transfer all or any of its Company Shares (the “Specified Shares”) to any Person (the “Proposed
Transferee”) that is not an Affiliate or Permitted Transferee of such Investor and who has made an

give written notice (the “Option Notice”) to the other Investors. The Option Notice shall:
(1) certify that the Selling Investor has received a bona fide written offer to purchase the
Specified Shares and enclose a copy of such offer,
(2) identify the Proposed Transferee who has made such bona fide offer,
(3) state the number of Company Shares the Proposed Transferee has offered to purchase,
(4) state the purchase price per share for the Company Shares to be transferred and other
material terms and conditions of the Proposed Transferee’s offer to purchase the Specified Shares,
and
(5) state the date on which the Option Notice is being sent (the “Notice Date”).
(ii) On or before the twentieth (20th) day after the Notice Date, any other Investor (the
“Exercising Investor”) may exercise an option to purchase all of the Specified Shares for the same
purchase price and on the same terms and conditions as the Proposed Transferee’s offer as set forth
in the Option Notice. The Exercising Investor shall exercise its option by giving written notice to
the Selling Investor (the “Exercise Notice”).
(iii) The closing for the purchase by the Exercising Investor of the Specified Shares under
Section 4.3(c) shall be held at 10:00 a.m. at the principal office of the Company, on the date

other terms for such purchase of the Specified Shares shall be as set forth in the Option Notice.
At such closing, the Selling Investor shall deliver certificates representing the Specified Shares,
duly endorsed for transfer and accompanied by all requisite stock transfer taxes, if any, against
payment of the purchase price therefore, and the Specified Shares shall be free and clear of any
liens, charges, claims or encumbrances (other than restrictions imposed pursuant to applicable
Federal and state securities laws and restrictions imposed by this Agreement) and the Selling
Investor shall so represent and warrant. Each Selling Investor shall further represent and warrant
that it is the record and beneficial owner of the Specified Shares and make such additional
representations and warranties as shall be customary in transactions of a similar nature.
(iv) If the other Investor does not elect to purchase all of the Specified Shares set forth in
the Option Notice, the Selling Investor may transfer the Specified Shares to the Proposed
Transferee named in the Option Notice for the consideration and upon the terms set forth in the
Option Notice. The transfer of the Specified Shares to the Proposed Transferee must be consummated
within a period of ninety (90) days after the date of the Notice Date. Any transfer after the
expiration of such 90-day period and any transfer to a different transferee or for different
consideration or upon terms and conditions different from those set forth in the Option Notice
shall be null and void.
4.4 Tag Along Rights.
(a) LJH may not and shall cause its Affiliates not to, transfer any Company Shares other than
to a Permitted Transferee if such transactions, together with all Company Shares previously
transferred by LJH to one or more third parties, would, if consummated, result in LJH transferring
more than 25% of the aggregate number of Company Shares held by LJH (without giving effect to any
previous transfers pursuant to Section 4.2(b) or (c) or this Section 4.4), unless each of
the Owl Creek Investors are offered a right to sell (the “Tag Along Right”) their Company Shares in
such transfer with LJH. Any sale pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be made after compliance with
the provisions of Section 4.3(a).
(b) At least 20 days prior to any such transfer, LJH will deliver a sale notice to the Owl
Creek Investors specifying the identity of the prospective transferee(s) and disclosing in
reasonable detail the number of Company Shares, the price, which shall be payable solely in cash
at the closing of the transaction or in installments over time, a good faith estimate of the
costs for such transfer and other terms and conditions of the proposed transfer, including, without
limitation, the expected aggregate holdings (in terms of dollars and percentage) by LJH of the
Company Shares immediately after consummation of such proposed transfer. The Owl Creek Investors
who elect to participate in the proposed transfer (the “Tag Along Investors”) shall deliver written
notice of their election to participate to LJH prior to the expiration of such 20-day period.
(c) Each Tag Along Investor will be entitled to sell in such proposed transfer, at the same
price and on the same terms as LJH, a number of Company Shares equal to the product of (x) the
quotient determined by dividing the number of Company Shares then held by such Tag Along Investor
by the aggregate number of Company Shares held by LJH and all Tag Along Investors multiplied by (y)
the number of Company Shares to be sold in such proposed transfer. The number of Company Shares
proposed to be transferred by LJH in the current transfer shall be reduced to the extent necessary
to provide for the sale of Company Shares by each Tag Along Investor exercising its rights
hereunder.
(d) Permitted Transfer. LJH and the Tag Along Investors may transfer the Company
Shares at the price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the sale notice for a period of 60
days from the expiration of the 20-day period commencing on the date of delivery of the sale notice
to the other Investors. Any Company Shares not transferred within such period again shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section 4.4 in connection with any subsequent transfer.
(e) Failure to Exercise Option. The failure of any Investor to give written notice as
specified in this Section 4.4 within the time period specified herein shall be deemed to be a
waiver of its rights under this Section 4.4.
4.5 Related Party Transactions. Each of the Investors agrees that it will not enter
into, renew, extend or be a party to, or permit any of its Affiliates or any Person in which an
Affiliate of an Investor or any of their respective Subsidiaries has an interest as a director,
officer, employee or greater than 5% stockholder, or interest through a relationship with a family
member or any Person related by marriage to a family member, to enter into, renew, extend or be a
party to, any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the

services of any kind) with, or make any loan or advance to, or purchase, assume or guarantee any
Indebtedness (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) to or from, the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, without the prior consent of each of the Investors, which will not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned, provided that (a) LJH may enter into an agreement to purchase or
refinance the CIT Facility if LJH offers to the Owl Creek Investors the ability to participate in
such an agreement on the same terms as the Participation Agreement and (b) the Owl Creek Investors
may enter into an agreement to purchase or refinance the CIT Facility if the Owl Creek Investors
offer to LJH the ability to ability to serve as the purchasing lender with respect to the CTI
