authority with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any audit or examination which, by application of similar principles, could reasonably be expected to result in a proposed material adjustment to the liability for Taxes for any

or any of its Subsidiaries is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or request for information from any such authority. Neither the Company nor any of its

Subsidiaries consistent with current and historical practice and as presently contemplated to be conducted. Except as indicated in the preceding sentence, this Section 3.16 does not relate to the real property or Intellectual Property of the

Investor of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by such Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby has been duly authorized on the part of such Investor. The Transaction Documents to which such

of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption

Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the Notes without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the principal exchange or market in which the Common Stock is listed. The Company agrees that it
will not lower the price at which any Common Stock Equivalents or Class B Equivalents outstanding on the Closing Date, after giving effect to (1) the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Documents, (2) the WIN Merger and (3) the Merger,

the Board as follows: (a) if the number of directors of the Board is six or less, the holders of the Notes shall be entitled to elect two additional directors to the Board; and (b) if the number of directors of the Board is greater than six, the

make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, Section 4.4 hereof; provided that an Investor and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of

Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Indemnified
Party) or (D) such Indemnified Party is a defendant in an action or proceeding which is also brought against the Indemnifying Party and reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party
which are not available to the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, without the
consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Indemnifying Party shall be permitted to consent to entry of any judgment with respect to, or to effect the settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened
action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim), unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (1) includes
an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim, (2) does not include a 

  

 -43- 








 
statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party, and (3) does not provide for any action
on the part of any party other than the payment of money damages which is to be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. 
  
 Section 8.3 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8.1 from the Indemnifying Party for any reason is unavailable to
(other than by reason of exceptions provided therein), or is insufficient to hold harmless, an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Claim, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection
with the actions which resulted in such Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. If, however, the foregoing allocation is not permitted by applicable law, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults but also the relative benefits of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. 
  
 The parties hereto agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.3 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Claim referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3, any legal or other fees, costs or
expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
  
 Section 8.4 Other Indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any Indemnified Party may have pursuant to law or contract. 
  
 Section 8.5 Indemnification Payments. The indemnification and
contribution required by this Section 8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of any investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or any expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred; provided
that if a final nonappealable determination is made that the party receiving such expense payments was not entitled to such payments pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII, then the party receiving such expense payments shall return
such expense payments to the party that made such payments.

 ARTICLE IX 
  

Termination 
  
 Section 9.1 Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred on or before ten (10) Business Days from the date hereof due to the
Company’s or any Investor’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Article V and Article VI above (the party failing to satisfy the conditions set forth in Article V or Article VI, the “Failing
Party”, and the party that has satisfied the conditions set forth in Article V or Article VI, the “Non-Failing Party”) (and the Non-Failing Party’s failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the
Non-Failing Party or Parties shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Failing Party at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other party; provided, however, this if this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Article IX and the Company is the Failing Party and the Investor(s) are the Non-Failing Party or Parties, the Company shall remain obligated to reimburse the Investors for the expenses described in
Section 10.1 below. 
  
 ARTICLE X 
  
 Miscellaneous 
  
 Section 10.1 Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse, on the
Closing Date, for the fees and disbursements of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, in an amount not to exceed $245,000, which amount may be withheld by
Highbridge International LLC from its Purchase Price at the Closing. 
  
 Section 10.2 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

 Section 10.4 Replacement of Securities.
If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution
therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or
instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities. 
  
 Section 10.5 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; provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the
same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature. 
  
 Section 10.6 Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. 
  
 Section 10.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this
Agreement in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 Section 10.8 Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Investors, the Company, their respective Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, other
than as set forth in the next sentence, including those certain confidentiality agreements (the “Confidentiality Agreements”), entered into in November and December 2004, between the Investors and the Company, and the Transaction
Documents 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 any Investor makes any representation, warranty,
covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely until the date of the Company’s filing of a registration statement with the SEC, the provisions of Section 1 of each of the Confidentiality Agreements
shall remain in full force and effect. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement) issued and issuable hereunder, and any amendment to this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 10.8 shall be binding on all Investors and holders of Securities, as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any approval of an amendment or waiver that increases the 

  

 -47- 








 
Purchase Price to be paid by any Investor or that amends or waives any of the provisions under Article III, Article IV, Sections 7.2, 7.3, 7.10, Article V,
Article VIII, Article IX and Article X shall not be effective as to such Investor without the prior written consent of such Investor. No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the applicable Securities then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a
waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents or holders of Notes, as the case may be. The Company has not, directly or
indirectly, made any agreements with any Investors relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. 
  
 Section 10.9 Successors and Assigns. The Company may not assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities, including by merger or consolidation. An Investor may assign, in its sole
discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to any transferee of Securities, other than a transferee who shall acquire such Securities in a Public Sale. Subject to the preceding,
this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 
  
 Section 10.10 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. 
  
 Section 10.11 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company and the Investors contained in Article III and Article IV
and the agreements and covenants set forth in Article VII, Article VIII, Article IX and Article X shall survive the Closing. Each Investor shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and
covenants hereunder. 
  
 Section 10.12 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. 
  
 Section 10.13 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. 
  
 Section 10.14 Remedies. Each Investor and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted
at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting


  

 -48- 








 
a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.
Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Investors. The Company
therefore agrees that the Investors shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. 
  
 Section 10.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes
a payment or payments to the Investors hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Investors enforce or exercise their 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. 
  
 Section 10.16 Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are
several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor or the breach of any representation or warranty of any other Investor
under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor confirms
that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without
limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
