4. Unrestricted Shares Repurchase.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Executive shall have the right and option on any Unrestricted Shares Repurchase Date after the date that Executive ceases to be employed as Chairman or Chief Executive Officer of Holdings to have Holdings or its assigns repurchase all or any portion of the Unrestricted Shares held by Executive or any Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) as of the date of such Repurchase Date.
(b) The purchase price for the Unrestricted Shares subject to the Unrestricted Shares Repurchase (the “Unrestricted Shares Repurchase Price”) shall be the greater of (i) the fair market value (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the amount of the Accrued Dividends on the shares of Unrestricted Participating Preferred Stock) of the Unrestricted Shares as of the Unrestricted Shares Repurchase Date as determined by the Board of Directors of Holdings (the “Board”) or (ii) $2,750,083.14 plus the Accrued Dividends on the shares of Unrestricted Participating Preferred Stock as of the Unrestricted Shares Repurchase Date.

connection with the most recent quarterly valuation performed for Holdings, or (iii) $2,750,083.14 plus the Accrued Dividends on the shares of Unrestricted Participating Preferred Stock as of the Unrestricted Shares Repurchase Date. For all purposes herein, the “Accrued Dividends” with respect to the Unrestricted Participating Preferred Stock shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Holdings (the “Charter”), which, for the sake of clarity, shall mean that the Accrued Dividends on each share of Unrestricted Participating Preferred Stock shall accrue on a daily basis at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum of the sum of the Liquidation Value (as defined in the Charter) thereof plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon from and including May 5, 2010 to and including the Unrestricted Shares Repurchase Date.
(c) Executive or, in the event that Executive dies or has a Permanent Disability (as defined in Executive’s Amended and Restated Executive Employment and Non-Competition Agreement), his legal representatives shall effect the Unrestricted Shares Repurchase (if so elected by Executive or his legal representatives as the case may be) by delivering or mailing to Holdings (and/or, if applicable, any Permitted Transferees) written notice at least sixty (60) days prior to the Unrestricted Shares Repurchase Date (the “Unrestricted Shares Repurchase Notice Date”). Upon such notification, Executive and any Permitted Transferees shall promptly surrender to Holdings any certificates representing the Unrestricted Shares being purchased, together with a duly executed stock power for the transfer of such Unrestricted Shares to Holdings or Holdings’ assignee or assignees in the form substantially attached hereto as EXHIBIT D.

2. Repurchase Right.
(a) Repurchase. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event or the Bankruptcy of the Grantee, the Company or its assigns shall have the right and option to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares held by the Grantee or any Permitted Transferee as of the date of such Termination Event or Bankruptcy. In addition, upon the Bankruptcy of any of the Grantee’s Permitted Transferees, the Company or its assigns shall have the right and option to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares held by such Permitted Transferee as of the date of such Bankruptcy. The purchase and sale arrangements contemplated by the preceding sentences of this Section 3(a) are referred to herein as the “Repurchase.”

The per share purchase price of the Shares subject to the Repurchase (the “Repurchase Price”) shall be, subject to adjustment as provided above, (i) in the case of Shares which are Vested Shares as of the date of the event giving rise to the Repurchase, (x) the fair market value of such Vested Shares as of such date as determined by the Board if such event giving rise to the Repurchase is a Without Cause Termination Event or (y) the Per Share Purchase Price if such event giving rise to the Repurchase is a For Cause Termination Event, a Performance-Related Termination Event or a Bankruptcy, and (ii) in the case of Restricted Shares, the Per Share Purchase Price. The Repurchase Right with respect to Vested Shares shall terminate in accordance with Section 10(b).
(c) Closing Procedure. The Company or its assigns shall effect the Repurchase (if so elected) by delivering or mailing to the Grantee (and/or, if applicable, any Permitted Transferees or his personal representative in the event of the Permanent Disability (as defined in Grantee’s Amended and Restated Executive Employment and Non-Competition Agreement) of Grantee) written notice within six (6) months after the Termination Event or Bankruptcy, specifying a date within such six-month period in which the Repurchase shall be effected. Upon such notification, the Grantee (and/or, if applicable, any Permitted Transferees or his personal representative in the event of the
Permanent Disability of Grantee) shall promptly surrender to the Company any certificates representing the Shares being purchased, together with a duly executed stock power for the transfer of such Shares to the Company or the Company’s assignee or assignees. Upon the Company’s or its assignee’s receipt of the certificates from the Grantee (and/or, if applicable, any Permitted Transferees or his personal representative in the event of the Permanent Disability of Grantee), the Company or its assignee or assignees shall deliver to him, her or them a check for the Repurchase Price of the Shares being purchased, provided, however, that the Company may pay the Repurchase Price for such shares by offsetting and canceling any indebtedness then owed by the Grantee to the Company. At such time, the Grantee (and/or, if applicable, any Permitted Transferees or his personal representative in the event of the Permanent Disability of Grantee) shall deliver to the Company the certificate or certificates representing the Shares so repurchased, duly endorsed for transfer, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances. The Repurchase right specified herein shall survive and remain in effect as to Restricted Shares following and notwithstanding any public offering by or merger or other transaction involving the Company and certificates representing such Restricted Shares shall bear legends to such effect, subject to Section 10(b) below.
3. Legend. Any certificate(s) representing the Shares shall carry substantially the same legend as set forth in Section 3.02(a) of the Stockholders’ Agreement.
4. Escrow Arrangement.
(a) Escrow. In order to carry out the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement more effectively, the Company shall hold the Shares in escrow together with separate stock powers executed by the Grantee in blank for transfer, and any Permitted Transferee shall, as an additional condition to any transfer of Shares, execute a like stock power as to such Shares. The Company shall not dispose of the Shares except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In the event of any repurchase by the Company (or any of its assigns), the Company is hereby authorized by the Grantee and any Permitted Transferee, as the Grantee’s and each such Permitted Transferee’s attorney-in-fact, to date and complete the stock powers necessary for the transfer of the Shares being purchased and to transfer such Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. At such time as any Shares are no longer subject to the Company’s repurchase, first refusal and drag along rights, the Company shall, at the written request of the Grantee, deliver to the Grantee (or the relevant Permitted Transferee) a certificate representing such Shares with the balance of the Shares (if any) to be held in escrow pursuant to this Section 6.
(b) Remedy. Without limitation of any other provision of this Agreement or other rights, in the event that the Grantee, any Permitted Transferees or any other person or entity is required to sell the Grantee’s Shares pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement or pursuant to the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement and in the further event that he or she refuses or for any reason fails to deliver to the designated purchaser of such Shares the certificate or certificates evidencing such Shares together with a related stock power, such designated purchaser may deposit the applicable
purchase price for such Shares with a bank designated by the Company, or with the Company’s independent public accounting firm, as agent or trustee, or in escrow, for the Grantee, any Permitted Transferees or other person or entity, to be held by such bank or accounting firm for the benefit of and for delivery to him, her, them or it, and/or, in its discretion, pay such purchase price by offsetting any indebtedness then owed by the Grantee as provided above. Upon any such deposit and/or offset by the designated purchaser of such amount and upon notice to the person or entity who was required to sell the Shares to be sold pursuant to the provisions of Section 3, such Shares shall at such time be deemed to have been sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to such purchaser, the holder thereof shall have no further rights thereto (other than the right to withdraw the payment thereof held in escrow, if applicable), and the Company shall record such transfer in its stock transfer book or in any appropriate manner.
5. Withholding Taxes. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Grantee, or from the Shares held pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the minimum federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the purchase of the Shares by the Grantee. In furtherance of the foregoing the Grantee agrees to elect, in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to recognize ordinary income in the year of acquisition of the Shares, and to pay to the Company all withholding taxes determined to be due with respect to such election, based on the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such Shares as of the Effective Date over the purchase price for such Shares.
6. Assignment. At the discretion of the Board, the Company shall have the right to assign the right to exercise its rights with respect to the Repurchase to any Person or Persons, in whole or in part in any particular instance, upon the same terms and conditions applicable to the exercise thereof by the Company, and such assignee or assignees of the Company shall then take and hold any Shares so acquired subject to such terms as may be specified by the Company in connection with any such assignment.
7. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Lockup provision. The Grantee and each Permitted Transferee shall agree, if requested by the Company and any underwriter engaged by the Company, not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any securities of the Company (including, without limitation pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or any successor or similar exemptive rule hereafter in effect)) held by them for such period following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed under the Act as set forth in Section 5.03 of the Stockholders Agreement.
(b) Termination. The Company’s Repurchase right with respect to Vested Shares under Section 3 shall terminate upon the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering or upon consummation of any Sale Event, in either case as a result of which shares of the Company (or successor entity) of the same class as the Shares are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act of 1934 and publicly traded
on NASDAQ/NMS or any national security exchange; provided, however, that all other provisions shall remain in effect following the same until all of the Shares have become Vested Shares.
(c) Record Owner; Dividends. The Grantee and any Permitted Transferees, during the duration of this Agreement, shall be considered the record owners of and shall be entitled to vote the Shares if and to the extent the Shares are entitled to voting rights.

2. Repurchase Right.
(a) Repurchase. Immediately prior to the earliest to occur of (i) a Termination Event, (ii) a Sale Event that does not constitute a Xxx Equity Qualified Liquidation Event (a “Non Qualifying Sale Event”), or (iii) the Bankruptcy of the Grantee, the Company or its assigns shall have the right and option to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares held by the Grantee or any Permitted Transferee as of the date of such Termination Event, Non Qualifying Sale Event, or Bankruptcy. In addition, upon the Bankruptcy of any of the Grantee’s Permitted Transferees, the Company or its assigns shall have the right and option to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares held by such Permitted Transferee as of the date of such Bankruptcy. The purchase and sale arrangements contemplated by the preceding sentences of this Section 3(a) are referred to herein as the “Repurchase.”
(b) Repurchase Price. The per share purchase price of the Shares subject to the Repurchase (the “Repurchase Price”) shall be, subject to adjustment as provided above, (i) in the case of Shares which are Vested Shares as of the date of the event giving rise to the Repurchase, (x) the fair market value of such Vested Shares as of such date as determined by the Board if such event giving rise to the Repurchase is a Without Cause Termination Event or (y) the Per Share Purchase Price if such event giving rise to the Repurchase is a For Cause Termination Event, a Performance-Related Termination Event or a Bankruptcy, and (ii) in the case of Restricted Shares, the Per Share Purchase Price. The Repurchase Right with respect to Vested Shares shall terminate in accordance with Section 10(b).
(c) Closing Procedure. The Company or its assigns shall effect the Repurchase (if so elected) by delivering or mailing to the Grantee (and/or, if applicable, any Permitted Transferees or his personal representative in the event of the Permanent Disability (as defined in Grantee’s Amended and Restated Executive Employment and Non-Competition Agreement) of Grantee) written notice either immediately prior to or within six (6) months after the Termination Event, the Non Qualifying Sale Event or Bankruptcy, specifying a date within such six-month period in which the Repurchase shall be effected. Upon such notification, the Grantee (and/or, if applicable, any Permitted Transferees or his personal representative in the event of the Permanent Disability of Grantee) shall promptly surrender to the Company any certificates representing the Shares being purchased, together with a duly executed stock power for the transfer of such Shares to the Company or the Company’s assignee or assignees. Upon the Company’s or its assignee’s receipt of the certificates from the Grantee (and/or, if applicable, any Permitted Transferees or his personal representative in the event of the Permanent Disability of Grantee), the Company or its assignee or assignees shall deliver to him, her or them a check for the Repurchase Price of the Shares being purchased, provided, however, that the Company may pay the Repurchase Price for such shares by offsetting and canceling any indebtedness then
17
owed by the Grantee to the Company. At such time, the Grantee (and/or, if applicable, any Permitted Transferees or his personal representative in the event of the Permanent Disability of Grantee) shall deliver to the Company the certificate or certificates representing the Shares so repurchased, duly endorsed for transfer, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances. The Repurchase right specified herein shall survive and remain in effect as to Restricted Shares following and notwithstanding any public offering by or merger or other transaction involving the Company and certificates representing such Restricted Shares shall bear legends to such effect, subject to Section 10(b) below.
3. Legend. Any certificate(s) representing the Shares shall carry substantially the same legend as set forth in Section 3.02(a) of the Stockholders’ Agreement.
4. Escrow Arrangement.
(a) Escrow. In order to carry out the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement more effectively, the Company shall hold the Shares in escrow together with separate stock powers executed by the Grantee in blank for transfer, and any Permitted Transferee shall, as an additional condition to any transfer of Shares, execute a like stock power as to such Shares. The Company shall not dispose of the Shares except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In the event of any repurchase by the Company (or any of its assigns), the Company is hereby authorized by the Grantee and any Permitted Transferee, as the Grantee’s and each such Permitted Transferee’s attorney-in-fact, to date and complete the stock powers necessary for the transfer of the Shares being purchased and to transfer such Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. At such time as any Shares are no longer subject to the Company’s repurchase, first refusal and drag along rights, the Company shall, at the written request of the Grantee, deliver to the Grantee (or the relevant Permitted Transferee) a certificate representing such Shares with the balance of the Shares (if any) to be held in escrow pursuant to this Section 6.
(b) Remedy. Without limitation of any other provision of this Agreement or other rights, in the event that the Grantee, any Permitted Transferees or any other person or entity is required to sell the Grantee’s Shares pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement and in the further event that he or she refuses or for any reason fails to deliver to the designated purchaser of such Shares the certificate or certificates evidencing such Shares together with a related stock power, such designated purchaser may deposit the applicable purchase price for such Shares with a bank designated by the Company, or with the Company’s independent public accounting firm, as agent or trustee, or in escrow, for the Grantee, any Permitted Transferees or other person or entity, to be held by such bank or accounting firm for the benefit of and for delivery to him, her, them or it, and/or, in its discretion, pay such purchase price by offsetting any indebtedness then owed by the Grantee as provided above. Upon any such deposit and/or offset by the designated purchaser of such amount and upon notice to the person or entity who was required to sell the Shares to be sold pursuant to the provisions of Section 3, such Shares shall at such time be deemed to have been sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to such purchaser, the holder thereof shall have no further rights thereto (other than the right to withdraw the payment thereof held in escrow, if applicable), and the Company shall record such transfer in its stock transfer book or in any appropriate manner.
18
5. Withholding Taxes. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Grantee, or from the Shares held pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the minimum federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the purchase of the Shares by the Grantee. In furtherance of the foregoing the Grantee agrees to elect, in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to recognize ordinary income in the year of acquisition of the Shares, and to pay to the Company all withholding taxes shown as due on his or her Section 83(b) election form, or otherwise ultimately determined to be due with respect to such election, based on the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such Shares as of the Effective Date over the purchase price for such Shares.
6. Assignment. At the discretion of the Board, the Company shall have the right to assign the right to exercise its rights with respect to the Repurchase, in whole or in part in any particular instance, upon the same terms and conditions applicable to the exercise thereof by the Company, and such assignee or assignees of the Company shall then take and hold any Shares so acquired subject to such terms as may be specified by the Company in connection with any such assignment.
7. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Lockup provision. The Grantee and each Permitted Transferee shall agree, if requested by the Company and any underwriter engaged by the Company, not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any securities of the Company (including, without limitation pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or any successor or similar exemptive rule hereafter in effect)) held by them for such period following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed under the Act as set forth in Section 5.03 of the Stockholders Agreement.
(b) Termination. The Company’s Repurchase right with respect to Vested Shares under Section 3 shall terminate upon the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering or upon consummation of any Sale Event, in either case as a result of which shares of the Company (or successor entity) of the same class as the Shares are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act of 1934 and publicly traded on NASDAQ/NMS or any national security exchange; provided, however, that all other provisions shall remain in effect following the same until all of the Shares have become Vested Shares.
(c) Record Owner; Dividends. The Grantee and any Permitted Transferees, during the duration of this Agreement, shall be considered the record owners of and shall be entitled to vote the Shares if and to the extent the Shares are entitled to voting rights. The Grantee and any Permitted Transferees shall be entitled to receive all dividends and any other distributions declared on the Shares; provided, however, that the Company is under no duty to declare any such dividends or to make any such distribution.
(d) Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree and declare that legal remedies are inadequate to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and that equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
19
(e) Change and Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Grantee.
(f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles.
(g) Headings. The headings are intended only for convenience in finding the subject matter and do not constitute part of the text of this Agreement and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(h) Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
(i) Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications shall be in writing and be deemed given when delivered personally, by telex or facsimile transmission or when received if mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company or the Grantee shall be addressed as set forth underneath their signatures below, or to such other address or addresses as may have been furnished by such party in writing to the other. Notices to any holder of the Shares other than the Grantee shall be addressed to the address furnished by such holder to the Company.
(j) Benefit and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, assigns, personal or legal representatives, estates, executors, administrators, heirs and beneficiaries. All amounts payable to Grantee hereunder shall be paid, in the event of Grantee’s death, to Grantee’s estate, heirs or representatives. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any stock-for-stock merger in which the Company is not the surviving entity, shares of the Company’s successor issued in respect of the Shares shall remain subject to vesting and the Repurchase right of first refusal hereunder. The Company has the right to assign this Agreement, and such assignee shall become entitled to all the rights of the Company hereunder to the extent of such assignment.
Dispute Resolution. Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity hereof shall be finally settled by binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “J.A.M.S. Rules”). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, in the borough of Manhattan.
The parties covenant and agree that the arbitration shall commence within 60 days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional
20
depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party shall provide to the other, no later than seven (7) business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a party’s witness or expert. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith. This Section 9(k) applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm.
Each of the parties hereto (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any United States District Court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, 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 (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto. Final judgment against any party hereto in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.
(k) Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.
(l) Conflict with Other Agreements. For so long as the Stockholders Agreement is in full force and effect, this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement. To the extent any of the provisions of this Agreement conflict or are inconsistent with any of the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement or the Plan, the Stockholders Agreement shall control.
