4.             Amendment to Section 3B.  The following sentence shall be added to the end of Section 3B (Inspection of Property):  “The right of each Purchaser under this Section 3B shall (i) terminate at such time that such Purchaser or its Affiliates no longer hold any of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) be suspended with respect to any Purchaser for such period of time as may be designated from time to time by written notice by such Purchaser to the Company.”

 

5.             Amendment to Section 3F.  The following sentence shall be added to the end of Section 3F (Amendment of Other Agreements):  “The right of the Majority Holders under this Section 3F shall terminate at such time that the GTCR Purchasers or their Affiliates hold less than 37.5% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by the GTCR Purchasers after the consummation of the Company’s Initial Public Offering.”

 

6.             New Section 3J of the Purchase Agreement.  A new Section 3J of the Purchase Agreement is hereby inserted as follows:

7.             Amendment to Section 7D.  The following sentence shall be added to the end of Section 7D (Consent to Amendments):  “The right of the Majority Holders under this Section 7D shall terminate at such time that the GTCR Purchasers or their Affiliates hold less than 37.5% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by the GTCR Purchasers after the consummation of the Company’s Initial Public Offering.”

 

8.             Effective Time.  The amendments to the Purchase Agreement contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed effective upon the consummation of the Company’s Initial Public Offering without any further action required by the parties.
