SECTION 2.01. Transfers. No Stockholder may Transfer any Shares other than Transfers made in accordance with this Article II and Article III.

Each Stockholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not be required to (i) Transfer on its books any Shares in connection with any Transfer in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee of such Shares in such Transfer.

SECTION 2.02. Transfers to Permitted Transferees. Any Stockholder may, at any time, Transfer any or all of the Shares held by such Stockholder as follows: (i) to any one or more Designated Affiliates of such Stockholder, (ii) Transfers by the MM Stockholders made with the written consent of Cerberus, (iii) Transfers by the Cerberus Stockholders made with the written consent of MM, (iv) Transfers made in a Public Offering in accordance with and pursuant to the Registration Rights and Shareholders Agreement and (v) Transfers made after giving effect to the provisions of Section 2.03, 2.04 and Article III; provided, that in the case of Transfers made pursuant to Section 2.02 (i), (ii) and (iii) hereof, the Person to whom such Shares are Transferred must duly execute and deliver an Instrument of Accession in the form of Exhibit A hereto (such Transfer to be effective only upon the delivery of such Instrument of Accession to the other Stockholders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall be considered to be Permitted Transferees.

SECTION 2.03. Right of First Offer.

(a) No Stockholder (a "Transferring Stockholder") may Transfer Shares (other than Transfers to Permitted Transferees as described in Section 2.02 to any Person without first providing the other Stockholders a written notice (the “ROFR Offer Notice”), which in the case of a proposed Transfer by a MM Stockholder shall be delivered to the Cerberus Stockholders, and in the case of a proposed Transfer by a Cerberus Stockholder, shall be delivered to the MM Stockholders, at least 20 days prior to such proposed Transfer. The ROFR Offer Notice shall include, to the extent applicable, taking into account whether such Transfer is proposed to be consummated in a private or public offering:

(i) the principal terms of the proposed Transfer, including (u) the names and addresses of the prospective Transferees, (v) a copy of the written bona fide offer, (w) the number and class of the Shares to be Transferred to each such prospective Transferee (the "Offered Shares"), (x) the expected date of the proposed Transfer, (y) the proposed Offer Price and (z) any other material terms of the proposed Transfer; and

(ii) an irrevocable offer (an “ROFR Option”) to sell any or all such Shares to the MM Stockholders or the Cerberus Stockholders, as the case may be (as applicable, the "Other Stockholders"), for a purchase price, to be stated therein, which shall be no greater than the proposed Offer Price offered by the prospective Transferees, as specified in the ROFR Offer Notice for such Shares, and otherwise on terms that are the same or better than the terms that would apply to such proposed sale to the proposed Transferees.

(b) Each Stockholder who exercises its ROFR Option will have the right to purchase all or any portion of its pro-rata portion of the total number of Shares subject to the ROFR. Any ROFR Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by delivery of written notice of acceptance (the “ROFR Acceptance Notice”) to the offeror within 15 days after delivery of the related ROFR Offer Notice. The ROFR Acceptance Notice shall state that the offeree Stockholder has elected to exercise the ROFR Option, and the number of Shares with respect to which such ROFR Option is being exercised. The closing of any purchase and sale of Shares pursuant to the exercise of any ROFR Option shall take place as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event not later than 15 days after delivery of the ROFR Acceptance Notice (provided, that such time shall be extended as necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements) at such time and location as the parties to such purchase may mutually determine. If any Other Stockholder does not elect to purchase its pro rata portion of the Offered Shares, the Transferring Stockholder shall give prompt written notice to each Other Stockholder who has elected to purchase its pro rata portion of the Offered Shares of the number of Shares remaining, and each such Other Stockholder shall have the right to purchase its pro rata portion of the remaining Offered Shares. The foregoing process shall be repeated until the earlier of (i) no Other Stockholder elects to purchase any additional Offered Shares and (ii) all Offered Shares are allocated among Other Stockholders. If the Other Stockholders do not elect to purchase, in the aggregate, all of the Offered Shares, then subject to Sections 2.04 and 3.01 the Transferring Stockholder may transfer all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares to the prospective transferee(s) identified in the Offering Notice at a price and on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Transferring Stockholder than those specified in the ROFR Offer Notice for a period of up to 30 days from the expiration of the 15-day period commencing on the date of

delivery of the ROFR Offer Notice. Any Shares not transferred within such period again shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.03 in connection with any subsequent Transfer. At the closing of any purchase and sale of Shares following the exercise of any ROFR Option, the holder(s) of Shares to be sold will deliver to the offeree Stockholder a certificate or certificates representing the Shares to be purchased duly endorsed, or with stock (or equivalent) powers duly endorsed, for transfer with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, and with any necessary stock (or equivalent) transfer tax stamps affixed, together with such certifications, representations and warranties as the offeree Stockholder may reasonably request regarding matters such as that: (i) such holder has full right, title and interest in and to such Shares; (ii) such holder has all necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to sell such Shares as contemplated; and (iii) there is no Adverse Claim with respect to such Shares, and the offeree Stockholder (or its designee(s), if applicable) will pay to such holder by certified or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available federal funds (at the option of the holder selling the Shares) the purchase price of the Shares being purchased by it. For the purposes of this Section 2.03, "pro rata portion" shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the number of Shares owned by such Stockholder on the date of determination by the number of Shares then owned by Other Stockholders eligible to purchase the Offered Shares.

(c) Involuntary Transfers. If an Involuntary Transfer of any Shares (the "Involuntarily Transferred Shares") owned by any of the Stockholders shall occur, the Other Stockholders shall have all of the same rights as specified in this Section 2.03 with respect to such Involuntarily Transferred Shares as if the Involuntary Transfer had been a proposed voluntary transfer by a Transferring Stockholder, except that (i) the periods referenced in this Section 2.03 shall run from the date of receipt by the Company and the Other Stockholders of notice of the Involuntary Transfer, and (ii) such rights shall be exercised by notice to the transferee of such Involuntarily Transferred Shares (the "Involuntary Transferee") rather than to the Stockholder who suffered or will suffer the Involuntary Transfer. In the event that the provisions of this clause (b) shall be held to be unenforceable with respect to any particular Involuntary Transfer, or if all of the Involuntarily Transferred Shares are not purchased pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.03, as a condition to the Transfer of such Shares to the Involuntary Transferee in the records of the Company, the Involuntary Transferee must execute an Instrument of Accession in the form of Exhibit A hereto and thereby become a party to, and be bound by, the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Each certificate representing the Shares that is held by a Stockholder will bear a legend substantially to the following effect with such additions thereto or changes therein as may be necessary to give full effect to this Agreement (the “Investors Agreement Legend”):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AN INVESTORS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY 7, 2007, AMONG THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE OTHER PARTIES THERETO. NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH INVESTORS AGREEMENT. THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH INVESTORS AGREEMENT.”

The Investors Agreement Legend will be removed by the delivery of substitute certificates without such Investors Agreement Legend in the event of (i) a Transfer permitted by this Agreement in which the Transferee is not required to enter into an Assumption Agreement or (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.04.

SECTION 2.04. Unregistered Public Transfers.

(a) Rule 144 Transfers, Block Sales and LP Distributions. If a Stockholder may sell Shares to any Person after the application of and compliance with Section 2.03, such Stockholder shall not Transfer any or all of its Shares pursuant to an Unregistered Public Transfer other than in compliance with this Section 2.04. Shares Transferred pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall conclusively be deemed thereafter not to be Shares under this Agreement.

(i) Rule 144 Coordination. The Stockholders shall use reasonable best efforts to coordinate Transfers of Shares made pursuant to Rule 144.

(ii) Notice. Each Stockholder shall provide 5 Business Days prior written notice to the other Stockholders when it plans to Transfer any or all of its Shares pursuant to this Section 2.04.

(iii) Volume Limit. No Stockholder shall be permitted to effect Transfers pursuant to this Section 2.04 in excess of its pro rata share of all Shares that may be Transferred by Stockholders under Rule 144 during the applicable measurement period (based on the ownership of Shares held by all Stockholders at the start of such measurement period) and assuming for such purposes that all Stockholders are part of the same Related Group whether or not such Stockholders are required by Rule 144 to be so treated. During an applicable measurement period under Rule 144, any Transfers permitted by this Section 2.04 consummated during such applicable measurement period will reduce for purposes of this Agreement, on a Share for Share basis, the number of Shares that such Stockholder is permitted to sell under Rule 144 during such measurement period, whether individually or as part of a Related Group, whether or not such Transfer is required by Rule 144 to be so treated. In the event any Stockholder agrees to forego its pro rata share of the Rule 144 Related Group volume limit by written notice to the other Stockholders, the remainder shall be re-allocated pro rata among the other Stockholders in like manner (except that the Shares held by such forfeiting Stockholder at the start of such measurement period shall be excluded from such calculation).

(b) Period. The provisions of Section 2.04 shall terminate at such time as the Stockholders, in the aggregate, own less than 10% of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis.

SECTION 2.05. Securities Law Compliance.

(a) Each Stockholder agrees that it will not effect any Transfer of Shares unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities

Act or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and, in either case, in compliance with all applicable state securities laws.

ARTICLE III.

SECTION 3.01. Tag-Along Rights. After giving effect to the application of Section 2.03 and subject to its prior compliance thereto, with respect to any proposed Transfer by any Stockholder (collectively, the “Selling Stockholder”) of Shares held by such Stockholder and its Designated Affiliates to any Person other than (x) to a Designated Affiliate, (y) in a Public Offering made in accordance with and pursuant to the Registration Rights and Shareholders Agreement or (z) in an Unregistered Public Transfer, each Stockholder who exercises its rights under this Section 3.01 (each a “Tagging Stockholder”) will have the right to include the following in the proposed sale to the proposed transferee(s) of Shares (the “Proposed Transferee”) or sell the following to the Selling Stockholder (if such Proposed Transferee will not agree to purchase Shares directly from such Tagging Stockholder, and in such case the Selling Stockholder shall be obligated to purchase from such Tagging Stockholder the following): a number of Shares up to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) such Tagging Stockholder's Proportionate Percentage of Shares and (ii) the total number of Shares proposed to be Transferred to the Proposed Transferee(s), at the same price(s) per Share, as the case may be, and upon the same terms and conditions (including time of payment, form of consideration and adjustments to purchase price) as the Selling Stockholder; provided, that Cerberus Stockholders shall not be entitled to be a Tagging Stockholder (and MM Stockholders shall be entitled to be a Selling Stockholder) in a proposed sale of Shares at the direction of Cerberus by a MM Affiliated Investment Fund in which Cerberus or a Designated Affiliate thereof is an investor.

SECTION 3.02. Exercise of Tag-Along Rights; Notices.

In the event that any of the material terms or conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Opportunity Notice are thereafter amended in any material respect, the Selling Stockholder shall also give written notice of the amended terms and conditions of the Proposed Sale to the Stockholders (such amended notice, an “Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice”) as promptly a s practicable after such amended terms and conditions have been made. In order to exercise the tag-along rights provided by this Article III, the Tagging Stockholder must send a written notice to the Selling Stockholder indicating the desire of the Tagging Stockholder to exercise its rights and specifying the number and type of Shares it desires to sell (the “Tag-Along Exercise Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days following the giving of the Tag-Along Opportunity Notice to the Tagging Stockholder (or if an Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice is given to the Tagging Stockholder within such ten (10) Business Day period, within ten (10) Business Days following the giving of such Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice). Upon the giving of an Amended Tag-Along

Opportunity Notice to the Tagging Stockholder, such Tagging Stockholder shall be permitted to cancel its exercise of its rights under this Article III upon delivery of written notice to the Selling Stockholder to such effect and shall be released from its obligation hereunder.

In connection with the consummation of any such Proposed Sale, the Company and the Selling Stockholder (i) shall Transfer to the Proposed Transferee at the closing of such Proposed Sale a stock certificate or certificates representing the Shares to be disposed of by any Tagging Stockholders and (ii) shall promptly thereafter remit to each Tagging Stockholder (x) that portion of the proceeds of the disposition to which such Tagging Stockholder is entitled by reason of such participation and (y) a stock certificate or certificates representing any balance of Shares that were not so disposed of (or all Shares, in the event the proposed disposition is not consummated).

(b) If any Tagging Stockholder exercises its rights under this Article III, the closing of the purchase of the Shares with respect to which such rights have been exercised will take place concurrently with the closing of the sale of the Selling Stockholder's Shares to the Proposed Transferee. If by the end of sixty (60) days following the date of delivery of the Tag-Along Opportunity Notice (or following the delivery of the last Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice, if applicable), the Selling Stockholder, the Tagging Stockholders and the Proposed Transferee have not completed the Proposed Sale, each Tagging Stockholder shall be released from its obligations under this Article III, and the Tag-Along Exercise Notices shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for the terms of this Article III to be separately complied with in order to consummate such Proposed Sale pursuant to this Article III.

(b) In the event that there is a change in the Convertible Shares Voting Power held by one Stockholder relative to the other, the Stockholders each agree to vote or otherwise give such Stockholder's consent in respect of all shares of Company Capital Stock (whether now or hereafter acquired) owned by such Stockholder, from time to time, in order to cause the removal from or election to the Board, as appropriate, of such number of (i) MM Designees such that the number of MM Designees that are designated to the Board is equal to the Adjusted MM Designee Number calculated based on such changed relative Convertible Shares Voting Power held by the MM Stockholders, and (ii) Cerberus Designees such that the number of Cerberus Designees that are designated to the Board is equal to the Adjusted Cerberus Designee Number calculated based on such changed relative Convertible Shares Voting Power held by the Cerberus Stockholders in each case rounded to the nearest whole number. In the event that the authorized number of directors on the Board of Directors is insufficient to accommodate the adjustments to the number of MM Designees and Cerberus Designees pursuant to this Section 4.01(b), then the Stockholders each agree to (x) use reasonable efforts (including by voting or otherwise giving such Stockholder's consent in respect of all shares of Company Capital Stock (whether now or hereafter acquired) owned by such Stockholder) to cause the authorized number of directors on the Board of Directors to be adjusted upwards as appropriate to accommodate the adjustments to the number of MM Designees and Cerberus Designees pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) or (y) (A) to cause the removal from the Board of Directors of such MM Designee or Cerberus Designee as appropriate to reflect as closely as practicable the Convertible Shares Voting Power held by each Stockholder relative to the other, and (B) to fill the vacancy created by such removal with an individual (i) mutually agreed upon by the MM Stockholders and the Cerberus Stockholders. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the Cerberus Stockholders and the MM Stockholders are only entitled to designate one member to the Board pursuant to the Registration Rights and Shareholders Agreement, such director designee shall be (i) mutually agreed upon by the Cerberus Stockholders and the MM Stockholders to the extent that neither the MM Adjusted Voting Power Ratio nor the Cerberus Adjusted Voting Power Ratio exceeds, individually, 66-2/3% and (ii) by the MM Stockholders or the Cerberus Stockholders, as applicable, to the extent the MM Adjusted Voting Power Ratio or the Cerberus Adjusted Voting Power Ratio exceeds, individually, 66-2/3%, respectively. In the event that the sum of the Cerberus Designees and the MM Designees at any time equals an odd number in circumstances in which each Stockholder is entitled to appoint the same number of directors, each Stockholder shall be entitled to appoint an even amount of directors and jointly appoint the odd numbered director. It being further understood that so long as the Convertible Shares Voting Power held by the MM Stockholders or the Cerberus Stockholder, as the case may be, exceeds 5%, then the Stockholders shall use reasonable best efforts to provide that the MM Stockholders or the Cerberus Stockholders, as the case may be, shall have at least one designee to the Board of Directors notwithstanding that the Adjusted MM Designee Number or Adjusted Cerberus Designee Number may be less than one. Nothing herein shall require any Stockholder to take any action that would result in an increase in the appointment of more directors than the Stockholders would be entitled to in the aggregate, under the Registration Rights and Shareholders Agreement.

(c) From and after the date hereof, each of MM and Cerberus agrees to cause its designees to the Board, if any, subject to those designees’ fiduciary duties under applicable law, to vote or otherwise give such Director's consent to the creation and maintenance of:

(i) a Board of Directors initially consisting of eleven persons, including (i) the six directors the Investors are entitled to designate pursuant to the Registration Rights and Shareholders Agreement, (ii) three Independent Directors (one of which will be nominated by MM, one of which will be nominated by Cerberus, and the third of which will be nominated by the other two Independent Directors), (iii) one designee, of the Cypress Shareholders (as defined in the Registration Rights and Shareholders Agreement) for as long as the Cypress Shareholders are entitled to designate a director pursuant to the terms thereof and (iv) the CEO of the Company.

(ii) a Compensation Committee of the Board, consisting of at least three directors, whose composition shall be the same as the Board relative to the percentage of Cerberus Designees and MM Designees on such Board, provided that so long as neither the MM Adjusted Voting Power Ratio nor the Cerberus Adjusted Voting Power Ratio exceeds, individually, 66-2/3%, one of whom shall be a MM Designee, if any, one of whom shall be a Cerberus Designee, if any, and one of whom shall be an Independent Director, if any, which Compensation Committee shall approve all grants of stock options or stock awards to employees of the Company, all increases in compensation of officers of the Company and all other employee benefits (including, without limitation, vacation policy, benefit plans, company automobiles and insurance) granted to officers of the Company;

(iii) an Audit Committee of the Board, consisting of at least three directors, whose composition shall be the same as the Board relative to the percentage of Cerberus Designees and MM Designees on such Board, provided that so long as neither the MM Adjusted Voting Power Ratio nor the Cerberus Adjusted Voting Power Ratio exceeds, individually, 66-2/3%, one of whom shall be a MM Designee, if any, one of whom shall be a Cerberus Designee, if any, and one of whom shall be an Independent Director, if any, which Audit Committee shall review and approve the financial statements of the Company; and

(iv) so long as neither the MM Adjusted Voting Power Ratio nor the Cerberus Adjusted Voting Power Ratio exceeds, individually, 66-2/3%, any other committee or sub-committee of the Board that may be mutually deemed by MM and Cerberus to be appropriate; provided that such committee or sub-committee consists of at least one MM Designee, if any, and one Cerberus Designee, if any, so long as neither the MM Adjusted Voting Power Ratio nor the Cerberus Adjusted Voting Power Ratio exceeds, individually, 66-2/3%.

SECTION 4.02. Consultation Regarding Certain Matters to be Voted on by the Board. So long as neither the MM Adjusted Voting Power Ratio nor the Cerberus Adjusted Voting Power Ratio exceeds 66-2/3%, the MM Designees and the Cerberus Designees shall consult with each other, subject to their fiduciary duties under applicable law, prior to voting on the following matters to be voted on by the Board:

(i) any sale of substantially all the assets of the Company, or any merger or consolidation in which the Company is a constituent party (other than for purposes of redomestication), or any other transaction, in which the stockholders of the Company

immediately before the transaction do not hold, immediately after the transaction, more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of the surviving or resulting entity or the Company, as the case may be (any such transaction, a “Change of Control”);

(ii)

any recapitalization of the Company;

(iii) the creation, or authorization of the creation of, or issuance or obligation to issue any additional shares of Company Equity Securities, or any other equity securities of the Company or securities convertible into equity securities of the Company;

(iv) any reclassification, recapitalization of, any declaration or payment of dividends (whether in cash, other assets or stock) on, and any purchase or redemption of any shares of Company Capital Stock by the Company, other than (A) purchases by the Company of Company Capital Stock held by the Stockholders, provided that the Company repurchases from each Stockholder such Stockholder’s Proportionate Percentage of the aggregate number of shares repurchased by the Company, and (B) repurchases of securities from former employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons who performed services for the Company in connection with the cessation of such employment or service at the then-current fair market value thereof (or lower, if agreed to by the Company and the applicable third party);

(v)

any filing for bankruptcy, receivership or similar arrangement;

(vi) any increase or decrease of the authorized number of directors or members of any committee thereof;

(vii) approval of the annual operating budget of the Company, modification in any material respect any such budget or any action that is or is reasonably likely to be a material variance therefrom;

(viii) any joint venture or other alliance with an aggregate value in excess of $10,000,000;

(ix) the hiring or removal of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer or Chief Actuary (each, an “Executive Officer” and collectively the “Executive Officers”), provided that the Cerberus Designees may vote for the removal of any two of the Executive Officers on one occasion only without prior consultation with the MM Designees;

(x) any agreement, contract or understanding which involves payment by the Company in excess of $10,000,000;

(xi) any agreement providing for, or the occurrence of, the acquisition or sale of any asset, or the acquisition of or investment in any equity or debt securities of another Person, for a value of greater than $10,000,000;

(xii) the incurrence of any new indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of $10,000,000; the prepayment or material modification of any existing indebtedness; or

any loan, advance or capital contribution by the Company in an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000,000;

(xiii) adopting or making a material amendment to any severance or management equity program; or

(xiv) any matter to be submitted for approval for a vote of the Shares or by the shareholders of the Company.

SECTION 4.03. Stockholder Consent. Each Stockholder agrees that it will not vote or otherwise give such Stockholder's consent in respect of any shares of Company Capital Stock (whether now or hereafter acquired) owned by such Stockholder in favor of any proposal to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company without the prior consent of the other Stockholder (any disagreement as to whether or not to approve and/or consent to any such matter, a "Dispute"), provided however that the provisions of this Section 4.03 shall not apply (i) if either the MM Adjusted Voting Power Ratio or the Cerberus Adjusted Voting Power Ratio exceeds, individually, 66-2/3% or (ii) with respect to the incurrence of any indebtedness (other than corporate debt) for borrowed money to maintain the operation of the Company as a going concern.

SECTION 4.04. Babson Capital Management LLC. Cerberus agrees to vote or otherwise give its consent in respect of all shares of Company Capital Stock (whether now or hereafter acquired) owned by Cerberus in whatever manner as shall be reasonably necessary to appoint Babson Capital Management LLC as the Company’s asset manager, provided that the terms of such engagement are on terms substantially no less favorable to the Company than those that the Company would obtain in a comparable arms'-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate or stockholder (or an Affiliate of such stockholder) of the Company and include provisions for termination (a) for material non-performance, (b) for under-performance (as determined by the Independent Directors), or (c) upon a Change of Control.

ARTICLE V.

THIRD PARTY SALE PROCESS

SECTION 5.01. Third Party Sale Process.

(a) At any time on or after May 7, 2012, so long as the MM Stockholders and the Cerberus Stockholders together own at least 33-1/3% of the Ordinary Shares then outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis and neither the MM Adjusted Voting Power Ratio nor the Cerberus Adjusted Voting Power Ratio exceeds, individually, 66-23%, each of MM and Cerberus shall have the right to cause the other to use reasonable best efforts to initiate the sale (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) to any Person or group of Persons (a “Third Party”) of (x) 100% of the Ordinary Shares then outstanding on a Fully-Diluted Basis or (y) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (each such transaction a “Third Party Sale”). Any Third Party Sale process will be conducted by the Independent Directors who shall have the power to negotiate and consummate such Third Party Sale. If and to the extent either MM or Cerberus wishes to initiate a Third Party Sale, then each

of MM and Cerberus hereby agrees that such Stockholder will (A) vote or otherwise give such Stockholder's consent in favor of such Third Party Sale, if approved by the Independent Directors (B) Transfer to such Third Party, subject to the other provisions of this Article V, on the terms of the Third Party Sale so accepted by the Independent Directors, including time of payment, form and choice of consideration and adjustments to purchase price, the number of shares of Company Capital Stock equal to such Stockholder's Proportionate Percentage of Ordinary Shares on a Fully-Diluted Basis to which the Third Party Sale is applicable, if any, and (C) cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Independent Directors in connection with the Third Party Sale. Nothing herein shall preclude MM or Cerberus from participating in the Third Party Sale as a potential purchaser of the Company.

(b) Exercise of Third Party Sale Rights; Notices; Certain Conditions of Third Party Sales.

(i) The Independent Directors will give notice (the “Sale Notice”) to the Stockholders of any proposed Third Party Sale within five (5) Business Days after their acceptance thereof and, in any event, not less than Twenty (20) Business Days prior to the proposed closing date thereof. The Sale Notice will set forth the name of the proposed transferee or acquiring Person, the proposed amount and form of consideration, the number and type of shares of Company Capital Stock sought and the other terms and conditions of the offer.

(ii) If any holders of Company Capital Stock are given an option as to the timing, form and amount of consideration to be received, all holders of such class of Company Capital Stock shall be given the same option. Each Stockholder (x) shall agree to those covenants required for all stockholders in connection with the Third Party Sale, (y) shall be obligated to join on a pro rata basis (based on the proceeds received by each such Stockholder in connection with the Third Party Sale) in any indemnification that the Independent Directors agree should be provided in connection with the Third Party Sale (other than in connection with obligations that relate to a particular Stockholder such as representations and warranties concerning itself for which each Stockholder shall agree to be solely responsible) and (z) shall make customary representations and warranties concerning itself and the shares of Company Capital Stock to be sold by it in connection with such Third Party Sale.

(iii) Each Stockholder will be responsible for funding its proportionate share of any adjustment in purchase price or escrow arrangements in connection with the Third Party Sale and for its proportionate share of any withdrawals from any such escrow, including any such withdrawals that are made with respect to claims arising out of agreements, covenants, representations, warranties or other provisions relating to the Third Party Sale.

(iv) Each Stockholder will be responsible for its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the Third Party Sale to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company, the Third Party or another Person. The Independent Directors shall be entitled to estimate each Stockholder's proportionate share of such fees and expenses and to withhold such amounts from payments to be made to each Stockholder at the time of

closing of the Third Party Sale; provided that (i) such estimate shall not preclude the Independent Directors from recovering additional amounts from the Stockholders in respect of each Stockholder's Proportionate Percentage of such fees and expenses and (ii) the Independent Directors shall reimburse, from the proceeds of the Third Party Sale, each Stockholder to the extent actual amounts are ultimately less than the estimated amounts or any such amounts are paid by the Company, the Third Party or another Person.

(c) Closing of Third Party Sale. At the closing of such Third Party Sale, each of the Stockholders shall deliver certificates evidencing the Company Capital Stock then held by it and to be sold or cancelled in connection with such sale, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by stock powers executed in blank, against payment of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer to the account or accounts specified by such Stockholder.

The offeree Stockholders shall be required within 30 Business Days to either (x) purchase all the Company Capital Stock of the Initiating Stockholder at the purchase price and on the terms and conditions contained in the Dutch Auction Notice, or (y) sell all Company Capital Stock held by the offeree Stockholders to the Initiating Stockholder at the purchase price and on the terms and conditions contained in the Dutch Auction Notice.

SECTION 7.10. Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights of the parties and all actions, claims or suits arising in whole or in part under or in connection herewith, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 7.11. Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process.

(a) Jurisdiction. Each party to this Agreement, by its execution hereof, (a) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court located in New York County in the State of New York for the purpose of any action, claims or suit between the parties arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, (b) hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action, claim or suit, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such action, claim or suit brought in one of the above-named courts should be dismissed on grounds of forum non conveniens, or improper venue should be transferred or removed to any court other than one of the above-named courts, or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other proceeding in any other court other than one of the above-named courts, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (c) hereby agrees not to commence any such action, claim or suit other than before one of the above-named courts.

or violations of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. Each Party further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach or violation, it will not assert that the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

SECTION 7.13. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.
