(i) With respect to Stock, sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the shares of Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share price equal to Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date (the “Section 4 Repurchase Price”); and
(ii) With respect to any outstanding, vested Options, sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the vested Options then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Section 4 Repurchase Price over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares, which Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment. In the event the Management Stockholder Entity elects to sell under this Section 4(a)(ii) and the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable Options granted to the Management Stockholder shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof. In addition, and for the avoidance of doubt, all unvested Options shall be terminated and cancelled without any payment therefor.
(b) In the event the applicable Management Stockholder Entities intend to exercise their rights pursuant to Section 4(a), such Management Stockholder Entities shall send written notice to the Company, at any time during the applicable period set forth in Section 4(a) (the “Put Period”), of their intention to sell shares of Stock in exchange for the payment referred to in Section 4(a)(i) and/or to sell such Options in exchange for the payment referred to in Section 4(a)(ii) and shall indicate the number of shares of Stock to be sold and the number of Options (based on the number of Exercisable Option Shares) to be sold (the “Redemption Notice”). The completion of the purchases shall take place at the principal office of the Company on no later than the twentieth business day (such date to be determined by the Company) after the giving of the Redemption Notice. The applicable Repurchase Price (including any payment with respect to the Options as described above) shall be paid by delivery to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, at the option of the Company, of a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of each of the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the Stock so purchased and appropriate documents cancelling the Options so terminated appropriately endorsed or executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities or any duly authorized representative.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, if there exists and is continuing a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under any loan, guarantee or other agreement under which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has borrowed money or if the repurchase referred to in Section 4(a) (or Section 5 below, as the case may be) would result in a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any affiliate of the Company under any such agreement or if a repurchase would not be permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) (or if the Company reincorporates in another state, the business corporation law of such state) or any federal or state securities laws or regulations (each such occurrence being an “Event”), the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase any of the Stock or the Options from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, to the extent the
5
Company is prohibited from purchasing such Stock and Options by the existence of the Event, for cash but instead, with respect to such portion with respect to which cash settlement is so prohibited, will, subject to the Management Stockholder Entities’ rescission rights below, satisfy its obligations with respect to the Management Stockholder Entities’ exercise of their rights under Section 4(a) by delivering to the applicable Management Stockholder Entity a promissory note with a principal amount equal to the amount payable under this Section 4 that was not paid in cash, having terms acceptable to the Company’s (and its affiliate’s, as applicable) lenders and permitted under the Company’s (and its affiliate’s, as applicable) debt instruments but which in any event (i) shall be mandatorily repayable promptly and to the extent that an Event no longer prohibits the payment of cash to the applicable Management Stockholder Entity pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) shall bear interest at a rate equal to the effective rate of interest in respect of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated subordinated public debt securities (including any original issue discount). Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 4(d), if an Event exists that prohibits the Company from purchasing Stock and Options, above, and is continuing for ninety (90) days, prior to completion of such purchase by the Company, the Management Stockholder Entities shall be permitted by written notice to rescind any Redemption Notice with respect to that portion of the Stock and Options to be repurchased by the Company from the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Section 4 with the note described in the foregoing sentence, provided that, the Management Stockholder Entity shall have another thirty (30) days from the date the Event ceases to prohibit such purchase to give another Redemption Notice on the terms applicable to the first Redemption Notice.
(d) Effect of Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except for any payment obligation of the Company which has arisen prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control this Section 4 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the occurrence of such Change in Control.

In the event the Company elects to repurchase under this Section 5(b)(II) and the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding and exercisable vested Options shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof; and
(III) With respect to unvested Options, all outstanding unvested Options shall automatically be terminated without any payment in respect thereof.

(I) With respect to any Stock, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the shares of such Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value as of the Repurchase Calculation Date (such purchase price, the “Section 5(c) Repurchase Price”); and
(II) With respect to any outstanding, vested Options, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the exercisable vested Options then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Section 5(c) Repurchase Price over the Option Exercise Price, and (y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares (solely relating to vested Options). All unvested Options held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities will terminate immediately without payment in respect thereof.
(d) Call Notice. The Company shall have a period (the “Call Period”) of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of any Call Event (or, if later, with respect to a Section 5(a) Call Event, the date after discovery of, and the applicable cure period for, an impermissible transfer constituting a Section 5(a) Call Event) in which to give notice in writing to the Management Stockholder of its election to exercise its rights and obligations

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event exists that causes the Company to be prohibited from such purchase and is continuing for ninety (90) days, prior to closing such purchase the Management Stockholder Entities shall be permitted by written notice to cause the Company to rescind any Repurchase Notice with respect to that portion of the Stock and Options repurchased by the Company from the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Section 5 with the note described in the foregoing sentence, provided that, the Company shall have another thirty (30) days from the date the Event ceases to prohibit such purchase to give another Repurchase Notice on the terms applicable to the first Repurchase Notice.

(In the event the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable Options shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof.) Upon the occurrence of such net settlement of all exercisable Options, the Put Period or the Call Period, as applicable, shall be deemed to be the period that is 30 days following the date that is six months after the receipt by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of the Net Settled Stock, during which time the Company may, on delivery of Repurchase Notice (or upon delivery of a Redemption Notice), purchase (or be required to purchase in the case of Section 4) all (in the case of a purchase pursuant to Section 4) or all or any portion (in the case of a purchase pursuant to Section 5) of the Net Settled Stock held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, at a per share price equal to the applicable Repurchase Price for Option Stock identified in Section 4 or Section 5, as applicable.

(b) If the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Company will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, to the extent required from time to time to enable the Management Stockholder to sell shares of Stock, subject to compliance with the provisions hereof without registration under the Exchange Act within the limitations of the exemptions provided by (A) Rule 144 under the Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (B) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7(b), the Company may de-register under Section 12 of the Exchange Act if it is then permitted to do so pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and, in such circumstances, shall not be required hereby to file any reports which may be necessary in order for Rule 144 or any similar rule or regulation under the Act to be available. Nothing in this Section 7(b) shall be deemed to limit in any manner the restrictions on transfers of Stock contained in this Agreement.
(c) Upon an initial Public Offering, the Company will, as promptly as practicable, file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Act pursuant to which all Option Stock will be registered and list the Option Stock for trading on the exchange on which shares of Common Stock are then listed.

14
(b) All Stock purchased or held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be “Registrable Securities” as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement.
(c) In the event of a sale of Common Stock by any of the Investors in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, unless the Board shall have determined to effect a Transfer Restriction Waiver in which case the provisions of Section 8(h) shall apply, the Company will promptly notify each Management Stockholder (a “Piggyback Notice”) of any proposed registration (a “Proposed Registration”). If within five (5) days of the receipt by the Management Stockholder of such Piggyback Notice, the Company receives from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of Management Stockholder a written request (a “Request”) to register shares of Stock held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (which Request will be irrevocable unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Management Stockholder and the Company), shares of Stock will be so registered as provided in this Section 8; provided, however, that for each such registration statement only one Request, which shall be executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, may be submitted for all Registrable Securities held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities.
(d) The maximum number of shares of Stock which will be registered pursuant to a Request will be the number of shares of Stock then held by the Management Stockholder Entities, including all shares of Stock which the Management Stockholder Entities are then entitled to acquire under an unexercised Option to the extent then exercisable, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Stock being sold by holders of Registrable Securities and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Stock owned by the holders of Registrable Securities, as reduced pursuant to Section 2(b) or 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, if applicable.
(e) Upon delivering a Request a Management Stockholder will, if requested by the Company, execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney having customary terms and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to the shares of Stock to be registered pursuant to this Section 8 (a “Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney”). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will provide, among other things, that the Management Stockholder will deliver to and deposit in custody with the custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates (to the extent applicable) representing such shares of Stock (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and attorney-in-fact as the Management Stockholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on the Management Stockholder’s behalf with respect to the matters specified therein, subject to the obligations of the Investors and the Company to the Management Stockholder under this Agreement.
(f) The Management Stockholder agrees that he will execute such other agreements as the Company may reasonably request to further evidence the provisions of this Section 8, including reasonable and customary lock-up agreements.
(g) This Section 8 will terminate upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.
15
(h) If the Board shall have elected to effect the Transfer Restriction Waiver in lieu of Piggyback Registration Rights in accordance with Section 8(a), the Company will notify each Management Stockholder on or promptly following the completion of the Public Offering giving rise to the Transfer Restriction Waiver which notice shall include: (A) the number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Investors in such Public Offering and (B) the number of shares of Stock to which the waiver of transfer restrictions shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions in Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement will apply to such shares of Stock notwithstanding the Transfer Restriction Waiver.
9. Rights to Negotiate Repurchase Price. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the Company from purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring for value shares of Stock or Options from the Management Stockholder, at any time, upon such terms and conditions, and for such price, as may be mutually agreed upon in writing between the Parties, whether or not at the time of such purchase, redemption or acquisition circumstances exist which specifically grant the Company the right to purchase, or the Management Stockholder the right to sell, shares of Stock or any Options under the terms of this Agreement; provided that no such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be consummated, and no agreement with respect to any such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be entered into, without the prior approval of the Board.

No provision of this Agreement is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder or with respect hereto.
15. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Company at any time upon notice to the Management Stockholder thereof; provided that any amendment (i) that disadvantages the Management Stockholder in any respect (other than in a de minimis manner) shall not be effective unless and until the Management Stockholder has consented thereto in writing and (ii) that disadvantages a class of stockholders in more than a de minimis way but less than a material way shall require the consent of a majority of the equity interests held by such affected class of stockholders.
