(a)Board Constitution. A Board of Directors shall be constituted for the Corporation. The Board of Directors shall consist of five (5) directors (each, a “Director” and collectively, the “Director”), of whom (i) one shall be the individual that is the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation at the relevant time (the “CEO Director”), (ii) two shall be the individuals that each Large Stockholder has designated to the Board of Directors (each, a “Large Stockholder Director” and collectively, the “Large Stockholder Directors”), (iii) one shall be the individual that is jointly designated by the Large Stockholders (the “Joint Large Stockholder Director”) and (iv) one shall be the individual that is jointly designated by the Minority Designating Stockholders (the “Joint Minority Designating Stockholder Director”), and, in each case of ‎(ii)-‎(iv), all such Directors shall be Independent Directors selected in accordance with ‎Section 2.01(b). For the avoidance of doubt, termination, resignation or other removal of the individual then serving as Chief Executive Officer shall automatically result in the deemed resignation from the Board of Directors of such individual from the position of CEO Director, and the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer shall automatically result in the deemed appointment to the Board of Directors of such new Chief Executive Officer as the CEO Director. Subject to the following proviso, the Board of Directors shall select a Director (other than the CEO Director) to serve as the Chairman of the Board (the “Chairman”) from time to time, having such responsibilities as are determined by the Board of Directors; provided that the Large Stockholders shall have the right to jointly select the initial Director that shall be designated as the Chairman (which may be a Large Stockholder Director or another Director (other than the CEO Director)). The Corporation and each Stockholder shall take such action as may be required under applicable Law, the Organizational Documents and this Agreement to cause the Board of Directors to consist of the number of authorized Directors specified in this ‎Section 2.01(a) and to be composed of the Directors specified in ‎Section 2.01(a) and ‎Section 2.01(b). From and after the Effective Date, (i) the Corporation agrees to include in the slate of director nominees to be voted upon by Stockholders at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation at which directors are to be elected, or as otherwise permitted under the Bylaws, any directors designated in accordance with ‎Section 2.01(a) or ‎Section 2.01(b) and (ii) each Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Common Stock owned by such Stockholder (together with its Related Persons), or over which such Stockholder (together with its Related Persons) has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation at which directors are to be elected or as otherwise permitted under the Bylaws, any directors designated in accordance with ‎Section 2.01(a) or ‎Section 2.01(b), and in each case of (i) and (ii), the Corporation and each Stockholder (together with its Related Persons) shall cause the election of such designees to the Board of Directors, including designating such individuals to be elected as Directors as provided herein. The right of a Designating Stockholder to designate a Director pursuant to this ‎Section 2.01 shall cease following the

12

Large Stockholder Termination Date, the Joint Minority Designating Stockholder Termination Date or the date upon which SP no longer has the right to designate the Continuing Large Stockholder Director, as applicable. Following such time, the applicable designated Director shall be entitled to complete his or her then-remaining term as a Director. Such Director seat shall thereafter be nominated by (i) the Board of Directors or (ii) any other Stockholder proposing an alternative slate of Directors (subject to compliance with any applicable provisions in the Organizational Documents), in each case at any annual meeting of Stockholders and each such Director shall then be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast with respect to the Directors at any meeting for the election of Directors at which a quorum is present.

(b)Selection of Independent Directors.

(i)With respect to each Large Stockholder, prior to the Large Stockholder Termination Date, such Large Stockholder shall have the right to designate one Large Stockholder Director to the Board of Directors.

(ii) Prior to the Joint Minority Designating Stockholder Termination Date, the Minority Designating Stockholders, collectively, shall have the right to designate the Joint Minority Designating Stockholder Director to the Board of Directors.

(iii)SP and the other Large Stockholder shall have the right to jointly designate the initial Joint Large Stockholder Director to the Board of Directors.

(iv)Following the initial term of the Joint Large Stockholder Director, the Large Stockholder (other than SP) acknowledges and agrees to permanently waive its continuing designation right with respect to such Joint Large Stockholder Director, while SP shall continue to have the right to designate the Joint Large Stockholder Director (now, a “Continuing Large Stockholder Director”) so long as such Continuing Large Stockholder Director is an Independent Director and SP (together with its Related Persons) holds at least 30% of the Fully Diluted Party Common Stock in the aggregate.

(v)The Directors as of the Effective Date are Bradley Weston (in such person’s capacity as the CEO Director), Robert Hull (in such person’s capacity as the Large Stockholder Director designated by SP), Anthony Truesdale (in such person’s capacity as the other Large Stockholder Director), Neal Goldman (in such person’s capacity as the Joint Large Stockholder Director) and Mark King (in such person’s capacity as the Joint Minority Designating Stockholder Director).

(vi)For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the Director designation rights of the Designating Stockholders pursuant to this ‎Section 2.01 (and the related rights pursuant to this ‎Article 2 in the case of removal or vacancies) are contractual rights of the Designating Stockholders and are not subject to any vote of any other Stockholders, (B) the right of SP to designate the Continuing Large Stockholder

13

Director to the Board of Directors is a contractual right that is personal to SP and not transferrable to a third-party Transferee in connection with a Transfer to such third-party Transferee by SP of its ownership of Common Stock or otherwise, (C) the right of the Minority Designating Stockholders to designate the Joint Minority Designating Stockholder Director are contractual rights that are personal to each of DKP and Monarch and are not transferrable to a third-party Transferee in connection with a Transfer to such third-party Transferee by either DKP or Monarch, as applicable, of their respective ownership of Common Stock or otherwise and (D) the right of each Large Stockholder to designate one Large Stockholder Director to the Board of Directors is transferrable to a third-party Transferee in connection with a Transfer to such third-party Transferee by either Large Stockholder of its ownership of Common Stock; provided, that such third-party Transferee acquires at least 15% of the Fully Diluted Party Common Stock in the aggregate in such transfer; provided, further, that any such third-party Transferee may elect to waive this designation right for any period of time by providing prompt written notice to the Board of Directors.

(c)The Corporation shall be entitled to request from time to time as determined by the Corporation from each Designating Stockholder, and each Designating Stockholder agrees to provide to the Corporation upon such request, reasonably satisfactory evidence of such Designating Stockholder’s then-present ownership of Common Stock in order to verify the applicable of the rights of such Designating Stockholder under this Agreement.

(d)Board Committees. The Board of Directors may designate one (1) or more Board of Director committees (each, a “Board Committee”) consisting of two (2) or more Directors, which, to the extent provided in such designation, shall have and may exercise, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the powers and authority granted hereunder. The presence of each Large Stockholder Director and, once designated, the Continuing Large Stockholder Director shall be required to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of any Board Committee; provided, that, if a quorum cannot be established at a duly called Board Committee meeting due to the absence of either Large Stockholder Director or, once designated, the Continuing Large Stockholder Director, then a quorum shall not require the presence of such absent Director at a second duly called meeting of such Board Committee. Such Board Committee(s) shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. A majority of all the members of any such Board Committee may determine its action and fix the time and place, if any, of its meetings and specify what notice thereof, if any, shall be given, unless the Board of Directors shall otherwise provide. Subject to the foregoing, the Board of Directors shall have power to change the members of any such Board Committee at any time, to fill vacancies, and to discharge any such Board Committee, either with or without cause, at any time.

Section 2.02.Removal of Directors. Any Director may be removed from the Board of Directors in the manner allowed by applicable Law, this Agreement and the Organizational Documents; provided, that any Large Stockholder Director, Joint Minority Designating Stockholder Director, Joint Large Stockholder Director or, once

14

applicable, Continuing Large Stockholder Director may be removed and replaced, with or without cause and for any reason or no reason at any time, by (and only by) the Person(s) entitled to designate such Director, as applicable, pursuant to ‎Section 2.01(b). A Director may also resign of his or her own volition at any time, by written notice to the Corporation.

Section 2.03.Board Recommendation. Prior to holding any meeting of Stockholders (or obtaining a written consent in lieu thereof, unless such consent becomes effective prior to the Board of Directors having a reasonable opportunity to make a recommendation) at which a determination under ‎Section 2.01 or ‎Section 2.02 will be made, the Board of Directors shall submit to the Stockholders in writing the recommendation of the Board of Directors with respect to the determination(s) to be made.

Section 2.04.Board Vacancies. If there is a vacancy on the Board of Directors for any reason, such vacancy shall be filled (i) in the case of a vacancy of a Large Stockholder Director, by the applicable Large Stockholder, (ii) in the case of a vacancy of a Joint Minority Designating Stockholder Director, by the Minority Designating Stockholders, (iii) in the case of a vacancy of the Continuing Large Stockholder Director, by SP and (iv) in the case of any other vacancy, such Director seat shall thereafter be nominated by (i) the Board of Directors or (ii) the Stockholders (together with their Related Persons) collectively holding at least 50% of the Fully Diluted Party Common Stock that are proposing an alternative slate of Director(s) to fill any such vacancy (subject to compliance with any applicable provisions in the Organizational Documents), in each case at the next annual meeting of Stockholders and each such Director shall then be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast with respect to the Directors at any meeting for the election of Directors at which a quorum is present.

Section 2.05.Meetings of the Board of Directors; Quorum.

(a)Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at least once per fiscal quarter of the Corporation on such dates and at such places and times as may be determined by the Board of Directors. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Board of Directors on at least 72 hours’ prior written notice (which includes e-mail). The Chairman shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors at which he or she is present and shall exercise such powers and perform such other duties as shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors; provided, that if the Chairman is absent from any such meeting, any vice Chairman designated by the Board of Directors shall preside over such meeting. Meetings of the Board of Directors may be held by telephone conference or other communications equipment by means of which all participating Directors can simultaneously hear each other during the meeting.

(b)A majority of the voting power of the Directors then in office, including the presence of at least each Large Stockholder Director and, once designated, the Continuing Large Stockholder Director shall be required to constitute a quorum; provided, that, if a quorum cannot be established at a duly called regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors due to the absence of either Large Stockholder Director

15

or, once designated, the Continuing Large Stockholder Director, then a quorum shall not require the presence of such absent Director at a second duly called regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors.

Section 2.06.Action by the Board of Directors. Except as set forth in the Charter, each Director shall have one vote on each matter presented to the Board of Directors for approval and all actions of the Board of Directors shall require (a) the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all the Directors in office at a meeting at which a quorum is present, provided such directors constitute a quorum or (b) the unanimous written consent of the Directors in office; provided that (i) if there is a vacancy on the Board of Directors and an individual has been selected to fill such vacancy in accordance with ‎Section 2.01, the first order of business shall be to fill such vacancy in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) matters relating to the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall require the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Directors in office at a meeting at which a quorum is present (provided that for purposes of this clause (ii), the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer, as applicable, shall not be a Director in office for purposes of such approval) and (iii) the entry into, consummation, amendment, modification (including by waiver) or termination of any Affiliate Transaction shall require the approval of at least four of the five Directors (including at least one non-interested Director with respect to such Affiliate Transaction) in office at a meeting at which quorum is present; provided, however, that the approval of the Board of Directors shall not be required for any given Affiliate Transaction (x) if such Affiliate Transaction (or related transactions) is on terms and conditions that are equal to or more beneficial to the Corporation than the terms and conditions pursuant to which an independent third party would provide the goods or perform the services that are the subject of the Affiliate Transaction (or related transactions), (y) with respect to acquisitions of New Securities in accordance with ‎Section 3.01(a) or (z) with respect to acquisitions of debt securities of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to which preemptive rights would not otherwise apply in accordance with ‎Section 3.01, but for which the Board of Directors still elects to apply preemptive rights. For the avoidance of doubt, a Director shall not be prohibited from voting to approve any such Affiliate Transaction solely due to the fact they were nominated or approved as a Director by such interested Person.

Section 2.07.Charter or Bylaw Provisions. Each Stockholder agrees to vote all of its Common Stock or execute proxies or written consents, as the case may be, and to take all other actions necessary, to ensure that the Charter and Bylaws (a) facilitate, and do not at any time conflict with, any provision of this Agreement and (b) permit each Stockholder to receive the benefits to which each such Stockholder is entitled under this Agreement. The Charter and Bylaws shall provide for (i) the elimination of the liability of each Director to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and (ii) indemnification of, and advancement of expenses for, each Director for acts on behalf of the Corporation to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 2.08.Matters Requiring Approval by the Stockholders.

16

(a) Except as set forth in the Charter, in this ‎Section 2.08, ‎Section 2.09 or required under applicable Law, no Stockholder shall have any consent rights over actions to be taken by the Board of Directors, the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right to initiate an IPO or Company Sale).

(b)The Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Corporation to, incur any indebtedness of $50 million or greater, in one deal or a series of related deals, without the prior written consent of Stockholders holding not less than a majority of the Fully Diluted Party Common Stock; provided that the Bankruptcy Court’s order confirming the Plan shall constitute prior written consent over the ABL Exit Facility and the New Second Lien Notes (each as defined in the Plan). For the avoidance of doubt, such consent right shall apply in the context of refinancing of existing debt of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries on market terms.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in ‎Section 6.04, the Board of Directors shall not implement the Management Incentive Plan without the prior written consent of Stockholders holding not less than a majority of the Fully Diluted Party Common Stock.

Section 2.09.Compensation of Directors; Expenses. Subject to the prior written consent of Stockholders holding not less than a majority of the Fully Diluted Party Common Stock, the Board of Directors shall have the authority (as an expense of the Corporation) to fix the compensation of Directors (other than the CEO Director or any Director that is an employee of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, who shall not receive additional compensation for serving as a Director). No such payment shall preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. The Corporation shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Director in connection with attending regular and special meetings of the Board of Directors and any Board Committee on which the Director is a member, and any such meetings of the board of directors or equivalent body of any Subsidiary of the Corporation and any committee thereof, in each case, on which the Director is a member.

Section 2.10.Meetings of Stockholders.

(a)Meetings of the Stockholders shall be held at least annually on such dates and at such places and times as may be determined by the Board of Directors. Special meetings of Stockholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors or by Stockholders holding not less than a majority of the Fully Diluted Party Common Stock, in each case on at least 72 hours’ prior written notice (which includes e-mail).

(b)No action may be taken at a meeting of the Stockholders unless Stockholders holding not less than a majority of the Fully Diluted Party Common Stock are present in person. At any meeting of the Stockholders at which a quorum is present, an action undertaken by Stockholders representing a simple majority of the Stockholders present shall be the action of the Stockholders. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Stockholders at such meeting may be taken without a meeting, if consent to such action is delivered in writing or via electronic transmission by such number of Stockholders that would be required if such action were voted on at a meeting of the

17

Stockholders. Such written consent or a record of such electronic transmission shall be filed with the records of the Corporation.

Article 3
Preemptive Rights; Tag-Along Rights; Drag-Along Rights; Transfers

Section 3.01.Preemptive Rights.

(a)Subject to ‎Section 3.01(g), the Corporation hereby grants to each Stockholder that owns (including all shares owned by such Stockholder’s Related Persons) at least 3% of the Fully Diluted Party Common Stock as of the close of business on the record date determined by the Board of Directors (each such Stockholder, together with each such Related Person of such Stockholder, a “Preemptive Rightsholder”), which record date shall not be more than ten (10) Business Days prior to, and shall not be later than, the Corporation’s delivery of the Issuance Notice, the right to purchase up to its pro rata portion (based on the number of shares of Fully Diluted Party Common Stock owned by such Stockholder as of the close of business on the record date, as a percentage of the total number of shares of Fully Diluted Party Common Stock owned by all of the Preemptive Rightsholders) of any New Securities that the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries proposes to sell or issue for cash at any time and from time to time after the date hereof (with respect to a Preemptive Rightsholder, such Preemptive Rightsholder’s “Preemptive Share”). The rights of Preemptive Rightsholders to purchase New Securities pursuant to this ‎Section 3.01 (the “Securities Purchase Right”) shall apply at the time of issuance of any right, warrant, or option or convertible or exchangeable security that constitutes a New Security, and not to the subsequent conversion, exchange or exercise of such New Security in accordance with its terms.

(b)The Corporation shall give each Preemptive Rightsholder written notice of any proposed issuance or sale of New Securities that is subject to the Securities Purchase Right, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance or sale. Such notice (an “Issuance Notice”) shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed transaction, including the proposed manner of issuance or sale, a description of the New Securities, the total number of New Securities proposed to be issued or sold, the proposed issuance or sale date, the proposed purchase price per share, if applicable, and (if known) the name and address of the proposed purchaser of the New Securities.

(c)At any time during the ten (10) Business Days following receipt of an Issuance Notice, each Preemptive Rightsholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to irrevocably elect, by written notice to the Corporation, to purchase up to its Preemptive Share of the New Securities at the purchase price set forth in the Issuance Notice and upon the other terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice; provided, however, that no Preemptive Rightsholder shall be obligated (or permitted without the Corporation’s consent) to purchase any New Securities pursuant to this ‎Section 3.01 unless all required regulatory approvals, if any, applicable to such purchase have been obtained. Except as provided in the next sentence, the purchase of New Securities by the electing Preemptive Rightsholders shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Issuance Notice. The

18

closing of the purchase of New Securities by any electing Preemptive Rightsholder may be extended beyond the closing of the transaction described in the Issuance Notice, to the extent necessary to (i) obtain required approvals of any Governmental Entity and other required regulatory approvals which such Preemptive Rightsholder shall be diligently pursuing in good faith (and the Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any approvals required to be obtained by it provided that the Corporation shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket unreimbursed expenses in connection therewith other than those expenses that are not related to any specific Preemptive Rightsholder or specific group of Preemptive Rightsholders) and (ii) permit the Preemptive Rightsholder to complete its internal capital call process following receipt of the Issuance Notice; provided, however, in each case such Preemptive Rightsholder shall have no more than 180 days (in the case of obtaining approvals) or 30 days (in the case of completing an internal capital call) after delivery of the applicable Issuance Notice to obtain such approvals or complete such internal capital call process. If a Preemptive Rightsholder does not obtain the required approvals or complete its internal capital calls within the time set forth in the preceding sentence, such Preemptive Rightsholder shall be deemed to have not exercised its Securities Purchase Right and the Corporation shall have the right to issue such New Securities in accordance with the Issuance Notice, and references to the date the applicable Issuance Notice was given in ‎Section 3.01(d) shall be deemed to refer to the date that the period set forth in the preceding sentence ended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the closing of any purchase of New Securities by any Preemptive Rightsholder is extended pursuant to this paragraph, such extension shall not preclude the consummation of the issuance or sale of the remaining New Securities described in the Issuance Notice from occurring prior to such closing.

(d)To the extent that one or more Preemptive Rightsholders do not timely exercise their Securities Purchase Rights in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this ‎Section 3.01, or elect to exercise any such rights less than in full (the difference between the maximum number of New Securities such Preemptive Rightsholder could have elected to purchase under this ‎Section 3.01 and the number of New Securities for which such Preemptive Rightsholder exercised its preemptive rights under this ‎Section 3.01, such Preemptive Rightsholder’s “Individual Excess Shares” and the Individual Excess Shares of all such Preemptive Rightsholders, the “Excess Shares”), then the Corporation (or the applicable Subsidiary) shall offer to sell to the Preemptive Rightsholders that have validly elected to purchase all of their Preemptive Share of the New Securities, the Excess Shares pro rata (based on the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Preemptive Rightsholder without giving effect to the issuance pursuant to the Issuance Notice) divided by the number of shares of Fully Diluted Party Common Stock owned by all Preemptive Rightsholders exercising in full their Securities Purchase Rights and at the same price and on the same terms as those specified in the Issuance Notice, and such Preemptive Rightsholders shall have the right to acquire all or any portion of such Excess Shares within two (2) Business Days following the expiration of the period specified in ‎Section 3.01 by delivering written notice thereof to the Corporation. The Corporation shall continue to offer additional portions to Preemptive Rightsholders validly electing to purchase their full pro rata portion of such Excess Shares pursuant to this ‎Section 3.01(d) until the earlier of (i) all New Securities proposed

19

to be issued by the Corporation or its Subsidiaries and with respect to which Preemptive Rightsholders were entitled to exercise their rights under this ‎Section 3.01 have been allocated to the Preemptive Rightsholders or (ii) no Preemptive Rightsholder remains who has any further right to purchase (including as a result of having waived its rights to purchase) Excess Shares pursuant to the foregoing provision.

(e)Following compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this ‎Section 3.01, the Corporation (or its applicable Subsidiary) shall be free to consummate the proposed issuance or sale of all or any portion of the remaining New Securities that the Preemptive Rightsholders have not elected to purchase, on terms no less favorable to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries than those set forth in the Issuance Notice; provided, that (i) such issuance or sale is closed within ninety (90) days after the date the related Issuance Notice was given, except that, if such issuance or sale is subject to regulatory approval, such ninety (90)-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five (5) Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than one hundred and ninety (190) days after the related Issuance Notice was given, and (ii) the price at which the New Securities are transferred must be equal to or higher than the purchase price described in the Issuance Notice. In the event that the Corporation (or its applicable Subsidiary) has not sold such New Securities within such ninety (90)-day period (as may be extended as set forth in the preceding sentence), the Corporation (or its applicable Subsidiary) shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first again offering such securities to the Stockholders entitled to preemptive rights in the manner provided in this ‎Section 3.01.

(f)The rights and obligations set forth in this ‎Section 3.01 shall automatically terminate upon, and shall cease to have any force or effect following, the earlier of (i) the date the Common Stock is listed on a National Securities Exchange in the United States (a “Listing”), or (ii) the consummation of the first public offering and sale of Common Stock by the Corporation (other than on Form S-8 or its equivalent), pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act (such public offering and sale, an “IPO”).

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Corporation and/or any of its Subsidiaries may issue or sell New Securities to any purchaser (an “Accelerated Buyer”) without first complying with the provisions of this ‎Section 3.01 if the Board of Directors determines in good faith that it is in the best interests of the Corporation to consummate such issuance or sale without having first complied with such provisions; provided, that in connection with any such issuance or sale, the Corporation shall give the Preemptive Rightsholders written notice of such issuance or sale as promptly as practicable, which notice (an “Accelerated Sale Notice”) shall describe in reasonable detail (a) the material terms and conditions of the issuance or sale of the New Securities to the Accelerated Buyer, including the number or amount and description of the New Securities issued, the issuance or sale date, the purchase price per share, and the name and address of the Accelerated Buyer and (b) the rights of the Preemptive Rightsholders to purchase New Securities, pursuant to this paragraph, in connection with such issuance or sale. In the event of any such issuance or sale of New Securities to an Accelerated Buyer, each Preemptive Rightsholder shall have the right, at any time during

20

the ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the Accelerated Sale Notice, to elect to purchase New Securities in an amount equal to the amount of such New Securities it would have been entitled to purchase if the issuance or sale to the Accelerated Buyer had instead been completed without regard to this ‎Section 3.01(g), including pursuant to ‎Section 3.01(d). If one or more Preemptive Rightsholders exercise the election to make a purchase, the Corporation shall give effect to each such exercise by either (i) requiring that the Accelerated Buyer sell down a portion of its New Securities, or (ii) issuing additional New Securities to such Preemptive Rightsholder, or a combination of (i) and (ii), so long as such action effectively provides such Preemptive Rightsholder with the same number of New Securities it would have received had this paragraph not been utilized.

(h)A Preemptive Rightsholder may assign its Securities Purchase Right to any Person or Persons (whether or not a Stockholder) that agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Preemptive Rightsholder by executing a Joinder.

Section 3.02.Tag-Along Rights.

(a)If at any time prior to the earlier of a Listing or the consummation of an IPO, any one or more Stockholders (collectively with their Related Persons) (collectively, the “Tag-Along Seller”) propose to Transfer shares of Common Stock that constitute more than fifty percent (50%) of the total shares of Common Stock to one or more purchasers that are not Related Persons of the Tag-Along Seller (and are not otherwise being Transferred pursuant to a Drag-Along Sale under ‎Section 3.03) in any transaction or series of related transactions (a “Tag-Along Transfer”), then, each other Stockholder (each such Stockholder, together with each other respective Affiliate of such Stockholder, collectively the “Tag-Along Offerees”) shall have the right (a “Tag-Along Right”) to exercise tag-along rights in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this ‎Section 3.02 (any such Stockholder exercising such rights, a “Tagging Stockholder”). The rights and obligations set forth in this ‎Section 3.02 shall automatically terminate upon, and shall cease to have any force or effect following, the earlier of (i) a Listing or (ii) the consummation of an IPO.

(b)The Tag-Along Seller shall promptly give written notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) to the Corporation setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Seller, the name and address of the proposed Transferee (the “Tag-Along Transferee”), the proposed purchase price for each such share of Common Stock (which shall be the same price per share with respect to each share of outstanding Common Stock proposed to be Transferred) (the “Tag-Along Per Share Consideration”), and any other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Transfer. Upon receipt of any such Tag-Along Notice, the Corporation shall promptly (but in no event later than seven (7) Business Days following receipt thereof) provide such Tag-Along Notice (the “Tag-Along Notice Period”) to each Tag-Along Offeree. Each Tag-Along Offeree shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days from the mailing date of the Tag-Along Notice by the Corporation to elect to sell in the Tag-Along Transfer a number of shares of Common Stock up to its Tag-Along Pro Rata Portion at a price per share equal to the Tag-Along Per Share Consideration. Any Tag-Along Offeree

21

may exercise such right by delivery of an irrevocable written notice to the Tag-Along Seller and the Corporation specifying the number of shares of Common Stock such Tag-Along Offeree desires to include in the Tag-Along Transfer. Unless the Tag-Along Transferee agrees to purchase all the shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Seller and the Tagging Stockholders, (i) each Tagging Stockholder shall be entitled to include in the Tag-Along Transfer a number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock that the Tag-Along Transferee has agreed to purchase in the Tag-Along Transfer by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred by such Tagging Stockholder in the Tag-Along Transfer and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Seller and all Tagging Stockholders and (ii) the Tag-Along Seller shall be entitled to include the number of shares of Common Stock that the Tag-Along Transferee has agreed to purchase in the Tag-Along Transfer minus the total number of shares of Common Stock that the Tagging Stockholders are entitled to sell pursuant to the foregoing clause (i). The Tag-Along Seller shall have a period of one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days following the expiration of the ten (10) day period referred to above to consummate the Tag-Along Transfer, on the payment terms specified in the Tag-Along Notice (which 120-day period shall be extended if any of the transactions contemplated by the Tag-Along Notice are subject to regulatory approval until the expiration of five (5) Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 180 days following the end of the Tag-Along Notice Period). If the Tag-Along Seller and the Tag-Along Transferee (i) have not consummated the Tag-Along Transfer in the time period set forth in the preceding sentence or (ii) propose to consummate the Tag-Along Transfer at a different price or on different terms than those set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, then the Tag-Along Seller shall not be permitted to consummate the Tag-Along Transfer without again giving the Tag-Along Offerees the opportunity to Transfer shares of Common Stock in accordance with this ‎Section 3.02. As used herein, “Tag-Along Pro Rata Portion” means a number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the applicable Tag-Along Offeree by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Seller in the Tag-Along Transfer and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by the Tag-Along Seller immediately prior to such Tag-Along Transfer.

(c)Notwithstanding anything contained in this ‎Section 3.02, there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of the Tag-Along Seller to the Tag-Along Offerees or any other Person if the Tag-Along Transfer pursuant to this ‎Section 3.02 is not consummated for whatever reason. Whether to effect a Tag-Along Transfer pursuant to this ‎Section 3.02 by the Tag-Along Seller is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Tag-Along Seller. No Tagging Stockholder shall be obligated to pay any fees or expenses (other than its own) incurred in connection with any consummated or unconsummated Tag-Along Transfer, except each Tagging Stockholder may be obligated to bear its pro rata share (based on each such Tagging Stockholder’s share of the aggregate proceeds paid with respect to such Tag-Along Transfer) of the reasonable documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Tag-Along Seller in connection with a

22

(f)if the Tag-Along Seller is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received as a result of the Tag-Along Transfer, all Tagging Stockholders will be given the same option other than to the extent prohibited by Law; provided, however, no Tagging Stockholder shall be entitled to receive any form of consideration that such holder would be ineligible to receive as a result of such holder’s failure to satisfy any condition, requirement or limitation that is established in good faith and generally applicable to the Corporation’s stockholders.

Section 3.03.Drag-Along Rights.

(a)If holders of Common Stock (the “Drag-Along Sellers”) owning more than 50% of the Fully Diluted Party Common Stock propose to Transfer all (but not less than all) of the shares of Common Stock held by them in a bona fide arms’-length negotiated Company Sale that is approved by the Board of Directors for consideration payable in cash and/or freely tradeable and marketable securities (a “Drag-Along Sale”), the Drag-Along Sellers may at their option (the “Drag-Along Rights”) require each other holder of Common Stock (“Other Stockholders”) to:

(i)sell all (but not less than all) of the Common Stock owned by such Other Stockholder to the Person(s) to whom the Drag-Along Sellers propose to sell their shares of Common Stock (that in any case are not Related Persons of the Drag-Along Sellers) (the “Drag-Along Buyer”) and on the same terms and conditions as the Drag-Along Sellers;

23

(ii) if such Drag-Along Sale requires Stockholder approval, with respect to all shares of Common Stock that such Other Stockholder owns or over which such Other Stockholder otherwise exercises voting power, vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all shares of Common Stock in favor of, and adopt, such Drag-Along Sale and to vote in opposition to any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Drag-Along Sellers to consummate such Drag-Along Sale;

(iv)irrevocably appoint each of the individuals identified as a “Drag-Along Agent” in the Drag-Along Sale Notice as his, her or its agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Drag-Along Agents”) (with full power of substitution) to execute all agreements, instruments and certificates and take all action necessary to effectuate any Drag-Along Sale as contemplated hereunder (including to Transfer such Other Stockholder’s shares of Common Stock on the terms set forth in the Drag-Along Sale Notice), grants to each Drag-Along Agent a proxy (which shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and to be irrevocable) to vote (including acting by written consent, if requested) all shares of Common Stock having voting power held by such Person and exercise any consent rights applicable thereto in favor of any such Drag-Along Sale as provided hereunder; provided, however, that the Drag-Along Agents shall not exercise such powers-of-attorney or proxies with respect to any such Person unless such Person refuses or fails to comply with its obligations hereunder within such period of time as may be reasonably specified by the Drag-Along Sellers;

(v)not deposit, and to cause their Related Persons not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any shares of Common Stock owned by such Other Stockholder in a voting trust or subject any shares of Common Stock to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such Common Stock, unless specifically requested to do so by the acquirer in connection with the Drag-Along Sale; and

(vi)refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable Law at any time with respect to such Drag-Along Sale.

The Corporation and the Other Stockholder (or if more than one Other Stockholder is objecting, all objecting Other Stockholders) shall each bear one-half of the fees and expenses of the independent third-party accounting, valuation, appraisal or investment banking firm selected as set forth in the preceding sentence.

(c)If the Drag-Along Sellers elect to exercise their Drag-Along Rights, the Drag-Along Sellers shall provide notice of such proposed Drag-Along Sale to the Corporation at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Drag-Along Sale (a “Drag-Along Sale Notice”).

26

Notice. If the Drag-Along Sale shall not have been consummated during such period, the Drag-Along Seller shall return to each of the Other Stockholders all applicable instruments such Other Stockholders delivered for Transfer pursuant hereto, together with any other documents in the possession of the Drag-Along Seller executed by the Other Stockholders in connection with such proposed Transfer, and all the restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement or otherwise applicable at such time with respect to such shares of Common Stock held (directly or indirectly) by the Other Stockholders shall again be in effect.

(i)This ‎Section 3.03 and the rights and obligations contained herein shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) a Listing or (ii) the consummation of an IPO and shall thereafter have no force or effect.

Section 3.04.Certain Rights of Designating Stockholders Applicable to All Transfers.

(a)If any Stockholder (including a Designating Stockholder) desires to make a Transfer (other than in the case of a (i) Transfer to a Related Person of such Stockholder or (ii) Drag-Along Sale) (the “Transferring Stockholder”) of all or any portion of its shares of Common Stock, the Transferring Stockholder shall provide each of the Designating Stockholders as of the Effective Date (the “Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholders”) with a written notice (a “Transfer Notice”) of its desire to Transfer such shares of Common Stock, which shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock such Transferring Stockholder wishes to Transfer (the “Transfer Shares”), the purchase price for such Transfer Shares and any other terms and conditions material to the Transfer proposed by the Transferring Stockholder.

27

(b) Each Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholder shall have the right to deliver to the Transferring Stockholder an irrevocable written notice (the “Transfer Election Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Transfer Notice (the “Transfer Election Period”), indicating that such Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholder (or its respective Related Persons) desires to acquire an amount of Transfer Shares up to its Designating Stockholder Transferred Share Portion, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice.

(c)Upon delivery of such Transfer Election Notice during the Transfer Election Period, the Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholder shall consummate the Transfer of any Transfer Shares to be purchased by such Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholder, in accordance with ‎Section 3.04(a) at the price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice within 30 days after the end of the Transfer Election Period (subject to extension to the extent necessary to obtain required governmental approvals that are required by the binding, definitive agreement entered into to give effect to such Transfer of Transfer Shares), and the Transferring Stockholder and the purchasing Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholder shall execute such documents as are reasonably required by the Transferring Stockholder in connection with the sale of such Transfer Shares to such Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholder.

(d)If a Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholder does not provide a Transfer Election Notice to the Transferring Stockholder before the end of the Transfer Election Period, or if the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transfer Election Notice has not occurred within 180 days, such Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholder shall be deemed to have declined the offer contained in the Transfer Notice and the Transferring Stockholder may Transfer such Transfer Shares to a third party (other than a Competitor) at any time within 45 days (subject to extension to the extent necessary to obtain required governmental approvals that are required by the binding, definitive agreement entered into to give effect to such Transfer of Transfer Shares), at a price which is not less than the purchase price and on other terms and conditions not materially more favorable to such third party Transferee than those specified in the Transfer Notice.

(e)To the extent that one or more Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholders do not timely exercise their purchase rights with respect to the Transfer Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this ‎Section 3.04, or elect to exercise any such rights for less than the full Designating Stockholder Transferred Share Portion (the difference between the maximum number of the Designating Stockholder Transferred Share Portion such Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholder could have elected to purchase under this ‎Section 3.04 and the number of Transfer Shares for which such Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholder exercised its purchase rights under this ‎Section 3.04, such Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholder’s “Individual Excess Transfer Shares” and the Individual Excess Transfer Shares of all such Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholders, the “Excess Transfer Shares”), then the Transferring Stockholder shall offer to sell to the Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholders that have validly elected to purchase all of their Designating Stockholder Transferred Share Portion of the Transfer Shares, the

28

Excess Transfer Shares pro rata (based on the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholder without giving effect to the number of shares of Common Stock such Transferring Stockholder wishes to Transfer pursuant to the Transfer Notice) divided by the number of shares of Fully Diluted Party Common Stock owned by all Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholders exercising in full their right to purchase Transfer Shares up to their Designating Stockholder Transferred Share Portion and at the same price and on the same terms as those specified in the Transfer Notice, and such Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholder shall have the right to acquire all or any portion of such Excess Transfer Shares within two (2) Business Days following the expiration of the Transfer Election Period by delivering written notice thereof to the Transferring Stockholder. The Transferring Stockholder shall continue to offer additional Transfer Shares to Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholders validly electing to purchase their full pro rata portion of such Excess Transfer Shares pursuant to this ‎Section 3.04(e) until the earlier of (i) all Transfer Shares proposed to be sold by the Transferring Stockholder and with respect to which Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholders were entitled to exercise their rights under this ‎Section 3.04 having been allocated to the Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholders or (ii) no Prospective Transferee Designating Stockholders remaining who have any further right to purchase (including as a result of having waived their rights to purchase) Excess Transfer Shares pursuant to the foregoing provision.

(f)For the avoidance of doubt, the rights provided to each Designating Stockholder contained in this ‎Section 3.04 are personal to each such Designating Stockholder and are not transferrable to a third-party Transferee in connection with a Transfer to such third-party Transferee by a Designating Stockholder (or any of its Related Persons) of its or their respective ownership of shares of Common Stock.

Section 3.05.Conditions Applicable to All Transfers.

(a)Without limiting the provisions of this Agreement, each Stockholder agrees that it shall not Transfer any Common Stock at any time if such Transfer would not comply with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to compliance with ‎Section 3.04 and this ‎Section 3.05, any Stockholder may transfer any Common Stock, together with its rights (except as set forth in ‎Section 2.01(b)(vi) and ‎Section 3.04(f)) under ‎Section 2.01 of this Agreement with respect to Director designation rights (and the related rights pursuant to this ‎Article 2 in the case of removal or vacancies) to any Person, at any time. As a condition precedent to any Transfer, the Corporation may require an opinion of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that registration under the Securities Act is not required. Each Person who hereafter acquires Common Stock in a Transfer from a Stockholder and is not already a Stockholder shall, as a condition to the effectiveness of such Transfer, execute and deliver a Joinder, and any Transfer in which the acquirer of Common Stock does not so deliver a Joinder (if applicable) shall be void ab initio.

(b)At any time prior to the earlier of an IPO or the Corporation otherwise becoming subject to the periodic reporting obligations of the Exchange Act, the

29

Corporation and any transfer agent for the Common Stock may refuse to register any transfer of shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such transfer, the Common Stock would be held of record by more than 300 holders. Each Stockholder agrees to cooperate with the Corporation with respect to any actions approved by the Board of Directors to ensure the Corporation remains below 300 holders at all times. If the Corporation becomes aware that the Common Stock becomes held of record by more than 250 holders, the Corporation will notify all Stockholders of such fact.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Stockholder shall Transfer any shares of Common Stock (i) to a Competitor (except pursuant to a Company Sale) without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors (which may be given or withheld in the Board of Director’s sole discretion) or (ii) if such Transfer would cause the Corporation to become subject to the registration requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(d)Each Stockholder that Transfers any shares of Common Stock as permitted by this Agreement shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide or cause to be provided to any prospective Transferee of such Stockholder (subject to ‎Section 4.03) a copy of this Agreement (including by such proposed Transferee receiving access to this Agreement pursuant to the Secured Site).

(e)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any Transfer not in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be void ab initio, and such proposed Transferee shall not be entitled to any rights or benefits arising hereunder until all applicable provisions have been satisfied.

Article 5
Indemnification and Exculpation; Waivers

Section 5.01.Indemnification and Exculpation.

35

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Corporation shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Covered Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, whether joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Indemnified Losses”), incurred or suffered by such Covered Person, as a party or otherwise, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether formal or informal, and whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation, arising out of or in connection with any act or omission, or alleged act or omission, performed or omitted to be performed by such Covered Person in connection with or in any way related to the business or the operation of the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation, unless it is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnified Losses were the result of Cause with respect to such Covered Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than any claim to enforce its rights under this ‎Article 5, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any Covered Person in connection with any action, suit or proceeding initiated by such Covered Person unless the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding is approved by the Board of Directors.

(b)No Covered Person shall be liable to the Corporation or to any Stockholder for any loss or damage sustained by the Corporation or any Stockholder, unless it is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the loss or damage shall have been the result of Cause with respect to such Covered Person. The negative disposition of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether formal or informal, and whether by or in the right of the Corporation, by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person acted in a manner contrary to the standard set forth in the previous sentence.

(c)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by a Covered Person in defending or otherwise participating in any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to this ‎Section 5.01 shall be advanced by the Corporation prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount in the event it is ultimately determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified therefor pursuant to this ‎Section 5.01.

(d)The Corporation hereby acknowledges that certain of the Covered Persons may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more other Persons (but not including any such other Person to the extent such Person would have an obligation to provide indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance pursuant to a contractual obligation to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Secondary Indemnitors”), which may include Persons who employ a Covered Person or of which a Covered Person is a partner or member or whose respective Affiliates, affiliated investment funds, managed funds and

36

management companies, if applicable, have such Covered Person as a partner or member. The Corporation hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort in respect of the matters in this ‎Section 5.01 (i.e., the Corporation’s obligations to each Covered Person are primary and any obligation of the Secondary Indemnitors to advance expenses and/or provide indemnification for the same expenses and liabilities incurred by Covered Persons are secondary) and (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Covered Persons and shall be liable for the full amount of any Indemnified Losses to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Corporation and the relevant Covered Person, without regard to any rights that such Covered Person may have against any Secondary Indemnitor. The Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by any Secondary Indemnitor shall affect the foregoing and that any relevant Secondary Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the relevant Covered Persons against the Corporation. The Corporation and each Covered Person agree that the Secondary Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of this ‎Section 5.01.

(e)The indemnification provided by this ‎Section 5.01 shall be in addition to any other rights to which any Covered Person may be entitled under this Agreement or any other agreement with the Corporation or any other Person, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives, successors, assigns and administrators of the Covered Person.

Section 5.02.Specific Indemnity.

(a)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Corporation shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Designating Stockholder as of the Effective Date and each of their respective Affiliates and Representatives (collectively, the “Designating Stockholder Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Indemnified Losses, incurred or suffered by any such Designating Stockholder Indemnified Person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether formal or informal, arising out of or in connection with any act or omission, or alleged act or omission, performed or omitted to be performed by any such Designating Stockholder Indemnified Person in connection with or in any way related to the Designating Stockholder Indemnified Actions, unless it is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnified Losses were the result of a Designating Stockholder Indemnified Persons’ willful misconduct, gross negligence, or actual fraud.

(b)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by a Designating Stockholder Indemnified Person in defending or otherwise participating in any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to this Section 5.02 shall be advanced by the Corporation prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Designating Stockholder Indemnified Person to repay such amount in the event it is ultimately determined that the

37

Designating Stockholder Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified therefor pursuant to this ‎Section 5.02.

Section 5.03.Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such Person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under applicable Law or ‎Section 5.01.

Section 5.04.Rights to Rely on Legal Counsel, Accountants; Other Matters.

(a)No Covered Person shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Corporation or any Stockholder for any performance or omission to perform any acts in reliance on the advice of accountants or legal counsel for the Corporation.

(b)The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to such of the officers, Directors, directors, managers, employees, agents or other representatives of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, and such other Persons as the Board of Directors may determine, in each case, to such extent and to such effect as the Board of Directors shall determine to be appropriate.

(c)Neither the amendment nor repeal of this ‎Article 5, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any modification of law, shall adversely affect any right or protection of any Person granted pursuant hereto existing at, or arising out of or related to any event, act or omission that occurred prior to, the time of such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification (regardless of when any proceeding (or part thereof) relating to such event, act or omission arises or is first threatened, commenced or completed).

(d)The indemnification obligations set forth in this ‎Article 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 5.05.Waiver of Corporate Opportunities. Each of the Corporation and the Stockholders recognizes that the Stockholders and their respective Affiliates (other than the Corporation and its Subsidiaries) and all of their respective partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers and/or employees, including any of the foregoing who serve as officers, directors or employees of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Exempt Persons”), have or may in the future have other business interests, activities and investments or opportunities with respect thereto, some of which may be in conflict or competition with the business of the Corporation, and that such Exempt Persons are entitled to carry on such other business interests, activities and investments and/or compete with the Corporation or pursue such opportunities, even if such interests, activities and investments are adverse to the interests of the Corporation or one or more of its Stockholders, and shall have no obligation to present any such

38

opportunities to the Corporation or any other Person. Neither the Corporation, its Subsidiaries, the Stockholders (or their respective Affiliates) nor any other Person shall have any right, by virtue of this Agreement, in or to such activities, or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such activities, even if competitive with the business of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, by a Exempt Person (or any of their Affiliates or any other Person with which such Exempt Person is acting) shall not be deemed wrongful or improper or constitute a breach of any duty or obligation (contractual, fiduciary or otherwise). Each of the Exempt Persons, in their sole discretion, may offer an opportunity to participate in any such business or venture to any Person, including any Stockholders or their respective Affiliates without any duty or obligation to any other Person. The taking by any such Exempt Person (or its respective Affiliates or any other Person with which such Exempt Person is acting), or the offering or other transfer by any such Exempt Person to another Person, of any potential business opportunity shall not constitute or be construed or interpreted as (a) a breach or violation of any duty (contractual, fiduciary or otherwise, including any duty under this Agreement or any other applicable Law) or (b) receipt by any such Exempt Person or its respective Affiliates or other Persons with which it is acting of an improper benefit, or an improper personal benefit, in money, property, services or otherwise. This ‎Section 5.05 is being adopted notwithstanding any duty (including any fiduciary duty) that would otherwise exist at law, in equity or otherwise.

The waiver by any Party of any provision of this Agreement is effective only in the instance and only for the purpose that it is given and does not operate and is not to be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such provision or as a waiver of any other provision. No failure by any Party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition.

Section 6.20.Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will 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 will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
