(b) Tag-Along.

3.2.5. Other Private Transfers. In addition to any Transfers made in accordance with Sections 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.3 and 3.2.4, any Stockholder may Transfer any or all of such Stockholder’s Shares (other than to a Permitted Transferee) subject to compliance with all of the following conditions in respect of each Transfer:

- 11 -

in the same capacity, as the Person that Transfers such Shares to such transferee; provided that only a Permitted Transferee of a Sponsor will be deemed to be a Sponsor for purposes of this Agreement (and shall be deemed to be the same Sponsor as the Sponsor which Transferred to it); and provided further that only a Permitted Transferee of an Investor will be deemed to be an Investor for purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any transferee receiving Shares in a Transfer pursuant to Section 3.2.4(b) (in a Transfer occurring prior to an Initial Public Offering) or 3.2.5(a), (b), or (e) that is not a Sponsor or a Permitted Transferee of a Sponsor will become a party to this Agreement without the benefit of the right to designate board and committee members, or to approve certain actions of the Company and its Subsidiaries, under Section 2, and without the benefit of the rights of First Offer Holders (Section 4.3), or Participation Offerees (Section 5).

3.4 Restrictions on Public Transfers under Rule 144. After the Initial Public Offering, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.2.2, if any Stockholders’ sales of Shares pursuant to Rule 144 would be subject to aggregation (each such Stockholder whose Shares would be subject to aggregation, a “Related Holder”), then each such Related Holder shall promptly notify each other Related Holder (a) when it has commenced a measurement period for purposes of the Rule 144 group volume limit in connection with a Sale that is subject to such limit and (b) what the volume limit for that measurement period, determined as of its commencement, will be Subject to Section 3.2.2, each Related Holder shall be entitled to effect Sales that are subject to the Rule 144 group volume limit pro rata during the applicable measurement period based on its percentage ownership of Shares held by all such Related Holders at the start of such measurement period. In the event any Related Holder agrees to forego its full pro rata share of the Rule 144 group volume limit by written notice to all other Related Holders, the remainder shall be re-allocated pro rata among the other Related Holders in like manner (except that the Shares held by such forfeiting Related Holder at the start of such measurement period shall be excluded from such calculation). The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall not apply to any Transfer of Shares (x) in a Public Offering or (y) not subject to volume limitation under Rule 144.

3.5 Restrictions on Transfers to Strategic Investors. In addition to any other provision of this Agreement, no Stockholder shall Transfer any Shares pursuant to Section 3.2.1 or 3.2.5 of this Agreement to a Strategic Investor without Majority Sponsor Approval; provided, however, that the restrictions in this Section 3.5 shall not apply to any Transfers (a) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) to any Sponsor, (c) to any Affiliated Fund of any Sponsor, (d) pursuant to Rule 144 effected as “brokers’ transactions” (as defined in Rule 144); or (e) pursuant to an underwritten Public Offering or, following the Initial Public Offering, in any transaction in which, to the knowledge of the Prospective Selling Stockholder (after reasonable inquiry), none of the purchaser(s), underwriter(s), if any, nor market maker(s), if any, are acquiring such Shares for the intended purpose of reselling such Shares to any Strategic Investor that, after giving effect to such resale (if applicable), would own, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of then outstanding shares of the applicable class of Shares.

- 12 -

3.6 Impermissible Transfer. Any attempted Transfer of Shares not permitted under the terms of this Section 3 shall be null and void, and the Company shall not in any way give effect to any such impermissible Transfer.

3.7 Notice of Transfer. To the extent any Stockholder or Permitted Transferee shall Transfer any Shares, such Stockholder or Permitted Transferee shall, within three (3) Business Days following consummation of such Transfer, deliver notice thereof to the Company and each Investor.

3.8 Period. Each of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 shall expire upon a Change in Control that has been approved by Requisite Sponsor Approval.

4. “TAG ALONG” AND “DRAG ALONG” RIGHTS; RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.

4.1 Tag Along. Subject to prior compliance with Section 4.3, if applicable, if any Prospective Selling Stockholder proposes to Sell any Shares to any Prospective Buyer(s) that is not a Permitted Transferee (including a First Offer Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.3) in a Transfer that is subject to Section 3.2.5 (excluding Sales pursuant to Section 3.2.5(e)) or, subject to Section 4.1.8, Section 3.2.2:

4.1.1. Notice. The Prospective Selling Stockholder shall, prior to any such proposed Transfer, deliver a written notice (the “Tag Along Notice”) to each Stockholder and to the Company (which will deliver such Tag Along Notice to each Management Stockholder entitled to participate in such proposed Transfer under the terms of the Management Stockholders Addendum) (each Stockholder and each such Management Stockholder, a “Tag Along Holder”). The Tag Along Notice shall include:

(a) the principal terms and conditions of the proposed Sale, including (i) the number and class of the Shares to be purchased from the Prospective Selling Stockholder, (ii) the fraction(s) expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of Shares of each class to be purchased from the Prospective Selling Stockholder by the total number of Shares of each such class held by the Prospective Selling Stockholder (for each class, the “Tag Along Sale Percentage”) (it being understood that the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Prospective Selling Stockholder in respect of the determination of each applicable Tag Along Sale Percentage), (iii) the per share purchase price or the formula by which such price is to be determined and the payment terms, including a description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit valuation thereof, (iv) the name and address of each Prospective Buyer and (v) the proposed Transfer date; and

(b) an invitation to each Tag Along Holder to make an offer to include in the proposed Sale to the applicable Prospective Buyer(s) Shares of the same class(es) being sold by the Prospective Selling Stockholder held by such Tag Along Holder (not in any event to exceed the Tag Along Sale Percentage of the

- 13 -

total number of Shares of the applicable class held by such Tag Along Holder), on the same terms and conditions (subject to Section 4.4.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities and subject to Section 4.4.1 under all circumstances), with respect to each Share Sold, as the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall Sell each of its Shares. For purposes of this Section 4.1, but subject to Section 4.4.4, all Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities will be treated as the same class of Shares for which they may be exercised.

4.1.2. Exercise. Within ten (or five, if the proposed Transfer is also the subject of a currently effective Sale Notice under Section 4.3) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Tag Along Notice (such date the “Tag Along Deadline”), each Tag Along Holder desiring to make an offer to include Shares in the proposed Sale (each a “Participating Seller” and, together with the Prospective Selling Stockholder and any other stockholders of the Company entitled to participate in the proposed Transfer, collectively, the “Tag Along Sellers”) shall deliver a written notice (the “Tag Along Offer”) to the Prospective Selling Stockholder indicating the number of Shares which such Participating Seller desires to have included in the proposed Sale (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 4.1.1 (b)). Each Tag Along Holder who does not make a Tag Along Offer in compliance with the above requirements, including the time period, shall be deemed to have waived all of such holder’s rights to participate in such Sale, and the Tag Along Sellers shall thereafter be free to Sell to the Prospective Buyer, at a per share price no greater than the per share price set forth in the Tag Along Notice and on other terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to the Tag Along Sellers than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice, without any further obligation to such non-accepting Tag Along Holder(s) pursuant to this Section 4.1.

4.1.3. Irrevocable Offer. The offer of each Participating Seller contained in such holder’s Tag Along Offer shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, such Participating Seller shall be bound and obligated to Sell in the proposed Sale on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each Share Sold (subject to Section 4.4.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities), as the Prospective Selling Stockholder, up to such number of Shares as such Participating Seller shall have specified in such holder’s Tag Along Offer; provided, however, that if the principal terms of the proposed Sale change with the result that the per share price shall be less than the per share price set forth in the Tag Along Notice or the other terms and conditions shall be materially less favorable to the Tag Along Sellers than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice, the Prospective Seller shall provide written notice thereof to each Participating Seller and each Participating Seller shall be permitted to withdraw the offer contained in such holder’s Tag Along Offer by written notice to the Prospective Selling Stockholder within three (3) Business Days after delivery of such written notice from the Prospective Selling Stockholder and upon such withdrawal shall be released from such holder’s obligations thereunder.

4.1.4. Reduction of Shares Sold. The Prospective Selling Stockholder shall attempt to obtain the inclusion in the proposed Sale of the entire number of Shares which each of the Tag Along Sellers requested to have included in the Sale (as evidenced in the case of the Prospective Selling Stockholder by the Tag Along Notice and in the case of

- 14 -

each Participating Seller by such Participating Seller’s Tag Along Offer). In the event the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall be unable to obtain the inclusion of such entire number of Shares in the proposed Sale, the number of Shares to be sold in the proposed Sale shall be allocated among the Tag Along Sellers in proportion, as nearly as practicable, as follows:

(a) there shall be first allocated to each Tag Along Seller a number of Shares equal to the lesser of (i) the number of Shares of the applicable class offered (or proposed, in the case of the Prospective Selling Stockholder) to be included by such Tag Along Seller in the proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4.1, and (ii) a number of Shares equal to such Tag Along Seller’s Pro Rata Portion; and

(b) the balance, if any, not allocated pursuant to clause (a) above shall be allocated to the Prospective Selling Stockholder and each other Tag Along Seller which offered to sell a number of Shares of the applicable class in excess of such Person’s Pro Rata Portion, pro rata to each Tag Along Seller based upon the amount of such excess, or in such manner as the Tag Along Sellers may otherwise agree.

4.1.5. Additional Compliance. If, prior to consummation, the terms of the proposed Sale shall change with the result that the per share price to be paid in such proposed Sale shall be greater than the per share price set forth in the Tag Along Notice or the other terms of such proposed Sale shall be materially more favorable to the Tag Along Sellers than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice, the Tag Along Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Tag Along Notice to be delivered, and the terms and provisions of this Section 4.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4.1; provided, however, that in the case of such a separate Tag Along Notice, the applicable period to which reference is made in Section 4.1.2 shall be three (3) Business Days and two (2) Business Days, respectively. In addition, if the Prospective Selling Stockholders have not completed the proposed Sale by the end of the 180th day after the date of delivery of (a) if the proposed Transfer is also the subject of a currently effective Sale Notice under Section 4.3, such Sale Notice, and (b) otherwise, the Tag Along Notice, each Participating Seller shall be released from such holder’s obligations under such holder’s Tag Along Offer, the Tag Along Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Tag Along Notice to be delivered, and the terms and provisions of this Section 4.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4.1, unless the failure to complete such proposed Sale resulted from any failure by any Participating Seller to comply with the terms of this Section 4.1.

4.1.6. Rule 144(k) Eligibility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, after the two-year anniversary of the Initial Public Offering, upon becoming eligible to Sell all of its Shares pursuant to paragraph (k) of Rule 144, a Stockholder shall no longer be eligible to participate in the Tag-Along rights provided by this Section 4.1.

- 15 -

4.1.7. Actions with Respect to Tag Along. In connection with a proposed Sale to which Section 4.1 applies, each Prospective Selling Stockholder agrees that it shall not enter into any agreement or take any action, the principal purpose of which is to discourage or prevent a particular Tag Along Holder from exercising their Tag Along rights pursuant to this Section 4.1.

4.1.8. Tag Alongs for Public Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1, the following Sales under Section 3.2.2 shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 4.1: (a) any Sale in a Public Offering, so long as such Sale is subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement; (b) any Sale pursuant to Rule 144 occurring during the two-year period commencing on the closing of the Initial Public Offering, so long as the Sponsor Majority approving such Sale under Section 3.2.2 in connection therewith also approves each other Stockholder’s ability to Transfer pursuant to Rule 144 the Tag Along Sale Percentage of the total number of Shares of the applicable class held by such other Stockholder; and (c) any Sale pursuant to Rule 144 occurring after the two-year period commencing on the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

4.2 Drag Along. With respect to a Change in Control that has been approved by the Requisite Sponsor Approval under Section 2.6 as well as, if not required by Section 2.6, Unanimous Sponsor Approval (an “Approved Sale”), each Stockholder hereby agrees, (a) if such Approved Sale is to be effected in the form of a merger or other corporate reorganization which requires approval of the Stockholders, the Stockholders shall vote for, and consent to such Approved Sale and each Stockholder shall waive any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such Approved Sale; (b) each Stockholder shall take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale and the distribution of the aggregate consideration from such Approved Sale as reasonably requested by the Prospective Selling Stockholders (and each Stockholder hereby grants to the Prospective Selling Stockholders, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, individually and jointly, an irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest to vote such Stockholder’s Shares in favor of an Approved Sale, which proxy shall be valid and remain in full force and effect as long as the provisions of this Section 4.2 remain in effect); and (c) if the Approved Sale is to be effected as a sale of Stock, if requested by the Prospective Selling Stockholders, Sell the same percentage (the “Drag Along Sale Percentage”) of the total number of each class of such Shares that is proposed to be sold by the Prospective Selling Stockholders to a Prospective Buyer in such Change in Control (in one transaction or a series of related transactions), in the manner and on the terms set forth in this Section 4.2. For purposes of this Section 4.2, but subject to Section 4.4.4, all Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities will be treated as the same class of Shares for which they may be exercised. All Shares to be sold to the Prospective Buyer shall be included in determining whether or not a proposed transaction constitutes a Change in Control. In connection with an Approved Sale, the Company will, if requested by the Prospective Selling Stockholders, cause the Class L Common to be converted into Class A Common pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation.

4.2.1. Exercise. If the Prospective Selling Stockholders wish to exercise their drag-along rights contained in this Section 4.2, then the Prospective Selling Stockholders shall deliver a written notice (the “Drag Along Notice”) to each other Stockholder at least

- 16 -

ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Change in Control transaction. The Drag Along Notice shall set forth the principal terms and conditions of the proposed Sale, including (a) the number and class of Shares to be acquired from the Prospective Selling Stockholders, (b) the Drag Along Sale Percentage for each class, (c) the per share consideration to be received in the proposed Sale for each class, (d) the name and address of the Prospective Buyer and (e) if known, the proposed Transfer date. If the Prospective Selling Stockholders consummate the proposed Sale to which reference is made in the Drag Along Notice, each other Stockholder (each, a “Participating Seller,” and, together with the Prospective Selling Stockholders, collectively, the “Drag Along Sellers”) shall: (i) be bound and obligated to Sell the Drag Along Sale Percentage of such holder’s Shares of each class in the proposed Sale on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each Share Sold (subject to Section 4.2.2 and, in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities, Section 4.4.4) as the Prospective Selling Stockholders shall Sell each Share in the Sale (subject to Section 4.4.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities and subject to Section 4.4.1 under all circumstances); and (ii) except as provided in Section 4.4.1 or Section 4.4.4, shall receive the same form and amount of consideration per Share to be received by the Prospective Selling Stockholders for the corresponding class of Shares (on an as converted basis, in the case of Convertible Securities). Except as provided in Section 4.4.1, if any holders of Shares of any class are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all holders of Shares of such class will be given the same option. Unless otherwise agreed by each Drag Along Seller, any non-cash consideration shall be allocated among the Drag Along Sellers pro rata based upon the aggregate amount of consideration to be received by such Drag Along Sellers. If at the end of the 180th day after the date of delivery of the Drag Along Notice the Prospective Selling Stockholders have not completed the proposed Sale, the Drag Along Notice shall be null and void, each Participating Seller shall be released from such holder’s obligation under the Drag Along Notice and it shall be necessary for a separate Drag Along Notice to be delivered and the terms and provisions of this Section 4.2 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4.2.

4.2.2. Drag Along Seller Exclusions. Notwithstanding Section 4.2.1, the requirement that Drag Along Sellers Sell on the same terms and conditions as the Prospective Selling Stockholders shall not apply to any provisions providing for financial advisory fees for Sponsors or requiring a Sponsor to agree to a non-compete.

4.2.3. Actions with respect to Drag Along. In connection with an Approved Sale to which Section 4.2 applies, each Prospective Selling Stockholder agrees that it shall not enter into any agreement or impose any condition in connection with such Sale, the principal purpose of which is to subject a particular Stockholder to a materially detrimental provision or injurious effect.

- 17 -

4.3 Right of First Offer. If any Prospective Selling Stockholder proposes to Sell any Shares other than to a Permitted Transferee before the closing of an Initial Public Offering in a Transfer (including to another Stockholder or the Company or any of its subsidiaries) that is subject to Section 3.2.5:

4.3.1. Notice. The Prospective Selling Stockholder shall deliver a written notice of such proposed Sale (a “Sale Notice”) to each Sponsor (each, a “First Offer Holder”) (which notice may be the same notice as the Tag Along Notice delivered pursuant to Section 4.1) not less than twenty (20) days prior to any such proposed Transfer. The Sale Notice shall include:

(a) (i) the number and class(es) of Shares proposed to be sold by the Prospective Selling Stockholder (the “Subject Shares”), (ii) the per share purchase price or the formula by which such price is to be determined, (iii) the Prospective Buyer(s), if known, and (iv) the proposed Transfer date, if known; and

(b) an invitation to each First Offer Holder to make an offer to purchase (subject to Section 4.3.6 below) any number of the Subject Shares at such price in cash.

4.3.2. Exercise.

(a) Within twenty (20) days after the date of delivery of the Sale Notice (the “First Offer Deadline”), each First Offer Holder may make an offer to purchase any number of the Subject Shares at the price set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a written notice (the “First Offer Notice”) of such offer specifying a number of Subject Shares offered to be purchased from the Prospective Selling Stockholder (each such Person delivering such notice, a “First Offer Purchaser”). The receipt of consideration by any Prospective Selling Stockholder selling Shares as payment for the transfer of such Shares pursuant to this Section 4.3.2 shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Prospective Selling Stockholder that: (i) such Prospective Selling Stockholder has full right, title and interest in and to such Shares; (ii) such Prospective Selling Stockholder has all necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to sell such Shares as contemplated by this Section 4.3.2; and (iii) such Shares are free and clear of any and all liens or encumbrances other than any arising as a result of the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Each Person not delivering a First Offer Notice that complies with the above requirements, including the applicable time periods, shall be deemed to have waived all of such Person’s rights to purchase such Shares under this Section 4.3.2, and the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall thereafter be free to Sell the Subject Shares to the First Offer Purchasers and/or any Prospective Buyer, at a per share purchase price no less than the price set forth in the Sale Notice, without any further obligation to such Person pursuant to this Section 4.3.

4.3.3. Irrevocable Offer. The offer of each First Offer Purchaser contained in a First Offer Notice shall be irrevocable, and, subject to Section 4.3.6 below, to the extent such offer is accepted, such First Offer Purchaser shall be bound and obligated to purchase the number of Subject Shares set forth in such First Offer Purchaser’s First Offer Notice.

- 18 -

4.3.4. Acceptance of Offers. Within five (5) Business Days after the First Offer Deadline, the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall inform each First Offer Purchaser, by delivery of a written notice (the “Acceptance Notice”), of whether or not the Prospective Selling Stockholder will accept all (but not less than all, subject to Section 4.3.6(b)) offers of the First Offer Purchasers; provided that in the event that the aggregate number of Subject Shares offered to be purchased by the First Offer Purchasers is equal to or exceeds the aggregate number of Subject Shares, the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall be obligated to accept all the offers of the First Offer Purchasers (subject to Section 4.3.6(b) and to negotiation of mutually acceptable documentation consistent with the terms described in the Sale Notice). In the event the Prospective Selling Stockholder fails to deliver the Acceptance Notice within the specified time period when the number of Shares offered to be purchased by the First Offer Purchasers is less than the number of Subject Shares, the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall be deemed to have decided not to Sell the Subject Shares to the First Offer Purchasers. If the Prospective Selling Stockholder decides not to Sell the Subject Shares to the First Offer Purchasers when the number of Shares offered to be purchased by the First Offer Purchasers is less than the number of Subject Shares, each First Offer Purchaser shall be released from such holder’s obligations under such holder’s irrevocable offer. Acceptance of such offers by the Prospective Selling Stockholder is without prejudice to the Prospective Selling Stockholder’s discretion under Section 4.4.3 to determine whether or not to consummate any Sale when the number of Shares offered to be purchased by the First Offer Purchasers is less than the number of Subject Shares.

4.3.5. Additional Compliance. If at the end of the 180th day after the date of delivery of the Sale Notice, the Prospective Selling Stockholder and First Offer Purchasers or Prospective Buyer (if not a First Offer Purchaser), if any, have not completed the Sale of the Subject Shares (other than due to the failure of any First Offer Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Section 4.3), each First Offer Purchaser shall be released from such holder’s obligations under such holder’s irrevocable offer, the Sale Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Sale Notice to be delivered, and the terms and provisions of this Section 4.3 separately complied with, in order to consummate a Transfer of such Subject Shares; provided, however, that in the case of such a separate Sale Notice in which the classes of Subject Shares and the per share price are unchanged and the number of Subject Shares is substantially the same, the applicable period to which reference is made in Section 4.3.1 and 4.3.2(a) shall be three (3) Business Days and two (2) Business Days, respectively, and the time to complete such Sale referenced in the first sentence of this Section 4.3.5 shall be 90 days instead of 180.

(a) In the event that the number of Shares offered to be purchased by the First Offer Purchasers is less than the number of Subject Shares, (i) the Prospective Selling Stockholder may accept the offers of the First Offer Purchasers and, at the option of the Prospective Selling Stockholder, sell any remaining Subject Shares which the First Offer Purchasers did not elect to purchase to one or more Prospective Buyers (subject to compliance with

- 19 -

Section 4.1 (otter than in the case of a Transfer permitted pursuant to Section 3.2.5(e)) at a price per share that is no less than the price set forth in the Sale Notice or (ii) if a single Prospective Buyer or group of Prospective Buyers is unwilling to purchase less than all of the Subject Shares, the Prospective Selling Stockholder may Sell all (but not less than all) of the Subject Shares to such Prospective Buyer or group of Prospective Buyers at a price per share that is no less than the price set forth in the Sale Notice rather than Sell the Subject Shares to the First Offer Purchasers (subject to compliance with Section 4.1 (other than in the case of a Transfer permitted pursuant to Section 3.2.5(e)). Such sales, if any, to Prospective Buyer(s) other than the First Offer Purchasers in accordance with this clause (a) shall be consummated together with the sale to the First Offer Purchasers.

(b) In the event that the aggregate number of Subject Shares offered to be purchased by the First Offer Purchasers is equal to or exceeds the aggregate number of Subject Shares, the Subject Shares shall be sold to the First Offer Purchasers as follows:

(i) there shall be first allocated to each First Offer Purchaser a number of Shares of each applicable class equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Shares of such class offered to be purchased by such First Offer Purchaser pursuant such holder’s First Offer Notice, and (B) a number of Shares of such class equal to such First Offer Purchaser’s Pro Rata Portion; and

(ii) the balance, if any, not allocated pursuant to clause (i) above shall be allocated to those First Offer Purchasers which offered to purchase a number of Shares of the applicable class in excess of such Person’s Pro Rata Portion pro rata to each such First Offer Purchaser based upon the amount of such excess, or in such other manner as the First Offer Purchasers may otherwise agree.

In the event any holders of Shares exercise such holders’ rights under Section 4.1 to sell Shares in connection with a Sale to First Offer Purchasers pursuant to this Section 4.3, such Shares (as the case may be, reduced in accordance with Section 4.1.4) shall be deemed to be Subject Shares for purposes of this Section 4.3 and shall be allocated among the First Offer Purchasers in accordance with this Section 4.3.6.

4.3.7. Actions with respect to Rights of First Offer. In connection with a proposed Sale to which Section 4.3 applies, each Prospective Selling Stockholder agrees that is shall not enter into any agreement or take any action, the principal purpose of which is to discourage or prevent a particular Person from exercising their Rights of First Offer pursuant to this Section 4.3.

- 20 -

4.4 Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall be applied to any proposed Sale to which Section 4.1,4.2 or 4.3 applies:

4.4.1. Certain Legal Requirements. In the event the consideration to be paid in exchange for Shares in a proposed Sale pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 includes any securities, and the receipt thereof by a Participating Seller would require under applicable law (a) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities where such registration or qualification is not otherwise required for the Sale by the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) or (b) the provision to any Tag Along Seller or Drag Along Seller of any specified information regarding such securities or the issuer thereof that is material and not otherwise required to be provided for the Sale by the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s), then such Participating Seller shall not have the right to Sell Shares in such proposed Sale. In such event, the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) shall (i) in the case of a Sale that is not a Change in Control, have the right, but not the obligation, and (ii) in the case of a Sale that is a Change in Control, have the obligation, to cause to be paid to such Participating Seller in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Shares (in accordance with Section 4.4.6 hereof) which would have otherwise been Sold by such Participating Seller to the Prospective Buyer in the proposed Sale, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date such securities would have been issued in exchange for such Shares.

4.4.2. Further Assurances. Each Participating, Seller and First Offer Purchaser shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or reasonably desirable in order to expeditiously consummate each Sale pursuant to Section 4.1, Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 and any related transactions, including executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; furnishing information and copies of documents; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; and otherwise cooperating with the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) and the Prospective Buyer; provided, however, that Participating Sellers shall be obligated to become liable in respect of any representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or otherwise to the Prospective Buyer solely to the extent provided in the immediately following sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Participating Seller agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably specified by the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) to which such Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) will also be party, including agreements to (a)(i) make individual representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements as to the unencumbered title to its Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Shares, the absence of any Adverse Claim with respect to such Shares and the non-contravention of other agreements and (ii) be liable as to such representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements, in each case to the same extent (but with respect to its own Shares) as the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s), and (b) in the case of a Sale pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2, be liable (whether by purchase price adjustment, indemnity payments or otherwise) in respect of representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in respect of the Company and its subsidiaries; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of liability described in this clause (b) in connection with any Sale of Shares shall not exceed the lesser of (i) such Participating Seller’s pro rata portion of any such liability, to be determined in accordance with such Participating Seller’s portion of the aggregate proceeds to all Participating Sellers and Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) in connection with such Sale and (ii) the proceeds to such Participating Seller in connection with such Sale.

- 21 -

4.4.3. Sale Process. The Prospective Selling Stockholder, in the case of a proposed Sale pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 (but, in the case of Section 4.3, only when the number of Shares offered to be purchased by the First Offer Purchasers is less than the number of Subject Shares) shall, in its sole discretion, decide whether or not to pursue, consummate, postpone or abandon any proposed Sale and the terms and conditions thereof. No Stockholder nor any Affiliate of any such holder shall have any liability to any other Stockholder or the Company arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Sale except to the extent such holder shall have failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 4 and such failure shall have prevented such Stockholder from exercising its rights pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3, as applicable.

4.4.4. Treatment of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities. If any Participating Seller that is not an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall Sell any Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities that are exercisable, convertible or exchangeable in any Sale pursuant to Section 4, such Participating Seller shall receive in exchange for such Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities consideration in the amount (if greater than zero) equal to the purchase price received by the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) in such Sale for the number of shares of each class of Stock that would be issued upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities less the exercise price, if any, of such Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities (or, with respect to Convertible Securities, if greater, the amount of the liquidation preference (or, in the case of indebtedness, the principal amount and accrued interest), if any, to which such securities would be entitled in accordance with the terms in connection with such Sale in lieu of converting), in each case, subject to reduction for any tax or other amounts required to be withheld under applicable law.

4.4.5. Expenses. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) or the Company in connection with any proposed Sale pursuant to Section 4.1, Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 (whether or not consummated), including all attorneys’ fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, shall be paid by the Company, subject to the following sentence.

Any other costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of any or all of the Participating Sellers in connection with any proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4 (whether or not consummated) shall be borne by such Participating Seller(s).

4.4.6. Closing. The closing of a Sale to which Section 4.1,4.2 or 4.3 applies shall take place (i) on the proposed Transfer date, if any, specified in the Tag Along Notice, Drag Along Notice or Sale Notice, as applicable (provided that consummation of any Transfer may be extended beyond such date to the extent necessary to obtain any

- 22 -

applicable governmental approval or other required approval or to satisfy other conditions), (ii) if no proposed Transfer date was required to be specified in the Drag Along Notice, at such time as the Prospective Selling Stockholders shall specify by notice to each Participating Seller and (iii) at such place as the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) shall specify by notice to each Participating Seller in the case of a Sale to which Section 4.2 applies. At the closing of such Sale, each Participating Seller shall deliver the certificates evidencing the Shares to be Sold by such Participating Seller, duly endorsed, or with stock (or equivalent) powers duly endorsed, for transfer with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances (other than any arising as a result of the terms of this Agreement), with any stock (or equivalent) transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery of the applicable consideration.

4.4.7. Adjustments for Yield on Class L Common. With respect to each provision in this Article IV requiring or contemplating that shares of Class L Common will receive the same consideration per share in connection with a Sale pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3, each Stockholder agrees that to the extent any shares of Class L Common have accrued yield thereon or unreturned original cost pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation that is different from the accrued yield or unreturned original cost of any other share of Class L Common, the allocation of consideration payable in respect of shares of Class L Common in any such Sale may be equitably adjusted among such shares solely to the extent necessary to reflect the differing amounts of yield accrued thereon or unreturned original cost thereof.

4.5 Period. The provisions of Section 4.3 shall expire as to any Share upon the earlier of (a) a Change in Control that has been approved by Requisite Stockholder Approval and (b) the Initial Public Offering.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply to Issuances described below in Section 5.3.

- 23 -

Issuance, (ii) the number of Equivalent Shares represented by such Subject Securities (if applicable), (iii) the percentage of the total number of Shares outstanding as of immediately prior to giving effect to such Issuance which the number of Shares held by such Participation Offeree immediately prior to such issuance constitutes (the “Participation Portion”), (iv) the price (including if applicable, the Price Per Equivalent Share) per unit of the Subject Securities, including a description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit valuation thereof, (v) the proposed manner through which the Company shall effectuate issuance, (vi) if known, the name and address of the Person to whom the Subject Securities are expected to be issued (the “Prospective Subscriber”) and (vii) if known, the proposed Issuance date; and

5.1.2. Exercise.

(a) General. Each Participation Offeree desiring to accept the offer contained in the Participation Notice shall accept such offer by delivering a written notice of such acceptance to the Issuer within eight (8) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Participation Notice specifying the amount of Subject Securities (not in any event to exceed the Participation Portion of the total amount of Subject Securities to be included in the Issuance) which such Participation Offeree desires to be issued (each a “Participating Buyer”). Each Participation Offeree who does not accept such offer in compliance with the above requirements, including the applicable time periods, shall be deemed to have waived all of such holder’s rights to participate in such Issuance, and the Issuer shall thereafter be free to issue Subject Securities in such Issuance to the Prospective Subscriber and any Participating Buyers, at a price no less than the minimum price set forth in the Participation Notice and on other terms not substantially more favorable to the Prospective Subscriber than those set forth in the Participation Notice, without any further obligation to such non-accepting Participation Offerees pursuant to Section 5. If, prior to consummation, the terms of such proposed Issuance shall change with the result that the price shall be less than the minimum price set forth in the Participation Notice or the other terms shall be substantially more favorable to the Prospective Subscriber than those set forth in the Participation Notice, it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be delivered, and the terms and provisions of this Section 5.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Issuance pursuant to this Section 5.1; provided, however, that in such case of a separate Participation Notice, the

(b) Irrevocable Acceptance. The acceptance of each Participating Buyer shall be irrevocable except as hereinafter provided, and each such Participating Buyer shall be bound and obligated to acquire in the Issuance on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each unit of Subject Securities issued, as the Prospective Subscriber, such amount of Subject Securities as such Participating Buyer shall have specified in such Participating Buyer’s written commitment.

(c) Time Limitation. If at the end of the 180th day after the date of the effectiveness of the Participation Notice the Issuer has not completed the Issuance, each Participating Buyer shall be released from such holder’s obligations under the written commitment, the Participation Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be delivered, and the terms and provisions of this Section 5.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Issuance pursuant to this Section 5.1; provided, however, that in such case of a separate Participation Notice on substantially the same terms and conditions, the applicable period to which reference is made in Section 5.1.1 and in the first sentence of Section 5.1.2(a) (ii)(1) shall be three (3) Business Days and two (2) Business Days, respectively, and the time to complete such Issuance referenced in the first sentence of this Section 5.1.2 shall be 90 days instead of 180.

The Issuer may condition the participation of the Participation Offerees in an Issuance upon the purchase by such Participation Offerees of any securities (including debt securities) other than Subject Securities (“Other Securities”) in the event that the participation of the Prospective Subscriber in such Issuance is so conditioned. In such case, each Participating Buyer shall acquire in the Issuance, together with the Subject Securities to be acquired by it, Other Securities in the same proportion to the Subject Securities to be acquired by it as the proportion of Other Securities to Subject Securities being acquired by the Prospective Subscriber in the Issuance, on the same terms and conditions, as to each unit of Subject Securities and Other Securities issued to the Participating Buyers, as the Prospective Subscriber shall be issued units of Subject Securities and Other Securities.

5.1.4. Certain Legal Requirements. In the event that the participation in the Issuance by a Participation Offeree as a Participating Buyer would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities where such registration or qualification is not otherwise required for the Issuance or (ii) the provision to any participant in the Sale of any specified information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the securities that is not otherwise required to be provided for the Issuance, such Participation Offeree shall not have the right to participate in the Issuance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that neither the Company nor the Issuer shall be under any obligation to effect a registration of such securities under the Securities Act or similar state statutes.

- 25 -

5.1.5. Further Assurances. Each Participating Buyer shall take, or cause to be taken all such reasonable actions as may be reasonably necessary or reasonably desirable in order to expeditiously consummate each Issuance pursuant to this Section 5.1 and any related transactions, including executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; and otherwise cooperating with the Issuer and the Prospective Subscriber. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Participating Buyer agrees to execute and deliver such subscription and other agreements specified by the Issuer to which the Prospective Subscriber will be party.

Each Sponsor may retain, and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of, a single legal counsel (and such local counsel as may be appropriate) in connection with such proposed Issuance of Subject Securities (whether or not consummated). Any other costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Stockholder in connection with such proposed Issuance of Subject Securities (whether or not consummated) shall be borne by such holder.

5.1.7. Closing. The closing of an Issuance pursuant to Section 5.1 shall take place (i) on the proposed date of Issuance, if any, set forth in the Participation Notice (provided that consummation of any Transfer may be extended beyond such date to the extent necessary to obtain any applicable governmental approval or other required approval or to satisfy other conditions), (ii) if no proposed Transfer date was required to be specified in the Participation Notice, at such time as the Issuer shall specify by notice to each Participating Buyer, provided that such closing with respect to a Participating Buyer shall not (without the consent of such Participating Buyer) be prior to the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after the Company issues the applicable Participation Notice and (iii) at such place as the Issuer shall specify by notice to each Participating Buyer. At the closing of any Issuance under this Section 5.1.7, each Participating Buyer shall be delivered the notes, certificates or other instruments evidencing the Subject Securities (and, if applicable, Other Securities) to be issued to such Participating Buyer, registered in the name of such Participating Buyer or such holder’s designated nominee, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, with any transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery by such Participating Buyer of the applicable consideration.

If the Issuer issues securities in an Issuance subject to this Section 5.2, the Issuer will not permit any stockholder receiving securities in such Issuance to vote such securities until the later of (i) the expiration of the fifteen (15) Business Day period referenced in Section 5.2(c) and (ii) if the offer in Section 5.2(c) is accepted, the date of sale of the securities to the purchasing Sponsor.
