At the Closing, against payment of the Purchase Price by the Buyer, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer the Notes, duly executed by the Company.

(i) Maturity . Unless converted as provided in Section 5 , the Notes will automatically mature and be due and payable on January 7, 2021 (the “ Maturity Date ”).

Interest shall be computed based on a 360-day year composed of 12 30-day months. Should the Company fail to pay any amount on the due date for payment thereof, whether by acceleration, prepayment, or otherwise, and in addition to any other amount or fees which may become payable hereunder or under the Notes, the Company shall pay default interest ( “Default Interest” ) on such sum from the due date up to the date of actual payment to and receipt by the Holder at an annual Default Interest rate equal to two percent (2%) above the Base Coupon (the “Default Interest Rate” ).

For purposes of the Notes, “ Senior Indebtedness ” shall mean the principal and all unpaid interest, fees, expenses, letters of credit and reimbursement obligations, charges and other unpaid sums owed on, under, or in connection with (1) that certain Credit Agreement dated as of August 19, 2013 by and among the Company, together with its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries, and Comerica Bank, as Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders, as it may be amended, restated, extended, renewed, replaced, increased or otherwise modified from time to time, (2) any other indebtedness or obligations which are incurred the date hereof by the Company (directly or indirectly) in replacement or refinancing of any Senior Indebtedness from time to time (whether or not with the same lender(s)) or (3) any other indebtedness of the Company that is explicitly intended to be senior to the Notes, whether incurred on or after the date thereof. In the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the distribution of any of the assets of the Company or any successor on account of any liquidation, bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar proceeding (each, a “ Proceeding ”), the Holder shall not be entitled to any payment or distribution pursuant to the Notes or such Proceeding until all Senior Indebtedness has been satisfied in full in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company is permitted to make, and the Holder is permitted to accept, regularly scheduled payments of principal

12

(including payment of all outstanding principal on the Maturity Date) and interest as well as fees, costs, and expenses due and payable hereunder unless (a) any holder of the Senior Indebtedness (or an authorized representative) has notified the Company in writing that a default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Senior Indebtedness, or (b) a Proceeding shall have commenced and be continuing with respect to the Company.

(ii) The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes (whether consisting of principal, interest, expenses or other sums, all as now exists or may, after the date of the Notes, be incurred, renewed, extended, or amended) shall be pari passu in right of payment with that certain Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note, dated as of December 19, 2014, between the Company and Terex Corporation.

(iii) Until the earliest of (i) acceleration or payment in full of the Senior Indebtedness, (ii) the commencement of any Proceeding against the Company or its assets, (iii) 150 days after receipt by the holder of the Senior Indebtedness of written notice from the Holder to the holder of the Senior Indebtedness of the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, and (iv) the Maturity Date, in each case, the Holder will not take or initiate any judicial proceeding or other action against the Company to collect the Note or to seek monetary damages in respect of any failure to pay all or any portion of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes.

(iv) This is a continuing agreement of subordination and each holder of Senior Indebtedness may continue, without notice to the Holder, to extend credit or other accommodation or benefit and loan moneys to or for the account of the Company. It is further understood and agreed that each holder of Senior Indebtedness may at any time, in its sole discretion, (i) renew or extend the time of payment of all or any existing or future Senior Indebtedness, (ii) waive or release any collateral or guaranty which may be held therefor at any time, and, in reference thereto, make and enter into any such agreement or agreements with the Company, (iii) amend, modify, supplement, restate, consolidate, waive, renew, extend, replace, increase the principal amount or otherwise change any of the terms of any of the agreements, instruments or documents governing, evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to any Senior Indebtedness, and (iv) take or omit from taking any action with respect to any default of any Senior Indebtedness, as the holder of that Senior Indebtedness, in each case, may deem desirable without notice to or further assent from the Holder and without in each case or any manner impairing or affecting the Note or the rights of any of any holder of any Senior Indebtedness hereunder. Each holder of Senior Indebtedness will be entitled to the benefits of, and may directly enforce, the subordination provisions of the Notes.

(v) The provisions of this Section 2(b) are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Notes on the one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Section 2(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Notes is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights under this Section 2(b) of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, is intended to rank equally with all other general obligations of the Company), to pay to the Holders of the Notes the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the

13

Company of the Holders of the Notes and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent the Holder of any Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Agreement, subject to the rights, if any, under this Section 2(b) of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to such Holder.

(vi) Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness or the provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Notes shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(b) (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Notes are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Notes would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 2(b) , and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(b) to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Notes, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Notes, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.

(vii) For the purposes of this Section 2(b) only, (1) the issuance and delivery of Junior Securities upon conversion of Notes in accordance with Section 5 shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of or premium or interest on Notes or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Notes, (2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash, property or securities (other than Junior Securities) upon conversion of a Note shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of such Note, and (3) the non-cash accrual of interest on the principal balance of the Notes or payment in kind of interest on the Notes shall not be prohibited under any circumstance. For the purposes of this Section 2(b) , the term “ Junior Securities ” means (a) shares of any stock of any class of the Company and (b) securities of the Company which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness which may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Notes are so subordinated as provided in this Section 2(b) . Nothing contained in this Section 2(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Notes is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Notes, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any Note to convert such Note in accordance with Section 5 .

(viii) Should any payment, distribution (in a Proceeding or otherwise) or other amount be received by the Holder upon or in respect to the Notes in contravention of the provisions hereof, the Holder will promptly pay what it has received over, and deliver it, to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and, until it is so delivered, the Holder will hold the cash or other assets it has received in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness. Any

14

taxes that have been withheld or deducted from any payment or distribution in respect of the Notes, or any taxes that ought to have been withheld or deducted from any such payment or distribution that have been remitted to the relevant taxing authority, shall not be considered to be an amount that the Holder of any Note receives for purposes of this Section 2(b) .

(ix) For purposes of this Section 2(b) , the words “payment,” “distribution” or “other amount” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation or other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Notes are so subordinated as provided in this Section 2(b) . The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another person or entity or the conveyance, transfer or lease of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another person or entity upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 11(l) or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following any such conveyance, transfer or lease, shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company for the purposes of this Section 2(b) if the person or entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the person or entity which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease such properties and assets substantially as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions set forth in Section 11(l) .

(xi) Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any of the Notes shall affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, at any time except during the pendency of any case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company referred to in Section 2(b)(i) , payments of principal of, (premium, if any) or interest on the Notes.

(xii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a deposit referred to in Section 14(u)(i) is made to a Paying Agent with respect to any Note, then no money so deposited, and no proceeds thereof, will be subject to any rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness, including any such rights arising under this Section 2(b) .

The Company shall pay to the appropriate governmental authority any such Taxes withheld or deducted (or required to be withheld or deducted) before penalties are payable or interest accrues thereon, and if any such penalties are payable or any such interest accrues, the Company shall also make payment thereof when due to the appropriate governmental authority. Within thirty (30) days after each such payment of Taxes, penalties, or interest, the Company shall deliver to the relevant Holders of Notes a receipt evidencing such payment.

16

under the Code to establish that such Holder is not subject to deduction or withholding of U.S. federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Holder of interest under any of the Transaction Documents, or (ii) if such Holder is not a “bank” or other person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Code, a “ Certificate re Non-Bank Status ” together with two original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Holder, and/or such other documentation required under the Code to establish that such Holder of Notes is not subject to deduction or withholding of U.S. federal income tax with respect to any payments of interest to such Holder. Each Holder of Notes that is a U.S. person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “ U.S. Holder ”) shall deliver to the Company on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Holder becomes a party to this Agreement) two original copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Holder, certifying that such U.S. Holder is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax.

3. REGISTER AND TRANSFER OF NOTES .

(a) Register of Notes . The Company, or an agent on its behalf, shall keep and maintain at its principal executive office a register on which it will record the Holders of the Notes from time to time, which shall be conclusive evidence of the ownership of the Notes (the “ Register ”). The name and address of each Holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be provided by such Holder transferring such Note or Notes to the Company and registered in such Register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, and registration and execution of such transfer, the person in whose name any Note is registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall give to any Holder of a Note, promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered Holders of Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the registration requirements in Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c), so that the Notes are considered to be issued in “registered form” pursuant to such Treasury Regulations, and all parties hereto shall construe the provisions of this Agreement to ensure that the Notes will be considered to have been so issued.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Notes . Upon surrender of any Note to the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer, for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered Holder of such Note or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company shall (i) register such transfer in the Register and (ii) execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the Holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate Principal Amount equal to the unpaid Principal Amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes.

17

(c) Replacement Notes . If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Company or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Company within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Company in good faith does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Company prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “ Protected Purchaser ”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Company. If required by the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company to protect the Company and each paying agent appointed by the Company and not affiliated with the Company to hold funds in trust to make payments when due to the Holders of amounts due and owing under the Notes as required hereunder (each a “ Paying Agent ”) from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Note). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof. Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 3(c) are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

(d) Outstanding Notes . Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes executed and delivered to Holders by the Company, except for those canceled by the Company and those delivered to the Company for cancellation. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or a person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or common control with such specified person (an “ Affiliate ”) of the Company holds the Note. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 3(c) (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Company receives proof satisfactory to the Company that the replaced Note is held by a Protected Purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 3(c) . If a Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Agreement, on a Redemption Date or Maturity Date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

(iv) The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state: (A) the portion of the Principal Amount of the Note which the Holder will deliver to be purchased and (B) that such Note shall be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Notes and in this Agreement.

(v) The delivery of a Note for which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been timely delivered to any Paying Agent and not validly withdrawn prior to, on or after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of such Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.

(vi) The Company shall only be obliged to purchase, pursuant to this Section 4(b)(iii) , a portion of a Note if the Principal Amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

5. CONVERSION OF THE NOTES .

(a) Conversion Privilege and Conversion Rate .

(i) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5 , each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note (i) subject to satisfaction of one or more of the conditions described in Section 5(a)(i)(1) , (2) , (3) , or (4) , at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 6, 2020 under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in Section 5(a)(i)(1) , (2) , (3) , or (4) , and (ii) on or after July 6, 2020 until the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at the Conversion Rate, subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 5 , and the settlement provisions of Section 5(c) , the “ Conversion Obligation ”.

20

(1) If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 6, 2020, the Company elects to:

(A) distribute to all or substantially all Shareholders any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days from the declaration date for such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Quoted Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution; or

(B) distribute to all or substantially all Shareholders the Company’s assets, debt securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be evidenced by a certificate delivered to each Holder that shall be signed by two officers of the Company, including at least one of the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer), exceeding 10% of the Quoted Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution,

then, in either case, the Company shall notify all Holders of the Notes at least 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the “ex” date for such issuance or distribution, in accordance with Section 14(f) . Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of:

1. the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the “ex” date for such issuance or distribution; and

2. the Company’s declaration that such issuance or distribution will not take place.

(2) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 6, 2020, if:

(A) a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change occurs; or

(B) a transaction or event that constitutes a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs; or

(C) if the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, combination, statutory or binding share exchange or similar transaction involving the Company, pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, cash, securities or other property or assets, or any sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer or similar transaction in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,

21

the Notes may be surrendered by a Holder for conversion at any time from or after the date that is 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction (or, if later, the Business Day after the Company gives notice of such transaction) until the close of business on the 35th Trading Day after the actual effective date of such transaction or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company shall notify Holders as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction; provided that the Company shall deliver such notice in no event later than the actual effective date.

(3) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 6, 2020, a Holder may surrender its Notes for conversion during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2015 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Quoted Prices of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the Conversion Price on each applicable Trading Day. The Company shall determine at the beginning of each calendar quarter commencing after March 31, 2015 whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with this Section 5(a)(i)(3) and shall notify the Holders if the Notes become convertible in accordance with this Section 5(a)(i)(3) , within five Business Days of the Notes so becoming convertible, in accordance with Section 14(f) .

(4) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 6, 2020, a Holder of Notes may surrender its Notes for conversion during the five Business Day period immediately after any five consecutive Trading Day period (the “ Measurement Period ”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with this Section 5(a)(i)(4) , for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Quoted Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate on such Trading Day, subject to compliance with the procedures and conditions described in this Section 5(a)(i)(4) . The Company shall provide written notice to the Solicitation Bid Agent of the three independent nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company pursuant to the definition of Trading Price, along with appropriate contact information for each. The Solicitation Bid Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes unless the Company has requested such determination, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request (or, if the Company is acting as Solicitation Bid Agent, the Company shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price) unless a Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Quoted Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. At such time, the Company shall instruct the Solicitation Bid Agent to (or, if the Company is acting as Solicitation Bid Agent, the Company shall) determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Quoted Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. If the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met on any Trading Day, the Company

22

shall so notify the Holders in writing on such Trading Day, in accordance with Section 14(f) . If, at any time after the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Quoted Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate for such Trading Day, the Company shall promptly so notify the Holders of the Notes, in accordance with Section 14(f) . If the Company does not, when it is required to, instruct the Solicitation Bid Agent to (or, if the Company is acting as Solicitation Bid Agent, the Company does not) obtain bids, or if the Company instructs the Solicitation Bid Agent to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes when obligated as provided in the preceding sentence and the Solicitation Bid Agent fails to make such determination, then, in either case, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Quoted Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on each Trading Day of such failure.

(ii) Provisions of this Agreement that apply to conversion of all of a Note also apply to conversion of a portion of a Note.

(iii) A Holder of Notes is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until such Holder has converted its Notes into Common Stock.

(iv) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 5(a)(v) and Section 5(g) hereof.

(v) If prior to the Maturity Date there shall have occurred a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, then, with respect to Holders of Notes who convert their Notes such that the Conversion Date therefor is during the period beginning on the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and ending at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change other than a Fundamental Change, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Conversion Rate shall be increased for such Notes by an amount of additional shares of Common Stock (“ Additional Shares ”) as specified below, with the related Conversion Obligation to be satisfied by Stock Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement in accordance with Section 5(c) based on the Conversion Rate as increased to reflect the Additional Shares. With respect to any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the number of Additional Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes by which the Conversion Rate shall be so increased on any date on or after the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by reference to the table attached hereto as Annex II , as in effect at the close of business on such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date, based on the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and the price (as specified below, the “ Stock Price ”) paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of Common Stock in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change; provided, however , that if the Stock Price or Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date are not set forth on the table: (i) if the actual Stock Price is between two Stock Prices on the table or the actual Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates on the table, the Additional Shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Make-

23

Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates on the table based on a 365-day year, as applicable, (ii) if the Stock Price on the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date exceeds $60.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no Additional Shares will be delivered, and (iii) if the Stock Price is less than $11.11 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no Additional Shares will be delivered. If Holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the “Stock Price” shall be the cash amount paid per share of the Common Stock in connection with the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. Otherwise, the “Stock Price” shall be equal to the average Quoted Prices of the Common Stock for each of the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding, but not including, the applicable Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date ; provided, however , that if the “ex” date for any other event (other than the Make-Whole Fundamental Change) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5(g)(i)(1) , (2) , (3) , (4) , (5) , or (6)  occurs on or after the 10th Trading Day prior to, and on or prior to, the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date, the Quoted Price for each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Quoted Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 5(g)(i)(1) , (2) , (3) , (4) , (5) , or (6)  as a result of such other event.

The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table attached hereto as Annex II and specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding paragraph will be adjusted as of the “ex” date for any event in respect of which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted as set forth in Section 5(g). The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment to the Conversion Rate giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table attached hereto as Annex II will be adjusted as of the time at which, and in the same manner as, the Conversion Rate is adjusted as set forth in Section 5(g). If the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 5(g) at any time after the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date for any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, then, with respect to any date on or after the time at which such adjustment is effective, the number of Additional Shares with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased on such date (as determined as specified above) shall be adjusted in same manner as the Conversion Rate is so adjusted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note exceed 90.00 per $1,000 principal amount, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5(g) .

No later than five Business Days after the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date with respect to any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall deliver notice to each Holder, which notice will state that a Make-Whole Fundamental Change has occurred and the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date thereof and specify the Additional Shares per $1,000 principal amount of any Note.

Nothing in this Section 5(a)(v) shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5(g) in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

24

(b) Conversion Procedure .

(i) To convert a Note, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice on the back of the Note (the “ Conversion Notice ”) and deliver such notice to the Company and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock and any cash to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be delivered and registered or paid, as applicable, (2) surrender the Note to the Company, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if reasonably required by the Company, and (4) pay all transfer or similar taxes, if required pursuant to Section 5(e) . The date on which the Holder of a Note satisfies all of those requirements (or, if such date is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day) is the “ Conversion Date ” with respect to such Note, and any conversion of a Note will be deemed to occur at the close of business on the Conversion Date applicable to such Note. If, at any time the last date on which any Note may be converted is not a Business Day, such Note may be converted on the immediately following Business Day and, as of such date, such Person’s rights as a Holder of such Note shall cease. Upon the conversion of a Note, the Company will deliver the Settlement Amount and cash in lieu of fractional shares on the requisite delivery and payment dates specified in Section 5(c)(i)(6) .

(ii) The person in whose name certificates for the shares of Common Stock are issuable upon conversion of a Note, in the case of a Stock Settlement or a Combination Settlement, in accordance with Section 5(c)(i)(4) shall be deemed to be a holder of record of such Common Stock on the close of business on the Conversion Date (in the case of Stock Settlement) or the Settlement Date (in the case of Combination Settlement) with respect to such converted Note, except as otherwise provided in Section 5(g)(ii) ; provided, however, that if the Settlement Date with respect to any converted Note would otherwise be on a date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, then the person in whose name such certificates are so issuable shall be the holder of record of such Common Stock at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open. Upon conversion of a Note, such person shall no longer be a Holder of such Note; provided , however , that the converting Holder shall have the right to receive the Settlement Amount due upon conversion.

(iii) If a Holder converts more than one Note at the same time, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion (and the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 5(d) hereof) shall be based on the aggregate principal amount of all Notes so converted.

(iv) In the case of any Note which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder thereof, without service charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Note. A Note may be converted in part, but only if the principal amount of such part is an integral multiple of $1,000 and the principal amount of such Note to remain outstanding after such conversion is equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

25

(v) No Holder may surrender Notes for conversion if such Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 4(b)(vii) .

(c) Settlement of Conversion Obligation . The provisions of this Section 5(c) shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 5(c) , 5(g) , and 5(k) .

(i) Upon conversion of any Note, the Company may choose to satisfy its Conversion Obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, to converting Holders, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, either (1) solely cash (“ Cash Settlement ”), (2) shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 5(d) (“ Stock Settlement ”) or (3) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, with a particular Specified Dollar Amount, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional shares (“ Combination Settlement ” and each of Cash Settlement, Stock Settlement, and Combination Settlement, a “ Settlement Method ”), as set forth in this Section 5(c) .

(1) All conversions with a Conversion Date on or after the Final Settlement Method Election Date shall be settled using the same Settlement Method. If the Company has not delivered to all Holders a written notice of its election of a Settlement Method on or prior to the Final Settlement Method Election Date, the Company shall, with respect to any conversions on or after the Final Settlement Method Election Date, be deemed to have elected to satisfy its conversion obligation using Combination Settlement with a Specified Dollar Amount of $1,000, unless the Company has previously irrevocably elected another Settlement Method or Combination Settlement with a different Specified Dollar Amount as described in Section 5(c)(i)(3) .

(2) For all conversions prior to the Final Settlement Method Election Date, the Company shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions occurring on any given Conversion Date. Except for any conversions that occur on or after the Final Settlement Method Election Date, or following any Irrevocable Election as described in Section 5(c)(i)(3) , the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions that occur on different Conversion Dates. If the Company elects a particular Settlement Method in connection with any conversion prior to the Final Settlement Method Election Date, unless the Company has previously made an Irrevocable Election pursuant to Section 5(c)(i)(3) , the Company shall inform Holders so converting of the Settlement Method the Company has selected (including the Specified Dollar Amount, if applicable), no later than the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately following the related Conversion Date. If the Company does not timely make such an election, or if the Company elects Combination Settlement in respect of its conversion obligation, but the Company does not timely notify converting Holders of the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the Company shall be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement with a Specified Dollar Amount of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes with respect to such conversion.

26

(3) Prior to the Final Settlement Method Election Date, the Company may, by written notice to Holders, at its option irrevocably elect Stock Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement with a particular Specified Dollar Amount, for all conversions with a Conversion Date subsequent to the Company’s delivery of such notice (any such election, an “ Irrevocable Election ”).

(4) The amount of cash, if any, and the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Company is required to pay or deliver, as the case may be, in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “ Settlement Amount ”) shall be as follows:

(A) if the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligation through Stock Settlement, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted certificates for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares as set forth in Section 5(d) );

(B) if the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligation through Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 15 consecutive Trading Days during the related Determination Period; and

(C) if the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its conversion obligation through Combination Settlement, the Company shall deliver to Holders, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, an amount of cash and certificates for shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 15 consecutive Trading Days during the related Determination Period (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares as set forth in Section 5(d) ).

(5) The “ Daily Settlement Amount ” for each of the 15 consecutive Trading Days of the applicable Determination Period, will consist of:

(A) cash equal to the lesser of (i) a dollar amount per $1,000 principal amount of securities to be received upon conversion as specified by the Company pursuant to Section 5(c)(i)(1) or Section 5(c)(i)(2) , as the case may be (the “ Specified Dollar Amount ”), if any, divided by 15 (such quotient being referred to as the “ Daily Measurement Value ”) and (ii) the Daily Conversion Value; and

(B) certificates for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Daily Share Amount.

(6) The Company shall effect payment or delivery, as the case may be, of the Settlement Amount due upon conversion on or before the date three Business Days after the applicable Settlement Date.

27

(7) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Determination Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and, if applicable, the amount of cash payable in lieu of any fractional share, the Company shall notify the Holders of the Notes of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and, if applicable, the amount of cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock.

(ii) Any cash amounts due upon conversion by a Holder of Notes surrendered for conversion shall be paid by the Company to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, as set forth in the Conversion Notice. In addition, the Company shall issue, or shall cause to be issued, any shares of Common Stock due upon conversion to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, as set forth in the Conversion Notice.

(iii) Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any additional cash payment for accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, and the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for accrued and unpaid Interest. The Company’s settlement of the conversion of a Note pursuant to this Section 5(c) shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal amount of such Note and accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon conversion of a Note into a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, accrued and unpaid Interest shall be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such conversion.

(d) Fractional Shares . The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. In lieu of any fractional shares, the Company will pay an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) such fraction of a share and (ii) the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date (if Stock Settlement) or the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Determination Period (if Combination Settlement).

(e) Taxes On Conversion . If a Holder converts a Note, the Company shall pay any transfer, stamp or similar taxes or duties related to the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon such conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay such tax. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.

28

(f) Company To Provide Stock .

(i) The Company shall (a) reserve, out of its authorized but unissued shares that are not reserved for other purposes, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion and (b) from time to time, take all steps necessary to increase the authorized number of shares of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued would otherwise be insufficient to allow delivery of all the shares of Common Stock then deliverable upon the conversion in full of all Notes (assuming, in the case of clause (a) or (b)  that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder of the Notes and that Physical Settlement is applicable, and including the maximum number of Additional Shares that could be included in the Conversion Rate for a conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change).

(ii) The Company shall cause all shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Notes to be newly issued shares, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from preemptive or similar rights, free of any lien or adverse claim, and free of restrictions on transfer and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein).

(iii) The Company shall comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes and shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic stock exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance). The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock will, at all times that Notes are convertible, be duly approved for listing subject to official notice of issuance on each securities exchange, if any, on which the Common Stock is then listed. The Company covenants that the stock certificates issued to evidence any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes will comply with the Michigan General Corporate Statute and any other applicable law. The Company further covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon conversion (other than solely as a result of the status of the converting Holder as an affiliate of the Company), the Company will secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(g) Adjustment of Conversion Rate .

(i) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(1) If the Company shall pay a dividend or make a distribution to all or substantially all Shareholders in, or otherwise makes or issues a dividend or distribution on any class of its Capital Stock payable in, shares of Common Stock (other than a dividend or distribution upon a Share Exchange Event to which Section 5(k) applies), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Record Date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator of shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business

29

on such Record Date plus the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Record Date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such dividend or distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the date after such Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 5(g)(i)(1) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted as to any Note that has not been converted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(2) If the Company shall subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective shall be, in the case of a subdivision of Common Stock, proportionately increased and, in the case of a combination of Common Stock, proportionately reduced. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such subdivision or combination of the Common Stock occurs and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the date after the date upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(3) If the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all Shareholders entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Record Date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior thereto shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Record Date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock that such rights or warrants entitle holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase (or into which such convertible securities are convertible) and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Record Date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchase, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) would purchase at the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such Record Date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants (or convertible securities) are issued, and shall become effective immediately prior to the open of business on the date after such Record Date. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) are not delivered prior to the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as to any Note that has not been converted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance

30

of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered. If such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted as to any Note that has not been converted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if the Record Date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Shareholders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock and in determining the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be evidenced by a certificate delivered to each Holder that shall be signed by two officers of the Company, at least one of whom shall be the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer.

(4) If the Company shall make a dividend or other distribution to all or substantially all Shareholders of Capital Stock (other than Common Stock) or evidences of indebtedness or other assets of the Company (excluding (x) any issuance of rights or warrants for which an adjustment was made pursuant to Section 5(g)(i)(3) hereof, (y) dividends or distributions in connection with a Share Exchange Event to which Section 5(k) applies or (z) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment was made pursuant to Section 5(g)(i)(6) hereof) (the “ Distributed Securities ”), then in each such case the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Record Date fixed for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date and of which the denominator shall be Current Market Price per share on such Record Date less the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be evidenced by a certificate delivered to each Holder that shall be signed by two officers of the Company, at least one of whom shall be the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer) on such Record Date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Record Date). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately prior to the open of business on the date after the Record Date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted as to any Note that has not been converted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

31

If the fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of a Note shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Distributed Securities so distributed that such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Note immediately prior to such Record Date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 5(g)(i)(4) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the securities distributed by the Company to all or substantially all Shareholders consist of Capital Stock of, or similar equity interests in, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (the “ Spinoff Securities ”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Record Date fixed for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the average Quoted Price of one share of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period (the “ Spinoff Valuation Period ”) commencing on the first Trading Day that is, or next follows, the “ex” date for such distribution on The NASDAQ Capital Market or such other U.S. national or regional exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted and (B) the average of the Quoted Prices over the Spinoff Valuation Period of the Spinoff Securities multiplied by the number of Spinoff Securities distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the average Quoted Price of one share of Common Stock over the Spinoff Valuation Period, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the open of business on the date after the Record Date for the determination of Stockholders entitled to receive Spinoff Securities in such distribution. With respect to any Note converted such that the Conversion Date therefor would otherwise be on or after the first Trading Day, but prior to the last Trading Day, of a Spinoff Valuation Period, solely as to such Note, such Spinoff Valuation Period shall instead end on such Conversion Date. With respect to any converted Note as to which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies and the first day of any Spinoff Valuation Period is prior to, and the last day of such Spinoff Valuation Period is after, the last day of the related Determination Period, solely as to such Note, such Spinoff Valuation Period shall instead end on the last day of such Determination Period. If the “ex” date for any event (other than the distribution of Spinoff Securities requiring an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph) that requires an adjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5(g)(i)(1) , (2) , (3) , (4) , (5) , or (6)  occurs during the Spinoff Valuation Period for such distribution, the Quoted Price of the Common Stock for each Trading Day on or after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Quoted Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 5(g)(i)(1) , (2) , (3) , (4) , (5) , or (6) , as applicable, as a result of such other event. If the “ex” date for any event involving Spinoff Securities that would (if the Conversion Obligation (and the provisions of this Section 5 ) were in respect of Spinoff Securities instead of Common Stock) require an adjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5(g)(i)(1) , (2) , (3) , (4) , (5) , or (6)  occurs during

32

the Spinoff Valuation Period for such distribution, the Quoted Price of the Spinoff Securities for each Trading Day on or after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Quoted Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Rate would so be required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 5(g)(i)(1) , (2) , (3) , (4) , (5) , or (6) , as applicable, as a result of such other event (if the Conversion Obligation (and the provisions of this Section 5 ) were in respect of Spinoff Securities instead of Common Stock).

(5) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a “ Triggering Distribution ”) to all or substantially all Shareholders a payment consisting exclusively of cash, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying such Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such Triggering Distribution (a “ Determination Date ”) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date less the amount of such cash dividend or distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock, such increase to become effective immediately prior to the open of business on date after the Record Date for such Triggering Distribution. If the amount of cash dividend or distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of a Note shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash so distributed that such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Note immediately prior to such Determination Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted as to any Note that has not been converted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such divided or distribution had not been declared.

(6) If any Tender Offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of Common Stock shall expire, then, if the Tender Offer shall require the payment to Shareholders of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (determined as provided below) that exceeds the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date (the “ Expiration Date ”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such Tender Offer (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the “ Expiration Time ”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be equal to (A) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (excluding any Purchased Shares (as defined below) and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time and (y) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date plus (B) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (the fair market value as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be evidenced by a certificate delivered

33

to each Holder that shall be signed by (i) the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company and (ii) one other officer of the Company) payable to Shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Tender Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “ Purchased Shares ”) and the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any Purchased Shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time multiplied by (B) the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, such increase to become effective immediately prior to the open of business on the day following the Expiration Date. With respect to any Note converted such that the Conversion Date therefor would not otherwise be on or after the first Trading Day, but prior to the last Trading Day, of the Tender Offer Valuation Period, solely as to such Note, such Tender Offer Valuation Period shall instead end on such Conversion Date. With respect to any converted Note as to which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies and the first day of any Tender Offer Valuation Period is after, the last day of the related Determination Period, solely as to such Note, such Tender Offer Valuation Period shall instead end on the last day of such Determination Period. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such Tender Offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all such Purchases or any or all such Purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted as to any Note that has not been converted to be the Conversion Rate which would have been in effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased, if any. If the application of this Section 5(g)(i)(6) to any Tender Offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such Tender Offer under this Section 5(g)(i)(6) .

(7) For purposes of this Section 5 , the term “ Tender Offer ” shall mean and include both tender offers and exchange offers, all references to “ Purchases ” of shares in tender offers (and all similar references) shall mean and include both the purchase of shares in tender offers and the acquisition of shares pursuant to exchange offers, and all references to “ Tendered Shares ” (and all similar references) shall mean and include shares tendered in both tender offers and exchange offers.

(ii) In any case in which this Section 5(g) shall require that an adjustment be made following a Record Date, a Determination Date or Expiration Date, as the case may be, established for the purposes specified in this Section 5(g) , the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the mailing by the Company of the notice of adjustment described in Section 5(i) hereof) issuing to the Holder of any Note converted after such Record Date, Determination Date or Expiration Date the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Rate prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of any shares of Common Stock the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence prepared by the Company of the right to receive such shares of Common Stock. If any distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required to be made as of the Record Date, Determination Date or Expiration Date

34

therefor is not thereafter made or paid by the Company for any reason, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as to any Note that has not been converted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such Record Date had not been fixed or such Record Date, Determination Date or Expiration Date had not occurred.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 5(g) , “ Record Date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the Shareholders have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of Shareholders entitled to receive such cash, security or other property (whether or not such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).

(iv) For purposes of this Section 5 , the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

(v) For purposes solely of this Section 5(g) , the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder of any Note would have been entitled to receive had such Note been converted in full at any time or into which any Note was converted at any time shall be determined assuming such Note was convertible in full at such time, although such Note may not be convertible in full at such time pursuant to Section 5(a) .

(vi) Irrespective of any adjustment in the Conversion Rate applicable or the amount or kind of shares into which the Notes are convertible, certificates evidencing Notes theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same Conversion Rate initially applicable or amount or kind of shares initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement.

(h) No Adjustment . No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate as last adjusted; provided, however, that any adjustments which would be required to be made but for this Section 5(h) shall be carried forward and made, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (i) on each anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) on the Conversion Date for any Notes. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth of a share, as the case may be, with one half cent and 0.00005 of a share, respectively, being rounded upward.

(i) compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof;

35

(ii) after such adjustment becomes effective, deliver to all Holders in accordance with Section 14(f) a notice setting forth such adjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property for which the Notes shall be convertible and the Conversion Rate) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based; and

(iii) deliver to each Holder a certificate of the Treasurer of the Company setting forth the Conversion Rate and the number of shares of Common Stock into which each Security is convertible after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was made (including a description of the basis on which the Current Market Price of the Common Stock or the fair market value of any evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities, cash or other assets or consideration used in the computation was determined).

(j) Notice of Certain Transactions . In case of any:

(i) action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5(a)(v) or Section 5(g) ;

(ii) Share Exchange Event; or

(iii) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Agreement), the Company shall deliver to all Holders in accordance with Section 14(f) a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the Shareholders of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, (y) the date on which such Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that Shareholders of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up; or (z) the date on which such Tender Offer commenced, the date on which such Tender Offer is scheduled to expire unless extended, the consideration offered and the other material terms thereof (or the material terms of any amendment thereto). Such notice shall be given, in the case of any action covered by clause (x) above, at least 10 days prior to the Record Date for determining Shareholders for purposes of such action or, in the case of any action covered by clauses (y) through (z)  above, at least 20 days prior to the applicable effective or expiration date specified above or, in any such case, prior to such earlier time as notice thereof shall be required to be given pursuant to Rule l0b-17 under the Exchange Act. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

If at any time the Company shall cancel any of the proposed transactions for which notice has been given under this Section 5(j) prior to the consummation thereof, the Company shall give each Holder prompt notice of such cancellation in accordance with Section 14(f) hereof.

36

(k) Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale . In the case of:

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock is converted into, or exchanged for, cash, securities or other property or assets (any such event, a “ Share Exchange Event ,” and any such cash, securities or other property or assets, the “ Reference Property ,” and the amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such Share Exchange Event would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Share Exchange Event, a “ Unit of Reference Property ”), then, (x) at and after the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, on such terms and subject to such conditions as shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the provisions set forth in this Section 5 , a Holder’s right to convert a Note into shares of Common Stock (unless the Company elects to deliver cash in lieu of all or a portion of such shares in accordance with Section 5(c) ) shall be changed into a right to convert a Note into units of Reference Property (unless the obligor elects to deliver cash in lieu of all or a portion of such units of Reference Property in accordance with Section 5(c) ) and (y) the Company or the successor or purchasing company, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holders of Notes an amendment or supplement hereto so providing and further providing that the rights and obligations of the Company or the successor or purchasing company, as the case may be, and the Holders in respect of Reference Property shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the rights and obligations of the Company and Holders in respect of Common Stock hereunder as set forth in Section 5(a) hereof and elsewhere herein; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Share Exchange Event:

(i) the Company shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of Notes in accordance with Section 5(c) ;

(ii) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 5(c) (subject to the Company’s right to elect to deliver cash in lieu of all or a portion of such shares in accordance with Section 5(c) ) shall instead be deliverable in units of Reference Property (subject to the obligor’s right to elect to deliver cash in lieu of all or a portion of such units of Reference Property in accordance with Section 5(c) ); and

(iii) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.

Such amendment or supplement hereto described above shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments for events subsequent to the effective date of the Share Exchange Event that shall be as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5 . If the Reference Property in respect of any Share Exchange Event includes shares of stock, securities

37

or other property or assets of a company other than the Company or the successor or purchasing company, as the case may be, in such Share Exchange Event, then such other company shall also execute such amendment or supplement hereto, and such amendment or supplement shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of Notes, including the right of Holders of Notes to require the Company to purchase their Notes upon a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 4 , as the Board of Directors reasonably considers necessary by reason of the foregoing.

If the Share Exchange Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of Shareholder election), then:

(i) the amount and kind of Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be (A) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the Shareholders that affirmatively make such an election or (B) if no Shareholders affirmatively make such an election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the Shareholders; and

(ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) above attributable to one share of Common Stock.

The Company shall notify Holders in accordance with Section 14(f) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

The Company shall not become a party to any Share Exchange Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 5 . None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of the Notes to convert its Notes into shares of Common Stock (subject to the Company’s right to elect to deliver cash in lieu of all or a portion of such shares in accordance with Section 5(c) ) as set forth in Section 5(a) and Section 5(b) prior to the effective time of such Share Exchange Event.

The above provisions of this Section 5(k) shall similarly apply to successive Share Exchange Events.

(l) Voluntary Increase . The Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate, to the extent permitted by law, by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 Business Days, and the Company provides 15 days’ prior written notice in accordance with Section 14(f) of any increase in the Conversion Rate to the Holders. The Company may also make such an increase to the Conversion Rate as the Board of Directors determines would avoid or diminish income tax to Shareholders in connection with a dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

(m) Stockholder Rights Plans . To the extent the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes, each share of Common Stock, if any, issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such stockholder rights plan,

38

as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion of Notes, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan so that the Holders would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all Shareholders Distributed Securities as provided in Section 5(g)(i)(4) , subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to provide for the conversion of all outstanding Notes, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of Shareholders of the Company to authorize

52

additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations under Sections 5(f) and 10(d) , in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain shareholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to provide for the conversion of all outstanding Notes.

(g) Investment Company Act . The Company shall not invest, or otherwise use the proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the Notes in such a manner as would require the Company to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

(h) Corporate Existence; Conduct of Business .

(j) No Integrated Offering . None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their respective affiliates and any person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in Section 10(ii) of this Agreement that would cause the offering of the Notes to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any applicable shareholder approval provisions under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

(1) commences as a debtor a voluntary case or proceeding;

(c) Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (vi) or (vii)  of Section 12(a) hereof) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Company, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding may, by notice to the other Holders and the Company, declare the Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of declaration on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such Principal Amount and such accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be due and payable immediately.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

(ii) The Holders may maintain a proceeding even if they do not possess any of the Notes or do not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(e) Waiver Of Defaults And Events Of Default . Subject to Sections 12(g) and (i)  hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the other Holders and the Company may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except an uncured Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or any accrued but unpaid interest on any Note, an uncured failure by the Company to convert any Notes into Common Stock or any Default or Event of Default in respect of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes which, under (i)  hereof, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected.

(2) Second, to such other person or persons, if any, to the extent entitled thereto; and

(3) Third, the balance, if any, to the Company.

(i) Undertaking For Costs . In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 12(i) does not apply to a suit made by a Holder pursuant to Section 12(g) hereof or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding.

13. TERMINATION .

57

14. MISCELLANEOUS .

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

(g) Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Notes. Except as expressly provided in Section 11(l) hereof, and subject in any event to the provisions of Section 5(k) , the Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, including by way of a Fundamental Change or a Share Exchange Event, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. No purchaser of any of the Notes from the Buyer shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase; provided , however , that the Buyer may assign some or all of its rights and obligations hereunder without the consent of the Company to any purchaser (a “ Permitted Assignee ”), in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be the Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights and obligations. A Buyer assigning some or all of its rights and obligations hereunder shall provide the Company notice of such assignment in accordance with Section 14(f) , however no assignment shall be invalid solely due to failure to comply with this notice requirement. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the rights of a Permitted Assignee hereunder, the assignment of this Agreement to a Permitted Assignee shall not relieve the Company of any obligations to Buyer for any fees, reimbursement of expenses, indemnification or any other payments hereunder.

(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person, except that each Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Company with respect to Section 14(k) .

(i) Survival . Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 13 , the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyer contained in Sections 9 and 10 , and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 11 , and 14 and elsewhere herein and in the Notes shall survive the Closing. The Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

(j) Further Assurances . Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

61

(k) Indemnification . In consideration of the Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents executed and delivered by the Buyer and acquiring the Notes thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and each other holder of the Notes and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “ Indemnitees ”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “ Indemnified Liabilities ”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (iii) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (1) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (2) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Notes or (3) the status of the Buyer or holder of the Notes as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.

(l) Indemnification Procedures . Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under Section 14(k) , promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under Section 14(k) unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any Indemnitee other than the indemnification obligation provided in Section 14(k) . The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the Indemnitee in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, retained by the Indemnitee or parties except as set forth below); provided , however , that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the Indemnitee in an action, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable

62

fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Indemnitee and the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnitees that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent the Indemnitee within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the Indemnitee in writing to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitees, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitees are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(m) No Strict Construction . The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No agreement or instrument (other than the Notes and this Agreement) to which the Company is a party (including any agreement or instrument in respect of the Terex Transaction or the PM Group Transaction) shall be used to interpret the Notes or this Agreement.

(n) Specific Performance . The parties acknowledge that money damages are not an adequate remedy for violations of this Agreement and that any party may, in its sole discretion, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive or such other relief as such court may deem just and proper in order to enforce this Agreement or prevent any violation hereof and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each party waives any objection to the imposition of such relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.

(o) Fees . The Company shall reimburse the Buyer (in addition to any other expense amounts paid to the Buyer or its counsel prior to the date of this Agreement) for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including all legal fees and disbursements in connection therewith, documentation and implementation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and due diligence in connection therewith and the administration, modification and/or enforcement of this Agreement), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, which amount may, at the option of the Buyer, be withheld by the Buyer from its Purchase Price at the Closing. The Company shall pay, and hold the Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any such payment.

63

(p) Rescission and Withdrawal Right . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever the Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

(q) Usury . Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein contained, no Holder shall collect a rate of interest on any Notes in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law. The Company understands and believes that transactions contemplated herein comply with all applicable usury laws; however, if any interest or other charges in connection with such transactions are ever determined to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, then the Company agrees that (a) the amount of interest or charges payable pursuant to this Agreement and the Notes shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted by such applicable law, and (b) any excess amount previously collected from the Company in connection with this Agreement or the Notes that exceeded the maximum amount permitted by such applicable law shall be credited against the Principal Amount then outstanding. If the outstanding Principal Amount has been paid in full, the excess amount paid shall be refunded to the Company. The “contracted for rate of interest” of the Notes includes, without limitation, the following: (i) the Base Coupon; (ii) any overdue and unpaid interest; (iii) any Default Interest; and (iv) all fees, charges, goods, things in action or any sum or things of value (“ Additional Sums ”) paid or payable by the Company whether pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. If any such Additional Sums may, under applicable laws, be deemed to be interest with respect to transactions contemplated herein, then, for the purpose of any applicable laws that may limit the maximum amount of interest to be charged with respect to transactions contemplated herein, such Additional Sums shall be payable by the Company as, and shall be deemed to be, additional interest, and for such purposes only, the agreed upon and “contracted for rate of interest” of this transaction shall be deemed to be increased by the rate of interest resulting from the Additional Sums.

(r) Payment Set Aside . To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Buyer enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

(s) Amendments, Supplements and Waivers .

(i) With Consent Of Holders .

(1) The Company may amend or supplement this Agreement or the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding. However, subject to Section 14(t) hereof, without the written consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not:

64

(A) alter the manner of calculation or rate of accrual of interest on any Note or change the time of payment of any installment of interest on, or with respect to, any Note;

(B) make any of the Notes payable in money or securities other than that stated in the Notes or this Agreement;

(C) change the stated maturity of any Note;

In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e). The Initial Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Initial Required Registration Amount determined as of the date the Initial Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(f). The Initial Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise

5

directed by the Required Holders) the “ Plan of Distribution ” and “ Selling Shareholders ” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B . The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Initial Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Initial Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Initial Registration Statement.

(b) Additional Mandatory Registrations . The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an Additional Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Additional Registrable Securities not previously registered on an Additional Registration Statement hereunder. To the extent the staff of the SEC does not permit the Additional Required Registration Amount to be registered on an Additional Registration Statement, the Company shall file Additional Registration Statements successively trying to register on each such Additional Registration Statement the maximum number of remaining Additional Registrable Securities until the Additional Required Registration Amount has been registered with the SEC. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e). Each Additional Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Additional Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Additional Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(f). Each Additional Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the Plan of Distribution and Selling Shareholders sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B . The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have each Additional Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Additional Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Additional Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Additional Registration Statement.

(c) Allocation of Registrable Securities . The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase or decrease in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors (if applicable) 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 or decrease thereof is declared effective by the SEC. 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. Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement. In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.

6

(d) Legal Counsel . Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Lead Investor shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section 2 (“ Legal Counsel ”), which shall be Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP or such other counsel as thereafter designated by the Lead Investor. The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Ineligibility for Form S-3 . In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

(f) Sufficient Number of Shares Registered . In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) is insufficient to cover the Required Registration Amount of Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor’s allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(c), the Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the necessity therefor arises. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration Statement is less than the Required Registration Amount. The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on the conversion, amortization and/or redemption of the Notes and such calculation shall assume (i) that the Notes are then convertible in full into shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Conversion Rate and (ii) the initial outstanding principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding through the scheduled Maturity Date and no redemptions of the Notes occur prior to the scheduled Maturity Date.

(g) Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement . If (i) the Initial Registration Statement when declared effective fails to register the Initial Required Registration Amount of Initial Registrable Securities (a “ Registration Failure ”), (ii) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the applicable Filing Deadline (a “ Filing Failure ”) or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, (an

7

“ Effectiveness Failure ”), (iii) on any day after the applicable Effective Date, sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made (other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(r))) pursuant to such Registration Statement or otherwise (including, without limitation, because of the suspension of trading or any other limitation imposed by an Eligible Market, a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a failure to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or a failure to maintain the listing of the Common Stock) (a “ Maintenance Failure ”) or (iv) if a Registration Statement is not effective for any reason or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason, the Company fails to file with the SEC 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), if applicable) (a “ Current Public Information Failure ”) as a result of which any of the Investors are unable to sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance or the additional obligation of the Company to register any Cutback Shares), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to (x) one half of one percent (0.5%) of the aggregate Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, whether or not included in such Registration Statement, on each of the following dates: (i) the day of a Registration Failure, (ii) the day of a Filing Failure; (iii) the day of an Effectiveness Failure; (iv) the initial day of a Maintenance Failure; (v) the initial day of a Current Public Information Failure and (y) one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, whether or not included in such Registration Statement, on each of the following dates: (i) on the thirtieth day after the date of a Registration Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Registration Failure is cured; (ii) on the thirtieth day after the date of a Filing Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Filing Failure is cured; (iii) on the thirtieth day after the date of an Effectiveness Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; (iv) on the thirtieth day after the initial date of a Maintenance Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Maintenance Failure is cured; and (v) on the thirtieth day after the initial date of a Public Information Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Public Information Failure is cured. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(g) are referred to herein as “ Registration Delay Payments .” Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the dates set forth above and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the Default Rate per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) Registration Delay Payments shall cease to accrue when all of the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions or limitations, (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of all Registration

8

Delay Payments (without regard to any accrued interest thereon in accordance with the preceding sentence) paid to an Investor exceed an amount equal to 10% of such Investor’s original principal amount stated in such Investor’s Note on the Closing Date, (iii) no single event or failure shall give rise to more than one type of Registration Delay Payment or (iv) if an Investor would be required to be named as an “underwriter” in the Registration Statement by the SEC and such Investor elects, pursuant to Section 3(s) below not to include any Registrable Securities of such Investor in the Registration Statement, no Registration Delay Payments shall accrue with respect to such Registrable Securities of such Investor.

3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS .

At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(b), 2(e) or 2(f), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

The term “reasonable best efforts” shall mean, among other things, that the Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, and (ii) the approval of Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 3(c) (which approval is immediately sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request. The Company shall respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that an amendment is required in order for a Registration Statement to be declared effective.

(b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post- effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply

9

with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.

(c) The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) a Registration Statement at least three (3) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.

(d) The Company shall upon request furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor; provided, that any such item which is available on the SEC’s EDGAR System (or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.

(e) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue

10

sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(f) The Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (which may be by email) of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and, subject to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and upon request deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel in writing (which may be by email) (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel by facsimile or email on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate. By 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the date following the date any post-effective amendment has become effective, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(g) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

11

(h) If any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or an Investor believes that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, at the reasonable request of such Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor 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, addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors.

(i) If any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or an Investor believes that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) such Investor, (ii) Legal Counsel and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investors (collectively, the “ Inspectors ”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “ Records ”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement. Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investors’ ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

(j) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non- appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

12

(k) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) secure the inclusion for quotation of all of the Registrable Securities on The Principal Market or (iii) if, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts, the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to secure the inclusion for quotation on another Eligible Market for such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(k).

(l) The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.

(m) If requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable Securities.

(o) The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the applicable Effective Date of a Registration Statement.

(p) The Company shall otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.

13

(q) Within two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A .

(r) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective Date, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “ Grace Period ”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investors in writing (which may be by email) of the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to the Investors) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Investors in writing (which may be by email) of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed ten (10) consecutive Trading Days and during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of forty-five (45) Trading Days and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an “ Allowable Grace Period ”). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale, prior to the Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

(s) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Investor as an “underwriter” in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market without the prior written consent of such Investor (it being understood, that if the Company is required to name such Investor as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement by the SEC (after a good faith discussion with the SEC to lift such requirement, including, without limitation, any reduction in the number of Registrable Securities of such Investor to be registered on such Registration Statement (to the extent necessary to lift such requirement)), such Investor shall have the option of electing to exclude all such Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement or to be named as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution” section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement.

14

(t) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Buyer in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS .

(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated Filing Date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing (which may be by email) of the information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete any registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

(b) Each Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing (which may be by email) of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

(c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

(d) Each Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION .

The Company shall also reimburse the Investors for the

15

fees and disbursements of Legal Counsel in connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement which amount shall be limited to $25,000 for each such registration, filing or qualification.

6. INDEMNIFICATION .

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “ Claims ”), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“ Indemnified Damages ”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post- effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“ Blue Sky Filing ”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “ Violations ”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d); and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the

16

Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “ Indemnified Party ”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities

17

included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(d) The indemnification required by this Section 6 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 Indemnified Damages are incurred.

(e) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

7. CONTRIBUTION .

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

18

8. REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT .

With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“ Rule 144 ”), the Company agrees to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS .

The rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights and obligations, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights and obligations hereunder are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Note Purchase Agreement.

10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS .

Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders; provided that any such

19

amendment or waiver that complies with the foregoing but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Investor relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Investors shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

11. MISCELLANEOUS .

This Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyer, the Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and Required Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 11 shall be binding upon the Buyer, Holders of Notes and the Company.

(b) Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Notes. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, including by way of a Fundamental Change, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. No purchaser of any of the Notes from the Buyer shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase; provided, however, that the Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company to any Permitted Assignee, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be the Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights. A Buyer assigning some or all of its rights hereunder shall provide the Company notice of such assignment in accordance with Section 10(d), however no assignment shall be invalid solely due to failure to comply with this notice requirement. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the rights of a Permitted Assignee hereunder, the assignment of this Agreement to a Permitted Assignee shall not relieve the Company of any obligations to Buyer for any fees, reimbursement of expenses, indemnification or any other payments hereunder.

(c) No Third Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person, except that each Indemnified Person shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Company with respect to Section 6.

Any party to this Agreement may change such address for notices by sending to the parties to this Agreement written notice of a new address for such purpose.

(e) Specific Performance . The parties acknowledge that money damages are not an adequate remedy for violations of this Agreement and that any party may, in its sole discretion, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive or such other relief as such court may deem just and proper in order to enforce this Agreement or prevent any violation hereof and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each party waives any objection to the imposition of such relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.

(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

22

(g) Headings . The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

(h) Extensions; Waivers . Any party may, for itself only, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right or remedy.

(i) Severability . If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

(j) Amendments . No party may amend or supplement this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders and the Company. After an amendment or supplement becomes effective, it shall bind the Company and every Investor.

(k) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. Executed copies of the signature pages of this Agreement sent by facsimile or transmitted electronically in Portable Document Format shall be treated as originals, fully binding and with full legal force and effect, and the parties waive any rights they may have to object to such treatment.

(l) Rescission and Withdrawal Right . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) this Agreement, whenever the Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under this Agreement and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

23

(m) No Strict Construction . The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

(n) Fees . The Company shall reimburse the Buyer (in addition to any other expense amounts paid to the Buyer or its counsel prior to the date of this Agreement) for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement (including all legal fees and disbursements in connection therewith, documentation and implementation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement and due diligence in connection therewith and the administration, modification and/or enforcement of this Agreement), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, which amount may, at the option of the Buyer, be withheld by the Buyer from its Purchase Price at the Closing. The Company shall pay, and hold the Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any such payment.

(o) Further Assurances . Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(p) Several and not Joint . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the rights, duties, and obligations of each Buyer or Holder hereunder are several and not joint, and no Buyer or Holder shall be liable hereunder for the duties or obligations of any other Buyer or Holder. No Buyer or Holder makes any representation or warranty hereunder to or for the benefit of any other Buyer or Holder.

[FORM OF NOTICE OF EFFECTIVENESS OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT]

[                    ]

[                    ]

Attention: [                    ]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

[We are][I am] counsel to Manitex International, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “ Company ”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of January [        ] , 2015 (the “ Note Purchase Agreement ”), entered into by and among the Company and the buyer named therein (collectively, the “ Holders ”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders convertible notes (the “ Notes ”) pursuant to which shares of the Company’s common stock (the “ Common Stock ”) are issuable thereunder. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on [                    ] , 2015, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333- [                    ] ) (the “ Registration Statement ”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling shareholder thereunder.

In connection with the foregoing, [we][I] advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and [we][I] have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

A-1

This letter shall serve as our standing instruction to you that the shares of Common Stock are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant to the Registration Statement. [You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holders as contemplated by the Company’s Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated [                    ].

CC: [LIST OF NAMES OF HOLDERS]

EXHIBIT B

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

1. The shares of common stock being offered by the selling shareholders are those issuable to the selling shareholders pursuant to the terms of the convertible notes. For additional information regarding the issuance of those convertible notes, see “Private Placement of Convertible Notes” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the convertible notes issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the selling shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

2. The table below lists the selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling shareholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling shareholder, based on its ownership of the convertible notes, as of [                    ] , 2015, assuming conversion of all convertible notes held by the selling shareholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversion, amortization, redemption or exercise.

3. The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders.

4. In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least 125% of the maximum number of shares of common stock issued and issuable pursuant to the convertible notes as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC. Because the conversion price of the convertible notes may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus.

5. The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Exhibit B-1

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the convertible note to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the convertible notes from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

The selling shareholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,

Exhibit B-2

If the selling shareholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling shareholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The selling shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the convertible notes or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling shareholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

Exhibit B-3

There can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

The selling shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $ [                    ] in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling shareholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling shareholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling shareholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling shareholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
