Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On November 7, 2012, SunGard Capital Corp. (“SCC”) filed a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, removing the specific class rights to elect directors of SCC associated with Class A-1 through Class A-7 of SCC’s common stock and making certain other amendments incidental thereto. The Restated Certificate became effective on November 7, 2012.

A copy of the Restated Certificate is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

The information set forth under the caption “Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders” is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

SCC, SunGard Capital Corp. II (“SCC II”), SunGard Holding Corp. (“Holdings”), SunGard Holdco LLC (“LLC”), SunGard Data Systems Inc. (“SunGard”) and certain stockholders of SCC and SCC II are parties to (i) a Principal Investor Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2005, as amended (the “Principal Investor Agreement”), (ii) a Participation, Registration Rights and Coordination Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2005 (the “Participation Agreement”), and (iii) a Stockholders Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2005, as amended (the “Stockholders Agreement”), each of which was filed as an Exhibit to SunGard’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005. The Principal Investor Agreement, the Participation Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement were entered into in connection with the acquisition of SunGard on August 11, 2005 by a consortium of private equity investment funds associated with Bain Capital Partners, The Blackstone Group, Goldman Sachs & Co., Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., Providence Equity Partners, Silver Lake and TPG.

In connection with the filing of the Restated Certificate, SCC, SCC II, Holdings, LLC, SunGard and certain stockholders of SCC and SCC II amended and restated each of the Principal Investor Agreement, the Participation Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement. The Stockholders Agreement was primarily amended to give to the holders of Class A-1 through Class A-7 of SCC’s common stock equivalent rights to those specific class rights that were removed from the Restated Certificate and to make certain other amendments incidental thereto. Each of the Principal Investor Agreement and the Participation Agreement were amended to make certain amendments incidental to the foregoing.

Copies of the amended and restated Principal Investor Agreement, Participation Agreement and Stockholders Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

For the purpose of clause (b)(i) above, (x) if all of the Common Stock of the Corporation is being Transferred in a Realization Event, the aggregate value of all Common Stock of the Corporation shall be the consideration to be paid in respect of Common Stock in such Realization Event, after deducting all commissions, fees and expenses paid by the Corporation and its subsidiaries in connection with such Realization Event and (y)(1) if some but less than all of the Common Stock of the Corporation is being Transferred in a Realization Event, the aggregate value of all Common Stock of the Corporation shall be extrapolated based on the consideration to be paid in respect of Common Stock in such Realization Event, after deducting all commissions, fees and expenses paid by the Corporation and its subsidiaries in connection with such Realization Event, with a proportionate adjustment as determined by the Majority Principal Investors (or a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock if there are then no Principal Investor Groups) in good faith and (2) if none of the Common Stock of the Corporation is being transferred in a Realization Event, the aggregate value of all Common Stock shall be determined by the Majority Principal Investors (or a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock if there are then no Principal Investor Groups) in good faith. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, if the consideration to be paid in respect of the subject Realization Event is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value as determined by the Majority Principal Investors (or a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock if there are then no Principal Investor Groups) in good faith.

For the avoidance of doubt, none of the following shall, in and of itself constitute a “Change of Control”: (x) a spin-off of one of the Businesses, a sale of one of the Businesses or a comparable transaction or (y) a transaction in which, after giving effect thereto, the Principal Investor Groups and their Affiliates continue to own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the equity economic interests or voting power of (i) the Corporation or other surviving entity in the case of a transaction of the sort described in clause (a) above, (ii) the Corporation in the case of a transaction of the sort described in clause (b) above or (iii) the acquiring entity in the case of a transaction of the sort described in clause (c) above.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, for purposes of this Section 4, all shares of Common Stock shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be identical in all respects and shall entitle the holders thereof to the same powers, preferences, rights and privileges and shall be subject to the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions.

4.4. Voting Rights. Subject to the powers, preferences, rights and privileges of any class of stock (or any series thereof) having any preference or priority over, or rights superior to, the Common Stock that the Corporation may hereafter become authorized to issue, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, the holders of the Common Stock shall have and possess all powers and voting and other rights pertaining to the stock of the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4 or as otherwise required by applicable law, all holders of Common Stock shall vote together as a single class, with each share entitled to one vote.

4.4.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL or anything to the contrary in this Section 4, but subject to Section 4.4.2, the number of authorized shares of any class or classes of capital stock of the Corporation may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) without a separate class vote of the affected class or classes.

4.4.2 In addition to any vote, consent or approval right provided for in this Certificate of Incorporation or as required by applicable law:

(a) Any amendment, alteration, modification, waiver or repeal of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, including any filing of a certificate of designation, or the Bylaws of the Corporation, including by means of merger, consolidation or otherwise, shall require the affirmative vote or written consent of the Majority Principal Investors (if there are any Principal Investor Groups remaining).

(b) Any amendment, alteration, modification, waiver or repeal of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, including any filing of a certificate of designation, or the Bylaws of the Corporation, including by means of merger, consolidation or otherwise, that, by its terms, adversely affects the voting powers, preferences, or other rights or privileges, or restricts the rights, privileges, powers or immunities of any class of Common Stock disproportionately to any other class of Common Stock shall require the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such affected class. For purposes of the foregoing provision, all classes of Class A Common Stock that are affected in the same manner by any such amendment, alteration, modification, waiver or repeal of any provision shall be treated as a single class.

(c) Any increase or decrease (other than by redemption or conversion) in the authorized number of shares of any class of Class A Common Stock (other than Class A-8 Common Stock) shall require the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class.

 

9


4.5. Directors. So long as there is at least one Principal Investor Group, the number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors (the “Number of Directors”) shall be a number not less than the number of Principal Investor Groups plus one, as determined by the Majority Principal Investors from time to time, subject to reduction as provided in Section 4.5.2. At such time as there are no Principal Investor Groups, the number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors shall be no less than one and no more than 15, as determined by the Board of Directors from time to time.

4.5.1 Each director shall be entitled to one vote on all matters to be voted on by the directors. The directors shall vote together as a single class on all matters to be voted on by the directors.

4.5.2 The Board of Directors shall be deemed to be duly constituted notwithstanding one or more vacancies in its membership. Any such vacancy shall automatically reduce the Number of Directors pro tanto, until such time as such vacancy is filled, whereupon the Number of Directors shall be automatically increased pro tanto.

4.6. Distributions. All Distributions shall be made to the holders of Common Stock in the following order of priority:

4.6.1 First, the holders of the shares of Class L Common Stock (other than shares concurrently being converted into Class A Common Stock), as a single and separate class, shall be entitled to receive all Distributions until there has been paid with respect to each such share from amounts then and previously distributed pursuant to this Section 4.6.1 an amount equal to the Class L Base Amount plus an amount sufficient to generate an internal rate of return thereon equal to 13.5% per annum, compounded quarterly (and, in the case of any final Distribution payable pursuant to this Section 4.6.1 with respect to such share to be made other than on the final day of any such quarterly compounding period, such quarterly compounding to be pro-rated based on the ratio of (i) the number of calendar days elapsed since the end of the prior quarterly compounding period to (ii) 90 days). Such internal rate of return shall be calculated by the Board of Directors in good faith and in accordance with accepted financial practices, treating the Class L Base Amount of each share as having been paid for such share on the Closing Date and each Distribution with respect to the Class L Common Stock as having been made on the date it is actually paid by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 4.6.1, if the Distribution is other than in cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value as determined by the Majority Principal Investors (or the Board of Directors if there are then no Principal Investor Groups remaining) in good faith.

4.6.2 Second, after the full required amount of Distributions have been made pursuant to Section 4.6.1 above, all holders of the shares of Common Stock,

 

10


as a single class, shall thereafter be entitled to receive all remaining Distributions pro rata based on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided that for purposes of this Section 4.6.2, each share of Class L Common Stock shall be deemed to have been converted into a number of shares of Class A-8 Common Stock equal to the Class L Conversion Constant.

All Distributions pursuant to Sections 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 shall be made ratably among the holders of the class or classes of Common Stock in question, based on the number of shares of such class held by such holders.

4.7. Stock Splits and Stock Dividends. The Corporation shall not in any manner subdivide or increase the number of (by stock split, stock dividend or other similar manner), or combine in any manner, the outstanding shares of Class L Common Stock. The Corporation shall not in any manner subdivide or increase the number of (by stock split, stock dividend or other similar manner), or combine in any manner, any class of outstanding Class A Common Stock unless the other classes of Class A Common Stock shall be proportionately subdivided, increased or combined and a proportional adjustment is made to the Class L Conversion Constant. In no event shall any such subdivision, increase or combination constitute a Distribution in respect of any share of Common Stock.

4.8. Adjustments Resulting from Proportionate Events. The Minimum Total Combined Investment set forth in Section 4.2.18 shall automatically be proportionately reduced effective immediately prior to any Proportionate Reduction Event; provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be made to the extent that the effect of such Proportionate Reduction Event is to offset the effect of any Proportionate Increase Event occurring since the later of: (x) the most recent Proportionate Reduction Event, if any, for which an adjustment was made pursuant to this Section 4.8 and (y) the Closing Date.

4.9. Conversion of Class L Common Stock.

4.9.1 Conversion in Connection with Public Offering. Immediately prior to the Public Offering Time, without any action by the Board of Directors or any stockholder of the Corporation, each outstanding share of Class L Common Stock shall automatically convert into a number of shares of Residual Class A Common Stock equal to the Class L Conversion Factor at the time of conversion.

4.9.2 Conversion in Connection with a Realization Event. At any time, in connection with a Realization Event, upon a vote of the Requisite Principal Investors (or a majority of the shares of Class L Common Stock if there are then no Principal Investor Groups), each outstanding share of Class L Common Stock shall automatically convert into a number of shares of Residual Class A Common Stock equal to the Class L Conversion Factor at the time of conversion; and such vote may be taken prior to such Realization Event provided that the effectiveness thereof and the conversion of shares effected thereby are conditioned and made effective upon the occurrence of such Realization Event.

 

11


4.9.3 Conversion in Connection with Registration. Immediately prior to the Registration Time, unless the Majority Principal Investors (or the holders of a majority of the shares of Class L Common Stock if there are then no Principal Investor Groups) determine in writing not to permit such conversion, each outstanding share of Class L Common Stock shall automatically convert into a number of shares of Residual Class A Common Stock equal to the Class L Conversion Factor at the time of conversion.

4.9.4 Fractional Share, etc. Upon conversion under Section 4.9.1, 4.9.2 or 4.9.3 above, fractional shares shall be converted into equivalent fractional shares of Residual Class A Common Stock (or, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, eliminated in return for payment therefor in cash at the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors).

4.9.5 No Further Distributions; Elimination. No Distributions shall be or become payable on any shares of Class L Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.6 at or following any conversion pursuant to this Section 4.9. From and after such conversion, such shares of Class L Common Stock shall be retired and shall not be reissued, and upon the filing of a certificate in accordance with Section 243 of the DGCL, the authorized shares of Class L Common Stock shall be eliminated.

4.10. Conversion of Class A Common Stock

4.10.1 Conversion of a Share By Election or Transfer by Holder. Each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock other than Residual Class A Common Stock (collectively, the “Convertible Class A Common Stock”) shall be converted into one share of Residual Class A Common Stock (i) at any time at the option of the holder of such share and (ii) automatically, without any further action by the holder of such share, upon the valid transfer of such share to any Person other than an Affiliate or Affiliated Fund of the initial holder of such shares as of the Closing Date; provided, that such shares of Convertible Class A Common Stock shall not convert into shares of Residual Class A Common Stock pursuant to clause (ii) above if the holder of such shares transfers all Convertible Class A Common Stock then held by such holder and the Requisite Principal Investors (or a Majority-in-Interest of the Class A Common Stock if there are no Principal Investor Groups remaining) other than the holder of such shares consent to such non-conversion.

4.10.2 Conversion of All Shares by Election on IPO. Unless the Requisite Principal Investors elect otherwise, immediately prior to the Public Offering Time, all outstanding shares of Convertible Class A Common Stock shall convert into an equal number of shares of Residual Class A Common Stock. If the Requisite Principal Investors elect not to have such conversion occur, they may elect to cause such conversion at any later date.

4.10.3 Automatic Conversion of All Shares. Each outstanding share of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock, Class A-3 Common Stock,

 

12


Class A-4 Common Stock, Class A-5 Common Stock, Class A-6 Common Stock or Class A-7 Common Stock, as applicable, shall be converted into one share of Residual Class A Common Stock automatically, without any further action by the holder of such share, at such time as the holders of the outstanding shares of such class no longer hold, in the aggregate, a Total Combined Investment of at least the Minimum Total Combined Investment.

4.10.4 No Reissuance, etc. From and after such conversion of any share of Convertible Class A Common Stock into Residual Class A Common Stock, such share of Convertible Class A Common Stock shall be retired and shall not be reissued. From and after such conversion of all outstanding shares of Convertible Class A Common Stock, upon the filing of a certificate in accordance with Section 243 of the DGCL, the authorized shares of Convertible Class A Common Stock shall be eliminated.

4.11. Effect of Conversion. Upon conversion of any share of Common Stock, the holder shall surrender the certificate evidencing such share to the Corporation at its principal place of business. Promptly after receipt of such certificate, the Corporation shall issue and send to such holder a new certificate, registered in the name of such holder, evidencing the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share has been converted. From and after the time of conversion of any share of Common Stock, the rights of the holder thereof as such shall cease, other than the right to receive, when and if payable, any Distributions declared in respect of Class L Common Stock and unpaid as of the time of conversion (excluding any such Distribution pursuant to Section 4.6.1 solely to the extent the Remaining Class L Minimum Payment Amount shall not have been reduced at or prior to the time of conversion in respect of such Distribution); the certificate formerly evidencing such share shall, until surrendered and reissued as provided above, evidence the applicable number of shares of the applicable class of Common Stock; and such holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the applicable number of shares of the applicable class of Common Stock.

4.12. Replacement. Upon receipt of an affidavit of the registered owner of one or more shares of any class of Common Stock (or such other evidence as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation) with respect to the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing such shares of Common Stock, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (it being understood that if the holder is a Qualified Institutional Investor, or any other holder of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation which is an entity regularly engaged in the business of investing in companies and meets such requirements of creditworthiness as may reasonably be imposed by the Corporation in connection with the provisions of this paragraph, or any executive officer of the Corporation, its own agreement will be satisfactory), or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation shall execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number of shares of such class represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

 

13


4.13. Notices. All notices referred to herein shall be in writing, shall be delivered personally or by first class mail, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed to have been given when so delivered or mailed to the Corporation at its principal executive offices and to any stockholder at such holder’s address as it appears in the stock records of the Corporation (unless otherwise specified in a written notice to the Corporation by such holder).

4.14. Prohibition on Distributions Constituting Taxable Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, the Corporation shall not, without the written approval of both (a) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class L Common Stock or, if there is no Class L Common Stock then outstanding, the holders of a majority of the shares of Class L Common Stock outstanding at the time such Common Stock was converted into Class A Common Stock and (b) the Majority Principal Investors (if any) (collectively, the “Special Class L Majority”), pay any dividend or make any other distribution on any share of capital stock or other security or interest in the Corporation other than Class L Common Stock, or take any other action, so long as any share of Class L Common Stock is outstanding and for three years thereafter, if the effect of such dividend, distribution or action might be to make (i) an increase of the Remaining Class L Minimum Payment Amount, (ii) a conversion of the Class L Common Stock into Class A Common Stock or (iii) an adjustment of the Class L Conversion Factor a taxable event to the holders of the Class L Common Stock. No amendment to the provisions of this Section 4.14 shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Special Class L Majority.

5. The election of directors need not be by ballot unless the Bylaws shall so require.

6. In furtherance and not in limitation of the power conferred upon the Board of Directors by law, subject to Section 4.4.2, the Board of Directors shall have power to make, adopt, alter, amend and repeal from time to time Bylaws of this Corporation, subject to the right of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto to alter and repeal Bylaws made by the Board of Directors.

7. A director of this Corporation shall not be liable to this Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that exculpation from liability is not permitted under the DGCL as in effect at the time such liability is determined. No amendment or repeal of this Section 7 shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of this Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

8. To the maximum extent permitted from time to time under the laws of the State of Delaware, this Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time presented to its officers, directors or stockholders or the Affiliates of the foregoing, other than those officers, directors, stockholders or Affiliates who are employees of this Corporation. No amendment or repeal of this Section 8 shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any such officer, director, stockholder or Affiliate of the Corporation for or with respect to any opportunities of which such officer, director, stockholder or Affiliate becomes aware prior to such amendment or repeal.

 

14


9. This Corporation shall, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time under the law of the State of Delaware, indemnify, and upon request shall advance expenses to, any person (each, an “Indemnitee”) who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or claim, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was or has agreed to be a director or officer of this Corporation or while a director or officer is or was serving at the request of this Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including, without limitation, service with respect to employee benefit plans, against expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with the investigation, preparation to defend or defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require this Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses to any Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim initiated by or on behalf of such Indemnitee. Such indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not be exclusive of other indemnification rights arising as a matter of law, under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or otherwise, both as to action in such Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of such Indemnitee. Any Indemnitee seeking indemnification under this Section 9 shall be deemed to have met the standard of conduct required for such indemnification unless the contrary shall be established. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of this Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director or officer occurring prior to such repeal or modification. This Corporation may enter into agreements relating to indemnification with any director or officer of this Corporation on mutually agreed upon terms.

The Corporation’s advancement and indemnification obligations with respect to an Indemnitee under this Section 9 shall be the primary source of advancement and indemnification of such Indemnitee and any advancement or indemnification obligations to such Indemnitee on the part of any stockholder of the Corporation or any affiliate of such stockholder (other than the Corporation or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries) shall be secondary to such obligations of the Corporation. The Corporation shall have no right to seek contribution or indemnification from, or subrogation against, any such stockholder of the Corporation or any affiliate of such stockholder (other than the Corporation or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries) in respect of any advancement or indemnification obligations of the Corporation with respect to an Indemnitee under this Section 9.

The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain, at its expense, insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any expense, liability or loss asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL or the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation.

 

15


10. The books of this Corporation may (subject to any statutory requirements) be kept outside the State of Delaware as may be designated by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of this Corporation.

11. If at any time this Corporation shall have a class of stock registered pursuant to the provisions of the Exchange Act, for so long as such class is so registered, any action by the stockholders of such class must be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken by written consent. This Corporation shall not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

12. The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in the Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and, except as specified in this Certificate of Incorporation, all rights and powers conferred upon stockholders, directors and officers herein are granted subject to this reservation.

Each of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC and SDS, jointly and severally, will indemnify, exonerate and hold each of the Principal Investors, and each of their respective partners, shareholders, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents and each of the partners, shareholders, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them before or after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), as a result of, arising out of, or in any way relating to (i) this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the merger of Solar Capital Corp with and into SDS pursuant to the Merger Agreement, or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, any transaction to which any of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC or SDS is a party or any other circumstances with respect to any of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC or SDS (other than any such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise out of (A) any breach of the Stockholders Agreement, the Participation, Registration Rights and Coordination Agreement or the Subscription Agreement by such Indemnitee or its affiliated or associated Indemnitees or other related Persons or (B) any transaction entered into after the Closing Date or other circumstances existing after the Closing Date with respect to which the interests of such Indemnitee or its affiliated or associated Indemnitees were adverse to the interests of any of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC or SDS), (ii) operations of, or services provided by any of the Indemnitees to, any of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC or SDS, or any of their Affiliates from time to time (including but not limited to any indemnification obligations assumed or incurred by any Indemnitee to or on behalf of the Seller, or any of its accountants or other representatives, agents or Affiliates), (iii) the Principal Investor’s purchase and/or ownership of Shares or any other equity security of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC or SDS, or (iv) any litigation to which any Indemnitee is made a party in its capacity as a stockholder or owner of securities of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC or SDS (or party related thereto); provided that the foregoing indemnification rights shall not be available in the event that any such Indemnified Liabilities arose on account of such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and provided further that, if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC and SDS will make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. For purposes of this Section 9.9, none of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the two provisos in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by any of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC or SDS, then such payments shall be promptly repaid by such Indemnitee to the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC and SDS. The rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument referenced above or any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation. None of the Indemnitees shall in any event be liable to any of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC or SDS or any of their Affiliates for any act or omission suffered or taken by such Indemnitee that does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the indemnification obligations of the


Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC and SDS with respect to an Indemnitee under this Section 9.9 shall be the primary source of indemnification of such Indemnitee and any indemnification obligations to such Indemnitee on the part of any stockholder of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC or SDS or any affiliate of such stockholder (other than the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC and SDS or any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries) shall be secondary to such obligations of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC and SDS. The Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC and SDS shall have no right to seek contribution or indemnification from, or subrogation against, any such stockholder of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC or SDS or any affiliate of such stockholder (other than the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC and SDS or any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries) in respect of any indemnification obligations of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC or SDS with respect to an Indemnitee under this Section 9.9. If all Principal Investor Groups are similarly situated with respect to their interests in a matter that may be an Indemnified Liability and that is not based on a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitees may enforce their rights pursuant to this Section 9.9 only with the consent of the Majority Principal Investors (determined based on the Principal Investor Groups existing at the time of the events giving rise to such claim for indemnification). A “Third-Party Claim” means any (i) claim brought by a Person other than the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC, SDS or any of their subsidiaries, a Principal Investor or any Indemnitee and (ii) any derivative claim brought in the name of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC, SDS, or any of their respective subsidiaries that is initiated by a Person other than a Principal Investor or any Indemnitee. Each of the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC and SDS, jointly and severally, also agrees to reimburse each Indemnitee for any reasonable expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the maintenance of its books and records, preparation of tax returns and delivery of tax information to its partners or members in connection with the applicable Principal Investor’s investment in the Company, Lowerco, Holdings, LLC or SDS.

RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION

Subject to Section 2.3, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company (the Company and each such subsidiary, an “Issuer”) to, issue or sell any shares of any of its capital stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of its capital stock, issue or grant any options or warrants for the purchase of, or enter into any agreements providing for the issuance (contingent or otherwise) of, any of its capital stock or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of its capital stock, in each case, to any Person (each an “Issuance” of “Subject Securities”), except in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.1 or Section 2.2.

2.1. Right of Participation.

2.1.1. Offer. Not fewer than 15 business days prior to the consummation of an Issuance, a notice (the “Participation Notice”) shall be furnished by the Issuer to each holder of record of Participation Shares (the “Participation Offerees”). The Participation Notice shall include:

(a) the principal terms and conditions of the proposed Issuance, including (i) the amount, kind and terms of the Subject Securities to be included in the Issuance, (ii) the number of Equivalent Shares represented by such Subject Securities (if applicable), (iii) the percentage of the total Purchase Price Value of Shares outstanding immediately prior to giving effect to such Issuance which the Purchase Price Value of Participation Shares held by such Participation Offeree constitutes (the “Participation Portion”), (iv) the maximum and minimum cash price (including if applicable, the maximum and minimum Price Per Equivalent Share) per unit of the Subject Securities, (v) the proposed manner of disposition, (vi) the name and address of the Person to whom the Subject Securities are proposed to be issued (the “Prospective Subscriber”) and (vii) if known, the proposed Issuance date; and

Each Participation Offeree desiring to accept the offer contained in the Participation Notice shall accept such offer by furnishing a written notice of such acceptance to the Issuer within ten business days after the date of delivery of the Participation Notice specifying the amount of Subject Securities (not in any event to exceed the Participation Portion of the total amount of Subject Securities to be included in the Issuance) which such Participation Offeree desires to be issued (each such accepting Participation Offeree, a “Participating Buyer”). Each Participation Offeree who does not accept such offer in compliance with the above requirements, including the applicable time periods, shall be deemed to have waived all of such Participation

 

-3-


Offeree’s rights to participate in such Issuance, and the Issuer shall thereafter be free to issue Subject Securities in such Issuance to the Prospective Subscriber and any Participating Buyers, at a price no less than the minimum price set forth in the Participation Notice and on other principal terms not materially more favorable to the Prospective Subscriber and the Participating Buyer than those set forth in the Participation Notice, without any further obligation to such non-accepting Participation Offerees pursuant to this Article II. To the extent that any Participation Offeree does not offer to purchase its full Participation Portion of the Subject Securities, any such Subject Securities shall be offered to those Participating Buyers who have offered to purchase their full Participation Portion, pro rata in accordance with the Purchase Price Value of Participation Shares held by such Participating Buyers. Each such Participating Buyer shall provide notice to the Issuer within two business days of receipt of the offer from the Issuer if it wishes to purchase all or any portion of such Subject Securities.

(b) Change in Offer Terms. If, prior to consummation, the terms of such proposed Issuance shall change with the result that the price shall be less than the minimum price set forth in the Participation Notice or the other principal terms shall be substantially more favorable to the Prospective Subscriber than those set forth in the Participation Notice, it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 2.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Issuance pursuant to this Section 2.1; provided, however, that in such case of a separate Participation Notice, the applicable period to which reference is made in the first sentence of Section 2.1.1, in the first sentence of Section 2.1.2(a) and in the last sentence of Section 2.1.2(a) shall be three business days, two business days and one business day respectively.

If, prior to consummation, the terms of such proposed Issuance shall change with the result that the price shall be higher than the maximum price set forth in the Participation Notice or the other principal terms shall be substantially less favorable to the Prospective Subscriber than those set forth in the Participation Notice, the acceptance by each Participating Buyer shall be deemed to be revoked, and it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 2.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Issuance pursuant to this Section 2.1; provided, however, that in such case of a separate Participation Notice, the applicable period to which reference is made in the first sentence of Section 2.1.1, in the first sentence of Section 2.1.2(a) and in the last sentence of Section 2.1.2(a) shall be three business days, two business days and one business day respectively.

2.1.3. Other Securities. The Issuer may condition the participation of the Participation Offerees in an Issuance upon the purchase by such Participation Offerees of any securities (including debt securities)

 

-4-


other than Subject Securities (“Other Securities”) in the event that the participation of the Prospective Subscriber in such Issuance is so conditioned and the principal terms and conditions of such Other Securities are described in the Participation Notice. In such case, each Participating Buyer shall acquire in the Issuance, together with the Subject Securities to be acquired by it, Other Securities in the same proportion to the Subject Securities to be acquired by it as the Other Securities being acquired by the Prospective Subscriber in the Issuance bears to the Subject Securities being acquired by the Prospective Subscriber in the Issuance, on the same terms and conditions, as to each unit of Other Securities to be issued to the Prospective Subscriber in the Issuance.

2.1.4. Certain Legal Requirements. In the event that the participation in the Issuance by a Participation Offeree as a Participating Buyer would require under applicable law (a) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities where such registration or qualification is not otherwise required for the Issuance or (b) the provision to any participant in the Issuance of any specified information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the Subject or Other Securities that is not otherwise required to be provided for the Issuance, such Participation Offeree shall not have the right to participate in the Issuance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that neither the Company nor the Issuer shall be under any obligation to effect a registration of such securities under the Securities Act or similar state statutes.

2.1.5. Further Assurances. Each Participating Buyer shall take or cause to be taken all such reasonable actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in order expeditiously to consummate each Issuance pursuant to this Section 2.1, including executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; and otherwise reasonably cooperating with the Issuer and the Prospective Subscriber. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Participating Buyer agrees to execute and deliver such subscription and other agreements specified by the Issuer to which the Prospective Subscriber will be party, the form of which is materially consistent with the form provided to such Participating Buyer with the Participation Notice, or is otherwise reasonably acceptable to such Participating Buyer.

2.1.6. Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred by the Issuer in connection with any proposed Issuance of Subject Securities (whether or not consummated), including all attorney’s fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, shall be paid by the Company or the Issuer.

2.1.7. Closing. The closing of an Issuance pursuant to Section 2.1 shall take place (a) on the proposed date of Issuance, if any, set forth in the Participation Notice (provided that consummation of any Issuance may be extended beyond such date to the extent necessary to obtain any applicable governmental approval or other required approval or to satisfy other conditions), (b) if no proposed Issuance date was required to be specified in the Participation Notice, at such time as the Issuer shall specify by notice to each Participating Buyer, provided that no individual Participating Buyer shall be required, without its consent, to close its particular transaction prior to the date that is fifteen business days after the Issuer issues the applicable Participation Notice and (c) at such place as the Issuer shall specify by notice to each Participating Buyer. At the closing of any Issuance under this Section 2.1.7, each Participating Buyer shall be delivered the notes, certificates or other instruments evidencing the Subject Securities (and, if applicable, Other Securities) to be issued to such Participating Buyer, registered in the name of such Participating Buyer or such holder’s designated nominee, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, with any transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery by such Participating Buyer of the applicable consideration.

2.2. Post-Issuance Notice. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 2.1, the Issuer may proceed with any Issuance prior to having complied with the provisions of Section 2.1; provided that the Issuer shall:

(a) provide to each holder of Shares who would have been a Participation Offeree in connection with such Issuance (i) with prompt notice of such Issuance and (ii) the Participation Notice described in Section 2.1.1 in which the actual price per unit of Subject Securities (and, if applicable, actual Price Per Equivalent Share) shall be set forth;

 

-5-


(b) offer to issue to such holder of Shares such number of securities of the type issued in the Issuance as may be requested by such holder of Shares (not to exceed the Participation Portion that such holder of Shares would have been entitled to pursuant to Section 2.1 multiplied by the sum of (a) the number of Subject Securities included in the Issuance and (b) the maximum aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to this Section 2.2 with respect to such Issuance) on the same economic terms and conditions with respect to such securities as the subscribers in the Issuance received; and

(c) keep such offer open for a period of fifteen business days, during which period, each such holder may accept such offer by sending a written acceptance to the Issuer committing to purchase an amount of such securities (not in any event to exceed the Participation Portion that such holder would have been entitled to pursuant to Section 2.1 multiplied by the sum of (a) the number of Subject Securities included in such issuance and (b) the aggregate number of shares issued pursuant to this Section 2.2 with respect to such Issuance). The closing of any such transaction shall occur at such time as the Issuer specifies, but in any event not prior to the date that is fifteen business days after the Issuer issues the Participation Notice contemplated by Section 2.2(a)(ii).

2.3. Excluded Transactions. The provisions of this Article II shall not apply to Issuances by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company as follows:

(a) Any Issuance to the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company;

(b) Any Issuance of securities upon the exercise or conversion of any Stock, Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities outstanding on August 10, 2005 or Issued after such date in a transaction that complied with the provisions of this Article II;

(d) Any Issuance of shares of Stock, Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities, in each case to the extent approved by the Board, (i) in any business combination or acquisition transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including a Change of Control, (ii) in connection with any joint venture or strategic partnership entered into primarily for purposes other than raising capital (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) or (iii) to financial institutions, commercial lenders, broker/finders or any similar party, or their respective designees, in connection with the incurrence or guarantee of indebtedness by the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

ARTICLE III.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

The Company will perform and comply, and cause each of its subsidiaries to perform and comply, with such of the following provisions as are applicable to it. Each Holder will perform and comply with such of the following provisions as are applicable to such Holder.

3.1. Demand Registration Rights for Investor Registrable Securities.

3.1.1. General. One or more current or former Principal Investor Groups (the “Initiating Investors”), by notice to the Company specifying the amount and intended method or methods of disposition, may request that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act for a Public Offering (including by means of a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act if so requested by the Initiating Investors if the Company is then eligible to use such registration) of all or a specified part of the Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Investors; provided, however, that (i) until the second anniversary of the Qualified Public Offering, the Initiating Investors must, in the aggregate, hold at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then held by all current or former Principal Investor Groups and on or after the second anniversary of the Qualified Public Offering, the Initiating Investors must, in the aggregate, hold at least one-third of the Registrable Securities then held by all current or former Principal Investor Groups, (ii) not more than one request may be made to the Company under this Section 3.1.1 within any 180 day period without the consent of the Majority Principal Investors (or the Company if there are no Principal Investors remaining), provided that if the Initiating Investors make a request under this Section 3.1.1, and the Company determines to include shares for its own account in such registration statement resulting in the Initiating Investors being permitting to register not more than 50% of the Registrable Securities that they requested to register, then this clause (ii) shall not limit the ability of any Initiating Investors to make additional requests within such 180 day period, (iii) the value of Registrable Securities that the Initiating Investors propose to sell in such Public Offering must be at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) or such lower amount as agreed by the Majority Principal Investors (or the Company if there are no Principal Investors remaining) and (iv) for so long as there are any Principal Investors, the Initial Public Offering may not be initiated pursuant to this Section 3.1 without, on or prior to the sixth anniversary hereof, the approval of the Requisite Principal Investors and thereafter, the approval of the Majority Principal Investors. The Company will then use its best efforts to (i) effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register by such Initiating Investors together with all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register pursuant to Section 3.2 by other Holders, all to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid and as otherwise specified by the Coordination Committee) of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register, and (ii) when directed by the Coordination Committee, obtain acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 3.1.1:

(a) during the effectiveness of any Principal Lock-Up Agreement entered into in connection with any registration statement pertaining to an underwritten public offering of securities of the Company; and

(b) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.

 

-7-


3.1.2. Form. Except as otherwise provided above or required by law, so long as the Company is eligible and qualified to register Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (or any successor or similar short form registration statement) each registration requested pursuant to Section 3.1.1 shall be effected by the filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any other form which includes substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement on such form as currently constituted); provided that if any registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.1 is proposed to be effected on Form S-3 (or any successor or similar shortform registration statement) and is in connection with an underwritten offering, and if the managing underwriter shall advise the Company in writing that, in its opinion, it is of material importance to the success of such proposed offering to file a registration statement on Form S-1 (or any successor or similar registration statement) or to include in such registration statement information not required to be included pursuant to Form S-3 (or any successor or similar shortform registration statement), then the Company will file a registration statement on Form S-1 or supplement Form S-3 (or any successor or similar shortform registration statement) as reasonably requested by such managing underwriter.

3.1.3. Payment of Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.1, including all reasonable expenses (other than fees and disbursements of counsel that do not constitute Registration Expenses) that any Holder incurs in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 3.1.

3.1.4. Additional Procedures. In the case of a registration pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, whenever the Coordination Committee shall direct that such registration shall be effected pursuant to an underwritten offering, the Company shall include such information in the written notices to Holders referred to in Section 3.2. In such event, the right of any Holder to have securities owned by such Holder included in such registration pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Coordination Committee and such Holder). If directed to do so by the Coordination Committee, the Company together with the Holders proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting will enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters for such offering containing such representations and warranties by the Company and such Holders and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including customary indemnity and contribution provisions (subject, in each case, to the limitations on such liabilities set forth in this Agreement).

3.1.5. Suspension of Registration. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a registration statement, including a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, in respect of a registration pursuant to this Section 3.1 at any time would require the Company to make a public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure in the good faith judgment of the Board (after consultation with external legal counsel) (a) would be required to be made in any registration statement so that such registration statement would not be materially misleading, (b) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing, effectiveness or continued use of such registration statement and (c) would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business or on the Company’s ability to effect a material proposed acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction, then the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders participating in such registration, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such registration statement; provided, that the Company shall not be permitted to do so (x) more than two times during any 12 month period, (y) for a period exceeding 45 days on any one occasion or (z) for periods exceeding, in the aggregate, 90 days in any 12 month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights

 

-8-


under the preceding sentence, such Holders agree to suspend, promptly upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of any prospectus relating to such registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall promptly notify such Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.1.5. The Company agrees that, in the event it exercises its rights under this Section 3.1.5, it shall, within 45 days following such Holders’ receipt of the notice of suspension, update the suspended registration statement as may be necessary to permit the Holders to resume use thereof in connection with the offer and sale of their Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law.

3.2. Piggyback Registration Rights.

3.2.1. Piggyback Registration.

(a) General. Each time the Company proposes to register any shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act on a form which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public, for its own account and/or for the account of any other Person (pursuant to Section 3.1 or otherwise) for sale in a Public Offering, the Company will give notice to all Holders of its intention to do so. Any Holder may, by written response delivered to the Company within 15 days after the date of delivery of such notice, request that all or a specified part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities be included in such registration. The Company thereupon will use its best efforts to cause to be included in such registration under the Securities Act all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by such Holders, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the methods to be used by the Company or, pursuant to Section 3.1, other Holders in such Public Offering) of the Registrable Securities to be so registered; provided that (i) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities, the Company shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), and (ii) if such registration involves an underwritten offering, all Holders requesting to be included in the Company’s registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Coordination Committee on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company (with such differences as may be customary or appropriate in combined primary and secondary offerings) or, in the case of a registration initiated pursuant to Section 3.1.1, the Initiating Investors. No registration of Registrable Securities effected under this Section 3.2 shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations to effect registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof.

(b) Excluded Transactions. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3.2 incidental to the registration of any of its securities in connection with:

 

  (i) Any Public Offering relating to employee benefit plans or dividend reinvestment plans;

 

  (ii) Any Public Offering relating to the acquisition or merger after the date hereof by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of or with any other businesses except to the extent such Public Offering is for the sale of securities for cash; or

 

  (iii) Any Public Offering up to and including the Qualified Public Offering, except to the extent the Requisite Principal Investors (or the Company if there are no Principal Investors remaining) otherwise determine.

3.2.2. Payment of Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.2.

 

-9-


3.2.3. Additional Procedures. Holders participating in any Public Offering pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall take all such actions and execute all such documents and instruments that are reasonably requested by the Company to effect the sale of their Registrable Securities in such Public Offering, including being parties to any underwriting agreement entered into by the Company (as directed by the Coordination Committee) and any other selling shareholders in connection therewith and being liable in respect of the representations and warranties and the other agreements (including customary selling stockholder representations, warranties, indemnifications and “lock-up” agreements) for the benefit of the underwriters contained therein; provided, however, that (a) with respect to individual representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements of sellers of Registrable Securities in such Public Offering, the aggregate amount of such liability shall not exceed such holder’s net proceeds from such offering and (b) to the extent selling stockholders give further representations, warranties and indemnities in respect of the Company or the business of the Company, then with respect to all other representations, warranties and indemnities of sellers of shares in such Public Offering, the aggregate amount of such liability shall not exceed the lesser of (i) such holder’s pro rata portion of any such liability, in accordance with such holder’s portion of the total number of Registrable Securities included in the offering, and (ii) such holder’s net proceeds from such offering.

3.2.4. Registration Statement Form. The Company shall select the registration statement form for any registration pursuant to this Section 3.2 (other than a registration that is also pursuant to Section 3.1); provided that if any registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.2 is proposed to be effected on Form S-3 (or any successor form) and is in connection with an underwritten offering, and if the managing underwriter shall advise the Company in writing that, in its opinion, it is of material importance to the success of such proposed offering to include in such registration statement information not required to be included pursuant to such form, then the Company will supplement such registration statement as reasonably requested by such managing underwriter.

3.3. Certain Other Provisions.

3.3.1. Underwriter’s Cutback. In connection with any registration of shares, the underwriter may determine that marketing factors (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price) require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Article III and subject to the terms of this Section 3.3.1, the underwriter may limit the number of shares which would otherwise be included in such registration by excluding any or all Registrable Securities from such registration, it being understood that, if the registration in question involves a registration for sale of securities for the Company’s own account, then the number of shares which the Company seeks to have registered in such registration shall not be subject to exclusion, in whole or in part, under this Section 3.3.1. Upon receipt of notice from the underwriter of the need to reduce the number of shares to be included in the registration, the Company shall advise all holders of the Company’s securities that would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that may be included in the registration shall be allocated in the following manner, unless the underwriter shall determine that marketing factors require Manager Holders to be cutback disproportionately: shares, other than Registrable Securities, requested to be included in such registration by other shareholders shall be excluded unless the Company, with the consent of the Requisite Principal Investors, has granted registration rights which are to be treated on an equal basis with Registrable Securities for the purpose of the exercise of the underwriter cutback (such shares afforded such equal treatment being “Parity Shares”); and, if a limitation on the number of shares is still required, the number of Registrable Securities, Parity Shares and other shares of Common Stock that may be included in such registration shall be allocated among the holders thereof in proportion, as nearly as practicable, as follows:

(a) there shall be first allocated to each such holder requesting that its Registrable Securities or Parity Shares be registered in such registration a number of such shares to be included in such registration equal to the lesser of (A) the number of such shares of Registrable Securities or Parity Securities requested to be registered by such holder, and (B) a number of such shares equal to such holder’s Pro Rata Portion;

(b) the balance, if any, not allocated pursuant to clause (a) above shall be allocated to those holders requesting that their Registrable Securities or Parity Shares be registered in such

 

-10-


registration which requested to register a number of such shares in excess of such holder’s Pro Rata Portion pro rata to each such holder based upon the number of Registrable Securities and Parity Shares held by such holder, or in such other manner as the holders requesting that their Registrable Securities or Parity Shares be registered in such registration may otherwise agree; and

(c) the balance, if any, not allocated pursuant to clause (b) above shall be allocated to shares, other than Registrable Securities and Parity Shares, requested to be included in such registration by other stockholders.

For purposes of any underwriter cutback, all Registrable Securities held by any Holder shall also include any Registrable Securities held by the partners, retired partners, shareholders or Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Family Members of any such Holder or such partners and retired partners, any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons and, at the election of such Holder or such partners, retired partners, trusts or Affiliates, any Charitable Organization, in each case to which any of the foregoing shall have distributed, transferred or contributed Common Stock prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement in connection with such underwritten offering provided that such distribution, transfer or contribution occurred not more than 90 days prior to such execution, and such Holder and other Persons shall be deemed to be a single selling Holder, and any pro rata reduction with respect to such selling Holder shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Common Stock owned by all entities and individuals included in such selling Holder, as defined in this sentence. No securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such registration.

Upon delivery of a written request that Registrable Securities be included in the underwriting pursuant to Section 3.1.1 or 3.2.1(a), the Holder thereof may not thereafter elect to withdraw therefrom without the written consent of the Coordination Committee; provided that, if the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall advise the Holders participating in a registration pursuant to Section 3.1 that the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement cannot be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Initiating Investors, then the Initiating Investors shall have the right to notify the Company that they have determined that the registration statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall abandon or withdraw such registration statement; provided, further, that if the price to the public at which the Registrable Securities are proposed to be sold will be less than 90% of the average closing price of the class of stock being sold in the offering during the 10 trading days preceding the date on which notice of such offering was given pursuant to Section 3.2.1(a), then the Registration Rights Stockholders participating in such registration pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 may elect to withdraw from such registration by written notice to the Company. The Company may, but shall not be required to, extend a similar withdrawal right to other Holders of Registrable Securities or Parity Shares.

3.3.2. Registration Procedures. If and in each case when the Company is required to effect a registration of any Registrable Securities as provided in this Article III, the Company shall promptly:

(a) prepare and, in any event within 60 days (45 days in the case of a Form S-3 registration) after the end of the period under Section 3.2.1(a) within which a piggyback request for registration may be given to the Company, file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within ninety days of the initial filing;

(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period not in excess of 270 days or two years in the case of shelf registration statements (or, in either case, such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold) and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement; provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto in accordance with Sections 3.1 or 3.2, the Company will furnish to counsel selected pursuant to Section 3.3.3 hereof copies of all documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel;

 

-11-


(c) furnish to each seller of such Registrable Securities such number of copies of such registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits filed therewith), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and summary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities by such seller;

(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities covered by such registration in such jurisdictions as each seller shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where, but for the requirements of this clause (d), it would not be obligated to be so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(e) promptly notify each seller of any such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the Company’s becoming aware that the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such seller, prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of an amended or supplemental prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

(f) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable (but not more than 18 months) after the effective date of the registration statement, an earnings statement which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;

(g) use its best efforts to (i) list such Registrable Securities on any securities exchange or authorize for quotation on each other market on which the Common Stock is then listed or authorized for quotation if such Registrable Securities are not already so listed or authorized for quotation; and to (ii) provide a transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(h) enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form), which may include indemnification provisions in favor of underwriters and other Persons in addition to the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof, and take such other actions as the Coordination Committee or the underwriters, if any, reasonably requested in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(i) obtain a “cold comfort” letter or letters from the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the Coordination Committee shall reasonably request;

(j) make available for inspection by any seller of such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, by any managing underwriter or underwriters participating in any disposition to be effected pursuant to such registration statement and by any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or any such managing underwriter(s), all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause all of the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in

 

-12-


connection with such registration statement (subject to each party referred to in this clause (j) entering into customary confidentiality agreements in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company);

(k) notify counsel (selected pursuant to Section 3.3.3 hereof) for the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, the Principal Investors including Registrable Securities in such registration statement, and the managing underwriter or agent, immediately, and confirm the notice in writing (i) when the registration statement, or any post-effective amendment to the registration statement, shall have become effective, or any supplement to the prospectus or any amendment to the prospectus shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request of the Commission to amend the registration statement or amend or supplement the prospectus or for additional information, and (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the registration statement for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the institution or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes;

(l) make every commercially reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any such order as soon as practicable;

(m) if requested by the managing underwriter or agent or any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement, incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or agent or such Holder reasonably requests to be included therein, including, with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold by such Holder to such underwriter or agent, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or agent and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after being notified of the matters incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

(n) cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or agent, if any, or such Holders may request;

(o) obtain for delivery to the Holders of Registrable Securities being registered and to the underwriter or agent an opinion or opinions from counsel for the Company in customary form and in form, substance and scope reasonably satisfactory to such Holders, underwriters or agents and their counsel;

(p) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or one of its affiliates or any securities exchange; and

(q) use its best efforts to make available the executive officers of the Company to participate with the Holders of Registrable Securities and any underwriters in any “road shows” that may be reasonably requested by the Holders in connection with distribution of the Registrable Securities.

3.3.3. Selection of Underwriters and Counsel. The underwriters and legal counsel to be retained by the Company in connection with any Public Offering requested pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be selected by the Coordination Committee; the underwriters and legal counsel to be retained by the Company

 

-13-


in connection with any other Public Offering to which Section 3.2 applies shall be selected by the Board with the consent of the Coordination Committee (such consent not be unreasonably withheld). In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof, the Coordination Committee may select one counsel to represent all Holders of Registrable Securities, covered by such registration; provided, however, that in the event that the counsel selected as provided above is also acting as counsel to the Company in connection with such registration, those Investors participating in the offering who are then not entitled to designate a member of the Coordination Committee (each such Investor being referred to as a “Participating Investor”) shall be entitled to select one additional counsel to represent all such Participating Investors (the “Additional Counsel”). The Additional Counsel shall be approved by the Participating Investors who, in the aggregate, hold a Majority in Interest of the Common Stock then held by all Participating Investors.

3.3.4. Company Lock-Up. If any registration pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement shall be in connection with an underwritten public offering, the Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of any Common Stock of the Company (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock) (in each case, other than as part of such underwritten public offering and other than pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or S-8) for its own account, within 90 days (or such shorter period as the managing underwriters may agree to with the Coordination Committee) after, the effective date of such registration (except as part of such registration).

3.3.5. Holders and Other Holders Lock-Up. Each Holder and each Other Holder shall comply with the provisions of Article V of the Stockholders Agreement applicable to a “Stockholder” as though such Article were set forth herein. No Registration Rights Stockholder will Transfer Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock pursuant to a waiver from a lock-up agreement described in Article V of the Stockholders Agreement unless the benefit of such waiver is extended in a pro rata manner to all Registration Rights Stockholders.

3.3.6. Other Agreements. The Company covenants and agrees that, so long as any Person holds any Registrable Securities in respect of which any registration rights provided for in Section 3.1 or 3.2 of this Agreement remain in effect, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, grant to any Person or agree to or otherwise become obligated in respect of (a) rights of registration in the nature or substantially in the nature of those set forth in Section 3.1 or 3.2 of this Agreement that would have priority over the Registrable Securities with respect to the inclusion of such securities in any registration or (b) demand registration rights exercisable prior to such time as the current or former Principal Investors can first exercise their rights under Section 3.1.

3.3.7. Other Registration-Related Matters.

(a) The Company may require any Holder that is registering Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 to furnish to the Company in writing such information regarding such Person and its Affiliates and pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of the Registrable Securities which are included in such Public Offering as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

(b) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.3.2(e), it will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until its receipt of the copies of the amended or supplemented prospectus contemplated by Section 3.3.2(e) and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder will, subject to applicable law or any direction of the Commission, deliver to the Company or destroy all copies, other than permanent file copies then in their possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company gives any such notice, the period for which the Company will be required to keep the registration statement effective will be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 3.3.2(e) to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement has received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.3.2(e).

(c) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.3.2(k)(iv), it will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until the lifting of such stop order, other order or suspension or the termination of such proceedings and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder will, subject to applicable law or any direction of the Commission, deliver to the Company or destroy all copies, other than permanent file copies then in its possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company gives any such notice, the period for which the Company will be required to keep the registration statement effective will be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 3.3.2(k)(iv) to and including the date when such stop order, other order or suspension is lifted or such proceedings are terminated.

3.3.8. Public Dispositions Without Registration. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of Registrable Securities to the public without registration after such time as a public market exists for Common Stock, the Company agrees:

(a) to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its Common Stock to the public;

(b) to use its commercially reasonable efforts to then file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish to such Holder promptly upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after 180 days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its Securities to the public), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (iii) such other reports and documents of the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in availing himself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such Securities without registration.

3.4. Indemnification and Contribution.

3.4.1. Indemnities of the Company. In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities or other debt or equity securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries under the Securities Act pursuant to this Article III or otherwise, and in connection with any registration statement or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries including reports required and other documents filed under the Exchange Act, and other documents pursuant to which any debt or equity securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are sold (whether or not for the account of the Company or its subsidiaries), the Company will, and hereby does, and will cause each of its subsidiaries, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each holder of Registrable Securities, any Person who is or might be deemed to be a controlling Person of the Company or any of its subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, their respective direct and indirect general and limited partners, advisory board members, directors, officers, trustees, managers, members, affiliates and shareholders, and each other Person, if any, who controls any such holder or any such controlling Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such Person being referred to herein as a “Covered Person”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), joint or several, and reasonable expenses to which such Covered Person may be or become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other securities or other law of any jurisdiction, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by

 

-15-


reference in any registration statement under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any related summary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any other such disclosure document (including reports and other documents filed under the Exchange Act and any document incorporated by reference therein) or other document or report, (b) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (c) any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or other document or report, and will reimburse such Covered Person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall be liable to any Covered Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other such disclosure document or other document or report, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or to any of its subsidiaries through an instrument duly executed by such Covered Person specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof. The indemnities of the Company and of its subsidiaries contained in this Section 3.4.1 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Covered Person and shall survive any transfer of securities or any termination of this Agreement.

3.4.2. Indemnities to the Company. Subject to Section 3.4.4, the Company and any of its subsidiaries may require, as a condition to including any securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Article III, that the Company and any of its subsidiaries shall have received an undertaking satisfactory to it from the prospective seller of such securities, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as provided in Section 3.4.1) the Company and any of its subsidiaries, each director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, each officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who shall sign such registration statement and each other Person (other than such seller), if any, who controls the Company and any of its subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each other prospective seller of such securities and prospective underwriter with respect to any untrue statement in or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus included therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any other disclosure document (including reports and other documents filed under the Exchange Act or any document incorporated therein) or other document or report, if such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or any of its subsidiaries through an instrument executed by such seller specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other document or report. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any such director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive any transfer of securities or any termination of this Agreement.

3.4.3. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 3.4.1 or 3.4.2 hereof is unavailable to a party that would have been entitled to indemnification pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4 for reasons other than described in the proviso to Section 3.4.1 (an “Indemnitee”) in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) or expense referred to therein, then each party that would have been an indemnifying party thereunder shall, subject to Section 3.4.4 and in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnifying party on the one hand and such Indemnitee on the other in connection with the untrue statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) or expense. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or such

 

-16-


Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.4.3 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentence. The amount paid or payable by a contributing party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) or expense referred to above in this Section 3.4.3 shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

3.4.4. Limitation on Liability of Holders of Registrable Securities. The liability of each Holder in respect of any indemnification or contribution obligation of such Holder arising under this Section 3.4 shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds realized by such Holder (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by such Holder pursuant to such registration.

3.4.5. Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 3.4, such Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided that the failure of the Indemnitee to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 3.4, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action or proceeding is brought against an Indemnitee, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof (at its expense), jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and shall have no liability for any settlement made by the Indemnitee without the consent of the indemnifying party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in such Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and the indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such action or proceeding or the indemnifying party does not assume the defense of any such action or proceeding within a reasonable time after notice of commencement, the Indemnitee shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense and the indemnifying party shall, subject to Section 3.4.4 (if applicable), be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor, but in no event will bear the expenses for more than one firm of counsel for all Indemnitees in each jurisdiction who shall be approved by the Coordination Committee in the registration in respect of which such indemnification is sought. No indemnifying party will settle any action or proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, unless such settlement or judgment (a) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff of a release to such Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such action or proceeding and (b) does not involve the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any obligations on such Indemnitee and does not otherwise adversely affect such Indemnitee, other than as a result of the imposition of financial obligations for which such Indemnitee will be indemnified hereunder.

3.4.6. Non-Exclusivity. The obligations of the parties under this Section 3.4 will be in addition to any liability, without duplication, which any party may otherwise have to any other party.

3.5. Permitted Registration Rights Assignees. The rights of any Holder to cause the Company to register its Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations as set forth below) in a Transfer effected in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement and this Agreement to: (a) a Charitable Organization (but only for a period of up to 90 days from the date of such Transfer), (b) a Permitted Transferee, (c) any other transferee that, together with its Affiliates and Affiliated Funds, in the case of this clause (c) acquires shares of Registrable Securities either (i) for consideration of at least $35,000,000 or (ii) having a then fair market value (determined in good faith by the Board) of at least $35,000,000

 

-17-


or (d) acquires all shares of Registrable Securities then held by such Holder and its Affiliates, Affiliated Funds and Manager Designees, if applicable (the transferees described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) each a “Permitted Registration Rights Assignee”). Without prejudice to any other or similar conditions imposed hereunder with respect to any such Transfer, no assignment permitted under the terms of this Section 3.5 shall be effective unless the Permitted Registration Rights Assignee, if not a Registration Rights Stockholder, has delivered to the Company a written acknowledgment and agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such Registrable Securities in respect of which such assignment is made shall be deemed Other Holder Shares and shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement relating to Other Holder Shares and that such Permitted Registration Rights Assignee shall be bound by, and shall be an Other Holder party to, this Agreement and the holder of Other Holder Shares hereunder. A transferee to whom rights are transferred pursuant to this Section 3.5 may not again transfer such rights to any Person, other than as provided in this Section 3.5.

3.6. Shelf Take-Downs. At any time that a shelf registration statement covering Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article III is effective, if any Holder or group of Holders delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to effect an underwritten offering of all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the shelf registration statement (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”) and stating the number of the Registrable Securities to be included in the Shelf Underwritten Offering, then, provided that the Coordination Committee approves of such Shelf Underwritten Offering, the Company shall amend or supplement the shelf registration statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Underwritten Offering (taking into account the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other Holders pursuant to this Section 3.6). In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering:

(a) such proposing Holder(s) shall also deliver the Take-Down Notice to all other Holders included on such shelf registration statement and permit each holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the shelf registration statement in the Shelf Underwritten Offering if such Holder notifies the proposing Holders and the Company within five business days after delivery of the Take-Down Notice to such Holder; and

(b) in the event that the underwriter determines that marketing factors (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price) require a limitation on the number of shares which would otherwise be included in such take-down, the underwriter may limit the number of shares which would otherwise be included in such take-down offering in the same manner as is described in Section 3.3.1 with respect to a limitation of shares to be included in a registration.

3.7. Coordination Committee. The Principal Investor Groups will create a coordination committee (the “Coordination Committee”) prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering and will thereafter maintain such committee for so long as this Agreement remains in effect or until there are no Principal Investors remaining, if earlier. Each Principal Investor Group shall be permitted to designate one representative to participate on the Coordination Committee, and shall be permitted to remove and replace such designee from time to time, provided that a Principal Investor Group’s designee shall be automatically removed (and not replaced) at such time as such Principal Investor Group ceases to be a Principal Investor Group in accordance with the definition thereof. Except to the extent specified in this Section 3.7, the Majority Principal Investors shall determine, from time to time, the procedures which govern the conduct of the Coordination Committee, provided that such procedures shall not discriminate against any particular designee or designees in any material way. Actions of the Coordination Committee shall require the affirmative vote of representatives designated by Principal Investor Groups which constitute the Majority Principal Investors.

ARTICLE IV.

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

4.1. Permitted Public Transfers and Block Sales. After the closing of the Initial Public Offering, no Registration Rights Stockholder shall Transfer any or all of its Shares pursuant to Rule 144, a block sale to a financial institution or in a private transfer pursuant to Section 3.1.5 of the Stockholders Agreement, in each case other than in compliance with Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.6 hereof, as applicable, and Sections 3.3 and 3.4 of the Stockholders Agreement, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt the approval of the Coordination Committee shall not be required to approve such Transfers. Shares Transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or in a block sale to a financial institution shall conclusively be deemed thereafter not to be Shares under this Agreement.

4.1.1. Public Transfers. From time to time after the Initial Public Offering, the Majority Principal Investors may determine to require the Registration Rights Stockholders to make reasonable efforts to coordinate their efforts to Transfer Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (“144 Coordination”) or to discontinue such requirement. As of the date of this Agreement, 144 Coordination shall be required until such time, if ever, as the Majority Principal Investors provide a subsequent notice to the Registration Rights Stockholders that such coordination is discontinued. Thereafter, the Majority Principal Investors may reinstitute and discontinue 144 Coordination from time to time by providing notice to the Registration Rights Stockholders.

(a) For so long as 144 Coordination is in effect, each Registration Rights Stockholder shall promptly notify the Coordination Committee when it wishes to Sell Shares under Rule 144, provided, that for any given measurement period for purposes of the Rule 144 group volume limit, except as provided in Section 4.1.1(b) or 4.3, no Registration Rights Stockholder shall be permitted to effect Transfers in excess of their pro rata share (based on its percentage ownership of Shares held by all Registration Rights Stockholders at the start of such measurement period) of all Shares that may be Transferred by members of the Related Group during the applicable measurement period based on its percentage ownership of Shares held by all holders of Shares at the start of such measurement period. In the event any Registration Rights Stockholder agrees to forego its full pro rata share of the Rule 144 group volume limit by written notice to the Coordination Committee, the remainder shall be re-allocated pro rata among the other Registration Rights Stockholders in like manner (except that the Shares held by such forfeiting Registration Rights Stockholder at the start of such measurement period shall be excluded from such calculation).

(b) Notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 4.1.1(a), during the first 144 measurement period in which Registration Rights Stockholders are permitted to Transfer Shares following an offering subject to Section 3.2 (taking into account Section 4.7) (each, an “Initial Measurement Period”), each Cutback Manager shall be permitted to Transfer a number of Shares equal to the lesser of (i) such Cutback Manager’s Disproportionate Cutback Shares or (ii) if all Cutback Managers’ Disproportionate Cutback Shares could not be sold in such measurement period due to the volume limitations under Rule 144, such Cutback Manager’s proportionate share of the Disproportionate Cutback Shares held by all Cutback Managers. To the extent the total number of all such Disproportionate Cutback Shares is less than the total number of Shares that may be Transferred by members of the Related Group during the applicable measurement period, each Registration Rights Stockholder shall be permitted to effect Transfers of Shares not in excess of its pro rata share (based on its percentage ownership of Shares held by all Registration Rights Stockholders at the start of such measurement period) of such excess Shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 4.3. To the extent that all Cutback Managers are not permitted, due to the volume limitations in Rule 144, to Transfer all Disproportionate Cutback Shares in the Initial Measurement Period or any subsequent 144 measurement period, the provisions of this clause (b) shall apply with respect to each Cutback Manager who does Transfer all Disproportionate Cutback Shares which such Cutback Manager was entitled to Transfer in the Initial Measurement Period and each subsequent 144 measurement period until such Cutback Manager has had an opportunity to Transfer all Disproportionate Cutback Shares held by such Cutback Manager or has elected not to sell all Disproportionate Cutback Shares which such Cutback Manager was entitled to Transfer during a 144 measurement period.

(c) The provisions of this Section 4.1.1 shall not apply to any Transfer of Shares (i) in a Public Offering, (ii) to a Permitted Transferee in a transaction that does not rely on Rule 144 or (iii) at any time with respect to which 144 Coordination is not effective.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Registration Rights Stockholder may opt out of 144 Coordination with respect to any period of time if such Registration Rights Stockholder delivers a notice to the Coordination Committee irrevocably committing not to Transfer Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or a transaction described in Section 4.1.2, 4.2 or 4.6 during such period.

4.1.2. Certain Other Transfers. After the Initial Public Offering, each Registration Rights Stockholder (the “Initiating Transferor”) shall notify the Coordination Committee (or, after the expiration of the term described in Section 4.5, the other Registration Rights Stockholders) when it plans to Transfer any or all of its Shares pursuant to (a) a block sale to a financial institution or (b) a private transfer pursuant to Section 3.1.5 of the Stockholder Agreement.

4.2. Distributions to Partners, Members or Stockholders. For so long as 144 Coordination is effective, each Investor shall provide reasonable prior notice to the Coordination Committee prior to any LP Distribution.

4.3. Volume Limit. For purposes of this Agreement, so long as 144 Coordination is effective, Transfers contemplated by Sections 4.1.2(a) and (b), and LP Distributions, will be limited to the number of Shares that the applicable Registration Rights Stockholder would have been permitted to Transfer under Rule 144 pursuant to the proviso in Section 4.1.1(a) or 4.1.1(b), as applicable, and will reduce for purposes of this Agreement, on a Share for Share basis, the number of Shares that such Registration Rights Stockholder is permitted to sell under Rule 144, whether individually or as part of a Related Group, whether or not such Transfer or LP Distribution is required by law to be so treated. In the event that, while 144 Coordination is in effect, any Registration Rights Stockholder elects to make a Transfer contemplated by Section 4.1.2(a) or (b), or an LP Distribution, and provided that such Transfer or LP Distribution is not required by law to be taken into account for purposes of the Related Group’s volume limit under Rule 144, then each Registration Rights Stockholder’s (including the Registration Rights Stockholder making such Transfer or LP Distribution) pro rata share of the Related Group’s volume limit for purposes of Section 4.1.2(a) shall be increased by such Registration Rights Stockholder’s pro rata share of the Shares that such Registration Rights Stockholder is no longer permitted to sell under Rule 144 pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.3.

4.4. No 144 Coordination. Subject, in all cases, to any applicable law, in the event that 144 Coordination is not in effect, no Registration Rights Stockholder shall, in a given calendar year, Transfer pursuant to Rule 144, in a block sale to a financial institution or in an LP Distribution, Shares representing more than the lesser of (a) 2% of the total Shares outstanding on the first day of such calendar year and (b) 20% of the total Shares owned by such Registration Rights Stockholder on the first day of such calendar year, in each case without the approval of the Coordination Committee, which such approval shall be granted or withheld with respect to all Registration Rights Stockholders in a fair and equitable manner over the course of such calendar year.

4.5. Period. Except for Section 4.1.2, the provisions of Sections 4.1 through 4.4 shall terminate with respect to any Share on the earlier of (a) the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Qualified Public Offering and (b) such time as the Principal Investors, in the aggregate, own less than a 20% of the then outstanding Common Stock. The Majority Principal Investors, in their sole discretion, may elect to exclude any holder of Management Shares or any holder of Other Investor Shares from the provisions of Sections 4.1 through 4.4 at any time.

4.6. Post-QPO “Tag Along Rights”. After the Qualified Public Offering, to the extent an Initiating Transferor gives notice of a planned Transfer described in Section 4.1.2, the Coordination Committee shall promptly provide such notice to each Registration Rights Stockholder other than the Initiating Transferor (each, a “Potential Participant”), and each Potential Participant shall be entitled to participate in such transfer pro rata based on its percentage ownership of Tag Eligible Shares held by all Registration Rights Stockholders at the time of such proposed transfer. In the event any Potential Participant agrees to forego its full pro rata share of the sale by written notice to the Initiating Transferor and all other Potential Participants, the remainder shall be re-allocated pro rata among the Initiating Transferor and all other Potential Participants in like manner (except that the Shares held by such forfeiting Potential Participant shall be excluded from such calculation).

4.7. Transfers and Holder Lock-up. No Registration Rights Stockholder shall Transfer Shares in a transaction that would have violated Article V of the Stockholders Agreement (Holder Lock-up) or a lock-up agreement entered into pursuant thereto but for the fact that such Registration Rights Stockholder has been granted permission to make such Transfer or has been released from such Article or such lock-up agreement unless each Registration Rights Stockholder is granted similar permission or has been similarly released.

AMENDMENT, TERMINATION, ETC.

8.1. Oral Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally amended, modified, extended or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective.

8.2. Written Modifications. Except as provided in clauses (a) through (c) below, this Agreement may be amended, modified, extended or terminated, and the provisions hereof may be waived, only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Majority Principal Investors (or Registration Rights Stockholders holding a majority of the shares of Class A Stock held by Registration Rights Stockholders party hereto if there are no Principal Investors remaining).

(a) The consent of the Requisite Principal Investors (if there are any Principal Investors remaining) shall be required for any amendment, modification, extension, termination or waiver (an “Amendment”) of any provision hereof which requires the approval of the Requisite Principal Investors.

(b) The consent of the Management Representative shall be required for (i) any Amendment (other than a Specified Amendment) that, in any material respect, discriminates against or could reasonably be expected to have a disproportionate adverse effect on the rights of holders of Management Shares under this Agreement or (ii) any Amendment to this sentence. By signing this Agreement, each Manager irrevocably authorizes and appoints the Management Representative as his or her sole and exclusive agent, attorney-in-fact and representative for the approval of Amendments described in the first sentence of this Section 8.2(b).

(c) The consent of a Majority in Interest of the Other Investor Shares shall be required for any Amendment that, by its terms, materially and adversely discriminates against the rights or obligations of the holders of Other Investor Shares as such under this Agreement (provided, that it is understood and agreed that, for the purposes of interpreting and enforcing this amendment and waiver provision, Amendments that affect all Registration Rights Stockholders will not be deemed to “materially and adversely discriminate against” the holders of Other Investor Shares as such simply because holders of Other Investor Shares (i) own or hold more or less Shares than any other Registration Rights Stockholder, (ii) invested more or less money in the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries than any other Registration Rights Stockholder or (iii) have greater or lesser voting rights or powers than any other Registration Rights Stockholders).

 

-22-


A copy of each such Amendment shall be sent to each Registration Rights Stockholder and shall be binding upon each party hereto and each holder of Shares or Other Holder Shares subject hereto except to the extent otherwise required by law; provided that the failure to deliver a copy of such Amendment shall not impair or affect the validity of such Amendment. In addition, each party hereto and each holder of Shares or Other Holder Shares subject hereto may waive any right hereunder by an instrument in writing signed by such party or holder. To the extent the Amendment of any Section of this Agreement would require a specific consent pursuant this Section 8.2, any Amendment to the definitions used in such Section as applied to such Section shall also require the specified consent.

8.3. Withdrawal from Agreement. Any holder of Shares or Other Holder Shares that withdraws Shares from the Stockholders Agreement in accordance with Section 10.3 thereof shall be deemed to have simultaneously withdrawn such Shares from this Agreement. From the date of delivery of such Person’s withdrawal notice pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Stockholders Agreement, the withdrawn shares shall cease to be Shares subject to this Agreement and, if the holder of Shares or Other Holder Shares does not own any Share that will remain subject to this Agreement (each such holder, a “Withdrawing Holder”), such holder shall cease to be a party to this Agreement and shall no longer be subject to the obligations of this Agreement or have rights under this Agreement; provided, however, that any such Withdrawing Holder shall retain the indemnification rights pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof with respect to any matter that (a) may be an indemnified liability thereunder and (b) occurred prior to such withdrawal.

8.4. Effect of Termination. No termination under this Agreement shall relieve any Person of liability for breach prior to termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated, each Investor shall retain the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement rights pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof with respect to any matter that (a) may be an indemnified liability thereunder and (b) occurred prior to such termination.

ARTICLE II.

VOTING AGREEMENT

2.1 Significant Transactions; Board of Directors. For so long as there are any Principal Investors remaining, each holder of Shares hereby appoints each Principal Investor as its proxy to vote such holder’s Shares, whether at a meeting or by written consent, in accordance with such holder’s agreements contained in this Section 2.1, which proxy shall be valid and remain in effect until the applicable provisions of this Section 2.1 expire pursuant to Section 2.5. Except with respect to Section 2.1.4, the power and authority to exercise the proxy granted hereby shall be exercised if and only if the matter to be voted on has been approved by the Requisite Principal Investors (which for purposes of this Section 2.1 shall mean the approval specified in clause (a) of the definition of “Requisite Principal Investors”) and shall be exercised on terms consistent with such approval. The proxy granted hereby is irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Each Principal Investor who is granted such proxy agrees that it shall only be voted in a manner consistent with such holder’s agreements with respect to voting contained in this Section 2.1.

2.1.1 Change of Control Transactions. If a vote of holders of Shares (or any class or series of Shares) is required under any applicable law or stock exchange regulations in connection with a Change of Control transaction being implemented pursuant to Section 4.2 or is determined to be otherwise desirable by the Requisite Principal Investors in connection with a transaction being implemented pursuant to Section 4.2, each holder of Shares agrees to cast all votes to which such holder is entitled in respect of the Shares, whether at any annual or special meeting, by written consent or otherwise, in such manner as the Requisite Principal Investors may instruct by written notice to approve any sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization or any other transaction or series of transactions involving the Company or its subsidiaries (or all or any portion of their respective assets) in connection with, or in furtherance of, the exercise by the Requisite Principal Investors of their rights under Section 4.2 and in all cases consistent with the provisions of such Section.

2.1.2 Recapitalization Transactions. If a vote of holders of Shares (or any class or series of Shares) is required under any applicable law or stock exchange regulations in connection with a Recapitalization Transaction being implemented pursuant to Section 4.3 or is determined to be otherwise desirable by the Requisite Principal Investors in connection with a Recapitalization Transaction being implemented pursuant to Section 4.3, each holder of Shares agrees to cast all votes to which such holder is entitled in respect of the Shares, whether at any annual or special meeting, by written consent or otherwise, in such manner as the Requisite Principal Investors may instruct by written notice to approve any aspect or aspects of such Recapitalization Transaction in connection with, or in furtherance of, the exercise by the Requisite Principal Investors of their rights under Section 4.3 and in all cases consistent with the provisions of such Section.

2.1.3 Certificate of Incorporation Amendments. Each holder of Shares agrees to cast all votes to which such holder is entitled in respect of the Shares, whether at any annual or special meeting, by written consent or otherwise, in such manner as the Requisite Principal Investors may instruct by written notice to approve any amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Company that is approved by the Requisite Principal Investors and (a) if applicable, by a Majority in Interest of the holders of any class of shares to the extent such amendment, by its terms, materially and adversely discriminates against such class of shares and (b) if applicable, by a Majority in Interest of the Other Investor Shares to the extent such amendment, by its terms, materially and adversely discriminates against the rights of the holders of Other Investor Shares.

2.1.4 Board of Directors. Each holder of Shares agrees to cast all votes to which such holder is entitled in respect of the Shares, whether at any annual or special meeting, by written consent or otherwise, in such manner as each Principal Investor Group may instruct by written notice (a) to elect each nominee designated by such Principal Investor Group to the Board pursuant to Section 7.1.1 or 7.3 and (b) to remove any Principal Investor Director from the Board designated by such Principal Investor Group pursuant to Section 7.2.

2.2 Consent to Amendment. Each holder of Shares agrees to cast all votes to which such holder is entitled in respect of the Shares, whether at any annual or special meeting, by written consent or otherwise, in such manner as the Requisite Principal Investors may instruct by written notice to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A-8 Common Stock to the extent necessary to permit the Company to comply with the provisions of its certificate of incorporation with respect to the conversion of shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock, Class A-3 Common Stock, Class A-4 Common Stock, Class A-5 Common Stock, Class A-6 Common Stock, Class A-7 Common Stock and Class L Stock into shares of Class A-8 Common Stock. For so long as there are any Principal Investors remaining, each holder of Shares hereby appoints each Principal Investor as its proxy to vote such holder’s Shares, whether at a meeting or by written consent in accordance with such holder’s agreements contained in this Section 2.2, which proxy shall be valid and remain in effect until the applicable provisions of this Section 2.2 expire pursuant to Section 2.5. The power and authority to exercise the proxy granted hereby shall be exercised if and only if the matter to be voted on has been approved by the Requisite Principal Investors (which for purposes of this Section 2.2 shall mean the approval specified in clause (a) of the definition of “Requisite Principal Investors”) and shall be exercised on terms consistent with such approval. The proxy granted hereby is irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Each Principal Investor who is granted such proxy agrees that it shall only be voted in a manner consistent with such holder’s agreements with respect to voting contained in this Section 2.2.

2.3 Limitation of Proxy. For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly contemplated by this Article II, none of the Principal Investors has been granted a proxy to exercise the rights of any Stockholder under this Agreement or the Participation, Registration Rights and Coordination Agreement.

2.4 The Company and Lowerco. The Company and Lowerco will not give effect to any action by any holder of Shares or any other Person which is in contravention of this Article II.

2.5 Period. Each of the foregoing provisions of this Article II shall expire on the earlier of (a) a Change of Control, (b)(i) in the case of Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.3, the Qualified Public Offering and (ii) in the case of Section 2.1.1, the third anniversary of the Qualified Public Offering and (c) with respect to any particular provision, the last date permitted by applicable law (including the rules of the Commission and any exchange upon which equity securities of the Company are listed).

Any transferee receiving Shares in a Transfer pursuant to Section 3.1.1, 3.1.4(b) or (c) or, prior to the closing of a Qualified Public Offering, 3.1.5 shall become a Stockholder party to this Agreement and be subject to the terms and conditions of, and be entitled to enforce, this Agreement to

 

5


the same extent, and in the same capacity, as the Stockholder that Transfers such Shares to such transferee; provided, that only a Permitted Transferee of a Principal Investor will be deemed to be a “Principal Investor” for purposes of this Agreement, only a Permitted Transferee of an Other Investor will be deemed to be an “Other Investor” for purposes of this Agreement and only a Permitted Transferee of a Manager or a Manager Designee will be deemed to be a “Manager Designee” for purposes of this Agreement. Prior to the initial Transfer of any Shares to any transferee pursuant to Section 3.1.1, 3.1.4(b) or (c) or, prior to the closing of a Qualified Public Offering, 3.1.5, and as a condition thereto, each holder of Shares effecting such Transfer (or in the case of a Transfer being effectuated pursuant to Section 4.1, the Prospective Selling Stockholder) shall (a) cause such transferee to deliver to the Company and each of the Principal Investor Groups (other than the Principal Investor Group of which the transferor is a member, if applicable) its written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent described in the preceding sentence (and any Other Investor may receive from the Company, upon request, any such agreements previously delivered) and (b) if such Transfer is to a Permitted Transferee, remain directly liable for the performance by such Permitted Transferee of all obligations of such transferee under this Agreement.

3.3 Restrictions on Transfers to Strategic Investors. In addition to any other provision of this Agreement, no holder of Shares shall Transfer any Shares pursuant to Sections 3.1.1, 3.1.3(b) or 3.1.5 of this Agreement to a Strategic Investor without the approval of the Requisite Principal Investors. If any Prospective Selling Stockholder proposes to Transfer any Shares pursuant to Sections 3.1.1, 3.1.3(b) or 3.1.5 to any Prospective Buyer, the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall furnish a written notice (which notice may be the same notice as the Tag Along Notice, if any, delivered pursuant to Section 4.1 or the Sale Notice, if any, delivered pursuant to Section 4.6, in each case so long as such notice includes all of the information required by the next sentence) to the Company and each Principal Investor Group at least ten business days prior to such proposed Transfer. Such notice shall set forth the principal terms of the proposed Transfer, including (a) the number and class of Shares to be Transferred, (b) the per share purchase price or the formula by which such price is to be determined and (c) the name and address of the Prospective Buyer. If the Prospective Buyer (or an Affiliate thereof) has previously been determined by the Requisite Principal Investors to be a Strategic Investor and such determination has not been reversed by written notice to all holders of Shares, the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall not Transfer any Shares to such Prospective Buyer without the written approval of the Requisite Principal Investors. If the Prospective Buyer (or an Affiliate thereof) has not previously been determined by the Requisite Principal Investors to be a Strategic Investor, the Prospective Selling Stockholder may Transfer Shares to such Prospective Buyer unless, within seven business days after the date of delivery of the notice required by the second preceding sentence, the Requisite Principal Investors deliver written notice to the Prospective Selling Stockholder that such Prospective Buyer has been designated a Strategic Investor. If, within such time period, a notice designating such Prospective Buyer a Strategic Investor is delivered, then the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall not Transfer any Shares to such Prospective Buyer without the approval of the Requisite Principal Investors. In the event any proposed Transfer to a Strategic Investor is approved in accordance with the foregoing, such approval shall also apply to Transfers made to such Prospective Buyer by any Tag Along Sellers.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the restrictions in this Section 3.3 shall not apply to any Transfers (v) to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (w) to any Principal Investor, (x) to any Affiliated Fund of any Principal Investor, (y) pursuant to Rule 144 effected as “brokers’ transactions” (as defined in Rule 144), or (z) pursuant to an underwritten Public Offering or, following the Qualified Public Offering, pursuant to Rule 144 directly to a “market maker” (as defined in Rule 144) or pursuant to a block sale to a financial institution in the ordinary course of its trading business, in each case under this clause (z) in which, to the knowledge of the Prospective Selling Stockholder, the underwriter(s), market maker(s) or block sale purchaser(s) are not acquiring such Shares for the intended purpose of reselling such Shares to any Person that, after giving effect to such resale, would own, directly or indirectly, more than five percent (5%) of the then outstanding shares of the applicable class of Shares or to any Person who is a Strategic Investor.

3.4 Spin-Off Limits. Each Stockholder acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, the Company is exploring a potential distribution of the stock of one or more subsidiaries conducting the Company’s availability service business segment to its stockholders in a transaction (the “Spin-Off”) intended to qualify as tax-free at both the shareholder and corporate levels pursuant to Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Except with respect to Transfers pursuant to Article VI, but subject to any other restrictions to which the Company may be subject from time to time, notwithstanding any other rights to Transfer Shares that a Stockholder

 

6


may have hereunder, each Stockholder shall be prohibited from any Transfer of Shares prior to the date of the Spin-Off unless the Requisite Principal Investors determine, in good faith (based upon the written advice of a nationally recognized tax advisor selected by the Majority Principal Investors (or the Company if there are no Principal Investors remaining) and taking into account actual and reasonably foreseeable contemporaneous and future transfers of shares of Stock) that such Transfer should not jeopardize or delay the Company’s ability to implement the Spin-Off as tax-free at both the shareholder and corporate levels or restrict the amount of stock of the Company or a Subsidiary that may be issued, acquired or transferred in connection with or following the Spin-Off without jeopardizing the Spin-Off as tax-free at both the shareholder and corporate levels; provided, however, that, subject to any other restrictions under, and in accordance with, this Agreement, a Stockholder shall not be prohibited under this Section 3.4 from Transferring Shares (a) in connection with and pursuant to a Recapitalization Transaction if the Company has received a tax opinion from a nationally recognized tax advisor (mutually acceptable to the Company and the Majority Principal Investors) or a letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, each in a form satisfactory to the Requisite Principal Investors and the Company, to the effect that the Recapitalization Transaction is a tax-free transaction and addressing (in a manner mutually acceptable to the Company and the Requisite Principal Investors) other matters relevant to the Spin-Off; and (b) after the Company has notified the Stockholders that the Spin-Off has been formally abandoned by the Board. The Company shall provide any written guidance described in this Section 3.4 to any Stockholder who requests a copy of such guidance, provided that such guidance will be subject to the provisions of Section 12.10 hereunder.

3.5 Impermissible Transfer. Any attempted Transfer of Shares not permitted under the terms of this Article III shall be null and void, and neither the Company nor Lowerco shall in any way give effect to any such impermissible Transfer.

3.6 Notice of Transfer. To the extent any Stockholder or Permitted Transferee shall Transfer any Shares pursuant to Section 3.1.1 or 3.1.5, such Stockholder or Permitted Transferee shall, within five business days following consummation of such Transfer, deliver notice thereof to the Company and each Principal Investor Group, provided, however, that such notice shall be provided only to the Company if prior notice of such transaction was previously provided to the Principal Investor Groups in accordance with Section 3.2 or 3.3.

3.7 Other Restrictions on Transfer. The restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement are in addition to any other restrictions on Transfer to which a Stockholder may be subject, including, without limitation, any restrictions on transfer contained in a restricted stock agreement, stock option agreement, stock subscription agreement or other agreement to which such Stockholder is a party or by which it is bound.

3.8 Period. Each of the foregoing provisions of this Article III shall expire upon a Change of Control, provided that Sections 3.3 and 3.4 shall expire at such time as there are no Principal Investors remaining, if earlier.

ARTICLE IV.

“TAG ALONG” AND “DRAG ALONG” RIGHTS AND RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

4.1 Tag Along. Subject to prior compliance with Section 4.6, if any Prospective Selling Stockholder proposes to Sell any Shares (other than Management Shares) of a single class or of multiple classes to any Prospective Buyer(s) (including a First Offer Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.6) prior to the closing of the Qualified Public Offering in a Transfer that is subject to Section 3.1.5:

4.1.1 Notice. The Prospective Selling Stockholder shall, prior to any such proposed Transfer, furnish a written notice (the “Tag Along Notice”) to the Company, which shall promptly furnish the Tag Along Notice to each Investor (other than any Investor that is the Prospective Buyer or a member of the Prospective Buyer’s Principal Investor Group, if applicable, or a member of the Prospective Selling Stockholder’s Principal Investor Group, if applicable), and each Manager who holds Tag Eligible Shares (each, a “Tag Along Holder”). The Tag Along Notice shall include:

(a) the principal terms and conditions of the proposed Sale, including (i) the number and class of Shares to be purchased from the Prospective Selling Stockholder, (ii) the fraction(s) expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of Shares of each class to be purchased from the Prospective Selling Stockholder by the total number of Tag Eligible Shares of each such class held by the Prospective Selling Stockholder (for each class, the “Tag Along Sale Percentage”) (it being understood that

 

7


the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Prospective Selling Stockholder in respect of the determination of each applicable Tag Along Sale Percentage), (iii) the per share purchase price or the formula by which such price is to be determined and the payment terms, including a description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit valuation thereof, (iv) the name and address of each Prospective Buyer and (v) if known, the proposed Transfer date; and

(b) an invitation to each Tag Along Holder to make an offer to include in the proposed Sale to the applicable Prospective Buyer Tag Eligible Shares of the same class(es) being sold by the Prospective Selling Stockholder held by such Tag Along Holder (not in any event to exceed the Tag Along Sale Percentage of the total number of Tag Eligible Shares of the applicable class held by such Tag Along Holder), on the same terms and conditions (subject to Section 4.5.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities and subject to Section 4.5.1 under all circumstances), with respect to each Share Sold, as the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall Sell each of its Shares. For purposes of this Section 4.1, the Class A Stock will be treated as a single class and, subject to Section 4.5.4, all Options and Warrants will be treated as the same class of Shares for which they may be exercised.

4.1.2 Exercise. Within seven (ten, if the proposed Transfer is not also the subject of a currently effective Sale Notice under Section 4.6) business days after the date of delivery of the Tag Along Notice by the Company to each applicable Investor or Manager, each Tag Along Holder desiring to make an offer to include Tag Eligible Shares of the same class(es) being sold by the Prospective Selling Stockholder in the proposed Sale (each a “Participating Seller” and, together with the Prospective Selling Stockholder, collectively, the “Tag Along Sellers”) shall furnish a written notice (the “Tag Along Offer”) to the Prospective Selling Stockholder indicating the number of Tag Eligible Shares of the same class(es) being sold by the Prospective Selling Stockholder which such Participating Seller desires to have included in the proposed Sale (not in any event to exceed the Tag Along Sale Percentage of the total number of Tag Eligible Shares of the applicable class held by such Tag Along Holder). If the proposed Sale involves shares of multiple classes, each Participating Seller must include Tag Eligible Shares of each class in the same proportions as are being sold by the Prospective Selling Stockholder. Each Tag Along Holder who does not make a Tag Along Offer in compliance with the above requirements, including the time period, shall have waived and be deemed to have waived all of such holder’s rights with respect to such Sale, and the Tag Along Sellers shall thereafter be free to Sell to the Prospective Buyer, at a per share price no greater than the per share price set forth in the Tag Along Notice and on other principal terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to the Tag Along Sellers than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice, without any further obligation to such non-accepting Tag Along Holder pursuant to this Section 4.1.

4.1.3 Irrevocable Offer. The offer of each Participating Seller contained in such holder’s Tag Along Offer shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, such Participating Seller shall be bound and obligated to Sell in the proposed Sale on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each Share Sold (subject to Section 4.5.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities), as the Prospective Selling Stockholder, up to such number of Tag Eligible Shares as such Participating Seller shall have specified in such holder’s Tag Along Offer; provided, however, if, prior to consummation, the terms of such proposed Sale shall change with the result that the per share price shall be less than the per share price set forth in the Tag Along Notice or the other principal terms and conditions shall be materially less favorable to the Tag Along Sellers than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a material portion of the cash consideration being modified to non-cash consideration), the acceptance by each Participating Seller shall be deemed to be revoked, and it shall be necessary for a separate Tag Along Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 4.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Sale pursuant to this Section 4.1; provided, however, that in such case of a separate Tag Along Notice, the applicable period to which reference is made in Section 4.1.2 shall be two business days.

 

8


4.1.4 Reduction of Shares Sold. The Prospective Selling Stockholder shall attempt to obtain the inclusion in the proposed Sale of the entire number of Tag Eligible Shares which each of the Tag Along Sellers requested to have included in the Sale (as evidenced in the case of the Prospective Selling Stockholder by the Tag Along Notice and in the case of each Participating Seller by such Participating Seller’s Tag Along Offer). In the event the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall be unable to obtain the inclusion of such entire number of Tag Eligible Shares in the proposed Sale, the number of Tag Eligible Shares to be sold in the proposed Sale shall be allocated among the Tag Along Sellers in proportion, as nearly as practicable, as follows:

(a) there shall be first allocated to each Tag Along Seller a number of Tag Eligible Shares equal to the lesser of (i) the number of Tag Eligible Shares offered (or proposed, in the case of the Prospective Selling Stockholder) to be included by such Tag Along Seller in the proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4.1, and (ii) a number of Tag Eligible Shares equal to such Tag Along Seller’s Pro Rata Portion; and

(b) the balance, if any, not allocated pursuant to clause (a) above shall be allocated to those Tag Along Sellers which offered to sell a number of Tag Eligible Shares of the applicable class in excess of such Person’s Pro Rata Portion pro rata to each such Tag Along Seller based upon the amount of such excess, or in such other manner as the Tag Along Sellers may otherwise agree.

In the event that the number of Shares that each Participating Seller will be permitted to sell in a particular Sale is reduced in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) above, the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall be responsible for determining the total number of Shares to be sold by each Participating Seller in the proposed Sale in accordance with this Section 4.1.4, and shall provide notice to each Participating Seller of the number of Shares that such Participating Seller will be selling in such Sale no later than three business days prior to the consummation of such Sale.

4.1.5 Additional Compliance. If prior to consummation, the terms of the proposed Sale shall change with the result that the per share price to be paid in such proposed Sale shall be greater than the per share price set forth in the Tag Along Notice or the other principal terms of such proposed Sale shall be materially more favorable to the Tag Along Sellers than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice, the Tag Along Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Tag Along Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 4.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4.1; provided, however, that in the case of such a separate Tag Along Notice, the applicable period to which reference is made in Section 4.1.2 shall be two business days. In addition, if the Prospective Selling Stockholders have not completed the proposed Sale by the end of the 120th day after the date of delivery of: (a) if the proposed Transfer is also the subject of a currently effective Sale Notice under Section 4.6, such Sale Notice, and (b) otherwise, the Tag Along Notice by the Company, each Participating Seller shall be released from such holder’s obligations under such holder’s Tag Along Offer, the Tag Along Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Tag Along Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 4.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4.1, unless the failure to complete such proposed Sale resulted directly from any failure by any Participating Seller to comply with the terms of this Article IV.

4.2 Change of Control Drag Along. Each Stockholder agrees, if requested in writing by the Requisite Principal Investors at any time prior to the third anniversary of the closing of the Qualified Public Offering, to Sell a percentage of each class of Shares held by such Stockholder that is equal to the percentage of such Shares owned by the Prospective Selling Stockholders that are proposed to be Sold by the Prospective Selling Stockholders (which may be of a single class or of multiple classes) to a Prospective Buyer which would result in a Change of Control (the “Drag Along Sale Percentage”), in the manner and on the terms set forth in this Section 4.2; provided, however, that this Section 4.2 shall not apply to a Change of Control if (a) the applicable Prospective Buyer is a member of a Principal Investor Group or an entity in which any Principal Investor or any Affiliate thereof has a material interest and (b) such Change of Control has not been approved by vote or written consent of the Principal Investor Majority. For purposes of this Section 4.2, the Class A Stock will be treated as a single class. Subject to Section 4.5.4, all Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities will be the same class of Shares for which they may be exercised or into which they may be converted. All Shares to be sold pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be included in determining whether or not a proposed transaction constitutes a Change of Control.

4.2.1 Exercise in a Change of Control Transaction. The Prospective Selling Stockholders shall furnish a written notice (the “Drag Along Sale Notice”) to the Company at least ten business days prior to the consummation of the Change of Control transaction and the Company shall promptly furnish such Drag Along Sale Notice to each Stockholder other than the Prospective Selling Stockholder. The Drag Along Sale Notice shall set forth the principal terms and conditions of the proposed Sale, including (a) the number and class of

 

9


Shares to be acquired from the Prospective Selling Stockholders, (b) the Drag Along Sale Percentage for each class, (c) the per share consideration to be received in the proposed Sale for each class, including the form of consideration (if other than cash), (d) the name and address of the Prospective Buyer and (e) if known, the proposed Transfer date. If the Prospective Selling Stockholders consummate the proposed Sale to which reference is made in the Drag Along Sale Notice, each other Stockholder (each, a “Participating Seller,” and, together with the Prospective Selling Stockholders, collectively, the “Drag Along Sellers”) shall: (x) be bound and obligated to Sell the Drag Along Sale Percentage of such Stockholder’s Shares of each class in the proposed Sale on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each Share Sold (subject to Section 4.5.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities) as the Prospective Selling Stockholders shall Sell (subject to Section 4.5.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities and subject to Section 4.5.1 under all circumstances); and (y) except as provided in Section 4.5.1, shall receive the same form and amount of consideration per Share to be received by the Prospective Selling Stockholders for the corresponding class of Shares (on an as converted basis, if applicable) provided that any securities received as consideration may differ with respect to rights relating to the election of directors. Except as provided in Section 4.5.1, if any Stockholders holding Shares of any class are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received (other than with respect to any roll-over option given to any or all holders of Management Shares), all Stockholders holding Shares of such class will be given the same option. Unless otherwise agreed by each Drag Along Seller, any non-cash consideration shall be allocated among the Drag Along Sellers pro rata based upon the aggregate amount of consideration to be received by such Drag Along Sellers. If at the end of the 270th day after the date of delivery of the Drag Along Sale Notice the Prospective Selling Stockholders have not completed the proposed Sale, the Drag Along Sale Notice shall be null and void, each Participating Seller shall be released from such holder’s obligation under the Drag Along Sale Notice and it shall be necessary for a separate Drag Along Sale Notice to be furnished and the terms and provisions of this Section 4.2 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4.2. The right of a holder of Unvested Shares to receive consideration for such Unvested Shares pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be subject to the vesting and other terms of such Unvested Shares.

4.2.2 Waiver of Appraisal Rights. Each Drag Along Seller agrees not to demand or exercise appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to a transaction subject to this Section 4.2 as to which such appraisal rights are available.

4.2.3 Miscellaneous Provisions. The provisions of Section 4.5 shall apply to any Sale under this Section 4.2 to the extent, and on the terms, provided therein.

4.3 Recapitalization Transaction Drag Along. Each Stockholder hereby agrees, if requested by the Requisite Principal Investors at any time at or prior to the closing of the Qualified Public Offering, to exchange or convert a percentage of each class of Shares held by such Stockholder that is equal to the percentage of such Shares owned by the applicable Requisite Principal Investors which are proposed to be exchanged or converted by the Requisite Principal Investors in a Recapitalization Transaction (the “Drag Along Recapitalization Percentage”), in the manner and on the terms set forth in this Section 4.3. For purposes of this Section 4.3, the Class A Stock will be treated as a single class. Subject to Section 4.5.4, all Convertible Securities, Options and Warrants will be the same class of Shares for which they may be exercised.

4.3.1 Exercise in a Recapitalization Transaction. The Company (solely at the direction of the Requisite Principal Investors) shall furnish a written notice (the “Drag Along Recapitalization Notice”) to each Stockholder at least ten business days prior to the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction. The Drag Along Recapitalization Notice shall set forth the principal terms and conditions of the proposed Recapitalization Transaction, including (a) the number and class of Shares to be exchanged or converted in the Recapitalization Transaction, (b) the Drag Along Recapitalization Percentage for each class and (c) the new form of securities to be received upon exchange or conversion of Shares of each class of Shares being exchanged or converted. If the Recapitalization Transaction described in such Drag Along Recapitalization Notice is consummated, each Stockholder shall: (x) be bound and obligated to convert or exchange the Drag Along Recapitalization Percentage of such Stockholder’s Shares of each class included in the proposed Recapitalization Transaction on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each Share being exchanged or converted (subject to Section 4.3.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities) as the other holders of such Shares (subject to Section 4.3.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities and subject to Section 4.3.2

 

10


under all circumstances); and (y) except as provided in Section 4.3.2, shall receive the same securities per Share exchanged or converted except for differences, if any, that relate to the election of directors. If at the end of the 270th day after the date of delivery of the Drag Along Recapitalization Notice the Recapitalization Transaction has not been completed, the Drag Along Recapitalization Notice shall be null and void, each Stockholder shall be released from such Stockholder’s obligation under the Drag Along Recapitalization Notice and it shall be necessary for a separate Drag Along Recapitalization Notice to be furnished and the terms and provisions of this Section 4.3.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Recapitalization Transaction pursuant to Section 4.3. The right of a holder of Unvested Shares to receive securities upon conversion or exchange of such Unvested Shares pursuant to this Section 4.3.1 shall be subject to the vesting and other terms of such Unvested Shares.

4.3.2 Certain Legal Requirements. In the event the receipt of securities to be received in exchange for, or upon conversion of, Shares in a proposed Recapitalization Transaction pursuant to Section 4.3 by a Stockholder would require under applicable law (a) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities where such registration or qualification is not otherwise required for the Recapitalization Transaction or (b) the provision to any Stockholder of any specified information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries, such securities or the issuer thereof that is not otherwise required to be provided for the Recapitalization Transaction by the Company, then, at the election of the Requisite Principal Investors, such Stockholder shall not have the right to exchange or convert Shares in such proposed Recapitalization Transaction. In such event, the Company shall have the obligation to cause to be paid to such Stockholder in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Shares (in accordance with Section 4.3.5 hereof) which would have otherwise been exchanged or converted by such Stockholder in the Recapitalization Transaction, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the effective date of the Recapitalization Transaction.

4.3.3 Further Assurances. Each Stockholder shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in order expeditiously to consummate any Recapitalization Transaction and any related transactions, including executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments and otherwise cooperating with the Company; provided that no Stockholder shall be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless such Stockholder is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Stockholder agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably specified by the Company, including agreements (a) to make individual representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements as to the unencumbered title to its Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Shares and the absence of any Adverse Claim with respect to such Shares, (b) to be liable as to such representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements, in each case to the same extent as the other Stockholder(s) are liable for the comparable representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by them or on their behalf and (c) approved by the Requisite Principal Investors with respect to the securities to be received by Stockholders in the Recapitalization Transaction; provided that (i) the holders of Management Shares shall not be bound by any term or provision of such agreement that would (x) if proposed as an Amendment (other than a Specified Amendment) to this Agreement, require the consent of the Management Representative under Section 10.2(b), unless such term or provision is consented to by the Management Representative, or (y) if proposed as a Specified Amendment, require the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Management Shares under Section 10.2(b), unless such term or provision is consented to by a Majority in Interest of the Management Shares, and (ii) the holders of Other Investor Shares shall not be bound by any term or provision of such agreement that would, if proposed as an Amendment to this Agreement, require the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Other Investor Shares under Section 10.2(c), unless such term or provision is consented to by a Majority in Interest of the Other Investor Shares. Each Stockholder hereby constitutes and appoints each member of the Requisite Principal Investors who requested such Recapitalization Transaction, or any of them, with full power of substitution, as such Stockholder’s true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, in such Stockholder’s name, place and stead, to execute and deliver any and all agreements that the members of the Requisite Principal Investors who requested such Recapitalization Transaction reasonably believe are consistent with this Section 4.3.3, and such member of the Requisite Principal Investors shall provide a copy of such agreements to such Stockholder within five business days of execution, provided, however, that failure to deliver such documents within such time period shall not impair or affect the validity of such agreements. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the subsequent death, incapacity, bankruptcy or dissolution of any Stockholder.

4.3.4 Treatment of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities. If any Stockholder shall convert or exchange Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities in any Recapitalization Transaction pursuant to this Section 4.3, such Stockholder shall receive in exchange for such Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities, options, warrants or convertible securities, as the case may be, with substantially similar terms (including with respect to the spread between the fair market value of the relevant security and the exercise price to purchase such security) as the Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities being exchanged or converted, and which are exercisable or convertible for securities of the same nature as are being issued to the Stockholders in the Recapitalization Transaction in exchange for the Shares which the Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities in question were initially exercisable for, or convertible into.

4.3.5 Closing. The closing of a Recapitalization Transaction to which this Section 4.3 applies shall take place (a) on the proposed conversion or exchange date, if any, specified in the Drag Along Recapitalization Notice (provided that consummation of any Transfer may be extended beyond such date to the extent necessary to obtain any applicable governmental approval or other required approval or to satisfy other conditions) or (b) if no proposed Transfer date was specified in the Drag Along Recapitalization Notice, at such time as the Company shall specify by reasonable notice to each Stockholder. At the closing of such Recapitalization Transaction, each Stockholder shall deliver the certificates evidencing the Shares to be exchanged or converted by such Stockholder, duly endorsed, or with stock (or equivalent) powers duly endorsed, for transfer with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, with any stock (or equivalent) transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery of the applicable consideration and any comparable transfer materials for any Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities to be exchanged or converted.

4.4 Spin-Off Transaction. Each Stockholder hereby agrees that, if the Company engages in a Spin-Off of one of the Businesses in which the Stockholders receive capital stock on a pro rata basis with all other Stockholders in such spun-off entity, each Stockholder will, if requested by the Requisite Principal Investors, execute and deliver agreements with respect to such Stockholder’s shares (including shares issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any options, warrants or convertible securities) in the spun-off entity containing terms and conditions substantially similar to this Agreement, and/or such other agreements as the Requisite Principal Investors approve and enter into; provided that (a) the holders of Management Shares shall not be bound by any term or provision of such agreement that would (i) if proposed as an Amendment (other than a Specified Amendment) to this Agreement, require the consent of the Management Representative under Section 10.2(b), unless such term or provision is consented to by the Management Representative, or (ii) if proposed as a Specified Amendment, require the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Management Shares under Section 10.2(b), unless such term or provision is consented to by a Majority in Interest of the Management Shares, and (b) the holders of Other Investor Shares shall not be bound by any term or provision of such agreement that would, if proposed as an Amendment to this Agreement, require the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Other Investor Shares under Section 10.2(c), unless such term or provision is consented to by a Majority in Interest of the Other Investor Shares (it being understood that, for purposes of this provision, the reference to the Management Representative shall be deemed to be a reference to the Management Representative of such spun-off entity, and the references to Management Shares and Other Investor Shares shall be deemed to be references to the equivalent shares in the spun-off entity).

4.5 Miscellaneous Sale Provisions. The following provisions shall be applied to any proposed Sale to which Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.6 apply:

4.5.1 Certain Legal Requirements. In the event the consideration to be paid in exchange for Shares in a proposed Sale pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 includes any securities, and the receipt thereof by a Participating Seller would require under applicable law (a) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities where such registration or qualification is not otherwise required for the Sale by the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) or (b) the provision to any Tag Along Seller or Drag Along Seller of any specified information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries, such securities or the issuer thereof that is not otherwise required to be provided for the Sale by the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s), then such Participating Seller shall not have the option to Sell Shares in such proposed Sale. In such event, the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) shall (x) in the case of a Sale pursuant to Section 4.1, have the right, but not the obligation, and (y) in the case of a Sale pursuant to

 

12


Section 4.2, have the obligation, to cause to be paid to such Participating Seller in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Shares (in accordance with Section 4.5.5 hereof) which would have otherwise been Sold by such Participating Seller to the Prospective Buyer in the proposed Sale, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date such securities would have been issued in exchange for such Shares.

4.5.2 Further Assurances. Each Participating Seller and First Offer Purchaser shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in order expeditiously to consummate each Sale pursuant to Section 4.1, Section 4.2 or Section 4.6 and any related transactions, including executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; furnishing information and copies of documents; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; and otherwise cooperating with the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) and the Prospective Buyer; provided, however, that Participating Sellers shall be obligated to become liable in respect of any representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or otherwise to the Prospective Buyer solely to the extent provided in the immediately following sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Participating Seller agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably specified by the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) to which such Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) will also be party, including agreements to (a)(i) make individual representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements as to the unencumbered title to its Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Shares and the absence of any Adverse Claim with respect to such Shares and (ii) be liable as to such representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements, in each case to the same extent as the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) are liable for the comparable representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by them or on their behalf (with any limit on liability applied based on the relative value of their respective Shares), and (b) in the case of a Sale pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2, be liable (whether by purchase price adjustment, indemnity payments or otherwise) in respect of representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in respect of the Company and its subsidiaries; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of liability described in this clause (b) in connection with any Sale of Shares shall not exceed the lesser of (x) such Participating Seller’s pro rata portion of any such liability, to be determined in accordance with such Participating Seller’s portion of the aggregate proceeds to all Participating Sellers and Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) in connection with such Sale or (y) the proceeds to such Participating Seller in connection with such Sale. Each Participating Seller hereby constitutes and appoints each of the Prospective Selling Stockholders, or any of them, with full power of substitution, as such Participating Seller’s true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, in such Participating Seller’s name, place and stead, to execute and deliver any and all agreements that such Prospective Selling Stockholder reasonably believes are consistent with this Section 4.5.2 and such member of the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall provide a copy of such agreements to such Stockholder within five business days of execution, provided, however, that failure to deliver such documents within such time period shall not impair or affect the validity of such agreements. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the subsequent death, incapacity, bankruptcy or dissolution of any Participating Seller.

4.5.3 Sale Process. The Requisite Principal Investors, in the case of a proposed Sale pursuant to Section 4.2, or the Prospective Selling Stockholder, in the case of a proposed Sale pursuant to Section 4.1 shall, in their sole discretion, decide whether or not to pursue, consummate, postpone or abandon any proposed Sale and the terms and conditions thereof. No holder of Shares nor any Affiliate of any such holder shall have any liability to any other holder of Shares or the Company arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Sale except to the extent such holder shall have failed to comply with the provisions of this Article IV.

4.5.4 Treatment of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities. If any Participating Seller shall Sell Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities in any Sale pursuant to Article IV, such Participating Seller shall receive in exchange for such Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities consideration in the amount (if greater than zero) equal to the purchase price received by the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) in such Sale for the number of shares of each class of Stock that would be issued upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities less the exercise price, if any, of such Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities (to the extent exercisable, convertible or exchangeable at the time of such Sale), subject to reduction for any tax or other amounts required to be withheld under applicable law.

 

13


4.5.5 Closing. The closing of a Sale to which Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.6 applies shall take place (a) on the proposed Transfer date, if any, specified in the Tag Along Notice, Drag Along Sale Notice or Sale Notice, as applicable (provided that consummation of any Transfer may be extended beyond such date to the extent necessary to obtain any applicable governmental approval or other required approval or to satisfy other conditions), (b) if no proposed Transfer date was required to be specified in the applicable notice, at such time as the Prospective Selling Stockholders shall specify by notice to each Participating Seller and (c) at such place as the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) shall specify by notice to each Participating Seller or First Offer Purchaser, as applicable. At the closing of such Sale, each Participating Seller shall deliver the certificates evidencing the Shares to be Sold by such Participating Seller, duly endorsed, or with stock (or equivalent) powers duly endorsed, for transfer with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, with any stock (or equivalent) transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery of the applicable consideration, and any comparable transfer materials for any Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities to be Sold.

4.6 Right of First Offer. If any Prospective Selling Stockholder proposes to Sell any Shares before the closing of a Qualified Public Offering in a Transfer (including to another Stockholder or the Company or any of its subsidiaries) that is subject to Section 3.1.5:

4.6.1 Notice. The Prospective Selling Stockholder shall furnish a written notice of such proposed Sale (a “Sale Notice”) to each Principal Investor Group (other than any Principal Investor Group of which the Prospective Selling Stockholder is a member) and each Senior Manager (unless such Senior Manager is the Prospective Selling Stockholder) (each such Principal Investor Group or Senior Manager, a “First Offer Holder”) prior to any such proposed Transfer. The Sale Notice shall include:

(a) (i) the number and class(es) of Shares proposed to be sold by the Prospective Selling Stockholder (the “Subject Shares”), (ii) the per share cash purchase price or the formula by which such cash price is to be determined and (iii) the proposed Transfer date, if known; and

(b) an invitation to each First Offer Holder to make an offer to purchase (subject to Section 4.6.6 below) any number of the Subject Shares at such price.

4.6.2 Exercise.

(a) Within twenty business days after the date of delivery of the Sale Notice (the “First Offer Deadline”), each First Offer Holder may make an offer to purchase any number of the Subject Shares at the price set forth in the Sale Notice by furnishing a written notice (the “First Offer Notice”) of such offer specifying a number of Subject Shares offered to be purchased from the Prospective Selling Stockholder (each such Person delivering such notice, a “First Offer Purchaser”). The receipt of consideration by any Prospective Selling Stockholder selling Shares in payment for the transfer of such Shares pursuant to this Section 4.6.2 shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Prospective Selling Stockholder that: (i) such Prospective Selling Stockholder has full right, title and interest in and to such Shares; (ii) such Prospective Selling Stockholder has all necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary actions to sell such Shares as contemplated by this Section 4.6.2; and (iii) such Shares are free and clear of any and all liens or encumbrances except pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Each First Offer Holder not furnishing a First Offer Notice that complies with the above requirements, including the applicable time periods, shall be deemed to have waived all of such First Offer Holder’s rights to purchase such Subject Shares under this Section 4.6.2 and the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall thereafter be free to Sell the Subject Shares to the First Offer Purchasers and/or any Prospective Buyer, at a per share purchase price no less than the price set forth in the Sale Notice, without any further obligation to such First Offer Holder pursuant to this Section 4.6.

4.6.3 Irrevocable Offer. The offer of each First Offer Purchaser contained in a First Offer Notice shall be irrevocable, and, subject to Section 4.6.6 below, to the extent such offer is accepted, such First Offer Purchaser shall be bound and obligated to purchase the number of Subject Shares set forth in such First Offer Purchaser’s First Offer Notice.

 

14


4.6.4 Acceptance of Offers. Within ten business days after the First Offer Deadline, the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall inform each First Offer Purchaser, by written notice (the “Acceptance Notice”), of whether or not the Prospective Selling Stockholder will accept all (but not less than all) offers of the First Offer Purchasers. In the event the Prospective Selling Stockholder fails to furnish the Acceptance Notice within the specified time period, the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall be deemed to have decided not to Sell the Subject Shares to the First Offer Purchasers. If the Prospective Selling Stockholder decides not to Sell the Subject Shares to the First Offer Purchasers, each First Offer Purchaser shall be released from such holder’s obligations under such holder’s irrevocable offer. Acceptance of such offers by the Prospective Selling Stockholder is without prejudice to the Prospective Selling Stockholder’s discretion under Section 4.5.3 to determine whether or not to consummate any Sale.

4.6.5 Additional Compliance. If at the end of the 120th day after the date of delivery of the Sale Notice, the Prospective Selling Stockholder and First Offer Purchasers or Prospective Buyer (if not a First Offer Purchaser), if any, have not completed the Sale of the Subject Shares (other than due to the failure of any First Offer Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Section 4.6), each First Offer Purchaser shall be released from such holder’s obligations under such holder’s irrevocable offer, the Sale Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Sale Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 4.6 separately complied with, in order to consummate a Transfer of such Subject Shares; provided, however, that in the case of such a separate Sale Notice in which the classes of Subject Shares and the per share price are unchanged and the number of Subject Shares is substantially the same, the applicable period to which reference is made in Sections 4.6.2 and 4.6.4 shall be three business days and two business days, respectively.

4.6.6 Determination of the Number of Subject Shares to be Sold.

(a) In the event that, as of the First Offer Deadline, the number of Subject Shares offered to be purchased by the First Offer Purchasers is less than the number of Subject Shares, the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall provide notice of such shortfall to the First Offer Purchasers. Each First Offer Purchaser shall provide notice to the Prospective Selling Stockholder within two business days of receipt of the notice from the Prospective Selling Stockholder if it wishes to purchase all or any portion of the Subject Shares comprising such shortfall. In the event that, after such two additional business days, the number of Subject Shares offered to be purchased by the First Offer Purchasers is still less than the number of Subject Shares, (i) the Prospective Selling Stockholder may accept the offers of the First Offer Purchasers and, at the option of the Prospective Selling Stockholder, sell any remaining Subject Shares which the First Offer Purchasers did not elect to purchase to one or more Prospective Buyers at a price per share that is no less than the price set forth in the Sale Notice or (ii) if a single Prospective Buyer or group of Prospective Buyers is unwilling to purchase less than all of the Subject Shares, the Prospective Selling Stockholder may Sell all (but not less than all) of the Subject Shares to such Prospective Buyer or group of Prospective Buyers at a price per share that is no less than the price set forth in the Sale Notice rather than Sell any Subject Shares to the First Offer Purchasers. Such sales, if any, to Prospective Buyer(s) other than the First Offer Purchasers in accordance with clause (a) above shall be consummated together with the sale to the First Offer Purchasers.

(b) In the event that the Prospective Selling Stockholder has accepted the offers of the First Offer Purchasers and the aggregate number of Subject Shares offered to be purchased by (and to be sold to) the First Offer Purchasers is equal to or exceeds the aggregate number of Subject Shares, the Subject Shares shall be sold to the First Offer Purchasers as follows:

(i) there shall be first allocated to each First Offer Purchaser a number of Shares of each applicable class equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Shares of such class offered to be purchased by such First Offer Purchaser pursuant such holder’s First Offer Notice and any subsequent notice delivered by such First Offer Purchaser pursuant to the second sentence of Section 4.6.6(a), and (B) a number of Shares of such class equal to such First Offer Purchaser’s Pro Rata Portion; and

(ii) the balance, if any, not allocated pursuant to clause (i) above shall be allocated to those First Offer Purchasers which offered to purchase a number of Shares of the applicable class in excess of such Person’s Pro Rata Portion pro rata to each such First Offer Purchaser based upon the amount of such excess, or in such other manner as the First Offer Purchasers may otherwise agree.

 

15


In the event that the number of Subject Shares that each First Offer Purchaser will be permitted to purchase in a particular Sale is reduced in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall be responsible for determining the total number of Shares to be purchased by each First Offer Purchaser in the proposed Sale in accordance with this Section 4.6.6, and shall provide notice to each First Offer Purchaser of the number of Shares that such First Offer Purchaser will be purchasing in such Sale no later than three business days prior to the consummation of such Sale.

In the event any holders of Shares exercise such holders’ rights under Section 4.1 to sell Shares in connection with a Sale to First Offer Purchasers pursuant to this Section 4.6, such Shares (as the case may be, reduced in accordance with Section 4.1.5) shall be deemed to be Subject Shares for purposes of this Section 4.6 and shall be allocated among the First Offer Purchasers in accordance with this Section 4.6.6.

4.7 Period. The provisions of Article IV shall expire as to any Share on the earlier of (a) a Change of Control or (b) the closing of the Qualified Public Offering (or in the case of Section 4.2, the third anniversary of the closing of the Qualified Public Offering).

ARTICLE V.

HOLDER LOCK-UP

5.1 Lock Up. In connection with each underwritten Public Offering, each Stockholder hereby agrees, at the request of the Company or the managing underwriters, to be bound by and/or to execute and deliver, a lock-up agreement with the underwriter(s) of such Public Offering restricting such Stockholder’s right to (a) Transfer, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such Common Stock or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock, in each case to the extent that such restrictions are agreed to by the Majority Principal Investors (or a majority of the shares of Class A Stock if there are no Principal Investors remaining) with the underwriter(s) of such Public Offering (the “Principal Lock-Up Agreement”); provided, however, that no Stockholder shall be required by this Section 5.1 to be bound by a lock-up agreement covering a period of greater than 90 days (180 days in the case of any Public Offering up to and including the Qualified Public Offering) following the effectiveness of the related registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such lock-up agreement shall not apply to (a) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in (i) open market transactions or block purchases after the completion of the Qualified Public Offering or (ii) a Public Offering, (b) Transfers to Permitted Transferees of such Stockholder permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (c) conversions of shares of Stock into other classes of Stock or securities without change of holder and (d) during the period preceding the execution of the underwriting agreement, Transfers to a Charitable Organization permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI.

PUT AND CALL OPTIONS

6.1 Call Option. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Company and a Manager and subject to the proviso contained in this sentence, if any Manager ceases to be employed by the Company and its subsidiaries, as applicable, for any reason, the Company (or a subsidiary designated by the Company) shall have the right to purchase, out of funds legally available therefor, all or any portion of such Manager’s Covered Management Shares; provided, however, that this call right shall not apply to (a) any of such Manager’s Covered Management Shares if such Manager ceased to be employed by the Company and its subsidiaries, as applicable, as a result of such Manager’s death or Disability or (b) any Purchased and Roll Over Shares included in such Manager’s Covered Management Shares if such Manager was terminated by the Company and its subsidiaries, as applicable, other than (1) for Cause or (2) in connection with the Sale of a Business. If such Manager ceased to be employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any reason other than termination by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for Cause, then the purchase price per Share for each such Share that is a Vested Share shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of such Share and the purchase price per Share for each such Share that is an Unvested Share (determined as of the date of termination) shall be equal to the lower of Cost or Fair Market Value of such Share. If such Manager’s employment was terminated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for Cause, then the purchase price per Share for each such Share shall be equal to the lower of Cost or Fair Market Value of such Share. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make any payment required by this Section 6.1 in cash, provided, however, that, if such efforts are unsuccessful, the Company may issue a Promissory Note in lieu of cash

 

16


in the event that (x) the Company determines to exercise its call right in light of then existing numbers of share and/or option holders and Commission registration requirements, or (y) if the expected payment(s), together with any payments made during the 90 days prior to the date of expected payment, under either Section 6.1 or a separate written agreement between the Company and any Manager (taking into account amounts that would, but for this clause (y), be required to be paid in cash with respect to the exercise of the call right on the Covered Management Shares in question) would exceed $10 million. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company is exercising its call right pursuant to Section 6.1 with respect to Management Shares for which the relevant holder did not have a net exercise right, then the Company shall pay, in cash, the portion of payment equal to the exercise price and the minimum statutory withholding in cash, and shall be permitted to pay the balance of the amount due under Section 6.1 with a Promissory Note, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the sum of the cash paid and the initial principal amount of the applicable Promissory Note exceed the total call price to be paid as calculated pursuant to the second and third sentences of this Section 6.1.

6.2 Put Option. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Company and a Manager, if any Manager ceases to be employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries as a result of such Manager’s death or Disability (and if and to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code (including Section 409A thereof)), such Manager (or such Manager’s estate or legal representatives) and such Manager’s Designees shall have the right to require the Company, on 30 days prior notice, out of funds legally available therefor, to repurchase all or any portion of such Manager’s Covered Management Shares on a date that is (a) at least six months after the date on which such Manager or Manager Designee first exercised the Options underlying such Management Shares or, in the case of shares of Stock, acquired such Management Shares and (b) less than one year after such Manager ceases to be employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The purchase price per Share for each such Share that is a Vested Share shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of such Share and the purchase price per Share for each such Share that is an Unvested Share (determined as of the date of termination) shall be equal to the lower of Cost or Fair Market Value of such Share.

6.3 Cash Payments. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make any payment required by Section 6.2 in cash, but to the extent that (x) such payment of cash or (y) a distribution to the Company from any of its subsidiaries in an amount equal to the amount of cash required to be paid under the terms of Article VI or the amount of any payment on a Promissory Note issued under Article VI would, in any event, constitute, result in or give rise to a breach or violation of, or any default or right or cause of action under any agreement or indenture of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money or debt security, or would be prohibited under Section 160 of the DGCL (“Section 160”) or would otherwise violate the DGCL (or if the Company reincorporates in another jurisdiction, the applicable business corporation law of such jurisdiction), then the Company will not be obligated to make such cash payment, and will instead, to the extent permitted by Section 160, issue a Promissory Note.

6.4 Prepayments. Any Promissory Note issued under this Article VI may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty.

6.5 Notices, etc. Any right described in this Article VI may be exercised by delivery of written notice thereof (the “Option Notice”) from the Company to the relevant Manager or Manager Designee or such Person’s estate or from the relevant Manager or Manager Designee or such Person’s estate to the Company, in either case after the date of the termination of such Manager’s employment. The Option Notice shall state that the Company or such Manager or Manager Designee has elected to exercise such right, and the number of Shares with respect to which the right is being exercised.

6.6 Closing. The closing of any purchase and sale of Shares pursuant to the exercise of any right granted pursuant to this Article VI shall take place as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than 30 days after the date of the relevant Option Notice at the principal office of the Company, or at such other time and location as the parties to such purchase may mutually determine. The receipt of consideration by any Person selling Shares in payment for the transfer of such Shares pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Person that: (a) such Person has full right, title and interest in and to such Shares; (b) such Person has all necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to sell such Shares as contemplated by this Article VI; and (c) such Shares are free and clear of any and all liens or encumbrances.

 

17


6.7 Principal Investor Group Call Option. If the Company shall elect not to purchase pursuant to Section 6.1 any or all Covered Management Shares of a Manager whose employment has terminated, the Company shall notify each Principal Investor Group and each Principal Investor Group may purchase its pro rata portion of the remaining Covered Management Shares for the purchase price identified in Section 6.1. In the event any Principal Investor Group agrees to forego its full pro rata share of any Covered Management Shares of a Manager whose employment has terminated, the remainder shall be re-allocated pro rata among the other Principal Investor Groups (unless the Principal Investor Groups otherwise agree); provided, that the participating Principal Investor Groups shall deliver an Option Notice stating that the relevant Principal Investor Groups have elected to exercise such right and the number of Shares with respect to which the right is being exercised; provided, further, that each participating Principal Investor Group will pay for its portion of such remaining Shares in cash at a closing as the parties may mutually determine and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.6.

6.8 Pro Rata Across Classes. Any put or call right exercised pursuant to this Article VI may be exercised for all or a portion of such Manager’s Covered Management Shares; provided that any put or call for less than all of such Shares must be exercised for a number of shares of each class included in such Manager’s Covered Management Shares in proportion to the number of shares of each class then comprising such Manager’s Covered Management Shares.

6.9 Period. This Article VI shall terminate with respect to any Share on the closing of an Initial Public Offering.

Any Additional Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the holders of Shares entitled to vote on the election of directors holding a majority of such issued and outstanding Shares.

The parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of any breach of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedies which may be available, each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of the obligations of the other parties hereto and, in addition, to such other equitable remedies (including preliminary or temporary relief) as may be appropriate in the circumstances.

8.2 Deposit. Without limiting the generality of Section 8.1, if any Stockholder fails to (a) deliver to the purchaser thereof the certificate or certificates evidencing Shares to be Sold pursuant to Article IV or Article VI or (b) deliver to the Company or Lowerco, as the case may be, an affidavit of the registered owner of such Shares with respect to the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the certificate evidencing such Shares accompanied by an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company or Lowerco, as the case may be (it being understood that if the holder is a Qualified Institutional Investor, any other holder of Shares which is an entity regularly engaged in the business of investing in companies and meeting such requirements of creditworthiness as may reasonably be imposed by the Company or Lowerco, as the case may be, or an executive officer of the Company, such Person’s own agreement will be satisfactory) such that the Company or Lowerco, as the case may be, is willing to issue a new certificate to the purchaser evidencing the Shares being Sold (an “Affidavit and Indemnity”), then such purchaser may, provided it signs an agreement agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Section 8.2 if it is not otherwise already agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement generally, at its option and in addition to all other remedies it may have, deposit the purchase price for such Shares with any national bank or trust company having combined capital, surplus and undivided profits in excess of One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) (the “Escrow Agent”) and the Company or Lowerco, as the case may be, shall cancel on its books the certificate or certificates representing such Shares and thereupon all of such holder’s rights in and to such Shares (other than the right to receive the applicable purchase price in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.2) shall terminate. Thereafter, upon delivery to such purchaser by such holder of the certificate or certificates evidencing such Shares (duly endorsed, or with stock powers duly endorsed, for transfer, with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, and with any transfer tax stamps affixed) or upon delivery by such holder of an Affidavit and Indemnity to the Company or Lowerco, as the case may be, such purchaser shall instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver the purchase price for such Shares (without any interest from the date of the closing to the date of such delivery, any such interest to accrue to such purchaser), less the reasonable fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent, to such holder. Each Stockholder hereby constitutes and appoints each Principal Investor, or any of them, with full power of substitution, as such Stockholder’s true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, in such Stockholder’s name, place and stead, to execute and deliver any escrow agreement in customary form entered into with respect to such Stockholder in accordance with this Section 8.2, and such Principal Investor shall provide a

 

19


copy of such agreement to such Stockholder within five business days of execution, provided, however, that failure to deliver such documents within such time period shall not impair or affect the validity of such agreements.

SUCH AGREEMENT INCLUDES RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS ON THE TRANSFER OF THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE INSPECTED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER OR OBTAINED FROM THE ISSUER WITHOUT CHARGE UPON REQUEST.”

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED IN A PRIVATE PLACEMENT, WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED (A) IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT COVERING THE TRANSFER OR (B) IN A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE ACT, PROVIDED THAT THE ISSUER MAY REQUIRE THE TRANSFEROR TO DELIVER AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH AN EXEMPTION.”

9.3 Stop Transfer Instruction. The Company or Lowerco will instruct any transfer agent not to register the Transfer of any Shares until the conditions specified in the foregoing legends and this Agreement are satisfied.

9.4 Termination of 1933 Act Legend.

Whenever (x) such requirement shall cease and terminate as to any Shares or (y) such Shares shall be transferable under Rule 144, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company or Lowerco, as the case may be, without expense, new certificates not bearing the legend set forth in Section 9.2 hereof.

20


10.2 Written Modifications. Except as provided in clauses (a) through (c) below, this Agreement may be amended, modified, extended or terminated, and the provisions hereof may be waived, only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Majority Principal Investors (or Stockholders holding a majority of the shares of Class A Stock held by Stockholders party hereto if there are no Principal Investors remaining).

(a) The consent of the Requisite Principal Investors (if there are any Principal Investors remaining) shall be required for any amendment, modification, extension, termination or waiver (an “Amendment”) of any provision hereof which requires the approval of the Requisite Principal Investors.

(b) The consent of the Management Representative shall be required for (i) any Amendment (other than a Specified Amendment) that, in any material respect, discriminates against or could reasonably be expected to have a disproportionate adverse effect on the rights of holders of Management Shares under this Agreement or (ii) any Amendment to this sentence. By signing this Agreement, each Manager irrevocably authorizes and appoints the Management Representative as his or her sole and exclusive agent, attorney-in-fact and representative for the approval of Amendments described in the first sentence of this Section 10.2(b). The consent of a Majority in Interest of the Management Shares held by Managers then employed by the Company shall be required for any Specified Amendment that, in any material respect, adversely affects the rights of holders of Management Shares under this Agreement, provided that if such Specified Amendment is being adopted in contemplation of, or in connection with, the proposed sale of one of the Businesses, the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Management Shares held by Managers then employed by such Business shall be required.

(c) The consent of a Majority in Interest of the Other Investor Shares shall be required for any Amendment that, by its terms, materially and adversely discriminates against the rights or obligations of the holders of Other Investor Shares as such under this Agreement (provided, that it is understood and agreed that, for the purposes of interpreting and enforcing this amendment and waiver provision, Amendments that affect all Stockholders will not be deemed to “materially and adversely discriminate against” the holders of Other Investor Shares as such simply because holders of Other Investor Shares (i) own or hold more or less Shares than any other Stockholders, (ii) invested more or less money in the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries than any other Stockholders or (iii) have greater or lesser voting rights or powers than any other Stockholders).

A copy of each such Amendment shall be sent to each Stockholder and shall be binding upon each party hereto and each holder of Shares subject hereto except to the extent otherwise required by law; provided that the failure to deliver a copy of such Amendment shall not impair or affect the validity of such Amendment. In addition, each party hereto and each holder of Shares subject hereto may waive any right hereunder by an instrument in writing signed by such party or holder. To the extent the Amendment of any Section of this Agreement would require a specific consent pursuant to this Section 10.2, any Amendment to the definitions used in such Section as applied to such Section shall also require the specified consent.

10.3 Withdrawal from Agreement. If the Company consummates a Qualified Public Offering, then on and after the first date on which the holders of Shares immediately prior to the Qualified Public Offering own less than 50% of the then outstanding Common Stock, any holder of Shares that, together with its Applicable Affiliates, holds less than one percent (1%) of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock may elect (on behalf of itself and all of its Affiliates that hold Shares), by written notice to the Company and the Principal Investor Groups, to (a) withdraw all Shares held by such holder and all of its Affiliates from this Agreement (shares withdrawn pursuant to this clause (a), the “Withdrawn Shares”) and (b) terminate this Agreement with respect to such holder and its Affiliates (holders and Affiliates withdrawing pursuant to this clause (b), the “Withdrawing Holders”). From the date of delivery of such withdrawal notice, the Withdrawn Shares shall cease to be Shares subject to this Agreement and, if applicable, the Withdrawing Holders shall cease to be parties to this Agreement and shall no longer be subject to the obligations of this Agreement or have rights under this Agreement; provided, however, that such Withdrawing Holders, if they are members of a Principal Investor Group, shall cause the removal or resignation of any directors designated by such Principal Investor Group; provided, further, that the Withdrawing Holders shall nonetheless be obligated under Article V with respect to any Pending Underwritten Offering to the same extent that they would have been obligated if they had not withdrawn; provided, further, that if the Withdrawing Holders hold shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock, Class A-3 Common Stock, Class A-4 Common Stock, Class A-5 Common Stock, Class A-6 Common Stock or Class A-7 Common Stock, they shall be deemed to have elected to convert all such Shares into Class A-8 Common Stock at the effective time of such withdrawal.

10.4 Effect of Termination. No termination under this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.3) shall relieve any Person of liability for breach prior to termination.
