Each New Class A Stockholder further acknowledges and agrees that none of the Company and/or the Sponsor Stockholders shall have any liability to such New Class A Stockholder arising from, relating to or in connection with the restrictions on transfer of DTI Securities or any interest in DTI Securities as set forth in this ARTICLE III, except to the extent the Company or any Sponsor Stockholder fails to comply with its obligations to such New Class A Stockholder pursuant to this ARTICLE III.
Section 3.2. Specified Restrictions on Transfers.
(a) Restrictions on Transfers During Restricted Period. Until the consummation of an IPO (and subject to any applicable lock-up or no transfer period in connection with such IPO) (the “Restricted Period”), no New Class A Stockholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Permitted Transferees of a New Class A Stockholder) may transfer any DTI Securities without the prior written consent of the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders, except the following transfers, in each case conducted in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Organizational Documents of the Company:
(i) transfers of Shares pursuant to the “tag-along” rights of the New Class A Stockholders under Section 3.4 in respect of any Tag-Along Sale transaction (in each case, subject to the “tag-along” rights of the other New Class A Stockholders under Section 3.4);
(ii) transfers of Shares pursuant to the “drag-along” rights pursuant to Section 3.5 in connection with a Drag-Along Sale transaction; and

(i) transfer any DTI Securities, except transfers of DTI Securities in compliance with Section 3.1 and Section 3.6; or
(ii) tender or otherwise transfer any DTI Securities pursuant to, under or in respect of any liquidity or similar program established, maintained or offered for the benefit of or to the employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries.
Section 3.3. Permitted Transfers. Subject to compliance with any applicable provisions of the Organizational Documents of the Company, each New Class A Stockholder may transfer DTI Securities that are held by him, her or it to a Permitted Transferee of such New Class A Stockholder without complying with the provisions of this ARTICLE III, other than Section 3.1; provided, that (i) such Permitted Transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Company a Joinder Agreement as contemplated in Section 3.1(a) and ARTICLE V, or otherwise agreed with the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders, in a written instrument reasonably satisfactory to the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders, that he, she or it will immediately convey record and beneficial ownership of all such DTI Securities, and all rights
14
and obligations hereunder to such New Class A Stockholder or another Permitted Transferee of such New Class A Stockholder if, and immediately prior to such time that, he, she or it ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such New Class A Stockholder and (ii) in the case of a transfer of DTI Securities to a natural person, such natural person’s spouse executes and delivers to the Company a Joinder Agreement and a Spousal Consent as contemplated in Section 3.1(a).
Section 3.4. Tag-Along Rights.
(a) Subject to Section 3.4(g), if any Initiating Tag-Along Seller enters into one or a series of related transactions (including any merger or consolidation) involving the sale, transfer, exchange or conversion of a majority of their issued and outstanding DTI Securities to any Person (other than one or more Affiliates or Permitted Transferees of such Initiating Tag-Along Seller) (a “Tag-Along Sale”), then the Initiating Tag-Along Seller shall give, or direct the Company to give and the Company shall so promptly give, written notice (a “Tag-Along Sale Notice”) of such proposed transfer to all Eligible Tag-Along Sellers with respect to such Tag-Along Sale at least fifteen (15) days prior to each of the consummation of such proposed transfer and the delivery of a Tag-Along Sale Notice setting forth (i) the number and type of each class of DTI Securities proposed to be transferred, (ii) the consideration to be received for such DTI Securities by such Initiating Tag-Along Seller, (iii) the identity of the purchaser (the “Tag-Along Buyer”), (iv) a detailed summary of all material terms and conditions of the proposed transfer, (v) the fraction, expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of DTI Securities to be purchased from the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees by the total number of DTI Securities held by such Initiating Tag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees (the “Tag-Along Sale Percentage”) and (vi) an invitation to each Eligible Tag-Along Seller to irrevocably agree to include in the Tag-Along Sale up to a number of DTI Securities held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller equal to the product of the total number of DTI Securities held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller multiplied by the Tag-Along Sale Percentage (such amount of DTI Securities with respect to each Eligible Tag-Along Seller, such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s “Tag-Along Shares”). In the event that more than one Stockholder proposes to execute a Tag-Along Sale as an Initiating Tag-Along Seller, then all such transferring Stockholders shall be treated as the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, and the DTI Securities held and to be transferred by such Stockholders shall be aggregated as set forth in Section 6.15, including for purposes of calculating the applicable Tag-Along Sale Percentage. If the Initiating Tag-Along Seller is transferring DTI Common Stock or vested in-the-money Company Stock Options in such Tag-Along Sale, each Eligible Tag-Along Seller shall be entitled to transfer the same proportion of DTI Securities held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller as the proportion of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller’s DTI Common Stock and vested in-the-money Company Stock Options being sold by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale, relative to the total number of all such DTI Securities held by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller (with each vested in-the-money Company Stock Option counting as a share of DTI Common Stock for purposes of the foregoing calculation).
(b) Upon delivery of a Tag-Along Sale Notice, each Eligible Tag-Along Seller may elect to include all or a portion of such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares in such Tag-Along Sale (Eligible Tag-Along Sellers who make such an election being an “Electing Tag-Along Seller” and, together with the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and all other Persons (other than any Affiliates of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller) who otherwise are
15
transferring, or have exercised a contractual or other right to transfer, DTI Securities in connection with such Tag-Along Sale, the “Tag-Along Sellers”), at the same price per DTI Security (it being understood that all classes or series of DTI Common Stock shall be at the same price per share) and pursuant to the same terms and conditions as agreed to by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and otherwise in accordance with this Section 3.4, by sending an irrevocable written notice (a “Tag-Along Participation Notice”) to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller within fifteen (15) days of the date the Tag-Along Sale Notice is received by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller, indicating such Electing Tag-Along Seller’s irrevocable election, subject to Section 3.4(c), to include its Tag-Along Shares in the Tag-Along Sale. Following such fifteen (15) day period, the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and the Tag-Along Sellers may consummate the Tag-Along Sale by (i) first offering to sell to the Tag-Along Buyer the number of DTI Securities indicated in the Tag-Along Sale Notice plus the number of DTI Securities indicated in the Tag-Along Participation Notices, or (ii) if the proposed Tag-Along Buyer shall not agree to purchase the number of DTI Securities described in clause (i) hereto, selling to the Tag-Along Buyer a number of DTI Securities reduced pro rata (based on the total number of DTI Securities such Initiating Tag-Along Seller or Electing Tag-Along Seller elected to include in the Tag-Along Sale relative to all DTI Securities proposed to be included in such Tag-Along Sale). Subject to the preceding sentence, each Electing Tag-Along Seller that has delivered a Tag-Along Participation Notice shall be entitled to sell to such Tag-Along Buyer on the same terms and conditions as and, concurrently with, the other Electing Tag-Along Sellers and the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, such Electing Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares, which terms and conditions have been set forth in the Tag-Along Sale Notice. Each Eligible Tag-Along Seller who does not deliver a Tag-Along Participation Notice within such fifteen (15) day period shall have waived and be deemed to have waived all of such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s rights with respect to such Tag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that in order to be entitled to exercise its right to include Tag-Along Shares in a Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 3.4, each Electing Tag-Along Seller must agree to make the same representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements to the Tag-Along Buyer as made by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and any Electing Tag-Along Seller in connection with the Tag-Along Sale (and shall be subject to the same escrow or other holdback arrangements as such Persons so long as such escrows or other holdbacks are proportionately based on the amount of consideration received for the sale of DTI Securities in such Tag-Along Sale transaction); provided, that:
(i) each Electing Tag-Along Seller shall be entitled to receive its pro rata portion (based on the relative amount (and taking into account the per share equivalent of DTI Common Stock) of DTI Securities sold in such Tag-Along Sale transaction) of any deferred consideration or indemnification payments relating to such Tag-Along Sale (provided, however, that, with respect to any unexercised Company Stock Options proposed to be transferred in such Tag-Along Sale by any Tag-Along Seller, the per share consideration in respect thereof shall be reduced by the exercise price of such options or, if required pursuant to the terms of such options or such Tag-Along Sale, such Tag-Along Seller must exercise the relevant option and transfer the relevant shares of DTI Common Stock (rather than the option) (in each case, net of any amounts required to be withheld by the Company in connection with such exercise));
16
(ii) the aggregate amount of liability of each Electing Tag-Along Seller shall not exceed the proceeds received by such Electing Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale;
(iii) all indemnification obligations (other than with respect to the matters referenced in Section 3.4(b)(iv)) shall be on a several and not joint basis to the Tag-Along Sellers pro rata (based on the amount of consideration received by each Tag-Along Seller in the Tag-Along Sale transaction); and
(iv) no Electing Tag-Along Seller shall be responsible for any indemnification obligations and/or liabilities (including through escrow or hold back arrangements) for (A) breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties made with respect to any other Tag-Along Seller’s (1) ownership of and title to DTI Securities, (2) organization and authority or (3) conflicts and consents and any other matter concerning such other Tag-Along Seller and/or (B) breaches of any covenant specifically relating to any other Tag-Along Seller.
(c) Notwithstanding the delivery of any Tag-Along Sale Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any Tag-Along Sale and as to the timing, manner, price and, subject to Section 3.4(b)(i) through (iv), other terms and conditions of any such Tag-Along Sale shall be at the sole discretion of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, and none of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall have any liability to any Electing Tag-Along Seller arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Tag-Along Sale except to the extent such Initiating Tag-Along Seller failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.4; provided, that (i) if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller agrees to amend, restate, modify or supplement the terms and/or conditions of the Tag-Along Sale after such time that any Stockholder has elected to be an Electing Tag-Along Seller in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.4, the Initiating Tag-Along Seller shall promptly notify the Company and each Electing Tag-Along Seller of such amendment, restatement, modification and/or supplement and (ii) each such Electing Tag-Along Seller shall have the right to withdraw its Tag-Along Participation Notice by delivering written notice of such withdrawal to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller within five (5) Business Days of the date of receipt of such notice from the Initiating Tag-Along Seller.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4 to the contrary, this Section 3.4 shall not apply to (i) any transfers of DTI Securities to a Permitted Transferee of the transferring Stockholder, (ii) any transfers of DTI Securities by the Sponsor Stockholders and/or their Permitted Transferees pursuant to Section 3.5 of this Agreement and/or (iii) any transfer of DTI Common Stock in a registered public offering.
(e) All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Sponsor Stockholders and any Tag-Along Sellers in connection with such Tag-Along Sale shall be allocated and borne on a pro rata basis by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and each Tag-Along Seller in accordance with the amount of consideration otherwise received by such Initiating Tag-Along Seller or Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that this Section 3.4(e) shall
17
not prevent any Tag-Along Sale to be structured in a manner such that some or all of the such costs and expenses result in a pro rata reduction in the consideration received by the Tag-Along Sellers in such Tag-Along Sale.
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller has not completed the proposed Tag-Along Sale within one hundred twenty (120) days following delivery of the Tag-Along Sale Notice in accordance with this Section 3.4, the Initiating Tag-Along Seller may not then effect such proposed Tag-Along Sale without again complying with the provisions of this Section 3.4; provided, that if such proposed Tag-Along Sale is subject to, and conditioned on, one or more prior regulatory approvals, then such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended solely to the extent necessary until no later than the expiration of ten (10) days after all such approvals shall have been received.
(g) This Section 3.4 automatically terminates without any further action upon an IPO.
Section 3.5. Drag-Along Rights.
(a) Subject to Section 3.5(g), an Initiating Drag-Along Seller shall be entitled to give, or direct the Company to give and if so directed by the Initiating Drag-Along Seller the Company shall so promptly give, written notice (a “Drag-Along Sale Notice”) to the New Class A Stockholders that such Initiating Drag-Along Seller or the Company has entered into one or a series of related transactions (including any merger or consolidation) involving the sale, transfer, exchange or conversion of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the DTI Common Stock to any Person (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, one or more Affiliates or Permitted Transferees of such Initiating Drag-Along Seller) (a “Drag-Along Sale”), and that such Initiating Drag-Along Seller is requiring the New Class A Stockholders (all New Class A Stockholders participating in a Drag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 3.5, the “Dragged-Along Sellers,” together with the Initiating Drag-Along Seller and all other Persons (other than any Affiliates of the Initiating Drag-Along Seller) who otherwise are transferring, have a contractual obligation to transfer, or have exercised a contractual or other right to transfer, DTI Securities in connection with such Drag-Along Sale, the “Drag-Along Sellers”) to participate, agree and take such actions reasonably necessary to sell in such Drag-Along Sale, on the same price per share equivalent of DTI Common Stock, consideration, terms and conditions as the Initiating Drag-Along Seller and in the manner set forth in this Section 3.5, a number of DTI Securities held by such Dragged-Along Seller determined by multiplying (A) the number of DTI Securities held by such Dragged-Along Sellers at the time the Drag-Along Sale notice for such Drag-Along Sale is given, by (B) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of DTI Securities to be transferred by the Initiating Drag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees in such Drag-Along Sale and the denominator of which is the total number of DTI Securities held at such time by the Initiating Drag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees (such fraction, the “Drag-Along Sale Percentage”). The Drag-Along Sale Notice shall be delivered to all Dragged-Along Sellers at least fifteen (15) days prior to each of the consummation of such Drag-Along Sale and the delivery of a Drag-Along Sale Notice setting forth (i) the number and type of each class of DTI Securities proposed to be transferred, (ii) the consideration to be received for such DTI Securities, (iii) the identity of the other Person(s) party to the Drag-Along Sale, (iv) a detailed
18
summary of all material terms and conditions of the proposed transfer, (v) the Drag-Along Sale Percentage, (vi) the date of the anticipated completion of the proposed Drag-Along Sale (which date shall not be less than fifteen (15) days after the delivery of such notice) and (vii) any action or actions required of the Dragged-Along Sellers in connection with the Drag-Along Sale. In the event that more than one MD Stockholder and/or more than one SLP Stockholder is the Initiating Drag-Along Seller, then all such transferring MD Stockholders and/or SLP Stockholders, as the case may be, shall be treated as the Initiating Drag-Along Seller, and the DTI Securities held and to be transferred by such MD Stockholders and/or SLP Stockholders, as the case may be, shall be aggregated as set forth in Section 6.15, including for purposes of calculating the applicable Drag-Along Sale Percentage. If the MD Stockholders and MSD Partners Stockholders are transferring some, but not all of their DTI Common Stock or vested in-the-money Company Stock Options in any Drag-Along Sale, each of the New Class A Stockholders shall be entitled to transfer the same proportion of the DTI Securities it holds as the proportion, in the aggregate, of the MD Stockholders’ and the MSD Partners Stockholders’ DTI Common Stock and vested in-the-money Company Stock Options being sold by the MD Stockholders and the MSD Partners Stockholders in such Drag-Along Sale, relative to the total number of all such DTI Securities held by the MD Stockholders and the MSD Partners Stockholders (with each vested in-the-money Company Stock Option counting as a share of DTI Common Stock for purposes of the foregoing calculation).
(b) Upon delivery of a Drag-Along Sale Notice, all Dragged-Along Sellers participating in a Drag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be required to agree to make the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the applicable Initiating Drag-Along Seller and all other Drag-Along Sellers in such Drag-Along Sale (and shall be subject to the same escrow or other holdback arrangements as such Persons so long as such escrows or other holdbacks are proportionately based on the amount of consideration received for the sale of DTI Securities in such Drag-Along Sale transaction); provided, that:
(i) each Dragged-Along Seller shall be entitled to receive its pro rata portion (based on the relative amount (and taking into account the per share equivalent of DTI Common Stock) of DTI Securities sold in such Drag-Along Sale transaction) of any deferred consideration or indemnification payments relating to such Drag-Along Sale transaction (provided, however, that, with respect to any unexercised Company Stock Options proposed to be transferred in such Drag-Along Sale by any Drag-Along Seller, the per share consideration in respect thereof shall be reduced by the exercise price of such options or, if required pursuant to the terms of such options or such Drag-Along Sale, such Drag-Along Seller must exercise the relevant option and transfer the relevant shares of DTI Common Stock (rather than the option) (in each case, net of any amounts required to be withheld by the Company in connection with such exercise));
(ii) the aggregate amount of liability of each Dragged-Along Seller shall not exceed the proceeds received by such Dragged-Along Seller in such Drag-Along Sale;
(iii) all indemnification obligations (other than with respect to the matters referenced in Section 3.5(b)(iv)) shall be on a several and not joint basis to the Drag-Along Sellers pro rata (based on the amount of consideration received by each Drag-Along Seller in the Drag-Along Sale transaction); and
(iv) no Dragged-Along Seller shall be responsible for any indemnification obligations and/or liabilities (including through escrow or hold back arrangements) for (A) breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties made with respect to any other Drag-Along Seller’s (1) ownership of and title to equity securities, (2) organization and authority or (3) conflicts and consents and any other matter concerning such other Drag-Along Seller and/or (B) breaches of any covenant specifically relating to any other Drag-Along Sellers.

(i) (A) sign a written resolution voting all of such Dragged-Along Seller’s voting DTI Securities in favor of such Drag-Along Sale (if such a vote is required) or (B) at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders or at any other meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof, in each case to the extent that such Dragged-Along Seller’s DTI Securities are entitled to vote thereon, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of the stockholders of the Company is sought, (x) appear at each meeting of stockholders or otherwise cause all of the voting DTI Securities beneficially owned by such Dragged-Along Seller as of the applicable record date to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (y) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of such Dragged-Along Seller’s voting DTI Securities as of the applicable record date in favor of such Drag-Along Sale (if such a vote is required); and
(ii) take or cause to be taken all such actions as are reasonably required or necessary in order to facilitate and consummate expeditiously such Drag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 3.5, including (A) executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments and (B) filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities.

20
accordance with the terms of this Section 3.5, the Initiating Drag-Along Seller shall promptly notify the Company and cause to be delivered to each Dragged-Along Seller a revised Drag-Along Sale Notice containing all of the items required of a Drag-Along Sale Notice as set forth in Section 3.5(a) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of such Drag-Along Sale.
(e) All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of the Sponsor Stockholders and their Permitted Transferees and any Drag-Along Sellers and their Permitted Transferees in connection with a Drag-Along Sale shall either be (i) borne in full by the Company or (ii) if the Company determines not to bear in full such costs and expenses, allocated and borne on a pro rata basis by each Drag-Along Seller in accordance with the amount of consideration otherwise received by each Drag-Along Seller in such Drag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that this Section 3.5(e) shall not prevent any Drag-Along Sale to be structured in a manner such that some or all of the such costs and expenses result in a pro rata reduction in the consideration received by the Drag-Along Sellers in such Drag-Along Sale.
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Initiating Drag-Along Seller has not completed the proposed Drag-Along Sale within one hundred eighty (180) days following delivery of the Drag-Along Sale Notice in accordance with this Section 3.5, then such Drag-Along Sale Notice shall be null and void, each Dragged-Along Seller shall be released from its obligations under such Drag-Along Sale Notice and it shall be necessary for a separate Drag-Along Sale Notice to be furnished by the Initiating Drag-Along Seller, and the other terms and provisions of this Section 3.5 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Drag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 3.5; provided, that if such proposed Drag-Along Sale is subject to, and conditioned on, one or more prior regulatory approvals, then such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended solely to the extent necessary until no later than the expiration of ten (10) days after all such approvals shall have been received.
(g) This Section 3.5 automatically terminates without any further action upon an IPO.

ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 6.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the applicable Subscription Agreement) constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the DTI Securities owned by the New Class A Stockholders and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding, agreement or statement of intent, in each case, written or oral, of any and every nature with respect thereto. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any document executed or delivered to effect the purposes of this Agreement, including the Organizational Documents of any Person, this Agreement shall govern as among the parties hereto. Each of the parties hereto shall exercise all voting and other rights and powers available to it so as to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and, if necessary, to procure (so far as it is able to do so) any required amendment to the Company’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents, in order to cure any such inconsistency.
Section 6.2. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and that, in the event of breach by any party, damages would not be an adequate remedy and each of the other parties shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. The parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief.
Section 6.3. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws.
24
Section 6.4. Submissions to Jurisdictions; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably acknowledges and consents that any legal action or proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to and accepts with regard to any such action or proceeding, for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware). Each party hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) lacks jurisdiction over such party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby brought in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such party.
(b) Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any legal action or proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party, at its address for notices as provided in Section 6.12 of this Agreement, such service to become effective ten (10) days after such mailing. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other documents contemplated hereby, that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Subject to Section 6.4(c), the foregoing shall not limit the rights of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. The foregoing consents to jurisdiction shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware for any purpose except as provided above and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the respective parties to this Agreement.
(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right it may have under the laws of any jurisdiction to commence by publication any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations under or relating to this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives the objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) is not a convenient forum for any such suit, action or proceeding.
25
(d) The parties hereto agree that any judgment obtained by any party hereto or its successors or assigns in any action, suit or proceeding referred to above may, in the discretion of such party (or its successors or assigns), be enforced in any jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(e) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.4(e).
Section 6.5. Obligations. All obligations hereunder shall be satisfied in full without set-off, defense or counterclaim.
Section 6.6. Consents, Approvals and Actions.
(a) MD Stockholders. All actions required to be taken by, or approvals or consents of, the MD Stockholders under this Agreement shall be taken by consent or approval by, or agreement of, MD or his permitted assignee; provided, that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Disabling Event, such approval or consent shall be taken by consent or approval by, or agreement of, the holders of a majority of the DTI Common Stock held by the MD Stockholders, and in each case, such consent, approval or agreement shall constitute the necessary action, approval or consent by the MD Stockholders.
(b) SLP Stockholders. All actions required to be taken by, or approvals or consents of, the SLP Stockholders under this Agreement shall be taken by consent or approval by, or agreement of, the holders of a majority of the DTI Common Stock held by the SLP Stockholders, and in each case, such consent, approval or agreement shall constitute the necessary action, approval or consent by the SLP Stockholders.
(c) MSD Partners Stockholders. All actions required to be taken by, or approvals or consents of, the MSD Partners Stockholders under this Agreement shall be taken by consent or approval by, or agreement of, the holders of a majority of the DTI Common Stock held by the MSD Partners Stockholders, and such consent, approval or agreement shall constitute the necessary action, approval or consent by the MSD Partners Stockholders.
Section 6.7. Amendment; Waiver.
(a) Except as set forth below, any amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall require the prior written approval of the Company, the MD
26
Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders; provided, (i) that if the express terms of any such amendment or modification disproportionately and materially adversely affect one or more New Class A Stockholders relative to the Sponsor Stockholders or any other New Class A Stockholder, it shall require the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the DTI Securities held by such affected New Class A Stockholders in the aggregate and (ii) if the express terms of any such amendment or modification disproportionately and materially adversely affect the MSD Partners Stockholders relative to the other Sponsor Stockholders, it shall require the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the DTI Securities held by the MSD Partners Stockholders in the aggregate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the foregoing proviso shall not apply with respect to (x) subject to compliance with Section 3.5, amendments or modifications in connection with, and subject to the consummation of, any Drag-Along Sale, (y) subject to compliance with Section 4.3, amendments or modifications in connection with any IPO and (z) in the case of New Class A Stockholders, amendments or modifications that do not apply to New Class A Stockholders and, in the case of the MSD Partners Stockholders, amendments or modifications that do not apply to the MSD Partners Stockholders, (ii) any addition of a transferee of DTI Securities or a recipient of DTI Securities as a party hereto pursuant to ARTICLE V shall not constitute an amendment or modification hereto and the applicable Joinder Agreement need be signed only by the Company and such transferee or recipient and (iii) the Company shall promptly amend the books and records of the Company appropriately as and to the extent necessary to reflect the removal or addition of a New Class A Stockholder, any changes in the amount and/or type of DTI Securities beneficially owned by each New Class A Stockholder and/or the addition of a transferee of DTI Securities or a recipient of any DTI Securities, in each case, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Any failure by the Company or a Sponsor Stockholder at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed a waiver of such provision or any other provisions hereof. The waiver by the Company or a Sponsor Stockholder of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of the Company or a Sponsor Stockholder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by the Company or a Sponsor Stockholder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
Section 6.8. Assignment of Rights By New Class A Stockholders. No New Class A Stockholder may assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement except with the prior consent of the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders. Any purported assignment of rights or obligations under this Agreement in derogation of this Section 6.8 shall be null and void.
Section 6.9. Binding Effect. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties’ successors and permitted assigns.
27
Section 6.10. Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 6.13 (which will be for the benefit of the Persons set forth therein, and any such Person will have the rights provided for therein), this Agreement does not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any Person that is not a party hereto, and it does not create or establish any third party beneficiary hereto.
Section 6.11. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate only (i) by written consent of the MD Stockholders (for so long as the MD Stockholders own DTI Securities), the SLP Stockholders (for so long as the SLP Stockholders own DTI Securities) and the holders of a majority of the DTI Securities held by all of the New Class A Stockholders, (ii) upon the consummation of a Drag-Along Sale or (iii) upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.
