election to the Transferring Stockholder within 30 days after the receipt of the Sale Notice. To the extent that multiple parties wish to purchase the Transfer Shares, such parties shall be allocated the Transfer Shares on a pro rata basis relative to the number of shares of Common Stock they hold at the time of purchase.

Any Person who has the right to acquire Transfer Shares pursuant to this Section 3(b) will be given up to 30 days (after it has been determined that such Person has such right) to consummate the purchase and sale of the Transfer Shares (the “Authorization Period”). If Thayer, the other Investor Stockholders and the Company have not elected to purchase, in the aggregate, all of the Transfer Shares specified in the Sale Notice, the Transferring Stockholder may transfer the Transfer Shares specified in the Sale Notice to the transferee identified in the Sale Notice, at a price and on terms substantially similar to the transferee(s) thereof (provided that a purchase price that is at least 97.5% of the price at which the Transfer Shares were offered in the Sales Notice shall be deemed to be substantially similar), in the Sale Notice during the 90-day period immediately following the Authorization Period; provided, that the transferee(s) thereof agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. Any Transfer Shares not transferred within such 90-day period will be subject to the provisions of this Section 3(b) upon subsequent transfer.
          (c) Certain Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in Section 3 will not apply with respect to transfers of Shares to (x) an Affiliate of the transferring Investor Stockholder, (y) upon the pro rata distribution of all Shares owned by an Investor Stockholder to its owners, the limited, special and general partners or members of such Investor Stockholder, or (z) a fund managed by any of (i) the transferring Investor Stockholder, (ii) an Affiliate of the transferring Investor Stockholder, or (iii) a fund advised by an affiliated advisor of the transferring Investor Stockholder; provided that in each such case the transferee of such Shares has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Shares.
          (d) Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions on the transfer of Shares set forth in Section 3(a) and Section 3(b) will continue with respect to all Shares until the consummation of a Liquidity Event.
     4. Additional Restrictions on Transfer.
          (a) Legend. Until a Liquidity Event has occurred, the certificates representing the Common Stock held by the holders of the Shares will bear the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN A SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS, DATED AS OF MARCH __, 2007, AS AMENDED, MODIFIED, OR OTHERWISE SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT CHARGE.
          (b) Opinion of Counsel.

Without limitation as to the foregoing, the holders of Shares shall consent to and raise no objections against such transaction. If such transaction is structured as a merger or consolidation, each such holder shall waive any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation to the fullest extent permitted by law.
          (b) If Thayer wishes to exercise the right granted pursuant to Section 5(a), then Thayer must give written notice to such effect to the Investor Stockholders (a “Drag-Along Notice”) not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the date upon which the applicable transaction is scheduled to close. Each Drag-Along Notice shall (i) specify in reasonable detail all of the terms and conditions upon which such transaction is to occur (including a description of all consideration payable in connection with the transaction) and (ii) make explicit reference to this Section 5 and state that each of the holders of Shares is obligated to vote in favor of and/or sell its, his or her Shares pursuant to such transaction. Thayer and the Company shall provide to each holder of Shares copies of all material documentation relating to the proposed sale as such holder may from time to time reasonably request.
          (c) If Thayer exercises the right granted pursuant to Section 5(a), subject to compliance with the other applicable terms of this Agreement, each holder of Shares shall promptly take such actions and shall promptly execute such documents and instruments as shall be necessary and desirable to consummate the proposed transaction.
          (d) If applicable, at the closing of any such transaction, each holder of Shares shall deliver a certificate or certificates, registered in such holder’s name, properly endorsed and with all required transfer stamps, if any, representing the Shares being sold by such holder against delivery of the applicable consideration from the Buyer.
          (e) Each holder of Shares will bear its, his or her pro rata share (based upon the number of shares sold) of the reasonable costs of any sale of Shares or other transaction pursuant to this Section 5 to the extent that such costs are incurred for the benefit of substantially all of the Company’s stockholders and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. No Investor Stockholder shall be obligated to pay more than his or its pro rata amount of such costs (based on the proportion of the aggregate transaction consideration received). Costs incurred by the Investor Stockholders and the other holders of Shares (if any) on their own behalf will not be considered costs of the transaction under this Agreement.
          (f) In the event that the Investor Stockholders are required to provide any representations, warranties or indemnities in connection with a Sale of the Company (other than representations, warranties and indemnities on a several basis concerning each Investor Stockholder’s valid ownership of his or its Shares, free of all liens and encumbrances, enforceability and each Investor Stockholder’s authority, power, and right to enter into and consummate agreements relating to such Sale of the Company without violating applicable law or any other agreement), then each Investor Stockholder shall not be liable for more than his or its pro rata amount (based on the proportion of the aggregate transaction consideration received) of any liability for misrepresentation or indemnity (except in respect of such several representations and warranties) and, in any case, such liability shall not exceed the total purchase price received by such Investor Stockholder (net of broker fees) from such purchaser for his or its Shares (including the exercise price thereof), and, to the extent that an indemnification escrow has been established, such liability shall be satisfied solely out of any funds escrowed for such purpose prior to recourse against such Investor Stockholder.

10


 

          (g) If any Stockholder is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received with respect to Shares, all holders of Shares of such class will be given the same option.
          (h) The provisions of this Section 5 will terminate upon the completion of a Qualified Public Offering.
     6. Tag Rights.
          (a) If any Thayer Stockholder at any time proposes to sell or otherwise directly or indirectly transfer any Shares at that time owned by such Thayer Stockholder then, as a condition precedent thereto, such Thayer Stockholder shall afford the Investor Stockholders the right to participate in such transfer in accordance with this Section 6.
          (b) Each Thayer Stockholder shall give written notice to the Investor Stockholders (a “Notice of Transfer”) not less than 45 nor more than 60 days prior to any proposed transfer of any such Shares. Each such Notice of Transfer shall:
               (i) specify in reasonable detail (A) the number of Shares the Thayer Stockholder proposes to transfer, (B) the identity of the proposed transferee or transferees of such Shares, (C) the time within which, the price per share at which and all other terms and conditions upon which the Thayer Stockholder proposes to transfer such Shares, (including a description of all consideration payable in connection with the transfer) and (D) the percentage of the Shares then owned by the Thayer Stockholder which such Thayer Stockholder proposes to transfer to such proposed transferee or transferees;
               (ii) make explicit reference to this Section 6 and state that the right of the Investor Stockholders to participate in such transfer under this Section 6 shall expire unless exercised within 20 days after receipt of such Notice of Transfer; and
               (iii) contain an irrevocable offer by the Thayer Stockholder to the Investor Stockholders to participate in the proposed transfer to the extent provided in Section 6(c) below.
          (c) The Investor Stockholders shall each have the right to transfer to the proposed transferee or transferees that number of Shares which is equal to the Applicable Percentage (or, if any Investor Stockholder shall elect, any lesser percentage) of the number of Shares the Thayer Stockholder proposed to transfer, at the same price per share and on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the proposed transfer by the Thayer Stockholder (and, if and to the extent any Investor Stockholder shall exercise such right, then the Common Stock to be transferred by the Thayer Stockholder shall be correspondingly reduced); provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Investor Stockholders shall be obligated to indemnify the proposed transferee or transferees upon the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the indemnification given by the Thayer Stockholder in connection with such proposed transfer subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(f).
          (d) Each Investor Stockholder must notify the transferring Thayer Stockholder of any acceptances under this Section 6(d) within 20 days after receipt of the Notice of Transfer if such Investor Stockholder desires to accept such offer and to transfer any of its Shares in accordance with this Section 6. The failure of any Investor Stockholder to provide such notice within such 20 day period shall, for the purposes of this Section 6, be deemed to constitute an irrevocable waiver by that Investor Stockholder of its individual right to transfer any of its Shares in connection with the proposed transfer described in such Notice of Transfer. The transferring Thayer Stockholder shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective transferee or transferees to the participation of the Investor Stockholders, if the Investor Stockholders properly elect to participate in such proposed transfer, and Thayer shall not consummate any such proposed transfer unless the Investor Stockholders are permitted to participate in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6. The Investor Stockholders shall not be obligated to transfer any Shares pursuant to this Section 6, except to the extent that the Investor Stockholders have notified the applicable Person of the Investor Stockholders’ acceptance of the offer contained in the Notice of Transfer. Any and all transfers of Shares by the Investor Stockholders

11


 

pursuant to this Section 6 shall be subject to, and made concurrently with, the actual transfer of Common Stock by the Thayer Stockholder.
          (e) Subject to the consummation of the transfer contemplated by the Notice of Transfer, the Investor Stockholders shall take such actions and shall execute such documents and instruments as shall be reasonably necessary (and not adverse in any material respect to its interests) to consummate the proposed sale as expeditiously as is reasonably prudent.
          (f) At the closing of any such transfer, the Investor Stockholders shall deliver a certificate or certificates, registered in the Investor Stockholders’ name, properly endorsed and with all required transfer stamps, if any, representing the securities being sold by the Investor Stockholders against delivery of the applicable consideration by the proposed transferee.
          (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6, the Investor Stockholders shall not have any rights pursuant to this Section 6 to participate in any transfer by any Thayer Stockholder to any Affiliated fund of Thayer, and/or any employees or directors of Thayer or of any such Affiliate.
          (h) The Notice of Transfer contemplated by this Section 6 and the Drag-Along Notice contemplated by Section 5(b) may be combined in a single notice.
          (i) If any Stockholder is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received with respect to Shares, all holders of Shares of such class will be given the same option.
          (j) The provisions of this Section 6 will terminate upon the completion of a Qualified Public Offering.
     7. Preemptive Rights.
          (a) If at any time while an Investor Stockholder holds Shares, the Company proposes to issue, sell or grant (other than pursuant to an Exempt Issuance) any shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or other equity securities, whether now or hereafter authorized (“New Stock”), or proposes to issue, sell or grant (other than pursuant to an Exempt Issuance) any securities or instruments convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for New Stock or any options or rights to purchase any such securities or instruments (“New Securities”), then not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to consummating such transaction, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Thayer Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders (a “Preemptive Rights Notice”). Each such Preemptive Rights Notice shall:
               (i) specify in reasonable detail (A) the number and type of New Stock and/or New Securities which the Company proposes to issue or sell, and (B) the time within which, the price per share at which and all other material terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue or sell such securities; and
               (ii) make explicit reference to this Section 7 and state that the right of the Thayer Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders to purchase any of such securities pursuant to this Section 7 shall expire unless exercised within 20 days after receipt of such Preemptive Rights Notice.
          (b) Each Thayer Stockholder and Investor Stockholder shall have the right, in the nature of a preemptive right, to purchase that amount of such New Stock or New Securities, on the same terms and conditions as shall be applicable to the issue or sale of such New Stock or New Securities, as will enable each Thayer Stockholder and Investor Stockholder to maintain its fully diluted percentage ownership of securities of the Company following such issuance or sale at the level held by it immediately prior to such issuance or sale. Each Thayer Stockholder and Investor Stockholder may purchase the total amount of New Stock or New Securities to which it is entitled or any lesser amount as that Thayer Stockholder or Investor Stockholder may elect.

12


 

          (c) Each Thayer Stockholder and Investor Stockholder must notify the Company within 20 days after receipt of the Preemptive Rights Notice if such Thayer Stockholder or Investor Stockholder desires to exercise its purchase rights under this Section 7. The failure of such Thayer Stockholder or Investor Stockholder to provide such notice within such 20-day period shall, for purposes of this Section 7, be deemed to constitute an irrevocable waiver by that Thayer Stockholder or Investor Stockholder of its right to purchase any portion of the New Stock and/or New Securities specified in such Preemptive Rights Notice. The Company will not consummate any such proposed issue or sale unless the Thayer Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders electing to exercise their purchase rights under this Section 7 are permitted to purchase the securities they are entitled to pursuant to this Section 7. The Thayer Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders shall not be obligated to purchase any securities pursuant to this Section 7, except to the extent that any Thayer Stockholder or Investor Stockholder has notified the Company of the Investor Stockholder’s exercise of the preemptive rights granted in this Section 7.
          (d) The provisions of this Section 7 will terminate upon the completion of a Qualified Public Offering.
     8. Registration Rights.
          (a) Registration Request. At any time that the Shares are eligible to be registered by the filing of a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act (or any successor form thereto), Thayer, the Eos Stockholders (as a group), the ACAS Stockholders (as a group) or the Sankaty Stockholders (as a group) may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Shares (provided the amount of their Shares to be registered equals at least 1% of the then outstanding Common Stock and relates to shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of at least $1,000,000) on Form S-3 (a “Demand Registration”), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(b) below. The Company shall undertake such registration pursuant to Section 8(e) below.
          (b) Each of Thayer, the Eos Stockholders (as a group), the ACAS Stockholders (as a group) and the Sankaty Stockholders (as a group) shall be limited to a total of two (2) Demand Registrations. A Demand Registration will not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of this Section 8 unless the registration statement or preliminary or final prospectus, as the case may be, relating thereto (i) has become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) has remained effective for a period of at least 90 days (or such shorter period in which all registrable Common Stock included in such registration has actually been sold thereunder), and (iii) at least 75% of the registrable Common Stock requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Investor Stockholders are so included.
          (c) Piggyback Rights. Whenever the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act either (i) pursuant to Section 8(a), or (ii) for any underwritten sale of shares of any of the Company’s equity securities, except in the case of an initial public offering in which only primary shares are sold, the Company shall give written notice of such registration to the Thayer Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders no later than 25 days before its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). If any Thayer Stockholder or any Investor Stockholder so requests in writing within 15 days of receiving such notice, the Company shall include in any registration the Common Stock of the Thayer Stockholder and/or the Investor Stockholder requested to be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold in such registration.
          (d) Pro Rata Reduction. The Company shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(c) to so include Shares owned by the Thayer Stockholders or the Investor Stockholders to the extent the underwriter or underwriters of such securities being otherwise registered by the Company shall determine in good faith that the inclusion of such Shares would jeopardize the successful sale at the desired price of such other securities proposed to be sold by such underwriter or underwriters, in which case the Thayer Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders shall be entitled to participate in any such reduced number of shares of Common Stock (if any) which may be included in such registration on a pro rata basis in proportion to their relative holdings of shares of Shares. This Section 8(d) shall be interpreted to permit the Investor Stockholders to participate in public offerings on a pro rata basis with

13


 

Thayer and its Affiliates. In addition, the Company and Thayer shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to maximize the number of shares owned by the Thayer Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders which may be included in the registration relative to the participation of other Company stockholders.
          (e) Registration Procedures. Whenever any Thayer Stockholder or Investor Stockholder has requested that any Common Stock be registered in accordance with this Section 8, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Common Stock in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:
               (i) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Common Stock on Form S-3 and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain its effectiveness until the earlier of 90 days or the completion of the contemplated distribution of Shares; provided, however, that the Company may postpone for up to 90 days the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement (including per a Demand Registration) if the Company is in possession of material non-public information relating to a proposed financing, recapitalization, acquisition, business combination or other material transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which the Board determines in good faith would require disclosure in the registration statement by the Company of such material non-public information for which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not disclosing and disclosure of such information is not otherwise required by law;
               (ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective during the applicable distribution period;
               (iii) furnish to each Thayer Stockholder and Investor Stockholder such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as the Investor Stockholders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Common Stock owned by the Investor Stockholders;
               (iv) notify in writing Thayer, the Eos Representatives and the ACAS Representative (x) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to any comments by the SEC with respect to such registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any request by the SEC for the amending or supplementing thereof or for additional information with respect thereto, (y) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (z) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of such Common Stock for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purposes;
               (v) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Common Stock under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Investor Stockholders may reasonably request and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Investor Stockholders to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Common Stock owned by the Thayer Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders (provided that the Company shall not be required to (a) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this clause (iv), (b) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (c) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);
               (vi) notify the Thayer Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement

14


 

contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
               (vii) use its best efforts to obtain from its independent certified public accountants “cold comfort” letters in customary form and at customary times and covering matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters;
               (viii) use its best efforts to obtain from its counsel an opinion or opinions in customary form;
               (ix) provide a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity and which may be the Company) for such shares of Common Stock;
               (x) list such shares of Common Stock on any national securities exchange on which any shares of the Common Stock are listed or, if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, use its best efforts to qualify such Common Stock for inclusion on the automated quotation system of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”), or such other national securities exchange as the Board may select;
               (xi) enter into such customary agreements and take all such other actions as the holders of a majority of the Common Stock being sold reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Common Stock; and
               (xii) permit any holder of Common Stock which is reasonably likely to be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company to participate in the preparation of such registration or statement and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included.
          (f) Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Section 8, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding discounts and commissions) and other persons or entities retained by the Company (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), shall be borne by the Company, and the Company shall, in any event, pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or on the NASD automated quotation system; provided, however, that (i) all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the shares of Common Stock shall be borne by the holders selling such shares, in proportion to the number of shares sold by each such holder, and (ii) each Thayer Stockholder and Investor Stockholder shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of its legal counsel.
          (g) Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Thayer Stockholder, each Investor Stockholder, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, members, partners, and advisors and their respective Affiliates, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Investor Stockholders and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor Stockholders or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and reasonable costs of investigation) to which the Investor Stockholders or underwriter or such controlling person may be subject, under the Securities Act and state securities or blue sky laws as applicable or otherwise, insofar as any thereof arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) any registration statement under which such Thayer Stockholder’s or Investor Stockholder’s Common Stock was registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 8, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) any other document incident to the registration of the Common Stock under the

15


 

Securities Act or the qualification of the Common Stock under any state securities laws applicable to the Company, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any item referred to in the preceding clause (i) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other federal or state securities law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration or qualification; provided, however, that a Thayer Stockholder and an Investor Stockholder shall not be entitled to indemnification if and only to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of material fact or alleged untrue statement of material fact or omission to state a material fact or alleged omission to state a material fact based upon information furnished to the Company in writing by such Thayer Stockholder or Investor Stockholder for use therein (with respect to which information such Thayer Stockholder or Investor Stockholder shall so indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act); provided, further, that in no event shall the liability of a Thayer Stockholder or an Investor Stockholder exceed the net proceeds received by such Thayer Stockholder or Investor Stockholder from its sales pursuant to the registration statement.
     9. Restrictions on Certain Affiliate Transactions.
          (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any transaction with
               (i) any Affiliate or any of its Subsidiaries other than Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries; or
               (ii) Thayer or any beneficial owner which, together with its Affiliates, owns more than 10% in the aggregate of the Company’s fully diluted equity (a “10% Holder”) or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of Thayer or any 10% Holder (collectively, the “Restricted Affiliates”),
except (a) the Management Agreement, and/or (b) other transactions which are no less favorable to the Company or Subsidiary than would be obtained in comparable arms’-length transactions with non-Affiliates (provided that if any such transaction described in this clause (b) is with a Restricted Affiliate and has a transaction value of more that $1.0 million, and Investor Stockholders that then own at least a combined 3% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted basis so request, such transaction shall require the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Shares (other than the Restricted Affiliate), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
          (b) The provisions of this Section 9 will terminate upon the completion of a Qualified Public Offering.
     10. Sales/Merger/Reorganization. In the event of (i) any consolidation or merger involving the Company other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and the share ownership shall be unchanged; (ii) the disposition of all or substantially all of the capital stock or the property and assets of the Company; (iii) a capital reorganization of the Company; or (iv) a reclassification of the Common Stock, each share of stock of the same class shall receive the same form and amount of consideration as all other shares in that class of stock.
     11. Further Assurances. The Company and Thayer shall promptly inform the Investor Stockholders (i) of any amendment to any agreement the Company and/or Thayer has with the Other Stockholders that is similar to this Agreement, and (ii) of any new agreements that the Company and/or Thayer enters into with any Other Stockholder after the date hereof. Solely with regards to those provisions contained in Sections 3, 5, 6, 7 and 10 of this Agreement, if any such amendment or agreement shall contain a provision more favorable to the Other Stockholders than similar provisions contained in the aforementioned sections of this Agreement, or add new provisions related to the rights and benefits contained in the aforementioned sections of this Agreement which would otherwise benefit the Investor Stockholders, both Thayer and the Company agree, as soon a practicable, to take the

16


 

necessary actions to amend this Agreement to provide those same rights and benefits to the Investor Stockholders.

Thereupon, the Company, upon written notice to such holder, shall cancel on its books the Shares to be sold; and thereupon, all of such obligated holder’s rights in and to such Shares shall terminate.
