22


(e) For the purpose of determining whether the number of Transferable Shares available is greatest under Section 3.2(a)(iii)(A), Section 3.2(a)(iii)(B) or Section 3.2(a)(iii)(C), the number of DTI Securities that remain available for a Management Stockholder Group to transfer in a proposed transfer pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(iii)(A) as of a particular date shall be assumed to be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the dollar amount remaining in the fiscal year in which such sale occurs under such Management Stockholder Group’s Individual Cap by (y) the Fair Market Value of a share of Class C Common Stock; provided, that, solely for purposes of such calculation, clause (i) of the Fair Market Value definition in this Agreement instead shall mean, if there should be a public market for the Class C Common Stock on the determination date, the closing price of a share of Class C Common Stock on the immediately preceding trading day as reported on the composite tape of the principal national securities exchange on which the Class C Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or, if the Class C Common Stock is not listed or admitted on any national securities exchange, the arithmetic mean of the per share closing bid price and per share closing asked price for the Class C Common Stock on the immediately preceding trading day as quoted on any Quotation System shall be the Fair Market Value in all events.

Each Management Stockholder may transfer (x) Transferable Shares or (y) solely with the prior written consent of the Board or the compensation committee of the Board, other DTI Securities, in each case that are held by him, her or it to a Permitted Transferee of such Management Stockholder without complying with the provisions of this Article III, other than Section 3.1; provided, that (i) such Permitted Transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Company a Joinder Agreement as contemplated in Section 3.1(a) and Article VI, or otherwise agreed with the Company, in a written instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that he, she or it will immediately convey record and beneficial ownership of all such Transferable Shares or other DTI Securities (solely if permitted), as the case may be, and all rights and obligations hereunder to such Management Stockholder or another Permitted Transferee of such Management Stockholder if, and immediately prior to such time that, he, she or it ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such Management Stockholder and (ii) in the case of a transfer of Transferable Shares or other DTI Securities (solely if permitted), as the case may be, to a natural person, such natural person’s spouse executes and delivers to the Company a Joinder Agreement and a Spousal Consent as contemplated in Section 3.1(a).

Section 3.4. Tag-Along Rights.

(a) Subject to Section 3.4(g), if any Initiating Tag-Along Seller enters into one or a series of related transactions (including any merger or consolidation) involving the sale, transfer, exchange or conversion of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to any Person (other than one or more Affiliates or Permitted Transferees of such Initiating Tag-Along Seller) (a “Tag-Along Sale”), then the Initiating Tag-Along Seller shall give, or direct the Company to give and the Company shall so promptly give, written notice (a “Tag-Along Sale Notice”) of such proposed transfer to all Eligible Tag-Along Sellers with respect to such Tag-Along Sale at least fifteen (15) days prior to each of the consummation of such proposed transfer and the delivery of a Tag-Along Sale Notice setting forth (i) the number and type of each class of DTI Securities proposed to be transferred, (ii) the consideration to be received for such DTI

 

23


Securities by such Initiating Tag-Along Seller, (iii) the identity of the purchaser (the “Tag-Along Buyer”), (iv) a detailed summary of all material terms and conditions of the proposed transfer, (v) the fraction, expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of DTI Securities to be purchased from the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees by the total number of DTI Securities held by such Initiating Tag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees (the “Tag-Along Sale Percentage”) and (vi) an invitation to each Eligible Tag-Along Seller to irrevocably agree to include in the Tag-Along Sale up to a number of Transferable Shares held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller equal to the product of the total number of Transferable Shares held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller multiplied by the Tag-Along Sale Percentage (such amount of DTI Securities with respect to each Eligible Tag-Along Seller, such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s “Tag-Along Shares”). In the event that more than one Stockholder proposes to execute a Tag-Along Sale as an Initiating Tag-Along Seller, then all such transferring Stockholders shall be treated as the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, and the DTI Securities held and to be transferred by such Stockholders shall be aggregated as set forth in Section 7.15, including for purposes of calculating the applicable Tag-Along Sale Percentage. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4 to the contrary, if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller is transferring Common Stock or vested in-the-money Company Stock Options in such Tag-Along Sale, each of the Eligible Tag-Along Sellers shall be entitled to transfer the same proportion of Transferable Shares held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller as the proportion of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller’s Common Stock and vested in-the-money Company Stock Options (relative to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller’s total number of such DTI Securities) that are being sold by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale (with each vested in the money Company Stock Option counting as a share of Common Stock for purposes of the foregoing calculation). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, no DTI Securities that are subject to any vesting or similar condition may be transferred prior to such time as such DTI Securities have fully vested and become Transferable Shares; provided, that it is understood that if such DTI Securities vest in connection with such Tag-Along Sale and would become Transferable Shares, such Transferable Shares may be transferred in connection therewith in accordance with this Section 3.4.

(b) Upon delivery of a Tag-Along Sale Notice, each Eligible Tag-Along Seller may elect to include all or a portion of such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares in such Tag-Along Sale (Eligible Tag-Along Sellers who make such an election being an “Electing Tag-Along Seller” and, together with the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and all other Persons (other than any Affiliates of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller) who otherwise are transferring, or have exercised a contractual or other right to transfer, Transferable Shares in connection with such Tag-Along Sale, the “Tag-Along Sellers”), at the same price per Share (it being understood that all classes or series of Common Stock shall be at the same price per share) and pursuant to the same terms and conditions as agreed to by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and otherwise in accordance with this Section 3.4, by sending an irrevocable written notice (a “Tag-Along Participation Notice”) to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller within fifteen (15) days of the date the Tag-Along Sale Notice is received by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller, indicating such Electing Tag-Along Seller’s irrevocable election, subject to Section 3.4(c), to include its Tag-Along Shares in the Tag-Along Sale and setting forth the number of Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares it elects to include. Following such fifteen (15) day period, each Electing Tag-Along Seller that has delivered a Tag-Along Participation Notice shall be entitled to sell to such proposed transferee on the same terms and conditions as and, concurrently with,

 

24


the other Electing Tag-Along Sellers and the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, such Electing Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares it elects to include, which terms and conditions have been set forth in the Tag-Along Sale Notice. Each Eligible Tag-Along Seller who does not deliver a Tag-Along Participation Notice within such fifteen (15) day period shall have waived and be deemed to have waived all of such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s rights with respect to such Tag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that in order to be entitled to exercise its right to include Tag-Along Shares in a Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 3.4, each Electing Tag-Along Seller must agree to make the same representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements to the Tag-Along Buyer as made by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and any Electing Tag-Along Seller in connection with the Tag-Along Sale (and shall be subject to the same escrow or other holdback arrangements as such Persons so long as such escrows or other holdbacks are proportionately based on the amount of consideration received for the sale of DTI Securities in such Tag-Along Sale transaction); provided, that:

(i) each Electing Tag-Along Seller shall be entitled to receive its pro rata portion (based on the relative amount and type of Transferable Shares sold in such Tag-Along Sale transaction) of any deferred consideration or indemnification payments relating to such Tag-Along Sale (provided, however, that, with respect to any unexercised Company Stock Options proposed to be transferred in such Tag-Along Sale by any Tag-Along Seller, the per share consideration in respect thereof shall be reduced by the exercise price of such options or, if required pursuant to the terms of such options or such Tag-Along Sale, such Tag-Along Seller must exercise the relevant option and transfer the relevant Transferable Shares (rather than the option) (in each case, net of any amounts required to be withheld by the Company in connection with such exercise));

(ii) the aggregate amount of liability of each Electing Tag-Along Seller shall not exceed the proceeds received by such Electing Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale;

(iii) all indemnification obligations (other than with respect to the matters referenced in Section 3.4(b)(iv)) shall be on a several and not joint basis to the Tag-Along Sellers pro rata (based on the amount of consideration received by each Tag-Along Seller in the Tag-Along Sale transaction); and

(iv) no Electing Tag-Along Seller shall be responsible for any indemnification obligations and/or liabilities (including through escrow or hold back arrangements) for (A) breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties made with respect to any other Tag-Along Seller’s (1) ownership of and title to DTI Securities, (2) organization and authority or (3) conflicts and consents and any other matter concerning such other Person and/or (B) breaches of any covenant specifically relating to any other Tag-Along Seller.

(c) Notwithstanding the delivery of any Tag-Along Sale Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any Tag-Along Sale and as to the timing, manner, price and, subject to Section 3.4(b)(i) through (iv), other terms and conditions of any such Tag-Along Sale shall be at the sole discretion of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, and none of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall have any liability to

 

25


any Electing Tag-Along Seller arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Tag-Along Sale except to the extent such Initiating Tag-Along Seller failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.4; provided, that (i) if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller agrees to amend, restate, modify or supplement the terms and/or conditions of the Tag-Along Sale after such time that any Stockholder has elected to be an Electing Tag-Along Seller in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.4, the Initiating Tag-Along Seller shall promptly notify the Company and each Electing Tag-Along Seller of such amendment, restatement, modification and/or supplement and (ii) each such Electing Tag-Along Seller shall have the right to withdraw its Tag-Along Participation Notice by delivering written notice of such withdrawal to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller within five (5) Business Days of the date of receipt of such notice from the Initiating Tag-Along Seller.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4 to the contrary, this Section 3.4 shall not apply to (i) any transfers of DTI Securities to a Permitted Transferee of the transferring Stockholder and/or (ii) any transfer of shares of Class C Common Stock in a registered public offering (whether in a Demand Registration, Piggyback Registration, Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or otherwise), it being understood that Management Stockholders’ participation rights in connection with transfers of Transferable Shares in a registered public offering (whether in a Demand Registration, Piggyback Registration, Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or otherwise) shall be governed by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(e) All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Sponsor Stockholders and/or one (1) outside legal counsel acting jointly for the Management Stockholders (which legal counsel shall have been approved in advance by the Sponsor Stockholders), in each case, in connection with such Tag-Along Sale shall be allocated and borne on a pro rata basis by each Tag-Along Seller in accordance with the amount of consideration otherwise received by each Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that this Section 3.4(e) shall not prevent any Tag-Along Sale to be structured in a manner such that some or all of the such costs and expenses result in a pro rata reduction in the consideration received by the Tag-Along Sellers in such Tag-Along Sale.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller has not completed the proposed Tag-Along Sale within one hundred twenty (120) days following delivery of the Tag-Along Sale Notice in accordance with this Section 3.4, the Initiating Tag-Along Seller may not then effect such proposed Tag-Along Sale without again complying with the provisions of this Section 3.4; provided, that if such proposed Tag-Along Sale is subject to, and conditioned on, one or more prior regulatory approvals, then such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended solely to the extent necessary until no later than the expiration of ten (10) days after all such approvals shall have been received.

(g) This Section 3.4 automatically terminates without any further action upon an IPO.

 

26


Section 3.5. Black-Out Periods.

(a) In the event of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (whether a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Registration Rights Agreement or an underwritten offering of Shares pursuant to Section 2.4 or Section 2.5 of the Registration Rights Agreement, each of the Management Stockholders agrees if requested by the Company or the managing underwriter or underwriters in such underwritten offering, not to (1) offer for sale, sell, pledge, hypothecate, transfer, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option or right to purchase of or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any DTI Securities (including DTI Securities that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Management Stockholder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and DTI Securities that may be issued upon exercise of any Company Stock Options or warrants or settlement of any Company Awards) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for DTI Securities, (2) enter into any swap, hedging arrangement or other derivatives transaction with respect to any DTI Securities (including DTI Securities that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Management Stockholder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and DTI Securities that may be issued upon exercise of any Company Stock Options or warrants or settlement of any Company Awards) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for DTI Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of DTI Securities, in cash or otherwise or (3) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (1) through (3), during each of the following time periods: (X) in the case of an IPO, during the period beginning seven (7) days before, and ending one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, (Y) in the case of any other underwritten offering but subject to clause (Z), during the period beginning seven (7) days before, and ending ninety (90) days thereafter and (Z) in the case of any other offering or shelf takedown, such other period as may be requested by the Company that is no less favorable to the Management Stockholders than that applicable to the Sponsor Holders, the managing underwriter or underwriters, or the Person initiating such offering or shelf take-down; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit a Management Stockholder from exercising its rights, if any, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) If requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters of any such underwritten offering, each Management Stockholder shall execute a customary agreement reflecting its agreement set forth in this Section 3.5.

Section 3.6. Applicability to Post-Recapitalization Awards. Anything in this Article III to the contrary notwithstanding, Section 3.5 shall apply to Shares that are, or are issued upon the exercise or settlement of, Post-Recapitalization Awards and Section 3.2, Section 3.3, and Section 3.4 shall not restrict or provide any rights with respect to such Shares.

Section 4.2. Put Right of the Management Stockholders.

For the avoidance of doubt, a Share issuable upon exercise of a Company Stock Option or similar purchase right or in settlement of a Company Award shall not be considered owned by the Applicable Employee and/or any member of such Applicable Employee’s Management Group for purposes of this Section 4.2 until such Share is actually issued by the Company upon exercise of the Company Stock Option or similar award or settlement of the Company Award.

(b) Subject to Section 4.3, upon the exercise of a Put Right with respect to any Put Shares pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Company shall purchase each of the Put Shares no later than 11:59 p.m. New York City time on the thirtieth (30th) day following the Put Date with respect to such Put Right (provided, that if such day is not a Business Day, then the Put Shares shall be purchased on the immediately succeeding Business Day), for the Put Price, in each case (x) payable in cash and (y) minus any applicable tax withholdings.

Section 4.3. Limitations on Repurchases.

(a) Repurchase Delays. If (i) the Company is prohibited from repurchasing shares of Common Stock, including any Put Shares for which a Put Right was or may be exercised, pursuant to Delaware law or other applicable law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, non-U.S. law and/or foreign exchange or currency control laws and regulations), due to a Put Blackout Period and/or under the terms of any preferred stock, debt financing arrangements or other indebtedness of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or (ii) the Company’s Subsidiaries are prohibited or prevented from distributing to the Company sufficient proceeds or funds to enable the Company to effect such repurchase of Put Shares in accordance with Delaware law or other applicable law and/or the then applicable terms and conditions of any preferred stock, debt financing arrangement or other indebtedness of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries) (the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, “Repurchase Limitations”), the Company shall repurchase, as soon as, and to the maximum extent possible, such number of Put Shares that can

 

29


be purchased under, and in compliance with, the Repurchase Limitations, without violating any provisions, terms and/or conditions thereof, in each case, subject to Section 4.3(c). The Company will use its good faith efforts to cause any debt financing arrangements to permit at least $100,000,000 of repurchases of DTI Securities each fiscal year; provided, that in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates be required to agree to any, or amend, supplement, waive or modify any, terms or conditions in a manner adverse to the Company or its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates. The Company shall repurchase all Put Shares which the Company failed to purchase due to Repurchase Limitations as soon as practicable, in compliance with, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement.

(b) Repurchase Caps. In addition to the Repurchase Limitations set forth in Section 4.3(a) and subject to the repurchase priority set forth in Section 4.3(c), notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company’s obligation to repurchase shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4.3(b). Repurchases of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of Put Rights or similar contractual rights of stockholders of the Company (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any net share withholding to pay the minimum required tax withholding due in connection with the issuance or vesting of such Shares) are collectively subject to, and the Company is not obligated to purchase any such Shares, in any fiscal year period in excess of the lesser of (i) $300,000,000 in the aggregate and (ii) the amount available at the time of such repurchase under the restricted payment basket in section 6.08(a)(vi) of the Credit Agreement or the lowest amount pursuant to a comparable provision in any other instruments or agreements evidencing debt securities, term loan indebtedness and other debt financing arrangements of the Company and/or its Affiliates (the “Aggregate Cap”) and the remaining amount under each Management Stockholder Group’s Individual Cap (together with the Aggregate Cap, the “Repurchase Caps”); provided, that the Company (solely with the Board’s prior written consent) may waive the Aggregate Cap or any applicable Individual Cap as it may apply to the Management Stockholder Group of any Applicable Employee. The Company shall repurchase all shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of Put Rights or similar contractual rights of stockholders of the Company (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any net share withholding in connection with the exercise of Company Stock Options to acquire such shares) which the Company failed to purchase due to the Repurchase Caps as soon as practicable, in compliance with, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.3, until such date as Put Shares held by a Management Stockholder are repurchased in accordance with Section 4.2, the Management Stockholder shall have all the rights and privileges as a holder of Shares with respect to such Put Shares, including but not limited to the rights set forth in Section 3.4 (Tag-Along Rights).

(c) Repurchase Priority. In the event that either the repurchase of Put Shares of more than one Person has been delayed pursuant to Section 4.3(a) and/or a Management Stockholder Group’s shares of Common Stock cannot be repurchased due to the Repurchase Caps, the Company shall repurchase any then pending Put Shares that it is permitted under this Section 4.3 to repurchase but which the Company failed to purchase due to Repurchase Limitations on a pro rata basis among all holders of such shares.

 

30


Section 4.4. Further Assurances.

(a) Upon the delivery to the Company of a Put Notice by an Applicable Employee, such Applicable Employee and each member of such Applicable Employee’s Management Stockholder Group and the Company shall take all action or actions reasonably requested of such Persons by the Company that are necessary or appropriate to complete or facilitate such purchase of such Put Shares pursuant this Article IV.

Section 4.5. Termination of Article IV. The obligation of the Company to purchase any Put Shares as set forth in this Article IV, automatically terminates without any further action upon the earliest to occur of (a) a Release Event or (b) the consummation of a Change in Control in which the Shares held by Management Stockholders are exchanged for, or converted into, equity securities of a Person, which equity securities are listed on a securities exchange or automated quotation system.

Section 4.6. Not Applicable to Post-Recapitalization Awards. This Article IV shall not apply to any Shares that are, or are issued upon the exercise or settlement of, Post-Recapitalization Awards.

Section 4.7. Reinstatement of Put Right. Notwithstanding Section 4.5 and Section 4.6, in the event that the Class C Common Stock (or any successor thereto) ceases to be registered under the Exchange Act and listed or quoted, as applicable, on at least one of The New York Stock Exchange, NYSE MKT LLC, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, The NASDAQ Global Market, The NASDAQ Capital Market (or any of their respective successors) or any other established U.S. securities exchange or Quotation System, then as of such date, the provisions governing Put Rights under Article IV of the First Restated Agreement automatically will be reinstated, mutatis mutandis, including without limitation, with respect to Post-Recapitalization Awards.

31


Management Stockholder in accordance with Article III. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, no Management Stockholder shall disclose or use in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, any Confidential Information, any information concerning the Company, any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of its or their respective employees, directors or consultants received on a confidential basis from the Company or any other Person under or pursuant to this Agreement including financial terms and financial and organizational information contained in any documents, statements, certificates, materials or information furnished, or to be furnished, by or on behalf of the Company or any other Person in connection with the purchase or ownership of any DTI Securities; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed, now or in the future, to apply to any information obtained from sources other than the Company, any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of its or their employees, directors, consultants, agents or representatives (including attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, engineers and insurance brokers) or information that is or becomes in the public domain through no fault of such Management Stockholder or any of his, her or its Permitted Transferees, nor shall it be construed to prevent such Management Stockholder from making any disclosure of any information (A) if required to do so by any statute, law, treaty, rule, regulation, order, decree, writ, injunction or determination of any court or other governmental authority, in each case applicable to or binding upon such Management Stockholder or (B) pursuant to subpoena

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or impede any Applicable Employee from communicating, cooperating or filing a complaint with any U.S. federal, state or local governmental or law enforcement branch, agency or entity (collectively, a “Governmental Entity”) with respect to possible violations of any U.S. federal, state or local law or regulation, or otherwise making disclosures to any Governmental Entity, in each case, that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any such law or regulation; provided, that in each case such communications and disclosures are consistent with applicable law. No Applicable Employee shall need the prior authorization of (or to give notice to) the Company regarding any such communication or disclosure. Each Applicable Employee understands and acknowledges that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of the law; or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. The Applicable Employee understands and acknowledges further that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstance is any Applicable Employee authorized to disclose any information covered by the Company’s attorney client privilege or attorney work product without the prior written consent of the Company’s General Counsel.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Share Rollover Agreements, the RSU Rollover Agreements and any Company Award between the Company and an Applicable Employee for any Management Stockholder) constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding, agreement or statement of intent, in each case, written or oral, of any and every nature with respect thereto. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any document executed or delivered to effect the purposes of this Agreement, including the Organizational Documents of any Person, this Agreement shall govern as among the parties hereto. Each of the parties hereto shall exercise all voting and other rights and powers available to it so as to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and, if necessary, to procure (so far as it is able to do so) any required amendment to the Company’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents, in order to cure any such inconsistency.

Section 7.2. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and that, in the event of breach by any party, damages would not be an adequate remedy and each of the other parties shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. The parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief.

Section 7.3. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws.

Section 7.4. Submissions to Jurisdictions; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably acknowledges and consents that any legal action or proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to and accepts with regard to any such action or proceeding, for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware). Each party hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court

 

34


of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) lacks jurisdiction over such party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby brought in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such party.

(b) Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any legal action or proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party, at its address for notices as provided in Section 7.12 of this Agreement, such service to become effective ten (10) days after such mailing. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other documents contemplated hereby, that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Subject to Section 7.4(c), the foregoing shall not limit the rights of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. The foregoing consents to jurisdiction shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware for any purpose except as provided above and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the respective parties to this Agreement.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right it may have under the laws of any jurisdiction to commence by publication any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations under or relating to this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives the objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) is not a convenient forum for any such suit, action or proceeding.

(d) The parties hereto agree that any judgment obtained by any party hereto or its successors or assigns in any action, suit or proceeding referred to above may, in the discretion of such party (or its successors or assigns), be enforced in any jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(e) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH

 

35


OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.4(e).

Section 7.5. Obligations. All obligations hereunder shall be satisfied in full without set-off, defense or counterclaim.

Section 7.6. Consents, Approvals and Actions.

(a) MD Stockholders. All actions required to be taken by, or approvals or consents of, the MD Stockholders under this Agreement shall be taken by consent or approval by, or agreement of, MD or his permitted assignee; provided, that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Disabling Event, such approval or consent shall be taken by consent or approval by, or agreement of, the holders of a majority of the DTI Securities held by the MD Stockholders, and in each case, such consent, approval or agreement shall constitute the necessary action, approval or consent by the MD Stockholders.

(b) SLP Stockholders. All actions required to be taken by, or approvals or consents of, the SLP Stockholders under this Agreement shall be taken by consent or approval by, or agreement of, the holders of a majority of the DTI Securities held by the SLP Stockholders, and such consent, approval or agreement shall constitute the necessary action, approval or consent by the SLP Stockholders.

Section 7.7. Amendment; Waiver.

(a) Except as set forth below, any amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall require the prior written approval of the Company; provided, that (i) if any such amendment or modification adversely affects the MD Stockholders, it shall require the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the DTI Securities held by the MD Stockholders in the aggregate, (ii) if any such amendment or modification adversely affects the SLP Stockholders, it shall require the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the DTI Securities held by the SLP Stockholders in the aggregate and (iii) if the express terms of any such amendment or modification disproportionately and materially adversely affects a Management Stockholder relative to the MD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders or any other Management Stockholder, it shall require the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the DTI Securities held by such affected Management Stockholders in the aggregate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the foregoing proviso shall not apply, in the case of Management Stockholders, with respect to amendments or modifications that do not apply to Management Stockholders, and (ii) neither the entry into any employment, severance, change of control, consulting, option grant or award or other similar agreement between the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and an Applicable Employee of a Management Stockholder, on the other hand, the amendment, supplement or modification thereof, nor the waiver or consent of any provision or term herein or therein with respect to any Management Stockholder, shall constitute an amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement,

 

36


(iii) any addition of a transferee of DTI Securities or a recipient of DTI Securities as a party hereto pursuant to Article VI shall not constitute an amendment or modification hereto and the applicable Joinder Agreement need be signed only by the Company and such transferee or recipient and (iv) the Company shall promptly amend the books and records of the Company appropriately as and to the extent necessary to reflect the removal or addition of a Management Stockholder, any changes in the amount and/or type of DTI Securities beneficially owned by each Management Stockholder and/or the addition of a transferee of DTI Securities or a recipient of any DTI Securities, in each case, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Any failure by the Company, the MD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed a waiver of such provision or any other provisions hereof. The waiver by the Company, the MD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of the Company, the MD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by the Company, the MD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 7.8. Assignment of Rights By Management Stockholders. No Management Stockholder may assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement except with the prior consent of the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders. Any purported assignment of rights or obligations under this Agreement in derogation of this Section 7.8 shall be null and void.

Section 7.9. Binding Effect. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties’ successors and permitted assigns.

Section 7.10. Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 7.13 (which will be for the benefit of the Persons set forth therein, and any such Person will have the rights provided for therein), this Agreement does not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any Person that is not a party hereto, and it does not create or establish any third party beneficiary hereto.

Section 7.11. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate only (i) by written consent of the MD Stockholders (for so long as the MD Stockholders own DTI Securities), the SLP Stockholders (for so long as the SLP Stockholders own DTI Securities) and the holders of a majority of the DTI Securities held by all of the Management Stockholders or (ii) upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.
