Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Subscription Certificate (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the Company proposes to make a subscription offer by issuing subscription certificates in the form designated by the Company (“Subscription Certificates”) to stockholders of record (the “Record Date Stockholders”) of its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), as of a record date specified by the Company (the “Record Date”) in the Prospectus, pursuant to which each Record Date Stockholder, or any transferee thereof (such Record Date Stockholder and transferees, the “Rights Holders”) will have certain rights (the “Rights”) to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, as described in and upon such terms as are set forth in the Prospectus, a final copy of which has been or, upon availability will promptly be, delivered to the Agents; and

WHEREAS, the Company wishes the Agent to perform certain acts on behalf of the Company, and the Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the distribution of the Subscription Certificates and the issuance and exercise of the Rights, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

The Company hereby appoints the Agent to act as subscription agent in connection with the distribution of Subscription Certificates and the issuance and exercise of the Rights (the “Offering”) in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

Each Subscription Certificate shall be irrevocable and transferable upon the terms and conditions set forth in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Offer.” The Agent shall maintain a register of Subscription Certificates and the Rights Holders of record thereof.

A. Each Subscription Certificate shall evidence the Rights of the Rights Holder therein named to purchase Common Stock upon the terms and conditions therein set forth.

B. Upon receiving written notice from the Company as to the Record Date, signed by any of its duly authorized officers listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Authorized Officers”), which Schedule may be amended from time to time in writing by the Company, the Agent shall, from a list of the Record Date Stockholders to be prepared by the Agent, prepare and record Subscription Certificates in the names of such Record Date Stockholders, setting forth the number of Rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock calculated on the basis of one Right for each share of Common Stock recorded on the books in the name of each such Record Date Stockholder as of the Record Date. Each Subscription Certificate shall be dated as of the Record Date and shall be executed manually or by facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Agent. Upon the written advice, signed as aforesaid, as to the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Agent shall promptly countersign and deliver the Subscription Certificates, together with a copy of the Prospectus, instruction letter and any other documents as the Company deems necessary or appropriate, to all Record Date Stockholders with record addresses in the United States

(including its territories and possessions and the District of Columbia). Delivery shall be by first class mail (without registration or insurance), except for those Record Date Stockholders having a registered address outside the United States (who will only receive copies of the Prospectus, instruction letter and such other documents as the Company deems necessary or appropriate, if any) delivery shall be by air mail (without registration or insurance) or by first class mail (without registration or insurance) to those Record Date Stockholders having an APO or FPO address.

C. The Agent will mail a copy of the Prospectus, instruction letter, a special notice and such other documents as the Company deems necessary or appropriate, if any, but not Subscription Certificates to Record Date Stockholders whose record addresses are outside the United States (including its territories and possessions and the District of Columbia) (“Foreign Record Date Stockholders”). The Rights to which such Subscription Certificates relate will be held by the Agent for such Foreign Record Date Stockholders’ accounts until instructions are received to exercise, sell or transfer such Rights. If no instructions are received by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, three business days prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below), the Agent will transfer the Rights of such Foreign Record Date Stockholders to RBC Capital Markets Corporation (the “Dealer Manager”), who will either purchase the Rights or use its best efforts to sell them. The net proceeds, if any, from the sale of those Rights will be remitted to such Foreign Record Date Stockholders. If those Rights are not purchased or sold prior to the expiration of the offering, they will expire.

D. The Agent will perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the Fee Schedule attached hereto as Schedule B, and shall act at all times in accordance with the description of the offering and the Agent’s duties set forth herein and in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Offer.”

A. Rights Holders may acquire shares of Common Stock by delivery to the Agent as specified in the Prospectus of (A) a properly completed and duly executed Subscription Certificate and a money order or check or bank draft drawn on a bank or branch located in the United States and payable to “Computershare, Inc.” for an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription and the Over-Subscription Privilege multiplied by the Estimated Subscription Price; or (B) a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery guaranteeing delivery of (i) a properly completed and duly executed Subscription Certificate and (ii) a money order or check or bank draft drawn on a bank or branch located in the United States and payable to “Computershare Trust Company, N.A.” for an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription and the Over-Subscription Privilege multiplied by the Estimated Subscription Price (which certificate and full payment must then be delivered by the close of business on the third Business Day after the Expiration Date or, if the Offering is extended, by the close of business two Business Days after the extended Expiration Date). Payment must be made in U.S. dollars. For the purposes of the Prospectus and this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day on which trading is conducted on The Nasdaq Global Select Market.

B. Rights may be exercised at any time after the date of issuance of the Subscription Certificates with respect thereto but no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on such date as the Company shall designate to the Agent in writing (the “Expiration Date”). For the purpose of determining the time of the exercise of any Rights, delivery of any materials to the Agent shall be deemed to occur when such materials are received at the Shareholder Services Division of the Agent specified in the Prospectus.

C. Within ten Business Days following the Expiration Date (the “Confirmation Date”), the Agent shall send to each exercising Rights Holder (or, if rights are held by Cede & Co. or any other depository or nominee, to Cede & Co. or such other depository or nominee) a confirmation showing (i) the number of shares purchased pursuant to the Basic Subscription; (ii) the number of shares, if any, acquired pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege; (iii) the per share and total purchase price for such shares; and (iv) any additional amount payable to the Company by such Rights Holder or any excess to be refunded by the Company to such Rights Holder, in each case based on the Subscription Price as determined on the Expiration Date, along with a letter explaining the allocation of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege.

Any additional payment required from an exercising Rights Holder must be received by the Agent within ten Business Days after the Confirmation Date and any excess payment to be refunded by the Company to an exercising Rights Holder will be mailed by the Agent as promptly as practicable after the Confirmation Date and, in no event, later than ten Business Days after the Confirmation Date. If a Rights Holder does not make timely payment of any additional amounts due in accordance with this Section 4, the Agent will consult with the Company in accordance with Section 5 as to the appropriate action to be taken. The Agent will not issue or deliver shares of Common Stock or Statements of Holding for shares of Common Stock subscribed for until payment in full therefor has been received by the Agent, including clearance of checks and payment pursuant to Notices of Guaranteed Delivery.

Irregular, incomplete or unpaid subscriptions not otherwise covered by specific instructions herein shall be submitted to an Authorized Officer of the Company and handled in accordance with his or her instructions. Such instructions will be reasonably documented by the Agent indicating, among other things, the instructing officer and the date thereof.

If any shares of Common Stock available for purchase in the Offering are not subscribed for by Rights Holders pursuant to the Basic Subscription (the “Remaining Shares”), a Record Date Stockholder that has exercised fully its Rights pursuant to the Basic Subscription may subscribe for a number of Remaining Shares, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Offer,” including as to proration. In addition, any Rights Holder other than a Record Date Stockholder who exercises Rights is entitled to subscribe for any Remaining Shares that are not otherwise subscribed for by Record Date Stockholders pursuant to their over-subscription privilege, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Offer,” including as to proration. These over-subscription privileges are referred to collectively as the “Over-Subscription Privilege.” The Agent shall advise the Company immediately upon the completion of the allocation set forth above as to the total number of shares subscribed and distributable.

The Agent will deliver Statements of Holding reflecting new shares of Common Stock in the Direct Registration System, representing those shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Basic Subscription and, if applicable, those shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date, after all allocations have been effected and full payment for such shares has been received and cleared.

A. All proceeds received by the Agent from Rights Holders in respect of the exercise of Rights pursuant to the Basic Subscription and the Over-Subscription Privilege shall be held by the Agent, on behalf of the Company, in a segregated account (the “Account”). No interest shall accrue to the Company or Rights Holders, on funds held in the Account pending disbursement in the manner described in Section 4 above.

B. The Agent shall deliver all proceeds received in respect of the exercise of Rights, other than those to be refunded to exercising Rights Holders pursuant to Section 4 above, to the Company as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 10 Business Days after the Confirmation Date.

The Company agrees to pay to the Agent compensation for its services hereunder in accordance with the Fee Schedule attached hereto as Schedule B. The Company further agrees that it will reimburse the Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of their respective duties as such; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to reimburse the Agent for any such expenses incurred which exceed $10,000 in the aggregate without its prior consent.
