Within ninety (90) days of the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Company and the Stockholders shall take all Necessary Action to cause the Board to increase in size by one (1) director to eleven (11) directors and to fill such vacancy with one (1) additional Unaffiliated Director (the “90-Day Unaffiliated Director”) who shall be appointed by a majority of the Board. The foregoing directors shall be divided into three classes of directors, each of whose members shall serve for staggered three-year terms as follows:

(1) the class I directors shall include one (1) TPG Director, one (1) Oaktree Director, the Chief Executive Officer and one (1) Unaffiliated Director;

The initial term of the class III directors shall expire immediately following the Company’s 2016 annual meeting at which directors are elected.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.1(a) is applicable solely to the initial composition of the Board and shall have no further force or effect after the 90-Day Unaffiliated Director is appointed to the Board (except that (i) a director shall remain a member of the class of directors to which he or she was assigned in accordance with this Section 3.1(a) and (ii) the initial terms of each class of directors shall expire as set forth in this Section 3.1(a)).

(b) Principal Sponsor Representation. For so long as a Principal Sponsor holds a number of shares of Common Stock representing at least the percentage of shares of Common Stock held by such Principal Sponsor as of the closing of all of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Put/Call Agreement (or, if no such closing occurs prior to June 30, 2013, the Closing) shown below, there shall be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors at each applicable annual or

special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected that number of individuals designated by such Principal Sponsor (each, a “Principal Sponsor Designee”) that, if elected, will result in such Principal Sponsor having the number of directors serving on the Board that is shown below.


Percent	Number of Directors
50% or greater		3
Less than 50% but greater than or equal to 10%		2
Less than 10% but greater than or equal to 5%		1

Upon any decrease in the number of directors that a Principal Sponsor is entitled to designate for election to the Board, such Principal Sponsor shall take all Necessary Action to cause the appropriate number of Principal Sponsor Designees to offer to tender resignation. If such resignation is then accepted by the Board, the Company and the Stockholders shall cause the authorized size of the Board to be reduced accordingly unless the Company with Requisite Investor Approval determines not to reduce the authorized size of the Board.

(c) JHI Representation. For so long as the Principal Sponsors in the aggregate own at least fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Principal Sponsors as of the closing of all of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Put/Call Agreement (or, if no such closing occurs prior to June 30, 2013, the Closing) and JHI owns at least fifty percent (50%) in the aggregate of the Class A Units and at least fifty percent (50%) in the aggregate of the Class J Units that JHI holds as of such time, there shall be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors at each applicable annual or special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected that number of individuals designated by JHI (each, a “JHI Designee”) that, if elected, will result in there being one (1) JHI Director serving on the Board. Upon any decrease in the number of directors that JHI is entitled to designate for election to the Board, JHI shall take all Necessary Action to cause the JHI Designee to offer to tender resignation. If such resignation is accepted by the Board, then the Company and the Stockholders shall cause the authorized size of the Board to be reduced accordingly unless the Company with Requisite Investor Approval determines not to reduce the authorized size of the Board.

(d) CEO Representation. Subject to the last sentence of Section 3.1(e), if the term of the Chief Executive Officer as a director on the Board is to expire in conjunction with any annual or special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected, the Chief Executive Officer shall be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election.

(e) Vacancies. Except as provided in Sections 3.1(b) and 3.1(c), (i) each Investor shall have the exclusive right to remove its designees from the Board, and the Company and the Principal Sponsors shall take all Necessary Action to cause the removal of any such designee at the request of the designating Investor and (ii) each Investor shall have the exclusive right to designate for election to the Board directors to fill vacancies created by reason of death, removal or resignation of its designees to the Board, and the Company and the Principal Sponsors shall take all Necessary Action to cause any such vacancies to be filled by replacement directors designated by such designating Investor as promptly as reasonably practicable;

provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, no Investor shall have the right to designate a replacement director, and the Company and the Principal Sponsors shall not be required to take any action to cause any vacancy to be filled by any such designee, to the extent that election or appointment of such designee to the Board would result in a number of directors designated by such Investor in excess of the number of directors that such Investor is then entitled to designate for membership on the Board pursuant to Section 3.1(b) or Section 3.1(c), as applicable. If the Chief Executive Officer resigns or is terminated for any reason, the Company, the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Sponsors shall take all Necessary Action to remove the Chief Executive Officer from the Board and fill such vacancy with the next Chief Executive Officer in office.

(f) Additional Unaffiliated Directors. For so long as any Principal Sponsor has the right to designate at least one (1) director for nomination under this Agreement, the Company will take all Necessary Action to ensure that the number of directors serving on the Board shall not exceed eleven (11); provided, that the number of directors may be increased if necessary to satisfy the requirements of applicable laws and stock exchange regulations.

(g) Committees. Subject to applicable laws and stock exchange regulations, each Principal Sponsor shall have the right to have a representative appointed to serve on each committee of the Board for so long as such Principal Sponsor has the right to designate at least one (1) director for election to the Board. Subject to applicable laws and stock exchange regulations, each Principal Sponsor shall have the right to have a representative appointed as an observer to any committee of the Board to which such Principal Sponsor (i) does not elect to have a representative appointed or (ii) is prohibited by applicable laws or stock exchange regulations from having a representative appointed, in each case for so long as such Principal Sponsor has the right to designate at least one (1) director for nomination under this Agreement.

(h) Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall reimburse each TPG Director, Oaktree Director, JHI Director, Principal Sponsor Designee and JHI Designee for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such director’s or designee’s participation in the meetings of the Board or any committee of the Board, including reasonable travel, lodging and meal expenses.

(i) D&O Insurance; Indemnification Priority. The Company shall obtain customary director and officer indemnity insurance on commercially reasonable terms. The Company hereby acknowledges that any director, officer or other indemnified person covered by any such indemnity insurance policy (any such Person, an “Indemnitee”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by TPG, Oaktree or one or more of their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby (i) agrees that the Company and any Company subsidiary that provides indemnity shall be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its or their obligations to an Indemnitee shall be primary and any obligation of any Fund Indemnitor to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee shall be secondary), and (ii) irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of an Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such Indemnitee has

sought indemnification from the Company, as the case may be, shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnitee against the Company.

Section 3.2 Voting Agreement. Each Principal Sponsor agrees to cast all votes to which such Principal Sponsor is entitled in respect of its Company Shares, whether at any annual or special meeting, by written consent or otherwise, so as to cause to be elected to the Board those individuals designated in accordance with Section 3.1(a)-(f) and to otherwise effect the intent of this Article III.

The Company shall take all Necessary Action to cause the composition of the board of directors of U.S. Parent and the board of directors of Canadian Parent to be identical at all times to that of the Board; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.3, in the event that a Principal Sponsor Designee or JHI Designee is not elected to the Board at the applicable annual or special meeting of shareholders at which such nominee is up for election (or re-election) to the Board pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall take all Necessary Action to cause such Principal Sponsor Designee or JHI Designee to be appointed or elected to the board of directors of U.S. Parent and the board of directors of Canadian Parent in place of a director who was not on the slate of nominees recommended by the Board at the time of the annual or special meeting of shareholders at which he or she was not elected (or re-elected) to the Board; provided, further, that the Company shall take all Necessary Action to fill any vacancy caused by the removal or resignation of any such Principal Sponsor Designee or JHI Designee with a replacement director designated by the applicable Principal Sponsor or JHI, as applicable, unless the election or appointment of such a replacement would result in a number of directors designated by such Investor in excess of the number of directors that such Investor is then entitled to designate for membership on the Board pursuant to Section 3.1(b) or Section 3.1(c), as applicable.

Section 3.4 Company and Partnership Activities; Approvals.

same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company, the Partnership or any TMM Company, including those deemed to be competing with the Company, the Partnership or any TMM Company, or (y) directly or indirectly do business with any client, customer or supplier of the Company, the Partnership or any TMM Company; and (ii) in the event that an Investor, any Representative of a Principal Sponsor or any Investor Designee acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for the Company, the Partnership or any TMM Company, such Investor, Representative or Investor Designee shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company, the Partnership, any TMM Company or any of their respective Affiliates, and, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be liable to the Company, the Partnership, any TMM Company or any of their respective Affiliates, subsidiaries, stockholders or other equity holders for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that such Investor, Representative or Investor Designee, directly or indirectly, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person, or does not present such opportunity to the Company, TMM Holdings II Limited Partnership, the Partnership or any of their respective Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.2 shall have independent effect with respect to, and shall not be construed as being in lieu of or otherwise limiting, any separate obligations of any Person under any agreement between the Company and/or the Partnership, including any agreement related to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality or other restrictions on the activities or operations of such Person.

Section 4.3 Assignment; Benefit.

(a) The rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Any attempted assignment of rights or obligations in violation of this Section 4.3 shall be null and void.

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement other than the Indemnitees and the Fund Indemnitors under Section 3.1(i), and the Investors, their Representatives and the Investor Designees under Section 4.2.

Section 4.4 Termination. If not otherwise stipulated, this Agreement shall terminate automatically (without any action by any party hereto) as to each Stockholder as of the later of (i) when such Stockholder no longer owns any shares of Common Stock, or (ii) when such Stockholder no longer has the right to nominate any directors to the Board pursuant to Article III hereof.

Section 4.5 Limits on Transfer or Issuance of Class B Common Stock. The parties each acknowledge and agree that no shares of Class B Common Stock may be Transferred or issued unless a corresponding number of New TMM Units are Transferred or issued therewith (including any transfers or issuances of shares of Class B Common Stock held in treasury or otherwise, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and that the Company will not register any Transfers of shares of Class B Common Stock that do not satisfy this Section 4.5.

Section 4.6 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable such provision shall be construed by limiting it so as to be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent provided by law and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 4.7 Entire Agreement; Amendment.

(a) This Agreement (together with the U.S. Parent Governance Agreement and the Canadian Parent Governance Agreement) sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding, agreement or statement of intent, in each case written or oral, of any kind and every nature with respect hereto. This Agreement or any provision hereof may only be amended, modified or waived, in whole or in part, at any time by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Principal Sponsors with respect to which this Agreement is not terminated; provided that (i) the prior written consent of any Investor shall be required for any amendment, modification or waiver that would have a disproportionate adverse effect in any material respect on the rights of such Investor relative to the other Investors and (ii) the prior written consent of the holders of the Majority in Interest of the Company Shares then held by the Other Stockholders shall be required for any amendment, modification or waiver that would have a disproportionate and adverse effect in any material respect on the rights of Other Stockholders under this Agreement relative to the Investors.

(b) No waiver of any breach of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless such waiver is expressly made in writing and executed and delivered by the party against whom such waiver is claimed. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 4.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Counterpart signature pages to this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or electronic delivery (i.e., by email of a PDF signature page) and each such counterpart signature page will constitute an original for all purposes.

Section 4.9 Notices. Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices, consents, approvals, reports, designations, requests, waivers, elections and other communications authorized or required to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and

Section 4.10 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY RELATED DISPUTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

Section 4.11 Jurisdiction. ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE PARTIES RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR (TO THE EXTENT SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION EXISTS THEREFORE) THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE, AND THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF BOTH SUCH COURTS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. ANY ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT ISSUED BY ONE OF THE FOREGOING COURTS MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY JURISDICTION.

Section 4.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT SUCH PARTY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE DEALINGS OF ANY SHAREHOLDER OR THE GENERAL PARTNER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO THAT THIS SECTION 4.12 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH IT IS RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 4.12 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 4.13 Specific Performance. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them by this Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved party will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such party shall therefore be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled at law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, without the posting of any bond, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Section 4.14 Subsequent Acquisition of Shares. Any equity securities of the Company acquired subsequent to the date hereof by a Stockholder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
