Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.
(f) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company, Apollo, General Atlantic, the Holders, any spouses of the Holders, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and permitted successors and assigns.
(g) Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time by an instrument in writing signed by the parties having the Required Voting Percentage, provided that (i) this Agreement may be amended by the Company without the consent of any Holder to cure any ambiguity or to cure, correct or supplement any defective provisions contained herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions hereunder as the Company may deem necessary or advisable so long as such action does not affect adversely the interest of any Holder, (ii) any such amendment, supplement or modification that by its terms affects the rights or obligations of any Holder in a manner that is materially adverse and substantially different relative to other Holders shall not be enforceable against such Holder without the written consent of such Holder and (iii) the written consent of the Company shall be required, in the event that any such amendment, supplement or modification imposes a burden or obligation on the Company or adversely affects a benefit or right of the Company under this Agreement.
(h) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon: (i) the dissolution of the Company upon the vote of the Required Voting Percentage, (ii) upon the occurrence of any event which reduces the number of Holders to zero in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) the consummation of a Control Disposition or (iv) if at any time following the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, fewer than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Holdings Senior Notes issued on the date hereof remains outstanding. Any Holder who disposes of all of his, her or its Warrant Shares in conformity with the terms of this Agreement shall cease to be a party to this Agreement and shall have no further rights hereunder but shall remain subject to Section 4(c) (Confidentiality) and shall not be released from any liability incurred hereunder prior to the date it ceases to own any Warrant Shares.
32
(i) Spouses. The spouses of the individual Holders are fully aware of, understand and fully consent and agree to the provisions of this Agreement and its binding effect upon any community property interests or similar marital property interests in the Common Stock they may now or hereafter own, and agree that the termination of their marital relationship with any Holder for any reason shall not have the effect of removing any Common Stock of the Company otherwise subject to this Agreement from the coverage of this Agreement and that their awareness, understanding, consent and agreement are evidenced by their signing this Agreement. Furthermore, each individual Holder agrees to cause his or her spouse (and any subsequent spouse) to execute and deliver, upon the request of the Company, a counterpart of this Agreement, or an Adoption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A or in a form satisfactory to the Company.
(j) Specific Performance; Remedies. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer in breach of this Agreement shall be void and of no effect. In connection with any attempted Transfer in breach of this Agreement, the Company may hold and refuse to Transfer any Common Stock or any certificate therefor, in addition to and without prejudice to any and all other rights or remedies which may be available to it or the Holders. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that a remedy at law for any breach or attempted breach of this Agreement will be inadequate, agrees that each other party to this Agreement shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in case of any such breach or attempted breach and further agrees to waive (to the extent legally permissible) any legal conditions required to be met for the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief (including posting any bond in order to obtain equitable relief).
(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. The failure of any Holder to execute this Agreement does not make it invalid as against any other Holder.
(l) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, and such invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable provisions shall be null and void as to such jurisdiction. It is the intent of the parties, however, that any invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable provisions be automatically replaced by other provisions which are as similar as possible in terms to such invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable provisions but are valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law.
(m) Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all appropriate actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or appropriate, including the execution of any additional
33
documents or instruments of any kind and the taking of all such other actions as such party may reasonably be requested to take by the other party hereto from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
(n) Extensions; Waivers. No course of dealing between the Company, or its Subsidiaries, and the Holders (or any of them) or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder will operate as a waiver of any rights of any party to this Agreement. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
(o) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OR ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHT OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS ENTERED INTO IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.
(p) Registration Rights Agreement.

(q) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement set forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous agreements among all or some of the parties hereto, whether written, oral or otherwise, as to such subject matter. Unless otherwise provided herein, any consent required by the Company may be withheld by the Company in its sole discretion.
(r) Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
(s) Adjustments. If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or subdivision or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution, merger or other similar transaction affecting shares of Common Stock or such securities, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to the Common Stock or such securities as so changed.
34
(t) No Recourse.
