(a)                                 The Investor acknowledges that:

(i)                                     some or all of the information in its possession concerning JCG or Henderson, under or in connection with the Merger, this Agreement or any other transactions contemplated therein, may be price sensitive information or material non-public information (“Information”);

(ii)                                  JCG is and (prior to Closing) will continue to be, and Henderson (from Closing) will be, an issuer with securities registered pursuant to the Exchange Act;

(iii)                               prior to Closing, Henderson is and will continue to be an issuer with securities admitted to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange; and

(b)                                 Accordingly, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Investor agrees that it shall not trade in securities of JCG or Henderson (including shares of the Company Common Stock) (or in any instruments linked to them) at any time that it is in possession of any Information (including any information in respect of Henderson which may have a non-trivial effect on the price of Henderson’ securities and which an investor would be likely to use as part of the basis of his or her investment decision); provided, that this shall not restrict the Investor from exercising its conditional options to purchase shares of Henderson Common Stock pursuant to the Option Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) JCG acknowledges that, prior to Closing, the Investor will not be deemed to be trading in securities of JCG while in possession of Information concerning JCG if it engages in the purchasing or selling of securities of JCG in accordance with one of the affirmative defenses available pursuant to paragraph (c) of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act; and (ii) Henderson acknowledges that, on and from Closing, the Investor will not be deemed to be trading in securities of Henderson while in possession of Information concerning Henderson if it engages in the purchasing or selling of securities of Henderson in accordance with one of the affirmative defenses available pursuant to paragraph (c) of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act.

(c)                                  The Investor acknowledges that the Company is an issuer with securities registered pursuant to the Exchange Act and quoted on the ASX and that the trading in securities of the Company (including shares of the Company Common Stock) by the Investor while it is in possession of material non-public information (including the Information) concerning the Company may subject the Investor to liability under applicable Law.  Accordingly, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Investor agrees that it shall not trade in securities of the Company (including shares of the Company Common Stock) at any time that it is in possession of material non-public information concerning the Company; provided, that this shall not restrict the Investor from exercising its conditional options to purchase shares of Henderson Common Stock pursuant to the Option Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions thereof.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that the Investor will not be deemed to be trading in securities of the Company while in possession of material non-public information concerning the Company if it engages in the purchasing or selling of securities of the Company in accordance with one of the affirmative defenses available pursuant to paragraph (c) of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act.

(e)                                  The Investor shall, in the course of its acquisition of any shares of the Company Common Stock, comply with all applicable Laws, including the requirement to file a Schedule 13D and amendments thereto with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Exchange Act.

Section 2.6                                    Acquisition Notice.  As promptly as reasonably practicable following the end of each Business Day during which the Investor acquires Beneficial Ownership of any shares of the Company Common Stock, the Investor shall notify the Company in writing of (a) the number of shares of the Company Common Stock so acquired on such Business Day and (b) the price per share paid by the Investor for such shares of the Company Common Stock.

10

Section 2.7                                    Preemptive Rights.

(a)                                 For so long as the Investor Beneficially Owns at least the Applicable Percentage of the issued and outstanding Company Common Stock (prior to giving effect to the applicable issuance of New Securities), if the Company proposes to issue any shares of the Company Common Stock (including issuances of the Company Common Stock pursuant to exchangeable or convertible securities of the Company or other securities exercisable for shares of the Company Common Stock (upon exercise or in accordance with the terms thereof), but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any issuance in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement) (“New Securities”), the Investor shall have the right to subscribe for or purchase up to such number of shares of the Company Common Stock that would allow the Investor to maintain Beneficial Ownership of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock, after giving effect to the issuance of the applicable New Securities, that is no less than the Investor’s Pre-Issuance Ownership Percentage (such shares, the “Preemptive Rights Shares”); provided, however, that the Investor shall not have this subscription or purchase right to the extent that an issuance of the Preemptive Rights Shares to the Investor would require approval of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 312 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual or any successor rule thereof (the “NYSE Rule”) or ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or any successor rule thereof (the “ASX Rule”), unless such stockholder approval is obtained.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company issues securities, other than Company Common Stock, that are exchangeable for, or convertible into, or otherwise exercisable for, shares of the Company Common Stock, the Investor shall only be entitled to exercise its right to subscribe for or purchase Preemptive Rights Shares pursuant to this Section 2.7 immediately prior to the time that the shares of Company Stock underlying such securities become issued, with such right subject to the actual issuance of the applicable underlying shares of Company Common Stock.

(b)                                 The Company shall provide the right contemplated by Section 2.7(a) to the Investor by delivering a written notice to the Investor (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”) stating (i) the Company’s intention to issue New Securities, (ii) the amount of such New Securities that the Company proposes to issue in the aggregate and, correspondingly, the number of Preemptive Rights Shares that the Investor is entitled to subscribe for or purchase and (iii) the price of such New Securities (or (x) if such prices are not clearly identifiable, as may be in the case of an Equity Issuance, such effective price per share as is reasonably determined by the Company in good faith, which shall in no event be greater than the then-applicable market price of the Company Common Stock or (y) in the case of issuances of restricted stock, the fair market value of such restricted stock as determined by the Company in the ordinary course in connection with such issuance) of the Preemptive Rights Shares.  Within ten (10) Business Days following the delivery of the Preemptive Rights Notice by the Company to the Investor, the Investor may, by delivery of a written notice of acceptance to the Company (the “Acceptance Notice”), elect to subscribe for or purchase all, or any portion, of the Preemptive Rights Shares that the Investor is then entitled to subscribe for or purchase pursuant to this Section 2.7 for the price indicated in the Preemptive Rights Notice.  The delivery of the Acceptance Notice shall be evidence of the Investor’s irrevocable commitment to subscribe for or purchase the number of Preemptive Rights Shares indicated in the Acceptance Notice for the price indicated in the Preemptive Rights Notice, and the consummation of the subscription for or sale and purchase of the Preemptive

11

Rights Shares shall occur concurrently with or as promptly as practicable following the Company’s issuance of the corresponding New Securities.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7 to the contrary, if the amount of New Securities to be issued is for any reason less than the amount that was initially proposed to be issued as indicated in the Preemptive Rights Notice, the Company may (whether before or after the Investor has delivered an Acceptance Notice to the Company) decrease the number of Preemptive Rights Shares that the Investor is entitled to subscribe for or purchase pursuant to this Section 2.7 to an amount not less than the amount necessary to allow the Investor to maintain (but not exceed) its Pre-Issuance Ownership Percentage after giving effect to the issuance of the applicable New Securities.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7 to the contrary, Section 2.7(a) shall not apply, and the Company shall have no obligation to sell, and the Investor shall have no right to subscribe for or purchase from the Company, any shares of the Company Common Stock or any other securities of the Company, if the Company proposes to issue New Securities solely to provide equity compensation for employment and/or services by directors, officers, employees, consultants or other service providers of the Company or its Affiliates (an “Equity Issuance”) and such Equity Issuance would not cause the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of shares of the Company Common Stock to decrease to less than the Applicable Percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock (after giving effect to such issuance) (an “Exempt Equity Issuance”); provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent such Equity Issuance would cause the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of shares of the Company Common Stock to decrease to less than the Applicable Percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock (after giving effect to such issuance), the Investor shall have the right to subscribe for or purchase Preemptive Rights Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7(a), subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein (including the NYSE Rule and the ASX Rule), and subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.7(b) (a “True-up Equity Issuance”).  The Company shall provide written notice to the Investor at least ten (10) Business Days prior to any Equity Issuance if it (in the aggregate when combined with all other Equity Issuances of which the Company did not provide written notice to the Investor) would cause Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of shares of Company Common Stock to decrease by 1% or more (as a percentage of the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock) (after giving effect to such issuance).  For example, if the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of shares of Company Common Stock is 17% prior to any such issuance, then the Company shall be required to provide notice to the Investor prior to any such issuance that would cause the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of shares of Company Common Stock to decrease by more than 0.17% (1% of 17%).

(e)                                  Upon the Company’s issuance of any Preemptive Rights Shares, such Preemptive Rights Shares shall be (i) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and (ii) duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company.

(f)                                   In the event that the Company proposes an issuance of New Securities (excluding Preemptive Rights Shares pursuant to this Section 2.7) that is subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company under the NYSE Rule or the ASX Rule (a “Stockholder Approved Issuance”) and the full number of Preemptive Rights Shares that would be issued to

12

the Investor pursuant to Section 2.7(a) in connection with such Stockholder Approved Issuance would exceed the amount that the Company could issue to the Investor without stockholder approval pursuant to the NYSE Rule or the ASX Rule, as applicable, the Company shall, in connection with seeking approval for such Stockholder Approved Issuance, include in the proxy solicitation relating to such Stockholder Approved Issuance a separate proposal seeking the approval by the stockholders of the Company for the issuance to the Investor of the Preemptive Rights Shares in connection with such Stockholder Approved Issuance; provided, that the Company shall use the same efforts it uses to seek approval of the issuance to the Investor of the Preemptive Rights Shares as it uses for the Stockholder Approved Issuance (it being understood that no Stockholder Approval Issuance will be conditioned on the receipt of such approval).

(g)                                  “Pre-Issuance Ownership Percentage” means the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership, expressed as a percentage, of issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the applicable issuance of New Securities; provided, that, in the case of a True-up Equity Issuance, the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership shall be calculated for purposes of this definition without giving effect to any prior Exempt Equity Issuance or other issuance of the Company Common Stock for which the Investor did not have preemptive rights due to the proviso to Section 2.7(a) that was made following the later of (x) the commencement of the Investor’s rights pursuant to this Section 2.7 and (y) the last prior True-Up Equity Issuance.

Section 4.5                                    Right of First Refusal.

(a)                                 Before any Shares may be Transferred by the Investor pursuant to a Permitted Non-Public Transfer, the Investor shall deliver a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) to the Company, which shall confirm the Investor’s bona fide intention to Transfer Shares (such shares, the “ROFR Shares”) in a Permitted Non-Public Transfer and shall set forth, with respect to such Permitted Non-Public Transfer, in reasonable detail:  (i) the identity of the Person or Persons to whom the Investor intends to Transfer such ROFR Shares (the “Identified Transferees”); (ii) the number of ROFR Shares that the Investor intends to Transfer; (iii) the price per share (expressed as a value in U.S. dollars or as a price relative to the market price) of the ROFR Shares (the “ROFR Price”); and (iv) all other material terms and conditions of such Permitted Non-Public Transfer (the “ROFR Terms”).  The Company may nominate one or more Preferred New Investors whom it elects to be in deemed receipt of the ROFR Notice and shall

18

give written notice of the identity of such Preferred New Investor(s) to the Investor within the period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of the ROFR Notice by the Company. The delivery of the ROFR Notice shall be evidence of the Investor’s irrevocable offer to Transfer to the Preferred New Investors(s) all of the ROFR Shares for the ROFR Price and subject to the ROFR Terms.

(b)                                 During the period of fifteen (15) Business Days following the receipt of the ROFR Notice by the Company (the “ROFR Exercise Period”), the Preferred New Investors(s) shall have the right to purchase all of the ROFR Shares for the ROFR Price per share and subject to the ROFR Terms, and the consummation of the sale and purchase of the ROFR Shares shall occur at the time that the Company, the Preferred New Investor(s) and the Investor shall reasonably establish by mutual agreement which time shall be not more than twenty (20) Business Days following the end of the ROFR Exercise Period.  To exercise the right to purchase the ROFR Shares, the Preferred New Investor(s) must timely deliver written notice to the Investor within the ROFR Exercise Period confirming the irrevocable commitment of the Preferred New Investor(s) to purchase all of the ROFR Shares for the ROFR Price and subject to the ROFR Terms.  At the closing of the Transfer of the ROFR Shares from the Investor to the Preferred New Investor(s), (i) the Investor shall Transfer to the Preferred New Investor(s) the ROFR Shares (such Shares to be allocated among the Preferred New Investor(s) as determined by the Preferred New Investors(s)) free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and shall deliver to the Preferred New Investors such other documents and instruments evidencing or otherwise relating to such Transfer as the Preferred New Investor(s) reasonably may request, and (ii) the Preferred New Investor(s) shall deliver to the Investor by wire transfer or bank check of immediately available funds an amount of cash in U.S. dollars for the payment in full for such ROFR Shares.

(c)                                  If, prior to the end of a ROFR Exercise Period, the Company does not exercise its right under this Section 4.5 to nominate any Preferred New Investor(s) or the Preferred New Investor(s) do not purchase the applicable ROFR Shares from the Investor for the ROFR Price per share and subject to the ROFR Terms, the Investor shall have the right, during a period of twenty (20) Business Days following the end of the ROFR Exercise Period (the “ROFR Open Period”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to complete a Transfer of all of the ROFR Shares to an Identified Transferee for a price that is not less than the ROFR Price per share and subject to material terms and conditions that are not less favorable in any material respect to the Investor than the ROFR Terms.  If the Investor desires to Transfer any ROFR Shares following the end of the ROFR Open Period or if the Investor desires to Transfer any ROFR Shares in a Permitted Non-Public Transfer at any time (i) to any Person other than an Identified Transferee, (ii) for a price that is less than the ROFR Price per share or (iii) subject to material terms and conditions that are less favorable in any material respect to the Investor than the ROFR Terms, then the Investor shall be required to comply with the procedures set forth under this Section 4.5 again by delivering a new ROFR Notice to the Company and provide the Company with the right to nominate one or more Preferred New Investors, and provide such Preferred New Investor(s) with another ROFR Exercise Period during which the Preferred New Investor(s) may elect to purchase ROFR Shares for the price per share, and subject to the material terms and conditions, indicated by such new ROFR Notice.

19

Section 4.6                                    Right of First Offer.  Before any Shares may be Transferred by the Investor pursuant to a Permitted Public Transfer (excluding any Transfer pursuant to paragraph (d) of Exhibit C), the Investor shall deliver a written notice (a “ROFO Notice”) to the Company, which shall confirm the Investor’s bona fide intention to Transfer Shares (such shares, the “ROFO Shares”) in a Permitted Public Transfer.  The Company may nominate one or more Preferred New Investors whom it elects to be in deemed receipt of the ROFO Notice and shall give written notice of the identity of such Preferred New Investor(s) to the Investor within the period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of the ROFO Notice by the Company. During the period of fifteen (15) Business Days following the delivery of the ROFO Notice to the Company (the “ROFO Negotiation Period”), the Investor shall, if so requested by the Company or the Preferred New Investor(s), negotiate exclusively with the Preferred New Investor(s) in good faith with respect to a transaction in which the Investor shall Transfer all or a portion of the ROFO Shares to the Preferred New Investor(s), in lieu of an effective Permitted Public Transfer for such ROFO Shares.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor shall not have any obligation to Transfer any ROFO Shares to the Preferred New Investor(s), and the Preferred New Investor(s) shall not have any obligation to purchase any ROFO Shares from the Investor, unless the Preferred New Investor(s) and the Investor mutually agree to such a transaction in writing.  If, following the expiration of the ROFO Negotiation Period, either the Company has not nominated any Preferred New Investors or the Preferred New Investor(s) and the Investor have not agreed in writing for the Investor to Transfer all or a portion of the ROFO Shares to the Preferred New Investor(s), then the Investor shall have the right, during a period of six (6) months following the end of the ROFO Negotiation Period (the “ROFO Open Period”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 4.4), to Transfer all of the ROFO Shares in a Permitted Public Transfer; provided, however, that (x) if the ROFO Shares are comprised of the Registrable Shares, and (y) if the Investor demands, pursuant to the Registration Rights, a registration of such ROFO Shares or the filing of a Prospectus Supplement (as defined in Exhibit C) with respect to such ROFO Shares during the ROFO Open Period, then the ROFO Open Period shall end six (6) months following the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement filed by the Company pursuant to or as contemplated by Exhibit C.  If the Investor desires to Transfer any ROFO Shares following the end of the ROFO Open Period in a Permitted Public Transfer, then the Investor shall be required to comply with the procedures set forth under this Section 4.6 again by delivering a new ROFO Notice to the Company and provide the Company with the right to nominate one or more Preferred New Investors and such Preferred New Investor(s) with another ROFO Negotiation Period pursuant to this Section 4.6.

Section 4.7                                    Mandatory Transfers.

(a)                                 If the Company engages in any share repurchase program or self-tender (a “Company Repurchase Event”) that would cause the Investor to Beneficially Own shares of the Company Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, then the Investor shall (x) be given the opportunity to participate in such Company Repurchase Event on the same terms and conditions as other stockholders of the Company and (y) Transfer such number of Shares to the Company as may be permitted pursuant to the terms of such Company Repurchase Event as shall be necessary to reduce the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of Shares to the Ownership Limit; provided, that to the extent such Transfer to the Company does not permit the Investor to reduce the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of Shares to the Ownership Limit, the Investor shall, as

20

promptly as practicable, Transfer such additional number of Shares pursuant to a Permitted Non-Public Transfer or a Permitted Public Transfer as shall be necessary to reduce the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of Shares to the Ownership Limit, in each case without being subject to Section 4.4, Section 4.5 and Section 4.6.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Company Repurchase Event would not cause the Investor to Beneficially Own more than 22% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock, then, during a period of sixty (60) calendar days following the date on which the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of shares of the Company Common Stock first exceeds the Ownership Limit due to such Company Repurchase Event, the Investor may, in lieu of Transferring the applicable Shares to the Company pursuant to the terms of such Company Repurchase Event, Transfer such number of Shares pursuant to a Permitted Non-Public Transfer or a Permitted Public Transfer as shall be necessary to reduce the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of Shares to the Ownership Limit, in each case without being subject to Section 4.4, Section 4.5 and Section 4.6.  The Company shall promptly (but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the occurrence of the applicable event) notify the Investor thereof that a Company Repurchase Event is expected to cause the Beneficial Ownership of the Investor to increase above the Ownership Limit and inform the Investor of the terms of such Company Repurchase Event.

(b)                                 If at any time, other than as a result of a Company Repurchase Event, the Investor Beneficially Owns more than the Ownership Limit of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock, the Investor shall, as promptly as practicable and subject to Section 4.5 and Section 4.6, transfer such number of Shares pursuant to a Permitted Non-Public Transfer or a Permitted Public Transfer as shall be necessary to reduce the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of Shares to the Ownership Limit; provided, that any such Transfer shall not be deemed to be a waiver by the Company of, or otherwise relieve the Investor of liability for, or the consequences of, any breach of this Agreement that may be found to have existed on account of the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit.

Section 4.8                                    Related Parties.  For each of the Investor’s Affiliates that Beneficially Owns Company Securities (including shares of the Company Common Stock) or Company CDIs that the Investor is also deemed to Beneficially Own for purposes of this Agreement and for each of the Investor’s Affiliates with whom the Investor would be deemed to be acting in concert (as defined in the U.K. Takeover Code) with respect to the Company, the Investor shall cause such Affiliate to comply fully with Section 2.1, Section 2.5, Section 3.1, Section 3.2 and Article IV as if such Affiliate were the Investor; provided, that such provisions shall not be applicable to securities held by the Investor or its Affiliates on behalf of third party clients for which the Investor or its Affiliates do not have Beneficial Ownership.

ARTICLE V

Section 5.2                                    Board of Directors.

(a)                                 Upon request of the Investor, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company Board has determined to invite the Investor to, and the Investor shall have the right (until such right is terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) to, designate a representative of the Investor for appointment to the Company Board (the “Investor Representative”), subject to the following procedures and conditions:  Until the termination of the Designation Right pursuant to Section 5.2(c), the Investor shall have the right to designate an Investor Representative, which right shall include the right to request that the Investor Representative resign from the position and to designate a replacement Investor Representative upon any resignation, retirement or other removal of any Investor Representative (such right, the “Designation Right”).  Upon the resignation, retirement or other removal of any Investor Representative, the Company Board shall promptly appoint the replacement Investor Representative to the Company Board.  Each Investor Representative must satisfy any regulatory requirements applicable to directors or director nominees to the Company Board and shall be subject to all policies applicable to directors of the Company, including the Company’s [Corporate Governance Guidelines](1).  In connection with each proposed Investor Representative to the Company Board, the Investor shall provide such information with respect to such designee as may be required by applicable Law or regulation or otherwise reasonably requested by the Company.  Each Investor Representative and each replacement Investor Representative must be reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Company Board as the obligation of the Company Board to appoint or nominate any such individual shall, with respect to each such individual, be subject to compliance by each director with such director’s duties.  Prior to termination of the Designation Right pursuant to Section 5.2(c) and subject to the requirements of this Section 5.2(a), if an Investor Representative is appointed to the Company Board pursuant to this Section 5.2(a), the Company shall include such Investor Representative (or designated replacement Investor Representative in accordance with this Section 5.2) as a nominee to the Company Board on the slate of nominees recommended by the Company Board at the next annual or other meeting where directors are to be elected by shareholders of the Company.  Prior to termination of the Designation Right pursuant to Section 5.2(c), the Company shall use the same efforts to have the Investor Representative elected as a director of the Company by the stockholders of the Company and shall solicit proxies for the Investor Representative to the same extent as it does for any other nominees recommended by the Company Board.  Prior to appointment or election to the Company Board, each Investor Representative shall provide a written letter of resignation, effective upon and conditioned on the occurrence of a termination of the Designation Right pursuant to Section 5.2(c).

(b)                                 The Investor Representative shall have the same rights and responsibilities as other members of the Company Board, including the same access as other members of the Company Board to management with respect to matters relating to the operation, financial and all other policies of the Company (and the ability to participate in the processes by which those policies are made) and the same rights as other members of the Company Board to attend committee meetings of the Company Board.  The Investor Representative shall be provided with

(1)         To conform as necessary.

22

copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials provided to all other members of the Company Board concurrently to when such materials are provided to such other members.

(c)                                  The Company may terminate the Designation Right by written notice to the Investor within thirty (30) Business Days (subject to the proviso in sub-clause (vi)) after:  (i) the Investor and the Company agree in writing to terminate the Designation Right, (ii) the Designation Right or the exercise thereof by the Investor or participation by the Investor Representative on the Company Board is prohibited by applicable Law or pursuant to an Order by a Governmental Authority with competent jurisdiction over the Company or Investor, (iii) the Investor commits a material breach of this Agreement, which material breach is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days after the Investor’s receipt of a written notice in respect thereof from the Company, (iv) the Investor fails to maintain the level of Invested Assets, or fails to maintain the level of Seed Capital Investments, in each case as contemplated by, and in accordance with Section 6.1(a) and Section 6.1(c), which failure is, in each case, not cured within twenty (20) calendar days following written notice by the Company, it being understood that in no event shall the aggregate cure period granted with respect to all failures to maintain such funding levels and schedules pursuant to this clause (iv) exceed forty (40) calendar days in any calendar quarter (for the avoidance of doubt, the temporary redemption or repatriation of funds by the Investor in accordance with Section 6.1(f) shall not be deemed to be a material failure to maintain the required investment levels unless such funds are not reinvested in accordance with Section 6.1(f)), (v) the Investor has delivered a written notice pursuant to Section 6.1(h) of its intention not to comply with the Invested Asset and/or Seed Capital Investment funding and maintenance requirements of Section 6.1(a) and Section 6.1(c), or (vi) if at any time the Investor Beneficially Owns less than the Applicable Percentage of the issued and outstanding Company Common Stock (provided, that in the case of a termination of the Designation Right pursuant this sub-clause (vi), if at such time the Investor has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(k), then the Company may not exercise its right to terminate the Designation Right until ninety (90) calendar days following the event described in this sub-clause (vi), at which time, if the event shall be continuing, then the Company shall be permitted to deliver notice of termination hereunder).  Failure to give the notice referred to in the preceding sentence shall constitute a waiver of the Company’s right to terminate the Designation Right in connection with the applicable event.  Prior to any termination of the Designation Right pursuant to sub-clauses (ii) — (vi), a Senior Executive of the Company shall discuss such termination of the Designation Right with a Senior Executive of the Investor and consider in good faith whether there are available alternatives or remedies to avoid terminating the Designation Right.

(d)                                 The Designation Right shall automatically terminate ten (10) Business Days following written notice from the Company to the Investor that a Change of Control has occurred; provided, however, that if the Designation Right would not otherwise terminate pursuant to this Section 5.2(d) in connection with such Change of Control, then the Investor may, within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of such notice of a Change of Control, elect in writing to continue the Designation Right, and the Designation Right shall not be terminated following such Change of Control.  If the Investor elects, pursuant to this Section 5.2(d), to continue the Designation Right following a Change of Control, then no Standstill Fall-Away Date shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such Change of Control, and the Standstill Restrictions shall continue to apply until a subsequent Standstill Fall-Away Date.  The Company

23

shall give written notice to the Investor that a Change of Control has occurred within five (5) Business Days following such occurrence.

ARTICLE VI

ASSET MANAGEMENT AND STRATEGIC COOPERATION

Section 6.1                                    Management of the Investor’s Assets.

(a)                                 The Investor will continue to maintain investments in investment products of the Company and its Affiliates of not less than $2,000,000,000 (with such amount determined without giving effect to changes in market value or investment performance).  In addition, no later than the date that is 12 calendar months following the Closing, the Investor shall cause additional cash in the amount of up to $500,000,000 (the “Initial Investment”) to be invested in investment products of the Company or its Affiliates, which will be determined based on good faith discussions between the Company and the Investor following the date hereof.  Subject to Section 6.1(f) and Section 6.1(h), the aggregate amount allocated and maintained in investment products of the Company and its Affiliates during the term of this Agreement will not be less than $2,000,000,000 plus the Initial Investment (the “Invested Assets”) (with such amount determined without giving effect to changes in market value or investment performance).  Without limiting the obligation of the Investor to maintain the investment levels required by this Section 6.1(a), the Parties acknowledge that each individual investment shall be subject to approval by the Investor, acting reasonably and in good faith.

(b)                                 Investor shall at any time prior to termination of this Agreement and following consultation with the Company have the right to require the Company to change the allocation of the Invested Assets (after investment) between Company investment products upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the Company.

(c)                                  The Investor shall maintain a portion of the Invested Assets of not less than $120,000,000 (with such amount determined without giving effect to changes in market value or investment performance) as seed capital funding into newly developed products, products under development or existing products of the Company or its Affiliates that require additional assets to permit effective distribution to partners and clients, as designated from time to time by the Company (“Seed Capital Investments”).  The Investor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allocate and maintain such seed capital funding of at least $30,000,000 (with such amount determined without giving effect to changes in market value or investment

25

performance) in up to four (4) Seed Capital Investments designated by the Company from time to time, at least until the earlier of the establishment of a three-year investment performance record for the applicable investment product or the achievement of a minimum dollar amount invested in such investment product as determined in good faith by the Company, after which time, subject to Section 6.1(d), such seed capital funding may be moved to a new Seed Capital Investment designated by the Company.

(d)                                 Each individual Seed Capital Investment shall be subject to approval by the Investor, acting reasonably and in good faith with a view to achieving the full allocation of the $120,000,000 in Seed Capital Investments.  With the prior written consent of the Investor, the Company may from time to time reallocate the initial Seed Capital Investments set forth in Section 6.1(c) to other Seed Capital Investment initiatives of the Company.  From time to time, the Company may also propose additional Seed Capital Investments in excess of the $120,000,000 minimum investment.  The Investor shall consider reasonably and in good faith any such requests for reallocation or additional investments.

(e)                                  In addition to and without limiting the regular course investment reporting procedures such as monthly performance measurements and quarterly reviews for the applicable Company investment products, which will start from the inception of the investment, Investor shall commence monthly evaluation of the performance of Invested Assets (including Seed Capital Investments) commencing on the first anniversary of the initial funding of the applicable Invested Assets (including Seed Capital Investments) in an applicable Company investment product.  The Investor’s evaluation of such Invested Assets (including Seed Capital Investments) shall be effected in accordance with the applicable procedures of Schedule 6.1(i) of the Disclosure Letter.  In addition, the Company shall provide the Investor with quarterly updates regarding the Seed Capital Investments.  Such updates shall be in such format and contain such information as the Company and the Investor shall mutually determine, it being understood that such updates shall address, without limitation, investment performance, investor inflows and outflows with respect to the applicable investment product and comments on upcoming funds and repatriations, if applicable.

(f)                                   In the event that Invested Assets (including Seed Capital Investments) are deemed to be experiencing “Significantly Poor Performance” based on the evaluation of such Invested Assets effected in accordance with the applicable procedures of Schedule 6.1(i) of the Disclosure Letter, the Investor shall first reallocate such funds to other investment products of the Company or its Affiliates selected from investment products identified by the Company in writing from time to time that meet the Investor’s bona fide investment criteria and standards (“Eligible Investments”), if any such products are available at such time; however, if there are no Eligible Investments available at such time, then the Investor shall have the right to redeem or repatriate such funds (such date of redemption or repatriation, the “Temporary Redemption Date”).  For so long as any such funds remain redeemed or repatriated, the Investor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to review the investment products of the Company or its Affiliates to identify Eligible Investments to reinvest its funds.  If such funds are not fully reallocated or funded into other investment products of the Company or its Affiliates (whether or not any such products constitute an Eligible Investment) within ninety (90) days following the Temporary Redemption Date, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the Designation Right pursuant to Section 5.2(c).

26

(g)                                  The Investor shall compensate the Company or its applicable Affiliate for the management of the Invested Assets:

(i)                                     in the case of Invested Assets other than Seed Capital Investments, at fees not higher than those the Company or its Affiliates generally charge clients (with a similar investment amount to that of the Investor) for sub-advised accounts in the applicable investment product or in other investment products with a similar strategy;

(ii)                                  in the case of the initial $120,000,000 of Seed Capital Investments (the “Initial Seed Capital Investments”), at fees as separately agreed by the Company and the Investor prior to the date hereof (the “Initial Seed Capital Investment Fees”); and

(iii)                               in the case of Seed Capital Investments other than the Initial Seed Capital Investments, at fees determined by the Company and the Investor using a methodology consistent with that used in determining the Initial Seed Capital Investment Fees.

If the Company introduces new products with materially higher fee levels than those for comparable products in the industry, the Investor shall not be required to allocate Invested Assets into such products (and such products shall not be included in any list of Eligible Investments).  Without limiting the obligation of the Investor to maintain the investment levels required by Section 6.1(a), the Parties acknowledge that the management by the Company or its applicable Affiliate of Invested Assets in any product shall be governed by the terms and conditions of an investment management agreement for each investment that shall be agreed to and entered into by the Parties prior to each investment.

(h)                                 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.1, the Investor shall be permitted to elect not to comply with the Invested Asset and/or Seed Capital Investment funding and maintenance requirements of Section 6.1(a) and Section 6.1(c) by delivering written notice of such election to the Company, in each case:

(i)                                     to the extent that the Investor and the Company otherwise mutually agree in writing;

(ii)                                  to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Law, Administrative Guidance or a Governmental Order; provided, that the Investor shall notify the Company in writing about any such requirement promptly after the Investor becomes aware of such requirement, and, if practicable based on the timing of the actions required for compliance, prior to any reduction in Invested Assets and/or Seed Capital Investments pursuant to this Section 6.1(h)(ii), a Senior Executive of the Investor shall discuss with a Senior Executive of the Company and consider in good faith alternatives for complying with such Law, Administrative Guidance or Governmental Order without a reduction in Invested Assets and/or Seed Capital Investments;

(iii)                               from and after the consummation of a Change of Control;

(iv)                              if an Event of Financial Distress with respect to the Investor or the Company shall occur; provided, that the Investor shall notify the Company in writing about any such event after the Investor becomes aware of such event, and, prior to any reduction in

27

Invested Assets and/or Seed Capital Investments pursuant to this Section 6.1(h)(iv), a Senior Executive of the Investor shall discuss with a Senior Executive of the Company and consider in good faith alternatives to reducing the Invested Assets and/or Seed Capital Investments;

(v)                                 from and after an Insolvency Event with respect to the Investor or the Company; or

(vi)                              if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1.

(i)                                     For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 6.1 by causing its wholly-owned subsidiary The Dai-ichi Life Insurance Company, Limited or an Affiliate of the Investor to fulfill such obligations and exercise such rights.

Section 6.2                                    Coordination Committee.  As promptly as reasonably practicable following the assignment or secondment of the management level representative from the Investor referenced in Section 6.5, the Company and the Investor shall form a committee (the “Coordination Committee”) consisting of representatives from each of the Company and the Investor.  The representatives of the Company and the representatives of the Investor, respectively, shall have equal say in any Coordination Committee matters and a representative of the Company and a representative of the Investor shall serve as co-chairs of the Coordination Committee.  Either Party may propose the agenda for Coordination Committee meetings, which will be finalized by the co-chairs of the Coordination Committee and circulated to the Coordination Committee in advance of each meeting.  The Coordination Committee shall report to and be subject to the oversight of the Company’s Executive Committee (the “Executive Committee”), shall meet (in person or by telephone, videoconference or other electronic means) not less frequently than once each calendar quarter and shall serve as the official forum of the Company and the Investor for discussing matters relating to the distribution, marketing and cross-selling of the Company’s products in Japan through Asset Management One distribution channels, the opportunities and platforms for Asset Management One to offer its products that do not compete with the Company’s products, and other matters generally related to the strategic alliance.

Section 6.3                                    [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 6.4                                    Strategic Cooperation.

(a)                                 The Company and the Investor shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve sales of the Company investment products through Asset Management One distribution channels.  The Parties acknowledge that the foregoing does not constitute an underwriting commitment by the Investor or Asset Management One.  The sale of the Company’s investment products through Asset Management One distribution channels shall be effected pursuant to a schedule that is mutually acceptable to the Company and the Investor.

(b)                                 The Company and the Investor shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve sales of Asset Management One investment products through the Company distribution channels.  The Parties acknowledge that the foregoing does

28

not constitute an underwriting commitment by the Company.  The sale of Asset Management One’s investment products through the Company distribution channels shall be effected pursuant to a schedule that is mutually acceptable to the Company and the Investor.

(c)                                  The Investor and the Company shall discuss reasonably in good faith the exchange of expertise and human resources between the Investor, Asset Management One and the Company and provide the Investor with opportunities to increasing its knowledge and expertise in the asset management business.

Section 6.5                                    Exchange of Expertise and Human Resources.  In furtherance of the alliance contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and the Investor intend, from time to time, to engage in the exchange of expertise and human resources among the Company, the Investor and Asset Management One so that they may share and develop knowledge and best practices with respect to their respective businesses.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to termination of the Designation Right pursuant to Section 5.2(c), the Investor and Asset Management One shall collectively be entitled to:

(a)                                 assign or second to the Company one management level representative from the Investor, which representative shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to work at the Company’s headquarters on a full-time basis in a management level position to be determined by mutual agreement by the Company and the Investor, it being understood that the representative will work full time in the Company’s financial department, will be invited to attend executive committee meetings of the Company (unless the Company’s Chief Executive Officer determines in good faith that the presence of non-Company personnel at an executive committee meeting would be inappropriate under the circumstances due to a potential conflict of interest between the Investor and the Company) and offered in good faith opportunities to learn the Company’s business by attending other management level meetings or programs, in each case as an observer, and will receive monthly management financial packages (of the type prepared by the Company in the ordinary course of its business) and have the opportunity, upon reasonable advance notice, to meet with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer to discuss the Company’s financial results and information; and

(b)                                 assign or second to the Company two junior level representatives from the Investor, which representatives shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to work as analysts (or an equivalent junior-level position) in the Company’s investment groups to gain experience in the Company’s research methodologies.

For the avoidance of doubt, any individuals assigned or seconded to the Company pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be subject to employee, compliance, confidentiality and other policies that are applicable for the Company’s similarly situated employees.  In addition, the Investor shall provide any information in respect of such individuals that the Company may reasonably request.  The Company shall treat such individuals as it would treat other employees of the Company in similarly situated positions on a non-discriminatory basis, including with respect to the decision to terminate the assignment or secondment of such individuals, and have the right to terminate the assignment or secondment of such individuals to the Company following consultation in good faith between the Company and the Investor regarding the reason for the termination; provided that, following any such termination (as prior to termination of the Designation Right

29

pursuant to Section 5.2(c)), the Investor shall have a right to promptly appoint a replacement representative or representatives, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in this Exhibit C to the contrary, (x) the Investor shall not be entitled to make any demand unless it is permitted to Transfer under Section 4.1 of the Agreement the Registrable Shares for which the Investor demands registration or the filing of a Prospectus Supplement and has satisfied its obligations under Section 4.6 of the Agreement and is in the ROFO Open Period with respect to such Registrable Shares and (y) the Investor shall not, at any time, be entitled to make more than two demands for a Demand Registration in the aggregate (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that any demand for the filing of a Prospectus Supplement by the Company in connection with any take-down under a Resale Registration Statement shall not constitute a Demand Registration).  Each request for a Demand Registration by the Investor shall state the amount of the Registrable Shares proposed to be sold and the intended method of disposition thereof.  “Registration Statement” means any registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) of the Company or, if the Company is not eligible to file on Form S-3, a Form S-1 (or any successor form thereto) of the Company, in each case that covers Registrable Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including the prospectus, amendments and supplements to such registration statement, including pre- and post-effective amendments, and all exhibits and all material incorporated by reference in such registration statement.

(b)                                 Certain Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (a) of this Exhibit C to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration or Prospectus Supplement if the Investor proposes to sell its Registrable Shares at an aggregate price (calculated based upon the Market Price of the Company Common Stock on the date of filing of the Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Shares) to the public of less than $50,000,000.  If the Company Board, in its good faith judgment, determines that any registration of Registrable Shares should not be made or continued because it would interfere with any financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or merger or other material transaction involving the Company (a “Valid Business Reason”), the Company may (x) postpone filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than ninety (90) days for any individual Valid Business Reason or more than 120 days during any 12-month period, and (y) in case a Registration Statement has been filed relating to a Demand Registration, if the Valid Business Reason has not resulted from actions taken by the Company, the Company, upon the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors, may cause such Registration Statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated or may postpone amending or supplementing such Registration Statement.  The Company shall give written notice of its determination to postpone or withdraw a Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement, as applicable, and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement or withdrawal no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof.  “Market Price” means, on any date of determination, the average of the daily Closing Price of the Company Common Stock for the immediately preceding thirty (30) days on which the national securities exchanges are open for trading.  “Closing Price” means the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such date, as officially reported on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Company Common Stock are then listed or admitted to trading.

C-2

(c)                                  Effectiveness of Demand Registrations.  Following receipt of a valid Demand Notice, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the requested Demand Registration to become and remain effective not later than sixty (60) days after the Company’s receipt of such Demand Notice, except that, at any time following the Closing Date that the Company is ineligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the requested Demand Registration to become and remain effective not later than one-hundred fifty (150) days after the Company’s receipt of such Demand Notice.  A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration until it has become effective and remains continuously effective for the lesser of (i) the period during which all Registrable Shares registered in the Demand Registration are sold and (ii) 120 calendar days (or 30 calendar days, at any time following the Closing Date that the Company is ineligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3); provided, however, that a registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration if (x) after such Demand Registration has become effective, such registration or the related offer, sale or distribution of Registrable Shares thereunder is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other Governmental Authority or court for any reason attributable to the Company and such interference is not thereafter eliminated or (y) the conditions specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied or waived, by reason of a failure by the Company.

(d)                                 Piggyback Registration Rights.  If, at any time following the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Investor Beneficially Owns any Registrable Shares and the Company intends to register any shares of the Company Common Stock under the Securities Act by filing a registration statement or prospectus supplement on a form and in a manner that would permit registration of such shares of the Company Common Stock for sale to the public under the Securities Act (other than any registration of shares of the Company Common Stock on Form S-4 or S-8 or any similar forms or any successor forms thereto), then the Company shall provide a written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) to the Investor of such intention at least five (5) Business Days (provided that if the Company determines that a shorter notice period is required to avail itself of favorable market conditions, the Company shall provide the Investor with no less than two (2) Business Days’ notice) prior to any filing of such registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, which Piggyback Notice shall offer the Investor an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or a portion of the Registrable Shares Beneficially Owned by the Investor on the terms and conditions (including any underwriting lock-ups and other restrictions) of the proposed offering.  The Investor shall, to the extent it is so permitted under the terms of the Agreement, have a reasonable period under the circumstances (that shall be determined in good faith by the Company, based on market conditions) after delivery of the Piggyback Notice to notify the Company in writing that the Investor agrees to the terms and conditions of the proposed offering and elects to include all or a portion of the Registrable Shares in such offering, specifying the amount of the Registrable Shares to be included.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph (d), (i) the Investor shall not be entitled to elect to include any Registrable Shares in the Company’s offering pursuant to this paragraph (d) until it furnishes the information required by paragraph (f) and unless it is permitted to Transfer under Section 4.1 of the Agreement the Registrable Shares which the Investor requests to include in the Company’s offering, (ii) the Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not the Investor has elected to include all or a portion of the Registrable Shares in such registration, and (iii) if the registration

C-3

contemplated by the Piggyback Notice is an underwritten registration, and to the extent the managing underwriters thereof in good faith advise the Company that in their opinion the number of Registrable Shares elected to be included in such registration would cause the aggregate number of shares of the Company Common Stock to be offered to be greater than that which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, then the Company shall not be required to include in such offering such Registrable Shares.

(e)                                  Expenses.

(i)                                     Except as set forth in paragraph (h) of this Exhibit C, each Party shall bear its own expenses in connection with the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Exhibit C; provided, however, that the Company and the Investor shall each be liable for and pay one-half of the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any Resale Registration Statement, Demand Registration or Prospectus Supplement pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Exhibit C.

(ii)                                  “Registration Expenses” means any and all expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with any registration or marketing of Company Securities, including all (i) registration and filing fees, and all other fees and expenses payable in connection with the listing of securities on any securities exchange or automated interdealer quotation system, (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with any securities or “blue sky” laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with “blue sky” qualifications of the securities registered), (iii) expenses in connection with the preparation, printing, mailing and delivery of any registration statements, prospectuses and other documents in connection therewith and any amendments or supplements thereto, (iv) security engraving and printing expenses, (v) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses relating to any comfort letters or costs associated with the delivery by independent certified public accountants of any comfort letters), (vi) reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration, (vii) reasonable fees and expenses of the Investor, including fees and expenses of the Investor’s counsel, (viii) fees and expenses in connection with any review by FINRA of the underwriting arrangements or other terms of the offering, and all fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter,” including the fees and expenses of any counsel thereto, (ix) fees and disbursements of underwriters customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities, but excluding any underwriting fees, discounts and commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Shares, (x) costs of printing and producing any agreements among underwriters, underwriting agreements, any “blue sky” or legal investment memoranda and any selling agreements and other documents in connection with the offering, sale or delivery of the Registrable Shares, (xi) transfer agents’ and registrars’ fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of any other agent or trustee appointed in connection with such offering, (xii) expenses relating to any analyst or investor presentations or any “road shows” undertaken in connection with the registration, marketing or selling of the Registrable Shares, (xiii) fees and expenses payable in connection with any ratings of the Registrable Shares, including expenses relating to any presentations to rating agencies and (xiv)  all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company or its appropriate officers in connection with their compliance with paragraph (j)(x) of this Exhibit C.

C-4

(f)                                   Information.  In connection with any Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement in which the Investor is participating pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Exhibit C, the Investor shall promptly furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to the Investor or the distribution of the Registrable Shares as the Company may reasonably request or as may be required by Law for use in connection with any such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or Prospectus Supplement and all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by the Investor not materially misleading or necessary to cause such Registration Statement or prospectus not to omit a material fact with respect to the Investor necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading.

(g)                                 Termination.  For the purposes of this Agreement, the Investor shall cease to have registration rights hereunder with respect to the Registrable Shares, when (i) the entire amount of the Registrable Shares owned by Investor have been disposed of pursuant to the terms of this Exhibit C or (ii) the entire amount of the Registrable Shares owned by Investor may be sold in a single sale, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and the Investor, without any limitation as to volume pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision then in effect) under the Securities Act.

(h)                                 Indemnification.

(i)                                     Indemnification by the Company.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, its partners, directors, officers, Affiliates and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) such Investor from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) (each, a “Liability” and collectively, “Liabilities”), arising out of or based upon any untrue, or allegedly untrue, statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or notification or offering circular (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading under the circumstances such statements were made, except insofar as such Liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission contained in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or Prospectus Supplement in reliance and in conformity with information concerning the Investor or the distribution of the Registrable Shares furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor expressly for use therein, including, without limitation, the information furnished to the Company pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Exhibit C.

(ii)                                Indemnification by the Investor.  The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, Affiliates, any underwriter retained by the Company and each Person who controls the Company or such underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Investor, but only if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information with respect to the Investor or the distribution of the Registrable Shares furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in the applicable Registration Statement or

C-5

prospectus, including, without limitation, the information furnished to the Company pursuant to this paragraph (f) of this Exhibit C.

(iii)                               Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder (except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced or otherwise forfeits substantive rights or defenses by reason of such failure).  If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and such parties have been advised by such counsel that either (x) representation of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or (y) there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party.  In any of such cases, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties.  No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the consent of such Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnified Party is a party and indemnity has been or may be sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(iv)                              Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in this Exhibit C from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Liabilities referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative faults of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such

C-6

action.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraphs (h)(i), (h)(ii) and (h)(iii) of this Exhibit C, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.  The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  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.

(i)                                     Rule 144.  The Company covenants that for so long as the Investor Beneficially Owns Registrable Shares, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) file any reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and (b) take such further action as Investor may reasonably request (including providing any information necessary to comply with Rule 144 under the Securities Act), all to the extent required from time to time to enable Investor to sell Registrable Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or Regulation S under the Securities Act or (ii) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the SEC.

(j)                                    Registration Procedures.  Whenever the Investor demands that any Registrable Shares be registered pursuant to paragraph (a), subject to the provisions of such Sections, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as quickly as practicable, and, in connection with any such request:

(i)                                     Prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall, if requested, furnish to the Investor and each underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, and thereafter the Company shall furnish to the Investor and underwriter, if any, such number of copies of such Registration Statement and such other documents as the Investor or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Shares.  The Investor shall have the right to request that the Company modify any information contained in such Registration Statement thereto pertaining to the Investor and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not have any obligation so to modify any information if the Company reasonably expects that so doing would cause the Registration Statement to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(ii)                                  After the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company shall (A) cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, (B) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the shareholders thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to such prospectus and (C) promptly notify the Investor of any stop order issued or threatened by

C-7

the SEC or any state securities commission and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered.

(iii)                               The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares covered by any Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably (in light of the Investor’s intended plan of distribution) requests and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Investor to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Shares; provided that the Company shall not be required to (x) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (j)(iii), (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (z) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(iv)                              The Company shall promptly notify the Investor when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Shares, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and promptly prepare and make available to each such shareholder and file with the SEC any such supplement or amendment.

(v)                                 The Investor shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to select an underwriter or underwriters reasonably acceptable to the Company in connection with any public offering resulting from the exercise by the Investor of a Demand Registration.  In connection with any public offering, the Company shall enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form reasonably acceptable to the Company) and use commercially reasonable efforts to take such all other actions in connection therewith as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Shares, including the engagement of a “qualified independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with FINRA.

(vi)                              Upon execution of confidentiality agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall make available for inspection by the Investor and any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement being filed by the Company and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any such shareholder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspectors in connection with such registration statement.  Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and that it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (A) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement or (B) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Investor further agrees that, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of

C-8

competent jurisdiction, it shall give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential.

(vii)                           The Company shall furnish to the Investor and to each underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to the Investor or such underwriter, of (A) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and (B) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company’s independent public accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the kind customarily covered by such opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as the Investor or the managing underwriter therefor reasonably requests.

(viii)                        The Company shall otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement or such other document that shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the requirements of Rule 158 thereunder.

(ix)                              The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to list all Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange or quotation system on which any of the Registrable Shares are then listed or traded.

(x)                                 At the Investor’s request, the Company shall have appropriate officers of the Company (A) prepare and make presentations at “road shows” or other meetings with analysts and rating agencies; provided that the Company shall not be required to have appropriate officers of the Company prepare and make presentations at more than two (2) “road shows” in any twelve (12)-month period, (B) take other reasonable actions to obtain ratings for any Registrable Shares and (C) otherwise use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate as reasonably requested by the underwriters in the offering, marketing or selling of the Registrable Shares.

(k)                                 Further Assurances.  Each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute such documents and perform such further acts as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out or to perform the provisions of this Exhibit C.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Exhibit C shall diminish or otherwise modify any of the Investor’s obligations under Article IV of the Agreement.
