If any Violation would result from the purchase of any Shares, Rights, Other Rights or other securities of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company, in its sole discretion, may determine priorities among members of the Purchaser’s Group and the other persons having the right or obligation to sell Shares, Rights, Other Rights or other securities of the Company, as the case may be, taking into account contractual obligations and relative hardship and such other factors as it deems relevant, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, may purchase from any such member or person less than all the Shares, Rights, Other Rights or other securities of the Company which such member or person has elected or is obligated to sell to the Company or the Company is obligated to purchase.

(c) Any Shares or Rights which the Company is obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 2.1(d), 4 or 5, but which in accordance with Section 6.1 (a) or Section 6.2 hereof are not purchased at the applicable time provided in Section 2.1(d), 4 or 5 hereof, shall be purchased by the Company on the tenth day after such date or dates that the Company learns that (after taking into account any purchases of Shares, Rights, other Rights or other securities of the Company, to be made at such time pursuant to the Other Purchasers’ Agreements or otherwise) it is no longer permitted to defer purchasing such securities under Section 6.1 (a) hereof at the relevant purchase price set forth in Section 2.1(d), 4 or 5 hereof, and the Company shall give the Purchaser seven days prior notice of any such purchase.

6.2 Payment for Common Stock or Rights. The purchase price of Shares or Rights purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 4 or 5 hereof will be paid (i) first by the cancellation of indebtedness owing from the Purchaser or his Permitted Transferees to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and interest accrued but unpaid thereon (so long as such indebtedness is evidenced by a writing signed by the Purchaser or his Permitted

Transferees) and (ii) then, to the extent such payment would not result in a Violation, by the Company’s delivery of a bank cashier’s check or certified check for the remainder of the purchase price, if any. The Company shall have the right set forth in the preceding clause (i) whether or not the member of the Purchaser’s Group selling such Shares or Rights is an obligor under any of the indebtedness referred to therein.

7. Tag-Alone Rights.

7.1 Tag-Along Rights. After the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, subject to Section 7.2, the Sponsor agrees that the Purchaser shall be afforded the opportunity to participate in sales by the Sponsor to a Third Party of all or substantially all of the shares of Common Stock of the Company then held by the Sponsor and its affiliates (any such sale, a “Tag-Along Transfer”). As soon as practicable after the time any Tag-Along Transfer is proposed, but in any event at least 20 days prior to the Transfer Date (as defined below), the Sponsor shall give written notice thereof to the Purchaser identifying the proposed purchaser and stating the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold, the proposed offering price, the proposed date of such Tag-Along Transfer (the “Transfer Date”) and any written material terms or conditions of the proposed Tag-Along Transfer. If the Purchaser desires to participate in the Tag-Along Transfer, the Purchaser shall give written notice (the “Tag-Along Notice”) to the Sponsor not less than 10 days prior to the Transfer Date setting forth the number of Shares that the Purchaser desires to include in the Tag-Along Transfer. Failure to give the Tag-Along Notice at least 10 days prior to the Transfer Date shall constitute an irrevocable election by the Purchaser not to participate in the Tag-Along Transfer. The total number of shares of Common Stock which the Sponsor is to include in the Tag-Along Transfer (the “Allotment”) shall be apportioned among the Sponsor, the Purchaser if he gives the Tag-Along Notice at least 10 days prior to the Transfer Date, Other Purchasers giving Tag-Along Notices during such 10-day period pursuant to Other Purchasers’ Agreements and any other persons entitled to give (and giving on a timely basis) Tag-Along Notices pursuant to agreements substantially similar to this Agreement (collectively, the “Participants”) in accordance with the number of issued and outstanding Shares of Common Stock each Participant holds at such time (without regard to any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options, warrants, Rights or other rights of any kind); provided that in no event will the Sponsor’s portion of the Allotment be less than the number of shares of Common Stock constituting the Allotment less the number of issued and outstanding shares which the Participants (other than the Sponsor) have included in their Tag-Along Notices (without regard to any shares issuable upon exercise of options, warrants, Rights or other rights of any kind).

7.2 No Rights Following Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall have no rights under Section 7.1 following the termination of the Purchaser’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any reason including (without limitation) death, Disability or Retirement.

7.3 No Sponsor Liability. Neither the Sponsor nor any of its affiliates shall have any personal liability to the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s Permitted Transferees or the

Company or any of its subsidiaries under any provision of this Agreement, including (without limitation) Section 7.1.

7.4 Termination of Tag-Along Rights. In addition to the provisions of Section 7.2, the provisions of Section 7.1 shall not be applicable if (x) the Common Stock becomes publicly traded and there exists a Minimum Public Float, (y) the Purchaser ceases to own Shares or Rights or (z) the sale by the Sponsor involves less than all or substantially all of the Common Stock owned by the Sponsor at the time of sale.

8. Miscellaneous.

8.1 State Securities Laws. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all state securities or “blue sky” laws which might be applicable to the sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

8.2 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however. that the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s Permitted Transferees shall not assign any rights hereunder except as specifically permitted by the terms of this Agreement. The Company may assign its rights under the put contained in Section 5.1 or the call contained in Section 5.2 to any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or to the principal beneficial owners of the Company or any of their Permitted Transferees or affiliates, provided that no such assignment shall release the Company from its obligations thereunder. Neither this Agreement nor any purchase or sale of Securities pursuant hereto shall create, or be construed or deemed to create, any right to employment or continued employment in favor of the Purchaser or any other person by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

8.3 Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of one or more of the provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement, including any such provision, in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8.4 Recapitalizations. Exchanges. Etc. Affecting Common Stock. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein with respect to the Rights and the Shares, to any and all shares of capital stock of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of the Rights and the Shares, by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, stock issuance, reverse stock split, combination, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, conversion or otherwise. Upon the occurrence of any of such events, amounts hereunder shall be appropriately adjusted.

8.13 Rights Cumulative: Waiver.

The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach and no failure by any party to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of such party’s other rights or privileges hereunder.
