• Drag Along Right Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Holder has not exercised its Tag-Along Right with respect to the maximum number of Holder’s Shares for which such Holder is permitted (pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii)(B) above) to exercise such Tag-Along Right in respect of a Third Party Sale, then, upon the demand of any Selling Fortress Entity participating in such Third Party Sale (in each such entity’s sole discretion), such Holder shall sell to the respective Third Party the number of whole Holder’s Shares (rounded upwards or downwards, as applicable), whether or not the restrictions on Transfer of Common Stock have lapsed, equal to the product of (x) the total number of Holder’s Shares held by such Holder on the date of the Drag-Along Notice (as defined below) and (y) the Third Party Sale Percentage, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as such Selling Fortress Entity has agreed to with such Third Party; provided, however, that each such Holder shall not be permitted to sell any unvested Holder’s Shares (provided that the Company may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any unvested Holder’s Shares); provided further that such Selling Fortress Entity shall use its reasonable, good faith efforts to provide that (A) the only representation and warranty which such Holder shall be required to make in connection with the Third Party Sale is a representation and warranty with respect to such Holder’s own ownership of the Holder’s Shares to be sold by it and its ability to convey title thereto free and clear of liens, encumbrances and adverse claims and (B) the liability of such Holder with respect to any representation and warranty made in connection with the Third Party Sale is the several liability of such Holder (and not joint with any other person) and that such liability is limited to the amount of proceeds actually received by such Holder in the Third Party Sale; provided further, that a Holder shall not be obligated to participate in any Third Party Sale pursuant to this Section 2(b)(iii) unless such Holder is provided an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Third Party Sale is not in violation of applicable federal and state securities or other laws or, if such Holder is not provided with an opinion with respect to the matters contemplated by this proviso, each Selling Fortress Entity who has delivered a Drag-Along Notice to such Holder shall indemnify such Holder for any such violation. If the Third Party Sale is in the form of a merger transaction, each Holder agrees to vote its Holder’s Shares in favor of such merger and not to exercise any rights of appraisal or dissent afforded under applicable law.

• Drag-Along Rights (a) If, at any time prior to a Qualified IPO, any Investor (the “Drag-Along Seller”) secures an irrevocable offer to acquire all share capital or assets of the Company (a “Drag-Along Sale”) with a valuation of the Company of more than US$600,000,000 with any Person (such Person, a “Drag-Along Purchaser”) upon such terms and conditions as agreed to with the Drag-Along Seller, and such Drag-Along Sale is agreed by a majority vote of the other Investors and a majority vote of the Founders, each other Investor (an “Other Investor”) agrees, at the request of the Drag-Along Seller, to participate in such Drag-Along Sale as set forth in this Section 9.1. (b) If the Drag-Along Sale is structured as a sale of Shares, each Other Investor shall sell to the Drag-Along Purchaser all Shares then held by such Other Investor on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the Drag-Along Seller, including the same per-share consideration with respect to a specific class of Shares, and shall execute the necessary transfer forms in favor of the Drag-Along Purchaser; provided that the proceeds from such sale of any Round C Investors shall not be less than the higher of (i) the Series A Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Memorandum and Articles) or (ii) the purchase price as stated in the offer of the Drag-Along Purchaser pro rata based on the number of Ordinary Shares held by such Round C Investors (on an as-converted basis); provided, further, that except with respect to any liability incurred by such Other Investor individually, such Other Investor shall not be liable to a Drag-Along Purchaser for an amount greater than the proceeds from such sale. (c) If the Drag-Along Sale is structured as a merger, amalgamation or scheme of arrangement of the Company or other transaction that requires the approval of the Investors, each Investor shall vote its respective Shares (or execute and deliver any written consents in lieu thereof) in favor of any Drag-Along Sale and all actions deemed reasonably necessary by the Drag-Along Seller in connection with the Drag-Along Sale, and against any action or proposal that may prevent, hinder or impede the consummation of the Drag-Along Sale. (d) The Drag-Along Seller shall provide written notice of a proposed Drag-Along Sale to the Other Investors (a “Drag-Along Sale Notice”) not later than ten (10) days prior to such proposed Drag-Along Sale. The Drag-Along Sale Notice shall identify the Drag-Along Purchaser, the per-Ordinary Share consideration for which a transfer is proposed to be made (the “Drag-Along Sale Price”) and all other material terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Sale. Each Other Investor shall be required to participate in the Drag-Along Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in the Drag-Along Sale Notice and to tender its Shares. The price and form of consideration payable in such transfer shall be the Drag-Along Sale Price. (e) The Drag-Along Seller shall have a period of 180 days from the date of receipt of the Drag-Along Sale Notice to enter into a definitive agreement providing for the Drag-Along Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in such Drag-Along Sale Notice, which Drag-Along Sale shall be promptly consummated, subject to fulfilling any closing conditions and obtaining any required regulatory approvals. If the Drag-Along Seller has not entered into a definitive agreement providing for the Drag-Along Sale within such 180-day period and the Drag-Along Seller proposes to effect a Drag-Along Sale after such 180-day period, the Drag-Along Seller shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 9.1(e). (f) In connection with a Drag-Along Sale, each Other Investor shall (i) make such representations, warranties and covenants and enter into such definitive agreements as are customary for transactions of the nature of the Drag-Along Sale, (ii) benefit from and be subject to all of the same provisions of the definitive agreements as are applicable to the Drag-Along Seller, (iii) be required to bear its proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in respect of the purchase price or indemnification obligations; provided that an Other Investor shall only be obligated to indemnify any other Person in connection with such Drag-Along Sale severally; provided, further, that no Other Investor shall be obligated to indemnify any other shareholder for any breach or misrepresentation by such other shareholder with respect to title in such other shareholder’s equity securities, (iv) be required to bear its proportionate share of the costs and expenses incurred by the Company and the Investors in connection with the proposed transaction (whether or not consummated), including all attorney’s fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions (including, if requested by the Drag-Along Seller, an investment banking firm selected by the Drag-Along Seller and engaged, on customary terms (including customary indemnification from the Company)), to the extent not paid by the Company, and (v) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, not exercise any dissenters’ or appraisal rights to which they may be entitled in connection with a Drag-Along Sale.

• Drag-Along Notice Prior to making any Drag-Along Sale in which the Drag-Along Shareholders wish to exercise their rights under this Section 5, the Drag-Along Shareholders shall provide the Company and the Dragged Shareholders with written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) not less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of closing of the Drag-Along Sale (the “Drag-Along Sale Date”). The Drag-Along Notice shall set forth: (a) the name and address of the purchasers; (b) the proposed amount and form of consideration to be paid, and the terms and conditions of payment offered by each of the purchasers; (c) the Drag-Along Sale Date; (d) the number of shares held of record by the Drag-Along Shareholders on the date of the Drag-Along Notice which form the subject to be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of by the Drag-Along Shareholders; and (e) the number of Shares of the Dragged Shareholders to be included in the Drag-Along Sale, as applicable. In the event that the Drag-Along Sale Date does not occur within ninety (90) days after the date of the Drag-Along Notice, the shareholders of the Company shall have no obligations to sell their Shares unless they receive a new Drag-Along Notice or otherwise agree with the purchaser(s) in writing.

• Default Not Exceeding 10% of Firm Shares or Option Shares If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligations to purchase the Firm Shares or the Option Shares, if the Over-allotment Option is exercised hereunder, and if the number of the Firm Shares or Option Shares with respect to which such default relates does not exceed in the aggregate 10% of the number of Firm Shares or Option Shares that all Underwriters have agreed to purchase hereunder, then such Firm Shares or Option Shares to which the default relates shall be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder.

• Right of Refusal The proposing vendor has the right not to sell under the awarded agreement with a TIPS member at vendor's discretion unless required by law.

• Conditions Precedent to the Right of the Company to Deliver an Advance Notice The right of the Company to deliver an Advance Notice and the obligations of the Investor hereunder with respect to an Advance are subject to the satisfaction or waiver, on each Advance Notice Date (a “Condition Satisfaction Date”), of each of the following conditions:

• Tag-Along Right (a) If, at any time prior to a Qualified IPO, one or more Sponsor Members propose to Transfer, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, a number of Units representing at least 30% of the Sponsor Members' aggregate Initial Equity Stakes (as defined in the LLC Agreement) to any Person (other than a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the LLC Agreement) of any such Sponsor Member and other than a Transfer in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement and other than to another Sponsor Member) (a "Tag-Along Purchaser"), then, unless such transferring Sponsor Member(s) are entitled to give and do give a Drag-Along Sale Notice (as defined in the LLC Agreement) and no other Sponsor Member(s) has elected to purchase its pro rata share of such Units pursuant to Section 2.04(a) of the Sponsor Agreement, the Company shall first provide written notice to each of the Management Members, which notice (the "Tag-Along Notice") shall state: (i) the maximum number of Units proposed to be Transferred (the "Tag-Along Securities"); (ii) the purchase price per Unit (the "Tag-Along Price") for the Tag-Along Securities and (iii) any other material terms and conditions of such sale, including the proposed transfer date (which date will be within 60 business days after the termination of the Election Period (defined below), subject to extension for any required regulatory approvals). Each of the Management Members that has been provided with the Tag-Along Notice (each, a "Tag-Along Manager") shall have the right to sell to such Tag-Along Purchaser, upon the terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, up to the aggregate number of Units which are held by such Tag-Along Manager multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Units proposed to be sold by the transferring Sponsor Member as reflected in the Tag-Along Notice and the denominator of which is the total number of Units which are held by the transferring Sponsor Member. If the number of Units elected to be sold by the Tag-Along Managers and any other individuals identified from time to time on Exhibit A to the LLC Agreement, the transferring Sponsor Member and any other Sponsor Members electing to participate in such sale is greater than the number of Tag-Along Securities specified in the Tag-Along Notice, the number of Units being sold by each such seller shall be reduced such that the applicable seller shall be entitled to (and obligated to) sell only their pro rata share of Units (based on the aggregate number of Units held by such seller to the total number of Units held by all of such electing sellers). The transferring Sponsor Member(s), the Sponsor Members electing to participate in such sale and the Tag-Along Manager(s) exercising their rights pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall effect the sale of the Tag-Along Securities, and such Tag-Along Manager(s) shall sell the number of Tag-Along Securities required to be sold by such Tag-Along Manager(s) pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) within 60 business days after the expiration of the Election Period, subject to extension for any required regulatory approvals. (b) The tag-along rights provided by this Section 2.04 must be exercised by any Tag-Along Manager wishing to sell its Units within 10 business days following the date of delivery of the Tag-Along Notice (the "Election Period"), by delivery of a written notice to the Company indicating such Tag-Along Manager's wish to irrevocably exercise its rights and specifying the number of Units (up to the maximum number of Units owned by such Tag-Along Manager requested to be purchased by such Tag-Along Purchaser) it wishes to sell; provided that any Tag-Along Manager may waive its rights under this Section 2.04 prior to the expiration of such 10-business day period by giving written notice to the Company, which will be distributed by the Company to the transferring Sponsor Member(s). The failure of a Tag-Along Manager to respond within such 10-business day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Tag-Along Manager's rights under this Section 2.04. (c) In connection with any sale pursuant to this Section 2.04, each Tag-Along Manager shall make to the Tag-Along Purchaser the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the transferring Sponsor Member(s) makes in connection with the proposed transfer (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the transferring Sponsor Member(s), a Tag-Along Manager shall make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements); provided that all representations, warranties and indemnities shall be made by the transferring Sponsor Member(s) and such Tag-Along Manager severally and not jointly and that the liability of the transferring Sponsor Member(s) and such Tag-Along Manager thereunder shall be borne by each of them on a pro rata basis. The Tag-Along Managers shall receive the same type and amount of consideration (and rights) per Unit as is paid or delivered to the transferring Sponsor Member(s) in the sale pursuant to Section 2.04(a). (d) No Transfer of any Unit pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be effective unless and until the applicable transferee agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement.

• No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

• Default Exceeding 10% of Firm Shares or Option Shares In the event that the default addressed in Section 6.1 relates to more than 10% of the Firm Shares or Option Shares, you may in your discretion arrange for yourself or for another party or parties to purchase such Firm Shares or Option Shares to which such default relates on the terms contained herein. If, within one (1) Business Day after such default relating to more than 10% of the Firm Shares or Option Shares, you do not arrange for the purchase of such Firm Shares or Option Shares, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of one (1) Business Day within which to procure another party or parties satisfactory to you to purchase said Firm Shares or Option Shares on such terms. In the event that neither you nor the Company arrange for the purchase of the Firm Shares or Option Shares to which a default relates as provided in this Section 6, this Agreement will automatically be terminated by you or the Company without liability on the part of the Company (except as provided in Sections 3.9 and 5 hereof) or the several Underwriters (except as provided in Section 5 hereof); provided, however, that if such default occurs with respect to the Option Shares, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Shares; and provided, further, that nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the other Underwriters and to the Company for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

• Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to a Holder by the Company under this Section 1 may be transferred or assigned by a Holder only to a transferee or assignee of not less than twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of Registrable Securities (as presently constituted and subject to subsequent adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, and the like), provided that the Company is given written notice at the time of or within a reasonable time after said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and, provided further, that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of such Holder under this Section 1.
