Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, in the event that one or more Holders (other than the management investors) (each, a "Controlling Shareholder") sell a majority of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Stockholders Agreement to a third party, certain other Holders have the right to elect to sell on the same terms the same percentage of such other Holder's shares to the third party as the Controlling Shareholder is selling of its shares of Common Stock. In addition, if a Controlling Shareholder sells all of its shares of Common Stock to a third party, the Controlling Stockholder has the right to require that certain remaining Holders sell all of their shares to the third party on the same terms. Certain of the parties to the Stockholders Agreement and certain of their affiliates are filing this amended Statement on Schedule 13G jointly.
