(d)  Each Stockholder shall as promptly as practicable provide the Stockholders with written notice of any Transfer made in accordance with Section 3.2(a) or (b).

SECTION 3.3.   Right of First Offer.  Following the fifth anniversary of the Stock Purchase Closing Date, so long as the Company has not completed an IPO, no Stockholder shall Transfer any of its Equity Securities other than to a Permitted Transferee or a sale by a Co-Sale Participant pursuant to Section 3.4 except as set forth below:

(a)  Prior to any Transfer of Equity Securities by a Stockholder (the “Offering Holder”), the Offering Holder shall deliver to the Company and each other Stockholder that is not an Affiliate of the Offering Holder (collectively, excluding the Company, the “ROFO Recipients”) written notice (the “Offer Notice”), stating such Offer Holder’s intention to effect such a Transfer, the number of Equity Securities subject to such Transfer (the “Offered Securities”), the price the Offering Holder proposes to be paid for the Offered Securities (the “First Offer Price”), and the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer.  The Offer Notice may require that the consummation of any sale of the Offered Securities to the Company or the ROFO Recipients occur on a date that is no less than 30 days, and no later than 60 days after the date of the Offer Notice (or, if FCC approval or consent is required in connection with the proposed Transfer, no later than the earlier of 30 days after such approval or consent has been obtained and six months after the date of the Offer Notice).

(b)  Upon receipt of the Offer Notice, the Company will have an irrevocable non-transferable option to purchase all or a portion of the Offered Securities at the First Offer Price and otherwise on the terms and conditions described in the Offer Notice (the “First Offer”).  The Company shall, within 15 days from receipt of the Offer Notice, indicate whether or not it has accepted the First Offer by sending irrevocable written notice of any such acceptance to the Offering Holder and the ROFO Recipients indicating the number of Offered Shares to be purchased (the “Acceptance Notice”), and the Company shall then be obligated to purchase such number of Offered Securities on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice.  In the event the Company elects not to purchase any or all of the Offered Securities, the ROFO Recipients shall have the option to purchase at the First Offer Price all, but not less than all, of the Offered Securities with respect to which the Company has not exercised its option, and each of the ROFO Recipients shall, within 15 days from receipt of the Company’s Acceptance Notice, indicate to the Offering Holder and the Company if it has accepted the First Offer and, if so, the number of Offered Securities to be purchased by sending irrevocable written notice of such acceptance to the Offering Holder and the Company, and such ROFO Recipient shall then be

18

obligated to purchase such number of Offered Securities on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice.

(c)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.3, the ROFO Recipients shall not be permitted to purchase less than all of the Offered Securities without the consent of the Offering Holder.  The number of shares that each ROFO Recipient shall be entitled to purchase upon the exercise of the right of first offer shall be equal to such ROFO Recipient’s Pro Rata Portion of the Offered Securities other than those as to which the Company has exercised its option.  In the event any ROFO Recipient elects to purchase less than all of its Pro Rata Portion (such remaining securities, the “Section 3.3 Non-Electing Shares), the Company shall notify the other ROFO Recipients as to the aggregate number of Section 3.3 Non-Electing Shares, and each such other ROFO Recipient shall be entitled to purchase its Pro Rata Portion of the Section 3.3 Non-Electing Shares by providing written notice that such ROFO Recipient has elected to purchase all (but not less than all) of its Pro Rata Portion of the Section 3.3 Non-Electing Shares within 5 days of receipt of such notice, and such ROFO Recipient shall then be obligated to purchase such ROFO Recipient’s Pro Rata Portion of the Section 3.3 Non-Electing Shares; provided, however, that for the purposes of this Section 3.3(c), in computing a ROFO Recipient’s Pro Rata Portion of the Section 3.3 Non-Electing Shares, the ROFO Recipient that failed to elect to purchase such Section 3.3 Non-Electing Shares shall not be considered to hold  any shares of Common Stock.

(d)  If neither the Company nor the ROFO Recipients (in the aggregate) elect to purchase all of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Section 3.3, then the applicable Offering Holder shall be free for a period of six months from the date acceptance notices from the ROFO Recipients were due to be received by the applicable Offering Holder to enter into definitive agreements to Transfer the Offered Securities as to which such options are not exercised to a Transferee for consideration having a value not less than 90% of the First Offer Price and to transfer the Offered Securities pursuant to such definitive agreements; provided that any such definitive agreement provides for the consummation of such Transfer to take place within six months (or in the absence of FCC approval at the end of such six months, nine months) from the date of such definitive agreement and is otherwise on terms not more favorable to the transferee in any material respect than were contained in the Offer Notice.

(e)  If neither the Company nor the ROFO Recipients (in the aggregate) exercise their respective options to purchase all of the Offered Securities at the First Offer Price and the applicable Offering Holder has not entered into a definitive agreement described in Section 3.3(d) within six months from the date acceptance notices from the ROFO Recipients were due to be received by the applicable Offering Holder, or the Offering Holder has entered into such an agreement but has not consummated the sale of such securities within six months (or in the absence of FCC approval at the end of such six months, nine months) from the date of such definitive agreement, then the provisions of this Section 3.3 shall again apply, and such Offering Holder shall not Transfer or offer to Transfer such Equity Securities without again complying with this Section 3.3.

(f)  Upon exercise by the Company and/or the ROFO Recipients, as the case may be, of their respective rights of first offer under this Section 3.3, the Company and/or the ROFO Recipients, as the case may be, and the applicable Offering Holder shall be legally obligated to

19

consummate the purchase contemplated thereby and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to secure any governmental authorization required, 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 reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection therewith and to consummate the purchase of the Offered Securities as promptly as practicable.

SECTION 3.4.   Right of Co-Sale on Transfers by Stockholders.  (a)  In the event of a proposed Transfer of Equity Securities by a Stockholder or any of its Affiliates (a “Transferring Stockholder”), each Stockholder (other than the Transferring Stockholder) shall have the right to participate in the Transfer in the manner set forth in this Section 3.4.  Prior to any such Transfer, the Transferring Stockholder shall deliver to the Company prompt written notice (the “Transfer Notice”), which the Company will forward to the Stockholders and each Affiliate of such Stockholders that has been Transferred Equity Securities (other than the Transferring Stockholder, the “Co-Sale Participants”), which notice shall state (i) the name of the proposed Transferee, (ii) the number of Equity Securities proposed to be Transferred (the “Transferred Securities”), (iii) the proposed purchase price therefor, including a description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit the determination of the Fair Market Value thereof, and (iv) the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, including the proposed Transfer date (which date may not be less than thirty-five (35) days after delivery of the Transfer Notice).  Such notice shall be accompanied by a written offer from the proposed Transferee to purchase the Transferred Securities.  Each Co-Sale Participant may Transfer to the proposed Transferee identified in the Transfer Notice their Pro Rata Portion of the Transferred Securities by giving written notice to the Company (who shall forward such notice to the other Co-Sale Participants within five (5) days) and to the Transferring Stockholder within the thirty (30) day period after the delivery of the Transfer Notice, which notice shall state that such Co-Sale Participant elects to exercise its rights of co-sale under this Section 3.4 and shall state the maximum number of shares sought to be Transferred.  In the event any such Co-Sale Participant elects to exercise its co-sale rights with respect to less than all of its Pro Rata Portion (such remaining securities, the “Section 3.4 Non-Electing Shares”), each such other Co-Sale Participant shall be entitled to sell its Pro Rata Portion of the Section 3.4 Non-Electing Shares.  Each Co-Sale Participant shall be deemed to have waived its right of co-sale hereunder if it either fails to give notice within the prescribed time period or if such Co-Sale Participant purchases Equity Securities in exercising its right of first offer pursuant to Section 3.3.  The proposed Transferee of Transferred Securities will not be obligated to purchase a number of Equity Securities exceeding that set forth in the Transfer Notice and in the event such Transferee elects to purchase less than all of the additional Equity Securities sought to be Transferred by the Co-Sale Participants, the number of Equity Securities to be Transferred by the Transferring Stockholder and each such Co-Sale Participant shall be reduced on a pro rata basis.  If, following the exercise of the co-sale rights provided for in this Section 3.4, the proposed Transferee purchases a number a Equity Securities greater than the number of Equity Securities proposed to be purchased in the Transfer Notice, each Co-Sale Participant shall have the right to sell to the proposed Transferee such Sale Participant’s Pro Rata Portion of such additional Equity Securities.

(b)  Each Co-Sale Participant, in exercising its right of co-sale hereunder, may participate in the Transfer by delivering to the Transferring Stockholder at the closing of the Transfer of the Transferring Stockholder’s Transferred Securities to the Transferee certificates

20

representing the Transferred Securities to be Transferred by such holder, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by stock powers duly executed, in either case executed in blank or in favor of the applicable purchaser against payment of the aggregate purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(c)  The following Transfers of Equity Securities by any Stockholder or its Affiliates shall not be subject to the co-sale rights provided by this Section 3.4:  (A) Transfers to Permitted Transferees of such Stockholder (or Permitted Transferees of such Permitted Transferees), (B) prior to fifth anniversary of the Stock Purchase Closing Date and following an IPO, Transfers pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and (c) Transfers following the fifth anniversary of the Stock Purchase Closing Date, if the Company has previously consummated an IPO or Transfers following an IPO consummated thereafter.

SECTION 3.5.   Drag Along Right.  (a)  If one or more Stockholders desire to Transfer at least 50.01% of the Voting Securities of the Company and, solely for so long as Section 2.3(c)(xiii) requires such approval, such Transfer has been approved by the Required Directors pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(xiii), then if requested by the Stockholder(s) Transferring such Voting Securities (the “Section 3.5 Transferring Stockholder(s)”), such other Stockholder (together with its Affiliates) (a “Selling Stockholder”) shall be required to sell all of the Equity Securities held by it (it being understood that the termination of the rights of any Stockholder under Section 2.3 shall not affect the obligations of such Stockholder under this Section 3.5).

(b)  The consideration to be received by a Selling Stockholder shall be the same form and amount of consideration per share to be received by the Section 3.5 Transferring Stockholder(s), and the terms and conditions of such sale shall be the same as those upon which the Section 3.5 Transferring Stockholder(s) sells its Equity Securities.  In connection with the transaction contemplated by Section 3.5(a) (the “Drag Transaction”), the Selling Stockholder will agree to make or agree to the same customary representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Section 3.5 Transferring Stockholder(s) so long as they are made severally and not jointly and the liabilities thereunder are borne on a pro rata basis based on the consideration to be received by each Stockholder; provided, however, that any general indemnity given by the Transferring Stockholder(s), applicable to liabilities not specific to the Section 3.5 Transferring Stockholder(s), to the purchaser in connection with such sale shall be apportioned among the Selling Stockholders according to the consideration received by each Selling Stockholder and shall not exceed such Selling Stockholder’s proceeds from the sale; provided, further, that any representation made by a Selling Stockholder shall relate only to such Selling Stockholder and its Equity Securities.

(c)  The fees and expenses, other than those payable to any Stockholder or any of their respective Affiliates, incurred in connection with a sale under this Section 3.5 and for the benefit of all Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Stockholder for his, her or its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Transferee or acquiring Person, shall be shared by all the Stockholders on a pro rata basis, based on the consideration received by each Stockholder; provided that no Stockholder shall be obligated to make any out-of-pocket  expenditure prior to the consummation of the transaction consummated pursuant to this Section 3.5 (excluding modest expenditures for postage, copies, etc.).

21

(d)  The Section 3.5 Transferring Stockholder(s) shall provide written notice (the “Drag Along Notice”) to each other Selling Stockholder of any proposed Drag Transaction as soon as practicable following its exercise of the rights provided in Section 3.5(a).  The Drag Along Notice shall set forth the consideration to be paid by the purchaser for the securities and the material terms of the Drag Transaction.

(e)  If any holders of Equity Securities of any class are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all holders of Equity Securities of such class will be given the same option.

(f)  At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of the sale, each Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Company to hold in escrow pending transfer of the consideration therefor, the duly endorsed certificate or certificates representing the Equity Securities held by such Selling Stockholder to be sold, and a stock power and limited power-of-attorney authorizing the Company to take all actions necessary to sell or otherwise dispose of such securities.  In the event that a Selling Stockholder should fail to deliver the Equity Securities, the Company shall cause the books and records of the Company to show that such Equity Securities are bound by the provisions of this Section 3.5 and that such securities may only be Transferred to the purchaser in such Drag Transaction.

(g)  Upon the consummation of the Drag Transaction, the acquiring Person shall remit directly to the Selling Stockholder, by wire transfer if available and if requested by the Selling Stockholder, the consideration for the securities sold pursuant thereto.

(e)  If any Stockholder or Exercising Stockholder fails to exercise fully the Equity Purchase Right within the periods described above and after expiration of the 10-day period for exercise of the over-allotment provisions pursuant to Section 4.1(d) above, the Company shall be free to complete the proposed issuance or sale of the New Securities described in the Issuance Notice with respect to which Exercising Stockholders failed to exercise the option set forth in this Section 4.1 on terms no less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Issuance Notice (except that the amount of securities to be issued or sold by the Company may be reduced); provided that (x) such issuance or sale is closed within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the 10-day period described in Section 4.1(d) and (y) the price at which the New Securities are Transferred must be equal to or higher than the purchase price described in the Issuance Notice.  Such periods within which such issuance or sale must be closed shall be extended to the extent necessary to obtain required governmental approvals and other required approvals and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approvals.  In the event that the Company has not sold such New Securities within said 90-day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first again offering such securities to the Stockholders in the manner provided in this Section 4.1.

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 5.1.   Stockholder Indemnification; Reimbursement of Expenses.

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder, their respective directors, members, managers and officers and their Affiliates (the Stockholders, and the respective directors, officers, partners, members, managers, Affiliates and controlling persons thereof, each, an “Stockholder Indemnitee”) from and against any and all liability, including, without limitation, all obligations, costs, fines, claims, actions, injuries, demands, suits, judgments, proceedings, investigations, arbitrations (including stockholder claims, actions, injuries, demands, suits, judgments, proceedings, investigations or arbitrations) and reasonable expenses, including reasonable accountant’s and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses (together the “Losses”), incurred by such Stockholder Indemnitee before or after the date of this Agreement and arising out of, resulting from, or relating to (i) such Stockholder Indemnitee’s purchase and/or ownership of any Equity Securities, (ii) the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (including the agreements described therein), and any other purchase agreements pursuant to which any Stockholder Indemnitee purchased securities of the Company and all agreements contemplated thereby, or (iii) any litigation to which any Stockholder Indemnitee is made a party in its capacity as a stockholder or owner of securities (or a partner, director, officer, member, manager, Affiliate or controlling person of any Stockholder Indemnitee) of the Company; provided that the foregoing indemnification rights in this Section 5.1 shall not be available to the extent that (a) any such Losses are incurred as a result of such Stockholder Indemnitee’s willful misconduct or gross negligence; (b) any such Losses are incurred as a result of non-compliance by such Stockholder Indemnitee with any laws or regulations applicable to any of them; (c) any such Losses are incurred as a result of non-compliance by such Stockholder Indemnitee with its obligations under any of the agreements or instruments referenced above or any other agreements or instruments to which such Stockholder Indemnitee is or becomes a party or otherwise becomes bound; or (d) subject to the rights of contribution provided for below, to the extent indemnification for any Losses would violate any applicable law, regulation or public policy.  For purposes of this Section 5.1, none of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any Stockholder Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by the Company under this Section 5.1, then such payments shall be promptly repaid by such Stockholder Indemnitee to the Company.  The rights of any Stockholder Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such party may have under any other agreement or instrument referenced above or any other agreement or instrument to which such Stockholder Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation.  In the event of any payment of indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.1, so long as any Stockholder Indemnitee is fully indemnified for all Losses, the Company will be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the related rights of recovery of the Stockholder Indemnitee to which such payment is made against all other Persons.  Such Stockholder Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably

24

required to evidence such rights.  The Company will be entitled at its election to participate in the defense of any third party claim upon which indemnification is due pursuant to this Section 5.1 or to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Stockholder Indemnitee unless, in the reasonable judgment of the Stockholder Indemnitee, a conflict of interest between the Company and such Stockholder Indemnitee may exist, in which case such Stockholder Indemnitee shall have the right to assume its own defense and the Company shall be liable for all reasonable expenses therefor.  Except as set forth above, should the Company assume such defense all further defense costs of the Stockholder Indemnitee in respect of such third party claim shall be for the sole account of such party and not subject to indemnification hereunder.  The Company will not without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Indemnitee effect any settlement of any threatened or pending third party claim in which such Stockholder Indemnitee is or could have been a party and be entitled to indemnification hereunder unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes an unconditional release of such Stockholder Indemnitee from all liability and claims that are the subject matter of such claim.  If the indemnification provided for above is unavailable in respect of any Losses, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying an Stockholder Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Stockholder Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and such Stockholder Indemnitee in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other equitable considerations.

The Company agrees to pay or reimburse (i) the Stockholders for (A) all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees, charges, disbursement and expenses) incurred in connection with any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or to any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, the Transaction Agreement or any related agreements and (B) in connection with any stamp, transfer, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of this Agreement, the Transaction Agreement or any related agreements; and (ii) each Stockholder for all costs and expenses of such Stockholder (including reasonable attorneys fees, charges, disbursement and expenses) incurred in connection with (1) the consent to any departure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, the Transaction Agreement or any related agreements and (2) the enforcement or exercise by such Stockholder of any right granted to it or provided for hereunder.

SECTION 5.2.   Termination.  Subject to the early termination of any provision as a result of an amendment to this Agreement agreed to by the Company and the Stockholders as provided under Section 5.8, (i) the provisions of Article II shall, with respect to each Stockholder, terminate as provided in the applicable Section of Article II or, if not so provided, as provided in Section 2.6, (ii) the provisions of Section 3.3 and Article IV shall terminate upon the consummation of an IPO, (iii) the provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.5, 3.2 and 3.4 shall terminate as provided therein and (iv) Sections 3.1, 3.6 and 5.1 of this Agreement shall not terminate.  Nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability for the breach of any of the agreements set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 5.3.   Amendments and Waivers.  Except as otherwise provided herein, no modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective without the approval of the Company and each Stockholder; provided, that any Stockholder may

25

waive (in writing) the benefit of any provision of this Agreement with respect to itself for any purpose.  The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.  Each of Constellation, Carlyle and Providence hereby agrees not to consent to amend this Agreement in order to modify or eliminate the right of its affiliated VCOC Fund to appoint a Stockholder Designee without the consent of such affiliated VCOC Fund.

SECTION 5.4.   Successors, Assigns and Transferees.  This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Stockholders may assign their respective rights and obligations hereunder to any Transferees only to the extent expressly provided herein.

SECTION 5.5.   Legend.  (a)  All certificates representing the Equity Securities held by each Stockholder shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY).  NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT AND (A) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.  THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT.

(b)  Upon the sale of any Equity Securities pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (ii) another exemption from registration under the Securities Act or upon the termination of this Agreement, the certificates representing such Equity Securities shall be replaced, at the expense of the Company, with certificates or instruments not bearing the legends required by this Section 5.5; provided that the Company may condition such replacement of certificates under clause (ii) upon the receipt of an opinion of securities counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

SECTION 5.6.   Notices.  All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified; (b) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next Business Day, provided that a copy of such notice is also sent via nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt; (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (d) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.  All communications shall be sent to such party’s address as set forth below or at such other address as the party shall have furnished to each other party in writing in accordance with this provision:

27

SECTION 5.7.   Further Assurances.  At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.

SECTION 5.8.   Entire Agreement.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement together with the Registration Rights Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, that may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

SECTION 5.9.   Restrictions on Other Agreements; Bylaws.  (a)  Following the date hereof, no Stockholder or any of its, her or his Permitted Transferees shall enter into or agree to be bound by any stockholder agreements or arrangements of any kind with any Person with respect to any Equity Securities except pursuant to the agreements specifically contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement or expressly permitted hereunder.

(b)  The provisions of this Agreement shall be controlling if any such provisions or the operation thereof conflict with the provisions of the Company’s by-laws.  Each of the parties covenants and agrees to vote their Equity Securities and to take any other action reasonably requested by the Company or any Stockholder to amend the Company’s by-laws so as to avoid any conflict with the provisions hereof.

SECTION 5.10.   Delays or Omissions.  It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring.  It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or

28

character on the part of any party hereto of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.  All remedies, either under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

SECTION 5.11.   Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.  This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware.  No suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in any court or before any similar authority other than in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, and the parties hereto hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of such suit, proceeding or judgment.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have had to bring such an action in any other court, domestic or foreign, or before any similar domestic or foreign authority.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding in relation to this Agreement and for any counterclaim therein.

SECTION 5.12.   Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

SECTION 5.13.   Enforcement.  Each party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

SECTION 5.14.   Titles and Subtitles.  The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

SECTION 5.15.   No Recourse.  Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, the Company and each Stockholder covenant, agree and acknowledge that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any current or future director, officer, employee, general or limited partner or member of any Stockholder or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any current or future officer, agent or employee of any Stockholder or any current or future member of any Stockholder or any current or future director, officer,

29

employee, partner or member of any Stockholder or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such for any obligation of any Stockholder under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

SECTION 5.16.   Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.  This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature(s).
