Common Stock, other than (i) to the Company, (ii) to a “permitted transferee” of such Sponsor (within the meaning of the Sponsor Shareholders Agreement), (iii) pursuant to or consequent upon the exercise of the drag along rights set forth in Section 5.3 or (iv) in connection with any public offering of equity securities of the Company, the Purchaser shall have the right (exercisable in accordance with Section 5.2(c)) to require the Transferring Sponsor to cause the proposed Transferee (a “Proposed Transferee”) to purchase from the Purchaser up to a number of Company Shares equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred by the Transferring Sponsor multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Company Shares then owned by the Purchaser and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then owned by the Sponsors, the Purchaser and each other shareholder of the Company eligible to exercise substantially similar tag-along rights with respect to the Proposed Transfer; provided, however, that the Purchaser’s right under this Section 5.2(a) is subject to the determination by the Company that his participation in the Proposed Transfer on the same terms and conditions as the Transferring Sponsor complies with all applicable Federal, state and non-U.S. securities laws or applicable exemptions therefrom.

(ii) Initial Investment Shares. In the case of a proposed Transfer (a “Proposed Transfer”) by a Sponsor (a “Transferring Sponsor”) of shares of Common Stock other than (i) to the Company, (ii) to a “permitted transferee” of such Sponsor (within the meaning of the Sponsor Shareholders Agreement), (iii) pursuant to or consequent upon the exercise of the drag-along rights set forth in Section 5.3 or (iv) in connection with any public offering of equity securities of the Company, the Purchaser shall have the right (exercisable in, accordance with Section 5.2(c)) to require the Transferring Sponsor to cause the proposed Transferee (a “Proposed Transferee”) to purchase from the Purchaser up to a number of Company Shares equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred by the Transferring Sponsor multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Company Shares then owned by the Purchaser and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then owned by the Sponsors, the Purchaser and each other shareholder of the Company eligible to exercise substantially similar tag-along rights with respect to the Proposed Transfer; provided, however, that the Purchaser’s right under this Section 5.2(a) is subject to the determination by the Company that his participation in the Proposed Transfer on the same terms and conditions as the Transferring Sponsor complies with all applicable Federal, state and non-U.S. securities laws or applicable exemptions therefrom.

(b) In addition to the rights granted to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.2(a) above, in connection with any Proposed Transfer that constitutes a Change in Control of the Company, the Purchaser shall have the right (exercisable in accordance with Section 5.2(c) hereof) to (i) in the case of a purchase for cash or cash equivalents of shares of Common Stock owned by the Transferring Sponsor, require the Transferring Sponsor to cause the Proposed Transferee to purchase from the Purchaser, as soon as practicable after the date that the Purchaser acquires shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Options that become vested following the Change in Control (the “Unvested CIC Options”), such shares of Common Stock acquired by the Purchaser pursuant to such

exercise to the extent such shares would have been purchased on the Change in Control (or any subsequent sale by the Transferring Sponsor) pursuant to Section 5.2(a) hereof had such Unvested CIC Options been vested on the applicable date of sale by the Transferring Sponsor for the same price and on the same terms received by the Transferring Sponsor for its shares of Common Stock, and (ii) in the event the Transferring Sponsor receives publicly traded stock in exchange for its shares of Common Stock, require the Transferring Sponsor to cause the Proposed Transferee to agree to provide the Purchaser with shares (or the equivalent cash) with the same value as the shares received by the Transferring Sponsor, measured as of the date of the Change in Control and on the same terms and conditions as the Transferring Sponsor.

(c) Promptly upon receipt thereof, the Company shall give to the Purchaser copies of any written notices, transaction documents and other written information with respect to a Proposed Transfer delivered pursuant to the Sponsor Shareholders Agreement by the Transferring Sponsor to the other Sponsors in connection with such Proposed Transfer, including any written notice from the Transferring Sponsor setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred in the Proposed Transfer, the name and address of the Proposed Transferee, the proposed amount and form of consideration (and, if such consideration consists in part or in whole of property other than cash, any information provided by the Transferring Sponsor at the request of the other Sponsors relating to such non-cash consideration), and other terms and conditions of payment offered by the Proposed Transferee. The tag-along rights provided by this Section 5.2 must be exercised by the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days following receipt by the Purchaser of the first notice delivered to him by the Company with respect to the Proposed Transfer, by delivery of a written notice to the Company and the Transferring Sponsor indicating his desire to exercise his tag-along rights and specifying the number of Company Shares he desires to Transfer in the Proposed Transfer.

Any Transfer of Company Shares by the Purchaser to a Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be on the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, price, time of payment and form of consideration) as to be paid to the Transferring Sponsor; provided that in order to be entitled to exercise his tag-along right pursuant to this Section 5.2, the Purchaser must agree to make to the Proposed Transferee representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements the same mutatis mutandis as those made by the Transferring Sponsor in connection with the Proposed Transfer (other than any non-competition or similar agreements or covenants that would bind the Purchaser), and agree to the same conditions to the Proposed Transfer as the Transferring Sponsor agrees, it being understood that all such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements shall be made by the Transferring Sponsor, the Purchaser and any other shareholder of the Company exercising similar tag-along rights severally and not jointly and that, except with respect to individual representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements of the Purchaser as to the unencumbered title to his Company Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Company Shares, the aggregate amount of the liability of the Purchaser shall not exceed either (i) the Purchaser’s pro rata portion of any such liability to be determined in accordance with the Purchaser’s portion of the total number of shares of Common Stock

included in such Transfer or (ii) the proceeds to the Purchaser in connection with such Transfer. The Purchaser shall be responsible for his proportionate share of the costs of the Proposed Transfer to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Proposed Transferee or the Company.

Section 5.3 Drag-Along Rights.

(a) If Sponsors holding, in the aggregate, at least sixty percent (60%) of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Sponsors from time to time (the “Selling Sponsors”) agree to enter into a transaction (a “Drag-Along Disposition”) which would result in the Transfer of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the aggregate shares of Common Stock then outstanding to a non-Affiliate third party (the “Drag-Along Buyer”) and the Selling Sponsors direct the Company to exercise its rights under this Section 5.3, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof from the Selling Sponsors copies of any written notice(s) delivered by the Selling Sponsors to the other Sponsors pursuant to the Sponsor Shareholder Agreement with respect to the Drag-Along Disposition, together with the Company’s written notice stating that the Company wishes to exercise its right hereunder with respect to such Drag-Along Disposition (a “Drag-Along Notice”), including copies of any written notice from the Selling Sponsors setting forth the name and address of the Drag-Along Buyer, the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred, the proposed amount and form of the consideration, and all other material terms and conditions offered by the Drag-Along Buyer.

(b) Upon delivery of a Drag-Along Notice, the Purchaser shall be required to Transfer that percentage of the Company Shares then owned by him equal to the percentage of shares of Common Stock held by the Selling Sponsors which is being Transferred to the Drag-Along Buyer, upon the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, as to price, time of payment and form of consideration) as agreed by the Selling Sponsors and the Drag-Along Buyer, and shall make to the Drag-Along Buyer representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements comparable to those made by the Selling Sponsors in connection with the Transfer (other than any non-competition or similar agreements or covenants that would bind the Purchaser), and shall agree to the same conditions to the Transfer as the Selling Sponsors agree, it being understood that all such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements shall be made by each Selling Sponsor, the Purchaser and any other shareholder of the Company participating in the Drag-Along Disposition severally and not jointly and that, except with respect to individual representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements of the Purchaser as to the unencumbered title to his Company Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Company Shares, the aggregate amount of the liability of the Purchaser shall not exceed either (i) the Purchaser’s pro rata portion of any such liability, to be determined in accordance with the Purchaser’s portion of the total number of shares of Common Stock included in such Transfer or (ii) the proceeds to the Purchaser in connection with such Transfer.

(c) In the event that any such Transfer is structured as a merger, consolidation, or similar business combination, the Purchaser agrees to (i) vote in favor of the transaction,

(ii) take such other action as maybe required to effect such transaction (subject to Section 5.3(b)), and (iii) take all action to waive any dissenters, appraisal or other similar rights with respect thereto.

(d) If the Purchaser fails to deliver to the Drag-Along Buyer the certificate or certificates evidencing his Company Shares to be sold pursuant to this Section 5.3, the Company may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, request the Selling Sponsors to deposit the purchase price (including any promissory note constituting all or any portion thereof) for such Company Shares with any national bank or trust company having combined capital, surplus and undivided profits in excess of $100 million (the “Escrow Agent”), and the Company shall cancel on its books the certificate or certificates representing such Company Shares and thereupon all of such Purchaser’s rights in and to such Company Shares shall terminate. Thereafter, upon delivery to the Company by flee Purchaser of the, certificate or certificates evidencing such Company Shares (duly endorsed, or with stock powers duly endorsed, for transfer, with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, and with any stock transfer tax stamps affixed), the Company shall notify the Selling Sponsors to instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver the purchase price (without any interest from the date of the closing to the date of such delivery, any such interest to accrue to the Company) to the Purchaser.

Section 5.4 Rights and Obligations of Transferees. Any Transfer of Company Shares by the Purchaser to any Person other than a Sponsor or the Company, which Transfer is otherwise in compliance herewith, shall be permitted hereunder only if the Transferee of such Company Shares agrees in writing that it shall, upon such Transfer, assume with respect to such Company Shares the Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and become, for such purpose, a party to this Agreement and any other agreement or instrument executed and delivered by the Purchaser in respect of the Company Shares.

The Purchaser intends this proxy and power of attorney to be, and it shall be, irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and the Purchaser will take such further action and execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and power of attorney and hereby revokes any proxy or power of attorney previously granted by him with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 5.7.
