Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Advantage shall not be prohibited from maintaining any pledges of its Shares that it had in place as of December 19, 2006; provided, that, the beneficiary of the Shares so pledged must, as a condition precedent to foreclosing upon or taking other remedies with respect to such pledge, agree in writing with the Company and Advantage, for the benefit of all Investors, to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if such transferee were Advantage and any foreclosure upon, taking of remedies with respect to, or purported transfer of, such Shares in violation hereof shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) each Investor who is an individual may transfer, without the necessity of prior approval, all or any of his or her Shares by way of gift to his or her spouse, to any of his or her lineal descendants or ancestors, to any trust for the benefit of any one or more of such Investor, his or her spouse or his or her lineal descendants or ancestors, or to a charitable remainder trust (provided such Investor retains a life interest in the Shares transferred to such charitable remainder trust), (ii) each Investor who is an individual may transfer all or any of his Shares by will or the laws of descent and distribution, (iii) each Investor which is a trust, family limited partnership or similar entity created solely for the benefit of any individual and his or her spouse, siblings and lineal ancestors and

descendents, may transfer all or any of its Shares to such individual and/or his or her spouse, siblings, lineal ancestors and descendents, (iv) each Investor which is a fund or other business entity may transfer all or any of its Shares to any fund or other business entity (A) under common control with such Investor or (B) which controls such Investor or is controlled by such Investor, (v) each Investor which is a trust may transfer all or any of its Shares to any successor trust or successor trustee, (vi) in connection with any sale by any Investor of Shares which has been approved by the Required Preferred Investors, each other Investor may transfer all or any Shares of such other Investor pursuant to the exercise of such other Investor’s “tag-along” rights under Section 4 or 5, as applicable, and (vii) any sales of Shares pursuant to Section 10 or Section 11 may be made without regard to the restrictions contained in this Agreement; provided that any such transferee under clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) of this Section 2(a) (referred to herein as “Permitted Transferees”) and all other transferees of Shares not already a party to this Agreement shall agree in writing with the Company and the transferor Investor, for the benefit of all of the Investors, as a condition to such transfer, to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if such transferee were such Investor transferring such Shares.
(b) In addition to the foregoing, if requested by the underwriters and the Company’s Board of Directors for any underwritten public offering of securities of the Company, each Investor who is not a party to that certain Sixth Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, as amended (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company and certain Investors shall agree not to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any of his, her or its Shares, without the written consent of such underwriters, for a period of not more than (i) 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement relating to the initial public offering of securities of the Company and (ii) ninety (90) days following the effective date of the registration statement relating to any subsequent underwritten public offering of securities of the Company. This Section 2(b) shall expressly survive a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 15(a) hereof.
3. Right of First Refusal on Dispositions.
(a) If at any time any Investor other than Bain or Summit (the “Selling Investor”) desires to sell or otherwise transfer all or any part of his, her or its Shares pursuant to a bona fide offer from a third party (the “Proposed Transferee”), other than sales subject to the provisions of Section 5 or Section 10 hereof, such Selling Investor shall, following the receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Preferred Investors, submit a written offer (the “Offer”) to the Company and to the Investors other than the Selling Investor (the “Offerees”), to sell such Shares (the “Offered Shares”) to the Company and the Offerees on terms and conditions, including price, not less favorable than those on which such Selling Investor proposes to sell such Offered Shares to the Proposed Transferee. The Offer shall disclose the identity of the Proposed Transferee, the
7
number of Offered Shares proposed to be sold, the total number of Shares owned by such Selling Investor, the terms and conditions, including price, of the proposed sale, and any other material facts relating to the proposed sale. The Offer shall further state (i) that the Company may acquire, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, any of the Offered Shares for the price and upon the other terms and conditions set forth therein, (ii) if all such Offered Shares are not purchased by the Company, the Offerees may purchase any of the Offered Shares not purchased by the Company for the price and upon the other terms and conditions set forth therein, and (iii) if all of the Offered Shares are not purchased by the Company and the Offerees, the Major Investors may exercise their rights provided pursuant to Section 4 hereof.
(b) The Company has fifteen (15) business days to accept the Offer. In the event that (i) the Company does not give notice within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the Offer of its intention to purchase all of the Offered Shares or (ii) gives notice to the Selling Investor of its intention to acquire less than all of the Offered Shares, the Company and the Selling Investor shall give notice to the Offerees (a “Offeree Notice”), each Offeree shall have the right to purchase that number of Offered Shares not purchased by the Company as shall be equal to the number of such Offered Shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (on an as converted, as exercised basis) then owned by such Offeree and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (on an as converted, as exercised basis) then owned by all of the Offerees. The amount of such Offered Shares that each Offeree is entitled to purchase under this Section 3(b) shall be referred to as its “Pro Rata Fraction.” Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that, if not for this sentence, Summit’s Pro Rata Fraction would be greater than Bain’s Pro Rata Fraction, the Investor’s respective Pro Rata Fraction shall be calculated as if Bain owned the same number of shares of Common Stock (on an as converted, as exercised basis) as Summit; provided that, with respect to such calculation, Summit’s ownership of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) shall not be counted for purposes of determining Bain’s new Pro Rata Fraction.
(c) The Offerees shall have a right of oversubscription such that if any Offeree fails to accept the Offer as to its full Pro Rata Fraction, the remaining Offerees shall, among them, have the right to purchase up to the balance of the remaining Offered Shares not so purchased. The Offerees may exercise such right of oversubscription by accepting the Offer for the remaining Offered Shares as to more than their Pro Rata Fraction. If, as a result thereof, such oversubscriptions exceed the total number of the Offered Shares available in respect of such oversubscription privilege, the oversubscribing Investors shall be cut back with respect to oversubscriptions on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Fractions or as they may otherwise agree among themselves.
8
(d) Those Offerees who desire to purchase all or any part of the remaining Offered Shares shall communicate in writing their election to purchase to the Selling Investor, which communication shall state the number of remaining Offered Shares said Offerees desire to purchase and shall be provided to the Selling Investor within ten (10) business days of the date of the Offeree Notice. Such communication shall, when taken in conjunction with the Offer, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of such Offered Shares (subject to the aforesaid limitations as to the right of the Offerees to purchase more than their Pro Rata Fraction). Sales of such Offered Shares to be sold to the Company and the Offerees pursuant to this Section 3 shall be made at the offices of the Company within sixty (60) days following the date the Offer was made.
(e) The right of first refusal pursuant to this Section 3 shall not apply with respect to sales of Shares by an Investor to a Permitted Transferee.
(f) To the extent that compliance with the right of first refusal obligations set forth in this Section 3 would result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) by First Plaza Group Trust or any successor thereto or permitted assignee or transferee thereof (together “First Plaza Group Trust”), the right of first refusal set forth in this Section 3 shall not apply to such proposed sale or other transfer by First Plaza Group Trust; provided, however, First Plaza Group Trust shall not effect such proposed sale or other transfer without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors.
4. Major Investors’ Right of Participation in Sales.
(a) If, following compliance with the provisions of Section 3, the Company, the Offerees or both do not purchase all of the Offered Shares and the Selling Investor desires to sell such remaining Offered Shares to the Proposed Transferee, then each Major Investor shall have the right to sell to the Proposed Transferee, as a condition to such sale by such Selling Investor, at the same price per share and on the same terms and conditions as involved in such sale by such Selling Investor, a pro rata portion of the amount of Shares proposed to be sold to the Proposed Transferee; provided, however, that such right shall not apply to any sale or transfer to the Company or the Investors pursuant to Section 3. The “pro rata portion” of Shares which the Major Investor shall be entitled to sell to the Proposed Transferee shall be that number of Shares as shall equal the number of Shares proposed to be sold to the third party by such Selling Investor multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate of all shares of Common Stock (on an as converted, as exercised basis) which are then held by the Major Investor wishing to participate in the sale, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of all shares of Common Stock (on an as converted, as exercised basis) which are then held by all Major Investors wishing to participate in any sale under this Section 4 plus the Shares held by the Selling Investor.
9
(b) If the Selling Investor wishes to make a sale to a Proposed Transferee which is subject to this Section 4, the Selling Investor shall, after complying with the provisions of Section 3, give to each Major Investor notice of such proposed sale, and stating that all Offered Shares were not purchased pursuant to the Offer as discussed in Section 3. Such notice shall be given at least twenty (20) business days prior to the date of the proposed sale to the Proposed Transferee. Each Major Investor wishing to so participate in any sale under this Section 4 shall notify the Selling Investor in writing of such intention within fifteen (15) business days after such Major Investor’s receipt of the notice described in the preceding sentence.
(c) The Selling Investor and each participating Major Investor shall sell to the Proposed Transferee all, or at the option of the Proposed Transferee, any part of such remaining Offered Shares proposed to be sold by them at the price and on the terms contained in the Offeree Notice; provided, however, that any purchase of less than all of such remaining Offered Shares by the Proposed Transferee shall be made from the Selling Investor and each participating Major Investor pro rata based upon the relative number of the Shares that the Selling Investor and each participating Major Investor is otherwise entitled to sell pursuant to Section 4(a).
(d) If any Shares are sold pursuant to this Section 4 to any Person who is not a party to this Agreement, such Person shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement, agreeing to be treated as an “Investor” for the purposes of this Agreement, as a precondition to the purchase of such Shares and such Shares shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
(e) To the extent that the Company and the Major Investors do not elect in full to exercise their rights pursuant to Sections 3 and 4, the Selling Investor may transfer, subject to compliance with Section 4(d), all, but not less than all, of the remaining Offered Shares to the Proposed Transferee within sixty (60) days at the price and on the terms contained in the Offeree Notice. Any remaining Offered Shares not so sold within such 60-day period shall be subject to the requirements of a prior offer pursuant to Sections 3 and 4, as applicable.
(f) The right to participate in sales pursuant to this Section 4 shall not apply with respect to sales of Shares by an Investor to a Permitted Transferee.
5. Investors’ Right of Participation in Certain Sales.
(a) If at any time prior to the initial public offering of the Company’s equity securities pursuant to a registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, one or more of the Major Investors desire to sell at least a majority of the Shares held by all Major Investors (on an as converted, as exercised basis) to any third party (which, for purposes of clarification, shall not include the Company) (which sale shall require prior written consent of the Required Preferred Investors), then each other Investor
10
shall have the right to sell to the third party (without written consent of the Required Preferred Investors), as a condition to such sale by the Major Investors, at the same price per share and on the same terms and conditions as involved in such sale by the Major Investors, a pro rata portion of the amount of Shares proposed to be sold to the third party. The “pro rata portion” of Shares which each other Investor shall be entitled to sell to the third party shall be that number of Shares as shall equal the number of Shares (on an as converted, as exercised basis) proposed to be sold to the third party by the Major Investors desiring to sell multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate of all Shares (on an as converted, as exercised basis) which are then held by the Investor wishing to participate in the sale, and the denominator of which is the aggregate of all Shares (on an as converted, as exercised basis) which are then held by all Investors wishing to participate in any sale under this Section 5 plus the Shares held by the Major Investors desiring to sell.
(b) If any of the Major Investors wishes to make a sale to a third party which is subject to this Section 5, such Major Investor shall give to the Company and each other Investor notice of such proposed sale. Such notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the proposed sale to the third party. Each Investor wishing to so participate in any sale under this Section 5 shall notify the Major Investors desiring to sell in writing of such intention within fifteen (15) business days after such Investor’s receipt of the notice described in the preceding sentence.
(c) The participating Major Investors and each participating other Investor shall sell to the third party all, or at the option of the third party, any part of the Shares proposed to be sold by them at not less than the price and upon other terms and conditions, if any, not more favorable to the third party than those in the notice provided by the participating Major Investors under subparagraph (b) above; provided, however, that any purchase of less than all of such Shares by the third party shall be made from the participating Major Investors and each participating other Investor pro rata based upon the relative number of the Shares that the participating Major Investors and each participating other Investor is otherwise entitled to sell pursuant to Section 5(a).
(d) If any Shares are sold pursuant to this Section 5 to any Person who is not a party to this Agreement, such Person shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement, agreeing to be treated as an “Investor” for the purposes of this Agreement, as a precondition to the purchase of such Shares and such Shares shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
(e) If no Investor elects to exercise his, her or its rights pursuant to Section 5, the participating Major Investors may transfer, subject to compliance with Section 5(d), the Shares proposed to be sold by them to the third party within sixty (60) days on terms and conditions no more favorable than outlined in the notice to the other Investors. Any remaining Shares not sold within such 60-day period shall be subject to the requirements of a prior offer pursuant to Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof, as applicable.
11
(f) The right to participate in sales pursuant to this Section 5 shall not apply with respect to sales of Shares by a Major Investor to a Permitted Transferee.
6. Preemptive Rights. The Company shall, prior to any proposed issuance by the Company of any of its securities (other than debt securities with no equity feature), offer to each Major Investor by written notice the right, for a period of ten (10) business days (the “Preemptive Purchase Period”), to purchase for cash at an amount equal to the price or other consideration for which such securities are to be issued, a number of such securities so that, after giving effect to such issuance (and the conversion, exercise and exchange into or for (whether directly or indirectly) shares of Common Stock of all such securities that are so convertible, exercisable or exchangeable), such Major Investor will continue to maintain his, her or its same proportionate equity ownership in the Company as of the date of such notice (treating each Major Investor, for the purpose of such computation, as the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable to such Major Investor upon conversion, exercise and exchange of all securities (including but not limited to the Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock) held by such Major Investor on the date such offer is made, that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into or for (whether directly or indirectly) shares of Common Stock and assuming the like conversion, exercise and exchange of all such other securities held by other Persons); provided, however, that the rights of the Major Investors pursuant to this Section 6 shall not apply to securities issued (A) upon conversion of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, (B) as a stock dividend or upon any subdivision of shares of Common Stock, provided that the securities issued pursuant to such stock dividend or subdivision are limited to additional shares of Common Stock, (C) pursuant to subscriptions, warrants, options, convertible securities, or other rights which are listed in Schedule I as being outstanding on the date of this Agreement, (D) solely in consideration for the acquisition (whether by merger or otherwise) by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of any other entity which is not an Affiliate of an Investor and provided that the transaction is approved by the Required Preferred Investors as required pursuant to the Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended and restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Charter”), (E) pursuant to a firm commitment underwritten public offering, (F) to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company pursuant to the Company’s stock plans (or securities issued or issuable upon exercise thereof) as may be approved from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and, if applicable, by the Required Preferred Investors as required pursuant to the Charter, and (G) upon the exercise of any security described in paragraphs (A) through (F) of this proviso. The Company’s written notice to the Major Investors shall describe the securities proposed to be issued by the Company and specify the number, price and payment terms. Each Major Investor may accept the Company’s offer as to the full number of securities offered to him, her or it or any lesser number, by written notice thereof given to the Company prior to the expiration of the aforesaid ten (10) business day period, in which event the Company shall promptly sell and such Major Investor shall promptly, and in
12
any event within fifteen (15) business days, buy, upon the terms specified, the number of securities agreed to be purchased by such Major Investor. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6, the Company shall be free at any time prior to 120 days after the date of its notice of offer to the Major Investors, to offer and sell to any third party or parties the remainder of such securities proposed to be issued by the Company (including but not limited to the securities not agreed by the Major Investors to be purchased by them), at a price and on payment terms no less favorable to the Company than those specified in such notice of offer to the Major Investors. If such third party sale or sales are not consummated within such 120-day period, however, the Company shall not sell such securities as shall not have been purchased within such period without again complying with this Section 6. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 6, in the event that, if not for this sentence, the amount of any securities that Summit would be entitled to purchase pursuant to this Section 6 in connection with any issuance of securities by the Company is greater than the amount of securities that Bain would be entitled to purchase in connection with such issuance, then the amount of securities that the Major Investors shall be entitled to purchase in connection with such issuance shall be calculated as if Bain owned the same number of shares of Common Stock (on an as converted, as exercised basis) as Summit; provided that, with respect to such calculation, Summit’s ownership of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) shall not be counted for purposes of determining Bain’s new Pro Rata Fraction. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Major Investor shall be permitted to assign its rights under this Section 6 to an Affiliate of such Major Investor, provided that any such assignee not already a party to this Agreement shall agree in writing with the Company and such Major Investor, for the benefit of all of the Investors, as a condition to such assignment, to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if such transferee were such Major Investor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, in the event (x) the Company proposes to issue securities for the purpose of financing an acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any other entity whose principal place of business is located in a European country, which opportunity is identified and brought to the attention of the Company by Advent, and (y) any Major Investor does not exercise its right to purchase such amount of securities as it is entitled to purchase under this Section 6 within the Preemptive Purchase Period, then, for a period of ten (10) business days after the end of the Preemptive Purchase Period, Advent will have the right to purchase for cash up to fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of securities that all Major Investors have chosen not to purchase, which may be exercised by written notice thereof given to the Company prior to the expiration of the aforesaid ten (10) business day period, in which event the Company shall promptly sell and Advent shall promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) business days, buy, upon the terms specified, the number of securities agreed to be purchased by Advent; provided that in the event there is a dispute among the Major Investors regarding the fulfillment of condition (x), such dispute shall be determined in the sole judgment of the chief executive officer of the Company.
7. Election of Directors. At each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and at each special meeting of the stockholders of the Company called for the purpose of electing directors of the Company, and at any time at which stockholders of
13
the Company shall have the right to, or shall, vote for directors of the Company, then, and in each event, the Investors shall vote all Shares owned by them and entitled to vote thereon for the election of a Board of Directors consisting of ten (10) directors, and for the persons designated in the manner provided below:

The one (1) director to be elected by the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (currently being Ronald F.

In the case of any vacancy in the office of a director elected by the holders of any of the Company’s capital stock voting as a separate class or together as a single class pursuant to Sections 7(a) or 7(b) hereof, then the holders of such class shall have the exclusive right to elect a successor or successors to hold office for the unexpired term of the director or directors whose office or offices shall be vacant.
(d) Advent Board Observer. In addition to the Advent Director, Advent shall be entitled to designate one (1) person to act as a board observer (the “Advent Observer”).

Advent shall be entitled at any time and from time to time, by giving written notice thereof to the Company’s Board of Directors, to remove and replace the Advent Observer with another person designated by Advent. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 7(d), the Company shall have the right to exclude the Advent Observer from access to any meeting or portion thereof or any material (i) if the Company believes upon written advice of counsel that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege to protect proprietary information or for other similar reasons or (ii) at the sole discretion of the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors.
8. Board Committees; Board Matters. The Investors shall take all actions, including without limitation, the voting of all their Shares, to cause the provisions of this Section 8 to be satisfied.
(a) Compensation Committee. There shall be established at all times during the term of this Agreement a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) which shall be comprised of four (4) directors as follows: one (1) of whom shall be one of the Summit Non-Independent Directors, as selected by Summit; one (1) of whom shall be one of the Bain Non-Independent Directors, as selected by Bain; one (1) of whom shall be one of either the Summit Independent Director or the Bain Independent Director, as selected by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and approved by Bain and Summit; and one (1) of whom shall be one of the directors designated pursuant to Section 7(b).

The compensation of senior employees and consultants shall be reviewed by the
15
Compensation Committee on an annual basis. The decision by a majority of the disinterested members of the Compensation Committee will control the Compensation Committee’s actions.
(b) Audit Committee. There shall be established at all times during the term of this Agreement an Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) which shall be comprised of four (4) directors as follows: one (1) of whom shall be one of the Summit Non-Independent Directors, as selected by Summit; one (1) of whom shall be one of the Bain Non-Independent Directors, as selected by Bain; one (1) of whom shall be one of either the Summit Independent Director or the Bain Independent Director, as selected by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and approved by Bain and Summit; and one (1) of whom shall be one of the directors designated pursuant to Section 7(b). The Audit Committee shall determine the Company’s audit policies, review audit reports and recommendations made by the Company’s internal audit staff and its independent auditors, meet with the Company’s independent auditors, oversee the independent auditors, and recommend the Company’s engagement of independent auditors. The decision by a majority of the disinterested members of the Audit Committee will control the Audit Committee’s actions.
(c) Additional Committees. The formation and composition of any new committee of the Board of Directors shall be unanimously approved by (1) the Bain Non-Independent Directors and (2) the Summit Non-Independent Directors. Each of Bain and Summit shall be permitted to designate one (1) director to serve on the Acquisition Committee.

(f) Observation Right. The Company shall permit each Major Investor who does not otherwise have an Affiliate designated as a director to have one (1) representative attend each meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company and each meeting of any committee thereof; provided, however, that the Series E Purchasers together shall have the right to only one such observer as a result of their status as Series E Purchasers, which such observer shall be determined by the majority in interest of the Series E Purchasers, and the Series E Purchasers shall have a right to have such observer regardless of whether one or more Series E Purchaser otherwise has an Affiliate designated as a director. The Company shall send to each such Major Investor the notice of the time and place of such meeting in the same manner and at the same time as it shall send such
16
notice to its directors or committee members, as the case may be. The Company shall also provide to each such Major Investor copies of all notices, reports, minutes and consents at the time and in the manner as they are provided to the Board of Directors or any committee thereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8(f), the Company shall have the right to exclude any such Major Investor or representative thereof from access to any meeting or portion thereof or any material if the Company believes upon advice of counsel that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege, to protect proprietary information or for other similar reasons.
9. Insurance. The Company shall at all times maintain for the benefit of its officers and directors liability insurance in scope and amount, and from an insurer, reasonably acceptable to the Major Investors holding a majority of the Shares held by all Major Investors.
10. Drag-Along Rights.
(a) If the Required Preferred Investors shall vote to enter into, or otherwise intend to enter into, or request that the Company enter into, an agreement that contemplates the sale of a majority of all of the Shares (on an as converted, as exercised basis) to any Person or group of Persons who are not affiliated with any of the Preferred Investors (including by way of merger of the Company with another entity resulting in any such Person or group of Persons owning more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the entity surviving such merger), then such Required Preferred Investors may require that each Investor sell its “pro rata portion” of the Shares owned by such Investor, to such Person or group of Persons at the same price per share and on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the proposed sale by such Required Preferred Investors and/or vote such securities in favor of such a transaction, provided that the Investors shall not be required in connection with any such transaction to make any representation, warranty or covenant other than a representation as to the Investors’ power and authority to effect such sale and as to the Investors’ title to the securities to be sold by them. Each Investor hereby grants to each of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Summit Non-Independent Directors and the Bain Non-Independent Directors, acting singly, an irrevocable proxy, coupled with an interest, to vote all Shares owned by such Investor and to take such other actions to the extent necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 12 in the event of any breach by such Investor of its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
(b) In the event a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors and the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock (determined on an as converted, as exercised basis but without giving effect in the numerator or the denominator to any Shares owned by Bain), including at least a majority of the Shares owned by Summit (such approving stockholders referred to as the “Requisite Stockholders”), seek a sale of the Company to a third party, such Requisite Stockholders (or their representative) may deliver to Bain in writing a
17
notice (the “Sale Notice”) specifying a price per share of Common Stock (on an as converted, as exercised basis) at which the Requisite Stockholders are willing to sell the Company for cash (the “Agreed Price”). Bain shall within forty-five (45) days of receiving the Sale Notice from the Requisite Holders irrevocably agree in writing (such agreement, the “Sale Election”) to either (i) purchase for cash all of the Shares not owned by Bain at the Agreed Price (to be consummated within ninety (90) days of the date of the Sale Election) or (ii) participate in a sale of the Company for cash (including voting its Shares in favor of such a transaction, if applicable) at a price per share of Common Stock (on an as converted, as exercised basis) that equals or exceeds the greater of (A) the Agreed Price or (B) $13.00 plus accrued but unpaid dividends per share of Series D-4 Preferred Stock, as appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends or similar changes. Between the date on which Bain receives the Sale Notice and the later of the date on which Bain (y) purchases all of the Shares pursuant to clause (i) above or (z) agrees (or is deemed to agree) to participate in a sale pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company and the Investors (I) will provide Bain and its representatives with such information regarding the business, assets, financial condition, income and prospects, and access to the sites, properties, books and records, of the Company as Bain may reasonably request, (II) will afford Bain and its representatives the opportunity to meet with management of the Company to discuss the business and affairs of the Company and (III) will otherwise cooperate in good faith with Bain in connection with the election by Bain under the immediately preceding sentence and, if applicable, the consummation of a purchase of all the Shares pursuant to clause (i) above and the arrangement of financing for such purchase (including participating in meetings, drafting sessions and due diligence sessions, furnishing to Bain and its financing sources such financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company as Bain may reasonably request, assisting Bain and its financing sources in the preparation of offering documents and materials for rating agency presentations, cooperating with the marketing efforts of Bain and its financing sources and providing and executing such documents, and taking such other actions, as Bain and its financing sources may reasonably request, in each case in connection with the financing for such purchase). If Bain shall fail to provide the Sale Election within forty-five (45) days after receipt by Bain of the Sale Notice, Bain shall be deemed to have agreed to participate in a sale pursuant to clause (ii). The terms of any such purchase under clause (i) shall contain no representations, warranties or covenants of the Company or the Investors except as to power and authority to enter into the transaction, capitalization and, in the case of the Investors if applicable, title of the securities to be sold by them. Bain’s agreement to participate in a sale of the Company pursuant to clause (ii) shall provide that definitive documentation with respect to such transaction shall be executed and delivered within six (6) months of receiving the Sale Notice from the Requisite Stockholders and that such transaction shall be closed within nine (9) months of receiving the Sale Notice from the Requisite Stockholders. Each Investor other than Bain shall also be required to sell all shares owned by it (aa) to Bain at the Agreed Price, in the event of a sale pursuant to clause (i) above, and (bb) to the
18
third party in the transaction contemplated by clause (ii) above, in the event of a sale pursuant to clause (ii) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10(b), the Requisite Stockholders shall not have the right to deliver (or cause their representative to deliver) to Bain more than one (1) Sale Notice during any period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months.
(c) In order to exercise the rights under Section 10(a), the Required Preferred Investors must give notice to the Investors not less than fifteen (15) business days prior to the proposed date upon which the contemplated transaction is to be effected. In addition, the Required Preferred Investors shall furnish to the Investors all such agreements, documents and instruments to be executed in connection with such transaction and shall afford the Investors a reasonable period of time (but in any event not less than ten (10) business days) within which to review such agreements, documents and instruments.
(d) To the extent that compliance with the drag-along obligations set forth in this Section 10 would result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code by First Plaza Group Trust because such compliance would result in a non-exempt sale or other transfer to a “party in interest” or “disqualified person” (within the meaning of ERISA and the Code, respectively) of First Plaza Group Trust, the drag-along obligations set forth in this Section 10 shall not apply to such proposed sale or other transfer by First Plaza Group Trust.
11. Sale of the Company.
(a) At any time on or after December 31, 2011, any Specified Investor may, at its option, give the Company a notice (each, a “Company Sale Notice”) to the effect that such Specified Investor desires to seek a sale of the Company. Upon receipt of any Company Sale Notice, the Company shall take all reasonable actions (including the engagement of an investment banker), and shall use its best efforts, to consummate a Company Sale Transaction as soon as practicable under the circumstances and in any event within six (6) months after receipt by the Company of such Company Sale Notice.
(b) To facilitate the consummation of a Company Sale Transaction pursuant to this Section 11, the Company shall cooperate with its investment banker in setting up an orderly sale process pursuant to which the investment banker shall market, and accept bids to purchase, the Company; provided that no such bid may be accepted from an Affiliate of any Specified Investor. Upon receipt by the Company’s investment banker of bids to purchase the Company, the Company and the Specified Investors shall review such bids with the Company’s investment banker, and each Specified Investor shall notify the Company and its investment banker as to which, if any such bid, such Specified Investor would like the Company to accept. If (i) any Specified Investor desires that the Company accept any bid and (ii) the other Specified Investor also desires that the Company accept such bid, then the Company shall accept such bid. If
19
(A) any Specified Investor desires that the Company accept any bid and (B) the other Specified Investor desires that the Company not accept any bid, then the Company shall accept the bid specified by such Specified Investor pursuant to clause (A) of this sentence. If (1) any Specified Investor desires that the Company accept any bid and (2) the other Specified Investor desires that the Company accept any other bid, then the Company (y) shall cause its investment banker to determine which of the two bids specified by the Specified Investors pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) of this sentence is more favorable to the stockholders of the Company and (z) shall accept such bid. If neither Specified Investor desires that the Company accept any bid, then the Company shall not accept any bid.
(c) If, pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 11, the Company accepts any bid, then:
(i) the Company shall, through its Board of Directors, recommend to each equity holder of the Company that such equity holder: (A) if necessary, approve, and vote in favor of, the Company Sale Transaction contemplated by such bid; (B) sell his, her or its equity interests in the Company pursuant to the Company Sale Transaction contemplated by such bid on the same terms and conditions as the Specified Investors are selling their respective equity interests in the Company pursuant to such Company Sale Transaction; provided, however, that the consideration received in such Company Sale Transaction shall be distributed among the equity holders of the Company in accordance with Section 3 of Article FOUR of the Charter; and (C) execute and deliver such documents, and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the sale of the Company pursuant to the Company Sale Transaction contemplated by such bid; provided, however, that no equity holder of the Company shall be required to make any representation, warranty or covenant in connection with such Company Sale Transaction except for representations as to (1) such equity holder’s power and authority to effect such sale and (2) such equity holder’s title to the securities to be sold by such equity holder;
(ii) each Investor: (A) shall, if necessary, approve, and vote in favor of, the Company Sale Transaction contemplated by such bid; (B) sell his, her or its Shares pursuant to the Company Sale Transaction contemplated by such bid on the same terms and conditions as the Specified Investors are selling their respective Shares in the Company pursuant to such Company Sale Transaction; provided, however, that the consideration received in such Company Sale Transaction shall be distributed among the equity holders of the Company in accordance with Section 3 of Article FOUR of the Charter; and (C) execute and deliver such documents, and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the sale of the Company pursuant to the Company Sale Transaction contemplated by such bid; provided, however, that no
20
Investor shall be required to make any representation, warranty or covenant in connection with such Company Sale Transaction except for representations as to (1) such Investor’s power and authority to effect such sale and (2) such Investor’s title to the Shares to be sold by such Investor; and
(iii) each Specified Investor may give a Company Sale Notice to the Company on any number of occasions under this Section 11; provided, however, that in no event shall such Specified Investor give a Company Sale Notice to the Company more than once during any period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months.
(d) Each Investor hereby grants to each of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Summit Non-Independent Directors, the Bain Non-Independent Directors and the Specified Investors, acting singly, an irrevocable proxy, coupled with an interest, to vote all Shares owned by such Investor, and to take such other actions as may be necessary on behalf of such Investor, to carry out the provisions of this Section 11 and Section 12 in the event of any breach by such Investor of his, her or its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
(d) To the extent that compliance with the sale obligations set forth in this Section 11 would result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code by First Plaza Group Trust because such compliance would result in a non-exempt sale or other transfer to a “party in interest” or “disqualified person” (within the meaning of ERISA and the Code, respectively) of First Plaza Group Trust, the sale obligations set forth in this Section 11 shall not apply to such proposed sale or other transfer by First Plaza Group Trust.
12. Voting Agreement. Each Investor agrees that, prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 15 hereof, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company or in any action taken by the written consent of stockholders of the Company without a meeting, or in connection with any consent, approval, waiver or modification of this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, or with respect to an election or right under the Charter, each Investor will vote the Shares held by it in accordance with the terms contained in this Agreement and for any action required in furtherance hereof. Prior to the termination of this Agreement, no Investor will enter into any agreement or understanding with any Person to vote or give instructions in any manner inconsistent with this Section 12.
