ARTICLE I

ARTICLE II

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND RELATED MATTERS

Section 2.01. Board of Directors.

(a) Liberty shall have the right to nominate up to such number of Liberty Directors as is equal to 20% of the total number of directors on the Board of Directors (rounded up to the next whole number if the total number of directors on the Board of Directors is not an even multiple of 5) so long as Liberty Beneficially Owns at least 16,825,982 Equity Securities (so long as the Ownership Percentage of Liberty is at least equal to 15% of the Total Equity Securities). Liberty shall have the right to nominate one Liberty Director so long as Liberty Beneficially Owns at least 11,217,321 Equity Securities (so long as Liberty’s Ownership Percentage is at least equal to 5% of the Total Equity Securities). As of the date hereof, the Liberty Directors are Xxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx.

(b) The Company shall cause each Liberty Director to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board of Directors to the Company’s stockholders for election as directors at each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the election of each Liberty Director, including soliciting proxies in favor of the election of such persons.

(c) Within a reasonable time prior to the filing with the Commission of its proxy statement or information statement with respect to each meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected, the Company shall, to the extent Liberty is entitled to representation on the Company’s Board of Directors in accordance with this Agreement, provide Liberty with the opportunity to review and comment on the information contained in such proxy or information statement applicable to the director nominees designated by Liberty.

(d) In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal (with or without cause) of any Liberty Director, Liberty shall have the right to designate a replacement Liberty Director to fill such vacancy, and the Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause such vacancy to be filled with the replacement Liberty Director so designated. Upon the written request of Liberty, each Stockholder shall vote (and cause each of the members of its Stockholder Group to vote, if applicable), or act by written consent with respect to, all Equity Securities Beneficially Owned by it and otherwise take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to remove the director designated by Liberty and to elect any replacement director designated by Liberty as provided in the first sentence of this Section 2.01(d).

Section 2.02. Management of the Business. Except as indicated in Section 2.03 below or as required by Delaware law or the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and the By-Laws and the agreements contemplated thereby, Xx. Xxxxxx, so long as he is Chairman and has not become Disabled, will continue to have full authority to operate the day-to-day business

- 2 -

affairs of the Company to the same extent as prior to the date hereof. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause one Liberty Director designated by Liberty for such purpose to be appointed as a member of a committee of the Board of Directors and, to the extent such person qualifies under applicable law (including stock exchange requirements, as applicable, and tax laws) and Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act or other similar requirements, all committees and subcommittees of the Board of Directors that make determinations relating to the compensation of executives of the Company.

Section 2.03. Contingent Matters. So long as Liberty or Xx. Xxxxxx Beneficially Owns, in the case of Liberty, at least 14,956,428 Equity Securities (so long as such Ownership Percentage equals at least 5% of the Total Equity Securities), or, in the case of Xx. Xxxxxx, at least 2,500,000 Company Common Shares with respect to which he has a pecuniary interest and the Chairman Termination Date (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement and not as defined in this Agreement) has not occurred and Xx. Xxxxxx has not become Disabled, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall take any of the following actions (any such action, a “Contingent Matter”) without the prior approval of Xx. Xxxxxx and/or Liberty, whichever (or both) satisfy the foregoing Beneficial Ownership requirements:

(a) any transaction not in the ordinary course of business, launching new or additional channels or engaging in any new field of business, in any case, that will result in, or will have a reasonable likelihood of resulting in, Liberty or Xx. Xxxxxx or any Affiliate thereof being required under law to divest itself of all or any part of its Beneficial Ownership of Company Common Shares, or interests therein, or any other material assets of such Person, or that will render such Person’s continued ownership of such securities, shares, interests or assets illegal or subject to the imposition of a fine or penalty, or that will impose material additional restrictions or limitations on such Person’s full rights of ownership (including, without limitation, voting) thereof or therein. This Contingent Matter will be applied based only on the Beneficial Ownership of Company Common Shares, interests therein or other material assets of Liberty or Xx. Xxxxxx or any Affiliate thereof as of the date hereof; or

(b) if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries incurs any obligations (other than in respect of the customary refinancing of an amount not to exceed the principal amount of the existing obligation being refinanced) included within the definition of Total Debt (the “Incurred Debt”) upon which (and after giving effect to such) incurrence the Total Debt Ratio equals or exceeds 8:1 (for this purpose (x) calculating Total Debt as if the Incurred Debt had been incurred on the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company (the “Balance Sheet Date”) and (y) if the Incurred Debt is being incurred in whole or in part to fund the acquisition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Person or business (whether by way of a merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or otherwise) (an “Acquisition”) then (A) in addition to the adjustment set forth in clause (x) above, Total Debt shall be calculated to be Total Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries plus Total Debt of the Person or business acquired in the Acquisition (substituting, for this purpose, such Person or business for the Company and its Subsidiaries in the definition of Total Debt) as of the Balance Sheet Date to the extent applicable to the business(es) or assets being acquired and (B) there shall be added to the EBITDA otherwise used in calculating the Total Debt Ratio at the Balance Sheet Date an amount equal to the EBITDA of the acquired Person or business (substituting, for this purpose, such Person or business for the Company and its Subsidiaries in the definition of EBITDA) for the four fiscal

- 3 -

quarter period ending as of the Balance Sheet Date to the extent applicable to the business(es) or assets being acquired), then, for so long as the Total Debt Ratio continues to equal or exceed 8:1:

(i) any acquisition or disposition (including pledges), directly or indirectly, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any assets (including debt and/or equity securities) or business (by merger, consolidation or otherwise), the grant or issuance of any debt or equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than, in the case of any of the foregoing, as contemplated by Section 3.01 of this Agreement), the redemption, repurchase or reacquisition of any debt or equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, by the Company or any such Subsidiary, or the incurrence of any indebtedness, or any combination of the foregoing, in any such case, in one transaction or a series of transactions in a six-month period, with a value of 10% or more of the market value of the Total Equity Securities at the time of such transaction, provided that the prepayment, redemption, repurchase or conversion of prepayable, callable, redeemable or convertible securities in accordance with the terms thereof shall not be a transaction subject to this paragraph;

(ii) voluntarily commencing any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any material Subsidiary;

(iii) any material amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company (including the issuance of preferred stock pursuant to the “blank check” authorization in the Certificate of Incorporation, having super voting rights (more than 1 vote per share) or entitled to vote as a class on any matter (except to the extent such class vote is required by Delaware law or to the extent the holder of such preferred stock may have the right to elect directors upon the occurrence of a default in payment of dividends or redemption price));

(iv) engagement by the Company in any line of business other than online and offline travel services and products and related businesses, or other businesses engaged in by the Company as of the date of determination of the Total Debt Ratio;

(v) adopting any stockholder rights plan (or any other plan or arrangement that could reasonably be expected to disadvantage any stockholder on the basis of the size or voting power of its shareholding) that would adversely affect Liberty or Xx. Xxxxxx; and

(vi) entering into any agreement with any holder of Equity Securities in such stockholder’s capacity as such, which grants such stockholder approval rights similar in type and magnitude to those set forth in this Section 2.03.

Section 2.04. Notice of Events. In the event that (a) the Company intends to engage in a transaction of a type that is described in Section 2.03, and (b) the Company does not intend to

- 4 -

seek consent from Liberty and/or Xx. Xxxxxx, whichever (or both) are required to consent to a Contingent Matter (a “Consenting Party”) due to the Company’s good faith belief that the specific provisions of Section 2.03 do not require such consent but that reasonable people acting in good faith could differ as to whether consent is required pursuant to such Section, the Company shall notify the Consenting Parties as to the material terms of the transaction (including the Company’s estimate of the timing thereof) by written notice (including a statement of the Total Debt Ratio) delivered as far in advance of engaging in such transaction as is reasonably practicable unless such transaction was previously publicly disclosed.

Section 2.05. Certain Hedging Transactions. Prior to entering into any Hedging Transaction with respect to more than 4.9% of the outstanding Company Common Shares (based on the number of Company Common Shares outstanding as reported in the Company’s most recently filed report on Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K), Liberty shall give notice to the chief financial officer of the Company (including a brief description of the general structure of the Hedging Transaction contemplated and the potential timing of such Hedging Transaction), which notice must be received no less than one full business day (but not less than 24 hours), but no more than ten business days, prior to the proposed date of effectiveness of such Hedging Transaction. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company will have the right, which must be exercised by notice to Liberty delivered no more than 24 hours after receipt of such notice from Liberty, to require Liberty to delay such Hedging Transaction if (i) the Company has determined in good faith that such Hedging Transaction would adversely affect a contemplated significant corporate transaction (including financing) of the Company and (ii) all Insiders of the Company have been prohibited during such delay period from buying or selling equity securities of the Company (other than transactions between an Insider and the Company in accordance with the terms of any Company equity security or any plan or agreement pursuant to which any such security was granted or issued). The period during which Liberty will be required to delay such Hedging Transaction will not exceed ten business days after the proposed date (as specified in such notice) of effectiveness of such Hedging Transaction, or, if sooner, the date the Company informs Insiders that they may trade in equity securities of the Company.

Section 2.06. Notice of Sale of Company Class B Stock. Prior to effecting any Transfer of Company Class B Stock other than to a member of such transferring Stockholder’s Stockholder Group, the transferring Stockholder shall deliver written notice to the Company, which shall deliver such notice to the Board of Directors of the Company, which notice shall specify (i) the Person to whom the transferring Stockholder proposes to make such Transfer and (ii) the number or amount of the shares of Company Class B Stock to be Transferred.

ARTICLE III

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

Section 3.01. Liberty Preemptive Rights.

- 5 -

issuances aggregating less than 1% with respect to which Liberty’s preemptive right has not become exercisable, shall be in excess of 1% of the total number of Company Common Shares outstanding after giving effect to such issuance (an “Additional Issuance”), the Company shall give written notice to Liberty not later than five business days after the issuance, specifying the number of Company Common Shares issued or to be issued and the Issue Price (if known) per share. Liberty shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase or cause one or more of the Liberty Holdcos to purchase for cash a number (but not less than such number) of Company Common Shares (allocated between Company Common Stock and Company Class B Stock in the same proportion as the issuance or issuances giving rise to the preemptive right hereunder, except to the extent that Liberty opts to receive Company Common Stock in lieu of Company Class B Stock), so that Liberty and the Liberty Holdcos shall collectively maintain the identical percentage equity Beneficial Ownership interest in the Company that Liberty and the Liberty Holdcos collectively owned immediately prior to the Additional Issuance requiring notice from the Company to Liberty described in the first sentence of this paragraph (but not in excess of 20.01% of the outstanding Total Equity Securities) after giving effect to such Additional Issuance and to shares of Company Common Stock that are to be issued to Liberty and the Liberty Holdcos pursuant to this Section 3.01, by sending an irrevocable written notice to the Company not later than fifteen business days after receipt of such notice of an Additional Issuance (or, if later, two business days following the determination of the Issue Price) from the Company that it elects to purchase or to cause one or more of the Liberty Holdcos to purchase all of such Company Common Shares (the “Additional Shares”). The closing of the purchase of Additional Shares shall be the later of ten business days after the delivery of the notice of election by Liberty and five business days after receipt of any necessary regulatory approvals.

(b) The purchase or redemption of any Company Common Shares by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall not result in an increase in the percentage of Company equity that Liberty may be entitled to acquire pursuant to the preemptive right in Section 3.01(a) above.

ARTICLE V

DISTRIBUTION TRANSACTION AND BLOCK SALE

Section 5.01. Distribution Transaction.

(a) In the event Liberty desires to effect a Distribution Transaction in which it will Transfer all of the Company Common Shares Beneficially Owned by it (other than any Restricted Equity Securities) to a Qualified Distribution Transferee (which Transfer, for the avoidance of doubt, will be deemed to occur on the date such Qualified Distribution Transferee ceases to be a Subsidiary of Liberty), the Company, Xx. Xxxxxx, Liberty and the Qualified Distribution Transferee and, if applicable under the proviso to this Section 5.01(a), the Liberty Spinco, will enter into an amendment to this Agreement on or prior to the date of consummation of such Distribution Transaction to: (i) effective immediately prior to such Distribution Transaction (but subject to the consummation of the Distribution Transaction) assign all rights and obligations of Liberty under this Agreement (including its rights pursuant to Articles II and III and Section 7.08 hereof) to the Qualified Distribution Transferee, (ii) have such Qualified Distribution Transferee agree to accept, as of immediately prior to the effective time of such Distribution Transaction (but subject to the consummation of the Distribution Transaction), such assignment of rights and agree to assume and perform all liabilities and obligations of Liberty hereunder to be performed following the effective time of such Distribution Transaction, (iii) effective immediately prior to such Distribution Transaction (but subject to the consummation of the Distribution Transaction) substitute such Qualified Distribution Transferee for Liberty (and the stockholder group of the Qualified Distribution Transferee for the Liberty Stockholder Group) for all purposes under this Agreement and (iv) provide for (w) a representation from Liberty that such amendment is being entered into in connection with a Distribution Transaction involving the Qualified Distribution Transferee pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Agreement, (x) Liberty’s acknowledgement that it shall not be entitled to any benefits under this Agreement following such Distribution Transaction, (y) each of the Company’s and Xx. Xxxxxx’x acknowledgement that Liberty shall not be subject to any liability under this Agreement to it or him, as applicable, following such Distribution Transaction (except for any liability arising from any breach of this Agreement by Liberty or relating to any actions or events occurring, in each case, on or prior to the date of the Distribution Transaction) and (z) Liberty’s acknowledgement that neither the Company nor Xx. Xxxxxx shall be subject to any liability to Liberty under this Agreement following such Distribution Transaction (except for any liability arising from any breach of this Agreement by the Company or Xx. Xxxxxx, as applicable, or relating to any actions or events occurring, in each case, on or prior to the date of the Distribution Transaction); provided, that if the Qualified Distribution Transferee is not the Liberty Spinco, then the Liberty Spinco shall also become a party to this Agreement and in such case each reference in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) to Qualified Distribution Transferee shall be to the Liberty Spinco and the Qualified Distribution Transferee shall become a party to this Agreement as a member of the Liberty Spinco’s stockholder group.

(b) The Company agrees that:

(i) it shall not adopt any stockholder rights plan or similar plan or agreement (or amend or modify any such plan or agreement) or adopt or

- 8 -

approve any charter or by-law provision, in each case, the purpose or reasonably evident effect of which is to (x) restrict or limit Liberty’s ability to engage in a Distribution Transaction with a Qualified Distribution Transferee or (y) impose on the Qualified Distribution Transferee, or cause the Qualified Distribution Transferee to incur or suffer, material economic detriment (including through disproportionate dilution, relative to other holders of Company Common Shares, or through a requirement to purchase or otherwise acquire, or offer to acquire, additional equity securities of the Company in the form of a mandatory offer requirement or similar provision) as a result of its receipt or continued ownership of Company Common Shares or other equity securities of the Company Transferred to it in a Distribution Transaction; provided that, any adoption, approval, amendment or modification by the Company of any stockholder rights plan (or similar plan or agreement) or charter or by-law provision having anti-takeover provisions of general applicability, which does not cause Liberty to incur or suffer material economic detriment as a result of its ownership of Company Common Shares or other equity securities of the Company upon such adoption, approval, amendment or modification (and, assuming the Distribution Transaction occurred on such date, would not cause a Qualified Distribution Transferee to incur or suffer such effects upon the consummation of the Distribution Transaction), shall not be deemed to have any purpose or effect specified in clause (y) above; and

(ii) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the written request of Liberty and prior to the consummation of a Distribution Transaction involving a Qualified Distribution Transferee, the Board of Directors will approve the Transfer of Company Common Shares to the Qualified Distribution Transferee in such Distribution Transaction for purposes of Section 203(a)(1) of the DGCL in the event that the Qualified Distribution Transferee’s ownership of Company Common Shares immediately following the Distribution Transaction would cause it to become an “interested stockholder” for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL.

Section 5.02. Block Sale; Purchase/Exchange Right.

(a) Liberty shall have the rights and obligations set forth in Section 5.02(b) and Section 5.02(c) in respect of a Block Sale provided that the following conditions are satisfied at the time of such proposed Block Sale:

(ii) Liberty does not Beneficially Own Equity Securities in excess of 30% of the Total Equity Securities (excluding, for such purposes, any increase in Liberty’s Beneficial Ownership resulting from any redemption, repurchase or reacquisition of any Equity Securities by the Company);

(iii) if such proposed Block Sale would be consummated on or prior to the second anniversary of December 20, 2011, the Company and

- 9 -

TripAdvisor have consented in writing to such Block Sale (which consent will be delivered by the Company and TripAdvisor if the Company and TripAdvisor acting in good faith determine that either (x) any of the “Safe Harbors” set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.355-7(d) applies to such Block Sale or (y) there was no “agreement, understanding, arrangement or substantial negotiations” with the Block Sale Transferee regarding such Block Sale or any “similar acquisition” (as such terms are defined in Treas.

Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights to trial by jury in connection with any Litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.06. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

Section 7.07. Specific Performance. The Company, Xx. Xxxxxx and Liberty each acknowledge and agree that the parties’ respective remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition of that fact, agree that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Xx. Xxxxxx, the Company or Liberty of the provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any remedies at law, Xx. Xxxxxx, Liberty and the Company, respectively, without posting any bond shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

Section 7.08. Registration Rights. (a) Liberty and Xx. Xxxxxx shall be entitled to customary registration rights relating to Company Common Stock owned by them as of the date hereof or acquired from the Company (including upon conversion of Company Class B Stock) in the future (including the ability to transfer registration rights as set forth in this Agreement in connection with the sale or other disposition of Company Common Stock).

(b) If requested by a Stockholder, the Company shall be required promptly to cause the Company Common Stock owned by such Stockholder or its Affiliates to be registered under the Securities Act in order to permit such Stockholder or such Affiliate to sell such shares in one or more (but not more than (i) in the case of Liberty, four and (ii) in the case of Xx. Xxxxxx, three) registered public offerings (each, a “Demand Registration”). Each Stockholder shall also be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights. If the amount of shares sought to be registered by a Stockholder and its Affiliates pursuant to any Demand Registration is reduced by more than 25% pursuant to any underwriters’ cutback, then such Stockholder may elect to request the Company to withdraw such registration, in which case, such registration shall not count as one of such Stockholder’s Demand Registrations. If a Stockholder requests that any Demand Registration be an underwritten offering, then such Stockholder shall select the underwriter(s) to administer the offering, provided that such underwriter(s) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Stockholder initiating the Demand Registration in writing that in its opinion the total number or dollar amount of securities proposed to be sold in such offering is such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the Company will

- 22 -

include in such registration, first, the securities of the initiating Stockholder, and, thereafter, any securities to be sold for the account of others who are participating in such registration (as determined on a fair and equitable basis by the Company). In connection with any Demand Registration or inclusion of a Stockholder’s or its Affiliate’s shares in a piggyback registration, the Company, such Stockholder and/or its Affiliates shall enter into an agreement containing terms (including representations, covenants and indemnities by the Company and such Stockholder), and shall be subject to limitations, conditions, and blackout periods, customary for a secondary offering by a selling stockholder. The costs of the registration (other than underwriting discounts, fees and commissions) shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall not be required to register such shares if a Stockholder would be permitted to sell the Company Common Stock in the quantities proposed to be sold at such time in one transaction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or under another comparable exemption therefrom.

(c) If the Company and a Stockholder cannot agree as to what constitutes customary terms within ten days of such Stockholder’s request for registration (whether in a Demand Registration or a piggyback registration), then such determination shall be made by a law firm of national reputation mutually acceptable to the Company and such Stockholder.

Section 7.09. Termination. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate (a) as to Liberty, at such time that Liberty Beneficially Owns Equity Securities representing less than 5% of the Total Equity Securities and (b) as to Xx. Xxxxxx, at such time that the Chairman Termination Date has occurred or at such time as he becomes Disabled. In respect of “Contingent Matters,” such provisions shall terminate as to Xx. Xxxxxx and Liberty as set forth therein.

Section 7.10. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, provided that the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to place the parties in the same position as they would have been in had such provision not been held to be invalid, void or unenforceable.

Section 7.11. Cooperation. Each of Liberty and Xx. Xxxxxx covenants and agrees with the other to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to fulfill the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 7.12. Adjustment of Share Numbers and Prices. If, after the effective time of this Agreement, there is a subdivision, split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or similar event with respect to any of the shares of capital stock referred to in this Agreement, then, in any such event, the numbers and types of shares of such capital stock referred to in this Agreement and, if applicable, the prices of such shares, shall be adjusted to the number and types of shares of such capital stock that a holder of such number of shares of such capital stock would own or be entitled to receive as a result of such event if such holder had held such number of shares immediately prior to the record date for, or effectiveness of, such event, and the prices for such shares shall be similarly adjusted.

- 23 -

Section 7.13. Effective Time. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof, immediately following consummation of TripAdvisor’s spin-off from the Company and transactions relating thereto (the “Effective Time”).

Section 7.14. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, that may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way (including, without limitation, effective upon the date hereof, all stockholders agreements relating to the Company (other than the Stockholders Agreement) between Liberty and Xx. Xxxxxx).

Section 7.15. Interpretation. References in this Agreement to Articles and Sections shall be deemed to be references to Articles and Sections of this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of such agreement or instrument.

From the Effective Date until the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Standstill Period”), the Block Sale Transferee and its Affiliates shall not acquire Beneficial Ownership of any Equity Securities that would cause the Block Sale Transferee, its Affiliates or any group of which any of them are a part to Beneficially Own in the aggregate more than thirty percent (30%) of the Total Equity Securities (subject to adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.1, the “Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that the Block Sale Transferee shall not be in breach of the Ownership Limitation to the extent that its Beneficial Ownership of Equity Securities exceeds the Ownership Limitation as a result of (x) a reduction in the number of Total Equity Securities (whether due to a redemption, share buyback, reverse stock split or similar transaction effected by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), (y) a distribution that was made by the Company pursuant to a Rights Offering or a distribution that was made generally to holders of Company Common Shares (or other equity securities of the Company) as a result of their ownership of Company Common Shares (or other equity securities of the Company) including, without limitation, pursuant to a shareholder rights plan or similar

plan or agreement, or (z) the acquisition by the Block Sale Transferee or its Affiliates of any Company Common Shares (or other equity securities of the Company) as a result of the exercise (or exchange) of any rights (1) distributed to the Block Sale Transferee or its Affiliates by the Company pursuant to clause (y) above and (2) acquired, directly or indirectly, by the Block Sale Transferee or its Affiliates from third parties (“Third Party Rights”), subject, as to the exercise (or exchange) of the Third Party Rights, to the following limitations: (A) in the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries enters into an agreement with a standby purchaser or underwriter (a “Standby Purchaser”) pursuant to which such Standby Purchaser will purchase and exercise rights or otherwise purchase Company Common Shares (or other equity securities) that would have been issuable upon the exercise of rights which expire unexercised upon the expiration of such offering or distribution (such offering or distribution, an “Underwritten Offering”), then the Block Sale Transferee and its Affiliates will only be permitted to exercise such Third Party Rights to the extent that, assuming the Standby Purchaser exercised rights or acquired shares in accordance with its obligations under such agreement with the Company, such exercise would not result in the Block Sale Transferee and its Affiliates exceeding the Ownership Limitation in effect immediately prior to the commencement of such Rights Offering or other distribution and (B) in the event such offering or distribution is not an Underwritten Offering, or in the event of a separation or distribution of rights pursuant to a shareholder rights plan or similar plan or agreement, the Block Sale Transferee and its Affiliates will not be entitled to exercise (or exchange) Third Party Rights to the extent that after giving effect to the exercise (or exchange) of all rights distributed to the Block Sale Transferee and its Affiliates by the Company, such exercise (or exchange) of Third Party Rights would result in the Block Sale Transferee and its Affiliates having Beneficial Ownership of Equity Securities, determined immediately following the closing of such offering or distribution or (in the case of a shareholder rights plan or similar plan or agreement) at such time as all of the Company’s stockholders electing to exercise rights (excluding any “acquiring person”) have exercised such rights or, if applicable, the Company has exchanged the rights held by all of the Company’s stockholders (other than by the “acquiring person”), in an amount that exceeds the Ownership Limitation in effect immediately prior to the commencement of such offering, distribution or separation, as applicable. In the event that the Block Sale Transferee’s Beneficial Ownership of Equity Securities exceeds the Ownership Limitation as a result of actions referred to in clauses (x) or (z) of this Section 2.1 (or any combination thereof and the Block Sale Transferee is otherwise in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.1), then the Ownership Limitation shall be deemed increased to that percentage which is equal to the Block Sale Transferee’s Beneficial Ownership of Total Equity Securities immediately following (i) for purposes of clause (x), the event that caused such increase and (ii) for purposes of clause (z), the closing of such Rights Offering or distribution or (in the case of a shareholder rights plan or similar plan or agreement) at such time as all of the Company’s stockholders electing to exercise rights (excluding any “acquiring person”) have exercised such rights or, if applicable, the Company has exchanged the rights held by all of the Company’s stockholders (other than by the “acquiring person”), and thereafter the Block Sale Transferee and its Affiliates shall not acquire any Company Common Shares (or other equity securities of the Company) that would result in it exceeding such adjusted Ownership Limitation except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2.1. The Block Sale Transferee acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Section 2.1 is intended to limit or restrict the operation of any shareholder rights plan or similar plan or agreement adopted by the Company.

2.2 Share Ownership Notice. Within 5 business days after the end of each calendar quarter during the Standstill Period, commencing with the quarter ending [—], the Block Sale Transferee shall provide written notice to the Company of the number of Equity Securities Beneficially Owned by the Block Sale Transferee at the end of such quarter.

Xxxxxx as of such date, and the Block Sale Transferee agrees to hold the information contained in such notice in confidence (except in the event that the Block Sale Transferee is required by law, regulation, legal process, regulatory authority (including, without limitation, any stock exchange) or other applicable judicial or governmental order to disclose the information contained in such notice or to the extent necessary to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement).
