Additional Covenants

Section 5.1Participation Right.

a. From the date of the Closing until the date that is the 90^th day following the Closing, upon any sale, transfer of disposition by the Seller of shares of Class A Common Stock for cash consideration (a “Subsequent Transfer”), Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Transfer equal to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to the number of Shares and (ii) 15% of the Subsequent Transfer (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Transfer.

7

b. Between the time period of 4:00 pm (New York City time) and 6:00 pm (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Trading Day of the expected public disclosure (which may be through the filing of a Form 4 under the Exchange Act) of the Subsequent Transfer (or, if the Trading Day of the expected public disclosure of the Subsequent Transfer is the first Trading Day following a holiday or a weekend (including a holiday weekend), between the time period of 4:00 pm (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately prior to such holiday or weekend and 2:00 pm (New York City time) on the day immediately prior to the Trading Day of the expected public disclosure of the Subsequent Transfer), the Seller (or the Seller’s designated agent) shall deliver to the Purchaser a written notice of the Seller’s intention to effect a Subsequent Transfer (a “Subsequent Transfer Notice”), which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Transfer.

c. If the Purchaser desires to participate in such Subsequent Transfer the Purchaser must provide written notice to the Seller (or its designated agent) by 6:30 am (New York City time) on the Trading Day following the date on which the Subsequent Transfer Notice is delivered to the Purchaser (the “Notice Termination Time”) that the Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Transfer, the amount of the Purchaser’s participation, and representing and warranting that the Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Transfer Notice. If the Seller receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such Notice Termination Time, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Seller that it does not elect to participate in such Subsequent Transfer.

d. If, by the Notice Termination Time, notification by the Purchaser of its willingness to participate in the Subsequent Transfer (or to cause their designees to participate) is less than the Participation Maximum, then the Seller may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Transfer on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Transfer Notice.

5.2 For a period of thirty (30) days from the date hereof, the Seller shall not sell, dispose or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, (including, without limitation, any sales, short sales, swaps or any derivative transactions that would be equivalent to any sales or short positions) in the United States, any shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

5.3 Other Class A Common Stock Purchase Agreements.

Nothing contained herein or in this Agreement, and no action taken by the Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchaser and Other Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Company acknowledges that the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Other Agreement.

The Seller hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees that the terms offered to any Other Purchaser with respect to any sale, transfer or disposition of Seller’s shares of Series A Common Stock pursuant to an Other Agreement are substantially in the form of this Agreement and that, until the 30^th day following the Closing, any amendment, modification or waiver thereof (each a “Settlement Document”), is or will not be more favorable to such Other Purchaser than those of the Purchaser and this Agreement. If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Seller enters into a Settlement Document, then (i) the Seller (or its designated agent) shall provide notice thereof to the Purchaser promptly following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Purchaser or the Seller, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Purchaser shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Settlement Document, provided that upon written notice to the Seller at any time the Purchaser may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Agreement shall apply to the Purchaser as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Purchaser. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply similarly and equally to each Settlement Document.

Section 5.4 Further Assurances. After the Closing, at the request of either party, the other party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, without further consideration, all such further assignments, conveyances, endorsements, deeds, powers of attorney, stock powers, consents and other documents and take such other action as may be reasonably requested to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
