the Registration Statement effective and current for the

(h) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement at the earliest practicable time;

(i) if any such Registration Statement refers to the Investor by name or otherwise as the holder of any Securities, and if the Investor is advised by counsel that it is or may be deemed to be a control person in relation to, or an Affiliate of, the Company, then the Investor shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to the Investor, to the effect that the holding by the Investor is not to be construed as a recommendation by the Investor of the investment quality of the Company’s Securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that the Investor will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (ii) in the event that such reference to the Investor by name or otherwise is not, based on the advice of the counsels to the Company, the Investor and if applicable, the underwriters, required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to the Investor;

(j) if requested by the Investor or the underwriters, include in a prospectus supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement such information as reasonably required to be included therein in order to permit the intended method of distribution of the Registrable Securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such amendment as soon as practicable after the Company’s receipt of such request;

(a) Company Indemnification.

(i) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, each Person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and their respective officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, agents and employees and any underwriter for the Company and each Person who controls such underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) from and against all losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities (whether joint or several) to which they may become subject under applicable Laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or Final Prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission (or alleged omission) to state in the Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or Final Prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of U.S. Securities Laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under U.S. Securities Laws. The Company will reimburse any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.5(a) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

(ii) The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.5(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such Registration by the Investor, underwriter or controlling Person.

(iii) The foregoing indemnity of the Company is subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any defect in a preliminary prospectus but such defect has been eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the applicable Registration becomes effective (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was timely furnished to the Investor or underwriter and was not furnished to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claims or damages at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act.

(b) Investor Indemnification.

(i) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and

employees from and against all losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities (whether joint or several) to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject, under U.S. Securities Laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or Final Prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or Final Prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and signed by the Investor and intended to be specifically for use therein.

(ii) The indemnity contained in this Section 4.5(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and in no event shall the aggregate indemnity under this Section 4.5(b) (including any reimbursement of any expenses) exceed the net proceeds (less underwriting discounts and selling commissions) from the offering received by the Investor. The Investor will not be required to enter into any agreement or undertaking in connection with any Registration providing for any indemnification or contribution on the part of the Investor greater than the Investor’s obligations under this Section 4.5.

(c) Notice of Indemnification Claim. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 4.5(a) or Section 4.5(b) of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under Section 4.5(a) or Section 4.5(b), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party. An indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 4.5to the extent the indemnifying party is so prejudiced, but the omission to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 4.5.

(d) Contribution. If any indemnification provided for in Section 4.5(a) or Section 4.5(b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the 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 and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) 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 the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.5(d), (i) the Investor as an indemnifying party shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that the Investor has otherwise been, or would otherwise be, required to pay pursuant to this Section 4.5(d) by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to a contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 4.6 Reports under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 or pursuant to a Registration on a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to:

(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under all U.S. Securities Laws;

(c) promptly furnish to the Investor upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of all U.S. Securities Laws or, at any time after so qualified, that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents as may be filed by the Company with the Commission, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing the Investor of any rule or regulation of the Commission, that permits the selling of any such securities without Registration or pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement; and

(d) if the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prepare and furnish to the Investor and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Investor to sell shares under Rule 144, and take such further action as any holder of the Investor shares may reasonably request to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

Section 4.7 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the approval of the Investor, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any Securities that would (i) grant such holder or prospective holder any registration rights more favorable to such holder or prospective holder than those rights granted pursuant to this ARTICLE IV, (ii) allow such holder or prospective holder to demand Registration of their securities, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may demand such Securities in any such Registration only to the extent that the demand of such securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Investor that are demanded or (iii) allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any Registration filed under Section 4.1(d), Section 4.1(e) or Section 4.2, unless under the terms of such agreement such holder or prospective holder may include such Securities in any such Registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Investor that are included.

Section 4.8 Termination of the Investor’s Registration Rights. The right of the Investor to request Registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Registration pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 shall terminate when all of the Investor’s Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction or limitation under Rule 144.

Section 4.9 Assignment of the Investor’s Registration Rights. The rights and obligations of the Investor under this ARTICLE IV may be assigned by the Investor to any transferee or assignee of any of the Investor’s Registrable Securities; provided that: (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE IV.

ARTICLE V

PREEMPTIVE RIGHT

Section 5.1 At any time the Company proposes to issue any Securities or transfer any Securities that have been repurchased from the open market and held under the Company’s brokerage account or otherwise held under the Company’s name, including any Common Stock (the “New Securities”), other than: (i) the New Issuance Exceptions and (ii) the issuance of Common Stock on a pro rata basis in connection with the payment of any share dividends, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of such proposal (an “Issue Notice”). The Issue Notice shall specify the number and type of New Securities to be offered by the Company and all material terms and conditions of the proposed offer (including the proposed price or range of prices) per New Security.

If such notice is not given by the Investor within such thirty (30) days thereof, the Investor shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise its preemptive rights under this ARTICLE V with respect to the issuance described in that specific Issue Notice.

Section 5.3 If the Investor (or its Affiliate) exercises its preemptive rights under this ARTICLE V, the closing of the purchase of the New Securities with respect to which such right has been exercised (the “Preemptive Rights Closing Date”) shall take place at the time of the closing of the issuance or transfer of the New Securities, which may not be earlier than ten (10) Trading Days after the giving of the Election Notice, provided that the Preemptive Rights Closing Date may be extended for a maximum of sixty (60) Trading Days to the extent required to comply with applicable Laws (including receipt of any required regulatory approvals). The Company and the Investor (or its Affiliate exercising preemptive rights under this ARTICLE V) will use commercially reasonable efforts to secure any required regulatory or shareholder approvals or other consents in a timely manner, and to comply with any applicable Law necessary in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of, such New Securities.

Section 5.4 In the event that the Investor (or its Affiliate) fails to exercise its preemptive rights under this ARTICLE V within such thirty (30) days period, or in the event that the Investor fails to consummate the purchase of such New Securities within the specified period of time pursuant to Section 5.3 (other than as a result of breach or fault of the Company), the Company shall thereafter be entitled to issue and sell within sixty (60) Trading Days the New Securities not elected to be purchased by the Investor (or its Affiliate) pursuant its preemptive rights to this ARTICLE V, at a price no less than that specified in the Issue Notice, and otherwise upon terms and conditions no more favorable in the aggregate to any purchaser of such New Securities than were specified in the Issue Notice. In the event the Company has not issued and sold such New Securities within such sixty (60) Trading Day period, the Company shall not thereafter offer, issue or sell such New Securities without first offering such New Securities to the Investor in the manner provided in this ARTICLE V.

Section 5.5 In the case of the offering of New Securities for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board; provided, however, that such fair value as determined by the Board shall not exceed the aggregate market price of the New Securities being offered as of the date the Board authorizes the offering of such New Securities.

Section 7.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws thereunder other than New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401.

Section 7.6 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA Rules”) by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the LCIA Rules (the “Arbitral Tribunal”);

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by a sole arbitrator unless either party objects, in which case the arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators. Where the

arbitration is to be conducted by a sole arbitrator, the parties shall attempt to agree upon the selection of the sole arbitrator. If they cannot reach agreement within 30 days from the commencement of the arbitration, the sole arbitrator shall be appointed by the Court of the LCIA (the “LCIA Court”) in accordance with the LCIA Rules. Where the arbitration is to be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators, each party shall nominate one arbitrator and the two party-nominated arbitrators shall then select the chairman of the Arbitral Tribunal. If the two party-nominated arbitrators are unable to do so within 30 days after the commencement of the arbitration or any mutually agreed extension thereof, the chairman shall be selected by the LCIA Court in accordance with the LCIA Rules;

(d) The language of the arbitration shall be English;

(e) Each arbitrator shall be licensed to practice law in New York;

(f) Each party shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction and/or to the Arbitral Tribunal for an order or award of interim, provisional or conservatory measures in order to maintain the status quo or to protect its rights or property pending arbitration pursuant to this Agreement or for the purpose of compelling a party to arbitrate and seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, and any such application shall not be deemed incompatible with, or a waiver of, the parties’ agreement to arbitrate;

(g) The Arbitral Tribunal shall have power to take whatever interim measures it deems necessary, including injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable relief, including in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 7.14 of this Agreement;

(h) The award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal shall be final and binding between the parties and not subject to appeal or other recourse; and

(i) Recognition and enforcement of any award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal may be sought in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 7.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render the provision enforceable and to provide for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby on substantially the same terms as originally set forth herein, and if no feasible interpretation would save such provision, it shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect unless the severed provision is essential to the rights or benefits intended by the parties. In such event, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision or agreement, which most nearly effects the parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement.

Section 7.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, only the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 7.9 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.

Section 7.10 Construction. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties. A facsimile or “PDF” signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original.

Section 7.12 Aggregation of Shares. All Securities held or acquired by the Investor shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights of the Investor under this Agreement.

Section 7.13 Investor Rights Agreement to Control. If, and to the extent that, there are inconsistencies between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the Company Certificates and the Company Bylaws, the terms of this Agreement shall control to the extent permissible under any applicable Law. The parties agree to take all actions necessary or advisable, as promptly as practicable after the discovery of such inconsistency, to amend the Company Certificates and the Company Bylaws so as to eliminate such inconsistency to the extent permissible under any applicable Law.

Section 7.14 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree irreparable harm may occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity, the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement without posting any bond or other undertaking.

Section 7.15 Amendment; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument duly executed by all the parties hereto. The observance of any provision in this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by the written consent of the party against whom such waiver is to be effective. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7.15 shall be binding upon the Company and the Investor and their

respective assigns. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring.

Section 7.16 Expenses. Except as expressly provided herein, each party will bear its own costs and expenses incurred by it or on its behalf in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 7.17 Public Announcements. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, the parties hereto, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, will consult with each other before issuance, and provide each other the opportunity to review, comment upon and concur with, and use all reasonable efforts to agree on any press release or public statement with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and will not (to the extent practicable) issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and agreement, except as may be required by Law or any listing agreement with or requirement of the Nasdaq or any other applicable securities exchange, provided that the disclosing party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or any listing agreement with or requirement of the Nasdaq or any other applicable securities exchange and if reasonably practicable, inform the other parties about the disclosure to be made pursuant to such requirements prior to the disclosure.
