Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly, by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, take any of the actions set forth below without the prior written consent of (i) the AEA Stockholders, to the extent the AEA Stockholders are entitled to designate two (2) AEA Designees as of the date of such proposed action; (ii) the OTPP Stockholder, to the extent the OTPP Stockholder is entitled to designate two (2) OTPP Designee as of the date of such action; and/or (iii) the TCP Stockholder, to the extent the TCP Stockholder is entitled to designate two (2) TCP Designee as of the date of such action, in each case, so long as the number of Shares collectively Beneficially Owned by the AEA Stockholders, the OTPP Stockholder and the TCP Stockholder, as of the date of such proposed action, is at least thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate number of Shares outstanding immediately following the consummation of the IPO:
(a) increase or decrease the authorized number of Directors constituting the Board or the board of directors of any Subsidiary;



(b) terminate or appoint a Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer;
(c) in respect of the Issuer or any of its significant subsidiaries (as such term is defined under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X), initiate any voluntary election to wind up, liquidate or dissolve or to commence bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief proceedings or adopt a plan with respect thereto or admit in writing an inability to pay any indebtedness;
