3.1.2. Distributions and Charitable Contributions. At or after the closing of the Initial Public Offering, any holder of Shares may Transfer any or all of such Shares (a) in a pro rata Transfer to its partners, members or stockholders or (b) to a Charitable

Any holder of Shares may Transfer any or all of such Shares: (a) in a Public Offering or (b) after the closing of the Initial Public Offering, pursuant to Rule 144 or a block sale to a financial institution in the ordinary course of its trading business, in each case in compliance with Section 3.3 and Section 3.4, but without regard to any other restrictions on transfer contained elsewhere in this Agreement (other than the provisions of Section 6.3.4, if applicable).

After the Initial Public Offering, each Specified Holder promptly shall notify each Related Stockholder (i) when it has commenced a measurement period for purposes of the Rule 144 group volume limit in connection with a Sale that is subject to such limit and (ii) what the volume limit for that measurement period, determined as of its commencement, will be. Each Related Stockholder shall be entitled to effect Sales that are subject to the Rule 144 group volume limit pro rata 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 Related Stockholder agrees to forego its full pro rata share of the Rule 144 group volume limit by written notice to the Specified Holder and all other Related Stockholders, the remainder shall be re-allocated pro rata among Specified Holder and all other Related Stockholders in like manner (except that the Shares held by such forfeiting Related Holder at the start of such measurement period shall be excluded from such calculation). The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall not apply to any Transfer of Shares (i) in a Public Offering or (ii) not subject to volume limitation under Rule 144.

3.4. 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 or 3.1.5 of this Agreement to a Strategic Investor without the approval of a majority of the entire Board and the approval of the Requisite Stockholder Majority. If any Prospective Selling Stockholder proposes to Transfer any Shares pursuant to Sections 3.1.1, 3.1.3 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 4.4, in each case so long as such notice

includes all of the information required by the next sentence) to the Company and each other holder of Shares at least ten business days prior to such proposed Transfer. Such notice shall set forth the principal terms of the proposed Transfer, including (i) the number and class of the Shares to be Transferred, (ii) the per share purchase price or the formula by which such price is to be determined and (iii) the name and address of the Prospective Buyer. If the Prospective Buyer (or an Affiliate thereof) has previously been determined by a majority of the entire Board and the Requisite Stockholder Majority to be a Strategic Investor, or is presumed to be a Strategic Investor pursuant to the definition thereof, and such determination or presumption 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 a majority of the entire Board and of the Requisite Stockholder Majority. If the Prospective Buyer (or an Affiliate thereof) has not previously been determined by a majority of the entire Board and the Requisite Stockholder Majority to be a Strategic Investor, or is not presumed to be a Strategic Investor pursuant to the definition thereof, the Prospective Selling Stockholder may Transfer Shares to such Prospective Buyer unless, within eight business days after the date of delivery of the notice required by the second preceding sentence, the majority of the entire Board and the Requisite Stockholder Majority deliver written notice to the Prospective Selling Stockholder and all other Stockholders 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, than the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall not Transfer any Shares to such Prospective Buyer. 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 3.4 shall not apply, to any Transfers (i) to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) to any Stockholder, (iii) to any Affiliated Fund of any Stockholder, (iv) by any Seller to Time Warner Inc. or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, (v) pursuant to Rule 144 effected as “brokers’ transactions” (as defined in Rule 144); or (vi) pursuant to an underwritten Public Offering or, following the Initial 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 of this clause (vi) in which, to the knowledge of the Prospective Selling Stockholder (after reasonable due inquiry), the underwriter(s), market maker(s) or block sale purchaser(s) do not intend to resell such Shares to any Person that, after giving effect to such resale, would own, directly or indirectly, more than five percent (5%) of then outstanding shares of the applicable class of Shares.

3.5. Impermissible Transfer. Any attempted Transfer of Shares not permitted under the terms of this Section 3 shall be null and void, and neither the Company nor Midco 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, such Stockholder or Permitted Transferee shall, within three business days following consummation of such Transfer, deliver notice thereof to the Company and each other Stockholder.

3.7. Period. Each of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 shall expire upon a Change of Control.

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

4.1. Tag Along. Subject to prior compliance with Section 4.4, if applicable, if any Prospective Selling Stockholder proposes to Sell any Shares to any Prospective Buyer(s) (including a First Offer Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.4) in a Transfer pursuant to Section 3.1.5, other than a Transfer by a holder pursuant to the exercise of such holder’s rights under this Section 4.1:

4.1.1. Notice. The Prospective Selling Stockholder shall, prior to any such proposed Transfer, furnish a written notice (the “Tag Along Notice”) to each of the other holders of Shares (each, a “Tag Along Holder”) and to each holder of Seller Warrants (who shall also be a “Tag Along Holder” if and to the extent such holder exercises or conditionally exercises such holder’s Seller Warrants on or prior to the Tag-Along Deadline). The Tag Along Notice shall include:

(a) the principal terms and conditions of the proposed Sale, including (i) the number and class of the 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 Shares of each such class held by the Prospective Selling Stockholder (the “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) 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(s) 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 Shares of the applicable class held by such Tag Along Holder, assuming the exercise in full of all Seller Warrants exercised or conditionally exercised prior to the Tag-Along Deadline), on the same terms and conditions (subject to Section 4.3.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities), with respect to each Share Sold, as the Prospective Selling Stockholder shall Sell each of its Shares.

4.1.2. Exercise. Within five (ten if the proposed Transfer is not also the subject of a currently effective Sale Notice under Section 4.4) business days after the date of delivery of the Tag Along Notice (such date the “Tag-Along Deadline”), each Tag Along Holder desiring to make an offer to include Shares 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 Shares which such Participating Seller desires to have included in the proposed Sale (subject to the

limitation set forth in Section 4.1.1(b)). Each Tag Along Holder who does not make a Tag Along Offer in compliance with the above requirements, including the time period, shall 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. Exercise by Holders of Warrants. The holders of Seller Warrants shall have the right to exercise the Seller Warrants and participate as Tag Along Holders on the same terms and conditions as all other Tag Along Holders and shall have the right to make the effectiveness of such exercise conditional upon the consummation of the proposed sale to the Prospective Buyer.

4.1.4. 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 4.3.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities), as the Prospective Selling Stockholder, up to such number of Shares as such Participating Seller shall have specified in such holder’s Tag Along Offer; provided, however, that if the principal terms of the proposed Sale 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, each Participating Seller shall be permitted to withdraw the offer contained in such holder’s Tag Along Offer by written notice to the Prospective Selling Stockholder and upon such withdrawal shall be released from such holder’s obligations thereunder.

4.1.5. Reduction of Shares Sold. The Prospective Selling Stockholder shall attempt to obtain the inclusion in the proposed Sale of the entire number of 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 Shares in the proposed Sale, the number of Shares to be sold in the proposed Sale shall be allocated among the Tag Along Sellers in proportion, as nearly as practicable, as follows:

(i) there shall be first allocated to each Tag Along Seller a number of Shares equal to the lesser of (A) the number of 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 (B) a number of Shares equal to such Tag Along Seller’s Pro Rata Portion; and

(ii) the balance, if any, not allocated pursuant to clause (i) above shall be allocated to the Prospective Selling Stockholder, or in such other manner as the Prospective Selling Stockholder may otherwise agree.

4.1.6. 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 Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 shall be three business days and two business days, respectively. In addition, if the Prospective Selling Stockholders have not completed the proposed Sale by the end of the 180^th day after the date of delivery of: (i) if the proposed Transfer is also the subject of a currently effective Sale Notice under Section 4.4, such Sale Notice and (ii) otherwise, the Tag Along Notice, 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 from any failure by any Participating Seller to comply with the terms of this Section 4.

4.2. Drag Along. Each holder of Shares hereby agrees, if requested by the Requisite Stockholder Majority, to Sell the same percentage (the “Drag Along Sale Percentage”) of each class of such Shares that is proposed to be sold by the Prospective Selling Stockholders to a Prospective Buyer in a Change of Control transaction that has received the requisite approval under Section 2.4, in the manner and on the terms set forth in this Section 4.2; provided, however, that no such Prospective Buyer shall be a member of a Principal Investor Group forming part of the acting Requisite Stockholder Majority, any Affiliate of any such member or any Person more than five percent (5%) of the economic interests in or voting power of which are directly or indirectly beneficially owned by any such member, unless such proposed Sale is approved by vote or written consent of each of the Investor Groups, each voting separately.

4.2.1. Exercise. The Prospective Selling Stockholders shall furnish a written notice (the “Drag Along Notice”) to each other holder of Shares at least ten business days prior to the consummation of the Change of Control transaction. The Drag Along Notice shall set forth the principal terms and conditions of the proposed Sale, including (i) the number and class of Shares to be acquired from the Prospective Selling Stockholders, (ii) the Drag Along Sale Percentage for each class, (iii) the per share consideration to be received in the proposed Sale for each class, (iv) the name and address of the Prospective Buyer and (v) if known, the proposed Transfer date. If the Prospective Selling Stockholders consummate the proposed Sale to which reference is made in the Drag Along Notice, each other holder of Shares (each a “Participating Seller”, and, together

with the Prospective Selling Stockholders, collectively, the “Drag Along Sellers”) shall: (i) be bound and obligated to Sell the Drag Along Sale Percentage of such holder’s Shares of each class in the proposed Sale on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each Share Sold (subject to Section 4.3.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities) as the Prospective Selling Stockholders shall Sell each Share in the Sale (subject to Section 4.3.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities); and (ii) except as provided in Section 4.3.1, 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). Except as provided in Section 4.3.1, if any holders of Shares of any class are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all holders of Shares of such class will be given the same option. Unless otherwise agreed by the Drag Along Sellers, 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 180^th day after the date of delivery of the Drag Along Notice the Prospective Selling Stockholders have not completed the proposed Sale, the Drag Along Notice shall be null and void, each Participating Seller shall be released from such holder’s obligation under the Drag Along Notice and it shall be necessary for a separate Drag Along 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.

4.3. Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall be applied to any proposed Sale to which Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4 applies:

4.3.1. 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 right to Sell Shares in such proposed Sale. In such event, the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) shall (i) in the case of a Sale pursuant to Section 4.1, have the right, but not the obligation, and (ii) in the case of a Sale pursuant to 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 4.3.6 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.

4.3.2. Further Assurances. Each Participating Seller and First Offer Purchaser, whether in such holder’s capacity as a Participating Seller, First Offer Purchaser,

stockholder, officer or director of the Company (subject to such officer’s or director’s fiduciary duty), or otherwise, 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 4.4 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 (on a pro rata basis) as the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s), 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 (i) 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 (ii) the proceeds to such Participating Seller in connection with such Sale.

4.3.3. Sale Process. The Requisite Stockholder Majority, 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 and 4.4, 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 Section 4.

4.3.4. Treatment of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities. Each Participating Seller agrees that to the extent such Participating Seller desires to include Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities in any Sale of Shares pursuant to Section 4, such Participating Seller shall be deemed to have exercised, converted or exchanged such Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities immediately prior to the closing of such Sale

to the extent necessary to Sell Stock to the Prospective Buyer, except to the extent permitted under the terms of any such Option, Warrant or Convertible Security and agreed by the Prospective Buyer. If any Participating Seller shall Sell Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities in any Sale pursuant to Section 4, 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.

4.3.5. Expenses. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) or the Company in connection with any proposed Sale pursuant to Section 4.2 (whether or not consummated), and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Prospective Selling Stockholder(s) or the Company in order to comply with the requirements of this Section 4 in connection with any proposed Sale pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.4 (whether or not consummated), including all attorneys 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. The reasonable fees and expenses of a single legal counsel representing any or all of the Participating Sellers in connection with any proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4 (whether or not consummated) shall be paid by the Company. Any other costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of any or all of the Participating Sellers in connection with any proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4 (whether or not consummated) shall be borne by such Participating Seller(s).

4.3.6. Closing. The closing of a Sale to which Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4 applies shall take place (i) on the proposed Transfer date, if any, specified in the Tag Along Notice, Drag Along 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), (ii) if no proposed Transfer date was required to be specified in the Drag Along Notice, at such time as the Prospective Selling Stockholders shall specify by notice to each Participating Seller and (iii) at such place as the Prospective Selling Stockholders) shall specify by notice to each Participating Seller, and in any event subject to Section 2.4 in the case of a Sale to which Section 4.2 applies. 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.

4.4. Right of First Offer. If any Prospective Selling Stockholder proposes to Sell any Shares in a Transfer (including to another Stockholder or the Company or any of its subsidiaries)

described in Section 3.1.5, other than a Transfer by a holder pursuant to the exercise of such holder’s rights under Section 4.1:

4.4.1. Notice. The Prospective Selling Stockholder shall furnish a written notice of such proposed Sale (a “Sale Notice”) to each other holder of Acquisition Shares (each, 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 purchase price or the formula by which such price is to be determined and (iii) the proposed Transfer date; and

(b) an invitation to each First Offer Holder to make an offer to purchase (subject to Section 4.4.6 below) any number of the Subject Shares at such price.

4.4.2. Exercise.

4.4.2.1. 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”).

4.4.2.2. Each Person 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 Person’s rights to purchase such Shares under this Section 4.4.2 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 Person pursuant to this Section 4.4.

4.4.3. Irrevocable Offer. The offer of each First Offer Purchaser contained in a First Offer Notice shall be irrevocable, and, subject to Section 4.4.6 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.

4.4.4. Acceptance of Offers. Within five 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 4.3.3 to determine whether or not to consummate any Sale.

4.4.5. Additional Compliance. If at the end of the 180^th 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 4.4), 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 4.4 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 class(es) 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 Section 4.4.1 and 4.4.2.1 shall be three business days and two business days, respectively.

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

4.4.6.1. In the event that the number of Shares offered to be purchased by the First Offer Purchasers is less than the number of Subject Shares, 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. Such sales, if any, to Prospective Buyer(s) other than the First Offer Purchasers may be consummated together with the sale to the First Offer Purchasers or otherwise.

4.4.6.2. In the event that a single Prospective Buyer or group of Prospective Buyers is unwilling to purchase less than all of the Subject Shares and the number of Shares offered to be purchased by the First Offer Purchasers is less than the number of 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 the Subject Shares to the First Offer Purchasers.

4.4.6.3. 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 (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.

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 4.4, 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 4.4 and shall be allocated among the First Offer Purchasers in accordance with this Section 4.4.6.

4.5. Period. The provisions of Section 4.4 shall expire as to any Share on the earlier of (a) a Change of Control or (b) the expiration of the Lock-Up Period in respect of such Share. Each of the other provisions of this Section 4 above shall expire on a Change of Control.

4.6. Post-Termination Tag Along. In connection with a Change of Control in which any Investor Group immediately prior to such Change of Control continues to hold Shares or receives securities of another Person or Persons in consideration thereof, which Shares or securities are of a class that is not publicly traded, if any such Investor Group or member thereof receives “tag along” rights in respect of its Shares or such securities in connection with such Change of Control (whether such “tag along” rights are in respect of another Investor Group or any other holder of Shares or such securities), each other holder of Acquisition Shares shall receive pari passu “tag along” rights on a pro rata basis.

5. RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION. Subject to Section 5.3, 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 5.1 or Section 5.2.

5.1. Right of Participation.

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

(a) the principal terms and conditions of the proposed Issuance, including (i) the amount and kind of 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 number of Equivalent Shares of the Company outstanding as of immediately prior to giving effect to such Issuance which the number of Equivalent Shares of the Company held by such Participation Offeree constitutes (the “Participation Portion”), (iv) the maximum and minimum price (including if applicable, the maximum and minimum Price Per Equivalent Share) per unit of the Subject Securities, including a description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit valuation thereof, (v) the proposed manner of disposition, (vi) the name and address of the Person to whom the Subject Securities will be issued (the “Prospective Subscriber”) and (vii) if known, the proposed Issuance date; and

(b) an offer by the Issuer to issue, at the option of each Participation Offeree, to such Participation Offeree such portion of the Subject Securities to be included in the Issuance as may be requested by such Participation Offeree (not to exceed the Participation Portion of the total amount of Subject Securities to be included in the Issuance), on the same economic terms and conditions, with respect to each unit of Subject Securities issued to the Participation Offerees, as each of the Prospective Subscribers shall be issued units of Subject Securities.

5.1.2. Exercise.

5.1.2.1. General. 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 eight 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 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 holder’s rights with respect to 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 substantially more favorable to the Prospective Subscriber than those set forth in the Participation Notice, without any further obligation to such non-accepting

Participation Offerees pursuant to Section 5. 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 5.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Issuance pursuant to this Section 5.1; provided, however, that in such case of a separate Participation Notice, the applicable period to which reference is made in Section 5.1.1 and in the first sentence of Section 5.1.2.1 shall be three business days and two business days respectively.

5.1.2.2. Irrevocable Acceptance. The acceptance of each Participating Buyer shall be irrevocable except as hereinafter provided, and each such Participating Buyer shall be bound and obligated to acquire in the Issuance on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each unit of Subject Securities issued, as the Prospective Subscriber, such amount of Subject Securities as such Participating Buyer shall have specified in such Participating Buyer’s written commitment.

5.1.2.3. Time Limitation. If at the end of the 180^th day after the date of the effectiveness of the Participation Notice the Issuer has not completed the Issuance, each Participating Buyer shall be released from such holder’s obligations under the written commitment, the Participation Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 5.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Issuance pursuant to this Section 5.1; provided, however, that in such case of a separate Participation Notice, the applicable period to which reference is made in Section 5.1.1 and in the first sentence of Section 5.1.2.1 shall be three business days and two business days, respectively.

5.1.3. 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) other than Subject Securities (“Other Securities”) in the event that the participation of the Prospective Subscriber in such Issuance is so conditioned. 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 proportion of Other Securities to Subject Securities being acquired by the Prospective Subscriber in the Issuance, on the same terms and conditions, as to each unit of Subject Securities and Other Securities issued to the Participating Buyers, as the Prospective Subscriber shall be issued units of Subject Securities and Other Securities.

5.1.4. Certain Legal Requirements. In the event that the participation in the Issuance by a holder of Shares as a Participating Buyer would require under applicable

law (i) 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 (ii) the provision to any participant in the Sale of any specified information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the securities that is not otherwise required to be provided for the Issuance, such holder of Shares 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.

5.1.5. Further Assurances. Each Participation Offeree and each Stockholder to whom the Shares held by such Participation Offeree were originally issued, shall, whether in such holder’s capacity as a Participating Buyer, Stockholder, officer or director of the Company, or otherwise, 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 5.1 and any related transactions, 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 cooperating with the Issuer and the Prospective Subscriber. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Participating Buyer and Stockholder agrees to execute and deliver such subscription and other agreements specified by the Issuer to which the Prospective Subscriber will be party.

5.1.6. 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. The reasonable fees and charges of a single legal counsel representing any or all of the holders of Shares in connection with such proposed Issuance of Subject Securities (whether or not consummated) shall be paid by the Company or the Issuer. Any other costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of any holder of Shares in connection with such proposed Issuance of Subject Securities (whether or not consummated) shall be borne by such holder.

5.1.7. Closing. The closing of an Issuance pursuant to Section 5.1 shall take place on (i) the proposed date of Issuance, if any, set forth in the Participation 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), (ii) if no proposed Transfer date was required to be specified in the Participation Notice, at such time as the Issuer shall specify by notice to each Participating Buyer and (iii) at such place as the Issuer shall specify by notice to each Participating Buyer. At the closing of any Issuance under this Section 5.1.7, 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.

5.2. Post-Issuance Notice. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 5.1, the Issuer may proceed with any Issuance prior to having complied with the provisions of Section 5.1; 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 5.1.1 in which the actual price per unit of Subject Securities (and, if applicable, actual Price Per Equivalent Share) shall be set forth;

(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 (not to exceed the Participation Portion that such holder would have been entitled to pursuant to Section 5.1 multiplied by the number of Subject Securities included in the 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 ten 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 5.1 multiplied by the number of Subject Securities included in such issuance).

5.3. Excluded Transactions.

5.3.1. The provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply to Issuances by the Company as follows:

5.4. Certain Provisions Applicable to Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities. In the event that the Issuance of Subject Securities shall result in any increase in the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities, the number of shares (or Equivalent Shares, if applicable) of Subject Securities (and Other Securities, if applicable) which the holders, of such Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall be entitled to purchase pursuant to Section 5.1, if any, shall be reduced, share for share, by the amount of any such increase.

5.5. Acquired Shares. Any Subject Securities constituting Stock acquired by any holder of Shares pursuant to this Section 5 shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be Shares hereunder.

5.6. Period. Each of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 shall expire on the earlier of (a) a Change of Control or (b) the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

6. 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.

6.1. Demand Registration Rights for Investor Registrable Securities.

6.1.1. General. One or more members of an Investor Group or the Seller (the “Initiating Investors”), by notice to the Company specifying the intended method or methods of disposition, may request that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act for a Public Offering of all or a specified part of the Registrable Securities

held by such Initiating Investors; provided, however, that the value of Registrable Securities that the Initiating Investors propose to sell in such Public Offering is at least twenty million dollars ($20,000,000); and provided, further, that the Initial Public Offering may not be initiated pursuant to this Section 6.1 without the approval of a majority of the entire Board and the approval of the Requisite Stockholder Majority. The Company will then use its best efforts to (i) effect the registration under the Securities Act (including by means of a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act if so requested and if the Company is then eligible to use such registration) 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 6.2 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 Principal Participating Holders) of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register, and (ii) if requested by the Principal Participating Holders, 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 6.1.1:

(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 for its own account (other than a Rule 145 Transaction, or a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans);

(b) upon the request of any member of an Investor Group on any form other than Form S-3 (or any successor form) if the Company has previously effected a number of registrations of Registrable Securities under this Section 6.1.1 upon the request of the members of such Investor Group on any form other than Form S-3 (or any successor form) equaling or exceeding five (5), two (2), one (1) and one (1) with respect to the THL Investors, the Bain Investors, the Providence Investors and the Lexa Investors, respectively; provided, however, that any registration of Registrable Securities (i) which does not become and remain effective for at least 270 days in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6 or (ii) pursuant to which the Initiating Investors and all other holders of Registrable Securities joining therein are not able to include at least 90% of the Registrable Securities which they desired to include, shall not be included in the calculation of the numbers of registrations contemplated by this clause (b); or

6.1.2. Form. Except as otherwise provided above, each registration requested pursuant to Section 6.1.1 shall be effected by the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 (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), unless the use of a different form has been agreed to in writing by the Principal Participating Holders; provided that if any registration requested pursuant to this Section 6.1 is proposed to be effected on Form S-3 (or any successor or similar short-form 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 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.

6.1.3. Payment of Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6.1, 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 6.1.

6.1.4. Additional Procedures. In the case of a registration pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, whenever the Principal Participating Holders shall request 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 6.2. In such event, the right of any Holder to have securities owned by such Holder included in such registration pursuant to Section 6.1 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 Principal Participating Holders and such Holder). If requested by the Principal Participating Holders, 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).

6.1.5. 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 6.1 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) (i) would be required to be made in any registration statement so that such registration statement would not be materially misleading, (ii) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing, effectiveness or continued use of such registration statement and (iii) 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 (i) more than two times during any 12 month period, (ii) for a period exceeding 30 days on any one occasion or (iii) for a period exceeding 60 days in any 12 month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights 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 6.1.5. The Company agrees that, in the event it exercises its rights under this Section 6.1.5, it shall, within 30 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.

6.2. Piggyback Registration Rights.

6.2.1. Piggyback Registration.

6.2.1.1. 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 6.1 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 20 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 reasonable 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 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 Company 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. No registration of Registrable Securities effected under this Section 6.2 shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations to effect registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof.

6.2.1.2. Excluded Transactions. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 6.2 incidental to the registration of any of its securities in connection with:

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

(b) 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; or

6.2.2. Payment of Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6.2

6.2.3. Additional Procedures. Holders participating in any Public Offering pursuant to this Section 6.2 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 the underwriting agreement entered into by the Company 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, 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.

6.2.4. Registration Statement Form. The Company shall select the registration statement form for any registration pursuant to this Section 6.2 (other than a registration that is also pursuant to Section 6.1); provided that if any registration requested pursuant to this Section 6.2 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.

6.3. Certain Other Provisions.

6.3.1. 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 Section 6 and subject to the terms of this Section 6.3.1, 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 6.3.1). 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 a different allocation: 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 parties required to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2, 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:

(i) 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 requested to be registered by such holder, and (B) a number of such shares equal to such holder’s Pro Rata Portion;

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

(iii) the balance, if any, not allocated pursuant to clause (ii) 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 to which any of the foregoing shall have contributed Common Stock prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement in connection with such underwritten offering, 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 6.1.1 or 6.2.1.1, the Holder thereof may not thereafter elect to withdraw therefrom without the written consent of the Principal Participating Holders; provided that, if the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall advise the Holders participating in a registration pursuant to Section 6.1 that the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement cannot be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Principal Participating Investors, then the Principal Participating 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.

6.3.2. Registration Procedures. If and in each case when the Company is required to effect a registration of any Registrable Securities as provided in this Section 6, the Company shall promptly:

(i) prepare and, in any event within sixty days (forty-five days in the case of a Form S-3 registration) after the end of the period under Section 6.2.1.1 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;

(ii) 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 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 6.1 or 6.2, the Company will furnish to counsel selected pursuant to Section 6.3.3 hereof copies of all documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel;

(iii) 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;

(iv) 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 (iv), it would not be obligated to be so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(v) 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;

(vi) 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;

(vii) (i) if such Registrable Securities are Common Stock (including Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of another

security), use its best efforts to list such Registrable Securities on any securities exchange or authorize for quotation on each other market (including, if applicable, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) Automated Quotation System) 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 (ii) use its best efforts to 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;

(viii) 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 6.4 hereof, and take such other actions as the Principal Participating Holders or the underwriters, if any, reasonably requested in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(ix) 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 Principal Participating Holders shall reasonably request;

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

(xi) notify counsel (selected pursuant to Section 6.3.3 hereof) for the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, immediately, and confirm the notice in writing (a) 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, (b) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (c) of any request of the Commission to amend the registration statement or amend or supplement the prospectus or for additional information, and (d) 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;

(xii) 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;

(xiii) 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;

(xiv) 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;

(xv) 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;

(xvi) 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 NASD; and

(xvii) use its commercially reasonable 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.

6.3.3. Selection of Underwriters and Counsel. The underwriters and legal counsel to be retained by the Company in connection with any Public Offering shall be selected by the Board; provided that, in the case of an offering following a request therefor under Section 6.1.1, such underwriters and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Principal Participating Holders. In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, the Principal Participating Holders 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, the remaining Holders shall be entitled to select one additional counsel to represent, at such Holders’ expense, all such remaining Holders.

6.3.4. Holder Lock-Up. In connection with each underwritten Public Offering each Holder agrees to become bound by and to execute and deliver such lock-up agreement with the underwriter(s) of such Public Offering restricting such Holder’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, as is entered into by the Principal Participating Holders with the underwriter(s) of such Public Offering (the “Principal Lock-Up Agreement”); provided, however, that no Holder shall be required to enter into a lock-up agreement covering a period of greater than 90 days (180 days in the case of the Initial Public Offering) following the effectiveness of the related registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such lock-up agreement shall not apply to (i) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Initial Public Offering, (ii) Transfers to Permitted Transferees of such Holder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) conversions of shares of Stock into other classes of Stock without change of holder and (iv) during the period preceding the execution of the underwriting agreement, Transfers to a Charitable Organization in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

6.3.5. Company Lock-Up. If any registration pursuant to Section 6.1 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 require) after, the effective date of such registration (except as part of such registration).

6.3.6. 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 6.1 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 (i) rights of registration in the nature or substantially in the nature of those set forth in Section 6.1 of this Agreement that would have priority over the Registrable

Securities with respect to the inclusion of such securities in any registration or (ii) demand registration rights exercisable prior to such time as the Investors can first exercise their rights under Section 6.1.

6.4. Indemnification and Contribution.

6.4.1. 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 Section 6 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 partners, advisory board members, directors, officers, trustees, members 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, 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 (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by 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, (ii) 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 (iii) 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 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 6.4.1 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.

6.4.2. Indemnities to the Company. Subject to Section 6.4.4, the Company and any of its subsidiaries may require, as a condition to including any securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 6, 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 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 with respect to any 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 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.

6.4.3. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 6.4.1 or 6.4.2 hereof is unavailable to a party that would have been entitled to indemnification pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4 (an “Indemnitee”) in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each party that would have been an indemnifying party thereunder shall, subject to Section 6.4.4 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) 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 statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or

proceedings in respect thereof). 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 Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4.3 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) referred to above in this Section 6.4.3 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.

6.4.4. Limitation on Liability of Holders of Registrable Securities. The liability of each holder of Registrable Securities in respect of any indemnification or contribution obligation of such holder arising under this Section 6.4 shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds to 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.

6.4.5. 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 6.4, 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 6.4, 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 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 Principal Participating Holders 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 (i) 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 (ii) 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.

6.5. Permitted Assignees.

6.5.1. Piggyback Registration Rights. The rights of a holder of Registrable Securities to cause the Company to register its Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 6.2 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations as set forth below) in a Transfer effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to: (a) an Affiliate of such holder, (b) a Charitable Organization or (c) any other transferee that in the case of this clause (c) acquires shares of Registrable Securities either (i) for consideration of at least $10,000,000 or (ii) having a then fair market value (determined in good faith by the Board) of at least $10,000,000 (the transferees in clauses (a) through (c) each a “Permitted Piggyback 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 6.5.1 shall be effective unless the Permitted Piggyback Assignee, if not a 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 Piggyback 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 6.5.1 may not again transfer such rights to any Person, other than as provided in this Section 6.5.1.

If a majority of the entire Board and the Requisite Stockholder Majority elect to exercise the rights of the Purchaser Entities (as defined in the Seller MMT Warrant Agreement) under Section 23 of the Seller MMT Warrant Agreement to defease the Seller MMT Warrants, then

7.4.1. the aggregate consideration to be paid in the sale transaction referred to in Section 23 of the Seller MMT Warrant Agreement shall be allocated as if the Seller MMT Warrants had been exercised in full immediately prior to the closing of such sale transaction and the amount of consideration to be allocated in respect of the Seller MMT Warrants will be deposited in an escrow account established in accordance with Section 23 of the Seller MMT Warrant Agreement;

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 holder of Shares fails to deliver to the purchaser thereof the certificate or certificates evidencing Shares to be Sold pursuant to Section 4, such purchaser may, at its option, 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 Midco, 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 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), such purchaser shall instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver the purchase price (without any interest from the date of the closing to the date of such delivery, any such interest to accrue to such purchaser) to such holder.

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

In addition, each party hereto and each holder of Shares, Other Holder Shares or Seller Warrants subject hereto may waive any right hereunder by an instrument in writing signed by such party or holder.
