SECTION 4.03 Tag-Along Rights. Subject to Section 4.01 above, if either RGGPLS or the Specified Stockholder desires to sell, transfer or dispose of, in a merger or other transaction (each, a “sale”) all (or any portion) of securities of the Company held by it, other than through a transaction pursuant to Rule 144 or an offering registered pursuant to the Securities Act, the following provisions of this Section 4.03 shall apply. The Stockholder (either RGGPLS or the Specified Stockholder) that desires to sell securities of the Company (the “Offeror”) shall, as a condition to such sale, (i) provide a notice to the other Stockholder (the “Tagging Holder”) in writing (the “Tag-Along Notice”) of the material terms of the proposed sale at least 30 days

prior to such sale and (ii) permit the Tagging Holder (or cause the Tagging Holder to be permitted) to sell (either to the prospective transferee of the Offeror or to another financially reputable transferee reasonably acceptable to the Tagging Holder) the same portion of the same class of its respective securities of the Company on the same terms as the sale by the Offeror, which sale shall take place on the date the Offeror’s securities (or such portion) are transferred to such transferee (or transferees). The Tagging Holder shall have 10 days from the date of receipt of a Tag-Along Notice to exercise its right to sell pursuant to clause (ii) above by delivering written notice to the Offeror of its intent to exercise such right. The right of the Tagging Holder to sell pursuant to the above provisions shall terminate if not exercised within such 10-day period.
