For the purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Transferees” shall mean holders of Executive Securities by way of a Transfer (i) pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution or (ii) among the Executive’s Family Members; provided that, the restrictions contained in this Section 4(c) will continue to be applicable to the Executive Securities after any such Transfer and any Executive Securities Transferred pursuant to this Section 4 shall be returned to the transferor promptly upon the transferee ceasing to be Family Member of the Executive. The Company hereby undertakes to give effect to any Transfer of Executive Securities which is expressly permitted by, and transferred in accordance with, this Agreement.

(d) Transfer Procedures. Prior to transferring any Executive Securities (other than pursuant to Section 5 (Tag Along Rights), Section 6 (Drag Along Right), Section 9 (Right to Purchase the Executive Securities) or a Public Sale) to any Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Permitted Transferee), the transferring Executive shall cause the prospective transferee to be bound by this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Company a Deed of Adherence (in accordance with Section 4(f) below) and a Power of Attorney; provided that, such prospective transferee may not be required to make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement.

(e) Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Executive Securities in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void and of no effect, and the Company shall not give effect to such Transfer nor record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Executive Securities as the owner of such Executive Securities for any purpose.

(f) Execution of Deed of Adherence. In the event that any Person who is not a holder of Executive Securities on the date hereof and subsequently becomes a holder of Executive Securities through a Transfer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Person shall execute and deliver a Deed of Adherence to the Company prior to such Transfer or issuance. Any Person who has entered into a Deed of Adherence pursuant to this Agreement shall have the benefit of and be subject to the burden of all the provisions of this Agreement as if such Person was an original party hereto in the capacity designed in the Deed of Adherence and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly. Nothing in this provision shall be construed as requiring any party to perform again any obligation or discharge again any liability already performed or discharged or entitle any party to receive again any benefit already enjoyed. The Company undertakes that no Person shall be registered as a holder of Securities unless such Person has executed and delivered to the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of all the other parties to this Agreement, a Deed of Adherence agreeing to be bound by this Agreement.

(g) Termination of Restrictions.

5. Tag Along Rights.

(a) Delivery of Investor Sale Notice. At least thirty (30) days prior to any Transfer or series of related Transfers of Bain Securities to a third party which results in the aggregate number of Securities held by the Bain Investors as at the date hereof being reduced by more than 20% (other than pursuant to (i) a Public Sale, (ii) any Transfer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, or (iv) any Transfer to employees, consultants or advisors (or any entity formed for the benefit of any of the foregoing), under a management incentive plan, each Bain Investor making such Transfer or series of Transfers (the “Transferring Securityholder”) shall deliver a written notice (the “Bain Investor Sale Notice”) to the holders of Executive Securities, specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s), the number and types of securities to be transferred, the price and the other terms and conditions of the Transfer, including copies of any definitive agreements.

(b) Election to Participate. Any holder of Executive Securities may elect to participate (a “Participating Securityholder”) in the contemplated Transfer only with respect to his Vested Securities by delivering written notice to the Transferring Securityholder within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Bain Investor Sale Notice in accordance with Section 19. If any holders of Executive Securities have elected to participate in such Transfer, the Transferring Securityholder and such Participating Securityholders shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer as set out below.

(c) Pro Rata Participation. If any Executive elects to participate in the contemplated Transfer, the Transferring Securityholder and each Participating Securityholder shall be entitled and under an obligation to sell in the contemplated Transfer such number of Bain Securities and Vested Securities, respectively, as is equal to the product of: (i) the quotient determined by dividing the number of Bain Securities or Vested Securities (as applicable) held by such transferring Person by the aggregate number of Securities then issued and outstanding (but excluding all Unvested Securities); and (ii) the total number of Securities to be sold in the contemplated Transfer. The foregoing calculation shall be applied separately with respect to each type of Security. Each Participating Securityholder shall be required, to the extent possible, to transfer all of such Participating Securityholder’s Vested Securities of the same type and in the same proportion as the Bain Securities proposed to be transferred by the Transferring Securityholder pursuant to the Bain Investor Sale Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Executive may elect to participate in such Transfer only with respect to the Executive’s Co-Invest Securities and not the Executive’s Incentive Securities.

(d) Consideration. The consideration per Security for any Transfer by each Participating Securityholder pursuant to this Section 5 shall be equal to the proceeds that the Participating Securityholder would have been entitled to receive in relation his Securities if the aggregate net proceeds received in the Transfer to which this Section 5 applied were to be paid as a liquidating distribution of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Articles.

(e) Prospective Transferees. No Transferring Securityholder shall Transfer any of its Bain Securities to any prospective transferee described in Section 5(a) unless: (i) simultaneously with such Transfer, each such prospective transferee purchases from the

 

15


Participating Securityholders the Vested Securities which the Participating Securityholders are entitled to sell to the prospective transferee pursuant to Sections 5(b) to 5(d) (inclusive) above on terms and conditions no less favourable than those applying to the Transferring Securityholders; or (ii) if such prospective transferee declines to allow the participation of the Participating Securityholders, simultaneously with such transfer, the Transferring Securityholder purchases (on terms and conditions no less favourable that those on which its own Securities are sold to the transferee) the number of Vested Securities from the Participating Securityholder which such Participating Securityholder would have been entitled to sell pursuant to Sections 5(b) to 5(d) (inclusive). If the prospective transferee fails to purchase Vested Securities from any Participating Securityholder as to which such Participating Securityholder has exercised its rights under this Section 5 and the Transferring Securityholder fails to purchase such Vested Securities from the Participating Securityholder, the Transferring Securityholder shall not be permitted to make the proposed Transfer and any such attempted Transfer shall be subject to the penalty provisions of Section 4(e).

(f) Actions. Each holder of Executive Securities transferring Securities pursuant to this Section 5 or Section 6 below shall:

(i) in such Person’s capacity as a Securityholder, be obligated (a) to provide reasonable representations and warranties, customary for Transfers of this kind, with respect to title to and ownership of such Person’s Executive Securities and such Person’s capacity to enter into and be bound by the Transfer agreement, (b) to provide the representations and warranties, if any, to be provided by the Transferring Securityholder with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries and their business, (c) join on a pro rata basis (based on the amount of proceeds to be received) in any indemnification or other obligation that the Transferring Securityholder agrees to provide with respect to such representations and warranties and (d) take all other customary, necessary or desirable actions as reasonably requested by the Transferring Securityholder in connection with the Transfer; and

(ii) if such holder of Executive Securities shall be an Executive on the date of Transfer, in such Person’s capacity as an Executive provide such representations and warranties, in addition to any representations and warranties provided by the Transferring Securityholder, as may be requested by the transferees; provided that, such representations and warranties are (x) reasonable and customary, (y) consistent with current market practice at the time of the Transfer for transactions of that kind and (z) shall, at a minimum, include the representations and warranties provided in Section 3 above.

(g) Costs. All costs incurred by an Executive in connection with a Transfer of his/her Executive Securities pursuant to this Section 5 shall be borne solely such Executive. In addition, such Executive will bear its pro rata share (based on the amount of consideration received by him/it pursuant to this Section 5) of the costs of sale of such Executive’s Executive Securities to the extent that such costs are incurred for the benefit of all of the holders of the Securities being sold pursuant to such Transfer.

 

16


(h) Termination. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall terminate upon the termination of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in Section 4(a).

6. Drag Along Right.

(a) Approved Sale. If at any time the Bain Investors or the Board decide to effect a Sale of the Company (an “Approved Sale”), the Bain Investors or the Board may deliver a written notice (an “Approved Sale Notice”) with respect to such proposed Approved Sale at least 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated closing date of such Approved Sale to each Executive with the material details of the transaction. In connection with an Approved Sale, each Executive shall (i) conduct itself in a manner conducive to maximizing the aggregate sale proceeds, (ii) raise no objections against, such sale or the process pursuant to which such sale was arranged; (iii) waive any dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights or similar rights to such sale, if such sale is structured as a merger or consolidation; (iv) vote for and consent to any such Approved Sale; and (v) upon request from the Board or the Bain Investors, transfer a proportionate number of such Executive’s Executive Securities or rights to acquire Securities on the terms and conditions approved by the Board. Each Executive shall take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale as reasonably requested by the Bain Investors and the Board. If the Bain Investors do not exercise their rights under this Section 6, any Transfer will be subject to Section 5 (Tag Along Rights).

(b) Distributions upon an Approved Sale. In the event of an Approved Sale, each Executive who has been sent an Approved Sale Notice shall receive in exchange for each Vested Security transferred, the price per Vested Security that the Executive would have been entitled to receive in relation his Vested Securities if the aggregate net proceeds received in the Transfer to which this Section 6 applied were to be paid as a liquidating distribution of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Articles. To the extent any Vested Incentive Securities of the Executive have been transferred as a result of the Executive having received an Approved Sale Notice (the “Dragged Vested Incentive Securities”), the Executive will be entitled to receive on any subsequent sale of Bain Securities any amounts that he would have received had (i) he been holding his Dragged Vested Incentive Securities at the time of any such subsequent sale and (ii) the aggregate net proceeds received in the subsequent sales been paid as a liquidating distribution of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Articles.

(c) Costs. Each Executive who sells Executive Securities pursuant to this Section 6 will bear their pro rata share (based on the amount of consideration received by such Executive pursuant to such Approved Sale) of the costs of sale of such Executive Securities to the extent that such costs are incurred for the benefit of all of the holders of the Securities being sold pursuant to such Approved Sale.

(d) All Executives who sell Executive Securities pursuant to this Section 6 shall provide the same indemnities, representations and warranties and shall take all actions required under Section 5(f).

(e) Termination. The provisions of this Section 6 shall terminate upon the termination of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in Section 4(a).

 

17


7. Public Offering.

(a) By the Company. If at any time the Board approves a Public Offering, each holder of Executive Securities (in his/her capacity as a Securityholder) shall vote for and consent to (to the extent it has any voting or consent right) and raise no objections against such Public Offering and each holder of Executive Securities shall take all reasonable actions in connection with the consummation of such Public Offering as requested by the Board and consistent with current market practice at the time of such Public Offering (including, without limitation, those actions described in Section 7(c) below).

(b) Reorganization. In connection with any Public Offering subject to this Section 7, each holder of Executive Securities shall agree to effectuate such Public Offering as follows:

(i) If the public company vehicle (“Newco”) is to be a Luxembourg entity, the Company shall be converted into a société anonyme (public company with limited liability or S.A.) under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and the shares held by the holders will be reclassified as described below into the securities of Newco to be offered in such Public Offering (the “Newco Common”); or

(ii) If the Board and the managing underwriters agree that it will be more beneficial to either the Bain Investors or the Public Offering to effect the Public Offering using a Newco or a Subsidiary organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Luxembourg, the Company shall form or, if applicable, reorganize or recapitalize such entity, and the holders of Executive Securities shall, if requested by the Board, contribute all of their Securities to such Newco or Subsidiary in exchange for common stock in Newco or the relevant Subsidiary.

The Newco Common issued to the holders of Executive Securities shall be allocated among such holders so that, immediately after such exchange, each such holder of Executive Securities holds Newco Common having an aggregate value (based on the Public Offering price to the public) equal to the amount which such holder of the Executive Securities would have received if, immediately prior to such exchange, the Company had distributed to the Securityholders an aggregate amount equal to the Implicit Pre-IPO Value of the Newco Common in a complete liquidation immediately prior to such exchange. Shares of Newco Common shall be allocated among such holders as determined by the rights and preferences set out in the Articles of Association.

(c) Cooperation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7, the Company and each holder of Executive Securities in such Person’s capacity as such, agrees that it shall assist and cooperate with the other holders of Securities and the Board in doing all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, any Public Offering and shall otherwise act in a manner conducive to maximizing the aggregate offering proceeds. Each holder of Executive Securities agrees that if he/she is an Executive on the date of the Public Offering, such Person shall, in his/her capacity as an Executive, provide such representations and warranties as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters, in addition to any representations and warranties provided by him/her in such

 

18


Person’s capacity as a Securityholder; provided that such representations and warranties shall be (x) reasonable and customary and (y) consistent with current market practice at the time of the Public Offering. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7, Newco, the Company and its Subsidiaries and each holder of Executive Securities agrees that it shall not take any actions inconsistent with the procedures set out in this Section 7 or that would otherwise undermine the process for a Public Offering undertaken in accordance with this Section 7. The parties agree that they may carry out or change the form of the reorganization contemplated in Section 7(b) so as to maximize the aggregate tax efficiencies associated with such reorganization, taking into account the tax position of all the Securityholders; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, any such reorganization may negatively affect the tax position of individual Securityholders. Furthermore, the parties agree that, in the event that any prospective Public Offering is not consummated, and the Board shall so elect, they will assist and cooperate with the other holders of Securities and the Board in doing all things necessary to reverse as expeditiously as reasonably practicable any reorganization of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, to the extent reasonably practicable, to return the Company and Subsidiaries to their corporate forms and capitalization prior to any reorganization or recapitalization.

(d) Waiver. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each holder of Executive Securities hereby waives any dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with any recapitalization, reorganization and/or exchange pursuant to this Section 7.

(e) Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with any Public Offering, Newco and the Executive Securityholders shall enter into a Registration Rights Agreement which shall be consistent with the terms of this Section 7 and in a form and substance satisfactory to the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Bain Investors become entitled to any registration rights in connection with a Public Offering, the Executives shall, to the extent consistent with applicable law, have the right to participate on a pro rata basis on all registrations, listings and qualifications made by the Company of its Bain Securities, subject to any reasonable cutbacks determined by the managing underwriter.

8. “Material Covenant Violation” or a “Material Cooperation Violation”.

In the event of a Material Covenant Violation or a Material Cooperation Violation (each, as defined in the Employment Agreement), (i) any Incentive Securities which have not at the time of such Material Covenant Violation or a Material Cooperation Violation (the “MCV Date”) become Vested Securities and (ii) any Incentive Securities that became Vested Securities in the preceding 6-month period ((i) and (ii) together, the “MCV Securities”) may be purchased by the Company or the Bain Investors or such other Person as the Bain Investors may identify, at the lower of Fair Market Value and their Original Cost in accordance with the procedures set forth below in Section 9(b)(iv).

9. Right to Purchase the Incentive Securities

(a) Call Option - Non-Achievement of Performance Threshold. In the event that the Performance Vesting Incentive Securities do not become Vested Securities as a result of the Performance Threshold not being achieved upon a Change in Control or Public Offering in accordance with Section 2(f), such Performance Vesting Incentive Securities may be purchased the Company or the Bain Investors or such other Person as the Bain Investors may identify, at

 

19


the lower of Fair Market Value and their Original Cost in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 9(b)(iv).

(b) Call Option. In the event of the Executive’s ceases to be employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Incentive Securities then held by the Executive (or his Permitted Transferees, as applicable) may be purchased the Company or the Bain Investors or such other Person as the Bain Investors may identify, in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 9(b)(iv) (the “Call Option”).

(i) Good Leaver. If the Executive is a Good Leaver, then at any time on or after the Executive’s Termination Date, the Company or the Bain Investors, as applicable, may purchase all or any portion of the Incentive Securities which are Vested Securities at Fair Market Value and, subject to the proviso below in this Section 9(b)(i), the entire portion of the Incentive Securities which are Unvested Securities at the lower of their Fair Market Value and their Original Cost in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9(iv), provided that, the Executive (or any of his Permitted Transferees, if applicable) shall be permitted for a period of 12 months from the Executive’s Termination Date (the “Post Termination Period”) to retain any of the Unvested Performance Vesting Incentive Securities (the “Unvested Post-Termination Securities”). If during the Post Termination Period, the Performance Threshold is achieved in connection with a Change in Control or Public Offering, the Unvested Post-Termination Securities shall become Vested Securities (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be treated as Vested Securities for all purposes of this Agreement). If, however, the Performance Threshold is not achieved during the Post Termination Period, after the expiration of such period, the Unvested Post-Termination Securities shall no longer be capable of vesting and may be purchased at the lower of their Fair Market Value and their Original Cost in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9(iv).

(ii) Medium Leaver. If an Executive’s Termination is the result of the Executive’s voluntary resignation without Good Reason, then on or after the Executive’s Termination Date, the Company or the Bain Investors, as applicable, may purchase all or any portion of the Incentive Securities which are Vested Securities at Fair Market Value and the entire portion of the Incentive Securities which are Unvested Securities at the lower of their Fair Market Value and their Original Cost in accordance with the procedures set forth below.

(iv) Call Option Exercise Procedures. At the Board’s discretion the Company or the Bain Investors or such other Person as the Bain Investors may identify, as applicable, may purchase and, except as otherwise provided below, the Executive and the Executive’s Permitted Transferees shall sell all or any portion of the Incentive

 

20


Securities held by the Executive and his Permitted Transferees, upon delivery, by the Company or the Bain Investors, as applicable, of a written notice (the “Call Option Exercise Notice”) to the holder or holders of the Incentive Securities (i) during the 180-day period following the Executive’s Termination Date, (ii) with respect to Unvested Post-Termination Securities during the 180-day period commencing on the earlier of the date such Securities vest and the expiration of the Post Termination Period, (iii) during the 180 day period following a Change in Control or Public Offering, in relation to any Performance Vesting Incentive Securities which have not become Vested Securities under Section 2(f), or (iv) during the 180-day period commencing on the MCV Date in relation to the MCV Securities, (the “Call Option Exercise Period”).

(v) Assignment Rights. If the Company or the Bain Investors (or their assignees) shall have elected to exercise its Call Option to purchase Incentive Securities, then at any time prior to the closing of such transaction, the Company or the Bain Investors (or their assignees) may resell such of the Incentive Securities as have been purchased to any Executive(s) in such amount(s) as the Board shall determine in its full discretion and the relevant Executive shall have agreed to purchase. Such offer shall be effective with respect to all or any portion of the Call Option.

(vi) Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by Section 9(b) will take place on the date designated by the Company or the Bain Investors and in any event no later than the later of (a) the 180th day following the Termination Date or following vesting in relation to any Unvested Post-Termination Securities that have become Vested Securities in accordance with Section 9(b)(i) above or following the end of the Post-Termination Period in relation to any Unvested Post-Termination Securities that have not become Vested Securities or following a Change in Control or Public Offering, in relation to any Performance Vesting Incentive Securities which have not become Vested Securities under Section 2(f), or following the MCV Date in relation to the MCV Securities and (b) the 10th day following the determination of the Fair Market Value in accordance with Section 10. The Bain Investors and/or the Company, as the case may be, will pay for the Incentive Securities to be purchased pursuant to the Call Option by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the holder of such Incentive Securities, in the aggregate amount equal to the purchase price for such Incentive Securities, The Bain Investors and/or the Company, as the case may be, shall receive from each seller regarding the sale of the Incentive Securities to the relevant purchaser, representations and warranties that such seller has good and marketable title to the

 

21


Incentive Securities to be transferred, free and clear of all liens, claims and other encumbrances and that such seller can validly enter into and be bound by the agreement of sale together with such other representations and warranties as may be reasonable and customary at the time of sale. If the Company purchases any Incentive Securities subject to the Call Option, the Incentive Securities so acquired shall be redeemed in accordance with the provisions of Article 49-8 of the law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies, as amended.

(vii) Termination of Repurchase Right. The Call Option, and the associated rights of the Calling Person to purchase Executive Securities pursuant to Section 9(b) shall terminate upon the completion of a Public Sale or a Sale of the Company.

10. Fair Market Value.

(a) The Fair Market Value of Incentive Securities subject to the Call Right shall be determined by the Board in its good faith discretion and, to the extent any Incentive Securities are to be purchased for a price equal to Fair Market Value, included in the Call Option Exercise Notice, but shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 10.

(b) Fair Market Value shall be determined as at the Executive’s Termination Date.

(c) Within 30 days starting on the day after receipt of the Call Option Exercise Notice, the Executive shall notify the Board in writing if the Executive does not agree with the Board’s calculation of Fair Market Value (a “Disagreement Notice”).

(d) If the Executive does not provide the Board with a Disagreement Notice within the 30-day period referred to in Section 10(c), the calculation of the Fair Market Value provided by the Board shall be final and binding and shall constitute the Fair Market Value. If the Executive provides the Board with a Disagreement Notice within the 30-day period referred to in Section 10(c), the Executive may appoint a nationally recognised firm experienced in the valuation of private companies to determine the Fair Market Value (the “Executive Valuator”). The Company shall promptly provide all data reasonably requested by the Executive Valuator (including but not limited to financial data) which the Executive Valuator determines in good faith is necessary in order for it to determine Fair Market Value.

(e) If, within 60 days starting on the day after receipt of the Disagreement Notice (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Executive and the Board), the Executive (being advised by the Executive Valuator) and the Board have not agreed to the Fair Market Value, the Executive and the Board shall refer the matters in dispute to a nationally recognised independent firm of accountants agreed by the parties in writing. If the Executive and the Board are unable to agree on the appointment of an independent firm of accountants after a further 21 days, an independent firm of accountants will be appointed on the application of either party to the President at that time of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “Independent Valuator”) for the purposes of determining the Fair Market Value which shall be

 

22


either the number originally included in the Call Option Exercise Notice or the number submitted by the Executive to the Independent Valuator.

(f) If the final Fair Market Value, as determined pursuant to the process described above, is 110% or more of the Fair Market Value originally determined by the Board and included in the Call Option Exercise Notice, then the Company will pay the cost of the Executive Valuator and, if applicable, the Independent Valuator, and if such final Fair Market Value is less than 110% of the Fair Market Value originally determined by the Board, then the Executive will pay the cost of the Executive Valuator and, if applicable, the Independent Valuator. Notwithstanding the above, in choosing the Independent Valuator, if applicable, the Board and the Executive shall take into account the cost thereof, with a view of retaining a firm which charges not more than $200,000 for such valuation.

11. Restricted Securities Legend. The Executive Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, in addition to the other restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is then available. Any certificate evidencing Executive Securities and any certificate issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Executive Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OF ITS TERRITORIES OR POSSESSIONS OR AREAS SUBJECT TO ITS JURISDICTION OR TO ANY PERSON WHO IS A NATIONAL, CITIZEN OR RESIDENT THEREOF OR PERSON NORMALLY RESIDENT THEREIN OR TO ANY PERSON PURCHASING FOR RESALE TO ANY SUCH PERSON IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. IN ADDITION, THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE EXECUTIVE SUBSCRIPTION AND SECURITYHOLDER’S AGREEMENTS, AS AMENDED AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN SECURITYHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH. COPIES OF THE EXECUTIVE SUBSCRIPTION AND SECURITYHOLDER’S AGREEMENTS ARE ON FILE AT THE REGISTERED OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE PUBLICLY OFFERED PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF THE GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBOURG.”

The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates evidencing Executive Securities. The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates evidencing any Securities of the Company which cease to be Executive Securities in accordance with the definition thereof.

 

23


12. 83(b) Election. The Executive will make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code in respect of the Incentive Securities within 30 days following the issuance thereof to the Executive.

13. Amendment and Waiver. Subject to Section 14, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company, holders of a majority of the Executive Securities and holders of a majority of the Bain Securities. No course of dealing or the failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in any way operate as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. The provisions of this Section 12 shall remain unaffected by any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement.

14. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

15. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement and the documents referred to herein embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

16. Successors and Assigns.

17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

18. Remedies. Any person having rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that the Company, the Commandite, any holder of Executive Securities and any holder of Bain Securities may in its,

 

24


his/her sole discretion apply for specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting a bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
