Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreements.
    
On October 7, 2011, HUGHES Telematics, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a private placement of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and a series of exchange transactions pursuant to which the Company raised aggregate gross cash proceeds of approximately $41.0 million and reduced its total indebtedness by approximately $7.9 million. In summary, the transactions included the following:

The issuance and sale for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $20.0 million of 4,875,855 shares of common stock to a group of accredited investors who are non-affiliates of the Company, reflecting a purchase price of $4.10 per share;
The issuance of $21.0 million of new indebtedness under the Company's First Lien Credit Agreement (as defined below) (the “Additional Loan”);
The exchange by an affiliate of Apollo Global Management LLC (“Apollo”) of approximately $5.9 million of indebtedness issued pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement for 1,448,350 shares of common stock, reflecting an exchange price of $4.10 per share; and
The exchange, including by an affiliate of Apollo, of all of the approximately $23.0 million of indebtedness issued pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement (as defined below) for 4,784,019 shares of common stock, reflecting an exchange price of $4.80 per share.

The private placement and exchange transactions were completed pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2011 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and each of the entities and individuals named therein (the “Purchasers”). The aggregate consideration for the 11,108,224 shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement consisted of approximately $20.0 million in cash, the exchange of approximately $5.9 million of indebtedness issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2008 (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as collateral agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, as amended, and the exchange of approximately $23.0 million issued pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2009 (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and PLASE HT, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, as amended. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement for general corporate purposes. Included as part of the transactions, PLASE HT, LLC, which is an affiliate of Apollo, received (i) 1,448,350 shares of common stock in exchange for approximately $5.9 million of indebtedness issued pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement and (ii) 3,678,063 shares of common stock in exchange for approximately $17.7 million of indebtedness issued pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

The issuance and sale of the common stock in the private placement and exchange transactions were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the shares may not be sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The shares were offered and sold pursuant to the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 under the Securities Act and/or Sections 4(2) and 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

In connection with the private placement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2011 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with the Purchasers requiring that, among other things, the Company register the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the private placement. If the Company does not meet certain deadlines with respect to filing and making a registration statement covering such resale effective, then cash penalties of 1% of the purchase price per month for up to twelve months may apply.

In connection with the transactions described above, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2011 (the “Sixth Amendment”), with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Sixth Amendment, among other things, permitted the exchange of the approximately $5.9 million of existing indebtedness under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the exchange of the existing indebtedness under the Second Lien Credit Agreement in the exchange transactions and excluded the cash proceeds received in the private placement from the requirement to use 25% of the net cash proceeds from the sale of equity for the repayment of loans outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, an additional covenant was added to the First Lien Credit Agreement which requires the Company to maintain a minimum balance of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $5.0 million, subject to certain cure measures. Certain lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement who consented to the Sixth Amendment received a consent fee payable in an aggregate of 321,934 shares of common stock of the Company. The shares issued as a consent fee were offered and sold pursuant to the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 under the Securities Act and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and may not be sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

The Sixth Amendment also allowed for the Additional Loan in the amount of $21.0 million to be provided to the Company pursuant to an additional loan agreement by and among the Company and its subsidiaries, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as collateral agent, and Barclays Bank PLC, as lender.  Affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC perform certain investment banking and investment advisory services for the Company for which they receive customary fees and commissions. The Additional Loan has the same terms and conditions and the same security and guarantees as all other loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Additional Loan for general corporate purposes.

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Sixth Amendment and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Sixth Amendment, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

Upon the consummation of the private placement and payment of certain remaining indebtedness under the Second Lien Credit Agreement on October 7, 2011, the Second Lien Credit Agreement was terminated and repaid in full and all liens in favor of the collateral agent thereunder were released in their entirety. The disclosure under Item 1.01 of this current report is also responsive to this Item 1.02 and is incorporated herein by reference.

If and to the extent that such indemnification is unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such Actual Damages which shall be permissible under applicable Law. Such contribution shall be determined upon taking into account the relative benefits and relative fault of the parties hereto.

Such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 11.2 hereof.
(b)    Third Party Claims or Actions.
(i)    In the event any Action is made or brought by any third party against an Indemnified Party, with respect to which the Company may have liability for Actual Damages under this Section 10, the Company shall, at its own expense, be entitled

27



to participate in and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense, with independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.
(ii)    If the Company elects to assume control of such defense or settlement, it shall conduct such defense or settlement in a manner reasonably satisfactory to and effective to protect, the Indemnified Party; and such party and its counsel will keep the Indemnified Party reasonably advised as to its conduct of such defense or settlement, and no compromise or settlement shall be agreed or made without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be reasonably withheld. In any case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel and such counsel may participate in such Action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, when and as incurred, unless (A) the employment of counsel by the Indemnified Party has been authorized in writing by the Company, (B) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to assume the defense of such Action within five days after the Company has notice thereof, (C) the Company fails to conduct such defense or settlement in a reasonable manner, (D) the defense of the Indemnified Party by the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such Action, or (E) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such Action include both the Indemnified Party and the Company, and the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Company. If any clause (A) through (E) of the preceding sentence shall be applicable, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ one separate counsel (and any required local counsel) to direct or participate in the defense of such Action on behalf of the Indemnified Party and may contest, pay, settle or compromise any such claim on such terms and conditions as the Indemnified Party may determine (subject to the consent of the Company which shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the reasonable fees and disbursements of such one counsel (and local counsel) shall constitute Actual Damages hereunder.
(iii)    Each party shall keep each of the other parties hereto reasonably informed of such Action at all stages thereof whether or not such party is represented by its own counsel.
10.3    Payments. The indemnification required by this Section 10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Actual Damages are incurred.
10.4    No Exclusive Remedy. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 10 shall not be any Purchaser’s exclusive remedy against the Company for any demand, claim, action or cause of action, assessment, loss, damage, liability, cost or expense.
11.    Miscellaneous.
11.1    Miscellaneous; Waivers and Amendments. Upon the approval of each Purchaser, the Company may amend or modify in any manner any term or provision of this Agreement or the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchasers and the Company; provided

28



that upon the approval of each Purchaser, as to such Purchaser, the obligations of the Company and the rights of such Purchaser under this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Purchaser to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any Transaction Document unless the same consideration is also offered to all Purchasers who then hold Common Shares (or are then entitled to purchase Common Shares under this Agreement).
11.2    Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be (i) hand delivered, (ii) mailed postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, (iii) sent by nationally recognized courier service, or (iv) transmitted by confirmed facsimile or other electronic transmission; provided that such facsimile or other electronic transmission be followed by notice via another method permitted hereby.
(a)    If to a Purchaser, solely to the person or department listed in the address of such Purchaser set forth under such Purchaser’s name on Schedule 1 hereto (or the address of such Purchaser or designee as such Purchaser shall designate in writing from time to time), with a copy to (which shall not constitute notice) the address listed under the address of such Purchaser on Schedule 1 hereto, as applicable.
or
(b)    If to the Company, addressed to the attention of its Chief Financial Officer at the most recent address listed on the cover page of its most recent filing with the SEC, with a copy to (which shall not constitute notice):

Attention: Gregory A. Fernicola, Esq.
Facsimile No.: (212) 735-2000
or at such other address as the Company, any Purchaser’s Representative or any Purchaser may specify by written notice to each other, and each such notice, request, consent and other communication shall for all purposes of the Agreement be treated as being effective or having been given when delivered if delivered personally, if sent by mail, at the earlier of its receipt or seventy-two (72) hours after the same has been deposited in a regularly maintained receptacle for the deposit of United States mail, addressed and postage prepaid as aforesaid, on the next Business Day if sent by overnight courier service or upon receipt of facsimile or other electronic confirmation if transmitted during regular business hours of the recipient and, if not, on the next Business Day.
11.3    Waiver of Defaults Under Second Lien Credit Agreement. The undersigned Purchasers that hold 100% of the outstanding Second Lien Indebtedness hereby waive all defaults, if any, under the Second Lien Credit Agreement arising out of the transactions

29



contemplated hereby, including the use of the proceeds of this offering and the Second Lien Credit Agreement shall terminate upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
11.4    No Implied Waivers. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.
11.5    Successors and Assigns. All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the respective parties hereto, the successors and assigns of each Purchaser and the successors of the Company, whether so expressed or not. The Company may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchasers. A Purchaser may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Purchaser hereunder with respect to such assigned rights. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not inure to the benefit of, or be enforceable by, any other Person.
11.6    Headings. The headings and other captions in this Agreement are for convenience and reference only and shall not be used in interpreting, construing or enforcing any provision of this Agreement.
11.7    Governing Law. The internal Laws, and not the Laws of conflicts (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York), of New York shall govern the enforceability and validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the parties.
11.8    Fees and Expenses. The Company shall pay the reasonable legal fees and expenses of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, counsel to certain Purchasers, incurred by such Purchasers in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents which shall equal $25,000, which amount shall be paid directly by the Company at the Closing or paid by the Company upon termination of this Agreement so long as such termination did not occur as a result of a material breach by such Purchasers of any of their obligations hereunder (as the case may be). Except as set forth above or elsewhere in the Transaction Documents, the parties hereto shall be responsible for the payment of all expenses incurred by them in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Transactions.
11.9    Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
11.10    Exclusive Jurisdiction. Any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or

30



the Transactions may be brought in any federal or state court located in the County and State of New York, and each of the parties hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 11.2 hereof shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.
11.11    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
11.12    Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format) and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same document. All such counterparts shall be deemed an original, shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto.
11.13    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and replace all other prior agreements, written or oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall affect any existing confidentiality agreement with a Purchaser, which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
11.14    Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority 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 so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
11.15    Independent Nature of Purchasers. The obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Common Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties,

31



liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser and any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statement or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser (other than the Purchaser’s Representative, if any) has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Purchaser (other than the Purchaser’s Representative, if any) will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Common Shares or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights arising out of the Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
11.16    Taxes and Filings. The Company shall pay all original issuance, transfer, stamp and other similar taxes payable in respect of the issuance of the Common Shares; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any Common Shares in a name other than that of a Purchaser, and the Company shall have no obligation to make any such issuance or delivery unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been or will be paid. The Company shall make all appropriate filings required to be made under the laws of the State of Delaware and any other jurisdiction with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
11.17    Survival. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all agreements, covenants, representations and warranties of the Company herein or of (or on behalf of) the Company in any certificates or other instruments delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall: (i) be deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by the Purchasers, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchasers or on behalf of any one or more Purchasers, and (ii) not be limited or otherwise affected by any disposition of any Common Shares and survive the Closing; provided, however, that the representations and warranties of the Company shall expire 12 months following the Closing Date after which date, none of such representations and warranties shall survive; provided further, however, that the representations and warranties in Sections 6.1 (Company Status), 6.2 (Power and Authority), 6.3 (No Violation), 6.4 (Approvals) and 6.13 (Capitalization) shall survive indefinitely.
11.18    Remedies Cumulative, etc. No remedy herein conferred upon the Purchasers is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every such remedy shall

32



be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. No course of dealing between the Company and the Purchasers or any subsequent holder of Common Shares and no delay or failure in exercising any rights hereunder in respect thereof shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any of the rights or the rights of the Purchasers or holders of Common Shares. In addition to any and all other remedies that may be available at law in the event of any breach of this Agreement, each Purchaser and each subsequent holder of Common Shares shall be entitled to specific performance of the agreements and obligations of the Company hereunder and to such other injunctive or other equitable relief as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.
11.19    No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, their permitted successors and assigns, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
11.20    Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as described in Section 8.2 hereof, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Nothing in this Agreement shall effect any existing confidentiality agreement.
11.21    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the sale and purchase of the Common Shares abandoned at any time prior to the Closing by either the Company or, with respect to any Purchaser, by the Purchaser’s Representative(s) or, in the case of a Purchaser without a Purchaser’s Representative, the Purchaser upon written notice to the other, if the Closing has not been consummated on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the thirtieth day following the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.21 shall not be available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time. Nothing in this Section 11.21 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section, the Company shall promptly notify all non-terminating Purchasers. Upon a termination in accordance with this Section, the Company and the terminating Purchaser(s) shall not have any further obligation or liability (including arising from such termination) to the other, and no Purchaser will have any liability to any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents as a result therefrom.

Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Agreement, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Registrable Securityholders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the initial Registration Statement and file a new Registration Statement, in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on such form available to the Company to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or new Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Securities Act Rules’ Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09. In the event the Company amends the initial Registration Statement or files a new Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the



Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on such form available to the Company to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the initial Registration Statement, as amended, or the new Registration Statement. No Registrable Securityholder shall be named as an “underwriter” in any Registration Statement without such Registrable Securityholder’s prior written consent.
Section 2.2    The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause each Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after the date of such filing and in any event no later than the Effectiveness Deadline. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the first Business Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final prospectus with the Commission, as required by Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.
Section 2.3    If: (i) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the Commission (or otherwise does not become effective) for any reason on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, (ii) after its effective date, (A) such Registration Statement ceases for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a stop order, or the Company’s failure to update the Registration Statement), to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for which it is required to be effective or (B) the Holders are not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, in the case of (A) and (B) (other than during an Allowable Blackout Period (as defined in Section 3.5 of this Agreement)), (iii) a Blackout Period (as defined in Section 3.5 of this Agreement) exceeds the length or number, in each case individually or in the aggregate, of an Allowable Blackout Period, or (iv) after the date nine months following the Closing Date, and only in the event a Registration Statement is not available to sell all Registrable Securities, the Company fails to file with the Commission any required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act such that it is not in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) or Rule 144(i)(2) as a result of which the Registrable Securityholders who are not affiliates are unable to sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (or any successor thereto) (any such failure or breach in clauses (i) through (iv) above being referred to as an “Event,” and, for purposes of clauses (i), (ii) or (iv), the date on which such Event occurs and for purposes of clause (iii) the date on which such Allowable Blackout Period is exceeded, being referred to as an “Event Date”), then in addition to any other rights the Registrable Securityholders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Registrable Securityholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any Registrable Securities held by such Registrable Securityholder on the Event Date. The parties agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no liquidated damages shall be payable (i) if as of the relevant Event Date, the Registrable Securities may be sold by non-affiliates without volume or manner of sale restrictions under Rule 144 and the Company was in compliance with the current public information requirements under Rule 144 (including under Rule 144(c)(1) and Rule 144(i)(2)), as determined by counsel to the Company (which may be in-house counsel) pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and reasonably acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and (ii) with respect to any period after the expiration of the



Effectiveness Period), and in no event shall the aggregate amount of liquidated damages payable to a Registrable Securityholder exceed, in the aggregate, twelve percent (12%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Registrable Securityholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 2.3 in full within five (5) Business Days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 1.0% per month (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Registrable Securityholder, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event, except in the case of the first Event Date. The Effectiveness Deadline for a Registration Statement shall be extended without default or liquidated damages hereunder in the event that the Company’s failure to obtain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on a timely basis results from the failure of any Person to timely provide the Company with information requested by the Company and necessary to complete the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act (in which case the Effectiveness Deadline would be extended with respect to Registrable Securities; provided, that if the failure to provide such information is attributable to a Registrable Securityholder, such extension shall only apply to Registrable Securities held by such Registrable Securityholder).
ARTICLE III
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
Section 3.1    Filings; Information. In no way limiting Section 2.3, the Company may postpone the filing of the Registration Statement if, based on the good faith judgment of the Board, such postponement is necessary in order to avoid premature disclosure of a matter the Board has determined would not be in the best interest of the Company to be disclosed at such time. The Company shall provide written notice to the Registrable Securityholders of any postponement of the filing of the Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 3.1. The Company may defer the filing of the Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 3.1 on one occasion only and for not more than 30 days.
Section 3.2    Copies. The Company shall, at least three (3) Business Days prior to filing the Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to such Registrable Securityholder, and, if requested in writing by any Registrable Securityholder, such holders’ legal counsel, copies of the Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to the Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in the Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and, subject to prior receipt by the Company from a Registrable Securityholder of any confidentiality agreement as the Company may reasonably request, such other documents as any Registrable Securityholder or legal counsel for any Registrable Securityholder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Registrable Securityholder. Each Registrable Securityholder shall have the opportunity to review and comment on the Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto. The Company shall make available to the Registrable Securityholders each letter written by or on



behalf of the Company to the Commission or the staff of the Commission (or other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction, including any domestic or foreign securities exchange), and each item of correspondence from the Commission or the staff of the Commission (or other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction, including any domestic or foreign securities exchange), in each case relating to the Registration Statement.
Section 3.3    Effectiveness Period. After the Registration Statement has become effective, and subject to any Blackout Periods, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold without volume or manner of sale restrictions under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirements under Rule 144 (including under Rule 144(c)(1) and Rule 144(i)(2)), as determined by counsel to the Company (which may be in-house counsel) pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and reasonably acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent, or (ii) such time as all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement have been publicly sold either pursuant to the Registration Statement in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth therein or pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act for the Effectiveness Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Effectiveness Period shall include any period during which any Registrable Securities cease to be saleable under Rule 144 by virtue of the Company’s failure to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 (including under Rule 144(c)(1) and Rule 144(i)(2)) or subject to any volume limitations on sale thereunder, and in the event the Company is not able to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement following the occurrence of such failure or imposition of any volume limitation, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as possible following such occurrence and in any event no later than sixty (60) days thereafter, a new Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities, and shall otherwise comply with all of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to such new Registration Statement.
Section 3.4    Notification. After the filing of the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall immediately notify the Registrable Securityholders of such filing, and shall further notify the Registrable Securityholders immediately and confirm such advice in writing in all events within one (1) Business Day of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when the Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the Commission for (x) any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or (y) a Suspension Notice. Within a reasonable time (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days) after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the Commission, the Company shall deliver, or shall use reasonable efforts to cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer



agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Registrable Securityholders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject to modification as may be required by such transfer agent.
Section 3.5    Blackout Periods. Upon the happening of any event as a result of which (i) the prospectus included in the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) the Company files a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly notify the Registrable Securityholders (such notice, a “Suspension Notice”) and each Registrable Securityholder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement for a reasonable length of time not to exceed 15 days (or not more than 60 days in the case of clause (ii) if the Commission has informed the Company that it intends to review the post-effective amendment) until such Registrable Securityholder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed (or the post-effective amendment has been declared effective, as applicable) and is furnished with a supplemented or amended prospectus (a “Blackout Period”); provided, however, that such postponement of sales of Registrable Securities by the Registrable Securityholders shall not exceed forty-five (45) days (or 60 days in the case of an event referenced in clause (ii) if the Commission has informed the Company that it intends to review the post-effective amendment) in the aggregate in any 12-month period. In any event, the Company shall not be entitled to deliver more than a total of three (3) Suspension Notices in any 12-month period. A Blackout Period that does not violate any of the restrictions on Blackout Periods set forth herein is referred to in this Agreement as an “Allowable Blackout Period.” In no event shall any such notice under this Section 3.5 contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Section 3.6    Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Registrable Securityholders included in the Registration Statement may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Registrable Securityholders to consummate, and the Company shall not knowingly take any action that would otherwise restrict, the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction. The Company represents and warrants that no Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and Prospectuses contained therein) shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (except that the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of a Registrable Securityholder, any other security holder or any underwriters specifically for use therein).



Section 3.7    Records. The Company shall make available for inspection by the Registrable Securityholders and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any Registrable Securityholder, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any of them in connection with the Registration Statement, subject to prior receipt by the Company of any confidentiality agreements as the Company may reasonably request from the Registrable Securityholders and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any of the Registrable Securityholders, as applicable.
Section 3.8    Earnings Statement. The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the Securities Act, and make available to its stockholders, not later than March 31 of the calendar year following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (provided that if the Registration Statement is declared effective prior to March 31, 2012, such obligation shall relate to March 31, 2012) an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.
Section 3.9    Confidentiality. The Company will hold in confidence and will not make any disclosure of non-public information concerning any Registrable Securityholder unless (i) disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, rules, statutes or regulations, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement or other public filing by the Company, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction or is otherwise required by applicable law or legal process, or (iv) such Registrable Securityholder consents to the form and content of any such disclosure.
Section 3.10    Free Writing Prospectuses. Each of the Registrable Securityholders shall not, and shall not permit any officer, manager, broker or any other person acting on behalf of such Registrable Securityholder to use any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in connection with the Registration Statement, without the prior written consent of the Company.
Section 3.11    Obligation to Suspend Distribution. Upon receipt of any Suspension Notice from the Company, each Registrable Securityholder shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement for a reasonable period of time as set forth in Section 3.5 until such Registrable Securityholder receives notice that the supplemented or amended prospectus has been filed and, if so directed by the Company, each Registrable Securityholder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.
Section 3.12    Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Registration Statement, and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation: (i) all registration, qualification and filing fees; (ii) fees and expenses of compliance



with securities or “blue sky” laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing expenses (including expenses of printing stock certificates and prospectuses); (iv) the Company's internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees); (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities, if any; (vi) Financial Industry Regulatory Authority fees; (vii) the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such Registration; (viii) transfer agent's and registrar's fees, (ix) cost of distributing Prospectuses in preliminary and final form as well as any supplements, thereto, (x) messenger, word processing, duplicating, telephone and delivery expenses incurred by the Company, and (xi) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company purchases such insurance. The Company shall have no obligation to pay any selling commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the holders thereof, which selling commissions shall be borne by such holders.
Section 3.13    Information. Each of the Registrable Securityholders shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested (based on the advice of counsel) by the Company, in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Registrable Securityholder of the information the Company requires from such holder if such holder elects to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. The Company's obligations under Article II hereof to file the Registration Statement and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective and to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the Effectiveness Period, with respect to each Registrable Securityholder, are conditioned on the receipt of such information and to the extent any Registrable Securityholder has failed to provide the Company with such information, the Company's obligations with respect to such Registrable Securityholder (but not with respect to any other Registrable Securityholder) will be suspended (but not otherwise diminished) until such requested information has been provided to the Company.
Section 3.14    Allocation of Registrable Securities. The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities, or increase thereof, is declared effective by the Commission. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor's Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor.
Section 3.15    Required Underwriter. If any Registrable Securityholder is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter and provided such Registrable Securityholder has not breached its representation in Section 5.4 of the Purchase Agreement, at the reasonable request of such Registrable Securityholder, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to furnish to such Registrable Securityholder, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as such Registrable Securityholder may reasonably request (i) a letter,



dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering of securities such as the Common Shares, addressed to such Registrable Securityholder, and (ii) an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company, including in-house counsel to the Company (as to matters typically opined on by in-house counsel), for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering of securities such as the Common Shares, addressed to such Registrable Securityholder.
ARTICLE IV
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
Section 4.1    Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law each Registrable Securityholder, each of such Registrable Securityholder’s respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls a Registrable Securityholder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, a “Registrable Securityholder Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages, liabilities or actions, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable federal, state, “blue sky” or common law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with the Registration Statement. The Company shall promptly reimburse the Registrable Securityholder Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Registrable Securityholder Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to any Registrable Securityholder Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such Registrable Securityholder Indemnified Party expressly for use therein.
Section 4.2    Indemnification by the Registrable Securityholders. Each selling Registrable Securityholder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each other selling holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, judgments, claims, damages, liabilities or actions, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses,



judgments, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each other selling holder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each selling holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
Section 4.3    Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person of any notice of any loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other Person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other Person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.



Section 4.4    Contribution.
(a)    If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the Company (including, for this purpose, any contribution made by or on behalf of any officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and any controlling person of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act) and each Registrable Securityholder whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement (including, for this purpose, any contribution made by or on behalf of such Registrable Securityholder), shall contribute to the loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the Registrable Securityholders in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or such Registrable Securityholder and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(b)    The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined on a pro rata basis or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 4.4(a).
(c)    The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in Section 4.4(a) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4(c), no Registrable Securityholder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the dollar amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities that gave rise to such contribution obligation exceeds the amount of any damages that such Registrable Securityholder has otherwise been required to pay under Section 4.2 by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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. This Section 4.4 is intended to supersede any right to contribution under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise.
ARTICLE V
RULE 144 REPORTING
Section 5.1    Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such



further action as the Registrable Securityholders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. The foregoing shall in no way reduce the rights of Registrable Securityholders hereunder. The Company agrees at its cost and expense to use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) make and keep available current public information about the Company in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and Rule 144(i)(2) under the Securities Act; (ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents the Company may be required to file under the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish to each Registrable Securityholder, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE VI
TERMINATION; MERGERS AND RECAPITALIZATIONS
Section 6.1    Termination. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Registrable Securityholder (but not with respect to any other Registrable Securityholder) on the date on which such Registrable Securityholder no longer owns any Registrable Securities. This Agreement will terminate on the date on which there are no Registrable Securities outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing,(i) the provisions of Section 2.3 (with respect to any accrued obligation to pay liquidated damages thereunder, as well as any interest thereon) and Article IV shall survive any termination of this Agreement and (ii) to the extent any shares of Common Stock that have ceased to be Registrable Securities once again become Registrable Securities in accordance with the proviso at the end of the definition of “Registrable Securities,” then this Agreement shall be revived and once again effective.
Section 6.2    Mergers and Recapitalizations.
(a)    The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, effect a change of control or reorganization event of the Company in which the Company shall not be the surviving entity unless the proposed surviving entity shall, prior to effecting a change of control or reorganization event of the Company, agree in writing to assume the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, and for that purpose references hereunder to “Registrable Securities” shall be deemed to be references to the securities that the Registrable Securityholders would be entitled to receive in exchange for Registrable Securities under the terms of any such agreement to effect a change of control or reorganization event of the Company; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.2 shall not apply in the event of any merger, consolidation, or reorganization in which the Company is not the surviving corporation if all the Registrable Securityholders are entitled to receive in exchange for their Registrable Securities consideration consisting solely of (A) cash, (B) securities of the acquiring corporation that may be immediately sold to the public without registration under the Securities Act, or (C) a combination of the consideration described in both clauses (A) and (B).



(b)    If, and as often as, there is any change in the Common Stock by way of a stock split, combination, stock dividend, reclassification, or the like, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof so that the rights and privileges granted hereby to the Registrable Securityholders with respect to the Registrable Securities shall not be diminished or adversely affected.
(c)    If requested by the Registrable Securityholders, the proposed surviving entity to any change of control or reorganization event of the Company (if other than the Company) pursuant to Section 6.2(a) above shall further evidence such surviving entity’s obligations under this Section 6.2 by executing and delivering to the Registrable Securityholders a written agreement to such effect in form and substance satisfactory to the Registrable Securityholders.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1    Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part.
