NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the mutual agreements set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

2




AGREEMENT

SECTION 1.                            TRANSFERS

(a)                            Transfer Restrictions.  Each of the Investors agrees and acknowledges that, except as provided in this Section 1, it will not, directly or indirectly (through one or more of its Affiliates or otherwise), Transfer any Shares except (i) for Permitted Transfers (in compliance with and subject to the provisions of Sections 2, 3 and 4 for Permitted Transfers within the meaning of clause (i) of the definition thereof occurring at any time prior to the IPO Date), provided that as a condition to any Permitted Transfer pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (v) of the definition of Permitted Transfer (whether prior or subsequent to the IPO Date), the transferee of Shares in such Permitted Transfer shall agree in writing to be bound by, and to comply with, all applicable provisions of, and to be deemed to be an Investor for purposes of, this Agreement, (ii) after the Blockout Period and prior to the IPO Date, for Transfers of Shares in compliance with and subject to the provisions of Sections 2, 3 and 4, (iii) after the IPO Date, for Transfers of Shares in compliance with and subject to the provisions of Section 4, (iv) at any time prior to the IPO Date, for Transfers of Shares in an Exit Sale pursuant to Section 3 and (v) at any time after the IPO Date, for Transfers of Shares pursuant to a Public Sale in compliance with and subject to Section 1(c).  Notwithstanding and without limiting the foregoing, no Investor shall be permitted, without the prior written consent of the Requisite Stockholder Majority, to (i) Transfer any Shares to any Person that competes in any material respect with the business conducted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at the time of such proposed Transfer (except a Transfer pursuant to a Public Sale), (ii) pledge, hypothecate or grant any security interest in any Shares, or (iii) prior to the IPO Date, Transfer any Shares in any manner that would violate, cause a default, constitute a “change of control” or trigger a requirement to repurchase or offer to repurchase or similar event, under any of the Company’s or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries’ material debt agreements, indentures and other agreements or instruments evidencing material indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as such agreements, indentures and instruments may be amended or modified from time to time in accordance with their terms; provided, that the foregoing clauses (i) and (iii) shall not apply to any Company Sale and; provided, further, that the foregoing clause (iii) shall not apply if in connection with such Transfer of Shares, the material indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is amended, modified or refinanced such that there does not exist a violation, default or “change of control” pursuant to such material indebtedness.  For purposes of determining whether a Transfer of Shares would constitute a “change of control,” Shares sold by any Investor pursuant to Tag-Along Rights provided in Section 4 shall be included in such calculation.  As a condition to any Transfer of Shares prior to the IPO Date (other than in connection with an Exit Sale), the transferee of such Shares shall (i) execute a counterpart of this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and become a party to this Agreement (ii) be bound by the terms hereof for all purposes hereunder and (iii) be treated as an Investor hereunder (but not as a Principal Investor unless (A) the transferor was a Principal Investor, and (B) each Principal Investor consents in their respective sole discretion) with the same rights and obligations of an Investor (but not as a Principal Investor unless (A) the transferor was a Principal Investor, and (B) each Principal Investor consents in their respective sole discretion) for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b)                           Transfer Notice.  Prior to any proposed Transfer of any Shares, the Investor holding such Shares to be Transferred shall give written notice to the Company of its intention to effect such Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”).  Such Transfer Notice shall set forth in reasonable

3




detail the terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer, including (i) the percentage of such Selling Investor’s Shares that would be Transferred, (ii) the number of Shares proposed to be Transferred (the “Offered Shares”), (iii) the proposed amount and form of consideration to be paid for the Offered Shares and (iv) all other material terms of the proposed Transfer.  In the event that the terms and/or conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice are thereafter amended in any material respect, the Transfer Notice shall be of no further force and effect and the transferring Investor shall give a new Transfer Notice containing such amended terms and conditions.  Subject to compliance with Section 1, 2, 3 and 4 herein (including any applicable time periods set forth in those Sections), and subject to Section 6(c) herein, the Investor holding such Shares to be Transferred shall have the right, after receipt by the Company and the other Investors of the Transfer Notice, to Transfer Shares in accordance with the terms set forth in such Transfer Notice.

(c)                            Restrictions on Transfers under Rule 144.  After the IPO Date, each Specified Holder shall promptly notify each Related Holder when it has commenced a measurement period for purposes of the Rule 144 group volume limit in connection with a Transfer that is subject to such limit and what the volume limit for such measurement period, determined as of its commencement, will be.  Each Related Holder shall be entitled to effect Transfers that are subject to the Rule 144 group volume limit pro rata during the applicable measurement period based on the ratio of the relative number of Shares owned by such Related Holder to the number of Shares owned by all Specified Holders and Related Holders at the start of the measurement period.  In the event any Related Holder agrees to forego its full pro rata share of the Rule 144 group volume limit by written notice thereof to the Specified Holder and all other Related Holders, the remainder shall be reallocated pro rata among the Specified Holder and all other Related Holders in like manner (except that the Shares held by such foregoing Related Holder at the start of such measurement period shall be excluded from such calculation).  The provisions of this Section 1(c) shall not apply to any Transfer of Shares (i) pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Public Sale or (ii) not subject to volume limitations under Rule 144.

SECTION 2.                            RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

(a)                            Company Right of First Offer.  Subject to Section 2(i), if, at any time prior to the IPO Date, an Investor (a “Selling Investor”) proposes to Transfer any Shares to any Person (the “Offeror”), such Selling Investor shall comply with the provisions of this Section 2.  Within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “Company Election Period”), the Company shall have the irrevocable right to elect to purchase all, or a portion, of the Offered Shares at the price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice by delivery of a written notice to the Selling Investor (the “Company Election Notice”).  The Company Election Notice will be binding on and enforceable against the Company with respect to the purchase and sale of all of such Offered Shares at the price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice.

(b)                           Investor Right of First Offer.  If the Company elects not to exercise its right to purchase all of the Offered Shares within the Company Election Period or elects to purchase less than all of the Offered Shares, the Company shall give each Investor notice of such election and deliver to each Investor other than the Selling Investor (each, a “Non-Selling Investor”) and each Management Stockholder a copy of the Transfer Notice within two (2) Business Days after the

4




expiration of the Company Election Period, then, within twelve (12) Business Days of the date the Company Election Period terminates (the “Investor Election Period”), each Non-Selling Investor shall have the right to elect (which election shall be irrevocable) to purchase up to that portion (pro rata based upon the relative number of Shares owned by such Non-Selling Investor to the Shares owned by all other Non-Selling Investors at such time) of the remaining Offered Shares at the price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice by delivery of a written notice to the Company (the “Investor Election Notice”).  The Investor Election Notice will be binding on and enforceable against each Non-Selling Investor with respect to the purchase and sale of all of such Offered Shares at the price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice.

(c)                            Investor Over-Allotment Period.  If the Company has elected not to exercise its right to purchase all of the Offered Shares within the Company Election Period or elected to purchase less than all of the Offered Shares and the Non-Selling Investors have in the aggregate elected to purchase some but less than all of the Offered Shares, the Company shall give those Non-Selling Investors, if any, who elected to purchase all of the Offered Shares (a “Fully Subscribed Non-Selling Investor”) which were available to be purchased by them pursuant to Section 2(b), a notice within two (2) Business Days of the expiry of the Investor Election Period of the number of additional Offered Shares available to be purchased (the “Remaining Offered Shares”).  Each Fully Subscribed Non-Selling Investor may elect (which election shall be irrevocable) to purchase up to its pro rata share (based on the ratio of the relative number of Shares owned by such Fully Subscribed Non-Selling Investor to the number of Shares owned by all of the Fully Subscribed Non-Selling Investors) of the Remaining Offered Shares by delivery to the Company of a written notice (the “Second Investor Election Notice”) within seven (7) Business Days of the expiry of the Investor Election Period (the “Second Investor Election Period”).  In anticipation of the contingency that not all of the Remaining Offered Shares are elected to be purchased pursuant to the preceding sentence (any such Remaining Offered Shares not elected to be purchased, the “Additional Remaining Offered Shares”), each Fully Subscribed Non-Selling Investor may also elect prior to the expiry of the Second Investor Election Period (which election shall be made concurrently and on the same form as the election in the previous sentence, and in any event shall be irrevocable) to purchase up to all of the Additional Remaining Offered Shares; provided that the Investors shall, as much as reasonably practicable, consult with each other and coordinate the exercise of rights such that all Remaining Offered Shares and Additional Remaining Offered Shares are elected to be purchased and each shall use all reasonable efforts to inform the others of the actions it will take at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the expiration of the Second Investor Election Period and to inform each other as promptly as practicable of any change of intention made thereafter, but prior to the expiration of the Second Investor Election Period.  To the extent that there are Remaining Offered Shares and the Fully Subscribed Non-Selling Investors have, in the aggregate, elected to purchase more of the Remaining Offered Shares than are available, such Remaining Offered Shares shall be apportioned pro rata amongst the Fully Subscribed Non-Selling Investors who have elected to purchase Remaining Offered Shares (determined based on the ratio of the number of Shares owned by each such Fully Subscribed Non-Selling Investor who has elected to purchase more than their pro rata portion of Remaining Offered Shares to the aggregate number of Shares held by all such Fully Subscribed Non-Selling Investors who have elected to purchase more than their pro rata portion of Remaining Offered Shares).

5




(d)                           Restrictions.  The right of each of the Company and the Non-Selling Investor as provided for in this Section 2 will be void ab initio if the Company Election Notice, all Investor Election Notices and all Second Investor Election Notices, collectively constitute an offer to purchase less than all of such Offered Shares.

(e)                            Exercise.  Provided that the Company Election Notice, all Investor Election Notices and all Second Investor Election Notices, collectively constitute an offer to purchase all of such Offered Shares, then within ten (10) days of receipt of the Company Election Notice, the Investor Election Notice, and the Second Investor Election Notice, as the case may be, either the Company or any Non-Selling Investor, or both (in each case, the “Electing Party”), shall deliver to the Selling Investor (by certified check or wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified by the Selling Investor) the purchase price of such Offered Shares to be purchased by the Electing Party, and the Selling Investor shall deliver stock certificates duly endorsed for Transfer or with duly executed stock powers or similar instruments, or such other instrument of Transfer of such Transferred Shares as may be reasonably requested by the Electing Party with all stock transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed.  If any Governmental Approval is required in connection with any such purchase of Offered Shares and such Governmental Approval has not been completed or obtained on or prior to the date scheduled for closing, the closing of the purchase of all Offered Shares shall take place on the third Business Day after such Governmental Approval has been completed or obtained.  The Selling Investor and the Electing Party shall each use reasonable efforts to complete or obtain any such required Governmental Approval; provided, however, that neither the Selling Investor nor the Electing Party shall be required to agree to any divestiture or operational constraint or pay any material amount of money (other than the filing fee payable in connection with any notification required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, or in connection with any notification or filing under any foreign competition laws which shall be paid by such Electing Party) as a condition of obtaining such Governmental Approval.   If each of the Parties has acted in good faith to complete or obtain any such required Governmental Approval and such Governmental Approval has not been completed or obtained on or before the date which is ninety (90) days after receipt by the Selling Investor of the Company Election Notice, the Investor Election Notice or the Second Investor Election Notice, as the case may be, the proposed sale of Offered Shares subject to such required Governmental Approval shall be cancelled with respect to such Electing Party and, for all purposes, such Electing Party shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase such Offered Shares pursuant to this Section 2, and the Selling Investor shall be free to Transfer the Offered Shares to (i) any Non-Selling Investors, if any remain, and the Company in accordance with this Section 2; provided, that the right of each of the Company and such Non-Selling Investors set forth in this Section 2 will be void ab initio if the Company and such Non-Selling Investors, collectively, offer to purchase less than all of the Offered Shares or (ii) in the absence of any remaining Non-Selling Investor, the Offeror.  Each Electing Party shall only be required to give customary representations and warranties, including legal authority and capacity, non-contravention of other agreements to which it is a party and customary stock investor representations.  Each Electing Party shall be required to enter into any instrument, undertaking or obligation necessary or reasonably requested and deliver all documents necessary or reasonably requested in connection with such sale (as specified in the Transfer Notice) as a condition to the exercise of such holder’s rights to Transfer Shares under this Section 2.

6




(f)                              Acceptance of Offer.  Subject to Section 4, if the Company and the Non-Selling Investors have not collectively elected to purchase all of the Offered Shares prior to the expiry of the Investor Election Period or the Second Investor Election Period, as the case may be, the Selling Investor shall have the right to Transfer the Offered Shares specified in the Transfer Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only at a price and upon terms and conditions in the aggregate no less favorable to the Selling Investor than those stated in the Transfer Notice and only if the consummation of sale occurs on a date within ninety (90) days from the end of the Investor Election Period or the Second Investor Election Period, as the case may be.

(g)                           Consideration.  For purposes of calculating the purchase price of any such Transfer, if any portion of the consideration is paid other than in cash, the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration shall be determined in accordance with the definition of Fair Market Value and any Electing Party may deliver an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such non-cash consideration in consideration for the Shares to be purchased by such Electing Party.

(h)                           Closing.  The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2 shall occur at the principal place of business of the Company unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties to such transaction.

(i)                               Certain Provisions Applicable to the ROFO.  Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) prior to any Transfer of Shares by a Selling Investor pursuant to this Section 2, the Selling Investor shall, after complying with the provisions of this Section 2, comply with the provisions of Section 4 hereof, if applicable; (ii) neither the Company nor any Investor shall be entitled to the right of first offer (“ROFO”) under this Section 2 with respect to a Permitted Transfer of any Shares within the meaning of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), or, in the event the Transfer is pursuant to a registration involving an Initial Public Offering, (v) of the definition of Permitted Transfer; (iii) no Investor shall be entitled to the ROFO under this Section 2 at any time that it owns less than 5% of such Investor’s Initial Investor Shares; (iv) no Investor shall be entitled to the ROFO under this Section 2 in connection with a Company Sale that is a merger, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction involving a sale of all or substantially all of the Company; and (v) no Investor shall be entitled to the ROFO under this Section 2 in connection with an Exit Sale pursuant to Section 3.

(j)                               Time Limitation.  If at the end of the 90th day after the end of the Investor Election Period or the Second Investor Election Period, as the case may be, the Selling Investor has not completed the proposed Transfer, the Transfer Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Transfer Notice to be delivered, and the terms and provisions of this Section 2 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Transfer pursuant to this Section 2.

(k)                            Investor Expenses.  The Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel (and such local counsel as may be appropriate) for the Spectrum Investors, collectively, until such time as the Spectrum Investors collectively cease to hold Investor Shares representing at least 25% of the Initial Investor Shares held by the Spectrum Investors (as may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, pro-rata selldowns or similar events),

7




and legal counsel (and such local counsel as may be appropriate) for each of the Principal Investors, in connection with any transaction that is the subject of this Section 2.

SECTION 3.                            DRAG-ALONG RIGHTS

(a)                            Drag-Along Right.  At any time prior to the IPO Date, Investors constituting a Requisite Stockholder Majority (collectively, the “Drag-Along Sellers”) may require each other Investor (the “Required Sellers”) to participate in any Company Sale pursuant to which the Drag-Along Sellers are Transferring at least 90% of the then outstanding Shares then held by the Drag-Along Sellers for consideration consisting of cash and cash equivalents (an “Exit Sale”) to an Independent Third Party (a “Drag-Along Transferee”) in a bona fide arm’s length transaction or series of transactions (including pursuant to a stock sale, asset sale, recapitalization, tender offer, merger or other business combination transaction or otherwise) at the purchase price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exit Sale (all of which shall be set forth in the Drag-Along Notice as hereinafter defined).  In connection with an Exit Sale, the Company may also require each Required Seller to vote in favor of such Exit Sale or act by written consent approving the same with respect to all Shares owned by such Required Seller, as necessary or desirable to authorize, approve and adopt the Exit Sale.  Without limiting the foregoing, if an Exit Sale requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders, each Investor shall waive any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such Exit Sale or Company Sale.  In the event that a sale is proposed pursuant to this Section 3, all outstanding proposals to Transfer Shares shall immediately be withdrawn and no Transfer of Shares shall be consummated until the expiration of the time period provided for in Section 3(e).  The consummation of an Exit Sale by the Drag-Along Sellers shall be subject to the sole discretion of the Drag-Along Sellers, who shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever (other than compliance with this Section 3) to any Required Sellers participating therein in connection with such Required Sellers’ Transfer of Shares.

(b)                           Notice.  The rights set forth in Section 3(a) shall be exercised by the Drag-Along Sellers giving written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) to each Required Seller and the Company, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Drag-Along Sellers expect to consummate the Transfer giving rise to such Drag-Along Right.  In the event that the terms and/or conditions set forth in the Drag-Along Notice are thereafter amended in any material respect, the Drag-Along Sellers shall give written notice (an “Amended Drag-Along Notice”) of the amended terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer to each Required Seller and the Company.  Each Drag-Along Notice and Amended Drag-Along Notice shall set forth:  (i) the name of the Drag-Along Transferee and the amount of Shares proposed to be purchased by such Drag-Along Transferee, (ii) the proposed amount and type of consideration and material terms and conditions of payment offered by the Drag-Along Transferee, and (iii) a summary of any other material terms pertaining to the Transfer.

(c)                            Exercise.  All Transfers of Shares to the Drag-Along Transferee pursuant to this Section 3 shall be consummated simultaneously at the offices of the Company, unless the Drag-Along Sellers elect otherwise, on the later of (i) a Business Day not less than ten (10) or more than sixty (60) days after the Drag-Along Notice is received by such Required Sellers and the Company or (ii) the third Business Day following receipt of all material Governmental Approvals, or at such other time and/or place as each of the parties to such Transfers may agree.

8




The delivery of stock certificates shall be made on such date, against payment of the purchase price for such Shares, duly endorsed for Transfer or with duly executed stock powers or similar instruments, or such other instrument of Transfer of such Shares as may be reasonably requested by the Drag-Along Sellers and the Company, with all stock transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed.  Each Required Seller shall receive the same form and amount of consideration received by the Drag-Along Sellers per Share.  To the extent that the Parties (or any successors thereto) are to provide any indemnification or otherwise assume any other post-closing liabilities, the Drag-Along Sellers and all Required Sellers selling Shares in a transaction under this Section 3 shall do so severally and not jointly (and on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Shares being sold by each) and their respective potential liability thereunder shall not exceed the proceeds received.  Furthermore, each Required Seller shall only be required to give customary representations and warranties, including title to Shares conveyed, legal authority and capacity, and non-contravention of other agreements to which it is a party, with respect to which indemnification or other post-closing liabilities shall be several and not joint (and only as to the representations and warranties given by such Required Seller) and their respective potential liability thereunder shall not exceed the proceeds received; provided, that in connection with such transaction no Investor shall be required to enter into any non-competition agreement.  Each Required Seller shall be required to enter into any instrument, undertaking or obligation necessary or reasonably requested and deliver all documents necessary or reasonably requested in connection with such sale (as specified in the Drag-Along Notice) in connection with this Section 3.

(d)                           Time Limitation.  If at the end of the 90th day after the receipt of the Drag-Along Notice the Drag-Along Sellers have not completed the proposed Transfer, the Drag-Along Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Drag-Along Notice to be delivered, and the terms and provisions of this Section 3 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Transfer pursuant to this Section 3; provided, that such 90 day time period may be extended at the option of the Drag-Along Sellers for a reasonable period of time not to exceed an additional 90 days to the extent that the failure to complete the proposed Transfer has resulted from the failure to obtain the necessary Governmental Approvals with respect to the Exit Sale.

(e)                            Investor Expenses.  The Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel (and such local counsel as may be appropriate) for the Spectrum Investors, collectively, until such time as the Spectrum Investors collectively cease to hold Investor Shares representing at least 25% of the Initial Investor Shares held by the Spectrum Investors (as may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, pro-rata selldowns or similar events), and legal counsel (and such local counsel as may be appropriate) for each of the Principal Investors, in connection with any transaction that is the subject of this Section 3.

SECTION 4.                            TAG-ALONG RIGHTS

(a)                            Notice.  Subject to Section 4(d) and after complying with the provisions of Section 2 to the extent applicable, if at any time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, following the IPO Date) a Selling Investor (referred to in this Section 4 as the “Tag-Along Seller”) proposes to Transfer Shares held by such Tag-Along Seller to any Person other than the Company (except where the Tag-Along Seller is a Principal Investor and the transferee is the Company, in which case the provisions of this Section 4 will apply) or the Non-Selling Investors pursuant to Section 2, whether in one transaction or in a series of related transactions, then such Tag-Along Seller

9




shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.  In addition to the information required to be provided in the Transfer Notice pursuant to Section 1(b), the Tag-Along Seller shall provide additional information with respect to the proposed Transfer as reasonably requested by the Non-Selling Investors to the Company.  Following receipt of such additional information, the Company shall promptly deliver such additional information to the Management Stockholders and the Non-Selling Investors.

(b)                           Tag-Along Right.  If the Company and the Non-Selling Investors have in the aggregate not elected to purchase all of the Offered Shares pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall give the Non-Selling Investors and the Management Stockholders, a notice within two (2) Business Days after the expiry of the Investor Election Period or the Second Investor Election Period, as the case may be, that all of the Offered Shares were not elected to be purchased and informing such Non-Selling Investor of their opportunity to participate in a tag-along sale pursuant to this Section 4 and informing the Management Stockholders of their opportunity to participate in the tag-along sale pursuant to the Management Stockholders Agreement.  The Non-Selling Investors and the Management Stockholders shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Tag-Along Seller within seven (7) Business Days after the expiration of the Investor Election Period or the Second Investor Election Period, as the case may be (the “Tag-Along Election Period”), to participate in the proposed Transfer by the Tag-Along Seller to any Person (the “Tag-Along Transferee”) on the terms and conditions set forth in such Transfer Notice (such participation rights being hereinafter referred to as “Tag-Along Rights”).  Any Non-Selling Investor and any Management Stockholder that has not notified the Tag-Along Seller of its intent to exercise Tag-Along Rights within the Tag-Along Election Period shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise such Tag-Along Rights with respect to the sale contemplated by such Transfer Notice and the Tag-Along Seller and the Non-Selling Investors and the Management Stockholders who have exercised such Tag-Along Rights shall thereafter be free to Transfer to the Tag-Along Transferee at a per share price no greater than the per share price set forth in the Transfer Notice with respect to such Transfer and on other terms and conditions that are not materially more favorable to the Tag-Along Seller and the Non-Selling Investors and the Management Stockholders who have exercised such Tag-Along Rights than those set forth in such Transfer Notice, without any further obligation to such Non-Selling Investor(s) and Management Stockholder(s) pursuant to this Section 4(b) that have not provided notice to exercise Tag-Along Rights.  Each Non-Selling Investor and Management Stockholder that elects to exercise Tag-Along Rights may participate with respect to the Shares owned by such Investor or with respect to the number of whole Restricted Shares (as defined in the Management Stockholders Agreement), including any (a) Restricted Shares issuable upon exercise of Vested Options (as defined in the Management Stockholders Agreement) or (b) any Restricted Shares that will be issuable pursuant to options that vest as a result of the consummation of the Transfer to the Tag-Along Transferee (collectively, “Management Shares”), as the case may be, in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) in the case of Non-Selling Investor, the aggregate number of Shares owned by such Non-Selling Investor on the date of the sale and, in the case of a Management Stockholder, the aggregate number of Management Shares owned by such Management Stockholder on the date of the Sale by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of Shares proposed to be sold by the Tag-Along Seller and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Shares owned by the Tag-Along Seller (the “Eligible Shares”).  If one or more Non-Selling Investors and Management Stockholders elects not to

10




include the maximum number of Eligible Shares in a proposed sale, the Tag-Along Seller shall give prompt notice to each other participating Non-Selling Investors and participating Management Stockholders and such other participating Investor and participating Management Stockholders may sell in the proposed sale a number of additional Shares or Management Shares, as the case may be, owned by any of them equal to their pro rata portion (based upon the aggregate number of Shares owned by such Investor or the aggregate number of Management Shares owned by such Management Stockholder, as the case may be, relative to the aggregate number of Shares and Management Shares owned by all Investors and Management Stockholders) of the number of Shares and Management Shares eligible to be included in the proposed Transfer.  Such additional Shares and Management Shares which any such Non-Selling Investor(s) or Management Stockholder(s) proposes to sell shall not be included in the calculation of Eligible Shares of such Non-Selling Investor or Management Stockholder.  To the extent that the total number of Shares and Management Shares proposed to be sold by the Tag-Along Seller and the number of Eligible Shares proposed to be Transferred by all of the Non-Selling Investors and Management Stockholders collectively exceeds the number of Shares and Management Shares that the Tag-Along Transferee is willing to acquire, the number of Shares and Management Shares that the Tag-Along Seller and each Non-Selling Investor and Management Stockholder propose to Transfer will be reduced pro rata based upon the relative number of Shares and Management Shares that the Tag-Along Seller and each such Non-Selling Investor and Management Stockholder had proposed to Transfer.

(c)                            Exercise.  At the closing of the Transfer to any Tag-Along Transferee pursuant to this Section 4, the delivery of stock certificates shall be made on such date by the Tag-Along Seller and such Non-Selling Investors and Management Stockholders exercising Tag-Along Rights, against payment of the purchase price for such Shares and Management Shares, duly endorsed for Transfer or with duly executed stock powers or similar instruments, or such other instrument of Transfer of such Shares and Management Shares as may be reasonably requested by the Tag-Along Transferee and the Company, with all stock transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed.  The consummation of such proposed Transfer shall be subject to the sole discretion of the Tag-Along Seller, who shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever (other than compliance with this Section 4) to any Non-Selling Investor or Management Stockholder participating therein in connection with such Non-Selling Investor’s or Management Stockholder’s Transfer of Shares or Management Shares.  Each Non-Selling Investor and Management Stockholder exercising Tag-Along Rights shall receive the same amount and form of consideration received by the Tag-Along Seller per each Share on the same terms and conditions as the Tag-Along Seller.  To the extent that the Parties (or any successors thereto) are to provide any indemnification or otherwise assume any other post-closing liabilities, the Tag-Along Seller and all Non-Selling Investors and Management Stockholders exercising Tag-Along Rights shall do so severally and not jointly (and on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Shares being Transferred by each), and their respective potential liability thereunder shall not exceed the proceeds received.  Furthermore, each Investor shall only be required to give customary representations and warranties, including title to Shares conveyed, legal authority and capacity, and non-contravention of other agreements to which it is a party, with respect to which indemnification or other post-Closing liabilities shall be several and not joint (and only as to the representations and warranties given by such Investor) and their respective potential liability thereunder shall not exceed the proceeds received; provided, that in connection with such transaction no Investor or Management Stockholder shall be required to

11




enter into any non-competition agreement.  If any Governmental Approval is required in connection with any such Transfer of Shares and such Governmental Approval has not been completed or obtained on or prior to the date scheduled for closing, the closing of Transfer of Shares and Management Shares shall take place on the third Business Day after such Governmental Approval has been completed or obtained.  Each participating Investor shall be required to enter into any instrument, undertaking, obligation or make any filing necessary or reasonably requested and deliver all documents necessary or reasonably requested in connection with such Transfer (as specified in the Transfer Notice) as a condition to the exercise of such holder’s rights to Transfer Shares under this Section 4.

(d)                           Certain Restrictions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Tag-Along Rights of any Investor or Management Stockholder shall apply hereunder with respect to any Transfers pursuant to (i) any Permitted Transfer within the meaning of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of the definition of Permitted Transfer, (ii) any Transfer pursuant to a Public Sale, (iii) any Exit Sale pursuant to Section 3 or (iv) in the case of Management Stockholders, pursuant to Transfers in which the Management Stockholders do not have tag along rights pursuant to Section 4 of the Management Stockholders Agreement.

(e)                            Time Limitation.  If at the end of the 90th day after the end of the Investor Election Period or the Second Investor Election Period, as the case may be, the Tag-Along Seller has not completed the proposed Transfer, the Transfer Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Transfer Notice to be delivered, and the terms and provisions of this Section 4 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Transfer pursuant to this Section 4; provided, that such 90 day time period may be extended at the option of the Tag-Along Seller for a reasonable period of time not to exceed an additional 90 days to the extent that the failure to complete the proposed Transfer has resulted from the failure to obtain the necessary Governmental Approvals with respect to the Transfers.

(f)                              Investor Expenses.  The Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel (and such local counsel as may be appropriate) for the Spectrum Investors, collectively, until such time as the Spectrum Investors collectively cease to hold Investor Shares representing at least 25% of the Initial Investor Shares held by the Spectrum Investors (as may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, pro-rata selldowns or similar events), and legal counsel (and such local counsel as may be appropriate) for each of the Principal Investors, in connection with any transaction that is the subject of this Section 4.

SECTION 5.                            PARTICIPATION RIGHTS

(a)                            Participation Rights.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(k), on or prior to the IPO Date, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary (the Company and each Subsidiary, as “Issuer”) to, issue or sell any Shares, shares of stock or other securities (including debt securities or other evidences of indebtedness) which are directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of stock or other equity securities, in each case, to any Person or Persons, including by means of a public offering (each an “Issuance” of “Subject Securities”), except in compliance with this provisions of this Section 5.

12




(b)                           Offer.  At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of an Issuance, a notice (the “Participation Notice”) shall be delivered by the Issuer and received by each Investor (the “Participating Offerees”).  The Participation Notice shall include:

(i)                                     the principal terms and conditions of the proposed Issuance, including (A) the amount, type and terms of the Subject Securities to be included in the Issuance, (B) the number of Equivalent Shares represented by such Subject Securities, if applicable, (C) each Participating Offeree’s pro rata share of such Subject Securities based on such Participating Offeree’s Percentage Interest in the Company (the “Participation Portion”), (D) the price (including, if applicable, the maximum and minimum price per Equivalent Share) per unit of the Subject Securities, including a description of any non-cash consideration that is sufficiently detailed to permit valuation thereof, (E) the proposed manner of disposition, (F) the name and address of the Person to whom the Subject Securities will be issued (the “Prospective Subscriber”) and (G) if known, the proposed Issuance date; and

(ii)                                  an offer by the Issuer to issue, at the option of each Participating Offeree, to such Participating Offeree such portion of the Subject Securities to be included in the Issuance as may be requested by such Participating Offeree (not to exceed such Participating Offeree’s Participation Portion), on the same terms and conditions as each unit of Subject Securities issued to Prospective Subscribers.

(c)                            Exercise.  Each Participating Offeree desiring to accept the offer contained in the Participation Notice shall accept such offer by delivering a written notice of such acceptance to the Issuer within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of the Participation Notice specifying the amount of Subject Securities (not to exceed such Participating Offeree’s Participation Portion) which such Participation Offeree desires to be issued (each a “Participating Buyer”).  Each Participation Offeree who does not accept such offer in compliance with the above requirements, including the applicable time periods, shall be deemed to have waived all of such Investor’s rights to participate in such Issuance, and the Issuer shall thereafter be free to issue Subject Securities in such Issuance to the Prospective Subscriber and any Participating Buyers, at a price no less than the minimum price set forth in the Participation Notice and on other principal terms in the aggregate not substantially more favorable to the Prospective Subscriber than those set forth in the Participation Notice, without any further obligation to such non-accepting Participating Offerees pursuant to this Section 5.  If, prior to consummation, the terms and conditions of such proposed Issuance as set forth in the Participation Notice shall change with the result that the price shall be less than the minimum price set forth in the Participation Notice or the other principal terms shall be substantially more favorable to the Prospective Subscriber than those set forth in the Participation Notice, it shall be necessary for the Issuer to give written notice (an “Amended Participation Notice”) in order to consummate such Issuance; provided, however, that if an Amended Participation Notice is issued, each Participating Buyer shall have an additional five (5) Business Days to exercise its right of participation as provided in this Section 5.

(d)                           Irrevocable Acceptance.  The acceptance of each Participating Buyer shall be irrevocable except as hereinafter provided, and each such Participating Buyer shall be bound and obligated to acquire in the Issuance on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each unit of

13




Subject Securities issued, as the Prospective Subscriber, such amount of Subject Securities as such Participating Buyer shall have specified in such Participating Buyer’s written commitment.

(e)                            Time Limitation.  If at the end of the 90th day after the receipt of the Participation Notice the Issuer has not completed the Issuance, the Participation Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be delivered, and the terms and provisions of this Section 5 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Issuance pursuant to this Section 5.

(f)                              Other Securities.  The Issuer may condition the participation of the Participating Offerees in an Issuance upon the purchase by such Participating Offerees of any securities (including debt securities) other than Subject Securities (“Other Securities”) in the event that the participation of the Prospective Subscriber(s) in such Issuance is so conditioned.  In such case, each Participating Buyer shall acquire in the Issuance, together with the Subject Securities to be acquired by it, Other Securities in the same proportion to the Subject Securities to be acquired by it as the proportion of Other Securities to Subject Securities being acquired by the Prospective Subscriber(s) in the Issuance, on the same terms and conditions as each unit of Subject Securities and Other Securities being issued to the Prospective Subscriber(s).

(g)                           Certain Legal Requirements.  In the event that the participation in the Issuance by a Participation Offeree as a Participating Buyer would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such Subject Securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such Subject Securities where such registration or qualification is not otherwise required for the Issuance or (ii) the provision to any participant in the Issuance of any specified information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Subject Securities that is not otherwise required to be provided for the Issuance, such Participation Offeree shall not have the right to participate in the Issuance.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Issuer shall not be under any obligation to effect a registration of such Subject Securities under the Securities Act or similar state statutes.

(h)                           Further Assurances.  Each Participating Buyer shall take or cause to be taken all such reasonable actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in order to expeditiously consummate each Issuance pursuant to this Section 5 and any related transactions, including executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; filing applications, reports, returns and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; and otherwise cooperating with the Issuer and the Prospective Subscriber.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Participating Buyer agrees to execute and deliver such subscription and other agreements specified by the Issuer to which the Prospective Subscriber will be party.

(i)                               Expenses.  All costs and expenses incurred by the Issuer in connection with any proposed Issuance of Subject Securities (whether or not consummated), including all attorneys’ fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, shall be paid by the Company.  Each Participating Buyer may retain, and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of, legal counsel (and such local counsel as may be appropriate) in connection with such proposed Issuance of Subject Securities (whether or not consummated).  Any other costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf

14




of any Participating Buyer in connection with such proposed Issuance of Subject Securities (whether or not consummated) shall be borne by such Participating Buyer.

(j)                               Closing.  The closing of an Issuance pursuant to this Section 5 shall take place (i) on the proposed date of Issuance, if any, set forth in the Participation Notice (provided that consummation of any Issuance may be extended beyond such date to the extent necessary to obtain any applicable governmental approval or other required approval or to satisfy other conditions), (ii) if no proposed Issuance date was required to be specified in the Participation Notice, at such time as the Issuer shall specify by notice to each Participating Buyer, provided that such closing with respect to a Participating Buyer shall not (without the consent of such Participating Buyer) be prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the Company issues the applicable Participation Notice and (iii) at such place as the Issuer shall specify by notice to each Participating Buyer.  At the closing of any Issuance under this Section 5, each Participating Buyer shall be delivered the notes, certificates or other instruments evidencing the Subject Securities (and, if applicable, Other Securities) to be issued to such Participating Buyer, registered in the name of such Participating Buyer or any designated nominee, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, with any transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery by such Participating Buyer of the applicable consideration.

(k)                            Excluded Transactions.  The provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply to Issuances by the Company as follows:

(i)                                     any Issuance of Stock upon the exchange, exercise or conversion of any Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities outstanding at the Effective Time or issued after the Effective Time in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5;

(ii)                                  any Issuance of Stock at the Effective Time in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

(iii)                               any Issuance of Stock, Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities to officers, employees, directors or consultants of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to any Board approved plan or other arrangement validly adopted by the Board;

(iv)                              any Issuance of Stock pursuant to an Initial Public Offering;

(v)                                 any Issuance to the extent approved by the Requisite Stockholder Majority (a) to stockholders and management of a target entity in connection with any business combination or acquisition transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (b) in connection with any joint venture or strategic partnership;

(vi)                              any Issuance of shares of Stock in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or similar recapitalization approved by the Requisite Stockholder Majority;

(vii)                           any Issuance in exchange for debt securities; or

(viii)                        any Issuance by a Subsidiary to the Company or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company.

15




SECTION 6.                            REGISTRATION RIGHTS

(a)                            Demand Registrations.

(i)                                     Right to Demand Registration.  Subject to the terms of any holdback agreement as provided in Section 6(c) and the limitations provided in this Section 6(a)(i) and Section 6(a)(ii), the Investors shall each have the right at any time following the IPO Date to make a written request of the Company for registration (including a Shelf Registration) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, of all or part of the Registrable Stock beneficially owned and held of record by such Investor (each a “Demand Registration” and such Investor, the “Demanding Investor”); provided, that during the first two years following the IPO Date, the consent of at least two of the Principal Investors shall be required prior to any Investor exercising a Demand Registration (it being understood that if the Demanding Investor is a Principal Investor the consent of only one additional Principal Investor shall be required to exercise a Demand Registration); and provided, further, that the Company may defer such Demand Registration for a single period not to exceed 90 days during any one year period if the Board determines in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that to effect such Demand Registration at such time would have a material adverse effect on the Company, including interfering with any pending or potential acquisition, disposition or securities offering of the Company.  Within ten (10) days after receipt of the request for a Demand Registration in accordance with this Section 6(a)(i) and Section 6(a)(ii), the Company will send written notice (the “Demand Notice”) of such registration request and its intention to comply therewith to all of the Investors and, subject to Section 6(a)(iii) below, the Company will include in such registration all the Registrable Stock with respect to which the Company has received written requests from any Investor for inclusion therein within twenty (20) Business Days after the date such Demand Notice is received.  All requests made pursuant to this Section 6(a)(i) will specify the aggregate quantity of Registrable Stock requested to be registered and will also specify the intended methods of disposition thereof.  Upon receipt of a Demand Notice, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect registration of the Registrable Stock to be registered in accordance with the intended method of distribution specified in writing by the Demanding Investor as soon as practicable and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration until the first to occur of (A) the completion of such distribution or (B) ninety (90) days (one-hundred eighty (180) days in the case of a Shelf Registration); provided, however, that if the Company becomes and is at the time of its receipt of a Demand Notice a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) and is eligible to file an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act), the Company shall cause any Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 6 to be effected pursuant to an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act).  If available to the Company, the Company will effect such registration on Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form under the Securities Act in which event it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration for a period of one-hundred eighty (180) days.

16




(ii)                                  Number of Demand Registrations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 6(a)(i) and subject to the restrictions therein and herein, (A) each of the Principal Investors and the Spectrum Investors shall have the right to an unlimited number of Demand Registrations of their respective Registrable Stock on Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form under the Securities Act, but no more than two such Demand Registrations shall be effected within any 12 month period, and the right to no more than two Demand Registrations of their respective Registrable Stock on Form S-1 or any equivalent or successor form under the Securities Act and (B) the Investors that are not Principal Investors or Spectrum Investors, as a group, shall have the right to no more than one Demand Registration, which Demand Registration shall be on Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form under the Securities Act (the “Coinvestor Demand”), and shall have no right to a Demand Registration on Form S-1 or any equivalent or successor form under the Securities Act; provided, however, the Company need not effect a Demand Registration on behalf of any such Investors that are not Principal Investors or Spectrum Investors unless such Investors that are not Principal Investors or Spectrum Investors are requesting a Demand Registration with respect to Registrable Stock with an aggregate price to the public of at least $200 million. The Company shall not be required to cause a registration pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) to be declared effective within a period of 90 days after the date any other Company registration statement was declared effective pursuant to a Demand Registration request or a filing for the Company’s own behalf.  A Demand Registration may be withdrawn prior to the filing of the registration statement with respect to such Demand Registration by the Investor that made such Demand Registration request and a registration statement may be withdrawn prior to the effectiveness thereof by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Stock included therein, and, in either such event, such withdrawal shall not be treated as a Demand Registration for purposes of this Section 6(a)(ii).  Investors owning a majority of Registrable Stock with respect to a Coinvestor Demand shall have the right to control all decisions regarding such Coinvestor Demand (including whether to effectuate or terminate such Coinvestor Demand).

(iii)                               Priority on Demand Registrations.  If in any Demand Registration the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof if such registration is underwritten, advise the Company in writing that in its or their reasonable opinion the number of securities proposed to be sold in such Demand Registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without having a material adverse effect on the success of the offering, including an impact on the selling price and other terms of such offering (an “Underwriter Cutback”), the Company will include in such registration only the number of securities that, in the reasonable opinion of such underwriter or underwriters can be sold without having a material adverse effect on the success of the offering, as follows: first, the securities which the Investors, including the Demanding Investor(s) (pro rata among all such Investors on the basis of the relative percentage of Registrable Stock then held by all Investors who have requested that securities owned by them be so included), propose to sell; second, the securities of any additional holders of the Company’s securities eligible to participate in such offering, pro rata among all such Persons on the basis of the relative percentage of such securities then held by each of them; and third, the securities proposed to be sold by the Company in such offering, if any.  For purposes

17




of any Underwriter Cutback pursuant to this Section 6(a)(iii), all Registrable Stock proposed to be sold by any Investor shall also include any Registrable Stock proposed to be sold by the partners, retired partners, shareholders or Affiliates of such Investor, or the estates and family members of any such Investor or such partners or retired partners, any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons and, at the election of such Investor or such partners, retired partners, trusts or Affiliates, any Charitable Organization to which any of the foregoing shall have contributed Registrable Stock prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement in connection with such Demand Registration, and such Investor and other Persons shall be deemed to be a single selling Investor, and any pro rata reduction with respect to such Investor shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Stock proposed to be sold by all entities and individuals included in such selling Investor, as defined in this sentence.  In the event that there has been no Underwriter Cutback and the managing underwriter or Demanding Investor determines that additional securities of the Company may be sold in any Demand Registration without having a material adverse effect on the success of the offering, the Company may include such securities to be issued and sold by the Company or comparable securities held by Persons other than the Parties.

(iv)                              Selection of Underwriters.  Except with respect to any Initial Public Offering, in which case the managing underwriter or underwriters shall be chosen by the Requisite Stockholder Majority, if a Demand Registration is to be an underwritten offering, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Stock to be included in such Demand Registration will select a managing underwriter or underwriters.

(b)                           Piggyback Registrations. If the Company at any time proposes to register under the Securities Act any Stock or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Stock, whether or not for sale for its own account and other than pursuant to a Demand Registration (it being understood that an Investor may include its Registrable Stock in a registration effected pursuant to a Demand Registration in accordance with Section 6(a)), on a form and in a manner which would permit registration of the Registrable Stock held by an Investor for sale to the public under the Securities Act, the Company shall give written notice of the proposed registration to each Investor not later than thirty (30) days prior to the filing thereof.  Each Investor shall have the right to request that all or any part of its Registrable Stock be included in such registration.  Each Investor can make such a request by giving written notice to the Company within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of the Company’s notice of the proposed registration; provided, however, that if the registration is an underwritten registration and there is an Underwriter Cutback, the Company will include in such registration only the number of securities that, in the reasonable opinion of such underwriter or underwriters can be sold without having a material adverse effect on the success of the offering, as follows: first, the securities which the Company proposes to sell; second, the Registrable Stock of such Investors, pro rata among all such Investors on the basis of the relative percentage of Registrable Stock then held by all Investors who have requested that Registrable Stock owned by them be so included (it being further agreed and understood, however, that such underwriters shall have the right to eliminate entirely the participation of the Investors); and third, the comparable securities of any additional holders of the Company’s securities (including any such securities held by current or former officers or employees of or consultants to the Company), pro rata among all such holders

18




on the basis of the relative percentage of such securities then held by all such holders who have requested that securities owned by them be so included.  For purposes of any Underwriter Cutback pursuant to this Section 6(b), all Registrable Stock proposed to be sold by any Investor shall also include any Registrable Stock proposed to be sold by the partners, retired partners, shareholders or Affiliates of such Investor, or the estates and family members of any such Investor or such partners or retired partners, any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons and, at the election of such Investor or such partners, retired partners, trusts or Affiliates, any Charitable Organization to which any of the foregoing shall have contributed Registrable Stock prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement in connection with such underwritten registration, and such Investor and other Persons shall be deemed to be a single selling Investor, and any pro rata reduction with respect to such Investor shall be based upon the aggregate amount of securities proposed to be sold by all entities and individuals included in such selling Investor, as defined in this sentence.  Registrable Stock proposed to be registered and sold pursuant to an underwritten offering for the account of any Investor shall be sold to the prospective underwriters, on the terms and subject to the conditions of one or more underwriting agreements negotiated between the holders of Registrable Stock to which such Registration Statement relates, the Company and the prospective underwriters. Any Investor who holds Registrable Stock being registered in any offering shall have the right to receive a copy of the form of underwriting agreement and shall have an opportunity to hold discussions with the lead underwriter of the terms of such underwriting agreement. The Company may withdraw any Registration Statement at any time before it becomes effective, or postpone or terminate the offering of securities, without obligation or liability to any Investor.

(c)                            Holdback Agreements.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, each Investor agrees that (if so required by the underwriters in an underwritten offering and provided that such condition is applicable equally to all Investors) it will not (and it shall be a condition to the rights of each Investor under this Section 6 that such Investor does not) offer for Public Sale any Stock during (i) a period not to exceed one-hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of any Registration Statement filed by the Company in connection with an underwritten Initial Public Offering (except as part of such underwritten registration or as otherwise permitted by such underwriters) and (ii) a period not to exceed ninety (90) days after the effective date of any Registration Statement filed by the Company in connection with any underwritten Public Sale of Stock that is not an Initial Public Offering (except as part of such underwritten registration or as otherwise permitted by such underwriters); provided, however, that in each case, no Investor shall object to shortening such period if the underwriter agrees that shortening such period would not materially and adversely affect the success of the offering; and provided further, that no Investor shall be released from such restrictions as provided in this Section 6(c) unless all Investors are similarly so released pro rata based upon the relative number of Shares owned at such time.

(d)                           Expenses.  Except as otherwise required by state securities or blue sky laws or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, all expenses, disbursements and fees incurred by the Company and the Investors in connection with any registration under this Section 6 shall be borne by the Company, except that the following expenses shall be borne by the Investors incurring the same:  (i) the costs and expenses of counsel to such Investor to the extent such Investor retains counsel (except the costs of one legal counsel for all Investors to the extent

19




retained, which shall be borne by the Company); (ii) discounts, commissions, fees or similar compensation owing to underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or other industry professionals, to the extent relating to the distribution or sale of such Investor’s securities; and (iii) transfer taxes with respect to the securities sold by such Investor.

(e)                            Registration Procedures.  In connection with any registration of Registrable Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will consult with each Investor whose equity interest is to be included in any such registration concerning the form of underwriting agreement, shall provide to such Investor the form of underwriting agreement prior to the Company’s execution thereof and shall provide to such Investor and its representatives such other documents (including comments by the Commission on the Registration Statement) as such Investor shall reasonably request in connection with its participation in such registration. The Company will furnish each Investor whose Registrable Stock are registered thereunder and each underwriter, if any, with a copy of the Registration Statement and all amendments thereto and will supply each such Investor and each underwriter, if any, with copies of any prospectus included therein (including a preliminary prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto), in such quantities as may be reasonably necessary for the purposes of the proposed sale or distribution covered by such registration.  The Company shall not, however, be required to maintain the Registration Statement effective or to supply copies of a prospectus for a period beyond ninety (90) days after the effective date of such Registration Statement (one-hundred eighty (180) days in the case of a Shelf Registration), or such longer period as is otherwise set forth herein or agreed to by the Company, and, at the end of such period, the Company may deregister any securities covered by such Registration Statement and not then sold or distributed. In the event that the Company prepares and files with the Commission a registration statement on any appropriate form under the Securities Act (a “Registration Statement”) providing for the sale of Registrable Stock held by any Investor pursuant to its obligations under this Section 6, the Company will:

(i)                                     upon filing a Registration Statement or any prospectus related thereto (a “Prospectus”) or any amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to the Investors whose Registrable Stock is covered by such Registration Statement and the underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents;

(ii)                                  prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the ninety (90) day period (one-hundred eighty (180) days in the case of a Shelf Registration) referenced in Section 6(e); cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to such Prospectus;

(iii)                               promptly notify the Investors and the managing underwriters, if any, and (if requested by any such Person or entity) confirm such advice in writing, (A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the

20




same has become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission or any state securities commission for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (C) of the issuance by the Commission or any state securities commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Stock for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (E) of the existence of any fact which results in a Registration Statement, a Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(iv)                              use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement;

(v)                                 if requested by the managing underwriters or an Investor, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriters or the Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Stock being sold by Investors agree should be included therein relating to the sale of such Registrable Stock, including information with respect to the amount of Registrable Stock being sold to such underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten (or best efforts underwritten) offering of the Registrable Stock to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

(vi)                              furnish to such Investor and each managing underwriter at least one signed copy of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference);

(vii)                           deliver to such Investors and the underwriters, if any, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons or entities may reasonably request;

(viii)                        prior to any Public Sale of Registrable Stock, register or qualify or cause to be registered or qualified such Registrable Stock for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Investor or underwriter reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Stock covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

21




(ix)                                cooperate with the Investors and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Stock to be sold pursuant to such Registration Statement and not bearing any restrictive legends, and enable such Registrable Stock to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriters may request at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Stock to the underwriters;

(x)                                   if any fact described in clause (iii)(E) above exists, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Stock being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(xi)                                cause all Registrable Stock covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(xii)                             provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Stock covered by such registration statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(xiii)                          obtain an opinion from the Company’s counsel and a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent auditors in customary form and covering such matters as are customarily covered by such opinions and “cold comfort” letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings, which opinion and letter shall be reasonably satisfactory to the underwriter, if any, and to the Investors owning a majority in interest of the Registrable Stock being registered in such offering, and furnish to each Investor participating in the offering and to each underwriter, if any, a copy of such opinion and letter addressed to such Investor or underwriter;

(xiv)                         deliver promptly to each Investor participating in the offering and each underwriter, if any, copies of all correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement, other than those portions of any such correspondence and memoranda which contain information subject to attorney-client privilege with respect to the Company, and, upon receipt of such confidentiality agreements as the Company may reasonably request, make reasonably available for inspection by any seller of such Registrable Stock covered by such Registration Statement, by any underwriter, if any, participating in any disposition to be effected pursuant to such registration statement and by any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or any such underwriter, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause all of the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement;

22




(xv)                            provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Stock included in such Registration Statement, not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement;

(xviii)                   otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and relevant state securities commissions, and make generally available to the Investors earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 12(a) of the Securities Act no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of any 12-month period (or one-hundred twenty (120) days, if such period is a fiscal year) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Stock of such Investor is sold to underwriters in an underwritten offering, or, if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month periods; and

(xix)                           take all such other commercially reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Stock, including using commercially reasonable efforts to cause appropriate officers and employees to be available, on a customary basis and upon reasonable notice, to meet with prospective investors in presentations, meetings, road shows and due diligence sessions.

(f)                              Conditions to Investor Rights; Indemnification by Investor.  It shall be a condition to each Investor’s rights hereunder to have Registrable Stock owned by it registered that:

(i)                                     such Investor shall cooperate with the Company in all reasonable respects by supplying information and executing documents relating to such Investor or the securities of the Company owned by such Investor in connection with such registration which are reasonably requested by the Company;

23




(ii)                                  such Investor shall enter into such undertakings and take such other action relating to the conduct of the proposed offering which the Company or the underwriters may reasonably request as being necessary to ensure compliance with federal and state securities laws and the rules or other requirements of the NASD or otherwise to effectuate the offering; and

(iii)                               such Investor shall execute and deliver an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), and each Person or entity, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including reimbursement for legal and other expenses) to which such underwriter or controlling Person or entity may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, in such manner as is customary for registrations of the type then proposed and, in any event, comparable in scope to indemnities given by the Company in connection with such registration, but only with respect to information furnished by such Investor in writing and specifically for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus in connection with such registration and with respect to such Investor’s failure to deliver Prospectuses as required under the Securities Act.

(g)                           Indemnification and Contribution.

(i)                                     In the event of any registration under the Securities Act of any Registrable Stock of Investors pursuant to this Section 6, the Company hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, managers, agents and control persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) disposing of such Registrable Stock (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, including reimbursement for legal and other expenses to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus contained therein (in the case of any prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Investor and

24




furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(g)(i) shall not inure to the benefit of any Investor from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Registrable Stock concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Registrable Stock was required to be delivered by such Investor or underwriter under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Investor results from the fact that there was not sent or given to such Person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Stock to such Person, a copy of the final prospectus if the Company had previously furnished a copy thereof to such Investor; provided, further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified Person. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters in connection with a disposition of Registrable Stock by the Investors, and such underwriters’ respective directors, officers and control persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the such Investors if requested by a majority of such Investors.

(ii)                                  In the event of any registration under the Securities Act of any Registrable Stock of Investors pursuant to this Section 6, each Investor, severally and not jointly, hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, agents and control persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Investor and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the immediately preceding limitation, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company, its directors, officers or any of its control persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act).

(iii)                               Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6(g) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6(g), notify the indemnifying party of

25




the commencement thereof; provided, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (i) or (ii) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (i) or (ii) above.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6(g) for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(iv)                              The agreements contained in this Section 6(g) shall survive the sale of the Registrable Stock pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(v)                                 In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Section 6 is for any reason held to be unenforceable although applicable in accordance with its terms in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and expenses suffered by an indemnified party referred to herein, each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the liable selling holders (including, in each case, that of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents) on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the liable selling holders (including, in each case, that of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents) on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or by or on behalf of the selling holders, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to

26




information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (vi) of this Section 6(g), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.

(vi)                              The Company and each holder of Registrable Stock agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph (vi) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (v) above.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (vi), in the case of distributions to the public, an indemnifying holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (A) the total price at which the Registrable Stock sold by such indemnifying holder and its Affiliated indemnifying holders and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds (B) the amount of any damages which such indemnifying holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(h)                           Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder. Upon the request of any Investor, the Company will deliver to such Investor a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

(i)                               Termination of Registration Rights.  Each Investor’s entitlement to registration rights pursuant to this Section 6 shall expire as to any share of Stock upon (A) such share of Stock ceasing to be subject to this Agreement, (B) the sale of such share of Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement, (C) the sale of such share of Stock pursuant to Rule 144, or (D) the date upon which such share of Stock has been Transferred and, in connection therewith, an unlegended stock certificate for such share has been issued and the sale of such share of Stock has been permitted absent registration under the Securities Act.

(j)                               Delay of Registration.  Notwithstanding Section 13(c), no Investor shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 6.

SECTION 7.                            LEGEND ON CERTIFICATES

(a)                            Legends.  To the extent applicable, each certificate representing Stock shall bear each of the following legends until such time as the Stock represented thereby are no longer subject to the provisions hereof or at such time as Rule 144 or any similar exemption under the

(iii)                               Any legend required by the Blue Sky laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the certificate so legended.

SECTION 8.                            DURATION OF AGREEMENT

This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, except with respect to the provisions set forth in Sections 12 and 13, upon the earlier to occur of (i) the unanimous agreement of the Principal Investors and (ii) the date on which the JPMP Investors and the Apollo Investors no longer satisfy the conditions necessary to designate at least one Class A-1 Director (as defined in the Company Charter) and the Carlyle Investors, the Bain Investors and the Spectrum Investors no longer satisfy the conditions necessary to designate at least one Class L-1 Director (as defined in the Company Charter) to the Company Board, in each case, pursuant to the Company Charter as in effect at the Effective Time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as may be otherwise specified herein, in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the provisions set forth in Sections 6, 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13 shall survive.
