 REGISTRATION 
 2.1 Mandatory Registration. 
 (a) The Company will file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 registering the Registrable Securities and no securities other
than additional securities held by Investors for resale by April 30, 2010 (the “Required Filing Date”). If Form S-3 is not available at that time, then the Company will file a Registration Statement on such form as is then
available to effect a registration of the Registrable Securities by such date, subject to the consent of the Investors, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 
  


 2 







 (b) To the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder
(including Rule 416 under the Securities Act), the Registration Statement will include the Registrable Securities and such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of the 2010 Convertible
Senior Notes (i) to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions, or (ii) by reason of changes in the conversion price of the 2010 Convertible Senior Notes in accordance with the terms thereof.

 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the payment of the Late Payments
pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, if the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of
securities by or on behalf of the Company, or in any other manner, such that the Staff or the SEC do not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and used for resales in a manner that does not constitute such an offering
and that permits the continuous resale at the market by the Investors participating therein (or as otherwise may be acceptable to each Investor) without being named therein as “underwriters,” then the Company shall reduce the
amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement by all Investors to such amount as the Staff and the SEC will permit for such Registration Statement to become effective without such Investors being so
named. In making such reduction, the Company shall reduce the amount of Registrable Securities to be included by all Investors on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Registrable Securities otherwise required to be included for each
Investor) unless the inclusion of Registrable Securities by a particular Investor or a particular set of Investors are resulting in the Staff or the SEC’s “by or on behalf of the Company” offering position, in which event the
Registrable Securities held by such Investor or set of Investors shall be the only Registrable Securities subject to reduction (and if by a set of Investors on a pro rata basis by such Investors or on such other basis as would result in the
exclusion of the least amount of Registrable Securities by all such Investors). In addition, if the Staff or the SEC requires any Investor seeking to sell Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this
Agreement to be specifically identified as an “underwriter” in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and such Investor does not consent to being so named in such Registration Statement, then,
in each such case, the Company shall reduce the total amount of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of such Investor, to such amount as the Staff or the SEC will permit without requiring such identification. In the
event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, an affected Investor shall have the right to require, upon delivery of a written request to the Company signed by such Investor, the Company to file a
Registration Statement within 30 days of such request (subject to any restrictions imposed by Rule 415 or required by the Staff or the SEC) for resale of Registrable Securities by such Investor in a manner reasonably acceptable to such
Investor, and the Company shall following such request cause to be and keep effective such Registration Statement in the same manner as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement for Registration Statements hereunder, in each case until
such time as: (i) all Registrable Securities held by such Investor have been registered and sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Investor, or

  

 3 







 
(ii) the Registrable Securities may be immediately sold without registration and without restriction (including without limitation as to manner of sale volume by each holder thereof) as to the
number of Registrable Securities to be sold, pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise (it being understood that the special demand right under this sentence may be exercised by an Investor multiple times and with respect to limited amounts of
Registrable Securities in order to permit the resale thereof by such Investor as contemplated above). 
 2.2 Effectiveness of
the Registration Statement. 
 (a) The Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement contemplated by
Section 2.1 to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after filing, and in any event no later than the 90th day after the Required Filing Date (the “Required Effective Date”). If the SEC takes the position that
under Rule 415 of the Securities Act, the amount of Registrable Securities needs to be reduced to clear the SEC review, the Investors shall agree to reduce their Registrable Securities to be registered pro rata to meet the SEC requirement with the
understanding the Company shall promptly file another Registration Statement to register the Registrable Securities not registered at a time when such Registration Statement is allowed. 
 (b) The Company’s best efforts will include, but not be limited to, promptly responding to all comments received from the staff of the
SEC. If the Company receives notification from the SEC that the Registration Statement will receive no action or review from the SEC, then the Company will cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such SEC
notification. 
 (c) Once the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company will cause the Registration
Statement to remain effective throughout the Registration Period, except as permitted under Section 3.1. 
 2.3 Payments
by the Company. If (i) at any time after effectiveness of the Registration Statement, sales cannot be made thereunder during the Registration Period for any reason (including any suspension of the use of the Registration Statement under
Section 3.6 hereof) for a period of more than 10 consecutive business days, or 30 days in the aggregate, during any 12-month period or (ii) the Common Stock is not listed on a National Securities Exchange or included for quotation on the
OTC Bulletin Board for more than an aggregate of 10 business days in any 12-month period, then the Company will thereafter make a payment (by wire transfer or check) to each Investor as partial compensation for such delay. The amount of the payment
made to each Investor will be equal to 0.5% of the Outstanding Principal Amount (as hereinafter defined) for the each month that sales cannot be made under the effective Registration Statement or the Common Stock is not listed on a National
Securities Exchange or included for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, continuing through the date that sales can be made under the effective Registration Statement or the Common Stock is listed on a National Securities Exchange or included for
quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. The term “Outstanding Principal Amount” for purposes of computing the amount of payment to be made to an Investor under Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 shall mean the sum of (x) the
number of Initial Shares that are Restricted Securities held by such Investor multiplied by the Exchange Price (the

  

 4 







 
“Outstanding Exchange Stock Amount”), (y) the principal amount of the then-outstanding 2010 Convertible Senior Notes that are Restricted Securities held by such Investor
(the “Outstanding Note Amount”), and (z) in the case of Common Shares or other Registrable Securities held by such Investor issued upon conversion of 2010 Convertible Senior Notes that are Restricted Securities, the principal
amount of the 2010 Convertible Senior Notes from which such Common Shares or other Registrable Securities were converted (the “Outstanding Note Conversion Amount”). Such payments will be prorated on a daily basis for partial months
and will be paid to each Investor by wire transfer or check within five business days following the end of each month. 
 2.4
Effect of Late Filing or Effectiveness. If (a) the Company fails to file the Registration Statement by the time required by Section 2.1 (a “Filing Failure”); (b) the Registration Statement required
pursuant to Section 2.1 above has not been declared effective by the Required Effective Date for any reason, including, without limitation, by reason of the inability of the Company to utilize a particular registration statement form that would
provide for a shorter time to effectiveness, the failure by the Company to file its reports required under the Exchange Act or the Company’s failure to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.2(b) (an
“Effectiveness Failure”), then the Company shall pay to each Investor, for each day of such Filing Failure or Effectiveness Failure, an amount equal to (i) the product of (A) such Investor’s Outstanding Exchange Stock
Amount and (B) the quotient obtained by dividing 6% by 360 (the “Exchange Stock Late Payments”), plus (ii) the product of (A) such Investor’s Outstanding Note Amount plus such Investor’s Outstanding Note
Conversion Amount and (B) the Exchange Note Late Payment Quotient (as defined below) (the “Exchange Note Late Payments” and together with the Exchange Stock Late Payments, the “Late Payments”). The Late
Payments will be paid to the Investors by wire transfer or check within five business days after the earlier of (i) the end of each month following the Required Filing Date or Required Effective Date or (ii) the effective date of the
Registration Statement. Nothing herein limits any Investor’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to file a Registration Statement on or prior to the Required Filing Date or to have it declared effective by the SEC on
or prior to the Required Effective Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 The
“Exchange Note Late Payment Quotient” shall mean: (a) for the first 30 days of such Filing Failure or Effectiveness Failure, the quotient obtained by dividing 3% by 360, (b) for the period from the 31st day to 60th day of such Filing Failure or Effectiveness Failure, the quotient obtained by dividing 4.2% by 360,
(c) for all days following the 60th day of such
Filing Failure or Effectiveness Failure, the quotient obtained by dividing 6% by 360. 
 2.5 Piggyback Registrations.

 (a) If, at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period, the Company decides to register any of its securities
for its own account or for the account of others, then the Company will promptly give the Investors written notice thereof and will use its best efforts to include in such registration all or any part of the Registrable Securities requested by such
Investors to be included therein (excluding any Registrable Securities previously included in a Registration Statement). This requirement does not apply to Company registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or their equivalents relating to equity securities
to be issued solely in connection with

  

 5 







 
an acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans. Each Investor must give its request for registration under
this paragraph to the Company in writing within 15 days after receipt from the Company of notice of such pending registration. If the registration for which the Company gives notice is a public offering involving an underwriting, the Company will so
advise the Investors as part of the above-described written notice. In that event, if the managing underwriter(s) of the public offering impose a limitation (which may be a complete exclusion) on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, such limitation would be necessary to effect an orderly public distribution or reduce the number of securities which could be sold by the Company, then the
Company will be obligated to include only such limited portion, if any, of the Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investors have requested inclusion hereunder. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities will be made pro rata among all
holders of the Company’s securities seeking to include shares of Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock sought to be included by those holders. However, the Company will not exclude any Registrable Securities unless
the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities the holders of which are not entitled by right to inclusion of securities in such Registration Statement or are not entitled pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities. If any
Investor or other person does not agree to the terms of such underwriting or otherwise fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, such Investor or other person shall be excluded therefrom upon written notice from the Company or underwriter.
Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration. 
 (b) No right to registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.5 limits in any way the registration required under Section 2.1 above. The obligations of the Company under this Section 2.5 expire upon the
expiration of the Registration Period. 
 (c) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration
initiated by it under this Section 2.5 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Investor has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the
Company. 
 2.6 Eligibility to use Form S-3. The Company represents and warrants that it meets the requirements
for the use of Form S-3 for registration of the resale by the Investors of the Registrable Securities. The Company will use its best efforts to file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC in a timely manner so as to preserve
its eligibility for the use of Form S-3. 
 ARTICLE III 
 ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY 
 3.1
Continued Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The Company will keep the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities effective under Rule 415 at all times during the Registration Period. In the event that the number of
shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company will (if permitted) amend the Registration Statement or file

  

 6 







 
a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities. The Company will file such amendment or new
Registration Statement as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the necessity therefor arises (based upon the market price of the Common Stock and other relevant factors on which the Company reasonably elects to
rely). The Company will use its best efforts to cause such amendment or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as is practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than 90 days after the date on which the Company
reasonably first determines (or reasonably should have determined) the need therefor. 
 3.2 Accuracy of Registration
Statement. Any Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) filed by the Company covering Registrable Securities will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. The Company will promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to permit sales pursuant to the Registration Statement at all times during
the Registration Period, and, during such period, will comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement until the termination of the
Registration Period, or if earlier, until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the Registration Statement.

 3.3 Furnishing Documentation. The Company will furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in a
Registration Statement, and to its legal counsel, (a) promptly after each document is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC or received by the Company, one copy of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement and
any amendments thereto, each preliminary prospectus and final prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto; and, in the case of a Registration Statement filed under Section 2.1 above, each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to
the SEC and each item of correspondence from, or order issued by, the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any item thereof which contains information for which the Company has
sought confidential treatment); and (b) a number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus (if any), and all amendments and supplements thereto, and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor. The Company will promptly notify in writing each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement of the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment. 
 3.4 Additional Obligations. The Company will use its best
efforts to (a) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each Investor who holds (or has the right to hold) Registrable Securities
being offered reasonably requests, (b) prepare and file in those jurisdictions any amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such

  

 7 







 
registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain their effectiveness during the Registration Period, (c) take any other actions necessary to maintain such registrations and
qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (d) take any other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company is not required, in connection such obligations, to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3.4, (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any
such jurisdiction, (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction, (iv) provide any undertakings that cause material expense or burden to the Company, or (v) make any change in its charter or bylaws, which
in each case the Board of Directors of the Company determines to be contrary to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. 
 3.5 Underwritten Offerings. If the Investors who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities being offered in an offering pursuant to a Registration Statement or any amendment or
supplement thereto under this Agreement select underwriters reasonably acceptable to the Company for such offering, the Company will enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form including,
without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the managing underwriter of such offering, but the Company will not be obligated to pay any fees or expenses of such underwriters related to the offering. 

3.6 Suspension of Registration. 
 (a) The Company will notify (by telephone and also by facsimile and reputable overnight courier) each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement of the
happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement as then in effect includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state 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. The Company will make such notification as promptly as practicable after the Company becomes aware of the
event (but in no event will the Company disclose to any Investor any of the facts or circumstances regarding the event), will promptly (but in no event more than ten business days) prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or amendment to the
Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and will deliver a number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request. The Company will use its best efforts to keep the
length of any such suspension to as short a period as is practicable given the then existing circumstances and may so defer or suspend the use of the Registration Statement no more than two times in any 18-month period, and provided, further,
that, after deferring or suspending the use of the Registration Statement, the Company may not again defer or suspend the use of the Registration Statement until a period of thirty days has elapsed after resumption of the use of the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Exchange Agreement, if the use of the Registration Statement is suspended by the Company, the Company will promptly give notice of the suspension to all Investors whose
securities are covered by the Registration Statement, and will promptly notify each such Investor as soon as the use of the Registration Statement may be resumed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the

  

 8 







 
Exchange Agreement, the Company will cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to receipt of notice of such suspension and for which such Investor has not yet settled unless, in the opinion of
Company’s legal counsel, such delivery without legends would be in violation of applicable securities laws and/or otherwise subject the Company to liability. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.6(b)), at any time after the Effective Date of the applicable Registration Statement, the
Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, in the best
interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “Grace Period”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investors in writing of the existence of material,
non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to the Investors) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and
(ii) notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed ten (10) consecutive days and during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period such
Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of thirty (30) days and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period; provided, that no Grace Period may exist
during the first sixty (60) Business Days after the Effective Date of the applicable Registration Statement. For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors
receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3.6(a)
hereof shall not be applicable during any Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by Section 3.6(a) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, nonpublic information is
no longer applicable. 
 (c) Subject to the Company’s rights under Section 3.1, the Company will use its best efforts
to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement and, if such an order is issued, will use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time and will
promptly notify each Investor that holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof. 
 3.7 Review by the Investors. The Company will permit each Investor’s legal counsel to review the Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration or effectiveness thereof) a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC, and will not file any document in a form to which such counsel reasonably objects
unless such counsel fails to notify the Company of his or her objection within 3 business days after receipt of the proposed Registration Statement, and unless otherwise required by law in the

  

 9 







 
opinion of the Company’s counsel. The sections of any such Registration Statement including information with respect to the Investors, the Investors’ beneficial ownership of securities
of the Company or the Investors’ intended method of disposition of Registrable Securities must conform to the information provided to the Company by each of the Investors. 
 3.8 Information. The Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but not later than 90 days
after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in a form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a 12-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal
quarter next following the effective date of the Registration Statement. 
 3.9 Comfort Letter; Legal Opinion. If the
Investors request an underwritten offering in accordance with Section 3.5 above, then, at the request of the underwriters for the offering, on the date that Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with
the Registration Statement, the Company will furnish to the Investors and the underwriters (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants, in form and substance as is customarily given by
independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters; and (ii) an opinion, dated such date, from counsel representing the Company for purposes of the Registration Statement,
in form and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters and Investors. 
 3.10 Due Diligence; Confidentiality. 
 (a) The Company will make available for inspection by any Investor whose
Registrable Securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Registration Statement, and any attorney or accountant retained by any such Investor or underwriter
(collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as each Inspector reasonably deems necessary to
enable the Inspector to exercise its due diligence responsibility in connection with or related to the contemplated offering. The Company will cause its officers, directors and employees to supply all information that any Inspector may reasonably
request for purposes of performing such due diligence. 
 (b) Each Inspector will hold in confidence, and will not make any
disclosure (except to an Investor) of, any Records or other information that the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is
necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, (iii) the
information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement (to the knowledge of the relevant Inspector), (iv) the Records or other information was developed
independently by an Inspector without breach of this Agreement, (v) the information was known to the Inspector before receipt of such information from the Company, or (vi) the information was disclosed to the Inspector by a third party not


  

 10 







 
under an obligation of confidentiality. The Company is not required to disclose any confidential information in the Records to any Inspector unless and until such Inspector has entered into a
confidentiality agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company) with the Company with respect thereto, substantially in the form of this Section 3.10. Each Investor will, upon learning that disclosure of Records containing
confidential information is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to
prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein will be deemed to limit the Investor’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner that is otherwise consistent with applicable
laws and regulations. 
 (c) The Company will hold in confidence, and will not make any disclosure of, information concerning an
Investor provided to the Company under this Agreement unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, or any exchange listing or similar rules and regulations, (ii) the disclosure of
such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement or (v) such Investor consents to the form and content of any such
disclosure. If the Company learns that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, the Company will give prompt notice to such Investor prior
to making such disclosure and allow such Investor, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information. 
 3.11 Listing. The Company will (i) cause all of the Common Shares covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each
National Securities Exchange on the Common Stock is then listed, if any, if the listing of such Common Shares is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) to the extent the Common Stock is not then listed on a National Securities
Exchange, use its best efforts to secure the quotation of all of the Common Shares covered by each Registration Statement on the OTC Bulletin Board and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, arrange for at least two market makers,
meeting the applicable FINRA requirements, to display two-sided markets for the Common Stock. 
 3.12 Transfer Agent;
Registrar. The Company will provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement. 
 3.13 Notes/Share Certificates. The Company will cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being sold and with the
managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of notes or certificates (in each case not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and
will enable such notes or certificates to be in such denominations or amounts as the case may be, and registered in such names as the Investors or the managing underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request. 
  

 11 







 3.14 Plan of Distribution. Subject to Section 3.17 hereof, at the request of an
Investor holding an interest of the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the
Registration Statement, and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement, as may be necessary in order to change the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement. 
 3.15 Securities Laws Compliance. The Company will comply with all applicable laws related to any Registration Statement relating to
the sale of Registrable Securities and to offering and sale of securities and with all applicable rules and regulations of governmental authorities in connection therewith (including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC). 
 3.16 Further Assurances. The Company will take all other reasonable
actions as any Investor or the underwriters, if any, may reasonably request to expedite and facilitate disposition by such Investor of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. 
 3.17 No Additional Selling Securityholders. The Company will not, and will not agree to, allow the holders of any securities of the
Company to include any of their securities in any Registration Statement under Section 2.1 hereof, or any amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3.2 hereof, without the consent of the holders of a majority the Registrable Securities
(determined on an as-if-converted basis). 
 ARTICLE IV 
 OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS 
 4.1 Investor
Information. As a condition to the obligations of the Company to complete any registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Investor, such Investor will furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as is reasonably required by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities. At least 10
business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement for any registration under this Agreement, the Company will notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from that Investor if the Investor elects
to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. If, within three business days prior to the filing date, the Company has not received the requested information from an Investor, then the Company may file the
Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of that Investor. Any and all information provided by the Investor pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be true, accurate, correct and complete in all material respects. 

4.2 Further Assurances. Each Investor will cooperate with the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company, in connection with
the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from the Registration
Statement. 
  

 12 







 4.3 Suspension of Sales. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening
of any event of the kind described in Section 3.6, each Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until (i) it receives copies of
a supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.6 or (ii) the Company advises the Investor that a suspension of sales under Section 3.6 has terminated. If so directed by the Company, each Investor will deliver to the
Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in the Investor’s possession (other than a limited number of file copies) of the prospectus covering such Registrable
Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
 4.4 Underwritten Offerings. 
 (a) If Investors holding a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities being registered (with the approval of a majority in interest
of the Investors) elect to engage the services of an underwriter, each Investor will enter into and perform such Investor’s obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary
indemnification and contribution obligations, with the managing underwriter of such offering, and will take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, unless such
Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement. 
 (b) Without limiting any Investor’s rights under Section 2.1 hereof, no Investor may participate in any underwritten distribution hereunder unless such Investor (i) agrees to sell such
Investor’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Investors entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney,
indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, and (iii) agrees to pay its pro rata share of all underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees and expenses
of investment bankers and any manager or managers of such underwriting, and legal expenses of the underwriter, applicable with respect to its Registrable Securities, in each case to the extent not payable by the Company under the terms of this
Agreement. 
 ARTICLE V 
 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION 
 The Company will bear all reasonable expenses,
other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Articles II and III of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications
fees, printers and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of each Investor’s legal counsel to review the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements
thereto pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof. 
  

 13 







 ARTICLE VI 
 INDEMNIFICATION 
 In the event that any Registrable
Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement: 
 6.1 To the extent permitted by law, the Company
will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor that holds such Registrable Securities, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Investors, any directors, officers or advisors of such Investor or such underwriter and any person who
controls such Investor or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”) against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (joint or several) (collectively,
and together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened in respect thereof, “Claims”) to which any of them become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, any post-effective amendment thereof or any
prospectus included therein: (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the prospectus (as it may be amended or supplemented) or the
omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (c) any violation or alleged violation
by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other law, including without limitation any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder (the matters in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c) being, collectively,
“Violations”). The Company will reimburse the Investors and each such underwriter or controlling person and each such other Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal
fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6.1 (i) does not
apply to Claims arising out of or based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by an Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof; and (ii) does not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if
such settlement is made without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnity obligation will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Indemnified Persons and will survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors under Article IX of this Agreement. 
 6.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor will indemnify and hold harmless, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth in Section 6.1 above, the Company, each
of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company

  

 14 







 
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and any other shareholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and any of its directors and officers and any
person who controls such shareholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each an “Indemnified Person”) against any Claim to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6.3, such Investor will promptly reimburse the Company and each such other Indemnified Person, any legal or other
expenses (promptly as such expenses are incurred and due and payable) reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. However, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.2 does not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, and no Investor will be liable under this Agreement (including this
Section 6.2 and Article VII) for the amount of any Claim that exceeds the net proceeds actually received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. This indemnity will remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party and will survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors under Article IX of this Agreement. 
 6.3 Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Article VI of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such Indemnified Person will, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Article VI, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying
party may participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly given notice, assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties
and the Indemnified Person. In that case, the indemnifying party will diligently pursue such defense. If, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between the Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any
such action including the Indemnified Person, and such Indemnified Person reasonably determines that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying
party, then the Indemnified Person is entitled to assume such defense and may retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party (subject to the restrictions on settlement under Section 6.1 or
Section 6.2, as applicable). The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action does not relieve an indemnifying party of any liability to an Indemnified Person under
this Article VI, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Article VI will be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course
of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable. Each Indemnified Person shall furnish such

  

 15 







 
information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Person may reasonably request in writing and shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and
litigation resulting therefrom. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 CONTRIBUTION 
 To the extent that any indemnification
provided for herein is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party will make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Article VI to the fullest extent permitted by law. However,
(a) no contribution will be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Article VI, (b) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (c) contribution
(together with any indemnification or other obligations under this Agreement) by any seller of Registrable Securities will be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING 
 In order to make available to the Investors the
benefits of Rule 144 or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company will: 
 (a) Use its best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner, and make and keep available, all reports and other documents required of
the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing and availability of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

 (b) Furnish to each Investor who so requests, so long as such Investor holds 2010 Convertible Senior Notes or Registrable
Securities, promptly upon the Investor’s request, (i) a written statement by the Company regarding whether it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the
most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents filed by the Company with the SEC and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities
pursuant to Rule 144 without registration. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS 
 The rights of the
Investors hereunder, including the right to have the Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, will be automatically assigned by the Investors

  

 16 







 
to transferees or assignees of all or any portion of the Investors rights under the Exchange Agreement, the 2010 Convertible Senior Notes or Registrable Securities, but only if (a) the
Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (b) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such
transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (c) after such transfer or
assignment, the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (d) at or before the time the Company received the written notice contemplated by
clause (b) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein, (e) such transfer is made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange
Agreement, and (f) the transferee is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 under the Exchange Act. Any transferee or assignee of an Investor under this Article IX shall be deemed an “Investor” for
all purposes of this Agreement, and shall be entitled to all rights of, and subject to all obligations (including indemnification obligations) of, an Investor hereunder; provided, however, that such a transferee will not be eligible to be
named in a Registrations Statement or an amendment thereto until such transferee has completed a Questionnaire of Selling Securityholders in the form of Exhibit A and delivered it to the Company. 
 ARTICLE X 
 AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS 
 This Agreement may be amended and the obligations hereunder may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and Investors holding a majority (determined on an as-if-converted basis) of the Registrable Securities (but not
including any Investor who is not affected by such amendment or waiver). Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Article X is binding upon each Investor (and each future holder of all such Registrable Securities) and the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or waiver will retroactively affect any Investor without its consent, or will prospectively adversely affect any Investor who no longer owns any 2010 Convertible Senior Notes or Registrable
Securities without its consent. Neither Article VI nor Article VII hereof may be amended or waived in a manner adverse to an Investor without its consent. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 11.1 Conflicting Instructions. A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such person or
entity owns of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company will act upon the basis of
instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities. 
  

 17 







 11.2 Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms of
this Agreement will be given and deemed received as set forth in Section 7.7 of the Exchange Agreement. 
 11.3
Waiver. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, does not operate as a waiver thereof. 
 11.4 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. 
 11.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision will be deemed modified in order to conform to such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof that may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law will not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. 
 11.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Exchange
Agreement, the 2010 Indenture and the 2010 Convertible Senior Notes (including all schedules and exhibits thereto) (the “Transaction Documents”) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 11.7 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the requirements of
Article IX hereof, this Agreement inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, including, without limitation, Article IX, the rights
of an Investor hereunder are assignable to and exercisable by a bona fide pledgee of the Registrable Securities in connection with an Investor’s margin or brokerage accounts. 
 11.8 Use of Pronouns. All pronouns refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may require.

 11.9 Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement
and do not affect its interpretation. 
 11.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which is deemed an original but all of which constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other party hereto by facsimile transmission, and facsimile signatures are
binding on the parties hereto. 
 11.11 Further Assurances. Each party will do and perform, or cause to be done
and performed, all such further acts and things, and will execute and deliver all other agreements,

  

 18 







 
certificates, instruments and documents, as another 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. 
 11.12 Consents. All consents and other determinations to be made by the Investors
pursuant to this Agreement will be made by the Investors holding a majority in interest of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities, determined as if all 2010 Convertible Senior Notes then outstanding had been converted into or exercised for
Registrable Securities. 
 11.13 No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement is 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. 
 11.14 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Other than as specifically provided herein, this Agreement is intended to inure to the benefit of the parties hereto only, and no other party shall have any rights, express or implied, by reason of
this Agreement. 
 11.15 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, Etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action
required or permitted hereby shall be a Saturday, Sunday, a nationally recognized holiday, or a state holiday in the State of Minnesota, then such action may be taken on the next succeeding business day. 
 11.16 Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any of the Transaction
Documents 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 under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or
in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant 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 Document. 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 the 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. The Company has elected to
provide all Investors with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Investors.

 EXHIBIT A 
 FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC. 
 (the “Company”) 
 QUESTIONNAIRE TO THE SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS 
 This Questionnaire is to be completed, signed and faxed or emailed to                      at
                     or                     , by
the person or entity indicated on the cover of this Questionnaire (the “Selling Securityholder”) whose securities of the Company are being registered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3. Retain a duplicate copy for your files.
If you do not return the Questionnaire by the foregoing deadline, your shares may not be included in the Registration Statement. 
 If you are uncertain about any of the following questions as they apply to your situation, please supply all relevant facts. Include separate sheets with details if necessary. If you have any questions, please call the Company’s
counsel, W. Mark Young, Esquire, at (713) 220-4323. 
 Please notify me immediately if any of the information disclosed in
your answers changes. Please answer all questions. Indicate “none” or “not applicable” when appropriate. Information should be given as of the date of this Questionnaire, even if previously reported to the Company. 
 IN ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS, PLEASE REFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS QUESTIONNAIRE. 
 Name of Selling Securityholder:

 Instructions and Definitions 
 The following instructions and definitions are furnished to aid you in preparing your answers to this Questionnaire. 
  

	 	1.	For purposes of this Questionnaire the term “Company” means Flotek Industries, Inc. 

  

	 	2.	“Beneficial” ownership. Beneficial ownership shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. The SEC has taken the position that if you have sole or shared voting power or dispositive power or the ability to acquire either sole or shared voting or dispositive power of a security within 60 days, you are the beneficial owner of that
security, even though that security is not registered in your name. Thus, for example, you could be the beneficial owner of securities in a trust or estate of which you are a trustee or executor, or of which you are one of the trustees or executors,
or you could be the beneficial owner of securities which you have a right to purchase. 

  

	 	3.	The term “affiliate” for purposes of this Questionnaire means any person directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controlling, controlled by,
or under common control with the Selling Securityholder. 

  

	 	4.	The term “broker” for the purposes of this Questionnaire means any person engaged in the business of effecting transactions in securities for the account of
others. 

  

	 	5.	The term “dealer” for the purposes of this Questionnaire means any person engaged in the business of buying or selling securities for such person’s own
account through a broker or otherwise. 

  

	 	6.	The term “FINRA Member” for the purposes of this Questionnaire means any individual, partnership, corporation or other legal entity that is a broker or dealer
admitted to membership in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA Manual, By-laws Article I, Definitions) 

  

	 	7.	 The term “control”(including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”) for the
purposes of this Questionnaire means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power, either individually or with others, to direct or cause the direction of the



  

 A-2 








	 	 
management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. (Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended)



  

	 	8.	The term “person associated with a member of FINRA” for the purposes of this Questionnaire means every sole proprietor, partner, officer, director, branch
manager or executive representative of any FINRA Member, or any natural person occupying a similar status or performing similar functions, or any natural person engaged in the investment banking or securities business who is directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by a FINRA Member, whether or not such person is registered or exempt from registration with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. pursuant to its bylaws. (FINRA Manual, By-laws Article I, Definitions)


  

	 	9.	The term “underwriter or a related person” for the purposes of this Questionnaire means, with respect to a proposed offering, underwriters, underwriters’
