Statement, and (iii) could (A) reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Company or its business if made at such time, or (B) reasonably be excepted to interfere with the Company’s ability to effect a planned or proposed
acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction or (C) otherwise require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as
confidential, then the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such determination of the Board to the participants in such registration (each of whom hereby agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information disclosed to such
participants, provided that, the Company shall not be required to disclose the nature of the delay or other confidential information), delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement;
provided that, the Company shall not be permitted to do so (x) for more than sixty (60) days for a given occurrence of such a circumstance, (y) more than two (2) times during any twelve-month period or (z) in

with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any such aborted registration or prospectus or prospectus supplement. 
  

	 	4.5	Selection of Underwriters 

 If any Holders intend
that any Registrable Securities covered by any registration pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2 shall be distributed by means of an underwritten offering, such Holders will so advise the Company, and the Company will include such
information in the notice sent by the Company to all of the Holders. In such event, the lead underwriter to administer the offering will be promptly chosen by the Company, subject to the prior written consent of the Holders selling a majority of the
securities to be sold in such offering, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Company is unable to select an underwriter, the Holders may select an underwriter, subject to the prior written consent of the Company, not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. If neither the Company nor the Holders are able to select an underwriter, the proposed underwriting shall not proceed and the Company will not be in breach of this Agreement. No Affiliate of GSO Capital Partners, LP
shall be selected as an underwriter by either the Company or the Holders. If the offering is underwritten, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 4 will be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in
such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and the Company and each such Holder will promptly enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder may promptly elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and the Holders. 
  

	 	4.6	Priority on Demand Registrations 

  

	 	4.6.1	 The Company will not include in any Demand Registration by means of an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 4 any securities that are
not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Initiating Holders. If the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable opinion the number of Registrable Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other
securities requested to be included in such offering) exceeds the number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the
Company will include in such offering only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share
offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, Registrable Securities of the Initiating Holders, pro rata (if applicable), based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by each
such Person, (ii) second, Registrable Securities of any other Holder who has delivered written requests for registration 



  

 10 








	 	 
pursuant to Section 4.2, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Person, and
(iii) third, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included, subject to the terms of this Agreement. 


  

	 	4.7	Piggyback Registrations 

  

	 	4.7.1	Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock in connection with a public offering of such securities solely for cash, other than a registration pursuant
to Section 4.2 or on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or any successor form), and the registration form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of Registrable Securities by the Company, the Company will give
prompt written notice to the Holders of its intention to effect such a registration (but in no event less than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated filing date) and, subject to Section 4.7.3, will include in such registration all
Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after the date of the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Any such Holder that
has made such a written request may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving prompt written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the
planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company may terminate or withdraw any registration under this Section 4.7.1 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not the Holders have elected to include
Registrable Securities in such registration. 

  

	 	4.7.2	If the registration referred to in Section 4.7.1 is proposed to be underwritten, the Company will so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to Section 4.7.1. In such event, the right of the Holders to registration pursuant to this Section 4.7 will be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and each such Person will (together with the Company and the other Persons distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. If any participating Holder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Person may promptly elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the
managing underwriter. 

  

	 	4.7.3	 If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable opinion the number
of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on 



  

 11 








	 	 
the per share offering price), the Company will include in such registration or prospectus only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of
such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the
securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities of the Holders who have requested registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.7.1, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate
number of such securities or shares owned by each such Holder, and (iii) third, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included.

qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective, under such other securities or blue sky laws of such United States jurisdictions as any participating Holder reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably
necessary or reasonably advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder (provided that, the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to
do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction); 

  

	 	4.8.5	 Notify each participating Holder, the Holders’ Counsel and the managing underwriter(s), if any, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or 



  

 13 








	 	 
upon the discovery of the happening of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, prospectus or documents and, as soon as reasonably practicable (but subject to
the delay provisions of Section 4.4), prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue
statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and that in the case of any prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statement therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; 


  

	 	4.8.6	Notify each participating Holder, the Holders’ Counsel and the managing underwriter(s), if any, (i) when such Registration Statement or the prospectus or any
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements

cease to be true and correct in any material respect, and (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in
any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; 

  

	 	4.8.7	Upon the occurrence of an event contemplated in Section 4.8.5 or in Section 4.8.6(ii), 4.8.6(iii), 4.8.6(iv) or 4.8.6(v) (but
subject to the delay provisions of Section 4.4), prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or
file any other required document so that such prospectus as thereafter delivered to the participating Holders will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; 

  

	 	4.8.8	 Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which Common 



  

 14 








	 	 
Stock issued by the Company is then listed or, if no similar securities issued by the Company are then listed on any securities exchange, use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on the AMEX or the NASDAQ stock market, as determined by the Company; 


  

	 	4.8.9	Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement; 

  

	 	4.8.10	Enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements and, lock-up agreements in customary form (excluding any lock-up of Registrable Securities), and
including provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution in customary form) and take all such other customary actions as the participating Holders or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, making members of management and executives of the Company available to participate in “road show,” similar sales events and other marketing activities; 

  

	 	4.8.11	In connection with any underwritten offering, make such representations and warranties to the participating Holders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, with respect to
the business of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries, and the Registration Statement, prospectus, and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily
made by the issuer in underwritten offerings, and, if true, make customary confirmations of the same if and when requested; 

  

	 	4.8.12	If requested by any participating Holder, or the managing underwriter(s), if any, promptly include in a prospectus supplement or amendment such information as the Holder or
managing underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after
the Company has received such request; 

  

	 	4.8.13	In the case of certificated Registrable Securities, cooperate with the participating Holders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and

Holder will be transferred in accordance with the Registration Statement, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders or managing underwriters, if any, may request at least two
business days prior to any sale of such Registrable Securities; 

  

 15 








	 	4.8.14	Make available for inspection by any participating Holders and the Holders’ Counsel, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration
Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such Holder or underwriter, to the extent reasonably requested and solely for conducting customary due diligence, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents
and documents relating to the business of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or
agent in connection with such Registration Statement, provided that, it shall be a condition to such inspection and receipt of such information that the inspecting person (i) enter into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and (ii) agree to minimize the disruption to the Company’s business in connection with the foregoing; 

  

	 	4.8.15	Otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and any applicable national securities exchange;


  

	 	4.8.16	Timely provide to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;


  

	 	4.8.17	In the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related
prospectus or ceasing trading of any securities included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction, use every commercially reasonable effort to promptly obtain the withdrawal of such order; 

  

	 	4.8.18	In connection with any underwritten offering, obtain one or more comfort letters, addressed to the underwriters, if any, dated the effective date of such Registration
Statement and the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement for such offering, signed by the Company’s independent registered public accountants (and if necessary, any other independent registered public accountants of any business
acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement) in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters as such
underwriters shall reasonably request; 

  

	 	4.8.19	In connection with any underwritten offering, provide legal opinions of the Company’s counsel, addressed to the underwriters, if any, dated the date of the closing under
the underwriting agreement, with respect to the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto as the underwriter shall reasonably request in customary
form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature; and 

  

 16 








	 	4.8.20	Obtain any required regulatory approval necessary for the Holders to sell their Registrable Securities in an offering, other than regulatory approvals required solely as a
result of the nature of the Holder. 

 As a condition to registering Registrable Securities, the Company may require each Holder
as to which any registration is being effected to furnish the Company with such information regarding such Person and pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of such securities as the Company may
from time to time reasonably request in writing. 
  

	 	4.9	Registration Expenses 

  

	 	4.9.1	Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all expenses incidental to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including all registration and
filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, word processing, duplicating and printing expenses, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any road show, and fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants and other persons retained by the Company (all such expenses, “Registration Expenses”), will be borne by the Company. The Company will, in any
event, pay its internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expenses of any liability insurance and the
expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which they are required to be listed hereunder. The Holders of the securities so registered shall pay all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and
transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities hereunder and any other Registration Expenses required by law to be paid by a selling holder pro rata on the basis of the amount of proceeds from the sale of their shares so
registered and sold. 

  

	 	4.9.2	In connection with any registration, the Company will reimburse the Holders participating in such registration for their reasonable and customary expenses (other than
underwriters’ discounts and commissions), including the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel (“Holders’ Counsel”). 

  


	 	4.10	Participation in Underwritten Registrations 

  

	 	4.10.1	 No Holder may participate in any registration hereunder that is underwritten unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the
basis provided in the underwriting arrangements in customary form 



  

 17 








	 	 
entered into pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the managing
underwriter(s), provided that, no such Holder will be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder has requested the Company to include in any registration), (ii) completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, provided that, such Holder shall not be required to make any representations
or warranties other than those related to title and ownership of shares and as to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in a Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company or the managing underwriter(s) by such Holder, and (iii) cooperates with the Company’s reasonable requests in connection with such registration or qualification (it being understood that the
Company’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, which failure is caused by such Holder’s failure to cooperate with such reasonable requests, will not constitute a breach by the Company of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the liability of any Holder participating in such an underwritten registration shall be limited to an amount equal to the amount of gross proceeds attributable to the sale of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.



  

	 	4.10.2	Each Holder that is participating in any registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described
in Section 4.4, 4.8.5 and 4.8.6, such Holder will forthwith discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Holder receives copies of a supplemented or amended
prospectus as contemplated by such Section 4.8.5, 4.8.6 and 4.8.7. 

  

	 	4.11	Rule 144 

 The Company will use its reasonable best
efforts to timely file all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it
will, upon the request of a Holder, make publicly available such information as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act), and it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, to
the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 or Regulation S under the
Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the reasonable request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to
whether it has complied with such information requirements, and, if not, the specifics thereof. 
  

 18 








	 	4.12	[Reserved] 

  

	 	4.13	Additional Interest 

 Subject to the delay
provisions of Section 4.4, in the event the Company fails to file a Registration Statement within ninety (90) days of Closing, in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 4.1 or within ninety (90) days of the
receipt of the request pursuant to Section 4.2 or the Registration Statement is not declared or deemed effective within 180 days of the filing with the SEC, the Company will pay to the Holders on the next applicable interest payment date
an amount equivalent to 2% per annum on the outstanding Borrowings and Permitted Accrued Interest owed under the Credit Agreement plus the amounts that would have been outstanding under the Credit Agreement if such Exchangeable Portion of the
Loan had not been exchanged for Registrable Securities for each day that filing or effectiveness is late. 
  

	5	Exchange Rights 

  

	 	5.1	Exchange Privilege 

  

	 	5.1.1	A Lender may exchange the Exchangeable Portion of its Loan as provided in Section 2.13(a) of the Credit Agreement; provided that with respect to any exchange of
the Exchangeable Portion of Loans into Series B Preferred Stock that would be subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act of 1974, as amended (the “HSR Act”), no such exchange shall
be considered effective until the expiration or termination of such waiting period and/or the approval of the United States Department of Justice or the Federal Trade Commission under the HSR Act; provided, that the Company agrees to promptly
prepare and file any notification that may be required under the HSR Act and to cooperate in all respects in the pursuit of any actions that might be required in connection with such notification and any inquiry or request for information related to
it. 

  

	 	5.1.2	Subject to the proviso of Section 5.1.1, the Exchangeable Portion of Loans delivered for exchange will be deemed to have been exchanged immediately prior to 5:00
p.m. on the Exchange Date. A Lender is not entitled to any rights with regard to Series B Preferred Stock until such Lender has exchanged in accordance with Section 5.2.1 (or is deemed to have exchanged) and shall be entitled to rights
with regard to Series B Preferred Stock only to the extent such Exchangeable Portion of Loans have been exchanged (or deemed to have exchanged) into Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Article 5. 

  

	 	5.2	Exchange Procedure 

  

	 	5.2.1	 The right of exchange attaching to the Exchangeable Portion of any Loan may be exercised as provided in the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, the 



  

 19 








	 	 
Borrower shall not redeem or prepay any Loan (or any portion thereof) with respect to which a Exchange Notice has been delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The Company shall deliver to the Lender a certificate for the number of whole shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon exchange (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 5.3) on the applicable date specified in
Section 5.13 for such delivery. 


  

	 	5.2.2	The person in whose name the Exchangeable Portion of the Loan is registered with the Administrative Agent in the Register shall be deemed to be a stockholder of record on the
Exchange Date; provided, however, that if the stock transfer books of the Company are closed when the Exchangeable Portion of any Loan is surrendered for exchange, such surrender and exchange shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business
on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; provided further, however, that such exchange shall be at the Exchange Rate in effect on the date on which such Exchangeable Portion of the Loan was delivered as if the stock
transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon exchange of a Loan, such person shall no longer be a Lender to the extent of such exchanged Loan. No adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made for accrued and unpaid interest on an exchanged
Loan except as provided in the Credit Agreement or this Agreement. 

  

	 	5.3	Fractional Shares 

 The Company will not issue
fractional shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon exchange of the Loans and instead will deliver cash in an amount equal to the value of such fraction computed on the basis of the Daily VWAP on the Trading Day immediately before the Exchange Date.

  

	 	5.4	Taxes on Exchange 

 If a Lender exchanges a Loan (or
any portion thereof), the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes relating to the issuance, delivery or registration of shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon such exchange; provided that the Borrower shall not pay any such Other Taxes due that
were only payable because of the issuance, delivery or registration of the shares in a name other than such Lender’s name. 
  

	 	5.5	Reservation of Stock 

  

	 	5.5.1	The Company shall, prior to the Closing Date, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve at all times and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its
authorized but unissued Series B Preferred Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that would be deliverable upon exchange of all of the Exchangeable Portions of the Loans. 

  

 20 








	 	5.5.2	All shares of Series B Preferred Stock that may be issued upon exchange of the Loans shall be newly issued shares or shares held in the treasury of the Company, shall be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free of any preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim. 

  

	 	5.5.3	The Company shall comply with all applicable securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of any Series B Preferred Stock upon exchange of the Loans and shall, to the
extent already listed, list or cause to have quoted such shares of Series B Preferred Stock on each national and regional securities exchange or such other market on which the Series B Preferred Stock is then listed or quoted; provided that,
if the rules of such automated quotation system or exchange permit the Company to defer the listing of such Series B Preferred Stock until the first exchange of the Exchangeable Portion of Loans into Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, the Company covenants to list such Series B Preferred Stock issuable upon exchange of the Exchangeable Portion of the Loans in accordance with the requirements of such automated quotation system or exchange at such
time. 

  

	 	5.6	Adjustment of Exchange Rate 

  

	 	5.6.1	The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows: 

  

	 	5.6.1.1	Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Company pays dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, then the Exchange Rate in effect
immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution will be multiplied by the following fraction: 

  

									
		  	        OS1        	  		  		  	
		  	OS0	  		  		  	

 OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution. 
 OS1 = the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution plus the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or distribution. 
  

	 	5.6.1.2	Subdivisions, Splits and Combination of Common Stock. If the Company subdivides, splits or combines the shares of Common Stock, then the Exchange Rate in effect
immediately prior to the Ex-Date of such share subdivision, split or combination will be multiplied by the following fraction: 

  

									
		  	         OS1        
	  		  		  	
		  	 OS0
	  		  		  	

  

 21 







 OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Date of such share subdivision, split or combination. 
 OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the close of business on the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination. 
  

	 	5.6.1.3	Issuance of Stock Purchase Rights. If the Company issues rights or warrants (other than rights or warrants issued pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan or share
purchase plan or other similar plans) entitling holders of such rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price (on an As-Converted Basis) on the date fixed for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, then the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution will be multiplied by the following fraction: 

  

									
		  	     OS0 + X    
	  		  		  	
		  	 OS0 + Y

	  		  		  	

 OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution. 
 X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants. 
 Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the average of the Daily VWAP
of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive VWAP Trading Day period ending on the VWAP Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution. 
 The Company shall not issue any such rights or warrants in respect of shares of the Common Stock acquired by the Company. To the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or
shares of Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Exchange Rate shall be readjusted to such Exchange Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment made
upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In determining the aggregate offering price payable for such shares of Common Stock, there shall be
taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined by the Board. 
  

 22 








	 	5.6.1.4	Debt or Asset Distributions. If the Company distributes to all holders of shares of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities, cash
or other assets (excluding (a) any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 5.6.1.1, (b) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 5.6.1.3, (c) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash,
and (d) any dividend of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary of the Company or other business unit in the case of certain spin-off transactions as described below), then the
Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution will be multiplied by the following fraction: 

  

									
		  		  	    SP0                	  		  	
		  		  	    SP0 - FMV	  		  	

 SP0 = the average of the Daily VWAP of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive VWAP Trading Day period ending on the VWAP Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such
distribution. 
 FMV = the fair market value as determined by the Board of the portion of the distribution applicable to a share of Common
Stock on such date. 
 In a “spin-off,” where the Company makes a distribution to all holders of shares of Common Stock consisting of capital stock
of any class or series, or similar equity interests of, or relating to, a Subsidiary of the Company or other business unit, the Exchange Rate will be adjusted on the fifteenth Trading Day after the effective date of the distribution by multiplying
such Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to such fifteenth Trading Day by the following fraction: 
  

									
		  		  	     MP0 + MPS    
	  		  	
		  		  	     MP0
	  		  	

 MP0 = the average of the Daily VWAP of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive VWAP Trading Day period immediately following the Ex-Date of such distribution. 
 MPs = the average of the Daily VWAP of the capital stock or equity interests representing the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first ten VWAP Trading Days following the Ex-Date of such distribution,
or, if not traded on a national or regional securities exchange or over-the-counter market, the fair market value of the capital stock or equity interests representing the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock on the
Ex-Date as determined by the Board. 
  

	 	5.6.1.5	 Cash Distributions. If the Company makes a distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (a) any cash
that is distributed pursuant to 



  

 23 








	 	 
Section 5.10 or as part of a “spin-off” referred to in Section 5.6.1.4, and (b) any dividend or distribution in
connection with a Liquidation Transaction, then in each event, the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution will be multiplied by the following fraction: 


  

									
		  		  	     SP0                
	  		  	
		  		  	     SP0 -
DIV
	  		  	

 SP0 = the average of the Daily VWAP of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive VWAP Trading Day period immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution. 
 DIV = the amount per share of Common Stock of the dividend or distribution. 
  

	 	5.6.1.6	Self Tender Offers and Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries successfully completes a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock where the cash
and the value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Daily VWAP for the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer, then the Exchange
Rate in effect at the close of business on such immediately succeeding Trading Day will be multiplied by the following fraction: 

  

									
		  		  	     AC + (SP0 x
OS1)    
	  		  	
		  		  	     OS0 x
SP0
	  		  	

 SP0 = the Daily VWAP for the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer. 
 OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration of the tender or exchange offer, including any shares validly tendered and not withdrawn. 
 OS1= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the expiration of the tender or exchange offer and after taking into account the shares purchased pursuant thereto. 
 AC = the aggregate cash and fair market value of the other consideration payable in the tender or exchange offer, as determined by the Board. 

 

	 	5.6.1.7	 Rights Plans. To the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect with respect to the Common Stock, upon exchange of any Loans, Lenders will
receive, in addition to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the rights under the rights plan, unless, prior thereto, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock, in which case the Exchange Rate will be adjusted at the 



  

 24 








	 	 
time of separation as if the Company had made a distribution of rights as described in Section 5.6.1.4 above, subject to readjustment in the
event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. 


  

	 	5.6.2	The Company may, with the consent of all Lenders, make such decreases in the Exchange Rate, in addition to any other decreases required by this Article 5, if the Board deems
it advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to Lenders resulting from any dividend or distribution of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (or issuance of rights or warrants to acquire shares of Series B Preferred Stock) or from any event treated
as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason. 

  

	 	5.6.3	All adjustments to the Exchange Rate shall be calculated to the nearest 1/1000. No adjustment in the Exchange Rate shall be required if such adjustment would be less than
1.00%; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 5.6.3 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further, that any
adjustment carried forward shall be taken into account at the time of exchange. 

  

	 	5.6.4	Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Applicable Exchange Rate shall not be adjusted: 

  

	 	5.6.4.1	Upon the issuance of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security
outstanding as of the Closing Date and not amended thereafter; 

  

	 	5.6.4.2	For a change in the par value or no par value of Series B Preferred Stock; or 

  

	 	5.6.4.3	For accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock as long as there are no accrued and unpaid dividends on Common Stock. 

  

	 	5.6.5	 If any Lender disagrees with any determination of value or fair market value made by the Board pursuant to this Section 5.6, such determination
shall instead be made by a firm of independent certified public accountants, an investment banking firm or appraisal firm (which firm shall own no securities of, and shall not be an Affiliate of any Lender or the Company) of recognized national
standing retained by the Borrower, that has not been retained by the Company or any of its Affiliates in the last twelve months, and reasonably acceptable to such Lender. Any such determination of value or fair market value by such firm of
independent certified public accountants, investment banking firm or appraisal firm shall be binding. In the event the firm recommends a change greater than 



  

 25 








	 	 
ten (10) percent from that made by the Board, the Borrower shall pay the fees and out-of-pocket disbursements of such firm in connection with such
valuation. The Borrower shall instruct such firm to complete the valuation as promptly as practicable. 


  

	 	5.7	[Reserved] 

  

	 	5.8	Other Adjustments 

 Subject to applicable stock
exchange rules and listing standards, the Company shall be entitled to increase the Exchange Rate, in addition to the events requiring an increase in the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 5.6.1, as it in its discretion shall determine to
be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any Tax to stockholders in connection with any stock dividends, subdivisions of shares, distributions of rights to purchase stock or securities or distributions of securities convertible into or
exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders. 
  

	 	5.9	Notice of Adjustment 

 Whenever the Exchange Rate is
adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Lenders a notice of the adjustment in accordance with Section 6.1, and an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it.

  

	 	5.10	Notice of Certain Transactions 

 In the event that:

  

	 	(a)	The Company takes any action which would require an adjustment in the Exchange Rate; 

  

	 	(b)	The Company consolidates or merges with, or transfers all or substantially all of its property and assets to, another corporation and stockholders of the Company must approve the
transaction; or 

  

	 	(c)	there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, 

 The
Company shall mail to Lenders in accordance with Section 6.1 a notice stating the proposed record or effective date, as the case may be. The Company shall mail the notice at least ten days before such date. Failure to mail such notice or
any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in this Section 5.10. 
  

	 	5.11	Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale on Conversion Privilege 

 If (1) there shall occur (a) any reclassification of the Series B Preferred Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a
subdivision or combination); (b) a statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company other than a merger in 

  

 26 







 
which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than in par value, or from par value
to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; or (c) a sale or conveyance as an entirety or substantially as an entirety of the
property and assets of the Company, directly or indirectly, to another person; and (2) pursuant to such reclassification, statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, holders of outstanding shares of Series
B Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive stock, other securities, other property, assets or cash for such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, then the Company, or such successor or surviving, purchasing or transferee person, as the case may
be, shall, as a condition precedent to such reclassification, statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, execute and deliver to the Lenders an amendment to this Agreement providing that, at and after the
effective time of such reclassification, statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, each Loan then outstanding shall have the right to exchange the Exchangeable Portion of such Loan into the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock deliverable upon exchange of the Exchangeable Portion of such Loan immediately prior to such reclassification, statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, assuming that such Lender would not have exercised
any rights of election that such Lender would have had as a holder of Series B Preferred Stock to select a particular type of consideration. Such amendment shall provide for adjustments of the Exchange Rate which shall be as nearly equivalent as may
be practicable to the adjustments of the Exchange Rate provided for in this Section 5.11. If, in the case of any such reclassification, statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other
securities and property (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of Series B Preferred Stock include shares of stock or other securities and property of a Person other than the successor or surviving, purchasing or transferee person, as the
case may be, in such reclassification, statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, then such amendment shall also be executed by such other person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the
interests of the Lenders as the Board shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. The provisions of this Section 5.11 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, statutory share exchanges, consolidations,
mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. The foregoing, however, shall not in any way affect the right a Lender may otherwise have pursuant to Section 5.5.1 receive rights and warrants in accordance therewith. 
 In the event the Company shall execute an amendment pursuant to this Section 5.11, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Lenders an
Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable by Lenders upon the conversion of the Exchangeable Portion of their Loans after any
such reclassification, statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been satisfied.

	 	5.12	[Reserved] 

  

	 	5.13	Notice 

 The Company shall notify the Lenders of the
method the Company chooses to satisfy its exchange obligation as follows: (i) if the Company has called the Loans for prepayment in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement in the Company’s notice of prepayment; (ii) no later
than 11 Trading Days immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in respect of Loans to be exchanged during the period beginning 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the Maturity Date and ending one Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date;
and (iii) no later than two Trading Days immediately following the Exchange Date in all other cases (such period, the “Settlement Notice Period”). The Company shall treat all Lenders exchanging on the same Trading Day in the
same manner. The Company shall not have any exchange obligation to satisfy its conversion obligations arising on different Trading Days in the same manner. No retraction can be made and a Lender’s Exchange Notice shall be irrevocable other than
as set forth in this Section 5.13, other than due to the inability of the underwriter described in Section 2.08 of the Credit Agreement to sell the Common Stock at or above the Required Conversion Price.
