2.3. Tag-Along Rights.

(a) So long as this Agreement remains in effect, with respect to any proposed Transfer by the AEA Investors of shares of Company Common Stock to any Person or Persons other than an Affiliate of AEA or another Original AEA Investor (other than in an IPO, which shall be subject to the Registration Rights Agreement contemplated in Article III hereof), whether pursuant to a stock sale, merger, consolidation, a tender or exchange offer or any other transaction that, combined with all prior Transfers by the AEA Investors, exceeds the applicable Threshold Amount (any such transaction, an “AEA Sale”), the AEA Investors will have the

obligation, and each of the Minority Investors will have the right, to require the proposed transferee or acquiring Person (a “Proposed Transferee”) to purchase from each of the Minority Investors who exercises its rights under Section 2.3(b) (a “Tagging Stockholder”), a number of shares of Company Common Stock up to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole number) of (i) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock owned by such Tagging Stockholder by (B) the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be Transferred to the Proposed Transferee by the AEA Investors in the contemplated AEA Sale, at the same price per share and upon substantially the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, time of payment and form of consideration) as to be paid by and given to the AEA Investors. In order to be entitled to exercise its right to sell shares of Company Common Stock to the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 2.3, each Tagging Stockholder must agree to make to the Proposed Transferee the same covenants, indemnities (with respect to all matters other than the AEA Investors’ or other Tagging Stockholders’ ownership of Company Common Stock) and agreements as the AEA Investors agree to make in connection with the AEA Sale and only such representations and warranties (and related indemnification) as to its ownership of its Company Common Stock as are given by the AEA Investors with respect to their respective ownership of Company Common Stock; provided, however, that all such covenants, indemnities and agreements shall be made by the Tagging Stockholders severally and not jointly and that the liabilities thereunder (other than with respect to the ownership of each Stockholder’s shares being transferred, which shall be several obligations) shall be borne on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares Transferred by each of the AEA Investors and the Tagging Stockholders and are limited to the lesser of (X) the net proceeds actually received by such Tagging Stockholder for such Transferred shares and (Y) such Tagging Stockholder’s pro rata share of any “cap” on indemnification obligations of the Stockholders selling shares of Company Common Stock in the AEA Sale. Each Tagging Stockholder will be responsible for its proportionate share of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the AEA Investors in connection with the AEA Sale, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Proposed Transferee.

(b) The AEA Investors will give notice to each Minority Investor of each proposed AEA Sale at least ten (10) Business days prior to the proposed consummation of such AEA Sale, setting forth the number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be so Transferred, 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, the AEA Investors will provide such information, to the extent reasonably available to the AEA Investors, relating to such consideration as the Minority Investor may reasonably request in order to evaluate such non-cash consideration) and other terms and conditions of payment offered by the Proposed Transferee. The tag-along rights provided by this Section 2.3 must be exercised by each Minority Investor within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the notice required by the preceding sentence by delivery of an irrevocable written notice to the AEA Investors (with a copy to the Company) indicating such Minority Investor’s exercise of its, her or his rights and specifying the maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock it, she or he desires to sell. Each Tagging Stockholder will be entitled under this Section 2.3 to Transfer to the Proposed Transferee the number of shares of Company Common Stock determined in accordance with Section 2.3(a).

(c) If any Tagging Stockholder exercises its, her or his rights under Section 2.3(a), the closing of the purchase of the Company Common Stock with respect to which such rights have been exercised is subject to, and will take place concurrently with, the closing of the AEA Sale. If the closing of the AEA Sale does not occur within ninety (90) days after the Minority Investors’ receipt of written notice of such AEA Sale pursuant to Section 2.3(b), such AEA Sale may not be consummated without the AEA Investors again fully complying with the requirements of this Section 2.3.

(d) The requirements of this Section 2.3 shall not apply to (i) Transfers by any AEA Investor to any Affiliate of any AEA Investor or any director or officer of the Company or (ii) any Transfer of Company Common Stock required to be made by a Stockholder pursuant to the Drag-Along rights set forth in Section 2.4 hereof. The requirements of this Section 2.3 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other restrictions on Transfers of Company Common Stock contained in this Agreement.

(e) If a Minority Investor exercises its rights as a Tagging Stockholder under this Section 2.3, such Minority Investor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure any governmental authorization required to be obtained by such Minority Investor and shall provide any information which may be needed from such Minority Investor in connection therewith, to comply as soon as reasonably practicable with all applicable Laws and to take all such other actions and to execute such additional documents as are necessary or appropriate in order to consummate the AEA Sale.

2.4. Drag Along Rights.

(a) So long as the AEA Investors hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the Company Common Stock held by the AEA Investors on the date hereof, if the AEA Investors (the “Dragging Parties”) receive a bona fide offer from a Person other than a Stockholder or an Affiliate of a Stockholder (a “Third Party”) to purchase (other than in an IPO) at least 90% of the shares of Company Common Stock held, in the aggregate, by the AEA Investors (a “Third Party Offer”) and such Third Party Offer is accepted by the Dragging Parties, then each of the other Stockholders hereby agrees that, if requested by the Dragging Parties, it will Transfer to such Third Party on substantially the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, time of payment and form of consideration) as to be paid and given to the Dragging Parties, the number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by it multiplied by the percentage of the then outstanding aggregate shares of Company Common Stock to which the Third Party Offer is applicable.

(b) The Dragging Parties will give notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) to each of the other Stockholders of any proposed Transfer giving rise to the rights of the Dragging Parties set forth in Section 2.4(a) as soon as reasonably practicable following the acceptance of the offer referred to in Section 2.4(a). The Drag-Along Notice will set forth the number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be so Transferred, the name of the Proposed Transferee or acquiring Person, the proposed amount and form of consideration (and if such consideration consists in part or in whole of property other than cash, the Dragging Parties will provide such information, to the extent reasonably available to the Dragging Parties, relating to

such consideration as the other Stockholders may reasonably request in order to evaluate such non-cash consideration), the number of shares of Company Common Stock sought and the other terms and conditions of the offer. The Dragging Parties will notify the other Stockholders at least ten (10) Business days in advance of the closing of the sale of shares to the Third Party. In any such agreement, such other Stockholders will be required (i) to make or agree to the same covenants, indemnities (with respect to all matters other than the Dragging Parties’ or other Stockholders’ ownership of Company Common Stock) and agreements as the Dragging Parties so long as such covenants, indemnities and agreements are made severally and not jointly and the liabilities thereunder (other than with respect to the ownership of each Stockholder’s shares being transferred, which shall be several obligations) are borne on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares Transferred by each Stockholder and are limited to the lesser of (A) the net proceeds actually received by such Stockholder for such Transferred shares and (B) such Stockholder’s pro rata share of any “cap” on indemnification obligations of the Stockholders selling shares of Company Common Stock in the sale to the Third Party, (ii) to make representations and warranties (and provide related indemnification) only as to their respective ownership of Company Common Stock as are given by the Dragging Parties with respect to such party’s ownership of Company Common Stock, (iii) otherwise take all necessary action, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, expressly waiving any dissenter’s rights or rights of appraisal or similar rights, surrendering certificates, cooperating in obtaining any applicable governmental authorization(s) and otherwise as reasonably required to assist the Dragging Parties in the consummation of such Third Party Offer and (iv) to pay their proportionate share of the reasonable costs incurred for the benefit of all Stockholders in connection with such transaction to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the transferee or acquiring Person. If the Transfer referred to in the Drag-Along Notice is not consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of the Drag-Along Notice, the Dragging Parties must deliver another Drag-Along Notice in order to exercise their rights under this Section 2.4 with respect to such Transfer or any other Transfer.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon receipt of the Drag-Along Notice, each other Stockholder shall be obligated to vote his, her or its shares of Company Common Stock, if applicable, in favor of such Third Party Offer at any meeting of holders of Company Common Stock called to vote on or approve such Third Party Offer (or any written consent solicited for such purpose). Solely for purposes of this Section 2.4(c) and in order to secure the performance of each Stockholder’s obligations under this Section 2.4(c), each Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints each other Stockholder that qualifies as a Drag-Along Proxy Holder (as defined below) the attorney-in-fact and proxy of such Stockholder (with full power of substitution) to vote or provide a written consent with respect to its Company Common Stock as described in this paragraph if, and only in the event that, such Stockholder fails to vote or provide a written consent with respect to his, her or its Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.4(c) (each such Stockholder, a “Breaching Drag-Along Stockholder”) within three days of a request for such vote or written consent. Upon such failure, the Dragging Parties shall have and are hereby irrevocably granted a proxy to vote or provide a written consent with respect to each such Breaching Drag-Along Stockholder’s Company Common Stock for the purposes of taking the actions required by this Section 2.4(c) (such Dragging Parties, a “Drag-Along Proxy Holder”). Each Stockholder intends this proxy to be, and it shall be, irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and each Stockholder will take such

further action and execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and hereby revoke any proxy previously granted by it with respect to the matters set forth in Section 2.4(c) with respect to the Company Common Stock owned by such Stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conditional proxy granted by this Section 2.4(c) shall be deemed to be revoked upon the termination of this Section 2.4 in accordance with this Agreement.

(d) If a Minority Investor is required to Transfer any of its shares in accordance with this Section 2.4, such Minority Investor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure any governmental authorization required to be obtained by such Minority Investor and shall provide any information which may be needed from such Minority Investor in connection therewith, to comply as soon as reasonably practicable with all applicable Laws and to take all such other actions and to execute such additional documents as are necessary or appropriate in order to consummate the Third Party Offer.

2.5. Participation Right.

(a) The Company shall not issue (an “Issuance”) additional shares of Company Common Stock or other Equity Securities to any Person (other than (i) shares or other securities issued upon the exchange, exercise or conversion of options, warrants, convertible stock, rights, calls or other securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into such class of shares or other securities in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) shares or other securities issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or other similar recapitalization of the Company, (iii) shares or other securities issued by the Company pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation, partnership or other business or entity or a material portion of the assets thereof, by merger, purchase of assets or otherwise pursuant to a plan, agreement or other arrangement approved by the Board; provided, however, that if such corporation, partnership or other business or entity is an Affiliate of the Company or the AEA Investors, such acquisition is made on an arms-length basis as determined by the Board in good faith, (iv) shares or other securities issued to employees, officers or directors of the Company; provided, however, that such Issuances are approved by the Board or a committee thereof or (v) shares or other securities issued in connection with an IPO), unless, prior to such Issuance, the Company notifies each Stockholder party hereto in writing (the “Offer Notice”) of the proposed Issuance and grants to each such Stockholder or, at such Stockholder’s election, one of its Affiliates the right (the “Right”) to subscribe for and purchase such additional shares of Company Common Stock or units of other Equity Securities to be issued in the proposed Issuance at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions (including, in the event such securities are issued as a unit together with other securities, the purchase of such other securities) to be issued in the proposed Issuance such that, immediately after giving effect to the Issuance and exercise of the Right (including, for purposes of this calculation, the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any other Equity Securities issued in the Issuance or subject to the Right), the shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by such Stockholder and its Affiliates on a fully diluted basis (rounded to the nearest whole share) shall represent the same percentage of the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis as were beneficially owned by such Stockholder and its Affiliates immediately prior to the Issuance.

(b) The Right may be exercised by each Stockholder party hereto or its Affiliates at any time by written notice to the Company received by the Company within 15 Business Days after receipt of the Offer Notice from the Company of the proposed Issuance, and the closing of the purchase and sale pursuant to the exercise of the right shall occur at least 30 days after the giving of the Offer Notice of the proposed Issuance by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Right shall not apply to any Issuance, pro rata, to all holders of Company Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Minority Investor shall be permitted to assign its Right to another Minority Investor.

(c) If all Equity Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased by the Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.6(b), the Company may, during the 90 day period following the expiration of the 15 Business Day period described in Section 2.6(b), offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such Equity Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of such remaining Equity Securities within such period, the Company must deliver another Offer Notice to the Stockholders and re-comply with the provisions of this Section 2.6 prior to any issuance of Equity Securities.

(d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2.5, if the Board reasonably determines that there is a need of the Company to issue securities of the Company that would otherwise be required to be offered to the Stockholders to exercise the Right under this Section 2.5 prior to such Issuance, the Company may issue such securities without first complying with this Section 2.5; provided, however, that within thirty (30) days after such Issuance, the Company offers each Stockholder the opportunity to purchase such number of securities that such Stockholder would have been entitled to purchase pursuant to the Right of Section 2.5 by sending written notice to the Stockholders. In the event of an offer made by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.5(d), the timing and procedures for the exercise and consummation of such offer shall be the same as those set forth in Section 2.5(b), with appropriate modifications to reflect the post-issuance delivery of the Offer Notice as contemplated in this Section 2.5(d).

III. REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

Each of the Company, the AEA Investors, and the Minority Investors shall enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified and supplemented from time to time) (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

IV. PURCHASE OF MINORITY SHARES UPON TERMINATION DATE

4.1. Purchase of Minority Shares from Management Investors Upon Termination of Employment.

(a) (i) Subject to provisions to the contrary contained in any written employment agreement of a Management Investor authorized by the Board, if the employment with the Company and all applicable subsidiaries of any Management Investor (or any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who transferred such employee’s Minority Shares to a Permitted Transferee) shall terminate for any reason whatsoever, including death,

Disability, resignation, or termination with or without Cause (the date on which such termination occurs being referred to as the “Termination Date”), then the Company shall have the option (the “Call Option”) to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the Minority Shares held by such Management Investor (or by any Minority Investor who acquired such shares as a Permitted Transferee from an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries), at the price and on the other terms specified in Section 4.2. The Company may exercise the Call Option by delivery of written notice to the Minority Investor (the “Call Notice”) within ninety (90) days following the Termination Date or within three hundred sixty five (365) days if termination is because of death or Disability, provided, that, with respect to Minority Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of any vested stock option then held by the Management Investor, the Company may exercise the Call Option within two hundred ten (210) days of the later of the Termination Date or the last date on which the Management Investor could have exercised any stock option, or within three hundred sixty five (365) days if termination is because of death or Disability (the “Call Period”).

(ii) If for any reason the Company does not elect to purchase all of Minority Shares pursuant to the Call Option, then the Company may elect to permit each Significant Stockholder to exercise the Company’s Call Option in the manner set forth in the preceding paragraph (a) for all, but not less than all, of the Minority Shares. As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that it will not purchase the Minority Shares, but in any event within the Call Period, the Company shall be permitted to deliver written notice (the “Option Notice”) to each Significant Stockholder setting forth the number of Minority Shares and the price for each Minority Share. Each Significant Stockholder may then elect to purchase all of the Minority Shares by delivering written notice to the Company within ten (10) days after receipt of the Option Notice by such Significant Stockholder. As soon as practicable, and in any event within five (5) days after the expiration of such ten (10) day period, the Company shall notify the holder(s) of Minority Shares that such Minority Shares are being purchased from such holder by such Significant Stockholder. If more than one Significant Stockholder elects to exercise such purchase option with respect to Minority Shares not purchased by the Company, such electing Persons shall be entitled to purchase such Minority Shares pro rata on the basis of their ownership of Company Common Stock or in such proportion as they may agree between or among themselves, provided, in any event, such Significant Stockholders purchase all of the Minority Shares.

(b) Settlement of the purchase of Minority Shares pursuant to this Section 4.1 will occur at the Company’s principal office on a Business Day to be fixed by the Company within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Call Period. At the time of the settlement, (i) the purchaser or purchasers shall pay the purchase price in the manner specified in Section 4.2, (ii) the holders of the Minority Shares being purchased shall deliver the certificate or certificates representing such shares to the purchaser or purchasers or their nominees, endorsed in blank, or accompanied by appropriate stock powers executed in blank, together with funds for any required stock transfer taxes, and (iii) the transferor shall represent in writing to the transferee (and to the Company, if the Company is not the transferee) that such Minority Shares are owned of record and beneficially by such transferor, free and clear of all liens, security interests, claims,

restrictions and encumbrances of any kind other than those contained in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or arising under applicable federal and state securities laws.

(c) Each Management Investor acknowledges that the Minority Shares which the Company or a Significant Stockholder may elect to purchase include all Minority Shares issued upon exercise of any stock option (regardless of whether such option is exercised before or after the Termination Date).

4.2. Purchase Price for Minority Shares. The purchase price per share to be paid for any Minority Shares purchased by the Company or a Significant Stockholder pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be equal to:

(i) if the termination of employment giving rise to the Call Option arose (x) out of a termination for Cause or (y) (A) in the case of an employee not bound by a written non-competition obligation in favor of the Company or any or its subsidiaries, because such employee left the Company or any of its subsidiaries to serve as an employee, officer or director of or consultant to or owner of a business engaged in any activity which the Company determines is in competition with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (B) in the case of any employee who is bound by a separate written non-competition obligation in favor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, because such employee breached its obligations thereunder after the Termination Date (giving effect to applicable notice and cure periods), the lesser of (1) the cost incurred by or the exchange of value received by the terminated Management Investor (or the employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who transferred such Minority Shares to such Minority Investor) in connection with the purchase of the Minority Shares being repurchased (it being agreed that in the case of shares acquired upon the exercise of options to purchase Company Common Stock, the cost incurred shall be deemed to be the exercise price) and (2) the Fair Market Value of the Minority Shares being purchased as of the date of repurchase; and

(ii) if the termination of employment giving rise to the Call Option arose for any other reason, the greater of (x) Fair Market Value of the Minority Shares being purchased as of the date of repurchase, or (y) the cost incurred by or the exchange value received by the terminated Management Investor (or the employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who transferred such Minority Shares to such Minority Investor) in connection with the purchase of the Minority Shares being repurchased (it being agreed that in the case of shares acquired upon the exercise of options to purchase Company Common Stock, the cost incurred shall be deemed to be the exercise price).

Such purchase price may be paid (a) in the case of a purchase by the Company, at the option of the Management Investor, either in cash at the closing contemplated by Section 4.1(b) or, to the extent the Company’s credit agreements do not permit such cash payment, by delivery of a duly authorized subordinated promissory note having the terms described in the next sentence and otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Management Investor, or (b) in the case of a purchase by a Significant Stockholder, in cash at the closing contemplated by Section 4.1(b). Any subordinated promissory note issued by the Company in payment of such purchase price shall (x) provide that the full principal amount and all accrued

but unpaid interest thereof shall be payable on the first anniversary of the date thereof, provided, that if such payment is then prohibited, such amount shall be paid at the earliest date permitted (y) bear interest at the rate publically announced by Credit Suisse as their respective prime commercial lending rate, payable in kind semiannually, and (z) be subordinated on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to any holders of senior indebtedness (other than Affiliates of the Company or the AEA Investors) for borrowed money of the Company and its subsidiaries.

V. CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS

5.1. Certain Transactions. The parties hereto agree to the execution, delivery and performance of the Management Agreement by the Company.

5.2. Mergers, Etc. Without limiting the rights of the Minority Investors under Section 5.5, if the Board and the Stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock approve (a) any merger, consolidation, amalgamation or other business combination involving the Company, (b) any acquisition by purchase or otherwise of all or a material portion of the business or assets of, or stock or other evidences of beneficial ownership of, any Person, or (c) the sale of all of the business or assets of, or substantially all of the assets of, the Company, in each case, to the extent and only to the extent such transaction involves a Third Party, then each Stockholder agrees to vote or cause to be voted all of its shares of Company Common Stock in favor of such transaction and agrees not to exercise any appraisal or dissenters’ rights available under any rule, regulation, statute, agreement, the certificate of incorporation, the by-laws or otherwise. The obligations of each Stockholder with respect to any transaction subject to this Section 5.2 shall be conditioned on (x) the same terms in such transaction applying to such Stockholder as apply to all other Stockholders, and (y) the requirements of the last sentence of Section 2.4(b) being satisfied as if such transaction were subject to the requirements thereof.

5.3. Board of Directors; Books and Records.

(a) The Stockholders and the Company hereby agree that, at all times until an IPO, the Board shall consist entirely of any number of individuals designated by the AEA Investors; provided that, for so long as the GMS Founder Group owns in the aggregate any shares of Company Common Stock, then the GMS Founder Group (acting by a majority of the shares of Company Common Stock then held, in the aggregate, by the members thereof) shall have the right to designate one individual to the Board, which designee shall initially be Richard Mueller, or such other person as is reasonably acceptable to AEA and provided, further, without limiting the rights of the GMS Founder Group, that for so long as AEA Investors Fund V LP, AEA Investors Fund V-A LP or AEA Investors Fund V-B LP (each a “VCOC Fund”), directly or indirectly through any other entity owns any shares of Company Common Stock, such VCOC Fund shall have the right to designate at least one of the individuals that the AEA Investors are entitled to designate for election to the Board of Directors. The Stockholders and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to cause such individuals to be elected or re-elected as the members of the Board and to be maintained in such positions at all such times.

(b) Following an IPO, for so long as the AEA Investors in the aggregate own at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the AEA Investors shall at all times be entitled to nominate at least one individual for election to the Board. The Company hereby agrees that, at all times after the IPO, at and in connection with each annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company at which directors of the Company are to be elected, the Company, the Board and the nominating committee thereof will (A) nominate and recommend to stockholders for election or re-election as part of the management slate of directors each such individual and (B) provide the same type of support for the election of each such individual as a director of the Company as provided by the Company, its directors, its management and its controlled Affiliates to other persons standing for election as directors of the Company as part of the management slate. Each Stockholder hereby agrees that, at all times after the IPO, such Stockholder will, and will cause each of its Affiliates to, vote all shares of Company Common Stock owned or held of record by it, at each annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company at which directors of the Company are to be elected, in favor of the election or reelection as a member of the Board of one individual nominated by the AEA Investors.

(c) For so long as the AEA Investors shall have the right to designate a member of the Board pursuant to this Section 5.3, the AEA Investors shall be furnished full and complete access to the files and records regarding the business of the Company including, without limitation, monthly statements of profit and loss and any other periodic management reports.

(d) For so long as an Additional Investor owns any shares of Company Common Stock, the Company shall (i) permit such Additional Investor, upon its reasonable request and reasonable advance notice to have reasonable access during normal business hours to the files and records regarding the Business; provided, however, that each Additional Investor acknowledges and agrees that no access granted hereunder shall unreasonably interfere with the business operations of the Business, and (ii) provide to each Additional Investor and each Management Investor (A) unaudited monthly reports and unaudited quarterly and audited annual financial statements regarding its financial operations within five (5) Business Days following the date upon which the AEA Investors receive such reports or financial statements, as applicable, and (B) any additional information the Company is required to deliver the lending agent pursuant to the credit agreement that GYP III will execute in connection with the acquisition of GMS (the “Credit Agreement”) within five (5) Business Days following the date upon which the Company has delivered such information to such lending agent under the Credit Agreement.

5.4. Corporate Opportunities.

(a) In recognition and anticipation of the facts that (i) the directors, officers and/or employees of each AEA Investor or its Affiliates may serve as directors and/or officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and (ii) each AEA Investor and its Affiliates engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage, the provisions of this Section 5.4 are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs

of the Company as they may involve the AEA Investors, their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Company and its officers, directors, Affiliates and Stockholders in connection therewith.

(b) No AEA Investor, any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors or employees shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company. The Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both an AEA Investor or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors or employees and the Company, and therefore no AEA Investor, any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors or employees shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to communicate or offer such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the Company or its Stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director and/or officer of the Company solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company.

(c) To the extent a court might hold that the conduct of any activity related to a corporate opportunity that is renounced in this Section 5.4 to be a breach of duty to the Company or its Stockholders, the Company and its Stockholders hereby waive any and all claims and causes of action that the Company or the Stockholders may have for such activities to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section 5.4 apply equally to activities conducted in the future and that have been conducted in the past.

5.5. Management Investors Limited Consent. Except as set forth below, prior to an IPO, (a) any transaction or arrangement between the Company or any of its controlled Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of the AEA Investors or their respective Affiliates (excluding the Company and its subsidiaries), on the other hand (including an amendment to or modification of the Management Agreement), and (b) any action by the Company that would materially and adversely affect the rights and privileges of the Management Investors as compared to the other Stockholders, shall be subject to the prior consent of Management Investors representing a majority of all shares of Company Common Stock then-held by all Management Investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent shall be required under this Section 5.5 in respect of any matter contemplated by clause (a) above that is entered into on arm’s length terms as determined by the Board in good faith, or that is a transaction or arrangement with the Stockholders in which the Management Investors receive pro rata treatment.

5.6. Capitalization. The Company represents and warrants to each Stockholder that it (a) has validly issued the Company Common Stock in the amounts and to the Stockholders set forth on Schedule A as of the date hereof, (b) such Company Common Stock is only Company Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof, and (c) except as set forth on Schedule A, there are no Equity Securities outstanding on the date hereof.

This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified only by a written instrument executed by the Company and the holders of a majority of the shares of Company Common Stock; provided, however, that any amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement which disproportionately adversely affects any

No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the party so waiving. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party, will be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any covenants or agreements contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

6.7. Third Parties. This Agreement does not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any person that is not a party hereto nor create or establish any third party beneficiary hereto.
