(iii)    Until (A) Hancock reduces its indirect (solely to the extent of its direct ownership of Parent) and direct interest in the Company, in the aggregate, to below 4.6% of the equity interests of the Company due to transfers or sales of Hancock’s interests in the Company to unaffiliated third parties or (B) Hancock becomes a Defaulting Partner (as defined under the Parent LPA), Hancock may elect to have an observer (the “Hancock Observer” and, together with the Access Observer, the CPPIB Observers and any other Person appointed as an observer on the Company Board, the “Observers”) attend one (1) meeting of the Company Board annually, with the meeting of the Company Board to be attended by the Hancock Observer in each such year to be determined in the sole discretion of the ECP Stockholders.

(iv)    The Company shall (A) give the Access Observer and each CPPIB Observer notice of all such meetings, at the same time as furnished to the Directors, (B) provide to the Observers all notices, documents and information furnished to the Directors, whether at or in anticipation of a meeting, an action by written consent or otherwise, at the same time furnished to such Directors, (C) notify the Access Observer and each CPPIB Observer of, and permit such Observers to participate by telephone in, emergency meetings of the Company Board and (D) provide the Observers copies of the minutes of all such meetings at the time such minutes are furnished to the Directors.

Section 2.    Transfer Restrictions.

(a)    Each Non-ECP Stockholder hereby agrees that (i) he or she shall not Transfer any shares of Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall have been authorized by a majority of the members of the Company Board and which consent may be (A) withheld in the sole discretion of the Company Board, or (B) given subject to reasonable terms and conditions determined by the Company Board in its sole discretion; provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required in connection with a Transfer permitted by Section 2(d) below, and (ii) the consummation of any Transfer consented to by the Company or any Transfer pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) shall be conditioned upon the absence of any violation of this Agreement, the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state resulting therefrom, and the Non-ECP Stockholders shall, if requested by the Company, deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and counsel for the Company, to the effect that the Transfer is not in violation of this Agreement, the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state; provided that no such opinion shall be required in connection with a Transfer permitted by Section 2(d)(ii). Any purported Transfer in violation of the provisions of this Section 2(a) shall be null and void and shall have no force or effect.

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 2(c) below, Section 2(a) shall not prevent, and Section 2(a) shall not apply to, the Transfer of any shares of Common Stock by any Non-ECP Stockholder to (i) the Company; or (ii) (A) any member of such Non-ECP Stockholder’s immediate family or lineal descendants of such Non-ECP Stockholder (the “Permitted Family Members”), (B) trusts for the benefit of such Non-ECP Stockholder or Permitted Family Members, and (C) upon such Non-ECP Stockholder’s death, such Non-ECP Stockholder’s executors, administrators, testamentary trustees, legatees and beneficiaries; provided that, in the case of subclause (A) and (B), the Non-ECP Stockholder retains the sole and exclusive right to vote and dispose of any shares of Common Stock transferred to the Permitted Family Member or trust (each such person and entity described in clauses (i) and (ii) a “Permitted Transferee” and collectively, the “Permitted Transferees”). All spouses of Non-ECP Stockholders who reside in a community property state shall be required to execute and deliver a Spousal Consent and Acknowledgment to the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (and each Non-ECP Stockholder agrees that, prior to changing such Non-ECP Stockholder’s state of residence to a community property state, such Non-ECP Stockholder’s spouse shall be required to execute and deliver such Spousal Consent and Acknowledgment to the Company to evidence such spouse’s agreement and consent to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as to such spouse’s interest, whether as community property or otherwise, in any such Non-ECP Stockholder’s shares of Common Stock and/or options to purchase shares of Common Stock).

(c)    In addition to the restrictions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, any Transfer of shares of Common Stock by a Non-ECP Stockholder to a transferee shall be permitted only if the transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement pursuant to an instrument of assumption reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company Board. Upon the execution of the instrument of assumption by such transferee, such transferee shall be deemed to be a Non-ECP Stockholder for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Volt Holdings shall be permitted to grant Encumbrances in and upon its shares of Common Stock that it owns directly, and its direct and indirect rights, title and interest therein, to and under this Agreement and the proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the “Encumbered Interests”) to one or more lenders, arrangers, issuing banks, agents and other financing parties providing debt financing to Volt Holdings (collectively, “Financing Sources”) without the consent of the Company Board or the Company, and each Stockholder agrees that any such Encumbrance shall not constitute a Transfer hereunder, and (ii) subject to Section 2, Section 3 and Section 4, such Financing Sources shall in no event be restricted by this Agreement from exercising rights and remedies, including any foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or sale, with respect to such Encumbered Interests in accordance with the definitive financing documents for such debt financing.

(e)    Repurchase Rights.

(i)    Repurchase Right. With respect to all shares of Common Stock held by any Non-ECP Stockholder and his or her Permitted Transferees, the Company shall have the option to repurchase any shares of Common Stock held by the Non-ECP Stockholder or his or her Permitted Transferees (the “Repurchase Right”) exercisable any time during the period commencing on the date of a Repurchase Trigger (as defined in the CPN Management LPA) until the Initial Repurchase Deadline (as defined in the CPN Management LPA). The Repurchase Right shall be exercised by written notice to the Non-ECP Stockholder given in accordance with Section 8(g) of this Agreement (a “Repurchase Notice”) on or prior to the Repurchase Deadline. The repurchase price payable by the Company to repurchase the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Repurchase Right shall be the Repurchase Price (as defined in the CPN Management LPA). The Repurchase Right may be exercised more than once and may be exercised with respect to some or all of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of any Repurchase Notice (including repurchasing only such Common Stock that are subject to purchase at a lower Repurchase Price), and any Common Stock subject to repurchase hereunder may be purchased at different Repurchase Prices.

(ii)    Subject to Section 2(e)(v), the repurchase of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Repurchase Right shall take place on a date specified by the Company, but in no event following the later of (A) the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of the Repurchase Notice and (B) if applicable, the tenth (10th) day following the receipt by the Company of all necessary governmental approvals. On such date, the Non-ECP Stockholder or his or her Permitted Transferees shall transfer the shares of Common Stock subject to the Repurchase Notice to the Company, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, by delivering the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock to be purchased, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, or accompanied by a stock power duly executed in blank, and the Company shall pay to the Non-ECP

Stockholder and his or her Permitted Transferees, as applicable, the Repurchase Price. The Non-ECP Stockholder shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company in order to expedite all proceedings described in this Section 2(e).

(iii)    Form of Consideration. Subject to Section 2(e)(v), the Company may pay the Repurchase Price for such Common Stock by delivery of funds deposited into an account designated by such Non-ECP Stockholder, a bank cashier’s check, a certified check or a company check of the Company for the Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as necessary to comply with the Code, or any other provision of applicable law, with respect to the making of such payment.

(iv)    Release. As a condition of any repurchase of Common Stock under this Section 2(e), the Non-ECP Stockholder will be required to execute a release in favor of CPN Management and its Partners (as defined in the CPN Management LPA) and Affiliates, releasing CPN Management and its Partners and Affiliates from all liabilities to such Non-ECP Stockholder.

(v)    Repurchase Disability.

(A)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except as otherwise provided by Section 2(e)(v)(B), the Company shall not be permitted to purchase any Common Stock upon exercise of the Repurchase Right if CPN Management (or its general partner) determines that: (1) the purchase of such Common Stock would render the Company or its subsidiaries unable to meet their obligations in the ordinary course of business taking into account any pending or proposed transactions, capital expenditures or other budgeted cash outlays by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including any proposed acquisition of any other entity by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (2) the Company is prohibited from purchasing Common Stock by applicable law restricting the purchase by an entity of its own equity securities, or (3) the purchase of Common Stock would constitute a breach of, default, or event of default under, or is otherwise prohibited by, the terms of any loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party (the “Financing Documents”) or the Company or any of its subsidiaries is not able to obtain the requisite consent of any of its senior lenders to effect the purchase of the Interests. The events described in (1) through (3) above each constitute a “Repurchase Disability.”

(B)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(e)(v)(C), in the event a Repurchase Disability shall occur, the Company shall notify in writing such Non-ECP Stockholder (such notice, a “Disability Notice”). The Disability Notice shall specify the nature of the Repurchase Disability. The Company shall thereafter purchase the Common Stock described in the Disability Notice as soon as reasonably practicable after all Repurchase Disabilities cease to exist (or the Company may elect, but shall have no obligation, to cause its nominee to purchase such Common Stock while any Repurchase Disabilities continue to exist). In the event that the Company suspends its obligations to purchase such Common Stock pursuant to a Repurchase Disability, (1) the Company shall provide written notice to such Non-ECP Stockholder as soon as practicable after all

Repurchase Disabilities cease to exist (the “Reinstatement Notice”); (2) the Repurchase Price, if applicable, of such Common Stock shall be determined as of the date the Reinstatement Notice is delivered to such Non-ECP Stockholder; and (3) the redemption shall occur on a date specified by CPN Management within ten (10) days following the later of (x) the date the Reinstatement Notice is delivered to such Non-ECP Stockholder and (y) if applicable, the date of the determination of the Repurchase Price of the Common Stock to be repurchased.

(C)    Notwithstanding Section 2(e)(v)(A) and (B), if (x) the Company has exercised the Repurchase Right and (y) a Repurchase Disability shall occur, then, in the sole discretion of CPN Management, CPN Management may cause the Company to purchase such Common Stock, and, in lieu of cash consideration, issue a promissory note to the Non-ECP Stockholder in the amount of the Repurchase Price, the terms of which promissory note shall be acceptable to the Company’s senior lenders and shall not result in a breach or violation of any of the Financing Documents. The promissory note shall (1) bear simple interest at the Prime Rate (as defined in the CPN Management LPA) as published in the Wall Street Journal on the date such payment is due and owing from such date to the date such payment is made and (2) have such other reasonable terms and conditions as may be determined by CPN Management. All payments of interest accrued under the promissory note shall be paid only at the date of payment by the Company of the principal amount of such promissory note.

Section 3.    Drag-Along Rights.

(a)    If CPN Management (the “Drag-Along Transferor”) at any time, or from time to time, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, proposes to Transfer shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire Common Stock) to one or more non-Affiliate Persons other than to any other Stockholder (collectively, a “Drag-Along Transferee”) and such Transfer would constitute a Transfer of at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock or a Change in Control (a “Drag-Along Sale”), then the Drag-Along Transferor shall have the right (a “Drag-Along Right”), but not the obligation, to require each other Stockholder to tender for purchase to the Drag-Along Transferee a number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any vested options to purchase Common Stock (“Vested Options”) and any options that vest as a result of the consummation of the Transfer to the Drag-Along Transferee) that, in the aggregate, equal the number derived by multiplying (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Stockholder (including shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of all Vested Options held by the Stockholder whether or not exercised and including any options that vest as a result of the consummation of the Transfer to the Drag-Along Transferee) by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Drag-Along Transferor in connection with the transaction or series of related transactions and the denominator of which is the total number of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (including shares issuable upon the exercise of rights to acquire Common Stock) held by the Drag-Along Transferor.

(b)    If the Drag-Along Transferor elects to exercise its Drag-Along Right under this Section 3 with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by the Stockholders, the Drag-

Along Transferor shall notify each Stockholder in writing (collectively, the “Drag-Along Notices”). Each Drag-Along Notice shall set forth: (i) the name and address of the Drag-Along Transferee, (ii) the proposed amount and form of consideration and terms and conditions of payment offered by the Drag-Along Transferee, (iii) the expected closing date of the proposed Drag-Along Sale, and (iv) a summary of any other material terms pertaining to the Transfer (“Third Party Terms”). The Drag-Along Notices shall be given at least thirty (30) days before the expected closing of the proposed Transfer.

(c)    Upon the giving of a Drag-Along Notice, each Stockholder shall (i) be obligated to sell the number of shares of Common Stock and Vested Options determined pursuant to Section 3(a) on the Third Party Terms at the same time and for the same price of the Common Stock and on no worse terms in any material respect (subject to any applicable legal, tax and accounting differences among the Stockholders and the Drag-Along Transferor) applicable to the Common Stock being Transferred by the Drag-Along Transferor in such Drag-Along Sale; provided that (A) in the event of a Drag-Along Sale, each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that it shall be entitled to the same form of consideration, unless otherwise elected by such Stockholder, as the Drag-Along Transferor, (B) at the request of the Drag-Along Transferee, all or a portion of the purchase price payable to the Stockholders in connection with a Drag-Along Sale may be held back in an escrow account (on a pro rata basis among the Stockholders based on the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be Transferred in such Drag-Along Sale) for the purpose of satisfying such Stockholders’ obligations under the applicable documents relating to the Drag-Along Sale, including indemnity obligations, and (C) in the case of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Vested Options, the Drag-Along Transferor may require a Drag-Along Transferee to exercise such Vested Options, in whole or in part, prior to or simultaneously with the closing of the Transfer(s) described in Section 3(a), (ii) execute such documents and make such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as are (and when) executed and made by the Drag-Along Transferor in connection with such Transfer and will take and cause its Affiliates to take, any and all other actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to consummate the Drag-Along Sale; provided that (A) other than for fraud by such Stockholder, the maximum amount of a Stockholder’s liability in a Drag-Along Sale will be no greater than the consideration that such Stockholder actually receives in such Drag-Along Sale, (B) any indemnification obligations will be several and not joint to the extent that any amount of consideration held in escrow is exhausted and will be apportioned on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate consideration to be received by each such Stockholder in such Drag-Along Sale) as among the Drag-Along Transferor and the Stockholders, other than, in each case, with respect to representations, warranties and covenants relating to, and made individually by, a Stockholder (which representations and warranties shall be limited to title, organization, authority, execution, no conflicts and broker’s fees) and (C) no Stockholder shall be obligated to provide any post-Closing restrictive covenants (other than customary confidentiality restrictions) in connection with the Drag-Along Sale, (iii) consent to and raise no objections against the Drag-Along Sale or the process pursuant to which the Drag-Along Sale was arranged, (iv) waive any dissenter’s rights and other similar rights, (v) take all actions reasonably required, desirable or requested by the Drag-Along Transferor to consummate such Drag-Along Sale, (vi) comply with the terms of the documentation relating to the Drag-Along Sale and (vii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to facilitate and take the actions described in this Section 3(c).

(d)    At the closing of the Transfer to any Drag-Along Transferee pursuant to this Section 3, the Drag-Along Transferee shall remit to the Stockholder the consideration for the total sales price of the Common Stock and unexercised Vested Options held by the Stockholder sold pursuant hereto, minus any consideration to be escrowed or otherwise held back in accordance with the Third Party Terms, and minus the aggregate exercise price of any unexercised Vested Options being Transferred by the Stockholder to the Drag-Along Transferee, against delivery by the Stockholder of certificates for Common Stock, duly endorsed for Transfer or with duly executed stock powers and, as applicable, an instrument evidencing the transfer or the cancellation of the unexercised Vested Options subject to the Drag-Along Right reasonably acceptable to the Company, and the compliance by the Stockholder with any other conditions to closing generally applicable to the Drag-Along Transferor and all other holders of Common Stock selling shares in the transaction.

(e)    All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Drag-Along Transferor and the Company in connection with any proposed Drag-Along Sale, whether or not consummated (including all attorneys’ fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions) (“Transaction Expenses”), shall be paid by the Company or its subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that this Section 3(e) shall not prevent any Drag-Along Sale to be structured in a manner such that some or all of the Transaction Expenses result in a pro rata reduction in the consideration received by the Stockholders in such Drag-Along Sale.

(f)    This Section 3 shall terminate upon the consummation of an Initial Public Offering.

Section 4.    Tag-Along Rights.

(a)    If CPN Management (the “Tag-Along Transferor”) at any time proposes to Transfer shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire Common Stock) in a single Transfer or a series of related Transfers, and such Transfer(s) would constitute a Transfer of at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock or a Change in Control, to one or more non-Affiliate Persons other than (A) to any other Stockholder, (B) in connection with any Parent Distribution (as defined under the CPN Management LPA) or (c) in connection with a Transfer permitted by Section 2(d) (collectively, a “Tag-Along Transferee”), then each Non-ECP Stockholder (each a “Tagging Stockholder”) shall have the right (the “Tag-Along Right”) to require that the proposed Tag-Along Transferee purchase from such Tagging Stockholder (a “Tag-Along Sale”) up to the number of shares of Common Stock (including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Vested Options (including options that vest as a result of the consummation of the Transfer to the Tag-Along Transferee)) equal to the number derived by multiplying (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock that the proposed Tag-Along Transferee has agreed or committed to purchase by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock (including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Vested Options (including options that vest as a result of the consummation of the Transfer to the Tag-Along Transferee)) owned by the Tagging Stockholder, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (including shares issuable upon the exercise of rights to acquire Common Stock). Neither the Tag-Along Transferor nor any Affiliate of the Tag-Along Transferor shall have any liability to any Tagging Stockholder or the Company arising from, relating to or in connection with

the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any such Tag-Along Sale, except to the extent such Tag-Along Transferor shall have failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 4(a) and a Tag-Along Sale otherwise occurs.

(b)    The Tag-Along Transferor shall notify each Tagging Stockholder in writing in the event such Tag-Along Transferor proposes to make a Transfer or series of Transfers giving rise to a Tag-Along Right at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the Tag-Along Transferor expects to consummate such Transfer (the “Sale Notice”) which notice shall specify (i) the name and address of the Tag-Along Transferee, (ii) the proposed amount and form of consideration and terms and conditions of payment offered by the Tag-Along Transferee, (iii) the expected closing date of the proposed Tag-Along Sale, and (iv) any other material terms of the proposed Tag-Along Sale. The Tag-Along Right may be exercised by any Tagging Stockholder by delivery of an irrevocable written notice to the Tag-Along Transferor (the “Tag-Along Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days following delivery of the Sale Notice from the Tag-Along Transferor. The Tag-Along Notice shall state the number of shares of Common Stock (including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Vested Options (including options that vest as a result of the consummation of the Transfer to the Tag-Along Transferee)) that the Tagging Stockholder proposes to include in such Transfer to the proposed Tag-Along Transferee (not to exceed the number as determined above); provided that, in the case of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Vested Options, the Tag-Along Transferor may require a Tagging Stockholder to exercise such Vested Options, in whole or in part, prior to or simultaneously with the closing of the Transfer(s) described in Section 4(a). Following such ten (10)-Business Day period, each Tagging Stockholder that has delivered a Tag-Along Notice shall be entitled to sell to the Tag-Along Transferee on the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice, concurrently with the Tag-Along Transferor and other Tagging Stockholders electing to participate in such Tag-Along Sale. Any Tagging Stockholder that has not notified the Tag-Along Transferor of its intent to exercise Tag-Along Rights within the period of time specified in this Section 4(b) will be conclusively deemed to have elected not to exercise such Tag-Along Rights with respect to the Transfer contemplated by such notice.

(c)    In connection with any Tag-Along Sale, each Tagging Stockholder who elects to participate in the Tag-Along Sale shall (i) be obligated to sell the number of shares of Common Stock and Vested Options set forth in each Tagging Stockholder’s Tag-Along Notice at the same time and for the same price of the Common Stock and on no worse terms in any material respect (subject to any applicable legal, tax and accounting differences among the Tagging Stockholders and the Tag-Along Transferor) applicable to the Common Stock being Transferred by the Tag-Along Transferor in such Tag-Along Sale; provided that (A) in the event of a Tag-Along Sale, each Tagging Stockholder acknowledges and agrees it shall be entitled to the same form of consideration, unless otherwise elected by such Tagging Stockholder, as the Tag-Along Transferor and (B) at the request of the Tag-Along Transferee, all or a portion of the purchase price payable to the Tagging Stockholder in connection with a Tag-Along Sale may be held back in an escrow account (on a pro rata basis among the Tag-Along Transferor and the Tagging Stockholders based on the number of shares of Common Stock to be Transferred in such Tag-Along Sale) for the purpose of satisfying such Tagging Stockholder’s obligations under the applicable documents relating to the Tag-Along Sale, including indemnity obligations, (ii) execute such documents and make such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities (provided, that (A) any indemnification obligations will be several and not

joint to the extent that any amount of the consideration held in escrow is exhausted and will be apportioned on a pro rata basis among the Tag-Along Transferor and the Tagging Stockholders (based on the aggregate consideration to be received by such Tag-Along Transferor and Tagging Stockholders in such Tag-Along Sale), other than with respect to representations, warranties and covenants relating to, and made individually by, the Tag-Along Transferor (which representations and warranties shall be limited to title, organization, authority, execution, no conflicts and broker’s fees) and (B) no Tagging Stockholder shall be obligated to provide any post-Closing restrictive covenants (other than customary confidentiality restrictions) in connection with the Tag-Along Sale) and agreements as are (and when) executed and made by the Tag-Along Transferor in connection with such Transfer and will take and cause its Affiliates to take, any and all other actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to consummate the Tag-Along Sale, (iii) consent to and raise no objections against the Tag-Along Sale or the process pursuant to which the Tag-Along Sale was arranged, (iv) waive any dissenter’s rights and other similar rights, (v) take all actions reasonably required, desirable or requested by the Tag-Along Transferor to consummate such Tag-Along Sale, (vi) comply with the terms of the documentation relating to the Tag-Along Sale and (vii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to facilitate and take the actions described in this Section 4(c).

(d)    At the closing of the Transfer to any Tag-Along Transferee pursuant to this Section 4, the Tag-Along Transferee shall remit to each Tagging Stockholder who exercised his or her Tag-Along Right the consideration for the total sales price of the Common Stock and unexercised Vested Options held by the Tagging Stockholder sold pursuant hereto, minus any such consideration to be escrowed or otherwise held back in accordance with the Third Party Terms, and minus the aggregate exercise price of any unexercised Vested Options being Transferred by the Tagging Stockholder to the Tag-Along Transferee, against delivery by the Tagging Stockholder of certificates for Common Stock, duly endorsed for Transfer or with duly executed stock powers and an instrument evidencing the transfer or the cancellation of the Vested Options subject to the Tag-Along Right reasonably acceptable to the Company, and the compliance by the Tagging Stockholder with any other conditions to closing generally applicable to the Tag-Along Transferor and all other holders of Common Stock selling shares in the transaction.

(e)    To the extent not covered by the proposed Tag-Along Transferee, all costs and expenses of the Tag-Along Transferor incurred for the benefit of both the Tag-Along Transferor and the Tagging Stockholder in connection with the Tag-Along Sale shall be borne on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate consideration to be received by the Tag-Along Transferor and Tagging Stockholders in such Tag-Along Sale).

(f)    In the event that the Tag-Along Sale contemplated by a Sale Notice has not been completed within 120 days after the delivery of the Sale Notice for such Tag-Along Sale (subject to extension to the extent necessary to obtain required governmental or other approvals), then such Sale Notice shall be null and void, each Tagging Stockholder that elected to participate in the Tag-Along Sale and delivered a Tag-Along Notice shall be released from its obligations under such Tag-Along Notice and it shall be necessary for a separate Sale Notice to be furnished by the Tag-Along Transferor, and the other terms and provisions of this Section 4 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 4. All costs and expenses of the Tag-Along Transferor incurred for the benefit of both the Tag-Along Transferor and the

Tagging Stockholders in connection with such failed Tag-Along Sale shall be borne on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate consideration to have been received by the Tag-Along Transferor and Tagging Stockholders in such Tag-Along Sale).

(g)    If there is a material change to the economic terms contained in the Sale Notice, then the Tag-Along Transferor shall promptly notify each Tagging Stockholder thereof and each Tagging Stockholder may revoke its Tag-Along Notice by providing the Tag-Along Transferor an irrevocable written notice of such revocation within 5 calendar days of delivery of written notice of such material change, and the Tag-Along Transferor shall not consummate such Tag-Along Sale unless such Tag-Along Transferor has again complied with this Section 4 (including the provision of a new Sale Notice to each Tagging Stockholder) with respect to such Tag-Along Sale, as so changed.

(h)    This Section 4 shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the consummation of an Initial Public Offering and (b) the eighth anniversary of date hereof.

Section 5.    Cooperation. If the Company or the holders of the Company’s securities enter into any negotiation or transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated under the Securities Act may be available with respect to the negotiation or transaction (including a merger, consolidation, or other reorganization), each Stockholder shall, if requested by the Company, appoint a purchaser representative (as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act) reasonably acceptable to the Company. If the purchaser representative is designated by the Company, the Company shall pay the fees of the purchaser representative, but if any Stockholder appoints another purchaser representative, the Stockholder shall be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed.

Section 6.    Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the first to occur of:

(a)    twelve (12) months following the date on which the Company consummates an Initial Public Offering;

(b)    the complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

(c)    the date established by unanimous resolution of the Company Board terminating this Agreement.

Section 7.    Preemptive Rights.

(a)    The Company hereby grants to each Stockholder other than the Non-ECP Stockholders the right to purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 7, such Stockholder’s pro rata portion of any New Securities (as defined below) which the Company may propose to sell and issue. A Stockholder’s pro rata portion, for purposes of this Section 7, is the ratio of (i) the aggregate shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder immediately prior to any proposed issuance and sale to (ii) the aggregate shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such proposed issuance and sale. As used herein, “New Securities” will mean shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of or profits interests in the Company, whether now or hereinafter authorized, and any right, option, warrant or security of any kind

whatsoever that is, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable for such shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company; provided, however, that the preemptive right provided by this Section 7 will apply to the issuance of the right, warrant, option or convertible or exchangeable security or right and not to the issuance of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise thereof; and provided, further, that the term “New Securities” will not include the issuance of shares of Common Stock or other securities (i) in connection with a debt financing or issuance of debt securities of the Company, (ii) to officers, employees, directors, third-party consultants or other third-party service providers of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to any option or other equity compensation plans in connection with such Person’s employment or consulting arrangements or other service relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries, (iii) in connection with any initial public offering of the equity securities of the Company or the equity securities of a Person formed pursuant to a Reorganization Transaction (as defined in the Parent LPA) or (iv) by reason of any subdivision (by split, distribution in kind, recapitalization or otherwise).

(b)    In the event the Company proposes to issue New Securities, it will give each Stockholder (other than the Non-ECP Stockholders) written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same (the “New Securities Notice”). Each Stockholder will have ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase such Stockholder’s pro rata share of such New Securities for the price specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.

(c)    Promptly upon the expiration of the period of ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the New Securities Notice, the Company will, in writing, inform each Stockholder (other than the Non-ECP Stockholders) which elects to purchase all of the New Securities available for purchase by such Stockholder pursuant to the preemptive rights described in Section 7(a) above of the failure of any other Stockholder to likewise purchase all of the New Securities available for purchase pursuant to such preemptive rights. During the period of five (5) days commencing after the receipt of such information, each fully-exercising Stockholder will have the right to elect to purchase up to its pro rata portion of the New Securities not subscribed for by such non-subscribing holders based on the ratio which (i) the aggregate shares of Common Stock owned by the fully-exercising Stockholder bears to (ii) the aggregate shares of Common Stock owned by all fully-exercising Stockholder.

(d)    In the event any Stockholder fails to exercise its preemptive rights with respect to all or any part of the portion of the New Securities proposed to be sold by the Company within the periods described above, and no other Stockholder has elected to purchase such New Securities pursuant to the over-subscription option set forth in Section 7(c) above, the Company will have one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter to issue and sell or enter into an agreement to issue and sell the New Securities with respect to which such Stockholder’s rights were not exercised, at a price and on terms no more favorable to the purchaser of such New Securities than those set forth in the New Securities Notice. In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such period, the Company will not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first re-offering such securities to the Stockholder in the manner provided above.

(e)    The election by a Stockholder not to exercise its preemptive rights under this Section 7 in any one instance will not affect its right (other than in respect of a reduction in its percentage holdings) as to any subsequent proposed issuance. Any sale of such New Securities by the Company without first giving the Stockholder the rights described in this Section 7 will be void and of no force and effect.

(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, in the event that any ECP Stockholders are issued New Securities (an “ECP Issuance”), such ECP Issuance may occur prior to undertaking the procedures required by this Section 7, in which case the Company shall cause such procedures to be undertaken promptly following such ECP Issuance and such other Stockholder’s pro rata share of any New Securities for purposes of compliance with such procedures shall be calculated without taking into account any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities issued to the ECP Stockholders in such ECP Issuance (but the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities held by the ECP Stockholders prior to the ECP Issuance shall be included in any such calculation).

Section 8.    Miscellaneous.
