The name of the issuer is K-V Pharmaceutical Company, a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware (the “Issuer”). The principal offices of the Issuer are located at One Corporate Woods Drive, Bridgeton, MO 63044. This Schedule 13D relates to the Issuer’s Class A common shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Shares”) and 2.5% Contingent Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2033 issued pursuant to that certain indenture (as amended) dated as of May 16, 2003, among the Issuer and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as indenture trustee (the “Convertible Notes”).

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

This Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of Deutsche Bank AG (“DBAG”), a corporation organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and its indirect subsidiary Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI” and, together with DBAG, the “Reporting Persons”), a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware.  DBAG is principally engaged in the provision of financial and related services. DBAG is the largest banking institution in the Federal Republic of Germany and is the parent company of a group consisting of banks, capital market and fund management companies, mortgage banks and property finance companies, installment financing and leasing companies, insurance companies, research and consultancy companies and other companies.  The address of the principal place of business of DBAG is Taunusanlage 12, 60325 Frankfurt am Main, Federal Republic of Germany.  DBSI is a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of DB US Financial Markets Holding Corporation (“DBUSFM”). DBUSFM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Taunus Corporation, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of DBAG.  DBSI is a registered broker-dealer and futures commission merchant engaged in investment banking and financial services business.

The name, present principal occupation or employment (and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted) and citizenship of each director and executive officer, as applicable, of the Reporting Persons is provided in Exhibit 99.6, which is incorporated by reference herein.

During the last five years, neither Reporting Person nor, to the knowledge of either Reporting Person, any of the persons listed in Exhibit 99.6 has (i) been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction such that, as a result of such proceeding, such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activity subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
 
The 621 Class A Shares held by the Reporting Persons and their affiliates were purchased with funds derived from the available working capital and cash on hand of the Reporting Persons and their affiliates.
 
The Convertible Notes held by DBSI were purchased with funds derived from the available working capital and cash on hand of DBSI and its affiliates.
 
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
 
On August 4, 2012, each of the Issuer, K-V Discovery Solutions, Inc., DrugTech Corporation, FP1096, Inc., K-V Generic Pharmaceuticals, Inc., K-V Solutions USA, Inc., Ther-Rx Corporation and Zeratech Technologies USA, Inc. (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”).
 
On May 3, 2013, the Issuer and (i) Capital Ventures International (“CVI”), (ii) Greywolf Capital Overseas Master Fund, Greywolf Capital Partners II LP, and Greywolf Opportunities Fund LLC (collectively, “Greywolf”), (iii) Kingdon Associates, Kingdon Credit Master Fund L.P., Kingdon Family Partnership, L.P., and M. Kingdon Offshore Master Fund L.P. (collectively, “Kingdon”), and (iv) DBSI, solely with respect to the Distressed Products Group thereof (“DBSI-DPG”, and together with CVI, Greywolf and Kingdon, the “Investors”) entered into a Stock Purchase and Backstop Agreement (the “Original Agreement”).  The Original Agreement contemplated, among other things, a financial restructuring of the Issuer and the other Debtors pursuant to a chapter 11 plan of reorganization of the Debtors (the “Restructuring”) pursuant to which: (i) on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Original Agreement, the Investors would purchase directly from the Issuer (the “Direct Purchase Commitment”) in the aggregate 8,250,000 shares of the new common stock of the reorganized Issuer (“New Common Stock”) at a price of $20.00 per share; (ii) holders of Convertible Notes would receive, in full satisfaction of their claims in respect thereof, (A) the opportunity to participate in the rights offering described in clause (iii) below and (B) their pro rata share of 842,697 shares of New Common Stock (the “Convertible Distribution”); (iii) the Issuer would conduct a rights offering pursuant to which holders of Convertible Notes that are “accredited investors” would have the opportunity (pro rata based on their relative holdings of the Convertible Notes) to purchase up to 4,250,000 shares of New Common Stock at a price of $20.00 per share (the “Rights Offering”); (iv) on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Original Agreement, certain of the Investors would purchase any shares of New Common Stock which are not subscribed for in the Rights Offering; (v) on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Original Agreement, the Issuer would issue and deliver to the Investors in the aggregate 702,247 shares of New Common Stock as a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”); and (vi) the proceeds from the Rights Offering and direct purchase would be used to fund cash payments to be made by the Issuer pursuant to the Restructuring, including to make cash payments to holders of the Issuer’s 12% Senior Secured Notes due March 15, 2015 (the “Senior Notes”) in respect thereof.  However, in response to an alternative restructuring plan proposed by Silver Point Finance, LLC (“SilverPoint”), a holder of Senior Notes, the Issuer did not seek the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Original Agreement (without which the Original Agreement was never effective) and did not proceed with the transactions contemplated thereby.
 
Following further negotiations among the Investors and the Issuer, on May 28, 2013, the Investors and the Issuer executed an Amended and Restated Stock Purchase and Backstop Agreement, which amended and restated the Original Agreement in its entirety (the “Amended Agreement”).  The Amended Agreement and the Restructuring contemplated thereby were substantially similar to the Original Agreement and the Restructuring contemplated thereby, except that: (i) the Direct Purchase Commitment was reduced to an aggregate of 3,750,000 shares of New Common Stock; (ii) the Convertible Distribution was increased to 1,093,750 shares of New Common Stock; (iii) the shares of New Common Stock to be offered in the Rights Offering (including shares underlying rights which the Investors agreed to exercise) were increased to 10,000,000 shares of New Common Stock; (iv) the Investors agreed to exercise all of their rights to purchase shares of New Common Stock in connection with the Rights Offering; and (v) the shares issuable as a Commitment Fee increased to an aggregate of 781,250 shares of New Common Stock.  However, in response to further proposals from SilverPoint, the Issuer did not seek the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Amended Agreement (without which the Amended Agreement was never effective) and did not proceed with the transactions contemplated thereby.
 
Following further negotiations among the Investors, the Issuer and SilverPoint, on June 6, 2013, the Investors entered into the following agreements: (i) a Second Amended and Restated Stock Purchase and Backstop Agreement (the “SPBA”), dated as of June 6, 2013, by and among the Issuer and the Investors; and (ii) a Plan Support Agreement (the “PSA”), dated as of June 6, 2013, by and among the Investors and certain other holders of Convertible Notes signatory thereto (collectively, the “Ad Hoc Group”). In addition, on June 21, 2013, the Investors entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SP Agreement”), dated as of June 21, 2013, by and among the Investors, SilverPoint and the Issuer, in connection with a settlement among the Issuer, SilverPoint, and the Investors with respect to the Restructuring. The summaries of the SPBA, the PSA and the SP Agreement below are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the SPBA, the PSA and the SP Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3 respectively and are incorporated herein by reference. All capitalized terms not herein defined are defined in the SPBA. In connection with the execution of the SP Agreement, the Chapter 11 Plan (as defined in the SPBA) and the form of the New Stockholders Agreement (as defined in the SPBA) (which were both exhibits to the SPBA) were amended with the consent of the Investors and the Issuer, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4 and Exhibit 99.5 respectively and are incorporated herein by reference. The SPBA, the Chapter 11 Plan (as defined in the SPBA), the PSA and the SP Agreement contemplate a Restructuring supported by each of the Investors, the Debtors, the Ad Hoc Group and SilverPoint.
 
The SPBA provides, among other things, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein, that the Restructuring shall be on terms substantially similar to the terms set forth in the Amended Agreement except: (i) the shares to be offered in the Rights Offering (including shares underlying rights which the Investors, and members of the Ad Hoc Group, agree to exercise) were increased to 11,900,000 shares of New Common Stock; and (ii) the Direct Purchase Commitment was further reduced to an aggregate of 1,850,000 shares of New Common Stock.  The SPBA contemplates that at the effective time of the Restructuring the Issuer, the Investors and certain other holders of New Common Stock will enter into a stockholders agreement in the form and substance attached as Exhibit D to the SPBA, providing for, among other things, board representation, transfer restrictions, drag-along and tag-along rights and preemptive rights.
 
The PSA provides, among other things, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein, that: (i) the Ad Hoc Group will support the Restructuring and the confirmation and implementation of the Chapter 11 Plan (as defined in the SPBA); (ii) each Ad Hoc Group member will purchase certain shares of New Common Stock which are not subscribed for in the Rights Offering (subject to a cap as set forth in the PSA); and (iii) upon the Closing (as defined in the SPBA), such Ad Hoc Group Member shall be entitled to receive a portion of the Commitment Fee shares otherwise payable to the Investors under the SPBA.
 
The SP Agreement provides, among other things, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein, that upon the Closing contemplated by the SPBA: (i) the Issuer shall sell to SilverPoint, in lieu of to the Investors, a number of Direct Subscription Shares set forth in the SP Agreement; (ii) SilverPoint shall, to the extent Investors are required to purchase any Unsubscribed Shares (as defined in the SPBA) pursuant to the SPBA, purchase such Unsubscribed Shares in the manner and in such amounts as set forth in the SP Agreement; and (iii) the Issuer shall issue and deliver to SilverPoint, in lieu of to the Investors, a number of Commitment Fee Shares as set forth in the SP Agreement.
 
Assuming the Restructuring and the other transactions contemplated by the SPBA, PSA and SP Agreement are consummated in accordance with their respective terms, immediately following the Closing DBSI would own 882,864 shares of New Common Stock, representing approximately 5.650% of the then issued and outstanding shares of New Common Stock, not including any New Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to any management incentive arrangements.
 
As a result of the arrangements in the SPBA, the PSA and the SP Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed members of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act with the other Investors, the Ad Hoc Group and/or SilverPoint, as applicable. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim (i) membership in a group with any of the other Investors, the Ad Hoc Group and/or SilverPoint and (ii) beneficial ownership of any Class A Shares or Convertible Notes held by any of the other Investors, the Ad Hoc Group and/or SilverPoint.
 
The Reporting Persons are not party to any additional ongoing agreements with respect to the voting or disposition of the Class A Shares or the Convertible Notes.
 
The Class A Shares to which this statement relates were acquired by affiliates of the Reporting Persons in the ordinary course of such affiliates’ business as broker-dealers and not in connection with the Restructuring.
 
The Convertible Notes to which this statement relates were acquired by DBSI in connection with the Restructuring.
 
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a regular basis and, as a result thereof, may at any time or from time to time determine, either alone or as part of a group, (i) to acquire additional securities of the Issuer, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, (ii) to dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer owned by them in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, in one or more registered public offerings or otherwise, or (iii) to take any other available course of action, which could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results referenced in this Item 4.  The Reporting Persons may work with the Investors, the Debtors, SilverPoint and/or the members of the Ad Hoc Group and their respective advisors, the Debtor’s other equityholders or creditors and other stakeholders to develop plans and proposals regarding the Issuer.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, but subject to DBSI’s obligations under the SPBA, the PSA and the SP Agreement, the Reporting Persons specifically reserve the right to change their intention with respect to any or all of such matters. Other than as described in this statement, neither Reporting Person nor, to the Reporting Persons’ best knowledge, any of the persons listed in Exhibit 99.6 hereto, has any present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

(a)  
As of July 19, 2012, based solely on information provided by the Issuer in the Schedule 14A filed on July 26, 2012, the total number of issued and outstanding Class A Shares was 49,007,569.
 
(b)  
As of June 6, 2013: (i) DBAG (A) does not have shared power to vote or dispose of any Class A Shares and (B) beneficially owns and has the sole power to vote and dispose of 621 Class A Shares, representing approximately 0.0013% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares; and (ii) DBSI does not beneficially own or have shared or sole power to vote or dispose of any Class A Shares.
 
As of June 6, 2013, DBSI holds Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to $8,000,000.  Based on publicly available information (Bloomberg), the conversion price for the Convertible Notes is $23.01; therefore, if the Convertible Notes held by DBSI were convertible as of the date hereof, they would be convertible into 347,674 Class A Shares. Assuming conversion of all of the Convertible Notes held by DBSI, as of June 6, 2013: (i) DBAG beneficially owns and (A) has shared power to vote and dispose of 347,674 Class A Shares, representing approximately 0.704% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares and (B) has the sole power to vote and dispose of 621 Class A Shares, representing approximately 0.0013% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares; and (ii) DBSI (A) beneficially owns and has shared power to vote and dispose of 347,674 Class A Shares, representing approximately 0.704% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares and (B) does not have the sole power to vote or dispose of any Class A Shares.
 
The aggregate number of Class A Shares and Convertible Notes described above does not include any Class A Shares or Convertible Notes beneficially owned by any other member of any “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act in which either Reporting Person may be deemed a member.
 
In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-395538 (January 12, 1998) (the “Release”), this filing reflects the Class A Shares and Convertible Notes beneficially owned by certain operating units (collectively, the “DB Reporting Units”) of DBAG and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “DB Group”). This filing does not reflect any Class A Shares and/or Convertibles Notes, if any, beneficially owned by any operating units of the DB Group whose ownership of securities is disaggregated from that of the DB Reporting Units in accordance with the Release. The DB Reporting Units disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities beneficially owned by (i) any client accounts with respect to which the DB Reporting Units or their employees have voting or investment discretion, or both, and (ii) certain investment entities of which the DB Reporting Units act as the general partner, managing general partner or other manager, to the extent interests in such entities are held by persons other than the DB Reporting Units.
 
Immediately after the consummation of the Restructuring, and assuming the Restructuring is consummated and each of the SPBA, PSA and SP Agreement are consummated in accordance with their respective terms, DBSI would own 882,864 shares of New Common Stock, representing approximately 5.650% of the then issued and outstanding shares of New Common Stock, not including any New Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to any management incentive arrangements.
 
(c)  
Except as set forth in Item 3, the Reporting Persons have not, and to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the other persons named in response to Item 2 have, effected any transactions in Class A Shares or Convertible Notes during the past sixty days.
 
(d)  
No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or any proceeds from the sale of, the Class A Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(e)  
Not applicable.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
 
See “Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction” for a description of the SPBA, the PSA and the SP Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, which are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the SPBA, the PSA and the SP Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3 respectively and are incorporated herein by reference. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the persons named in Item 2 with respect to any securities of the Issuer, except as described herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the Company and the Investors agree as follows:
 
1. The Rights Offering; Direct Commitments; Purchase and Sale Arrangements.
 
1.1. The Rights Offering.
 
(a) The Company will commence the Rights Offering contemporaneously with, and as part of, the solicitation process for the Chapter 11 Plan.  The Rights Offering shall be conducted and consummated on the terms, subject to the conditions and in accordance with the Rights Offering Procedures.
 
(b) In the Rights Offering, each Investor, severally and not jointly, agrees to subscribe for, pursuant to the Rights Offering, and purchase at the Closing, and the Company agrees to sell to such Investor at the Closing, at the aggregate Purchase Price therefor, such Investor’s Rights Offering Shares as set forth on Appendix 1 hereto in full on the terms set forth in the Chapter 11 Plan and the Rights Offering Procedure.
 
(c) Each Backstop Investor hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase at the Closing, and the Company hereby agrees to sell and issue to such Backstop Investor, at the aggregate Purchase Price therefor, such Backstop Investor’s Backstop Commitment Percentage of all Unsubscribed Shares as of the Rights Offering Deadline; provided, that each Backstop Investor shall have no obligation to purchase Unsubscribed Shares that are Rights Offering Shares which another Investor is obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 1.1(b), except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 1.3.  The Rights Offering Shares which each of the Investors is required to purchase pursuant to Section 1.1(b) and the Unsubscribed Shares which each of the Backstop Investors is required to purchase pursuant to this Section 1.1(c) are referred to herein as such Investor’s “Equity Investor Shares”.
 
(d) Any purchase of New Common Stock by an Investor pursuant to Section 1.1(b) and Section 1.1(c) shall be on the terms, subject to the conditions, and in reliance on the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, and, in each case, on the terms set forth in the Chapter 11 Plan and the Rights Offering Procedures.  The shares purchased pursuant to Section 1.1(b) and Section 1.1(c) shall, upon issuance thereof, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free and clear of any Encumbrances, other than Encumbrances created by Legal Requirements, the New Stockholders Agreement or the Organizational Documents of the Company.
 
(e) The Company hereby agrees and undertakes to deliver to the Investors a certification by an executive officer of the Company of either (i) a true and accurate calculation of the number of Unsubscribed Shares, and the aggregate Purchase Price therefor (a “Purchase Notice”), or (ii) in the absence of any Unsubscribed Shares, the fact that there are no Unsubscribed Shares and that the Backstop Commitments are terminated (a “Satisfaction Notice”), in either case as soon as practicable after the Rights Offering Deadline and, in any event, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Date (the date of transmission of confirmation of delivery (pursuant to Section 11) of a Purchase Notice or a Satisfaction Notice, the “Determination Date”).
 
1.2. Direct Commitments.  On the terms, subject to the conditions, and in reliance on the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, each Investor hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase at the Closing, and the Company hereby agrees to sell and issue to such Investor at the Closing, at the aggregate Purchase Price therefor, such Investor’s Direct Subscription Shares, which shares shall, upon issuance thereof, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free and clear of any Encumbrances, other than Encumbrances created by Legal Requirements, the New Stockholders Agreement or the Organizational Documents of the Company.
 
1.3. Purchase and Sale Arrangements.
 
(a) In the event that an Investor defaults on its obligation to purchase Rights Offering Shares pursuant to Section 1.1(b) or Direct Subscription Shares pursuant to Section 1.2 or in the event that a Backstop Investor defaults on its obligation to purchase Unsubscribed Shares under Section 1.1(c) or in the event that an Investor defaults on its obligations under this Section 1.3(a) (each such Investor, a “Defaulting Investor”), and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Section 1.3(a), then each Backstop Investor that is not a Defaulting Investor (each, a “Non-Defaulting Investor”) hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase, and the Company hereby agrees to sell and issue to such Non-Defaulting Investor, at the aggregate Purchase Price therefor, such Non-Defaulting Investor’s Adjusted Commitment Percentage (determined in accordance with Section 1.4(b)) of all Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares required to be purchased by the Defaulting Investor pursuant to Section 1.1(b), Section 1.1(c), Section 1.2 or this Section 1.3(a), as applicable, and not so purchased; provided, that in no event or under any circumstances shall any Investor be required to (i) make an investment (whether in cash or exchange of DIP Claims or otherwise) in excess of such Investor’s Total Investor Commitment Amount or (ii) purchase or subscribe for such Defaulting Investor’s Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares unless, as a result of such purchases by all Non-Defaulting Investors, the total proceeds to be paid to the Company as of the Closing from the Rights Offering and the purchase of Direct Subscription Shares and Unsubscribed Shares pursuant to Section 1.1, Section 1.2 and this Section 1.3(a) shall equal at least the aggregate amount of all the Investors’ Total Investor Commitment Amounts; provided, that any DIP Claims deemed surrendered pursuant to a Defaulting DIP Lender Exchange under Section 1.3(a) shall be deemed proceeds paid to the Company.  The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the obligations of the Non-Defaulting Investors pursuant to this Section 1.3(a) shall not be in limitation of any rights or remedies that the Company or any Non-Defaulting Investor may exercise against a Defaulting Investor, and (ii) if any Defaulting Investor shall hold a DIP Claim as of the Effective Date, the Company shall elect to deem all or any portion of such DIP Claim held by such Defaulting Investor surrendered in exchange for a number of shares of New Common Stock equal to the aggregate amount of such DIP Claim that the Company elects to deem surrendered (but no greater than the total amount of such Investor’s Total Investor Commitment Amount on which such Defaulting Investor has defaulted) divided by the Purchase Price (a “Defaulting DIP Lender Exchange”), which such New Common Stock issued pursuant to a Defaulting DIP Lender Exchange will be applied, first, to any default with respect to Direct Subscription Shares and Rights Offering Shares, pro rata based on the number of Direct Subscription Shares and Rights Offering Shares such Defaulting Investor committed to purchase hereunder, before being applied to any Unsubscribed Shares any such Defaulting Investor committed to purchase hereunder.  In connection with any Defaulting DIP Lender Exchange, each Investor hereby constitutes and appoints the Company as such Investor’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in such Investor’s name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, to execute (A) any agreements, instruments of conveyance and assignment as may be necessary, appropriate, proper, advisable, incidental or convenient to consummate such Defaulting DIP Lender Exchange (including, without limitation, any amendment to the DIP Credit Agreement, if necessary), and (B) such related instruments as may be necessary, appropriate, proper, advisable, incidental or convenient to evidence such consummation.  The Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares which each of the Non-Defaulting Investors is required to purchase on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Section 1.3(a) are referred to herein as such Non-Defaulting Investor’s “Defaulting Shares” and, together with the Unsubscribed Shares it is required to purchase pursuant to Section 1.1(c), such Non-Defaulting Investor’s “Backstop Shares”.
 
(b) In the event that (A) any Investor defaults on its obligation to purchase Rights Offering Shares under Section 1.1(b) or Direct Subscription Shares under Section 1.2, a Backstop Investor defaults on its obligation to purchase Unsubscribed Shares under Section 1.1(c) or any Investor defaults on its obligations under Section 1.3(a), and (B) pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.3(a), the total proceeds to be paid to the Company as of the Closing from the Rights Offering and the purchase of Direct Subscription Shares and Unsubscribed Shares pursuant to Section 1.1, Section 1.2 and this Section 1.3 (including through a Defaulting DIP Lender Exchange) do not equal at least the aggregate amount of all the Investors’ Total Investor Commitment Amounts, then the Non-Defaulting Investors shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to elect to purchase, at the Purchase Price, any or all such Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares that such Defaulting Investor was obligated but failed to purchase (in proportion to the respective Total Investor Commitment Amounts of the Non-Defaulting Investors so electing or in such other proportions as such Non-Defaulting Investors may agree); provided, however, if the remaining Non-Defaulting Investors do not elect to purchase all the Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares that the Defaulting Investor was obligated but failed to purchase (after accounting for any Defaulting DIP Lender Exchange), then the Company may seek to arrange for one or more third parties who are able to make the representations set forth in Section 3 hereof to become Investors hereunder (each such Person, a “Third Party Investor”) and purchase the Remaining Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares (as applicable) at the Purchase Price and on identical terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including all Exhibits hereto.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Remaining Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares” shall mean the Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares that (i) the Defaulting Investor was required to purchase but did not purchase and (ii) the Non-Defaulting Investors elect not to purchase pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.  The Company shall promptly notify each of the Non-Defaulting Investors of the identities of all prospective Third Party Investors that the Company negotiates with regarding the purchase of any Remaining Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares.  Any such Third Party Investor shall be entitled to receive, at Closing, a pro rata portion of the Defaulting Investor’s Commitment Fee (based upon the portion of the Defaulting Investor’s stock purchase obligations that are assumed by such Third Party Investor).  The Investors acknowledge and agree that if the Company identifies one or more third parties who are able to make the representations set forth in Section 3 hereof to become Investors hereunder and purchase all Remaining Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares of the Defaulting Investor(s) at the Purchase Price and are ready, willing and able to sign a joinder to this Agreement which shall provide that such third party will become an Investor hereunder with respect to all Remaining Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares on substantially identical terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including all Exhibits hereto, then each such Investor shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in its efforts to cause such third party to become a party to this Agreement and an Investor hereunder; provided, however, that in the event that the Non-Defaulting Investors object to any Person becoming a Third Party Investor, the Non-Defaulting Investors shall have the right (even if they did not initially elect to do so) to purchase (at the Purchase Price) the Remaining Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares that such Person was prepared to purchase and thereby preclude such Person from becoming a Third Party Investor.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Non-Defaulting Investors object to any prospective Third Party Investors but do not elect to purchase (at the Purchase Price) the Remaining Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares that such Person is prepared to purchase, such Person shall not be precluded from becoming a Third Party Investor hereunder.  No Person seeking to become a Third Party Investor shall have any rights under this Agreement and shall not be a third-party beneficiary hereof unless and until such Person signs a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Non-Defaulting Investors.  If such arrangements with third parties are not made within thirty (30) days of the day on which the Closing would have occurred if no default had occurred hereunder, then, so long as each Non-Defaulting Investor has complied in all material respects with its obligations pursuant to this Section 1.3(b), the Non-Defaulting Investors may terminate this Agreement.  Nothing contained in this Section 1.3(b), including, if applicable, the termination of this Agreement, shall relieve a Defaulting Investor of any liability it may have to the other parties hereto and/or any other person or entity, including the Debtors or the Committee, resulting from its default; provided, however, that no Investor shall be liable for its breach of this Agreement in excess of the amount provided for in Section 12.9.
 
1.4. Closing.
 
(a) The closing hereunder of the purchase and sale of Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and Backstop Shares with respect to the Investors (the “Closing”) will occur at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date; provided, however, that if, as of the date established as the Effective Date, any Investor has become a Defaulting Investor on, or within five (5) Business Days prior to, the anticipated Closing and the Non-Defaulting Investors are required or elect to purchase such Defaulting Investor’s Shares pursuant to Section 1.3(a) or Section 1.3(b), respectively, the Effective Date shall be postponed and the Closing shall occur at 10:00 a.m., prevailing Eastern time, on a Business Day mutually agreed upon between the Company and the Requisite Investors (not to exceed five (5) Business Days following the previously scheduled Effective Date); provided, further, however, that if, as of the date established as the Effective Date, (1) any Investor has become a Defaulting Investor, (2) the Non-Defaulting Investors are not required or do not elect to purchase all of such Defaulting Investor’s Shares, and (3) one or more third parties agrees to purchase such Defaulting Investor’s Remaining Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Unsubscribed Shares in accordance with Section 1.3(b), then the Effective Date shall be postponed and the Closing shall occur at 10:00 a.m., prevailing Eastern time, on a Business Day mutually agreed upon between the Company and the Requisite Investors (not to exceed five (5) Business Days following the date on which there are Investors with commitments to purchase all of the Shares of the Defaulting Investor(s)).  At the Closing, (i) each Investor shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of New Common Stock to be purchased by such Investor pursuant to Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, and (B) the Purchase Price, by (x) wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company pursuant to wire instructions previously provided by the Company to such Investor no later than at least two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date, (y) executing and delivering to the Company a duly completed DIP Exchange Form (as defined in the Rights Offering Procedures), prior to the Rights Offering Deadline (as defined in the Rights Offering Procedures), whereby such Investor agrees to surrender in exchange for such Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares or Backstop Shares all or a portion of the DIP Claims held by such Investor (or by an Affiliate of such Investor), or (z) a combination of (x) and (y) above, and (ii) the Company shall issue and deliver to each Investor its Commitment Fee Shares and the number of shares of New Common Stock purchased by such Investor pursuant to Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, in each case duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free and clear of any Encumbrances, other than Encumbrances created by Legal Requirements, the New Stockholders Agreement or the Organizational Documents of the Company, as well as (A) a certificate or certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company registered in the name of such Investor (or its designee(s)) representing the number of Shares to be issued to such Investor by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, and (B) such other certificates, counterparts to agreements, documents or instruments required by it to be delivered to such Investor pursuant to Section 6.1 or reasonably requested by any Investor.  The agreements, instruments, certificates and other documents to be delivered on the Effective Date by or on behalf of the Company will be delivered to the Investors at the offices of Lowenstein Sandler LLP, 1251 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020 (Attn: Peter Ehrenberg, Esq.).
 
(b) In no event shall any Investor be required to purchase (whether in cash or exchange of DIP Claims or otherwise) Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and/or Backstop Shares for an aggregate Purchase Price that exceeds the Total Investor Commitment Amount for such Investor.  In the event that a Non-Defaulting Investor is not required to purchase Defaulting Shares because such purchase would result in the aggregate Purchase Price being paid by such Non-Defaulting Investor for Rights Offering Shares, Direct Subscription Shares and Backstop Shares to exceed the Total Investor Commitment Amount for such Non-Defaulting Investor (whether in cash or exchange of DIP Claims or otherwise), then the other Non-Defaulting Investors’ Adjusted Commitment Percentage shall be recalculated, for purposes of Section 1.3(a) assuming solely for the purpose of this calculation that the Non-Defaulting Investor that is not required to purchase Defaulting Shares is a Defaulting Investor.
 
(c) All Shares will be delivered with any and all issue, stamp, transfer or similar taxes or duties payable in connection with such delivery duly paid by the Company to the extent required under the Confirmation Order or applicable Legal Requirements.

A. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

A. The Company shall indemnify, advance expenses and hold harmless to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, as now or hereafter in effect, any of its directors and officers (and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person, who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and legal representatives) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection therewith or as a result thereof.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except for claims to enforce rights to indemnification (following the final disposition of such Proceeding) or advancement of expenses not paid in full, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his or her heirs, executors or legal representatives) in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors.  The right to indemnification conferred by this Article Seven shall include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the DGCL.
 
B. The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Company and its subsidiaries similar to those conferred in this Article Seven to directors and officers of the Company.

D. The right to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article Seven shall be in addition to any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Company, any statute, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, at common law or otherwise.  Certain persons that are entitled to indemnification under this Article Seven have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by stockholders of the Company and/or their affiliates (“Third Party Indemnitors”) or otherwise.  The Company and its subsidiaries, jointly and severally, are the indemnitors of first resort (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the obligations of the Company hereunder to any person entitled to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses under this Article Seven (collectively with such each such person’s heirs, executors or legal representatives, the “Covered Persons”) are primary and any obligation of any Third Party Indemnitor to advance expenses or to provide indemnification (including, without limitation, through director and officer insurance policies) for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Covered Persons are secondary).  The Company and its subsidiaries, jointly and severally, shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Covered Persons and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (or any other agreement between the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such Covered Persons, on the other hand), without regard to any rights such Covered Persons may have against any Third Party Indemnitor.  Each of the Company and its subsidiaries irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Third Party Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Third Party Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.  Each of the Company and its subsidiaries further agrees that no advancement or other payment by the Third Party Indemnitors on behalf of any Covered Person with respect to any claim for which such Covered Person has sought indemnification or advancement from the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall affect the foregoing and the Third Party Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or other payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Covered Person against such party.  Each of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Covered Persons agree that the Third Party Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of this paragraph D of Article Seven.  Any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any direct or indirect interest in any shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article Seven.

Section 2. Annual meetings of stockholders shall be held at such date and time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting.  At such annual meeting, subject to the Certificate of Incorporation and that certain stockholders’ agreement, dated as of [____], 2013, (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon shall be required to elect directors and to approve or ratify such other matters as may properly be brought before the meeting.
Section 3. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, may be called [by the Chief Executive Officer and shall be called by the Chief Executive Officer or Secretary] at the request in writing of a majority of the Board of Directors, or at the request in writing of stockholders owning a majority in amount of the common stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.  Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.
Section 4. Except as otherwise expressly required by statute, written notice of each annual and special meeting stating the place, date and hour of the meeting, and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten nor more than fifty days before the date of the meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.  Notice shall be given personally or by mail and, if by mail, shall be sent in a postage prepaid envelope, addressed to each such stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.  Notice by mail shall be deemed given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid.  Notice of any meeting shall not be required to be given to any person who attends such meeting, except when such person attends the meeting in person or by proxy for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, or who, either before or after the meeting, shall submit a signed written waiver of notice, in person or by proxy.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, an annual or special meeting of stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice.
Section 5. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation or his designee shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.  Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.  The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.
Section 6. The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation.  If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented.  At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.  If the adjournment is for more than thirty days or if, after the adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 7. At each meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if one shall have been elected, or, in the absence of such chairman or if one shall not have been elected, [the Chief Executive Officer,] shall act as chairman of the meeting.  The Secretary or, in the absence of the Secretary or any inability to act, the person whom the chairman of the meeting shall appoint as secretary of the meeting shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof.
Section 8. The order of business at all meetings of the stockholders shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting.

(a)
on the date fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article VI, Section 5 as the record date for the determination of the stockholders who shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting; or
 
 
(b)
if no such record date shall have been so fixed, then at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice thereof shall be given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the date next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.
 
Each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by a proxy signed by such stockholder or such stockholder’s attorney-in-fact, but no proxy shall be voted after three years from its date, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period.  Any such proxy shall be delivered to the secretary of the meeting at or prior to the time designated in the order of business for so delivering such proxies.  When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Stockholders’ Agreement, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.  Unless required by statute, or determined by the chairman of the meeting to be advisable, the vote on any question need not be by ballot.  On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by such stockholder’s proxy, if there be such proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted and the number of votes to which each share is entitled.
Section 10. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.  Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.
Section 11. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten days after the date on which such request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within ten days after the date on which such a request is received, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery to the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Whenever any transfer of stock shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, it shall be so expressed in the entry of transfer if, when the certificates are presented to the Corporation for transfer, both the transferor and the transferee request the Corporation to do so.

Section 1. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in (or not in conflict with) the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (following the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such person did not act in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in (or not in conflict with) the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.
Section 2. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in (or not in conflict with) the best interests of the Corporation; provided that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was prosecuted shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 3. To the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article IX, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, then such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization by the Board of Directors or the stockholders in the specific case.
Section 4. Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article IX (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such Sections 1 and 2.  Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by, independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (c) by the stockholders by a majority vote.
Section 5. Expenses incurred in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article IX.
Section 6. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections of this Article IX shall be in addition to any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under these By-laws, the Certificate of Incorporation, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, at common law or otherwise.  Certain persons that are entitled to indemnification under this Article IX have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by stockholders of the Corporation and/or their affiliates (“Third Party Indemnitors”) or otherwise.  The Corporation and its subsidiaries, jointly and severally, are the indemnitors of first resort (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the obligations of the Corporation hereunder to any person entitled to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses under this Article IX (collectively with such each such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, the “Covered Persons”) are primary and any obligation of any Third Party Indemnitor to advance expenses or to provide indemnification (including, without limitation, through director and officer insurance policies) for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Covered Persons are secondary).  The Corporation and its subsidiaries, jointly and severally, shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Covered Persons and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by these By-laws (or any other agreement between the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such Covered Persons, on the other hand), without regard to any rights such Covered Persons may have against any Third Party Indemnitor.  Each of the Corporation and its subsidiaries irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Third Party Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Third Party Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.  Each of the Corporation and its subsidiaries further agrees that no advancement or other payment by the Third Party Indemnitors on behalf of any Covered Person with respect to any claim for which such Covered Person has sought indemnification or advancement from the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall affect the foregoing and the Third Party Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or other payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Covered Person against such party.  Each of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and the Covered Persons agree that the Third Party Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 6 of Article IX.  Any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any direct or indirect interest in any shares of capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article IX.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent of any conflict between the terms of this Article IX and the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation shall control.
Section 7. The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article IX.
Section 8. For the purposes of this Article IX, references to the “Corporation” include all constituent corporations or other enterprises absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving corporation so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such a constituent corporation or other enterprise or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation or enterprise as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article IX with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation or enterprise as such person would have been in if such person had served the resulting or surviving corporation or enterprise in the same capacity.
Section 9. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IX shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 10. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation and its subsidiaries similar to those conferred in this Article IX to directors and officers of the Corporation.
Section 11. Any repeal, alteration or amendment of this Article IX or adoption of any provision inconsistent herewith shall not adversely affect any rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any other person entitled to the granted indemnification under this Article IX existing at the time of such repeal, alteration, adoption or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring immediately prior to such repeal, alteration, modification, amendment, adoption or modification.

(a) Limitations on Transfers.  No Holder shall permit any Transfers of its Common Stock except for Transfers made in accordance with the Securities Act, applicable blue sky laws and this Agreement.
 
(i) Securities Restrictions; Legends.
 
(1) Each certificate representing Common Stock subject to this Agreement shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.
 
BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE HOLDER:
 
(1) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS AND, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE CONSTITUENT DOCUMENTS OF THE COMPANY;
 
(2) IN CONNECTION WITH ANY RESALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, SHALL, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER OR SALE, FURNISH TO THE COMPANY SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS IT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE; AND
 
(3) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY OR AN INTEREST HEREIN IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND.
 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO A STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT DATED AS OF [●], 2013 (AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME).  ANY PURCHASER OR TRANSFEREE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE DEEMED A PARTY TO SUCH AGREEMENT.  A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”
 
(2) Each Holder agrees, prior to any Transfer of any shares of Common Stock, to give one (1) Business Day written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such Transfer and to comply in all other respects with the provisions of Section 3.  Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed Transfer.  Each Holder agrees that it will, prior to any such Transfer, deliver to the Company a letter from such Holder’s proposed Transferee informing the Company whether or not such Transferee is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act).  Upon request by the Company, the Holder delivering such notice shall deliver a written opinion, addressed to the Company, of counsel for the Holder of such shares, stating that in the opinion of such counsel (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) such proposed Transfer does not involve a transaction requiring registration or qualification of such shares under the Securities Act provided, that the Company shall not have the right to request any such opinion and shall not be entitled to object to such Transfer if the Holder has held the Common Stock proposed to be Transferred for at least one (1) year and the Holder is not an “affiliate” of the Company as such term is defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, it being understood and agreed that any Holder who is not entitled to nominate or has not nominated an Investor Director and otherwise owns less than fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall not be an “affiliate” for this purpose; provided, further, however, that if such Holder is the largest stockholder of the Company at the time of such proposed Transfer, the Company shall have the right to request such opinion.  It is understood and agreed that the right to nominate or the nomination of an Investor Director or ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall not presumptively establish that a Holder is an “affiliate” for purposes of the previous sentence.  Such Holder of such shares shall be entitled to effect a Transfer of such shares in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company, if the Company does not reasonably object to such Transfer and request such opinion within two (2) Business Days after delivery of such notice, or, if it reasonably requests such opinion, does not reasonably object to such Transfer within two (2) Business Days after delivery of such opinion.  The Company may only object to such Transfer if in its reasonable opinion the proposed Transfer involves a transaction requiring registration or qualification of such shares under the Securities Act.  Each certificate or other instrument evidencing any such transferred Common Stock shall bear the legend set forth in Section 3(a)(i)(1) above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of Common Stock may Transfer all or a portion of its shares of Common Stock to a Permitted Transferee without complying with the terms of this Section 3(a)(i)(2) so long as such Holder provides written notice of such Transfer to the Company within three (3) Business Days after the effective date of the Transfer and the other terms of this Agreement have been satisfied.
 
(ii) Unless otherwise expressly approved by the Board, prior to the date on which the Company has a class of equity securities registered under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, no Common Stock shall be Transferred, if such Transfer would (A) result in there being more than 2,000 Holders, or 500 Holders who are not accredited investors (as such term is defined by the Commission), of record of Common Stock as determined pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or (B) otherwise require the Company to register the Company’s Common Stock under the Exchange Act or any other applicable federal or state securities laws.  The restrictions set forth in clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence shall only apply to Transfers occurring after such time that the Company has provided written notice to all Holders that there are at least 1,750 Holders or 450 Holders who are not accredited investors (as such term is defined by the Commission).  Any attempted Transfer that is prohibited by this Section 3(a)(ii) shall be null and void and shall not be effective to Transfer any Common Stock, but only to the minimum extent necessary to prevent the Transfer from being prohibited by this Section 3(a)(ii).
 
(b) Drag-Along Obligations.
 
(i) Except for a Permitted Transfer, if any Investor or Investors representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company (individually or collectively, the Exiting Holders), acting together or pursuant to a common plan, understanding or arrangement (A) enter into an agreement to Transfer to any Person, in a bona fide arm’s-length transaction to one or more third parties none of which is an Affiliate or Associate of any Exiting Holder, all the Common Stock beneficially owned by such Exiting Holders, (B) request that the Company or any subsidiary thereof consolidate or merge with any Person which is not an Affiliate or Associate of any Exiting Holder in a bona fide arm’s-length transaction (in a consolidation or merger in which (1) Holders receive cash or securities of any other Person upon such consolidation or merger and (2) such Person and/or its Affiliates become the beneficial owner of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of (x) the Company or (y) any subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company owning, controlling or otherwise constituting a majority of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (based on value) (a Merger)) or (C) request that the Company sell all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, to a Person which is not an Affiliate or Associate of any Exiting Holder in a bona fide arm’s-length transaction in which Holders receive cash or securities of such other Person upon completion of such transaction (the Person referred to in clause (A), clause (B) or clause (C) being referred to herein as Exit Transferees and any of the transactions referred to in clause (A), clause (B) or clause (C) being referred to herein as an Exit Transfer; provided, that in no event shall an Exit Transfer be deemed to include any transaction effected solely for the purpose of changing, directly or indirectly, the form of organization or the organizational structure of the Company or any of its subsidiaries), then, subject to the terms of this Section 3(b), such Exiting Holders may elect to require that each of the other Holders (each, a Drag-Along Holder) Transfer to such Exit Transferees all the Common Stock beneficially owned by such Drag-Along Holder, on the same terms and conditions as those applicable to the Exiting Holders (in the case of clause (A) and/or that each Drag-Along Holder vote (or consent in writing, as the case may be) in favor of the Merger or sale of assets (in the case of clause (B) or clause (C)).
 
(ii) The Exiting Holders shall exercise the rights in Section 3(b)(i) by providing to the Company written notice of any Exit Transfer (the Drag-Along Notice), setting forth the terms of the proposed Exit Transfer (including the identity of the counterparties thereto) and the proposed closing date.  The Company shall provide each Drag-Along Holder with a copy of the Drag-Along Notice within three (3) Business Days of receipt from the Exiting Holder.
 
(iii) All Transfers pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be consummated contemporaneously at the principal offices of the Company on the later of (i) a Business Day not less than fifteen (15) or more than sixty (60) days after the Drag-Along Notice is delivered to Drag-Along Holders or (ii) the fifth Business Day following the expiration or termination of all waiting periods under HSR, to the extent applicable to such Transfer, or at such other time or place as the Exiting Holders and the Exit Transferees may agree.  The certificates or other instruments evidencing the Common Stock Transferred pursuant to the Exit Transfer shall be duly endorsed for transfer, and delivered on such closing date against payment for the purchase price of such Common Stock, together with all other documents which are necessary to effect such Transfer.
 
(iv) All Drag-Along Holders shall execute and deliver any documents reasonably requested by the Exiting Holders, including any agreement containing indemnification obligations (which shall be several and not joint obligations and shall be no more extensive or adverse to any Drag-Along Holder than those applicable to the Exiting Holders) on the part of the Exiting Holders and each Drag-Along Holder, provided that the indemnification obligation of each Drag-Along Holder shall solely consist of and (A) shall be limited to the percentage of such consideration that is equal to any comparable percentage limitation with respect to the consideration payable to the Exiting Holders, in the case of representations and warranties made by such Drag-Along Holder (which shall be limited to customary representations regarding its existence, authority to participate in such Exit Transfer, due execution, ownership of its Common Stock and ability to Transfer such Common Stock free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances, as applicable), (B) shall be computed pro rata based on the aggregate consideration payable to all Holders, in the case of representations and warranties made by the Company, and (C) shall not under any circumstances exceed in the aggregate the net proceeds actually paid to such Drag-Along Holder upon completion of the transaction. Any documented and reasonable costs and expenses incurred directly in connection with the Exit Transfer by the Exiting Holders shall be paid out of the gross proceeds of the Exit Transfer to the extent permissible by the terms and conditions of such Exit Transfer, and, if so permissible, no Drag-Along Holder shall have any direct liability for any such costs and expenses.  No Drag-Along Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictive covenant in connection with any Exit Transfer.  In addition, the Drag-Along Holders shall not exercise any rights of appraisal or dissenters rights that such Holder may have (whether under applicable law or otherwise) or could potentially have or acquire in connection with any Exit Transfer or any other proposal that is necessary or desirable to consummate the Exit Transfer.
 
(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (A) each Drag-Along Holder shall be treated equally and on a pro rata basis with each other Drag-Along Holder and the Exiting Holders, and (B) no Exiting Holder shall be entitled, directly or indirectly, to receive a control premium or an extra or special benefit not shared on a pro rata basis by all other holders of Common Stock (excluding any preferential rights of any Security expressly set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation) with respect to such Exiting Holder’s shares.
 
(c) Tag-Along Rights.  Except for a Permitted Transfer, if (X) Exiting Holders propose an Exit Transfer and do not elect to exercise their rights pursuant to Section 3(b) to require each other Holder to Transfer the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holders to the Exit Transferees, or (Y) any Investor or Investors (such Investor or Investors shall be deemed to be “Exiting Holders” for purposes of this Section 3(c)), acting together or pursuant to a common plan, understanding or arrangement, elect to enter into an agreement to Transfer to any Person, in a bona fide arm’s-length transaction to one or more third parties none of which is an Affiliate of any Exiting Holder, fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company (any such Transfer pursuant to clause (X) or (Y), a “Partial Exit Transfer”), the Investors who are not Exiting Holders in such Partial Exit Transfer (the “Non-Selling Investors) shall have the right to participate in such Partial Exit Transfer on the following terms:
 
(i) The Exiting Holders shall give the Company prompt written notice (the Notice of Intent), setting forth the terms of each proposed Partial Exit Transfer (including the identity of the counterparties thereto) and the proposed closing date.
 
(ii) The Company shall deliver the Notice of Intent to each Non-Selling Investor within three (3) Business Days of receipt from the Exiting Holders.
 
(iii) In connection with any Partial Exit Transfer, each Non-Selling Investor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to participate in such Partial Exit Transfer on the same terms and conditions as those applicable to the Exiting Holders, including, in the case of an Exit Transfer pursuant to Section 3(b)(i)(B) or Section 3(b)(i)(C), that each Non-Selling Investor vote (or consent in writing, as the case may be) in favor of the Merger or sale of assets.
 
(iv) The Non-Selling Investors must exercise their “tag-along” rights by giving written notice to the Exiting Holders within twenty (20) days of the delivery of a Notice of Intent by the Company to the Non-Selling Investors (the Tag-Along Acceptance Period), and, in the case of a Partial Exit Transfer specified in clause (Y) of Section 3(c) above, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock that such Non-Selling Investor desires to include in the Partial Exit Transfer.  Each Non-Selling Investor exercising these “tag-along rights” is referred to as a “Tag-Along Holder.”   The Exiting Holders shall attempt to obtain inclusion in the Partial Exit Transfer of the entire number of shares of Common Stock which the Tag-Along Holders beneficially own and are seeking to include.  In the event the Exiting Holders shall be unable to obtain the inclusion of such entire number of shares of Common Stock in such Partial Exit Transfer, the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold in the Partial Exit Transfer by the Exiting Holders and each Tag-Along Holder shall be reduced on a pro rata basis according to the proportion which the number of shares of Common Stock which each such party beneficially owns bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by all such parties.
 
(v) All Transfers of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3(c) shall be consummated contemporaneously at the principal offices of the Company on the later of (i) a Business Day not less than ten (10) or more than sixty (60) days after the last day of the Tag-Along Acceptance Period or (ii) the fifth Business Day following the expiration or termination of all waiting periods under HSR, to the extent applicable to such Partial Exit Transfer, or at such later time or place as the Exiting Holders and the Exit Transferees may agree.  The certificates or other instruments evidencing the Common Stock Transferred pursuant to the Partial Exit Transfer shall be duly endorsed for transfer, and delivered on such closing date against payment for the purchase price of such Common Stock, together with all other documents which are necessary to effect such Partial Exit Transfer.  No party to this Agreement shall Transfer any of its Common Stock to any prospective Transferee if such prospective Transferee declines to allow a Tag-Along Holder to participate in a Partial Exit Transfer.
 
(vi) All Tag-Along Holders shall execute and deliver any documents reasonably requested by the Exiting Holders, including any agreement containing indemnification obligations (which shall be several and not joint obligations and shall be no more extensive or adverse to any Tag-Along Holder than those applicable to the Exiting Holders) on the part of the Exiting Holders and each Tag-Along Holder so electing to participate, provided that the indemnification obligation of each Tag-Along Holder shall solely consist of and (A) shall be limited to the percentage of such consideration that is equal to any comparable percentage limitation with respect to the consideration payable to the Exiting Holders, in the case of representations and warranties made by such Tag-Along Holder (which shall be limited to customary representations regarding its existence, authority to participate in such Partial Exit Transfer, due execution, ownership of its Common Stock and ability to Transfer such Common Stock free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances, as applicable), and (B) shall be computed pro rata based on the aggregate consideration payable to the Exiting Holders and all Tag-Along Holders, in the case of representations and warranties made by the Company, and (C) shall not under any circumstances exceed in the aggregate the net proceeds actually paid to such Tag-Along Holder upon completion of the transaction.  Any documented and reasonable costs and expenses incurred directly in connection with the Partial Exit Transfer by the Exiting Holders shall be paid out of the gross proceeds of the Partial Exit Transfer to the extent permissible by the terms and conditions of such Partial Exit Transfer, and, if so permissible, no Tag-Along Holder shall have any direct liability for any such costs and expenses.  No Tag-Along Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictive covenant in connection with any Partial Exit Transfer.  In addition, the Tag-Along Holders shall not exercise any rights of appraisal or dissenters rights that such Holder may have (whether under applicable law or otherwise) or could potentially have or acquire in connection with any Partial Exit Transfer or any other proposal that is necessary or desirable to consummate the Partial Exit Transfer.
 
Section 4. Preemptive Rights to Purchase New Securities.
 
(a) Grant.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 4, each Preemptive Rights Holder shall have the right to purchase such Preemptive Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of all or any part of any New Securities that the Company or any subsidiary thereof may from time to time issue to any Investor or any Affiliate of any Investor after the date of this Agreement.  A Preemptive Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share for purposes of this right shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Preemptive Rights Holder immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.   The Preemptive Rights Holdersare each Investor other than the Investor or Investors (or their Affiliates) to whom the Company proposes to issue New Securities.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Preemptive Rights Holder may assign its rights under this Section 4 to any of its Affiliates upon written notice to the Company.
 
(b) Procedure.  The Company shall give each Preemptive Rights Holder at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the Company’s intention to issue New Securities (the New Securities Notice), describing the type and amount of New Securities to be issued to any Investor or any Affiliates of any Investor and the price and the general terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities.  Each Preemptive Rights Holder may purchase any or all of such Preemptive Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities and may elect to purchase more than such Preemptive Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share in the event that another Preemptive Rights Holder does not elect to purchase its full Pro Rata Share of an issuance of New Securities (a New Issuance Shortfall), by delivering to the Company, within twenty (20) days after the date of mailing of any such New Securities Notice by the Company, a written notice specifying (i) such number of New Securities which such Preemptive Rights Holder desires to purchase and (ii) whether such Preemptive Rights Holder desires to purchase more than its Pro Rata Share of New Securities in the event of a New Issuance Shortfall and, if so, the maximum amount of the unsubscribed-for New Securities (the Unpurchased New Securities) such Preemptive Rights Holder desires to purchase (an Unpurchased New Securities Share), for the price and upon the general terms and conditions specified in the New Securities Notice.  If any Preemptive Rights Holder fails to notify the Company in writing within such 20-day period of its election to purchase any or all of such Preemptive Rights Holder’s full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities (a Non-Purchasing Holder), then such Non-Purchasing Holder will forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of such Preemptive Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that such Preemptive Rights Holder did not agree to purchase.  If a New Issuance Shortfall occurs, the Unpurchased New Securities shall be allocated to each Preemptive Rights Holder that has elected to purchase its Pro Rata Share of New Securities and that has elected to purchase Unpurchased New Securities in the event of a New Issuance Shortfall (each, a Fully Exercising Rights Holder) in the amount of their Unpurchased New Securities Share.  In the event that the Company is unable to allocate to each Fully Exercising Right Holder its respective Unpurchased New Securities Share due to the aggregate amount of the Unpurchased New Securities Shares equaling more than the amount of the Unpurchased New Securities, then the Unpurchased New Securities shall be allocated to each Fully Exercising Rights Holder based on its Oversubscription Pro Rata Share.  A Fully Exercising Rights Holder’s Oversubscription Pro Rata Share shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Fully Exercising Rights Holder immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by all of the Fully Exercising Rights Holders immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities.
 
(c) Failure To Exercise.  In the event that the Preemptive Rights Holders fail to exercise in full the purchase right within the 20-day  period following delivery of the New Securities Notice, then the Company will have sixty (60) days thereafter to sell the New Securities with respect to which the Preemptive Rights Holders’ rights hereunder were not exercised or to enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities (in which event the Company shall have forty-five (45) days from the date of the execution of such agreement to sell the New Securities).  Any sale of the New Securities shall be at a price and upon terms and conditions not more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the New Securities Notice to the Preemptive Rights Holders.  In the event that the Company has not issued and sold the New Securities within the deadlines set forth in this Section 4(c), then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 4(c).
 
(d) If the provisions of this Section 4 do not apply because the Company issues New Securities solely to purchasers who are neither an Investor nor an Affiliate of an Investor, then each Investor which has appointed a Director hereby agrees that it will not, in connection with such issuance, enter into any agreement or understanding with any such purchaser that provides a related benefit to such Investor, regardless of whether such agreement, understanding or benefit is written or oral, direct or indirect, or solicited or unsolicited by such Investor, unless all of the other Investors are parties to an agreement or understanding with such purchaser that provides a comparable benefit to them, such comparability to be determined based on each Investor's pro rata ownership of the Company at the time of such sale of New Securities to such third party.
 
Section 5. Notices.  Any notice provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be either personally delivered, or mailed first class mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) or sent by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid), to the party entitled to receive such notice or other document at the address set forth in the books and records of the Company.  Any such notice shall be effective and deemed received three days after proper deposit in the mails (or the next business day after due delivery to such overnight courier service).  The Company, any Holder or any spouse or legal representative of a Holder may effect a change of address for purposes of this Agreement by giving notice of such change to the Company, and the Company shall, upon the request of any party hereto, notify such party of such change in the manner provided herein.  Until such notice of change of address is properly given, the previous address set forth in the books and records of the Company shall be effective for all purposes.
 
Section 6. Financial Statements and Other Information.  The Company shall furnish to the Investors, each 5% Holder, and, solely with respect to clause (ii) below, each Holder: (i) for the first three fiscal quarters of each year, as soon as available, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the end of each such fiscal quarter, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal quarter and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for such fiscal quarter and for the period from the beginning of the then current fiscal year to the end of such fiscal quarter, setting forth in each case in comparative form the corresponding figures for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year in reasonable detail; and (ii) as soon as available, and in any event within one hundred and five (105) days after the end of each fiscal year, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal year and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for such fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the corresponding figures for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year in reasonable detail and a report thereon by the Company’s certified independent accountants; provided, however, that if a lesser amount of financial information is required to be given to the Company’s lenders pursuant to the terms of the exit facility contemplated by that certain Amended and Restated Commitment Letter, dated May 22, 2013, provided by certain of the Investors to the Company, then the Company shall only be required to furnish such lesser amount of information to the Investors, each 5% Holder, and, if applicable, each Holder hereunder.
 
Section 7. Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur of (a) execution of a written agreement to such effect by the Company and each Investor that remains a party hereto at the time of such execution, (b) upon the closing of an Initial Public Offering or (c) the closing of a transaction that would constitute an Exit Transfer.  In addition, the rights and obligations of each Holder under this Agreement shall terminate as to such Holder upon the Transfer of all Common Stock owned by such Holder in accordance with this Agreement.
 
Section 8. Miscellaneous Provisions.
 
(a) Transfer in Violation of Agreement.  Any Transfer or attempted Transfer in breach of this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.  In connection with any attempted Transfer in breach of this Agreement, the Company may hold and refuse to transfer any Common Stock or any certificate therefor, in addition to and without prejudice to any and all other rights or remedies which may be available to it or the Holders.  Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that a remedy at law for any breach or attempted breach of this Agreement shall be inadequate, agrees that each other party to this Agreement shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in case of any such breach or attempted breach and further agrees to waive (to the extent legally permissible) any legal conditions required to be met for the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief (including posting any bond in order to obtain equitable relief).
 
(b) No Strict Construction.  The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.
 
(c) No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns any remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any terms, covenants or conditions hereof, and all of the terms, covenants, conditions, promises and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
 
(d) Further Assurances.  Each party hereto 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 other documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
(e) Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and may be delivered by means of facsimile or electronic transmission in portable document format, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon the party who executed the same, but all of such counterparts shall constitute the same agreement.  The failure of any Holder to execute this Agreement does not make it invalid as against any other Holder.
 
(f) Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof except Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York.
 
(g) Submission to Jurisdiction.  Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents and agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof will be brought in the courts of the State of New York, County of New York or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and each party to this Agreement hereby submits to and accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts from any appeal thereof.  Each party to this Agreement further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the delivery of copies thereof in the manner set forth in Section 5.  Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Nothing in this Section 8(g) shall be deemed to constitute a submission to jurisdiction, consent or waiver with respect to any matter not specifically referred to herein.  No course of dealing between the Company, or its subsidiaries, and the Holders (or any of them) or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder will operate as a waiver of any rights of any party to this Agreement.  The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
 
(h) Complete Agreement; Inconsistent Agreements.  This Agreement and any certificates, documents, instruments and writings delivered pursuant hereto represent the complete agreement between the parties hereto as to all matters covered hereby, and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings between the parties.
 
(i) Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
 
(j) Amendments; Waivers.  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended, modified, waived or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except with the consent of the Company and the Investors who beneficially own at least a majority of the issued and outstanding Common Stock held by the Investors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to effect any amendment of, modification of, waiver of or supplement to the provisions of this Agreement that: (i) would adversely affect an individual Investor disproportionately as compared to any other Investor, shall require the prior written consent of such Investor; (ii) would provide any right to any Investor not shared proportionally by all Investors, shall require the prior written consent of each other Investor; or (iii) would amend, modify, supplement or rescind Section 3(a)(i), Section 3(c), Section 4, Section 7 or this Section 8(j), shall require the prior written consent of each Investor.  No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
 
(k) Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Holders and their respective successors, assigns and Permitted Transferees.  Any or all of the rights of a Holder under this Agreement may be assigned or otherwise conveyed by any Holder only in connection with a Transfer of Common Stock which is in compliance with this Agreement; provided, that an Investor may never transfer its status as an Investor other than to Permitted Transferees.
 
(l) Benefits Only to Parties.  Nothing expressed by or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns and Permitted Transferees, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and Permitted Transferees, and for the benefit of no other Person.
 
(m) Transactions with Affiliates.  Except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, the Company shall conduct, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to conduct, all transactions with its Affiliates (other than wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company), current or former directors, or any Relative of the foregoing on terms that are fair and reasonable and no less favorable to the Company or such subsidiary than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate, current or former director or Relative of the foregoing, and in compliance with all applicable laws; it being understood and agreed that (i) any such transaction, to the extent that the value of such transaction is more than $5 million, shall be approved by a majority of the Independent Directors on the Board, and (ii) any such transaction, the value of which exceeds $20 million, shall be approved by a majority of the Independent Directors on the Board and for which the Board has received a written opinion of an unaffiliated nationally recognized investment banking firm stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such subsidiary, shall, in each case, be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 8(m).
 

 
 

 

This Agreement is executed by the Company and each other Person who is deemed a party to this Agreement in accordance with the Plan or who becomes party to this Agreement from time to time in accordance with the provisions herein to be effective as of the date first above written.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to Section 12.12(b) hereof), to the extent the Debtors have insurance with respect to any Allowed General Unsecured Claim, Allowed Existing Securities Law Claim or Allowed Equitably Subordinated Claim, the holder of such Allowed Claim shall (i) have an Allowed Claim in its applicable Class for any SIR Claim, (ii) be paid any amount in excess of any SIR Claim from the proceeds of insurance to the extent that the Claim is insured, and (iii) to the extent not duplicative of (i), receive the treatment provided for in this Plan to the extent the applicable insurance policy does not provide coverage with respect to any portion of the Claim.

Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under this Plan, the provisions of this Plan will constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims or controversies relating to the rights that a holder of a Claim or Interest may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest or any distribution to be made pursuant to this Plan on account of any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest.

Hermelin, Case No. 11SL-CC04054, pending in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, State of Missouri; provided, that to the extent the Debtors have insurance coverage for the Hermelin Indemnification Claims, such Hermelin Indemnification Claims shall be satisfied from the proceeds of such insurance in accordance with Section 7.14 hereof.

DISTRIBUTIONS
 
8.1. Distributions.
 
The Disbursing Agent shall make all Plan Distributions to the appropriate holders of Allowed Claims in accordance with the terms of this Plan. To the extent provided in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and Convertible Subordinated Notes Indenture, as applicable, and permitted by applicable law, all Plan Distributions made by the Disbursing Agent to Class 3 (Senior Secured Notes Claims) and Class 6 (Convertible Subordinated Notes Claims) shall be subject to any charging liens in favor of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture Trustee and Convertible Subordinated Notes Indenture Trustee, respectively.
 
8.2. No Postpetition Interest on Claims.
 
Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, Confirmation Order or other order of the Bankruptcy Court, or required by applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, and no holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on such Claim on or after the Petition Date.
 
8.3. Date of Distributions.
 
Unless otherwise provided herein, any distributions and deliveries to be made hereunder shall be made on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable, provided that the Reorganized Debtors may utilize periodic distribution dates to the extent appropriate. In the event that any payment or act under this Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date.
 
8.4. Distribution Record Date..
 
 
(a) As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the various lists of holders of Claims in each of the Classes (other than Classes 3 and 6), as maintained by the Debtors, or their agents, shall be deemed closed and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any of the Claims after the Distribution Record Date. Neither the Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to recognize any transfer of Claims occurring after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. Additionally, with respect to payment of any Cure Amounts or any Cure Disputes in connection with the assumption and/or assignment of the Debtors’ executory contracts and leases, neither the Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to recognize or deal with any party other than the non-Debtor party to the underlying executory contract or lease, even if such non-Debtor party has sold, assigned or otherwise transferred its Claim for a Cure Amount.
 
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any distribution under this Plan to be effected through the facilities of DTC (whether by means of book-entry exchange, free delivery, or otherwise), including to holders of Claims in Classes 3 and 6, the Debtors will be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under the Plan with such holders to the extent consistent with the customary practices of DTC used in connection with such distribution. With respect to holders of Allowed Convertible Subordinated Notes Claims, all of the shares of the New Common Stock shall be issued in the name of such holder or its nominee(s) in accordance with DTC’s book-entry exchange procedures, provided, that such shares of New Common Stock are permitted to be held through DTC’s book-entry system; provided that to the extent the New Common Stock is not eligible for distribution in accordance with DTC’s customary practices, Reorganized KV will take all such reasonable actions as may be required to cause distributions of New Common Stock to holders of Allowed Convertible Subordinated Notes Claims.
 
8.5. Disbursing Agent.
 
All distributions under this Plan shall be made by the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent on and after the Effective Date as provided herein. The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court and, in the event that the Disbursing Agent is so otherwise ordered, all costs and expenses of procuring any such bond or surety shall be borne by Reorganized Debtors. Furthermore, any such entity required to give a bond shall notify the Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. Trustee in writing before terminating any such bond that is obtained.
 
8.6. Delivery of Distribution.
 
Subject to Section 8.4(b) of the Plan, the Disbursing Agent will issue, or cause to be issued, and authenticate, as applicable, the applicable Plan Consideration, and subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9010, make all distributions or payments to any holder of an Allowed Claim as and when required by this Plan at: (a) the address of such holder on the books and records of the Debtors or their agents; or (b) at the address in any written notice of address change delivered to the Debtors or the applicable Disbursing Agent, including any addresses included on any filed proofs of Claim or transfers of Claim filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001. In the event that any distribution to any holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution or payment to such holder shall be made unless and until the applicable Disbursing Agent has been notified of the then current address of such holder, at which time or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter such distribution shall be made to such holder without interest, provided, however, such distributions or payments shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of the later of one year from: (i) the Effective Date; and (ii) the first Distribution Date after such holder’s Claim is first Allowed.
 
8.7. Unclaimed Property.
 
One year from the later of: (i) the Effective Date, and (ii) the first Distribution Date after the applicable Claim is first Allowed, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors or the successors or assigns of the Reorganized Debtors, and the Claim of any other holder to such property or interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred. The Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent shall have no obligation to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim other than by reviewing the Debtors’ books and records, or proofs of Claim filed against the Debtors, as reflected on the claims register maintained by the Claims Agent.
 
8.8. Satisfaction of Claims.
 
Unless otherwise provided herein, any distributions and deliveries to be made on account of Allowed Claims hereunder shall be in complete settlement, satisfaction and discharge of such Allowed Claims.
 
8.9. Manner of Payment Under Plan.
 
Except as specifically provided herein, at the option of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable), any Cash payment to be made hereunder may be made by a check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements or customary practices of the Debtors.
 
8.10. Fractional Shares/De Minimis Cash Distributions.
 
No fractional shares of New Common Stock shall be distributed. When any distribution would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of shares of New Common Stock that is not a whole number, the shares of the New Common Stock subject to such distribution will be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number as follows: (i) fractions equal to or greater than ½ will be rounded to the next higher whole number; and (ii) fractions less than ½ will be rounded to the next lower whole number; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any rounding of Rights Offering Stock to be distributed, which shall be governed by the Rights Offering Procedures and Section 7.12(c) of this Plan. The total number of shares of New Common Stock to be distributed on account of Allowed Claims will be adjusted as necessary to account for the rounding provided for in this Plan. No consideration will be provided in lieu of fractional shares that are rounded down. Neither the Reorganized Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to make a distribution that is less than one (1) share of New Common Stock or $50.00 in Cash. Fractional shares of New Common Stock that are not distributed in accordance with this Section 8.10 shall be returned to Reorganized KV.
 
8.11. No Distribution in Excess of Amount of Allowed Claim.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no holder of an Allowed Claim shall, on account of such Allowed Claim, receive a Plan Distribution (of a value set forth herein) in excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim plus any postpetition interest on such Claim, to the extent such interest is permitted by Section 8.2 of this Plan.
 
8.12. Exemption from Securities Laws.
 
The issuance of and the distribution under the Plan of the New Common Stock Securities, including the Subscription Rights, the Rights Offering Stock, the Direct Purchase Shares, the Commitment Fee Shares, and the Convertible Subordinated Notes Equity Distribution, shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act any other applicable securities laws pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, to the maximum extent permitted thereunder.   Subject to any transfer restrictions contained in the Certificate of Incorporation of Reorganized KV and/or the New Stockholders Agreement, the New Common Stock issued on account of the Convertible Subordinated Notes Equity Distribution may be resold by the holders thereof without restriction, except to the extent that any such holder is deemed to be an “underwriter” as defined in section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.  All of the New Common Stock Securities other than the Convertible Subordinated Notes Equity Distribution may not be sold or transferred unless there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the New Common Stock or the securities are sold or transferred in a transaction that is exempt from or not subject to the registration and prospectus delivery requirement of the Securities Act and otherwise in compliance with state securities laws.  The availability of the exemption under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or any other applicable securities laws shall not be a condition to occurrence of the Effective Date of the Plan.
 
8.13. Setoffs and Recoupments.
 
Each Reorganized Debtor, or such entity’s designee as instructed by such Reorganized Debtor, may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, set off and/or recoup against any Allowed Claim (other than a Senior Secured Notes Claim or a Convertible Subordinated Notes Claim), and the distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan on account of such Allowed Claim, any and all claims, rights and Causes of Action that a Reorganized Debtor or its successors may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim after the Effective Date; provided, however, that neither the failure to effect a setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by a Reorganized Debtor or its successor of any and all claims, rights and Causes of Action that a Reorganized Debtor or its successor may possess against such holder.
 
8.14. Rights and Powers of Disbursing Agent.
 
(a) Powers of Disbursing Agent. The Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to: (i) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under this Plan; (ii) make all applicable distributions or payments contemplated hereby; (iii) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (iv) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court (including any order issued after the Effective Date), pursuant to this Plan, or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions hereof.
 
(b) Expenses Incurred on or After the Effective Date. Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, and subject to the written agreement of the Reorganized Debtors, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective Date (including, without limitation, taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement Claims (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney and other professional fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.
 
8.15. Withholding and Reporting Requirements.
 
In connection with this Plan and all distributions hereunder, the Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority, and all Plan Distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including, without limitation, liquidating a portion of any Plan Distribution to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes or establishing any other mechanisms the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent believe are reasonable and appropriate, including requiring a holder of a Claim to submit appropriate tax and withholding certifications. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan: (i) each holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution under this Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations on account of such distribution; and (ii) no Plan Distributions shall be required to be made to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to this Plan unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the Reorganized Debtors for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations or has, to the Reorganized Debtors’ satisfaction, established an exemption therefrom.
 
8.16. Cooperation with Disbursing Agent.
 
The Reorganized Debtors shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Disbursing Agent with the amount of Claims and the identity and addresses of holders of Claims, in each case, as set forth in the Debtors’ and/or Reorganized Debtors’ books and records. The Reorganized Debtors will cooperate in good faith with the Disbursing Agent to comply with the reporting and withholding requirements outlined in Section 8.15 hereof.
 
8.17. Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.
 
Any New Common Stock to be distributed under the Plan to an entity required to file a Premerger Notification and Report Form under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, shall not be distributed until the notification and waiting periods applicable under such Act to such entity shall have expired or been terminated. In the event any applicable notification and waiting periods do not expire without objection, the Reorganized Debtors or their agent shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled to sell such entity’s shares of New Common Stock that were to be distributed under the Plan to such entity, and thereafter shall distribute the proceeds of the sale to such entity.
 
ARTICLE IX.
 
PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CLAIMS
 
9.1. Objections to Claims.
 
Other than with respect to Fee Claims, only the Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to object to Claims after the Effective Date. Any objections to those Claims (other than Administrative Expense Claims), shall be served and filed on or before the later of: (i) the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Date; and (ii) such other date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court, whether fixed before or after the date specified in clause (i) hereof. Any Claims filed after the Bar Date or Administrative Bar Date, as applicable, shall be deemed disallowed and expunged in their entirety without further order of the Bankruptcy Court or any action being required on the part of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, unless the Person or entity wishing to file such untimely Claim has received Bankruptcy Court authority to do so. Notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, an objection to a Claim shall be deemed properly served on the claimant if the objecting party effects service in any of the following manners:  (i) in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004; (ii) by first class mail, postage prepaid, on the signatory on the proof of claim as well as all other representatives identified in the proof of claim or any attachment thereto; or (iii) if counsel has agreed to or is otherwise deemed to accept service, by first class mail, postage prepaid, on any counsel that has appeared on the claimant’s behalf in the Reorganization Cases (so long as such appearance has not been subsequently withdrawn). From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
 
9.2. Amendment to Claims.
 
From and after the Effective Date, no Claim may be filed to increase or assert additional claims not reflected in an already filed Claim (or Claim scheduled, unless superseded by a filed Claim, on the applicable Debtor’s schedules of assets and liabilities filed in the Reorganization Cases) asserted by such claimant and any such Claim shall be deemed disallowed and expunged in its entirety without further order of the Bankruptcy Court or any action being required on the part of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors unless the claimant has obtained the Bankruptcy Court’s prior approval to file such amended or increased Claim.
 
9.3. Disputed Claims.
 
(a) No Distributions or Payments Pending Allowance. Except as provided in this Section 9.3, Disputed Claims shall not be entitled to any Plan Distributions unless and until such Claims become Allowed Claims.
 
(b) Establishment of Disputed Priority Claims Reserve. On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtors shall set aside and reserve, for the benefit of each holder of a Disputed Administrative Expense Claim, Disputed Priority Tax Claim, Disputed Priority Non-Tax Claim, and Disputed Other Secured Claim, Cash in an amount equal to (i) the amount of such Claim as estimated by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to an Estimation Order, (ii) if no Estimation Order has been entered with respect to such Claim, the amount in which such Disputed Claim is proposed to be allowed in any pending objection filed by the Debtors, or (iii) if no Estimation Order has been entered with respect to such Claim, and no objection to such Claim is pending on the Effective Date, (A) the amount listed in the Debtors’ schedules of assets and liabilities filed in the Reorganization Cases (the “Schedules”) or (B) if the amount listed in the Schedules is less than the amount set forth in a timely filed proof of claim or application for payment filed with the Bankruptcy Court or Claims Agent, the amount set forth in such timely filed proof of claim or application for payment, as applicable. The Reorganized Debtors, in their reasonable discretion, may increase the amount reserved as to any particular Disputed Claim. Such reserved amounts, collectively, shall constitute the “Disputed Priority Claims Reserve”.
 
(c) Establishment of Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve. On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtors shall set aside and reserve, from the General Unsecured Claims Distribution, for the benefit of each holder of a Disputed General Unsecured Claim, Cash in an amount equal to the Plan Distribution to which the holder of such Disputed Claim would be entitled if such Disputed Claim were an Allowed Claim, in an amount equal to (i) the amount of such Claim as estimated by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to an Estimation Order, (ii) if no Estimation Order has been entered with respect to such Claim, the amount in which such Disputed Claim is proposed to be allowed in any pending objection filed by the Debtors, or (iii) if no Estimation Order has been entered with respect to such Claim, and no objection to such Claim is pending on the Effective Date, (A) the amount listed in the Schedules or (B) if the amount listed in the Schedules is less than the amount set forth in a timely filed proof of claim or application for payment filed with the Bankruptcy Court or Claims Agent, the amount set forth in such timely filed proof of claim or application for payment, as applicable. The Reorganized Debtors, in their discretion, may increase the amount reserved as to any particular Disputed Claim. Such reserved amounts, collectively, shall constitute the “Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve”.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors shall not be required to reserve any Cash or other consideration on account of any Disputed General Unsecured Claim the Debtors reasonably believe is covered by insurance; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors shall reserve Cash in an amount equal to the Plan Distribution to which the holder of any such Disputed General Unsecured Claim would be entitled on account of any SIR Claim that would be Allowed if such Disputed General Unsecured Claim were an Allowed Claim, in the amount of such SIR Claim; provided that the amount of the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve shall be determined in consultation with the Creditors’ Committee.
 
(d) Plan Distributions to Holders of Subsequently Allowed Claims. On each Distribution Date (or such earlier date as determined by the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent in their sole discretion but subject to this Section 9.3), the Disbursing Agent will make distributions or payments from the applicable Disputed Claims Reserve on account of any Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim since the occurrence of the previous Distribution Date. The Disbursing Agent shall distribute in respect of such newly Allowed Claims the Plan Distributions to which holders of such Claims would have been entitled under this Plan if such newly Allowed Claims were fully or partially Allowed, as the case may be, on the Effective Date, less direct and actual expenses, fees, or other direct costs of maintaining Plan Consideration on account of such Disputed Claims.
 
(e) Distribution of Reserved Plan Consideration Upon Disallowance.
 
(i)  
To the extent any Disputed Administrative Expense Claims, Disputed Priority Tax Claims, Disputed Priority Non-Tax Claims, or Disputed Other Secured Claim has become Disallowed in full or in part (in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Plan), any Plan Consideration held by the Reorganized Debtors on account of, or to pay, such Disputed Claim shall become the sole and exclusive property of Reorganized KV or its successors or assigns.
 
(ii)  
After all Disputed General Unsecured Claims have been either Allowed or Disallowed, each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall receive its Pro Rata Share of any Cash remaining in the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve.
 
9.4. Estimation of Claims.
 
The Debtors and/or Reorganized Debtors may request that the Bankruptcy Court enter an Estimation Order with respect to any Claim, pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, for purposes of determining the Allowed amount of such Claim regardless of whether any Person has previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim for purposes of determining the allowed amount of such Claim at any time. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim for allowance purposes, that estimated amount will constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on such Claim, the objecting party may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate payment on such Claim. All of the objection, estimation, settlement, and resolution procedures set forth in the Plan are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, resolved or withdrawn by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
 
9.5. Expenses Incurred On or After the Effective Date.
 
Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, and subject to the written agreement of the Reorganized Debtors, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by any Professional Person or the Claims Agent on or after the Effective Date in connection with implementation of this Plan, including without limitation, reconciliation of, objection to, and settlement of Claims, shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.
 
ARTICLE X.
 
EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
 
10.1. General Treatment.
 
As of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and the payment of any applicable Cure Amount, all executory contracts and unexpired leases identified on the Schedule of Assumed Contracts and Leases in the Plan Supplement shall be deemed assumed, and all other executory contracts and unexpired leases of the Debtors shall be deemed rejected, except that: (i) any executory contracts and unexpired leases that previously have been assumed or rejected pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court shall be treated as provided in such Final Order; and (ii) all executory contracts and unexpired leases that are the subject of a separate motion to assume or reject under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code pending on the Effective Date shall be treated as is determined by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court resolving such motion. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of the assumptions and rejections described in this Section 10.1 pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each executory contract and unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of the Plan, or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption, or applicable federal law.
 
10.2. Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.
 
All Claims arising from the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases, if any, will be treated as General Unsecured Claims. Upon receipt of the Plan Distribution provided in Section 5.7 of the Plan, all such Claims shall be discharged on the Effective Date, and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or their respective properties or interests in property.  In the event that the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan results in damages to the other party or parties to such contract or lease, a Claim for such damages, if not heretofore evidenced by a timely filed proof of claim, shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, or their respective properties or interests in property as agents, successors or assigns, unless a proof of claim is filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon counsel for the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after the effective date of such rejection (which may be the Effective Date, the date on which the Debtors reject the applicable contract or lease as provided in Section 10.3(c) below, or pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court).
 
10.3. Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.
 
(a) Except to the extent that less favorable treatment has been agreed to by the non-Debtor party or parties to each such executory contract or unexpired lease, any monetary defaults arising under each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the appropriate amount (the “Cure Amount”) in Cash on the later of thirty (30) days after: (i) the Effective Date; or (ii) the date on which any Cure Dispute relating to such Cure Amount has been resolved (either consensually or through judicial decision).
 
(b) No later than ten (10) calendar days prior to the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall file a schedule (the “Cure Schedule”) setting forth the Cure Amount, if any, for each executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Plan, and serve such Cure Schedule on each applicable counterparty. Any party that fails to object to the applicable Cure Amount listed on the Cure Schedule within fifteen (15) calendar days of the filing thereof, shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from disputing the Cure Amount set forth on the Cure Schedule (including a Cure Amount of $0.00) and/or from asserting any Claim against the applicable Debtor arising under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code except as set forth on the Cure Schedule.
 
(c) In the event of a dispute (each, a “Cure Dispute”) regarding: (i) the Cure Amount; (ii) the ability of the applicable Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed; or (iii) any other matter pertaining to the proposed assumption, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving such Cure Dispute and approving the assumption. To the extent a Cure Dispute relates solely to the Cure Amount, the applicable Debtor may assume and/or assume and assign the applicable contract or lease prior to the resolution of the Cure Dispute provided that such Debtor reserves Cash in an amount sufficient to pay the full amount asserted as the required cure payment by the non-Debtor party to such contract or lease (or such smaller amount as may be fixed or estimated by the Bankruptcy Court).

10.5. Employment Agreements.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all employment agreements between the Debtors and their executive officers as of the Effective Date (the “Current Officer Employment Agreements”) are treated as executory contracts under the Plan and on the Effective Date will be assumed pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary (including but not limited to in Article XII of the Plan), but excluding any and all derivative Claims on behalf of the Debtors, nothing in the Plan shall release, enjoin or otherwise affect in any way any right or ability of the lead plaintiff, any other plaintiff and/or any member of the putative classes in the Securities Litigations to: (i) seek or obtain any discovery in connection with the respective Securities Litigations, (ii) pursue and prosecute the claims asserted, or which may be asserted, against any non-Debtor in the respective Securities Litigations; (iii) enter into or enforce any settlement or enforce any judgment obtained against any non-Debtor in connection with or relating to the respective Securities Litigations, including through coverage provided by any insurance and/or any proceeds therefrom; and (iv) pursue and recover on any claims against KV as a defendant in the respective Securities Litigations solely to the extent of any insurance and/or any proceeds therefrom (excluding any self-insured retention obligation or deductible) that may provide coverage for any liability of KV for the claims asserted in the respective Securities Litigations.
 
(b) Notwithstanding confirmation of the Plan, and notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, from and after the Effective Date, (i) the Reorganized Debtors shall preserve and maintain all of the Debtors’ and the Reorganized Debtors’ documents, files, books, records, and electronic data (including emails) that relate to the claims, defenses and allegations in the respective Securities Litigations (collectively, the “Securities Litigation Documents”) whether maintained by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, or any successors thereto or transferees thereof, to the extent required under applicable law, including without limitation under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4, et. seq. and 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(b)(3)(C) thereof, and (ii) nothing shall restrict or impair any right of the lead plaintiffs and/or any representative of the putative classes in the respective Securities Litigations to seek leave under 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(b)(3)(B) or otherwise, to require any or all of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to preserve Securities Litigation Documents until, with respect to (i) and (ii) above, such time as, in each case with respect to the applicable Securities Litigation:  (I) a final, non-appealable judgment is entered concluding such litigation in full, or (II) such litigation is fully and finally settled.

Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of this Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of this Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

Exhibit F
 
Indemnification Provisions
 
The Company (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investors and each of their respective Affiliates, members, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, in such capacity, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable expenses, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding with respect to the Rights Offering, this Agreement, the Commitments, the Chapter 11 Plan (or the solicitation thereof), the Chapter 11 Cases or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation, payment of the Commitment Fee or the Transaction Expenses, if any, distribution of the Rights, purchase and sale of Rights Offering Shares in the Rights Offering and purchase and sale of Shares pursuant to this Agreement, or any breach by the Company of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision of this Agreement, regardless of whether any of such Indemnified Persons is a party thereto, and to reimburse such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as they are incurred in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any of the foregoing; provided that the foregoing indemnification will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent that they are finally judicially determined to have resulted from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Person.  If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and such Indemnified Person on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations.  It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and all Indemnified Persons on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company pursuant to the sale of Shares to the Investors pursuant to this Agreement bears to (ii) the Commitment Fee paid or proposed to be paid to the Investors in connection with such sales.  The Indemnifying Party also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability based on their exclusive or contributory negligence or otherwise to the Indemnifying Party, any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Indemnifying Party, or any other person in connection with or as a result of the Rights Offering, this Agreement, the Commitments, the Chapter 11 Plan (or the solicitation thereof), the Chapter 11 Cases or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except as to any Indemnified Person to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liability or expenses incurred by the Company are finally judicially determined to have resulted from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person in performing the services that are the subject of this Agreement.
 
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, litigation, investigation, proceeding or other action with respect to which such Indemnified Person may be entitled to indemnification hereunder (“Actions”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that (i) the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure and (ii) the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Section 8.  In case any such Actions are brought against any Indemnified Person and such Indemnified Person notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, if the Indemnifying Party commits in writing to fully indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Person with respect to such Actions, without regard to whether the Effective Date occurs, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in such Actions, and, to the extent that such Indemnifying Party may elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, provided that if the defendants in any such Actions include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Person shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Actions on behalf of such Indemnified Person.  Following the date of receipt of such indemnification commitment from the Indemnifying Party and notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election so to assume the defense of such Actions and approval by such Indemnified Person of counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof after such date (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (w) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (x) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person at the Indemnifying Party’s expense within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Actions, (y) after the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Actions, such Indemnified Person determines that the Indemnifying Party is failing to diligently defend against such Actions in good faith or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person.

2.1.2. At any time after the Initial Public Offering, any one or more Holders of Registrable Securities  (the “Requesting Holder”) may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities held by such Requesting Holder on Form S-1 or similar long-form registration (a “Long-Form Registration”) with respect to up to one Long-Form Registration per annum (up to a maximum of three total Long-Form Registrations) and an unlimited number of registrations under the Securities Act of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities held by such Requesting Holder on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration (a “Short-Form Registration”), if available (any registration under this Section 2.1, a “Demand Registration”); provided that (i) in the case of a Long-Form Registration such Requesting Holder will be entitled to make such demand only if the total offering price of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering (including piggyback shares and before deduction of underwriting discounts) is reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $40 million and (ii) in the case of a Short-Form Registration, such Requesting Holder will be entitled to make such demand only if the total offering price of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering (including piggyback shares and before deduction of underwriting discounts) is reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $25 million.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4 below, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement for such intended method of distribution, as promptly as practicable, but not later than (x) 45 days after such Demand Notice in the case of a registration with a Long-Form Registration and (y) 30 days after such Demand Notice in the case of a registration with a Short-Form Registration, and in each case shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof.
 
2.2 Demand Registration Notices.  All requests for Demand Registrations (including the Initial Demand Registration) shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the “Demand Registration Notice”). Each Demand Registration Notice shall specify (i) whether such Demand Registration shall be an underwritten offering, (ii) the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Demand Registration and (iii) the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Demand Registration. Within five days after receipt of any Demand Registration Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such requested Demand Registration to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Company Demand Registration Notice”) and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5 below, shall include in such Demand Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 20 days after sending the Company Demand Registration Notice.
 
2.3 Long-Form Registrations.  A registration shall count as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations only if (i) it has become effective (and does not subsequently become subject to any stop order, injunction or other order of the Commission or other governmental agency prior to the sale of all Registrable Securities to be sold thereunder), (ii) the Requesting Holder initially requesting such registration is able to register and sell pursuant to such registration all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration either at the time of the registration or within 90 days thereafter and (iii) the Company does not withdraw or prematurely terminate a Registration Statement as set forth in Section 4.
 
2.4 Short-Form Registrations. Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use and applicable short form. Promptly after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations on Form S-3 (or any successor form) available for the sale of Registrable Securities.  If the Company is a WKSI at the time a Demand Registration Notice is submitted to the Company that requests that the Company file an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (an “automatic shelf registration statement”) on a Short-Form Registration Statement, the Company shall file an automatic shelf registration statement which covers those Registrable Securities that are requested to be registered.  If the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time the automatic shelf registration statement is filed, the Company agrees to pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold.
 
2.5 Priority on Demand Registrations. If the Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters for such Demand Registration advise the Company and the applicable Holders requested to be included in the Demand Registration that the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Demand Registration, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration the number of Registrable Securities which can be so sold in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Holders, which in the judgment of such underwriter can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro rata among the respective Holders on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder; and (ii) second, other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration to the extent permitted hereunder; provided, however, that, with respect to the Initial Demand Registration only, the order of priority shall be as follows: (x) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell; (y) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Holders, which in the judgment of such underwriter can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder; and (z) third, other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration to the extent permitted hereunder.
 
2.6 Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not be obligated to effect (i) any Long-Form Registration within 120 days or (ii) any Short-Form Registration within 90 days, in each case, after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration or a previous registration in which the Holders of Registrable Securities were given piggyback rights pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement and in which such Holders were able to register and sell at least 90% of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein. In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration during the period starting with the date that is 60 days prior to the Board’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on the date that is 90 days (unless the underwriting agreement requires a longer period of time) after the effective date of, a Company initiated Registration Statement; provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable best efforts to cause such registration to become effective; and provided, further that the aggregate number of days that any one or more Demand Registrations are suspended or delayed by operation of this Section 2.6 shall not exceed 90 days in any 12-month period. In the event of any such suspension or delay, the Holder of Registrable Securities initially requesting a Demand Registration that is suspended by operation of this Section 2.6 shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations hereunder, and the Company shall pay all registration expenses in connection with such registration as provided in Section 7.
 
2.7 Underwritten Offering.  If the Initial Requesting Holder or the Requesting Holder so advise the Company as part of its written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration may be in the form of an underwritten offering.  In such event, the lead underwriter to administer the offering will be chosen by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Demand Registration, subject to the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The Company subsequently shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting pursuant to this Section 2.7.
 
2.8 Withdrawal.  The Initial Requesting Holder or the Requesting Holder may elect to withdraw from an offering by giving written notice to the Company and the underwriter or underwriters of its request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration and such Registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.1.
 
3. Piggyback Takedowns.
 
3.1 Right to Piggyback.  Whenever the Company proposes to offer any of its Common Stock (a “Piggyback Takedown”) pursuant to a Registration Statement in any underwritten offering of Common Stock (including an “at-the-market offering” or a “registered direct offering”) whether for its own account or for the account of holders of the Company’s securities (other than the Holders) (“Other Holders”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such Piggyback Takedown.  In the case of a Piggyback Takedown that is an underwritten offering under a shelf Registration Statement, such notice shall be given not less than ten Business Days prior to the expected date of commencement of marketing efforts for such Piggyback Takedown. In the case of a Piggyback Takedown that is an underwritten offering under a Registration Statement that is not a shelf Registration Statement, such notice shall be given not less than ten Business Days prior to the expected date of filing of such Registration Statement. The Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 and Section 3.3, include in such Piggyback Takedown, as applicable, all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten Business Days after sending the Company’s notice and shall file any post effective amendment or Prospectus supplement necessary to include such Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Company may determine not to proceed with any Piggyback Takedown upon written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities requesting to include their Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Takedown; and (ii) any Holder of Registrable Securities may withdraw its request for inclusion by giving written notice to the Company of its intention to withdraw that registration.  For purposes of this Section 3, with respect to any Piggyback Takedown undertaken by the Company within one year of the Effective Date, the term “Holder” shall be deemed to include not only the Holders, but also all holders of the Company’s Common Stock who received such Common Stock pursuant to the Rights Offering (as defined in the Plan) and such holders’ shares of Common Stock shall be considered Registrable Securities.
 
3.2 Priority on Primary Piggyback Takedowns.

4. Suspension Period.
 
4.1 Suspension Period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Board determines in reasonable good faith judgment, after consultation with counsel, that the registration and distribution of Registrable Securities (i) would reasonably be expected to materially impede, delay or interfere with, or require premature disclosure of, any material financing, offering, acquisition, merger, corporate reorganization, segment reclassification or discontinuance of operations that is required to be reflected in pro forma or restated financial statements that amends historical financial statement of the Company, or other significant transaction or any negotiations, discussions or pending proposals with respect thereto, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) would require disclosure of non-public material information, the disclosure of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Company, the Company shall be entitled to suspend, for a reasonable period of time (each, a “Suspension Period”), the use of any Registration Statement or Prospectus and shall not be required to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, any related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference. The Company shall use its good faith efforts to amend the Registration Statement and/or Prospectus to correct such untrue statement or omission as soon as reasonably practicable unless such amendment would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan of the Company to effect a merger, acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction, in each case that is material to the Company. The Company promptly will give written notice of any such Suspension Period to each Person that has securities registered on a Registration Statement filed hereunder.

Each Holder agrees to execute a lock-up agreement in favor of the Company’s underwriters to such effect and containing customary restrictions on transfers of securities of the Company (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all Holders) and, in any event, that the Company’s underwriters in any relevant underwritten public offering shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.

The Company also shall indemnify any underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each Person who controls such underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 10.1. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
 
10.2 Indemnification by the Holders.  Each Holder severally (and not jointly) will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling Holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents and each underwriter (if any), and each other selling Holder and each other Person, if any, who controls such Person within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling Holder expressly for use therein, or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the information conveyed to any purchaser at the time of the sale to such purchaser, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each other selling holder or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the total amount to be indemnified by such Holder pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be limited to the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such Holder in the offering to which such Registration Statement relates; provided, further, that a Holder shall not be liable in any case to the extent that prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, each Holder has furnished in writing to the Company, information expressly for use in, and within a reasonable period of time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading information previously provided to the Company.
 
10.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Promptly after receipt by any Person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 10.1 or Section 10.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other Person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other Person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.  If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the advice of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.
 
10.4 Contribution.
 
10.4.1. If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Section 10.1 and Section 10.2 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such 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 loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
 
10.4.2. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section.
 
10.4.3. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.4, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation, and each Holder shall only be required to contribute if such Holder would have otherwise been required to indemnify under Section 10.2.  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.
 
10.5 Investigation and Survival. The provisions of this Section 10 will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder of Registrable Securities or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling Persons referred to in this Section 10 hereof, and will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.
 
11. Rule 144.  The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar Rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.
 
12. Private Placement.
 
12.1 The Company agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Holders, at any time and from time to time, from selling or otherwise transferring Registrable Securities pursuant to a private placement or other transaction which is not registered pursuant to the Securities Act. To the extent requested by a Holder, the Company shall take all reasonable steps to assist and cooperate with such Holder to facilitate such sale or transfer, including providing reasonable due diligence access to potential purchasers and delivery of a customary opinion regarding the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the Holders for such sale.
 
12.2 At the request of a Holder, the Company shall remove from each certificate evidencing Registrable Securities any legend if the Company is reasonably satisfied (based upon an opinion of counsel or, in the case of a Holder that is not an Affiliate of the Company proposing to transfer such securities pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1) of the Securities Act, other evidence) that the securities evidenced thereby may be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act.
 
13. Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights of a Holder hereunder may be transferred, assigned, or otherwise conveyed on a pro rata basis in connection with any transfer, assignment, or other conveyance of Registrable Securities to any transferee or assignee; provided that all of the following additional conditions are satisfied: (i) such transfer or assignment is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws and the Stockholders’ Agreement of the Company dated as of the date hereof, (ii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement by executing a joinder or similar document; and (iii) the Company is given written notice by such Holder of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned. Any transfer, assignment or other conveyance of the rights of a Holder in breach of this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.
 
14. Miscellaneous.

14.2 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part.  This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties. Whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of purchasers or Holders of Registrable Securities are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent Holder of Registrable Securities. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any Persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Section 5 and Section 10.
 
14.3 Notices.  Any notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be sufficiently given if made by hand delivery, by telex, by telecopier, by overnight courier or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

14.4 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
 
14.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and may be delivered by means of facsimile or electronic transmission in portable document format, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon the party who executed the same, but all of such counterparts shall constitute the same agreement.  The failure of any Holder to execute this Agreement does not make it invalid as against any other Holder.
 
14.6 Complete Agreement; Inconsistent Agreements.  This Agreement and any certificates, documents, instruments and writings delivered pursuant hereto represent the complete agreement between the parties hereto as to all matters covered hereby, and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings between the parties.

14.8 Adjustments. If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Common Stock by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or sale, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to the Common Stock as so changed.
 
14.9 Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The Company shall not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Holders of Registrable Securities to include such Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or which would materially and adversely affect the marketability of such Registrable Securities in any such registration (including effecting a stock split or a combination of shares).
 
14.10 Waivers and Extensions.  Any party to this Agreement may waive any right, breach or default which such party has the right to waive, provided that such waiver will not be effective against the waiving party unless it is in writing, is signed by such party and specifically refers to this Agreement.  No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.  Waivers may be made in advance or after the right waived has arisen or the breach or default waived has occurred.  Any waiver may be conditional.  No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof nor of any other agreement or provision herein contained.  No waiver or extension of time for performance of any obligations or acts shall be deemed a waiver or extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or acts.
 
14.11 Remedies Cumulative.  In the event that the Company fails to observe or perform any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement, the Holders may proceed to protect and enforce their rights by suit in equity or action at law, whether for specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or for an injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more of such actions, without being required to post a bond.  None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred under this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
 
14.12 Arm’s Length Agreement. Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees and acknowledges that this Agreement has been negotiated in good faith, at arm’s length, and not by any means prohibited by law.
 
14.13 No Strict Construction.  The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.
 
14.14 FWP Consent. No Holder shall use a Holder Free Writing Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
14.15 Further Assurances.  Each party hereto 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 other documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
14.16 No Required Sale. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create an independent obligation on the part of any Holder to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to any effective Registration Statement.
 
14.17 Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof except Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York.
 
14.18 Submission to Jurisdiction.  Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents and agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof will be brought in the courts of the State of New York, County of New York or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and each party to this Agreement hereby submits to and accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts from any appeal thereof.  Each party to this Agreement further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the delivery of copies thereof in the manner set forth in Section 14.3. Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to constitute a submission to jurisdiction, consent or waiver with respect to any matter not specifically referred to herein. No course of dealing between the Company, or its subsidiaries, and the Holders (or any of them) or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder will operate as a waiver of any rights of any party to this Agreement.  The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
 

 
 

 

This Registration Rights Agreement is executed by the Company and each other Person identified on Schedule A hereto or who becomes party to this Agreement from time to time in accordance with the provisions herein to be effective as of the date first above written.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
 
1. Implementation of the Chapter 11 Plan.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Ad Hoc Group shall cooperate with the Company and the Investors in good faith in connection with the confirmation and implementation of the Chapter 11 Plan (as the same shall be revised to reflect the terms of this Agreement, as necessary).  Furthermore, each Ad Hoc Group Member shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
 
2. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Ad Hoc Group Members.
 
(a) Representations and Warranties.  Each Ad Hoc Group Member (to the extent applicable) hereby represents and warrants as to itself and not any other party that:

(ix) as of the date hereof, it has available funds and/or irrevocable capital commitments sufficient to pay such Participating Ad Hoc Group Member’s Commitment Amount, if any, in cash set forth on Annex 1.
 
(b) Purchase and Escrow.  Each of the Participating Ad Hoc Group Members severally, but not jointly, agrees that it shall purchase all the Unsubscribed Shares up to the maximum amount set forth on Annex 1.  In order to ensure its payment obligations in connection with the foregoing, upon the entry of the Agreement Order by the Bankruptcy Court, each Participating Ad Hoc Group Member will deposit into an escrow (on terms reasonably acceptable to such Participating Ad Hoc Group Member and the Investors) cash in the amount set forth opposite such Participating Ad Hoc Group Member’s name on Annex I, such cash to be released as part of and upon completion of the Rights Offering all as more fully described in an escrow agreement to be reasonably agreed upon by the Participating Ad Hoc Group Members and the Investors.

3. Sharing of Commitment Fee; Amendment of SPBA.  As consideration for the obligations and undertakings of the Participating Ad Hoc Group Members set forth in Section 2(b) above, the Investors agree that:
 
(a) on the Closing Date, each Participating Ad Hoc Group Member who has fulfilled its obligations hereunder shall receive the number of Commitment Fee Shares set forth on Annex 1 as its portion of the Commitment Fee; for the avoidance of doubt, the Commitment Fee to which each Investor is entitled under the SPBA shall be proportionally reduced only by the Participating Ad Hoc Group’s Commitment Fee;
 
(b) the SPBA shall be amended to provide that the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one legal advisor to the Ad Hoc Group (which shall be Brown Rudnick LLP) incurred on or after May 24, 2013 and not to exceed $150,000; and
 
(c) no amendments shall be made to the SPBA that are materially adverse to any Ad Hoc Group Member.
 
4. Termination of Agreement.
 
(a) The Investors may terminate this Agreement, with respect to any Ad Hoc Group Member, upon the occurrence of any breach by such Ad Hoc Group Member of any of its representations or warranties or agreements, and thereafter all of the obligations of the Investors with respect to such Ad Hoc Group Member hereunder shall be of no further force or effect.
 
(b) This Agreement shall automatically terminate and all of the obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be of no further force or effect in the event that:
 
(i) the Debtors confirm a chapter 11 plan of reorganization other than the Chapter 11 Plan and such alternative plan becomes effective and has been substantially consummated, or
 
(ii) the SPBA is terminated pursuant to the terms thereof, or
 
(iii) the Investors and the Ad Hoc Group mutually agree to such termination in writing; or

(i) a material breach of this Agreement by any Investor; or
 
(ii) since the date of this Agreement, there shall have occurred or exist any changes, circumstances or events that have had or would reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; provided that in no event shall any effect directly resulting from the public announcement of and compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the SPBA or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby constitute a termination event; or
 
(iii) if a court grants any request by any person to amend or modify in any material respect the restructuring contemplated in the Chapter 11 Plan or any documents related thereto in a manner that is not satisfactory to such Ad Hoc Group Member, in its sole discretion; or
 
(iv) if any amendment is made to the SPBA that is  materially adverse to any such Ad Hoc Group Member.

EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.  ALTERNATIVELY, IN THE EVENT THAT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT DENIES SUCH JURIDICTION, EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BY IT OR AGAINST IT WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN A FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, THE CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS AND SUBMITS ITSELF TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF EACH SUCH COURT, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING.

9. Specific Performance.  It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any such breach, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder.
 
10. Successors and Assigns; Severability; Several Obligations.  This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  The invalidity or unenforceability at any time of any provision hereof shall not affect or diminish in any way the continuing validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof.

(“Deutsche Bank” together with CVI, Greywolf, and Kingdon, the “Investors”); Silver Point Finance, LLC, acting individually or through one or more of its affiliates or funds (the “Assignee”); and K-V Pharmaceutical Company (the “Company”).  The Investors, the Assignee and the Company are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the SPBA (defined below) receipt of a copy of which is hereby acknowledged by the Assignee.

WHEREAS, on August 4, 2012, each of the Company, K-V Discovery Solutions, Inc., DrugTech Corporation, FP1096, Inc., K-V Generic Pharmaceuticals, Inc., K-V Solutions USA, Inc., Ther-Rx Corporation and Zeratech Technologies USA, Inc. (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq., before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”);

WHEREAS, the Debtors and the Investors are seeking to implement a restructuring of the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Chapter 11 Plan and the SPBA;

WHEREAS, on June 6, 2013, the Company and the Investors entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Stock Purchase and Backstop Agreement (as further amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “SPBA”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan and the SPBA, the Company will conduct the Rights Offering;

WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the Rights Offering, pursuant to the SPBA, and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth therein, among other things, each Investor, severally and not jointly, committed to purchase in the Rights Offering such Investor’s pro rata share of the Rights Offering Shares and in exchange for such commitments, among other things, the Company agreed, pursuant to the terms of the Chapter 11 Plan and the SPBA, to pay the Investors the Commitment Fee; and

WHEREAS, in exchange for the Assignee’s agreement to support the Chapter 11 Plan and commitment to purchase Direct Subscription Shares and Unsubscribed Shares on the terms set forth herein, the Investors agree to reduce the Commitment Fee to which they are otherwise entitled under the SPBA and to permit the Company to issue Commitment Fee Shares to the Assignee, on the terms set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Purchase of Direct Subscription Shares and Unsubscribed Shares; Default.
 
 1.1           Purchase of Direct Subscription Shares and Unsubscribed Shares.  Simultaneously with the Closing under the SPBA, each of the Parties agrees, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the SPBA, that:
 
 (a)           (i) the Company shall reduce the number of Direct Subscription Shares to be sold to each Investor pursuant to Section 1.2 of the SPBA by the number of Direct Subscription Shares set forth below such Investor’s name on the signature pages hereto, (ii) the Company shall, in lieu of selling the aggregate number of such Direct Subscription Shares as determined pursuant to the preceding clause (i) to the Investors, sell and deliver such Direct Subscription Shares to the Assignee on the same terms as such Direct Subscription Shares were to be sold and delivered to the Investors, and (iii) the Assignee shall purchase all such Direct Subscription Shares at a price per share equal to the Purchase Price; provided that to the extent that the aggregate number of Direct Subscription Shares changes, the number of Direct Subscription Shares to be sold and delivered to the Assignee under this Section 1.1(a) (as reflected on the signature pages hereto) shall automatically be adjusted to ensure that the Assignee maintains the same proportion of Direct Subscription Shares to be purchased hereunder;
 
 (b)           if the Investors are required to purchase any Unsubscribed Shares pursuant to Section 1.1(c) of the SPBA, then (i) the Company shall reduce the number of Unsubscribed Shares to be sold to each Investor by the number (rounded to the nearest whole number) equal to the product of (A) the total number of Unsubscribed Shares and (B) the Backstop Commitment Percentage set forth below such Investor’s name on the signature pages hereto, (ii) the Company shall, in lieu of selling the aggregate number of such Unsubscribed Shares as determined pursuant to the preceding clause (i) to the Investors, sell and deliver such Unsubscribed Shares to the Assignee on the same terms as such Unsubscribed Shares were to be sold and delivered to the Investors, and (iii) the Assignee shall purchase all such Unsubscribed Shares at a price per share equal to the Purchase Price; provided that in no event (X) shall the Assignee be required to purchase Unsubscribed Shares that consist of Rights Offering Shares that an Investor was obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 1.1(b) of the SPBA (as such Section 1.1(b) (including Appendix 1 referenced therein) is in effect as of the date hereof, without any subsequent amendment or modification thereto) or (Y) shall the Assignee be required to purchase Unsubscribed Shares under this Section 1.1(b) in an aggregate amount exceeding $66,700,000 (in which case, any excess Unsubscribed Shares shall be purchased by the Investors on a pro rata basis in accordance with the terms of the SBPA); and
 
 (c)           if the Assignee complies with its obligations under this Section 1.1 and its obligation to support the Chapter 11 Plan, in each case, in all respects, then (i) the Company shall reduce the number of Commitment Fee Shares to be issued and delivered to each Investor by the number of Commitment Fee Shares set forth below such Investor’s name on the signature pages hereto (and each Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall no longer have any obligation under the SPBA to issue and deliver such Commitment Fee Shares to the Investors), and (ii) the Company shall, in lieu of issuing and delivering the aggregate number of such Commitment Fee Shares as determined pursuant to the preceding clause (i) to the Investors, issue and deliver such Commitment Fee Shares to the Assignee on the same terms as such Commitment Fee Shares were to be issued and delivered to the Investors; provided that to the extent that the aggregate number of Commitment Fee Shares changes, the number of Commitment Fee Shares to be issued and delivered to the Assignee under this Section 1.1(c) (as reflected on the signature pages hereto) shall automatically be adjusted to ensure that the Assignee maintains the same proportion of Commitment Fee Shares to be purchased hereunder.
 
 1.2           Default.  If the Assignee should default in its obligation to purchase any Direct Subscription Shares or Unsubscribed Shares that it is agreeing to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.1 (the “Assignee Defaulted Shares”), the Parties agree that:
 
 (a)           the Company shall reduce distributions under the Chapter 11 Plan to the Assignee in respect of the DIP Credit Agreement (as defined in the Chapter 11 Plan) in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price of the Assignee Defaulted Shares, and if the amount of such distributions is less than the aggregate purchase price of the Assignee Defaulted Shares, then additionally, reduce distributions under the Chapter 11 Plan to the Assignee in respect of the Assignee’s Senior Secured Notes Claim (as defined in the Chapter 11 Plan) such that the aggregate amount so reduced equals the aggregate purchase price of the Assignee Defaulted Shares (an “Assignee Default Exchange”) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, upon such reduction in distributions, the Company shall deliver to the Assignee the Assignee Defaulted Shares); and
 
 (b)           in connection with any Assignee Default Exchange, the Assignee hereby constitutes and appoints the Company as the Assignee’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the Assignee’s name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, to execute (i) any agreements, instruments of conveyance and assignment as may be necessary, appropriate, proper, advisable, incidental or convenient to consummate such Assignee Default Exchange (including, without limitation, any amendment to the DIP Credit Agreement, if necessary), and (ii) such related instruments as may be necessary, appropriate, proper, advisable, incidental or convenient to evidence such consummation.
 
2. Representations and Warranties.
 
 2.1           Investors.  Each Investor represents and warrants that it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

 2.3           Company.  The Company represents and warrants that it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
3. Certain Actions.  The Investors and the Company shall not (a) amend the SPBA, (b) waive any condition to the Chapter 11 Plan, or (c) consent to any amendment to the Chapter 11 Plan or the New First Lien Term Loan (as defined in the Chapter 11 Plan) in each case in a way that is materially adverse to the Assignee without the prior written consent of the Assignee.
 
4. Transfers.  The Assignee agrees that, so long as this Agreement has not been terminated, the Assignee shall not sell, transfer, loan, hypothecate, assign or otherwise dispose of, in whole or in part, any of the DIP Claims or Senior Secured Notes Claims or any option thereon or any right or interest therein unless (a) prior to or concurrently with such transaction, the transferee thereof agrees in writing to support the Chapter 11 Plan and otherwise act consistent with the terms of the agreement related to matters of plan support as stated on the record of the Bankruptcy Court on June 7, 2013 and (b) if, as a result of such transaction, the Assignee would hold less than $70,000,000 of DIP Claims and Senior Secured Notes Claims, in the aggregate, then prior to or concurrently with such transaction, the transferee thereof agrees in writing to be bound by all terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Assignee by executing and delivering a joinder agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Requisite Investors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such sale, transfer, loan, hypothecation, assignment or other disposition by the Assignee will relieve the Assignee of its obligations under Section 1.1 hereof if the assignee, transferee or other counterparty thereto fails to perform such obligations.  The Assignee agrees that any sale, transfer or assignment of any DIP Claims or Senior Secured Notes Claims that does not comply with the terms and procedures set forth herein shall be deemed void ab initio.
 
5. Amendments and Waivers.  This Agreement may not be modified, amended or supplemented except in a writing signed by the duly authorized representative of each Party.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Silver Point or any Investor Party fails to purchase any Direct Purchase Shares (pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Share Purchase Agreement, as applicable), the Debtors shall reduce distributions under this Plan to each such Party in respect of its Allowed DIP Claims, if any, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of its Unfunded Direct Purchase Obligation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the amount of Silver Point’s Allowed DIP Claims related distributions is less than the aggregate amount of its Unfunded Direct Purchase Obligation, then, in accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Debtors shall additionally reduce distributions under this Plan to Silver Point in respect of Silver Point’s Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claims such that the aggregate amount so reduced equals the aggregate amount of the remaining Unfunded Direct Purchase Obligation.
 
(d) Backstop Commitment.  (i) Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, each of the Investor Parties (other than Kingdon) shall be obligated, severally not jointly, and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, to purchase its applicable portion of Unsubscribed Shares (as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement);  (ii) Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, Silver Point shall be obligated, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement, to purchase its applicable portion of Unsubscribed Shares (as set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Silver Point should fail to purchase any of its portion of Unsubscribed Shares (pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement), the Debtors shall reduce distributions under this Plan to Silver Point in respect of Silver Point’s Allowed DIP Claims in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Unfunded Backstop Obligation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the amount of such Allowed DIP Claims related distributions is less than the aggregate amount of the Unfunded Backstop Obligation, then the Debtors shall additionally reduce distributions under this Plan to Silver Point in respect of Silver Point’s Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claims such that the aggregate amount so reduced equals the aggregate amount of the remaining Unfunded Backstop Obligation; and (iii) Pursuant to the PSA, each member of the Participating Ad Hoc Group shall be obligated, severally not jointly, and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in the PSA, to purchase its applicable portion of Unsubscribed Shares (as set forth in the PSA).

7.13. Intercompany Interests.
 
No Intercompany Interests shall be cancelled pursuant to this Plan, and all Intercompany Interests shall continue in place following the Effective Date, solely for the purpose of maintaining the existing corporate structure of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors.
 
7.14. Insured Claims.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to Section 12.12(b) hereof), to the extent the Debtors have insurance with respect to any Allowed General Unsecured Claim, Allowed Existing Securities Law Claim or Allowed Equitably Subordinated Claim, the holder of such Allowed Claim shall (i) have an Allowed Claim in its applicable Class for any SIR Claim, (ii) be paid any amount in excess of any SIR Claim from the proceeds of insurance to the extent that the Claim is insured, and (iii) to the extent not duplicative of (i), receive the treatment provided for in this Plan to the extent the applicable insurance policy does not provide coverage with respect to any portion of the Claim.
 
7.15. Comprehensive Settlement of Claims and Controversies.
 
Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided under this Plan, the provisions of this Plan will constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims or controversies relating to the rights that a holder of a Claim or Interest may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest or any distribution to be made pursuant to this Plan on account of any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest. The entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, as of the Effective Date, of the compromise or settlement of all such claims or controversies and the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that all such compromises or settlements are: (a) in the best interest of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and their respective Estates and property, and of holders of Claims or Interests; and (b) fair, equitable and reasonable.
 
7.16. Equitably Subordinated Claims.
 
(a) Upon entry of the Confirmation Order, any Equitably Subordinated Claims not previously equitably subordinated pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court and that are subject to an objection filed by the Debtors at least seven (7) days prior to the Voting Deadline shall be deemed equitably subordinated pursuant to section 510(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, as of the date of such entry, of such equitable subordination.
 
(b) To the extent the Hermelin Claims are determined by Final Order not to be properly classified as Class 8(b) Equitably Subordinated Claims, such Claims shall be classified as Class 7 General Unsecured Claims and Disallowed in full based on, among other things, the Debtors’ allegations in that certain action captioned K-V Pharmaceutical Company v. Hermelin, Case No. 11SL-CC04054, pending in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, State of Missouri; provided, that to the extent the Debtors have insurance coverage for the Hermelin Indemnification Claims, such Hermelin Indemnification Claims shall be satisfied from the proceeds of such insurance in accordance with Section 7.14 hereof.
 
(c) To the extent the Hermelin Claims are determined by Final Order not to be (i) properly classified as Class 8(b) Equitably Subordinated Claims or (ii) Disallowed in full, then such Claims shall be Allowed as Class 7 General Unsecured Claims in an aggregate amount not to exceed $41,777.16, and receive the treatment provided under Section 5.7 hereof; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Debtors have insurance coverage for the Hermelin Indemnification Claims, such Hermelin Indemnification Claims shall be satisfied from the proceeds of such insurance in accordance with Section 7.14 hereof.
 
ARTICLE VIII.
 
DISTRIBUTIONS
 
8.1. Distributions.
 
The Disbursing Agent shall make all Plan Distributions to the appropriate holders of Allowed Claims in accordance with the terms of this Plan. To the extent provided in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and Convertible Subordinated Notes Indenture, as applicable, and permitted by applicable law, all Plan Distributions made by the Disbursing Agent to Class 3 (Senior Secured Notes Claims) and Class 6 (Convertible Subordinated Notes Claims) shall be subject to any charging liens in favor of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture Trustee and Convertible Subordinated Notes Indenture Trustee, respectively.
 
8.2. No Postpetition Interest on Claims.
 
Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, Confirmation Order or other order of the Bankruptcy Court, or required by applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, and no holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on such Claim on or after the Petition Date.
 
8.3. Date of Distributions.
 
Unless otherwise provided herein, any distributions and deliveries to be made hereunder shall be made on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable, provided that the Reorganized Debtors may utilize periodic distribution dates to the extent appropriate. In the event that any payment or act under this Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date.
 
8.4.  
Distribution Record Date.
 
(a) As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the various lists of holders of Claims in each of the Classes (other than Classes 3 and 6), as maintained by the Debtors, or their agents, shall be deemed closed and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any of the Claims after the Distribution Record Date. Neither the Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to recognize any transfer of Claims occurring after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. Additionally, with respect to payment of any Cure Amounts or any Cure Disputes in connection with the assumption and/or assignment of the Debtors’ executory contracts and leases, neither the Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to recognize or deal with any party other than the non-Debtor party to the underlying executory contract or lease, even if such non-Debtor party has sold, assigned or otherwise transferred its Claim for a Cure Amount.
 
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any distribution under this Plan to be effected through the facilities of DTC (whether by means of book-entry exchange, free delivery, or otherwise), including to holders of Claims in Classes 3 and 6, the Debtors will be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under the Plan with such holders to the extent consistent with the customary practices of DTC used in connection with such distribution. With respect to the New Common Stock to be distributed to holders of Allowed Convertible Subordinated Notes Claims, all of the shares of the New Common Stock shall be issued in the name of such holder or its nominee(s) in accordance with DTC’s book-entry exchange procedures, provided, that such shares of New Common Stock are permitted to be held through DTC’s book-entry system; provided that to the extent the New Common Stock is not eligible for distribution in accordance with DTC’s customary practices, Reorganized KV will take all such reasonable actions as may be required to cause distributions of New Common Stock to holders of Allowed Convertible Subordinated Notes Claims.
 
8.5. Disbursing Agent.
 
All distributions under this Plan shall be made by the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent on and after the Effective Date as provided herein. The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court and, in the event that the Disbursing Agent is so otherwise ordered, all costs and expenses of procuring any such bond or surety shall be borne by Reorganized Debtors. Furthermore, any such entity required to give a bond shall notify the Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. Trustee in writing before terminating any such bond that is obtained.
 
8.6. Delivery of Distribution.
 
Subject to Section 8.4(b) of the Plan, the Disbursing Agent will issue, or cause to be issued, and authenticate, as applicable, the applicable Plan Consideration, and subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9010, make all distributions or payments to any holder of an Allowed Claim as and when required by this Plan at: (a) the address of such holder on the books and records of the Debtors or their agents; or (b) at the address in any written notice of address change delivered to the Debtors or the applicable Disbursing Agent, including any addresses included on any filed proofs of Claim or transfers of Claim filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001. In the event that any distribution to any holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution or payment to such holder shall be made unless and until the applicable Disbursing Agent has been notified of the then current address of such holder, at which time or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter such distribution shall be made to such holder without interest, provided, however, such distributions or payments shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of the later of one year from: (i) the Effective Date; and (ii) the first Distribution Date after such holder’s Claim is first Allowed.
 
8.7. Unclaimed Property.
 
One year from the later of: (i) the Effective Date, and (ii) the first Distribution Date after the applicable Claim is first Allowed, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors or the successors or assigns of the Reorganized Debtors, and the Claim of any other holder to such property or interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred. The Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent shall have no obligation to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim other than by reviewing the Debtors’ books and records, or proofs of Claim filed against the Debtors, as reflected on the claims register maintained by the Claims Agent.
 
8.8. Satisfaction of Claims.
 
Unless otherwise provided herein, any distributions and deliveries to be made on account of Allowed Claims hereunder shall be in complete settlement, satisfaction and discharge of such Allowed Claims.
 
8.9. Manner of Payment Under Plan.
 
Except as specifically provided herein, at the option of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable), any Cash payment to be made hereunder may be made by a check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements or customary practices of the Debtors.
 
8.10. Fractional Shares/De Minimis Cash Distributions.
 
No fractional shares of New Common Stock shall be distributed. When any distribution would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of shares of New Common Stock that is not a whole number, the shares of the New Common Stock subject to such distribution will be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number as follows: (i) fractions equal to or greater than ½ will be rounded to the next higher whole number; and (ii) fractions less than ½ will be rounded to the next lower whole number; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any rounding of Rights Offering Stock to be distributed, which shall be governed by the Rights Offering Procedures and Section 7.12(c) of this Plan. The total number of shares of New Common Stock to be distributed on account of Allowed Claims will be adjusted as necessary to account for the rounding provided for in this Plan. No consideration will be provided in lieu of fractional shares that are rounded down. Neither the Reorganized Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to make a distribution that is less than one (1) share of New Common Stock or $50.00 in Cash. Fractional shares of New Common Stock that are not distributed in accordance with this Section 8.10 shall be returned to Reorganized KV.
 
8.11. No Distribution in Excess of Amount of Allowed Claim.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no holder of an Allowed Claim shall, on account of such Allowed Claim, receive a Plan Distribution (of a value set forth herein) in excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim plus any postpetition interest on such Claim, to the extent such interest is permitted by Section 8.2 of this Plan.
 
8.12. Exemption from Securities Laws.
 
The issuance of and the distribution under the Plan of the New Common Stock Securities, including the Subscription Rights, the Rights Offering Stock, the Direct Purchase Shares, the Commitment Fee Shares, and the Convertible Subordinated Notes Equity Distribution, shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act any other applicable securities laws pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, to the maximum extent permitted thereunder.   Subject to any transfer restrictions contained in the Certificate of Incorporation of Reorganized KV and/or the New Stockholders Agreement, the New Common Stock issued on account of the Convertible Subordinated Notes Equity Distribution may be resold by the holders thereof without restriction, except to the extent that any such holder is deemed to be an “underwriter” as defined in section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.  All of the New Common Stock Securities other than the Convertible Subordinated Notes Equity Distribution may not be sold or transferred unless there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the New Common Stock or the securities are sold or transferred in a transaction that is exempt from or not subject to the registration and prospectus delivery requirement of the Securities Act and otherwise in compliance with state securities laws.  The availability of the exemption under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or any other applicable securities laws shall not be a condition to occurrence of the Effective Date of the Plan.
 
8.13. Setoffs and Recoupments.
 
Each Reorganized Debtor, or such entity’s designee as instructed by such Reorganized Debtor, may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, set off and/or recoup against any Allowed Claim (other than a Senior Secured Notes Claim or a Convertible Subordinated Notes Claim), and the distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan on account of such Allowed Claim, any and all claims, rights and Causes of Action that a Reorganized Debtor or its successors may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim after the Effective Date; provided, however, that neither the failure to effect a setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by a Reorganized Debtor or its successor of any and all claims, rights and Causes of Action that a Reorganized Debtor or its successor may possess against such holder.
 
8.14. Rights and Powers of Disbursing Agent.
 
(a) Powers of Disbursing Agent. The Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to: (i) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under this Plan; (ii) make all applicable distributions or payments contemplated hereby; (iii) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (iv) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court (including any order issued after the Effective Date), pursuant to this Plan, or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions hereof.
 
(b) Expenses Incurred on or After the Effective Date. Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, and subject to the written agreement of the Reorganized Debtors, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective Date (including, without limitation, taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement Claims (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney and other professional fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.
 
8.15. Withholding and Reporting Requirements.
 
In connection with this Plan and all distributions hereunder, the Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority, and all Plan Distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including, without limitation, liquidating a portion of any Plan Distribution to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes or establishing any other mechanisms the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent believe are reasonable and appropriate, including requiring a holder of a Claim to submit appropriate tax and withholding certifications. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan: (i) each holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution under this Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations on account of such distribution; and (ii) no Plan Distributions shall be required to be made to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to this Plan unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the Reorganized Debtors for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations or has, to the Reorganized Debtors’ satisfaction, established an exemption therefrom.
 
8.16. Cooperation with Disbursing Agent.
 
The Reorganized Debtors shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Disbursing Agent with the amount of Claims and the identity and addresses of holders of Claims, in each case, as set forth in the Debtors’ and/or Reorganized Debtors’ books and records. The Reorganized Debtors will cooperate in good faith with the Disbursing Agent to comply with the reporting and withholding requirements outlined in Section 8.15 hereof.
 
8.17. Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.
 
Any New Common Stock to be distributed under the Plan to an entity required to file a Premerger Notification and Report Form under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, shall not be distributed until the notification and waiting periods applicable under such Act to such entity shall have expired or been terminated. In the event any applicable notification and waiting periods do not expire without objection, the Reorganized Debtors or their agent shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled to sell such entity’s shares of New Common Stock that were to be distributed under the Plan to such entity, and thereafter shall distribute the proceeds of the sale to such entity.
 
ARTICLE IX.
 
PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CLAIMS
 
9.1. Objections to Claims.
 
Other than with respect to Fee Claims, only the Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to object to Claims after the Effective Date. Any objections to those Claims (other than Administrative Expense Claims), shall be served and filed on or before the later of: (i) the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Date; and (ii) such other date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court, whether fixed before or after the date specified in clause (i) hereof. Any Claims filed after the Bar Date or Administrative Bar Date, as applicable, shall be deemed disallowed and expunged in their entirety without further order of the Bankruptcy Court or any action being required on the part of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, unless the Person or entity wishing to file such untimely Claim has received Bankruptcy Court authority to do so. Notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, an objection to a Claim shall be deemed properly served on the claimant if the objecting party effects service in any of the following manners:  (i) in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004; (ii) by first class mail, postage prepaid, on the signatory on the proof of claim as well as all other representatives identified in the proof of claim or any attachment thereto; or (iii) if counsel has agreed to or is otherwise deemed to accept service, by first class mail, postage prepaid, on any counsel that has appeared on the claimant’s behalf in the Reorganization Cases (so long as such appearance has not been subsequently withdrawn). From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
 
9.2. Amendment to Claims.
 
From and after the Effective Date, no Claim may be filed to increase or assert additional claims not reflected in an already filed Claim (or Claim scheduled, unless superseded by a filed Claim, on the applicable Debtor’s schedules of assets and liabilities filed in the Reorganization Cases) asserted by such claimant and any such Claim shall be deemed disallowed and expunged in its entirety without further order of the Bankruptcy Court or any action being required on the part of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors unless the claimant has obtained the Bankruptcy Court’s prior approval to file such amended or increased Claim.
 
9.3. Disputed Claims.
 
(a) No Distributions or Payments Pending Allowance. Except as provided in this Section 9.3, Disputed Claims shall not be entitled to any Plan Distributions unless and until such Claims become Allowed Claims.
 
(b) Establishment of Disputed Priority Claims Reserve. On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtors shall set aside and reserve, for the benefit of each holder of a Disputed Administrative Expense Claim, Disputed Priority Tax Claim, Disputed Priority Non-Tax Claim, and Disputed Other Secured Claim, Cash in an amount equal to (i) the amount of such Claim as estimated by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to an Estimation Order, (ii) if no Estimation Order has been entered with respect to such Claim, the amount in which such Disputed Claim is proposed to be allowed in any pending objection filed by the Debtors, or (iii) if no Estimation Order has been entered with respect to such Claim, and no objection to such Claim is pending on the Effective Date, (A) the amount listed in the Debtors’ schedules of assets and liabilities filed in the Reorganization Cases (the “Schedules”) or (B) if a timely filed proof of claim or application for payment has been filed with the Bankruptcy Court or Claims Agent, as applicable, the amount set forth in such timely filed proof of claim or application for payment, as applicable.  The Reorganized Debtors, in their reasonable discretion, may increase the amount reserved as to any particular Disputed Claim. Such reserved amounts, collectively, shall constitute the “Disputed Priority Claims Reserve”.
 
(c) Establishment of Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve. On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtors shall set aside and reserve, from the General Unsecured Claims Distribution, for the benefit of each holder of a Disputed General Unsecured Claim, Cash in an amount equal to the Plan Distribution to which the holder of such Disputed Claim would be entitled if such Disputed Claim were an Allowed Claim, in an amount equal to (i) the amount of such Claim as estimated by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to an Estimation Order, (ii) if no Estimation Order has been entered with respect to such Claim, the amount in which such Disputed Claim is proposed to be allowed in any pending objection filed by the Debtors, or (iii) if no Estimation Order has been entered with respect to such Claim, and no objection to such Claim is pending on the Effective Date, (A) the amount listed in the Schedules or (B) if a timely filed proof of claim or application for payment has been filed with the Bankruptcy Court or Claims Agent, as applicable, the amount set forth in such timely filed proof of claim or application for payment, as applicable.  The Reorganized Debtors, in their discretion, may increase the amount reserved as to any particular Disputed Claim. Such reserved amounts, collectively, shall constitute the “Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve”.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors shall not be required to reserve any Cash or other consideration on account of any Disputed General Unsecured Claim the Debtors reasonably believe is covered by insurance; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors shall reserve Cash in an amount equal to the Plan Distribution to which the holder of any such Disputed General Unsecured Claim would be entitled on account of any SIR Claim that would be Allowed if such Disputed General Unsecured Claim were an Allowed Claim, in the amount of such SIR Claim; provided that the amount of the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve shall be determined in consultation with the Creditors’ Committee.
 
(d) Plan Distributions to Holders of Subsequently Allowed Claims. On each Distribution Date (or such earlier date as determined by the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent in their sole discretion but subject to this Section 9.3), the Disbursing Agent will make distributions or payments from the applicable Disputed Claims Reserve on account of any Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim since the occurrence of the previous Distribution Date. The Disbursing Agent shall distribute in respect of such newly Allowed Claims the Plan Distributions to which holders of such Claims would have been entitled under this Plan if such newly Allowed Claims were fully or partially Allowed, as the case may be, on the Effective Date, less direct and actual expenses, fees, or other direct costs of maintaining Plan Consideration on account of such Disputed Claims.
 
(e) Distribution of Reserved Plan Consideration Upon Disallowance.
 
(i)  
To the extent any Disputed Administrative Expense Claims, Disputed Priority Tax Claims, Disputed Priority Non-Tax Claims, or Disputed Other Secured Claim has become Disallowed in full or in part (in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Plan), any Plan Consideration held by the Reorganized Debtors on account of, or to pay, such Disputed Claim shall become the sole and exclusive property of Reorganized KV or its successors or assigns.
 
(ii)  
After all Disputed General Unsecured Claims have been either Allowed or Disallowed, each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall receive its Pro Rata Share of any Cash remaining in the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve.
 
9.4. Estimation of Claims.
 
The Debtors and/or Reorganized Debtors may request that the Bankruptcy Court enter an Estimation Order with respect to any Claim, pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, for purposes of determining the Allowed amount of such Claim regardless of whether any Person has previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim for purposes of determining the allowed amount of such Claim at any time. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim for allowance purposes, that estimated amount will constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on such Claim, the objecting party may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate payment on such Claim. All of the objection, estimation, settlement, and resolution procedures set forth in the Plan are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, resolved or withdrawn by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
 
9.5. Expenses Incurred On or After the Effective Date.
 
Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, and subject to the written agreement of the Reorganized Debtors, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by any Professional Person or the Claims Agent on or after the Effective Date in connection with implementation of this Plan, including without limitation, reconciliation of, objection to, and settlement of Claims, shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.
 
ARTICLE X.
 
EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
 
10.1. General Treatment.
 
As of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and the payment of any applicable Cure Amount, all executory contracts and unexpired leases identified on the Schedule of Assumed Contracts and Leases in the Plan Supplement shall be deemed assumed, and all other executory contracts and unexpired leases of the Debtors shall be deemed rejected, except that: (i) any executory contracts and unexpired leases that previously have been assumed or rejected pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court shall be treated as provided in such Final Order; and (ii) all executory contracts and unexpired leases that are the subject of a separate motion to assume or reject under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code pending on the Effective Date shall be treated as is determined by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court resolving such motion. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of the assumptions and rejections described in this Section 10.1 pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each executory contract and unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of the Plan, or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption, or applicable federal law.
 
10.2. Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.
 
All Claims arising from the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases, if any, will be treated as General Unsecured Claims. Upon receipt of the Plan Distribution provided in Section 5.7 of the Plan, all such Claims shall be discharged on the Effective Date, and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or their respective properties or interests in property.  In the event that the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan results in damages to the other party or parties to such contract or lease, a Claim for such damages, if not heretofore evidenced by a timely filed proof of claim, shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, or their respective properties or interests in property as agents, successors or assigns, unless a proof of claim is filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon counsel for the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after the effective date of such rejection (which may be the Effective Date, the date on which the Debtors reject the applicable contract or lease as provided in Section 10.3(c) below, or pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court).
 
10.3. Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.
 
(a) Except to the extent that less favorable treatment has been agreed to by the non-Debtor party or parties to each such executory contract or unexpired lease, any monetary defaults arising under each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the appropriate amount (the “Cure Amount”) in Cash on the later of thirty (30) days after: (i) the Effective Date; or (ii) the date on which any Cure Dispute relating to such Cure Amount has been resolved (either consensually or through judicial decision).
 
(b) No later than ten (10) calendar days prior to the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall file a schedule (the “Cure Schedule”) setting forth the Cure Amount, if any, for each executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Plan, and serve such Cure Schedule on each applicable counterparty. Any party that fails to object to the applicable Cure Amount listed on the Cure Schedule within fifteen (15) calendar days of the filing thereof, shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from disputing the Cure Amount set forth on the Cure Schedule (including a Cure Amount of $0.00) and/or from asserting any Claim against the applicable Debtor arising under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code except as set forth on the Cure Schedule.
 
(c) In the event of a dispute (each, a “Cure Dispute”) regarding: (i) the Cure Amount; (ii) the ability of the applicable Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed; or (iii) any other matter pertaining to the proposed assumption, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving such Cure Dispute and approving the assumption.

(3) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY OR AN INTEREST HEREIN IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND.
 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO A STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT DATED AS OF [ ], 2013 (AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME).  ANY PURCHASER OR TRANSFEREE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE DEEMED A PARTY TO SUCH AGREEMENT.  A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”
 
(2) Each Holder agrees, prior to any Transfer of any shares of Common Stock, to give one (1) Business Day written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such Transfer and to comply in all other respects with the provisions of Section 3.  Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed Transfer.  Each Holder agrees that it will, prior to any such Transfer, deliver to the Company a letter from such Holder’s proposed Transferee informing the Company whether or not such Transferee is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act).  Upon request by the Company, the Holder delivering such notice shall deliver a written opinion, addressed to the Company, of counsel for the Holder of such shares, stating that in the opinion of such counsel (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) such proposed Transfer does not involve a transaction requiring registration or qualification of such shares under the Securities Act provided, that the Company shall not have the right to request any such opinion and shall not be entitled to object to such Transfer if the Holder has held the Common Stock proposed to be Transferred for at least one (1) year and the Holder is not an “affiliate” of the Company as such term is defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, it being understood and agreed that any Holder who is not entitled to nominate or has not nominated an Investor Director and otherwise owns less than fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall not be an “affiliate” for this purpose; provided, further, however, that if such Holder is the largest stockholder of the Company at the time of such proposed Transfer, the Company shall have the right to request such opinion.  It is understood and agreed that the right to nominate or the nomination of an Investor Director or ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall not presumptively establish that a Holder is an “affiliate” for purposes of the previous sentence.  Such Holder of such shares shall be entitled to effect a Transfer of such shares in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company, if the Company does not reasonably object to such Transfer and request such opinion within two (2) Business Days after delivery of such notice, or, if it reasonably requests such opinion, does not reasonably object to such Transfer within two (2) Business Days after delivery of such opinion.  The Company may only object to such Transfer if in its reasonable opinion the proposed Transfer involves a transaction requiring registration or qualification of such shares under the Securities Act.  Each certificate or other instrument evidencing any such transferred Common Stock shall bear the legend set forth in Section 3(a)(i)(1) above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of Common Stock may Transfer all or a portion of its shares of Common Stock to a Permitted Transferee without complying with the terms of this Section 3(a)(i)(2) so long as such Holder provides written notice of such Transfer to the Company within three (3) Business Days after the effective date of the Transfer and the other terms of this Agreement have been satisfied.
 
(ii) Unless otherwise expressly approved by the Board, prior to the date on which the Company has a class of equity securities registered under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, no Common Stock shall be Transferred, if such Transfer would (A) result in there being more than 2,000 Holders, or 500 Holders who are not accredited investors (as such term is defined by the Commission), of record of Common Stock as determined pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or (B) otherwise require the Company to register the Company’s Common Stock under the Exchange Act or any other applicable federal or state securities laws.  The restrictions set forth in clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence shall only apply to Transfers occurring after such time that the Company has provided written notice to all Holders that there are at least 1,750 Holders or 450 Holders who are not accredited investors (as such term is defined by the Commission).  Any attempted Transfer that is prohibited by this Section 3(a)(ii) shall be null and void and shall not be effective to Transfer any Common Stock, but only to the minimum extent necessary to prevent the Transfer from being prohibited by this Section 3(a)(ii).
 
(b) Drag-Along Obligations.
 
(i) Except for a Permitted Transfer, if any Investor or Investors representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company (individually or collectively, the Exiting Holders), acting together or pursuant to a common plan, understanding or arrangement (A) enter into an agreement to Transfer to any Person, in a bona fide arm’s-length transaction to one or more third parties none of which is an Affiliate or Associate of any Exiting Holder, all the Common Stock beneficially owned by such Exiting Holders, (B) request that the Company or any subsidiary thereof consolidate or merge with any Person which is not an Affiliate or Associate of any Exiting Holder in a bona fide arm’s-length transaction (in a consolidation or merger in which (1) Holders receive cash or securities of any other Person upon such consolidation or merger and (2) such Person and/or its Affiliates become the beneficial owner of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of (x) the Company or (y) any subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company owning, controlling or otherwise constituting a majority of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (based on value) (a Merger)) or (C) request that the Company sell all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, to a Person which is not an Affiliate or Associate of any Exiting Holder in a bona fide arm’s-length transaction in which Holders receive cash or securities of such other Person upon completion of such transaction (the Person referred to in clause (A), clause (B) or clause (C) being referred to herein as Exit Transferees and any of the transactions referred to in clause (A), clause (B) or clause (C) being referred to herein as an Exit Transfer; provided, that in no event shall an Exit Transfer be deemed to include any transaction effected solely for the purpose of changing, directly or indirectly, the form of organization or the organizational structure of the Company or any of its subsidiaries), then, subject to the terms of this Section 3(b), such Exiting Holders may elect to require that each of the other Holders (each, a Drag-Along Holder) Transfer to such Exit Transferees all the Common Stock beneficially owned by such Drag-Along Holder, on the same terms and conditions as those applicable to the Exiting Holders (in the case of clause (A) and/or that each Drag-Along Holder vote (or consent in writing, as the case may be) in favor of the Merger or sale of assets (in the case of clause (B) or clause (C)).
 
(ii) The Exiting Holders shall exercise the rights in Section 3(b)(i) by providing to the Company written notice of any Exit Transfer (the Drag-Along Notice), setting forth the terms of the proposed Exit Transfer (including the identity of the counterparties thereto) and the proposed closing date.  The Company shall provide each Drag-Along Holder with a copy of the Drag-Along Notice within three (3) Business Days of receipt from the Exiting Holder.
 
(iii) All Transfers pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be consummated contemporaneously at the principal offices of the Company on the later of (i) a Business Day not less than fifteen (15) or more than sixty (60) days after the Drag-Along Notice is delivered to Drag-Along Holders or (ii) the fifth Business Day following the expiration or termination of all waiting periods under HSR, to the extent applicable to such Transfer, or at such other time or place as the Exiting Holders and the Exit Transferees may agree.  The certificates or other instruments evidencing the Common Stock Transferred pursuant to the Exit Transfer shall be duly endorsed for transfer, and delivered on such closing date against payment for the purchase price of such Common Stock, together with all other documents which are necessary to effect such Transfer.
 
(iv) All Drag-Along Holders shall execute and deliver any documents reasonably requested by the Exiting Holders, including any agreement containing indemnification obligations (which shall be several and not joint obligations and shall be no more extensive or adverse to any Drag-Along Holder than those applicable to the Exiting Holders) on the part of the Exiting Holders and each Drag-Along Holder, provided that the indemnification obligation of each Drag-Along Holder shall solely consist of and (A) shall be limited to the percentage of such consideration that is equal to any comparable percentage limitation with respect to the consideration payable to the Exiting Holders, in the case of representations and warranties made by such Drag-Along Holder (which shall be limited to customary representations regarding its existence, authority to participate in such Exit Transfer, due execution, ownership of its Common Stock and ability to Transfer such Common Stock free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances, as applicable), (B) shall be computed pro rata based on the aggregate consideration payable to all Holders, in the case of representations and warranties made by the Company, and (C) shall not under any circumstances exceed in the aggregate the net proceeds actually paid to such Drag-Along Holder upon completion of the transaction. Any documented and reasonable costs and expenses incurred directly in connection with the Exit Transfer by the Exiting Holders shall be paid out of the gross proceeds of the Exit Transfer to the extent permissible by the terms and conditions of such Exit Transfer, and, if so permissible, no Drag-Along Holder shall have any direct liability for any such costs and expenses.  No Drag-Along Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictive covenant in connection with any Exit Transfer.  In addition, the Drag-Along Holders shall not exercise any rights of appraisal or dissenters rights that such Holder may have (whether under applicable law or otherwise) or could potentially have or acquire in connection with any Exit Transfer or any other proposal that is necessary or desirable to consummate the Exit Transfer.
 
(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (A) each Drag-Along Holder shall be treated equally and on a pro rata basis with each other Drag-Along Holder and the Exiting Holders, and (B) no Exiting Holder shall be entitled, directly or indirectly, to receive a control premium or an extra or special benefit not shared on a pro rata basis by all other holders of Common Stock (excluding any preferential rights of any Security expressly set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation) with respect to such Exiting Holder’s shares.
 
(c) Tag-Along Rights.  Except for a Permitted Transfer, if (X) Exiting Holders propose an Exit Transfer and do not elect to exercise their rights pursuant to Section 3(b) to require each other Holder to Transfer the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holders to the Exit Transferees, or (Y) any Investor or Investors (such Investor or Investors shall be deemed to be “Exiting Holders” for purposes of this Section 3(c)), acting together or pursuant to a common plan, understanding or arrangement, elect to enter into an agreement to Transfer to any Person, in a bona fide arm’s-length transaction to one or more third parties none of which is an Affiliate of any Exiting Holder, fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company (any such Transfer pursuant to clause (X) or (Y), a “Partial Exit Transfer”), the Holders who are not Exiting Holders in such Partial Exit Transfer (the “Non-Selling Holders”) shall have the right to participate in such Partial Exit Transfer on the following terms:
 
(i) The Exiting Holders shall give the Company prompt written notice (the Notice of Intent), setting forth the terms of each proposed Partial Exit Transfer (including the identity of the counterparties thereto) and the proposed closing date.
 
(ii) The Company shall deliver the Notice of Intent to each Non-Selling Holder within three (3) Business Days of receipt from the Exiting Holders.
 
(iii) In connection with any Partial Exit Transfer, each Non-Selling Holder shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to participate in such Partial Exit Transfer on the same terms and conditions as those applicable to the Exiting Holders, including, in the case of an Exit Transfer pursuant to Section 3(b)(i)(B) or Section 3(b)(i)(C), that each Non-Selling Holder vote (or consent in writing, as the case may be) in favor of the Merger or sale of assets.
 
(iv) The Non-Selling Holders must exercise their “tag-along” rights by giving written notice to the Exiting Holders within twenty (20) days of the delivery of a Notice of Intent by the Company to the Non-Selling Holders (the Tag-Along Acceptance Period), and, in the case of a Partial Exit Transfer specified in clause (Y) of Section 3(c) above, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock that such Non-Selling Holder desires to include in the Partial Exit Transfer.  Each Non-Selling Holder exercising these “tag-along rights” is referred to as a “Tag-Along Holder.”   The Exiting Holders shall attempt to obtain inclusion in the Partial Exit Transfer of the entire number of shares of Common Stock which the Tag-Along Holders beneficially own and are seeking to include.  In the event the Exiting Holders shall be unable to obtain the inclusion of such entire number of shares of Common Stock in such Partial Exit Transfer, the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold in the Partial Exit Transfer by the Exiting Holders and each Tag-Along Holder shall be reduced on a pro rata basis according to the proportion which the number of shares of Common Stock which each such party beneficially owns bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by all such parties.
 
(v) All Transfers of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3(c) shall be consummated contemporaneously at the principal offices of the Company on the later of (i) a Business Day not less than ten (10) or more than sixty (60) days after the last day of the Tag-Along Acceptance Period or (ii) the fifth Business Day following the expiration or termination of all waiting periods under HSR, to the extent applicable to such Partial Exit Transfer, or at such later time or place as the Exiting Holders and the Exit Transferees may agree.  The certificates or other instruments evidencing the Common Stock Transferred pursuant to the Partial Exit Transfer shall be duly endorsed for transfer, and delivered on such closing date against payment for the purchase price of such Common Stock, together with all other documents which are necessary to effect such Partial Exit Transfer.  No party to this Agreement shall Transfer any of its Common Stock to any prospective Transferee if such prospective Transferee declines to allow a Tag-Along Holder to participate in a Partial Exit Transfer.
 
(vi) All Tag-Along Holders shall execute and deliver any documents reasonably requested by the Exiting Holders, including any agreement containing indemnification obligations (which shall be several and not joint obligations and shall be no more extensive or adverse to any Tag-Along Holder than those applicable to the Exiting Holders) on the part of the Exiting Holders and each Tag-Along Holder so electing to participate, provided that the indemnification obligation of each Tag-Along Holder shall solely consist of and (A) shall be limited to the percentage of such consideration that is equal to any comparable percentage limitation with respect to the consideration payable to the Exiting Holders, in the case of representations and warranties made by such Tag-Along Holder (which shall be limited to customary representations regarding its existence, authority to participate in such Partial Exit Transfer, due execution, ownership of its Common Stock and ability to Transfer such Common Stock free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances, as applicable), and (B) shall be computed pro rata based on the aggregate consideration payable to the Exiting Holders and all Tag-Along Holders, in the case of representations and warranties made by the Company, and (C) shall not under any circumstances exceed in the aggregate the net proceeds actually paid to such Tag-Along Holder upon completion of the transaction.  Any documented and reasonable costs and expenses incurred directly in connection with the Partial Exit Transfer by the Exiting Holders shall be paid out of the gross proceeds of the Partial Exit Transfer to the extent permissible by the terms and conditions of such Partial Exit Transfer, and, if so permissible, no Tag-Along Holder shall have any direct liability for any such costs and expenses.  No Tag-Along Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictive covenant in connection with any Partial Exit Transfer.  In addition, the Tag-Along Holders shall not exercise any rights of appraisal or dissenters rights that such Holder may have (whether under applicable law or otherwise) or could potentially have or acquire in connection with any Partial Exit Transfer or any other proposal that is necessary or desirable to consummate the Partial Exit Transfer.
 
Section 4. Preemptive Rights to Purchase New Securities.
 
(a) Grant.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 4, each Preemptive Rights Holder shall have the right to purchase such Preemptive Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of all or any part of any New Securities that the Company or any subsidiary thereof may from time to time issue to any Investor or any Affiliate of any Investor after the date of this Agreement.  A Preemptive Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share for purposes of this right shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Preemptive Rights Holder immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.   The Preemptive Rights Holdersare each Investor and each Holder other than the Investor or Investors (or their Affiliates) to whom the Company proposes to issue New Securities.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Preemptive Rights Holder may assign its rights under this Section 4 to any of its Affiliates upon written notice to the Company.
 
(b) Procedure.  The Company shall give each Preemptive Rights Holder at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice, or, if the Preemptive Rights Holder is an Investor, at least twenty (20) days prior written notice, of the Company’s intention to issue New Securities (the New Securities Notice), describing the type and amount of New Securities to be issued to any Investor or any Affiliates of any Investor and the price and the general terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities.  Each Preemptive Rights Holder may purchase any or all of such Preemptive Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities and may elect to purchase more than such Preemptive Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share in the event that another Preemptive Rights Holder does not elect to purchase its full Pro Rata Share of an issuance of New Securities (a New Issuance Shortfall), by delivering to the Company, within five (5) Business Days after, or, if the Preemptive Rights Holder is an Investor, at least twenty (20) days after, the date of mailing of any such New Securities Notice by the Company, a written notice specifying (i) such number of New Securities which such Preemptive Rights Holder desires to purchase and (ii) whether such Preemptive Rights Holder desires to purchase more than its Pro Rata Share of New Securities in the event of a New Issuance Shortfall and, if so, the maximum amount of the unsubscribed-for New Securities (the Unpurchased New Securities) such Preemptive Rights Holder desires to purchase (an Unpurchased New Securities Share), for the price and upon the general terms and conditions specified in the New Securities Notice.  If any Preemptive Rights Holder fails to notify the Company in writing within such five (5) Business Day period or 20-day period, as applicable, of its election to purchase any or all of such Preemptive Rights Holder’s full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities (a Non-Purchasing Holder), then such Non-Purchasing Holder will forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of such Preemptive Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that such Preemptive Rights Holder did not agree to purchase.  If a New Issuance Shortfall occurs, the Unpurchased New Securities shall be allocated to each Preemptive Rights Holder that has elected to purchase its Pro Rata Share of New Securities and that has elected to purchase Unpurchased New Securities in the event of a New Issuance Shortfall (each, a Fully Exercising Rights Holder) in the amount of their Unpurchased New Securities Share.  In the event that the Company is unable to allocate to each Fully Exercising Right Holder its respective Unpurchased New Securities Share due to the aggregate amount of the Unpurchased New Securities Shares equaling more than the amount of the Unpurchased New Securities, then the Unpurchased New Securities shall be allocated to each Fully Exercising Rights Holder based on its Oversubscription Pro Rata Share.  A Fully Exercising Rights Holder’s Oversubscription Pro Rata Share shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Fully Exercising Rights Holder immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by all of the Fully Exercising Rights Holders immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities.
 
(c) Failure To Exercise.  In the event that the Preemptive Rights Holders fail to exercise in full the purchase right within the five (5) Business Day period following, or, if the Preemptive Rights Holder is an Investor, the 20-day  period following, delivery of the New Securities Notice, then the Company will have sixty (60) days thereafter to sell the New Securities with respect to which the Preemptive Rights Holders’ rights hereunder were not exercised or to enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities (in which event the Company shall have forty-five (45) days from the date of the execution of such agreement to sell the New Securities).  Any sale of the New Securities shall be at a price and upon terms and conditions not more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the New Securities Notice to the Preemptive Rights Holders.  In the event that the Company has not issued and sold the New Securities within the deadlines set forth in this Section 4(c), then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 4(c).
 
(d) If the provisions of this Section 4 do not apply because the Company issues New Securities solely to purchasers who are neither an Investor nor an Affiliate of an Investor, then each Investor which has appointed a Director hereby agrees that it will not, in connection with such issuance, enter into any agreement or understanding with any such purchaser that provides a related benefit to such Investor, regardless of whether such agreement, understanding or benefit is written or oral, direct or indirect, or solicited or unsolicited by such Investor, unless all of the other Investors are parties to an agreement or understanding with such purchaser that provides a comparable benefit to them, such comparability to be determined based on each Investor's pro rata ownership of the Company at the time of such sale of New Securities to such third party.
 
Section 5. Notices.  Any notice provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be either personally delivered, or mailed first class mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) or sent by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid), to the party entitled to receive such notice or other document at the address set forth in the books and records of the Company.  Any such notice shall be effective and deemed received three days after proper deposit in the mails (or the next business day after due delivery to such overnight courier service).  The Company, any Holder or any spouse or legal representative of a Holder may effect a change of address for purposes of this Agreement by giving notice of such change to the Company, and the Company shall, upon the request of any party hereto, notify such party of such change in the manner provided herein.  Until such notice of change of address is properly given, the previous address set forth in the books and records of the Company shall be effective for all purposes.
 
Section 6. Financial Statements and Other Information.  The Company shall furnish to the Investors, each 5% Holder, and, solely with respect to clause (ii) below, each Holder: (i) for the first three fiscal quarters of each year, as soon as available, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the end of each such fiscal quarter, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal quarter and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for such fiscal quarter and for the period from the beginning of the then current fiscal year to the end of such fiscal quarter, setting forth in each case in comparative form the corresponding figures for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year in reasonable detail; and (ii) as soon as available, and in any event within one hundred and five (105) days after the end of each fiscal year, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal year and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for such fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the corresponding figures for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year in reasonable detail and a report thereon by the Company’s certified independent accountants; provided, however, that if a lesser amount of financial information is required to be given to the Company’s lenders pursuant to the terms of the exit facility contemplated by that certain Amended and Restated Commitment Letter, dated May 22, 2013, provided by certain of the Investors to the Company, then the Company shall only be required to furnish such lesser amount of information to the Investors, each 5% Holder, and, if applicable, each Holder hereunder.
 
Section 7. Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur of (a) execution of a written agreement to such effect by the Company and each Investor that remains a party hereto at the time of such execution, (b) upon the closing of an Initial Public Offering or (c) the closing of a transaction that would constitute an Exit Transfer.  In addition, the rights and obligations of each Holder under this Agreement shall terminate as to such Holder upon the Transfer of all Common Stock owned by such Holder in accordance with this Agreement.
 
Section 8. Miscellaneous Provisions.
 
(a) Transfer in Violation of Agreement.  Any Transfer or attempted Transfer in breach of this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.  In connection with any attempted Transfer in breach of this Agreement, the Company may hold and refuse to transfer any Common Stock or any certificate therefor, in addition to and without prejudice to any and all other rights or remedies which may be available to it or the Holders.  Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that a remedy at law for any breach or attempted breach of this Agreement shall be inadequate, agrees that each other party to this Agreement shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in case of any such breach or attempted breach and further agrees to waive (to the extent legally permissible) any legal conditions required to be met for the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief (including posting any bond in order to obtain equitable relief).
 
(b) No Strict Construction.  The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.
 
(c) No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns any remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any terms, covenants or conditions hereof, and all of the terms, covenants, conditions, promises and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
 
(d) Further Assurances.  Each party hereto 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 other documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
(e) Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and may be delivered by means of facsimile or electronic transmission in portable document format, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon the party who executed the same, but all of such counterparts shall constitute the same agreement.  The failure of any Holder to execute this Agreement does not make it invalid as against any other Holder.
 
(f) Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof except Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York.
 
(g) Submission to Jurisdiction.  Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents and agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof will be brought in the courts of the State of New York, County of New York or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and each party to this Agreement hereby submits to and accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts from any appeal thereof.  Each party to this Agreement further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the delivery of copies thereof in the manner set forth in Section 5.  Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Nothing in this Section 8(g) shall be deemed to constitute a submission to jurisdiction, consent or waiver with respect to any matter not specifically referred to herein.  No course of dealing between the Company, or its subsidiaries, and the Holders (or any of them) or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder will operate as a waiver of any rights of any party to this Agreement.  The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
 
(h) Complete Agreement; Inconsistent Agreements.  This Agreement and any certificates, documents, instruments and writings delivered pursuant hereto represent the complete agreement between the parties hereto as to all matters covered hereby, and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings between the parties.
 
(i) Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
 
(j) Amendments; Waivers.  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended, modified, waived or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except with the consent of the Company and the Investors who beneficially own at least a majority of the issued and outstanding Common Stock held by the Investors.  In addition to the consent required under the foregoing sentence, in order to effect any amendment of, modification of, waiver of or supplement to the provisions of this Agreement that: (i) would adversely affect an individual Investor disproportionately as compared to any other Investor, shall require the prior written consent of such Investor; (ii) would provide any right to any Investor not shared proportionally by all Investors, shall require the prior written consent of each other Investor; (iii) would amend, modify, supplement or rescind, or would have the effect thereof, Section 3(a)(i), Section 3(c), Section 4, Section 7 or, to the extent applying to Section 3(a)(i), Section 3(c), Section 4, or Section 7, this Section 8(j), shall require the prior written consent of each Investor, (iv) would amend, modify, supplement or rescind, or would have the effect thereof, Section 3(c), Section 4 or, to the extent applying to Section 3(c) or Section 4, this Section 8(j), shall require the prior written consent of Holders that are not Investors representing at least a majority of the issued and outstanding Common Stock held by such Holders; or (v) would amend, modify, supplement or rescind, or would have the effect thereof, Section 2(a)(v) or, to the extent applying to Section 2(a)(v), this Section 8(j), shall require the prior written consent of Silver Point.  No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
 
(k) Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Holders and their respective successors, assigns and Permitted Transferees.  Any or all of the rights of a Holder under this Agreement may be assigned or otherwise conveyed by any Holder only in connection with a Transfer of Common Stock which is in compliance with this Agreement; provided, that an Investor may never transfer its status as an Investor other than to Permitted Transferees.
 
(l) Benefits Only to Parties.  Nothing expressed by or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns and Permitted Transferees, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and Permitted Transferees, and for the benefit of no other Person.
