a Permitted Transferee (the “Drag-Along
Buyer”), the Selling Shareholders may deliver written notice (a
“Drag-Along
Notice”) to each other Shareholder (the “Drag-Along
Shareholders”), stating that such Selling Shareholders wish to
exercise their rights under this Section 4.4 with respect to such
Transfer, and setting forth the name and address of the Drag-Along Buyer,
the number of Securities proposed to be Transferred, the proposed amount
and form of the consideration, and all other material terms and conditions
offered by the Drag-Along Buyer.
|
|||
(b)
Upon
delivery of a Drag-Along Notice, each Drag-Along Shareholder shall be
required to Transfer that percentage of its Securities equal to the
percentage of the Securities held by the Selling Shareholders which are
being Transferred to the Drag-Along Buyer, upon the same terms and
conditions (including, without limitation, as to price, time of payment
and form of consideration) as agreed by the Selling Shareholders and the
Drag-Along Buyer, and shall make to the Drag-Along Buyer representations,
warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements comparable to those made
by the Selling Shareholders in connection with the Transfer (other than
any non-competition or similar agreements or covenants that would bind the
Drag-Along Shareholder or its Affiliates), and shall agree to the same
conditions to the Transfer as the Selling Shareholders agree, it being
understood that all such representations, warranties, covenants,
indemnities and agreements shall be made by each Selling Shareholder and
each Drag-Along Shareholder severally and not jointly and that, except
with respect to individual representations, warranties, covenants,
indemnities and other agreements of the Drag-Along Shareholder as to the
unencumbered title to its Securities and the power, authority and legal
right to Transfer such Securities, the aggregate amount of the liability
of the Drag-Along Shareholder shall not exceed either (i) such Drag-Along
Shareholder’s pro
rata portion of any such liability, to be determined in accordance
with such Drag-Along Shareholder’s portion of the total number of
Securities included in such Transfer or (ii) the proceeds to such
Drag-Along Shareholder in connection with such
Transfer.
|
|||
|
|||
(c)
In the
event that any such Transfer is structured as a merger, consolidation, or
similar business combination, each Drag-Along Shareholder agrees to (i)
vote in favor of the transaction, (ii) take such other
Necessary Action as may be required to effect such transaction (subject to
Section 4.4(b)) and (iii) take all action to waive any dissenters,
appraisal or other similar rights with respect
thereto.
|
|||
(d) If any
Drag-Along Shareholder fails to deliver to the Drag-Along Buyer the
certificate or certificates evidencing Securities to be sold pursuant to
this Section 4.4, the Selling Shareholders may, at their
option, in addition to all other remedies they may have, deposit the
purchase price (including any promissory note constituting all or any
portion thereof) for such Securities with any national bank or trust
company having combined capital, surplus and undivided profits in excess
of $100 million (the “Escrow Agent”),
and the Company shall cancel on its books the certificate or certificates
representing such Securities and thereupon all of such Drag-Along
Shareholder’s rights in and to such Securities shall
terminate. Thereafter, upon delivery to the Company by such
Drag-Along Shareholder of the certificate or certificates evidencing such
Securities (duly endorsed, or with stock powers duly endorsed, for
transfer, with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any liens or
encumbrances, and with any stock transfer tax stamps affixed), the Selling
Shareholders shall instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver the purchase price
(without any interest from the date of the closing to the date of such
delivery, any such interest to accrue to the Company) to such Drag-Along
Shareholder.

9
(a)
Any Transfer of Securities to any Transferee of a Shareholder, which
Transfer is otherwise in compliance herewith, shall be permitted hereunder
only if such Transferee agrees in writing that it shall, upon such
Transfer, assume with respect to such Securities the transferor’s
obligations under this Agreement and become a party to this Agreement for
such purpose and makes the representations and warranties set forth in
Article II of this Agreement, and any other agreement or instrument
executed and delivered by such transferor in respect of the
Securities.
|
|||
(b)
Upon
any Transfer of Securities to any Person other than a Shareholder, which
Transfer is otherwise in compliance herewith, the transferee shall, upon
such Transfer, assume all rights held
by the transferor at the time of the Transfer with respect to such
Securities, provided that no
Transferee (other than any Permitted Transferee of a Shareholder) shall
acquire any of the rights provided in Article III by reason of such
Transfer.
|
|||
(c)
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 4.5 shall not apply to (i) any Transfer to the
public under a Registration Statement, or (ii) any Transfer made pursuant
to Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ARTICLE
V.
GENERAL
PROVISIONS
Section
5.1. Waiver by
Shareholders. The rights and obligations contained in this
Agreement are in addition to the relevant provisions of the Governing Documents
in force from time to time and shall be construed to comply with such
provisions. To the extent that this Agreement is determined to be in
contravention of the Governing Documents, this Agreement shall constitute a
waiver by each Shareholder, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable
laws, of any right such Shareholder may have pursuant to the Governing Documents
that is inconsistent with this Agreement.
Section
5.2. Demand
Registrations. The Shareholders agree that the GS Parties
shall be entitled to exercise one of the five Demand Registrations (as defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement) that the Holders (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement) have been granted pursuant to Section 2.1(d) of
the Registration Rights Agreement and upon the written request of the GS
Parties, the THL Parties shall take all Necessary Action to cause the Holders’
Representative (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) to take all
such actions to effect such Demand Registration in accordance with Section 2.1
of the Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, the THL Parties
shall cause the Holders’ Representative not to take any action or refrain from
taking any action or make any determination under Article II of the Registration
Rights Agreement with respect to such Demand Registration without the prior
written consent of the GS Parties. In addition, (i) at the request of
the GS Parties, the THL Parties shall take all Necessary Action to cause the
Holders’ Representative to request that the Company refile a new automatic shelf
registration statement as contemplated by Section 2.4(t) of the Registration
Rights Agreement, and (ii) if the Holders’ Representative is to receive an
opinion contemplated by Section 2.5 of the Registration Rights Agreement, the
THL Parties shall take all Necessary Action to cause the Holders’ Representative
to accept only such opinion as is
10
reasonably
satisfactory to the GS Parties. The THL Parties shall be entitled to
exercise the remaining four (4) Demand Registrations that the Holders have
been granted pursuant to Section 2.1(d) of the Registration Rights
Agreement.
Section
5.3. Certain
Actions. To the extent that the THL Parties take any actions
with respect to the Voting Date as set forth in Section 4.1(b)(x) of the
Purchase Agreement or make any determinations with respect to the Voting Date in
accordance with the definition of “Voting Date” as set forth in each of the
Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series B Preferred
Stock, the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series B-1
Preferred Stock and the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of
the Series D Participating Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, the THL
Parties shall provide prior notice to, and consult in good faith with, the GS
Parties with respect to any such actions or determinations, to the extent
practicable.
Section
5.4. Assignment;
Benefit. The rights and obligations hereunder shall not be
assignable without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto except
as provided under Article IV. Any assignment of rights or obligations
in violation of this Section 5.2 shall be null and void. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Section
5.5. Freedom to Pursue
Opportunities. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree
that: (i) each Shareholder and Sponsor Director has the right to, and shall have
no duty (contractual or otherwise) to refrain from, directly or indirectly
engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, including those deemed to be competing with
the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and (ii) in the event that a Shareholder
or Sponsor Director acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that
both the Company or its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such Shareholder or
any other Person, on the other hand, might reasonably be deemed to have pursued
or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, such
Shareholder or Sponsor Director shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise) to
communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or other Shareholders, as the case may be, and, notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be liable to the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or any holder of Equity Securities of the Company for
breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that such
Shareholder or Sponsor Director, 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 or any of its subsidiaries or other
Shareholders.
Section
5.6. Termination. The
rights and obligations of a Shareholder under this Agreement shall terminate at
such time as such Shareholder no longer owns any Securities.
Section
5.7. Subsequent Acquisition of
Shares. Any Equity Securities acquired subsequent to the date
hereof by a Shareholder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
Section
5.8. 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,
11
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
5.9. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any prior
agreement or understanding among them with respect to the matters referred to
herein. There are no representations, warranties, promises,
inducements, covenants or undertakings relating to shares of Securities, other
than those expressly set forth or referred to herein, in the Purchase Agreement
or in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Section
5.10. Amendment. This
Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived except by written
approval of the GSCP Parties, the GSMP Parties and the THL Parties; provided that any amendment,
modification, supplement or wavier that affects Shareholders (other than the
GSCP Parties, the GSMP Parties and the THL Parties) disproportionately vis-à-vis
the GSCP Parties, the GSMP Parties and the THL Parties and results in a material
adverse effect on such Shareholders (the “Affected
Shareholders”) will require the written approval of (i) the GSCP Parties,
(ii) the GSMP Parties, (iii) the THL Parties and (iv) Affected Shareholders
holding a majority of the outstanding Securities then held by all Affected
Shareholders. The execution of a counterpart signature page to this
Agreement after the date hereof by any Person that acquires any Securities shall
only require the consent of the GSCP Parties, the GSMP Parties and the THL
Parties and shall not be deemed an amendment to this Agreement so long as such
Person agrees to be treated as a “Shareholder” hereunder.
Section
5.11. Waiver. 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. Waiver by any party
hereto of any breach or default by any other party of any of the terms of this
Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach or default, whether
similar to or different from the breach or default waived. No waiver
of any provision of this Agreement shall be implied from any course of dealing
between the parties hereto or from any failure by any party to assert its or his
or her rights hereunder on any occasion or series of occasions.
Section
5.12. 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.
Section
5.13. 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 shall
be given, made or delivered (and shall be deemed to have been duly given, made
or delivered upon receipt) by personal hand-delivery, by facsimile transmission,
by electronic mail, by mailing the same in a sealed envelope, registered
first-class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by air courier
guaranteeing overnight delivery, addressed to the Shareholder at the following

Section
5.14. Governing
Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY RELATED DISPUTE SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.
Section
5.15. Jurisdiction. EACH
OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CONSENTS TO SUBMIT ITSELF TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION
OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF
NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN THE EVENT ANY DISPUTE ARISES OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, (B)
AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO DENY OR DEFEAT SUCH PERSONAL JURISDICTION BY
MOTION OR OTHER REQUEST FOR LEAVE FROM ANY SUCH COURT AND (C) AGREES THAT IT
WILL NOT BRING ANY ACTION RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT OTHER THAN A
FEDERAL OR STATE COURT
13
Section
5.16. Waiver of Jury
Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN
RELATION TO THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. Any
Shareholder may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section 5.14 with
any court as written evidence of the consent of the Shareholders to the waiver
of their rights to trial by jury.
Section
5.17. Specific
Performance. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will
be impossible to measure the money 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 seek 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
5.18. No Third Party
Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided herein, this
Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person, except for the parties
hereto, any rights or remedies hereunder.
