event no later than 30 days after the Closing Date), the Company shall prepare and file

with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement covering all Registrable Securities (or

otherwise designate an existing ShelfRegistration Statement filed with the SEC to cover

Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such ShelfRegistration Statement to

be declared or become effective and to keep such ShelfRegistration Statement

continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and usable for resale of

such Registrable Securities for a period from the date of its initial effectiveness until such

time as there are no Registrable Securities remaining (including by refiling such Shelf

Registration Statement (or a new ShelfRegistration Statement) ifthe initial Shelf

designated by the Company as an automatic ShelfRegistration Statement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Signing Date the Company is not eligible to file

Shelf Registration Statement unless and until requested to do so in writing by the

Investor.

(ii) Any registration pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(i) shall be effected by means of

a shelf registration on an appropriate form under Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a

"ShelfRegistration Statement"). Ifthe Investor or any other Holder intends to distribute

any Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering it shall promptly so

resale of Registrable Securities from an effective Shelf Registration Statement) or an

underwritten offering pursuant to Section 4.5(a): (A) with respect to securities that are

not Registrable Securities; or (B) ifthe Company has notified the Investor and all other

Holders that in the good faith judgment ofthe Board ofDirectors, it would be materially

detrimental to the Company or its securityholders for such registration or underwritten

offering to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to

defer such registration for a period of not more than 45 days after receipt ofthe request of

the Investor or any other Holder; provided that such right to delay a registration or

underwritten offering shall be exercised by the Company (1) only ifthe Company has

registration pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(i) or a Special Registration, and the registration

form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of

Registrable Securities, the Company will give prompt written notice to the Investor and

all other Holders of its intention to effect such a registration (but in no event less than ten

days prior to the anticipated filing date) and will include in such registration all

Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests

for inclusion therein within ten business days after the date ofthe Company's notice (a

"Piggyback Registration"). Any such person that has made such a written request may

withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written

notice to the Company and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth

business day prior to the planned effective date ofsuch Piggyback Registration. The

Company may terminate or withdraw any registration under this Section 4.5(a)(iv) prior

to the effectiveness ofsuch registration, whether or not Investor or any other Holders

underwritten, the Company will so advise Investor and all other Holders as a part ofthe

written notice given pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(iv). In such event, the right ofInvestor

and all other Holders to registration pursuant to Section 4.5(a) will be conditioned upon

such persons' participation in such underwriting and the inclusion ofsuch person's

Registrable Securities in the underwriting ifsuch securities are ofthe same class of

securities as the securities to be offered in the underwritten offering, 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; provided

that the Investor (as opposed to other Holders) shall not be required to indemnify any

person in connection with any registration. If any participating person disapproves ofthe

terms ofthe underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice

more third parties to include their securities in an underwritten offering under the Shelf

Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii) or (y) a Piggyback Registration

and in either case the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable

opinion the number ofsecurities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the

number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability ofsuch 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 ofsuch

managing underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability ofthe

offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities

will be so included in the following order ofpriority: (A) first, in the case of a Piggyback

Registration under Section 4.5(a)(iv), the securities the Company proposes to sell, (B)

then the Registrable Securities ofthe Investor and all other Holders who have requested

inclusion ofRegistrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii) or Section 4.5(a)(iv), as

applicable, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number ofsuch securities or shares

owned by each such person and (C) lastly, any other securities ofthe Company that have

been requested to be so included, subject to the terms ofthis Agreement; provided.

however, that if the Company has, prior to the Signing Date, entered into an agreement

with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the order of priority contemplated

Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder shall be borne by the

holders ofthe securities so registered pro rata on the basis ofthe aggregate offering or sale price

meaning of the Securities Act (each, an "Indemnitee"), against any and all losses, claims,

damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and

disbursements of attorneys and other professionals incurred in connection with

investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such losses, claims,

damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses), joint or several, arising out of or based

upon any untIUe statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any

registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained

therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or any documents incorporated therein

by reference or contained in any free writing prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule

405) prepared by the Company or authorized by it in writing for use by such Holder (or

any amendment or supplement thereto); or any omission to state therein a material fact

required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the Company

shall not be liable to such Indemnitee in any such case to the extent that any such loss,

claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out

of or is based upon (A) an untIUe statement or omission made in such registration

statement, including any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained

therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto or contained in any free writing

prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule 405) prepared by the Company or authorized

by it in writing for use by such Holder (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in

reliance upon and in conformity with infonnation regarding such Indemnitee or its plan

ofdistribution or ownership interests which was furnished in writing to the Company by

such Indemnitee for use in connection with such registration statement, including any

such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any such

amendments or supplements thereto, or (B) offers or sales effected by or on behalf of

such Indemnitee "by means of' (as defined in Rule 159A) a "free writing prospectus" (as

defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the Company.

(ii) Ifthe indemnification provided for in Section 4.5(g)(i) is unavailable to an

Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or

expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the Indemnitee harmless as

contemplated therein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall

contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result ofsuch losses,

claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate

to reflect the relative fault ofthe Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Company, on the

other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,

claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant

-26-

equitable considerations. The relative fault ofthe Company, on the one hand, and ofthe

Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be d~termined by reference to, among other factors,

whether the untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates

to information supplied by the Company or by the Indemnitee and the parties' relative

intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such

statement or omission; the Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and

equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5(g)(ii) were determined by pro rata

allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account ofthe equitable

considerations referred to in Section 4.5(g)(i). No Indemnitee guilty offraudulent

misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 (f) ofthe Securities Act) shall be

entitled to contribution from the Company if the Company was not guilty ofsuch

fraudulent misrepresentation.

the initial aggregate liquidation preference ofthe Preferred Shares ifsuch initial aggregate

liquidation preference is less than $2 billion and (ii) $200 million if the initial aggregate

liquidation preference of the Preferred Shares is equal to or greater than $2 billion; provided,

however, the transferor shall, within ten days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written

notice ofthe name and address ofsuch transferee or assignee and the number and type of

Registrable Securities that are being assigned. For purposes ofthis Section 4.5(h), "market

value" per share ofCommon Stock shall be the last reported sale price ofthe Common Stock on

the national securities exchange on which the Common' Stock is listed or admitted to trading on

the last trading day prior to the proposed transfer, and the "market value" for the Warrant (or any

portion thereof) shall be the market value per share of Common Stock into which the Warrant (or

such portion) is exercisable less the exercise price per share.

(i) Clear Market. With respect to any underwritten offering ofRegistrable Securities

by the Investor or other Holders pursuant to this Section 4.5, the Company agrees not to effect

(other than pursuant to such registration or pursuant to a Special Registration) any public sale or

distribution, or to file any ShelfRegistration Statement (other than such registration or a Special

Registration) covering, in the case of an underwritten offering ofCommon Stock or Warrants,

any ofits equity securities or, in the case of an underwritten offering of Preferred Shares, any

Preferred Stock ofthe Company, or, in each case, any securities convertible into or exchangeable

or exercisable for such securities, during the period not to exceed ten days prior and 60 days

and defined in Rule 144(c)(1) or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the

Securities Act, at all times after the Signing Date;

(ii) (A) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents

issuable upon exercise ofthis Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as

follows; provided, that ifmore than one subsection ofthis Section 13 is applicable to a single

event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event

shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection ofthis Section 13 so as to result in

duplication:

(A) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. Ifthe Company

shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of

Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a

greater number ofshares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares ofCommon Stock

into a smaller number ofshares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise ofthis Warrant at

the time ofthe record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date ofsuch

subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the

Warrantholder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number ofshares of Common

Stock which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect ofthe shares of

Common Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised

immediately prior to such date. In such event, th~ Exercise Price in effect at the time ofthe

record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date ofsuch subdivision,

combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the

product of(1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise ofthis Warrant before such

adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date,

as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification

giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Shares issuable upon exercise ofthe

Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(B) Certain Issuances ofCommon Shares or Convertible Securities. Until the earlier

of(i) the date on which the Original Warrantholder no longer holds this Warrant or any portion

thereof and (ii) the third anniversary ofthe Issue Date, ifthe Company shall issue shares of

Common Stock (or rights or warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into or

exchangeable (collectively, a "conversion") for shares of Common Stock) (collectively,

"convertible securities") (other than in Permitted Transactions (as defmed below) or a

transaction to which subsection (A) ofthis Section 13 is applicable) without consideration or at a

consideration per share (or having a conversion price per share) that is less than 90% ofthe

Market Price on the last trading day preceding th.e date ofthe agreement on pricing such shares

(or such convertible securities) then, in such event:

8
(A) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise ofthis Warrant immediately

prior to the date ofthe agreement on pricing ofsuch shares (or ofsuch convertible

securities) (the "Initial Numbd') shall be increased to the number obtained by

multiplying the Initial Number by a fraction (A) the numerator ofwhich shall be

the sum of(x) the number ofshares ofCommon Stock ofthe Company

outstanding on such date and (y) the number of additional shares of Common

Stock issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert)

and (B) the denominator ofwhich shall be the sum of(1) the number ofshares of

Common Stock outstanding on such date and (ll) the number ofshares of

Common Stock which the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for

the total number ofshares of Common Stock so issued (or into which convertible

securities may be exercised or convert) would purchase at the Market Price on the

last trading day preceding the date ofthe agreement on pricing such shares (or

such convertible securities); and

(B) the Exercise Price payable upon exercise ofthe Warrant shall be adjusted by

multiplying such Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date ofthe

agreement on pricing ofsuch shares (or ofsuch convertible securities) bya

fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number ofshares ofCommon Stock

issuable upon exercise ofthis Warrant prior to such date and the denominator of

which shall be the number ofshares ofCommon Stock issuable upon exercise of

this Warrant imlnediately after the adjustment described in clause (A) above.

For purposes ofthe foregoing, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company in

connection with the issuance ofsuch shares ofCommon Stock or convertible securities shall be

deemed to be equal to the sum ofthe net offering price (including the Fair Market Value of any

non-cash consideration and after deduction of any related expenses payable to third parties) of all

such securities plus the minimum aggregate amount, if any, payable upon exercise or conversion

of any such convertible securities into shares ofCommon Stock; and "Permitted Transactions"

shall mean issuances (i) as consideration for or to fund the acquisition ofbusinesses and/or

related assets, (ii) in connection with employee benefit plans and compensation related

arrangements in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice approved by the Board of

Directors, (iii) in connection with a public or broadly marketed offering and sale ofCommon

Stock or convertible securities for cash conducted by the Company or its affiliates pursuant to

registration under the Securities Act or Rule 144A thereunder on a basis consistent with capital

raising transactions by comparable fmancial institutions and (iv) in connection with the exercise

ofpreemptive rights on terms existing as ofthe Issue Date. Any adjustment made pursuant to

this Section 13(B) shall become effective immediately upon the date ofsuch issuance.

(C) Other Distributions. In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making

of a distribution to all holders ofshares ofits Common Stock ofsecurities, evidences of

indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding Ordinary Cash Dividends, dividends of

its Common Stock and other dividends or distributions referred to in Section 13(A)), in each

such case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately

thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to

the reduction by the quotient of(x) the Market Price ofthe Common Stock on the last trading

day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the principal

9
national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without

the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of

the securities, evidences ofindebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect

of one share ofCommon Stock (such amount and/or Fair Market Value, the "Per Share Fair

Market Value") divided by (y) such Market Price on such date specified in clause (x); such

adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fIxed. In such event, the

number of Shares issuable upon the exercise ofthis Warrant shall be increased to the number

obtained by dividing (x) the product of(1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of

this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the

distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in

accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In the case of adjustment for a cash

dividend that is, or is coincident with, a regular quarterly cash dividend, the Per Share Fair

Market Value would be reduced by the per share amount ofthe portion ofthe cash dividend that

would constitute an Ordinary Cash Dividend. In the event that such distribution is not so made,

the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise ofthis Warrant then in effect

shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board ofDirectors determines not to

distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the case may

be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect and the number of Shares that would then

be issuable upon exercise ofthis Warrant ifsuch record date had not been fIxed.

(D) Certain Repurchases ofCommon Stock. In case the Company effects a Pro Rata

Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price determined

by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date ofsuch Pro

Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of(x) the number

ofshares ofCommon Stock outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y)

the Market Price of a share ofCommon Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first

public announcement by the Company or any ofits Affiliates ofthe intent to effect such Pro Rata

Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price ofthe Pro Rata Repurchase, and ofwhich

the denominator shall be the product of(i) the number ofshares ofCommon Stock outstanding

immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number ofshares ofCommon Stock so

repurchased and (ii) the Market Price per share ofCommon Stock on the trading day

immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any ofits Affiliates of

the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. In such event, the number ofshares of Common

Stock issuable upon the exercise ofthis Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by

dividing (x) the product of(1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise ofthis Warrant

before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata

Repurchase giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in

accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, no increase to

the Exercise Price or decrease in the number ofShares issuable upon exercise ofthis Warrant

shall be made pursuant to this Section I3(D).

(E) Business Combinations. In case of any Business Combination or reclassifIcation

ofCommon Stock (other than a reclassification ofCommon Stock referred to in Section 13(A)),

the Warrantholder's right to receive Shares upon exercise ofthis Warrant shall be converted into

the right to exercise this Warrant to acquire the number ofshares ofstock or other securities or

property (including cash) which the Common Stock issuable (at the time ofsuch Business

Combination or reclassification) upon exercise ofthis Warrant immediately prior to such

10
Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon

consummation ofsuch Business Combination or reclassification; and in any such case, if

necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter ofthe

Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably

be, to the WarranthoIder's right to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares ofstock Of

other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph. In determining the kind and amount of

stock, securities or the property receivable upon exercise ofthis Warrant following the

consummation ofsuch Business Combination, if the holders ofCommon Stock have the right to

elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation ofsuch Business

Combination, then the consideration that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive upon

exercise shall be deemed to be the types and amounts of consideration received by the m~jority

of all holders ofthe shares of common stock that affirmatively make an election (or of all such

holders ifnone make an election). .

(F) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this

Section 13 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (I/IOth) of a cent or to the nearest onehundredth (Ill OOth) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision ofthis Section 13 to the

contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into

which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made ifthe amount ofsuch adjustment would be less

than $0.01 or one-tenth (I1lOth) of a share ofCommon Stock, but any such amount shall be

Page 201"4

Committees thereof; and

(viii) such other documents, instruments and certificates as J have deemed necessary as

a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

In the examination of the documents referred to above, I have assumed the genuineness of all

signatures, the legal capacity of all individual signatories, the authenticity of all documents

submitted to me as originals, the confom1ity to original documents of all documents submitted to

me as copies, the authenticity ofsuch original documents and the completeness and accuracy of

the corporate records ofthe Company.

Insofar as the opinions expressed in this letter relate to factual matters, I have relied, with your

pennission. upon certificates, statements and representations of officers and other representatives

ofthe Company and its wholly owned sllbsidialy, State Street Bank and Trust Company. Jhave

not searched any electronic databases or thc dockets of any court, administrative body or

regulatory or govcmmental agency or any other filing office in any jurisdiction.

For purposes of this opinion, I have assumed that the Agreement has been duly authorized,

executed and delivered by the Treasury, and that the Treasury has all requisite power and

authority to efl'Cct the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. I have also assumed that the

Agreement is the valid and binding obligation ofthe Treasurj and is enforceable against the

Treasury in accordance with its terms. I do not render any opinion as to the application of any

federal or state law or regulation to the power, authority or competence of any party to the

Agreement other than the Company.

My opinions set forth below are qualified to the extent that they may be subject to or affected by

(i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium. fraudulent conveyance or

similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) statutory or decisional

law concerning recourse by creditors to security in the absence of notice or hearing and (iii)

requirements of good faith, reasonableness and fair dealing, and (iv) general equitable principles.

I express no opinion as to the availability of any equitable or specific remedy upon any breach of

any of the agreements as to which I am opining herein, or any of the agreements, documents or

obligations referred to therein, or to the successful assertion of any equitable defenses, inasmuch

discretion of a court. I am expressing no opinion herein as to the enforceability of Section 4.5(g)

to or construed to waive any right ofthe Company, (ii) to the cffcct that rights and remedies are

not exclusive. that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or

\vith any other right or remedy and does not preclude recourse to one or more other rights or

remedies, (iii) relating to the el"tect of invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the

ofsuch Certificate and limited accordingly. I express no opinion as to the tax good standing of

future pcrforn1al1ce by the Company of its obligations under the Agreement and the Warrant will

be identical to the facts and law governing its performance on the date ofthis opinion.

in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

delivered pursuant to the Agreement, the Preferred Shares will be duly and validly
