(i) during the Trading Period following such Top-Up Event, Section 2.03(a) shall not prohibit PCS from acquiring, agreeing to acquire, proposing, seeking or offering to acquire any shares of Common Stock, and each such PCS Party shall be permitted to take such actions, solely with respect to a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock in order to reverse the effect of any dilution to the PCS Parties resulting from the Top-Up Event (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any shares of Common Stock in excess of such number);

(ii) during the Trading Period following such Top-Up Event, the PCS Parties may continue to designate the applicable number of PCS Nominated Director pursuant to Section 2.02(b) and shall not be obligated to cause any PCS Nominated Director to resign pursuant to Section 2.02(d); and

(iii) the rights and obligations of the PCS Parties arising from their ownership of shares of Common Stock that were in effect prior to any Top-Up Event shall continue to be in effect following the end of such Trading Period so long as the PCS Parties own shares of Common Stock at the end of such Trading Period equal to or greater than the applicable Condition; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the PCS Parties’ exercise of (or failure to exercise) any rights set forth in this Section 2.03(c) in connection with a Top-Up Event does not cause the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the PCS Parties to exceed the applicable Condition at the end of the Trading Period following such Top-Up Event, the PCS Parties shall no longer have the designation rights set forth in Section 2.02 in respect of such Condition from and after the end of such Trading Period (irrespective of any future exercise of Top-Up Rights or any other rights under this Agreement).

Section 2.04 Access to Information.

(a) To the extent legally permissible and subject to Section 2.01, the Company shall provide or procure that each Shareholder is promptly provided with any financial, accounting, taxation and other information and records of, or confirmations from, the Company and any of its Subsidiaries reasonably requested by such Shareholder (the “Company Information”), to the extent that such information is necessary for the Shareholder: (i) to monitor and evaluate its investment in the

10 

Company and to account appropriately for its investment in the Company in its accounts; (ii) to comply with any financial, regulatory or other reporting obligations under Applicable Law; and (iii) to comply with any applicable legal, regulatory, tax and/or accounting requirements (including any requests from regulatory or governmental bodies with jurisdiction over such Shareholder), including the completion of any tax return, compilation or filing as required by Applicable Law any inquiry from a tax authority.

(b) Each Board member shall be entitled to receive all of the information distributed to other members of the Board (including, but not limited to, drafts of all written consent resolutions to be reviewed and approved by the Board), and, generally, will have access to the same information as other members of the Board. Subject to Section 2.01, each PCS Board Representative will be entitled to share any information received in the preceding sentence with the PCS Parties for so long as the 12.5% Condition is met and so long such action would not be reasonably likely to result in the waiver of attorney-client privilege or attorney work product protection as between the Company or its Subsidiaries and its counsel.
