(b)          If the Controlling Stockholders elect to exercise their rights under this Section 2.5, a written notice (the “Drag Along Notice”) shall be furnished by the Controlling Stockholders to each other Stockholder.  The Drag Along Notice shall set forth the principal terms of the proposed Sale Transaction including, if and as applicable, the number and classes or series of Shares to be acquired by the Prospective Buyer in the Sale, the number and classes or series of Shares to be acquired from the Controlling Stockholders, the manner in which such Shares are to be sold, the per Share consideration to be received by each class or series of capital stock of the Company in the proposed Sale (which shall be the price per Share of such class or series in a Deemed Liquidation Event in which the Controlling Stockholders received the consideration that they will receive in such Sale and which may be estimated if the price is determined by a formula including variables which cannot be precisely determined until closing) and the name of the Prospective Buyer.

(c)          If requested by the Controlling Stockholders in order to consummate the proposed Sale Transaction to which reference is made in the Drag Along Notice, each other Stockholder shall be bound and obligated to take the actions set forth in Section 2.5(a) and Section 2.6.  No Stockholder shall have the right to exercise any tag along rights contained in Section 2.4 in connection with the proposed Sale to which reference is made in the Drag Along Notice.  If at the end of the 180th day following the date of the effectiveness of the Drag Along Notice the Controlling Stockholders, have not completed the proposed Sale, (i) each Stockholder shall be released from its obligation under the Drag Along Notice, (ii) the Drag Along Notice shall be null and void, and (iii) it shall be necessary for a separate Drag Along Notice to be furnished and the terms and provisions of this Section 2.5 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 2.5; provided, however, that if any governmental entity approvals are required in connection with such Sale, such 180-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five (5) Business Days following the date on which all governmental approvals are obtained and any applicable waiting periods under applicable law have expired or been terminated.

2.6          Miscellaneous Provisions Relating to Sales and Sale Transaction under Section 2.4 and 2.5.  The following provisions shall be applied to any Sale or Sale Transaction, as applicable, to which a Stockholder exercises rights under Section 2.4 or 2.5:

(a)          In the event the consideration to be paid in exchange for Shares in a proposed Sale or Sale Transaction, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5 includes any securities, and the offer thereof to, or receipt thereof by, a Stockholder would require under applicable law: (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (ii) the provision to any Stockholder of any information other than such information as would be required under Regulation D under the Securities Act in an offering made pursuant to Regulation D solely to accredited investors (as defined therein), the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable, shall be obligated only to use their reasonable efforts to cause the requirements under Regulation D to be complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Stockholder to be offered and receive such securities, it being understood and agreed that the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable, shall not be under any obligation to effect a registration of such securities under the Securities Act or similar statutes unless the securities issued to the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable, are so registered.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 2.6 or of Section 2.4 or 2.5, if use of reasonable efforts does not result in the requirements under Regulation D being complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Stockholder to be offered or receive such securities, the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable, shall cause to be paid to such Stockholder in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Shares (in accordance with Section 2.6(e)) which would have otherwise been Sold by such Stockholder to the Prospective Buyer in the Sale, an amount in cash equal to the price per Share proposed to be paid for such Shares in the proposed Sale or Sale Transaction in exchange for Shares.  The obligation of the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable, to use reasonable efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit a Stockholder to be offered or receive such securities shall be conditioned on such Stockholder executing such documents and instruments, and taking such other actions (including if required by the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable, agreeing to be represented during the course of such transaction by a “purchaser representative” (as defined in Regulation D) in connection with evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment and acknowledging that he was so represented), as the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable, shall reasonably request in order to permit such requirements to be complied with.  Unless the Stockholder in question shall have taken all actions reasonably requested by the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable, in order to comply with the requirements under Regulation D: (i) such Stockholder shall not have the right to require the payment of cash in lieu of securities under this Section 2.6(a) and (ii) the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable, may proceed with the proposed Sale without the participation of such Stockholder.

11


(b)          Each selling Stockholder, whether in his capacity as a seller of Shares or holder of Shares, shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be reasonably necessary in order expeditiously to consummate each Sale or Sale Transaction, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5 and any related transactions, including (i) executing, acknowledging and delivering assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; (ii) voting its shares as directed by the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable; (iii) waiving dissenters or appraisal rights and not raising any objections; (iv) waiving and releasing any claims against the Company, the Board of Directors or any Stockholder related to the transactions that are the subject of a Drag Along Notice; (v) furnishing information and copies of documents; (vi) filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; and (vii) otherwise cooperating with the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable, and the Prospective Buyer; provided, however, that the selling Stockholders shall be obligated to become liable in respect of any representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or otherwise to the Prospective Buyer solely to the extent provided in the immediately following sentence.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each selling Stockholder agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably specified by the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable, to which such Stockholders will also be party subject to the following limitations: each Stockholder shall only be required to: (y) make representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements as to the unencumbered title to and ownership of its Shares, the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Shares and participate and enter into the transaction, the absence of any conflicts to the Transfer of such Shares, the absence of any litigation which could adversely affect such Transfer and the absence of any claims for brokerage fees or similar compensation in connection with such Transfer; and/or (z) except in the case of fraud, be severally (with all other sellers) liable (whether by purchase price adjustment, indemnity payments or otherwise) in respect of representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in respect of the Company and its subsidiaries (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the aggregate liability of any Stockholder exceed such Stockholder’s pro rata portion of any such liability to be determined in accordance with such Stockholder’s portion of the aggregate proceeds to all holders of Shares in connection with such Sale); provided, however, that, other than for such Stockholder’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation, in no event shall the aggregate liability of any Stockholder in connection with such Sale exceed such Stockholder’s proceeds in connection with such Sale and provided further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, a Sale Transaction shall, in all instances, be subject to approval pursuant to Section 4.7(b), if applicable, and nothing in this Section 2.6 shall require any Party to waive any of its rights hereunder or under the Certificate.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.6 to the contrary, neither the PEP Stockholders nor the SL Stockholders will be required to (i) enter into any non-competition or similar restrictive covenants in connection with such Sale or Sale Transaction pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5 or (ii) enter into any non-solicit or no-hire or similar restrictive covenants if such Stockholder does not receive any proceeds in connection with such Sale or Sale Transaction pursuant to Section 2.5.

(c)          All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable, PEP Stockholders, SL Stockholders and the Company in connection with any proposed Sale pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5 (whether or not consummated), including all attorney’s fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, shall be paid from the sales proceeds prior to distribution and shall be borne by all of the selling Stockholders pro rata based on the proceeds which would otherwise be received by them.  The Company may retain legal counsel and other advisors, if necessary, to assist with the Sale.  For the avoidance of doubt, the PEP Stockholders and SL Stockholders will not charge any monitoring fees in connection with any such Sale pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5.

12


(d)          The closing of a Sale pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5 shall take place at such time and place as the Prospective Selling Holder or Controlling Stockholders, as applicable, shall specify by reasonable notice to each selling Stockholder.  At the closing of any Sale under Section 2.4 or 2.5, each selling Stockholder shall deliver any certificates evidencing the Shares to be Sold by such Stockholder (or, if the registered holder of a share certificate alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), duly endorsed, or with transfer powers duly endorsed, for transfer with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, with any stock (or equivalent) transfer tax stamps affixed (if applicable), against delivery of the applicable consideration.  It is understood and agreed that no Stockholder shall have any liability to any other Stockholder arising from, relating to or in connection with any proposed Sale which has been the subject of a properly delivered Tag Along Notice or a properly delivered Drag Along Notice whether or not such proposed Sale is consummated (except solely to the extent, if any, as such holder may agree in the documentation specifically relating to such Sale).

(e)          Subject to Section 2.6(c), in connection with any Transfer of Shares pursuant to Section 2.4 or Section 2.5 (including the event that multiple classes of Shares are Transferred), the consideration paid in such Transfer shall be distributed concurrently with, or reasonably promptly after, the receipt of such consideration by the Controlling Stockholder, to the classes and series of Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate as if such Transfer was a Deemed Liquidation Event, assuming (i) a liquidation value of the Company derived from the value paid for the Shares in such Transfer and (ii) that the only Shares outstanding are the Shares subject to the Transfer.

(f)          No Stockholder shall be a party to a transac-tion or series of related transactions (i) in which a Person, or a group of related Persons (other than a Permitted Transferee or Permitted Transferees), acquires from stockholders of the Company shares representing more than 50% of the out-standing voting power of the Company or (ii) that qualifies as a Deemed Liquidation Event unless (x) all parties hereto are allowed to participate in such transaction(s) and (y) the consideration received pursuant to such transaction is allocated among the parties thereto in the manner specified in the Certificate in effect immediately prior to such transaction (as if such transaction(s) were a Deemed Liquidation Event). No Shares pledged to any debt financing source of a Stockholder shall be subject to Section 2.5 if more than 35% of the consideration payable in such Sale Transaction is in any form other than cash.

2.7          SL Debt Financing Sources - Restrictions.  For so long as one or more SL Debt Financing Sources hold Shares representing in the aggregate more than 50% of the aggregate Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) owned by the SL Stockholders and the SL Debt Financing Sources at the applicable time, then the SL Debt Financing Sources, acting by majority of Shares held by the SL Debt Financing Sources, shall be entitled to exercise the rights of the SL Stockholders and the SL Debt Financing Observer under this Agreement and the Certificate, subject to the following and Section 2.8:

(a)          neither the SL Stockholders nor the SL Debt Financing Sources will be entitled to exercise the rights in clauses (d), (e), (g), (h), (j), (k), or (l) of Section 4.6;

(b)          neither the SL Stockholders nor the SL Debt Financing Sources will be entitled to exercise the rights in clauses (a) or (b) of Section 4.7 with respect to the authorization, creation or issuance of any additional Series B Stock or any security that is junior to the Series B Stock; and

(c)          neither the SL Stockholders nor the SL Debt Financing Sources will be entitled to exercise the rights in Section 2.5 until the sixth anniversary of the date of this Agreement.

13


2.8          SL Debt Financing Sources – Reversion of Rights.  Upon the SL Debt Financing Sources ceasing to hold more than 50% of the aggregate Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) owned by the SL Stockholders and the SL Debt Financing Sources at the applicable time, (i) Section 2.7 shall cease to apply, (ii) the SL Debt Financing Sources shall no longer be entitled to exercise any rights granted to the SL Stockholders or SL Debt Financing Source Observer hereunder or under the Certificate and (iii) the SL Stockholders shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights granted to the SL Stockholders and SL Directors under this Agreement and under the Certificate, subject in all cases to any applicable ownership thresholds contained herein.

2.9          Right of First Offer.

(a)          If any debt financing source of a Stockholder has foreclosed or is in the process of foreclosing on the Shares of such Stockholder (the “Foreclosed Shares”), and proposes to Transfer any Foreclosed Shares to a Person who is not a Competitor, the debt financing source shall first deliver written notice to the Company and the PEP Stockholders (the “Proposed Transfer Notice”) stating its bona fide intention to Transfer the Foreclosed Shares and specifying the number of Foreclosed Shares proposed to be Transferred.  In order to exercise their right of first offer under this Section 2.9, the PEP Stockholders may deliver a written notice (a “ROFO Offer”) to the selling debt financing source within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice (the “ROFO Notice Period”), specifying the number of Foreclosed Shares to be purchased and the material terms and conditions of their offer, including the price per Share in cash to be paid by the PEP Stockholders for the Foreclosed Shares.  If the PEP Stockholders do not deliver a ROFO Offer during the ROFO Notice Period, the PEP Stockholders shall be deemed to have waived all of their rights to purchase the Foreclosed Shares under this Section 2.9 and the debt financing source may seek to Transfer the Foreclosed Shares to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the PEP Stockholders deliver a ROFO Offer, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the ROFO Offer, the selling debt financing source must notify the PEP Stockholders in writing that the selling debt financing source either accepts or rejects the ROFO Offer. If the debt financing source accepts the ROFO Offer, the debt financing source and PEP Stockholders shall proceed to expeditiously consummate the sale of the applicable Foreclosed Shares, which must be settled no later than (i) thirty (30) calendar days after the date of acceptance by the debt financing source if no regulatory approvals are required or, (ii) if any regulatory approvals are required, such extended deadline as the PEP Stockholders and such debt financing source may mutually agree (and if not so settled within such time frame, the PEP Stockholders shall be deemed to have waived all of their rights to purchase the Foreclosed Shares under this Section 2.9). If the debt financing source rejects the ROFO Offer, the debt financing source may, for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days thereafter, seek to Transfer the Foreclosed Shares to a Permitted Transferee free and clear of any right of the PEP Stockholders under this Section 2.9 for a price per Share greater than the price per Share offered by the PEP Stockholders and on terms not materially less favorable to such Permitted Transferee than as provided in the ROFO Offer.  At any time during the one hundred and eighty (180) calendar day period, the debt financing source may again give the PEP Stockholders an opportunity to submit another ROFO Offer (a “Refreshed ROFO Offer”) and the terms of this Section 2.9 shall apply to such Refreshed ROFO Offer mutatis mutandis; provided, however, that for the purposes of a Refreshed ROFO Offer, the ROFO Notice Period shall be five (5) Business Days instead of ten (10) Business Days.

(b)          The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9 shall expire upon the closing of a Public Offering and shall not apply to any Shares which have been sold in a Public Sale.

ARTICLE III
PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

3.1          Preemptive Rights.  The Company shall not and shall cause its subsidiaries not to issue or sell any Shares to any Person (each an issuance of “Subject Securities”), except in compliance with the provisions of this Article III.

3.2          Timing and Procedures. Not fewer than five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of the issuance of Subject Securities, a written notice (the “Participation Notice”) shall be given by the Company to each Eligible Stockholder.  The Participation Notice shall include:

(a)          The principal terms of the proposed issuance, including (i) the number and kind of Subject Securities to be included in the issuance, (ii) the price per share of the Subject Securities, (iii) the percentage represented by the number of Shares (assuming all Shares were converted to Common Stock) owned, beneficially and of record, by such Eligible Stockholder immediately prior to the issuance divided by the aggregate number of Shares owned, beneficially and of record, by all Eligible Stockholders (assuming all Shares were converted to Common Stock) immediately prior to such issuance (the “Participation Percentage”) and (iv) the name and address of each Person to whom the Subject Securities are proposed to be issued (each a “Prospective Subscriber”); provided, however, that if the consideration to be paid by the Prospective Subscriber for the Subject Securities contains non-cash consideration, then the Participation Notice shall also specify the fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, including at least one SL Director (or the Debt Financing Source Observer, if applicable) and one PEP Director) of such non-cash consideration; and

(b)          An offer by the Company to issue to such Eligible Stockholder such portion (not in any event to exceed such holder’s Participation Percentage of the total amount of Subject Securities to be included in the issuance) of the Subject Securities to be included in the issuance as may be requested by such Eligible Stockholder, at the same price and otherwise on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each share of Subject Securities issued to such Eligible Stockholder, as the issuance to each of the Prospective Subscribers; provided, however, that if the consideration to be paid by the Prospective Subscriber for the Subject Securities contains non-cash consideration, then such offer shall give each such Eligible Stockholder the option to pay, in lieu of delivery of such non-cash consideration, cash in the amount of the fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, including at least one SL Director (or the Debt Financing Source Observer, if applicable) and one PEP Director) of such non-cash consideration.

3.3          Exercise of Rights.  Each Eligible Stockholder desiring to accept the offer contained in the Participation Notice shall send an irrevocable commitment (each a “Participation Commitment”) to the Company within five (5) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Participation Notice specifying the amount or proportion (not in any event to exceed such holder’s Participation Percentage of the total amount of Subject Securities to be included in the issuance) of Subject Securities which such Eligible Stockholder desires to be issued (each a “Participating Buyer”).  Each Eligible Stockholder that has not so accepted such offer shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived all of such holder’s rights solely with respect to such issuance under this Article III.  The Company shall thereafter be free to issue Subject Securities to the Prospective Subscribers and any Participating Buyers on terms not materially more favorable to the Prospective Subscribers than those set forth in the Participation Notice, without any further obligation to such non-accepting Eligible Stockholders.  If, prior to consummation, the terms of such proposed issuance shall change with the result that the terms shall be materially more favorable to the Prospective Subscribers than those set forth in the Participation Notice, it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Article III separately complied with, in order to consummate such issuance pursuant to this Article III; provided, however, that in the case of such a separate Participation Notice, each applicable period to which reference is made in this Article III shall be two (2) Business Days.

15


3.4          Binding Obligation.  The acceptance of each Participating Buyer shall be irrevocable except as hereinafter provided, and each such Participating Buyer shall be bound and obligated to acquire in the issuance on terms and conditions no less favorable than set forth in the Participation Notice, with respect to each share of Subject Securities issued, as the Prospective Subscribers (subject to the proviso to Section 3.2(b)), such amount or proportion of Subject Securities as such Participating Buyer shall have specified in such Participating Buyer’s Participation Commitment.

3.5          Reissuance of Notice.  If at the end of the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day following the date of the effectiveness of the Participation Notice the Company has not completed the issuance on the terms and conditions specified in such Participation Notice, each Participating Buyer shall be released from its obligations under such Participating Buyer’s Participation Commitment, the Participation Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be furnished, and all of the terms and provisions of this Article III separately complied with, in order to consummate any issuance subject to this Article III.

3.6          Cooperation.  Each Eligible Stockholder, in his capacity as a Participating Buyer, shall take or cause to be taken all such reasonable actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to consummate expeditiously each issuance pursuant to this Article III and any related transactions, including executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments, filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities, and otherwise cooperating with the Company, the Prospective Subscribers and the Participating Buyers (if any).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Participating Buyer agrees to execute and deliver such subscription and other agreements specified by the Company to which the Prospective Subscriber will be party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the execution, acknowledgement and delivery of any such consents, assignments, waivers, agreements, instruments, applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents shall not require any Eligible Stockholder to make any representation or warranty (other than the representations and warranties regarding those matters addressed in Article III of the Subscription Agreement), and any and all costs of preparing the foregoing consents, assignments, waivers, agreements, instruments, applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents shall be borne by the Company.  Nothing in this Section 3.6 shall require any Eligible Stockholder to take any actions under Section 4.6 or Section 4.7.

3.7          Costs and Expenses.  All costs and expenses incurred by any Eligible Stockholder in connection with any proposed issuance of Subject Securities (whether or not consummated), including all attorney’s fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, shall be borne by such holder.

3.8          Closing of Preemptive Issuance.  The closing of an issuance pursuant to this Article III shall take place at such time and place as the Company shall specify by notice to each Participating Buyer given not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the closing of the issuance.  At the closing of any issuance under this Article III, each Participating Buyer shall be delivered the notes, certificates or other instruments evidencing the Subject Securities to be issued to such Participating Buyer, registered in the name of such Participating Buyer or his designated nominee, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, with any transfer tax stamps affixed (if applicable), against delivery by such Participating Buyer of the applicable consideration.

3.9          Exclusions.  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article III, the preceding provisions of this Article III shall not apply to:

(a)          any issuance of Shares to officers, employees, directors, advisors or consultants of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in each case in connection with their compensation or employment as such (other than an issuance to a PEP Stockholder or SL Stockholder or an Affiliate of a PEP Stockholder or SL Stockholder);

16


(b)          any issuance of Shares in connection with a debt issuance, commercial loan or leasing transaction that is approved by the Board of Directors provided that the fair market value of such Shares at the time of issuance (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors) does not exceed 5% of the face amount of such debt, loan or leasing obligation;

(c)          any issuance of Shares which are being made or offered to all Eligible Stockholders pro rata in accordance with the amount of Shares (assuming all Shares were converted to Common Stock) held by such Eligible Stockholders;

(d)          any issuance of Shares in a Public Offering;

(e)          any issuance of Shares as consideration in any merger or acquisition (including the acquisition of assets) or similar transaction by the Company;

(f)          the issuance by the Company of Shares pursuant to the Series B Purchase Agreement (including the exchange of Shares) or the Exchange Agreement; and

(g)          issuance by the Company of Shares pursuant to the Series C Subscription Agreements.

3.10          Reserved.

3.11          Compliance with Laws.  If the offer to or receipt of any Subject Securities by an Eligible Stockholder would require under applicable law: (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (ii) the provision to such holder of any information other than such information as would be required under Regulation D in an offering made pursuant to Regulation D solely to accredited PEP Stockholders, the Company shall be obligated only to use reasonable efforts to cause the requirements under Regulation D to be complied with to the extent necessary to permit such holder to be offered and receive such securities, it being understood and agreed that the Company shall not be under any obligation to effect a registration of such securities under the Securities Act or similar statutes unless the securities offered and issued to the Prospective Subscriber are so registered.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article III, if use of reasonable efforts does not result in the requirements under Regulation D being complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Eligible Stockholder to be offered and receive such securities, the Company shall be under no obligation under this Article III with respect to such holder.  The obligation of the Company to use reasonable efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit a Eligible Stockholder to be offered and receive such Subject Securities shall be conditioned on such Eligible Stockholder executing such documents and instruments, and taking such other actions (including if required by the Company, agreeing to be represented during the course of such transaction by a “purchaser representative” (as defined in Regulation D) in connection with evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment and acknowledging that it was so represented), as the Company shall reasonably request in order to permit such requirements to be complied with.  Unless the Common Stock holder in question shall have taken all actions reasonably requested by the Company in order to comply with the requirements under Regulation D, the Company may proceed with the proposed issuance without the participation of such holder.

3.12          Accelerated Offering.  Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, in lieu of complying with the provisions of this Article III prior to an issuance of Subject Securities, the Company may elect to deliver a Participation Notice to the Eligible Stockholders within thirty (30) days after the issuance of Subject Securities.  Each Eligible Stockholder shall have ten (10) days from the date notice is given to elect to purchase up to the number of Subject Securities that would, if purchased by such Eligible Stockholder, maintain such Eligible Stockholder’s Participation Percentage, calculated as set forth in Section 3.2(a) before giving effect to the issuance of such Subject Securities.  The closing of such sale shall occur within sixty (60) days of the date notice is given to the Eligible Stockholders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be deemed to have complied with this Article III, including this Section 3.12, if the Eligible Stockholders who initially purchased the Subject Securities agree in writing to, and within forty-five (45) days after such issuance does, offer to sell, and sells, such number of Subject Securities to each Eligible Stockholder that would be necessary to effectuate the intent of this Article III.

(a)          Each Stockholder agrees that, except as otherwise consented to by the Board of Directors, all information which has been furnished to it or will be furnished to it, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the business of any of them will be kept confidential, will not be used by such Stockholder, or by any of its agents, representatives, or employees, for any purpose other than evaluating and monitoring the investment in the Company and its subsidiaries and enforcing rights hereunder, and will not be disclosed by such Stockholder, or by any of its agents, representatives, or employees, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part.

26


(b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5.2(a), any information that the Stockholder in question can demonstrate (a) was generally known in the trade or business in which it is practiced by the Company or its affiliates at the time of disclosure to such Stockholder, or becomes so generally known after such disclosure through no act of such Stockholder or its employees or agents, or (b) has come into the possession of such Stockholder from a third party who was not actually known by such Stockholder to be under an obligation to the Company or any of its affiliates to maintain the confidentiality of such information shall not be subject to the immediately preceding sentence.

(i)
each Stockholder shall be permitted to disclose such information to those of its agents, representatives, and employees who need to be familiar with such information in connection with such Stockholder’s investment (each such Person being hereafter referred to as “Authorized Representatives”) in the Company for use solely for such purpose, provided each Stockholder uses reasonable efforts to cause each of it Authorized Representatives to keep such information confidential and comply with the obligations under this Section 5.2;


(ii)
each Stockholder shall be permitted to disclose such information to financial institutions, investment bankers and prospective purchasers of such Stockholder’s Shares for use solely in evaluating a prospective investment in such Shares, provided each Stockholder uses reasonable efforts to cause such persons to keep such information confidential and comply with the obligations under this Section 5.2;

(d)          each Stockholder shall be permitted to disclose information to the extent necessary for the enforcement of any right of such Stockholder arising under this Agreement; and

(e)          the parties acknowledge and agree that the PEP Stockholders, the SL Stockholders and their respective employees and agents who receive or are exposed to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ confidential information may further develop their general knowledge, skills and experience (including general ideas, concepts, know-how and techniques), which may be based in whole or in part on such confidential information.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the use by the PEP Stockholders, the SL Stockholders, their Affiliates and these employees and agents of such general knowledge, skills and experience, as retained in their unaided memories, will not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

27


(f)          Without intending to limit the remedies available to the Company, each Stockholder acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.2 may result in material irreparable injury to the Company or its affiliates for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the Stockholder and/or such Stockholder’s affiliates from engaging in activities prohibited hereby or such other relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the covenants contained herein, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, such Stockholder agrees not to oppose the granting of such injunctive relief on the basis that monetary damages are an adequate remedy.  Each Stockholder hereby agrees and consents that such injunctive relief may be sought in the courts in the State of Delaware, or in any other court having competent jurisdiction.

(g)          The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue to bind each Person who was ever subject to this provision even if such Person would otherwise cease to be subject to this provision.

5.3          Freedom to Pursue Opportunities.  In recognition that the PEP Stockholders and the SL Stockholders and their respective Affiliates currently have, and will in the future have or will consider acquiring, investments in numerous companies with respect to which the PEP Stockholders or the SL Stockholders and their respective affiliates may serve as an advisor, a director or in some other capacity, and in recognition that the PEP Stockholders and the SL Stockholders and their respective Affiliates have myriad duties to various investors and partners, and in anticipation the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “EverCommerce Companies”) and the PEP Stockholders and the SL Stockholders (or one or more affiliates, associated investment funds or portfolio companies, or clients of the PEP Stockholders or SL Stockholders, as applicable) may engage in the same or similar activities or lines of business and have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunities, and in recognition of the benefits to be derived by the EverCommerce Companies hereunder and in recognition of the difficulties that may confront any advisor who desires and endeavors fully to satisfy such advisor’s duties in determining the full scope of such duties in any particular situation, the provisions of this Section 5.3 are set forth to regulate, define and guide the conduct of certain affairs of the EverCommerce Companies as they may involve the PEP Stockholders or the SL Stockholders, as applicable, which is expressly acknowledged and agreed to by all Stockholders, including the Rollover Stockholders.  Except as the PEP Stockholders or SL Stockholders, as applicable, may otherwise agree in writing after August 23, 2019:

(a)          the PEP Stockholders and the SL Stockholders and their respective affiliates will have the right:  (A) to directly or indirectly engage in any business (including, without limitation, any business activities or lines of business that are the same as or similar to those pursued by, or competitive with, any of the EverCommerce Companies and their subsidiaries), (B) to directly or indirectly do business with any client or customer of any of the EverCommerce Companies and their subsidiaries, (C) to take any other action that the PEP Stockholders or SL Stockholders, as applicable, believe in good faith is necessary to or appropriate to fulfill its obligations as described in the first sentence of this Section 5.3, and (D) not to present potential transactions, matters or business opportunities to any of the EverCommerce Companies or any of their subsidiaries, and to pursue, directly or indirectly, any such opportunity for itself, and to direct any such opportunity to another Person;

(b)          the PEP Stockholders and the SL Stockholders and their respective officers, employees, partners, members, other clients, Affiliates and other associated entities will have no duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present any corporate opportunities to the EverCommerce Companies or any of their affiliates or to refrain from any action specified in Section 5.3(a), and the EverCommerce Companies on their own behalf and on behalf of their affiliates, hereby renounce and waive any right to require the PEP Stockholders and the SL Stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates to act in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.3;

28


(c)          neither the PEP Stockholders nor SL Stockholders nor any of their respective officers, directors, employee, partners, members, stockholders, affiliates or associated entities thereof will be liable to the Company and its subsidiaries or any of their affiliates for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of any activities or omissions of the types referred to in this Section 5.3 or of any such Person’s participation therein.

5.4          Tax Treatment.  The Company shall at all times treat the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock as common stock for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes.  The Company shall not report any deemed dividend or distribution to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock as a result of the rights and obligations of the Company or the holders of shares under the Certificate or as a result of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Series B Purchase Agreement or the Series C Subscription Agreements, as applicable.

5.5          Amount Paid or Distributed.  For the purposes of determining fair market value of securities not subject to investment letters or other similar restrictions on free marketability, the Board of Directors shall use the following:

(b)          if actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending three days prior to the closing of such transaction; or

(c)          if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.

5.6          Fair Market Value Disputes.  If either the SL Stockholders or PEP Stockholders object in writing to any determination of fair market value by the Board of Directors in reasonable detail (a “Dispute Notice”), the SL Stockholders or PEP Stockholders (as applicable) and the Board of Directors shall work together in good faith to resolve all disputes raised in the Dispute Notice.  If the SL Stockholders or PEP Stockholders (as applicable) and the Company are not able to resolve all disagreements within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Dispute Notice, or such longer period agreed to by the parties, the Company shall within five (5) Business Days after the end of such period, select and engage an independent third party valuation firm of national standing that is not the independent auditor of any of the Company, the SL Stockholders or PEP Stockholders and that is mutually agreed upon by the Company, the SL Stockholders and the PEP Stockholders (the valuation firm so selected, the “Valuation Expert”).  The Company agrees to enter into a customary indemnity agreement with the Valuation Expert in connection with the retention of such Valuation Expert.  The Company and the SL Holders and/or PEP Holders (as applicable) may furnish to the Valuation Expert such information and documents as it deems relevant, with copies of such submission and all such documents and information being concurrently given to each party.  The Valuation Expert shall issue a detailed written report that sets forth its determination of Fair Market Value.  Such report shall be final and binding upon the Company, the SL Stockholders and PEP Stockholders.  The fees and expenses of the Valuation Expert shall be borne by the Company.  The Company and SL Stockholders and PEP Stockholders shall, cooperate fully with the Valuation Expert and respond on a timely basis to all requests for information or access to documents or personnel made by the Valuation Expert or its designees, all with the intent to fairly and in good faith resolve all disputes relating to the determination of fair market value in the Dispute Notice as promptly as reasonably practicable.  The Valuation Expert shall act as an expert, not as an arbitrator, in resolving the disputed matters under the Dispute Notice.

ARTICLE VI
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

6.1          Amendment and Waiver.

(a)          This Agreement (and any terms hereof) may be modified, amended or waived with and by (but only with and by) the prior written consent of both a majority of the Shares (on an as-converted basis) held by the PEP Stockholders and a majority of the Shares (on an as-converted basis) held by the SL Stockholders, provided, however, that this Agreement may be updated by the Board of Directors solely to reflect the addition of new Stockholders to whom Shares have been issued or Transferred in compliance with the terms hereof without the consent of any party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, for so long as the Rollover Stockholders hold at least 10% of the Shares outstanding (assuming the conversion of all Shares to Common Stock), this Agreement, including Section 2.4, Article III, Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 5.1 and this Section 6.1, may not be modified, amended or waived in a manner materially disproportionately adverse to the Rollover Stockholders as compared to the PEP Stockholders and the SL Stockholders without the approval of the Rollover Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares held by the Rollover Stockholders (it being acknowledged and agreed that any modification or amendment hereto entered into in connection with the creation, authorization or issuance of any Stock or resulting from a change in holdings of Stock shall not be deemed adverse to the Rollover Stockholders).  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, for so long as the Rollover Stockholders hold at least 10% of the Shares outstanding (assuming the conversion of all Shares to Common Stock), Section 2.4, Section 3 and Section 4.2 may not be modified, amended or waived without the approval of the Rollover Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares held by the Rollover Stockholders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, for so long as Eric Remer continues to hold Shares representing at least 50% of Eric Remer’s total ownership of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company (assuming the conversion of all Shares to Common Stock, excluding any securities of the Company that are subject to vesting provisions) as a percentage of all of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company (assuming the conversion of all Shares to Common Stock, excluding any securities of the Company that are subject to vesting provisions) that he held as of October 17, 2016, the portion of Section 4.1(b) relating to his right to membership on the Board of Directors may not be modified, amended or waived without his approval.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, this Agreement (and any terms hereof) may not be modified, amended or waived in a manner that would be adverse to the SL Stockholders (other than the SL Debt Financing Sources) as compared to the SL Debt Financing Sources, without the prior written consent of a majority of the Shares (on an converted basis) held by SL Stockholders (other than the SL Debt Financing Sources). Any modification, amendment or waiver effected in accordance herewith shall be binding on all parties hereto and all of their respective successors and permitted assigns whether or not such party, successor or assign entered into or approved such modification, amendment or waiver.

(b)          Upon written request of a majority of the Series C Preferred Stock held by the PEP Stockholders or a majority of the Series C Preferred Stock held by the SL Stockholders, the Company and the Stockholders shall take or cause to be taken all such actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable in order to (i) create a class of Common Stock that does not have the right to vote on the election or appointment of directors to the Board of Directors in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) provide for the Series C Preferred Stock to be solely convertible into such new class of Common Stock until such time as the requirements under the HSR Act have been complied with or the HSR Act is no longer applicable.

6.2          Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement will terminate in respect of all Stockholders: (a) with the written consent of a majority of the Shares (on an converted basis) held by the PEP Stockholders and a majority of the Shares (on an converted basis) held by the SL Stockholders (other than with respect to Section 4.2, which may only be terminated with the consent of the Rollover Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares (on an converted basis) held by the Rollover Stockholders); (b) upon the dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Company; and (c) other than with respect to Article V, upon consummation of a Public Offering.

30


6.3          Termination as to a Party.  Any Person who ceases to hold any Shares shall cease to be a Stockholder and shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement; provided, that Section 4.7(ii), Section 4.7(g), Section 5.2, Section 5.4, Section 7.13(b) and Section 7.13 (c) shall continue to apply to such Person.

ARTICLE VII

(as may be amended, restated, or amended and restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time) to which its stockholders are party, a copy of which may be inspected at the principal office of the issuer or obtained from the issuer without charge.”

“The shares represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold or transferred unless the registration provisions of said act have been complied with or unless in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the company both as to opinion and counsel compliance with such provisions is not required.”

(a)          The legends above may be removed upon the directions of the Board of Directors upon: (i) in regard to the first paragraph of the legend, the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2; and (ii) in regard to the second paragraph of the legend, the opinion of Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP or other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that such restrictions are no longer required in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act.

(b)          Upon the written request of either the SL Stockholders or PEP Stockholders, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the SL Stockholders or PEP Stockholders (as applicable) original, paper stock certificates, representing the Shares then held by such requesting Stockholders.

31


7.5          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Associated Documents, represents the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements with respect to such subject matter.  No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.  The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.  No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

(b)          EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  NO PARTY HAS AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.
