(a) Except as provided in Section 3.1(b), Investor agrees that it (together with the other Investor Parties) shall not, and shall cause the other Investor Parties not to, acquire Economic Ownership of shares of Common Stock that would result in the Investor Parties in the aggregate Economically Owning a percentage of the then-outstanding Common Stock on a Fully

Diluted Basis that is greater than the Ownership Cap; provided, that if the Investor Parties inadvertently acquire Economic Ownership of shares of Common Stock that would result in the Investor Parties in the aggregate Economically Owning a percentage of the then-outstanding Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis that is greater than the Ownership Cap, then such Investor Party shall divest such shares as promptly as practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, no Person shall be in violation of this Section 3.1 as a result of any acquisition by the Company of any Common Stock or any other event that reduces the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, in each case, which is approved by the Board.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a), any of the Investor Parties may acquire Economic Ownership of shares of Common Stock that would result in the Investor Parties (taken as a whole) having Economic Ownership of a percentage of the then-outstanding Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis that is greater than the Ownership Cap under any of the following circumstances:

underwritten public offering of such shares) would, together with its Affiliates, to the actual knowledge (“Knowledge”) of the transferor Beneficially Own more than ten percent (10%) of the then-outstanding Common Stock. A transferor shall be deemed to have Knowledge of any transferee’s Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock if the transferor has actual knowledge of the identity of the transferee and such Beneficial Ownership has been, at the time of the agreement to transfer, publicly disclosed in accordance with Section 13 of the Exchange Act.

(b) The limitations in Section 3.2(a) shall not apply, and any Investor Party may Transfer freely:

(ii) to one or more underwriters or initial purchasers acting in their capacity as such in a manner not intended to circumvent the restrictions contained in Section 3.2(a);

(iii) in a sale in the public market, in accordance with Rule 144, including the volume and manner of sale limitations set forth therein;

(iv) in any Merger Transaction (other than a transaction contemplated by Section 3.2(b)(v) below) or transaction contemplated by clause (iii) of the definition of Change of Control (A) in which (in either case) no Investor Party is the acquiror or part of the acquiring group or is proposed to be combined with the Company and (B) that has been approved by the Board and a majority of the stockholders (it being understood that this clause (iv) does not affect the agreement of the parties under Section 2.1(e) and (f));

(v) in connection with a tender or exchange offer that (A) is not solicited by any Investor Party and in which all holders of Common Stock are offered the opportunity to sell shares of Common Stock and (B) complies with applicable securities laws, including Rule 14d-10 promulgated under the Exchange Act; and

For the purpose of this Agreement a “Transferee Agreement” executed by a Transferee means an agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement or in such other form as is reasonably satisfactory to the Company except that:

(i) notwithstanding Section 2.1(c), in connection with any stockholder meeting or consent solicitation relating to the election of members of the Board, such Transferee may vote the shares of Common Stock that it Beneficially Owns in favor of one director candidate in its sole and absolute discretion and regarding any other director candidates in such election must vote in proportion to Votes Cast;

(ii) “Investor” shall be defined to mean such Transferee;

(iii) “Ownership Cap” shall be defined to mean the lower of (x) forty seven percent (47%) and (y) the sum of five percent (5%) and the percentage of the outstanding Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis that the Transferee Economically Owns as of the date of (and after giving effect to) such Transfer;

SECTION 3.3 Purchaser Board Designees.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions in Article II (collectively, the “Specified Provisions”) shall be suspended and shall not apply in the event that the Purchaser Board Designees (as defined in the Shareholder Agreement) that Investor is entitled to designate under the terms of Section 3 of the Shareholder Agreement are not elected at a stockholders’ meeting at which the stockholders voted on the election of such Purchaser Board Designees (any such period, a “Suspension Period”); provided, however, that this Section 3.3(a) shall apply only if Investor has complied with its obligations under Section 3 of the Shareholder Agreement, including Investor’s timely designation of Purchaser Board Designees. No Suspension Period shall be deemed to occur during any reasonable period of time during which a Purchaser Board Designee is being replaced upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of such Purchaser Board Designee. Any Suspension Period shall end upon the election or appointment of the Purchaser Board Designees that Investor is entitled to designate under the terms of Section 3 of the Shareholder Agreement. At all times other than during a Suspension Period, the Specified Provisions shall apply in full force and effect.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Share Purchase Agreement, no Person that acquires Common Stock from the Investor Parties or from any other Person shall have any rights of Investor under Section 3 of the Shareholder Agreement with respect to the designation of members of the Board.

If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or entity or any circumstance, is found to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons, entities or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 5.10 Equitable Relief. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that each of the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions (without necessity of proving damages or posting a bond or other security) to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other applicable remedies at law or equity.
