2.2. Transfers.

(a) Permitted Transfers. From the Closing or, the Distribution if the Exchange Shares are issued to the Contributor, until immediately prior to the closing of the Initial Offering, no Transfer of Shares by an Investor shall be permitted, other than the following Transfers, each of which are subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2 and Section 6:

(ii) From the Closing or, the Distribution if the Exchange Shares are issued to the Contributor, and until such time as such Shares have been sold to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from such registration, all certificates (if any) representing Shares that are held by any Investor shall bear a legend which shall state the following:

 

-2-


“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND NO INTEREST HEREIN MAY BE SOLD, OFFERED, ASSIGNED, DISTRIBUTED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (A) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING ANY SUCH TRANSACTION OR (B) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY STATING THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (C) THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL ARE OTHERWISE SATISFIED THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

(iii) Any proposed Transfer by an Investor of all or a part of its Shares shall be subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 2.2. Any such Transfer under this Section 2.2 shall be permitted only if the transferee agrees (in a writing or writings in form and substance satisfactory to the board of managers of the Contributor (the “Contributor Board” and each such person, a “Manager”)) to be bound by the obligations set forth in this Agreement to the same extent as the transferor.

(iv) Any attempted Transfer of Shares in violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio and of no effect.

(c) Right of First Offer.

(i) If, at any time prior to the consummation of the Initial Offering, an Investor wishes to Transfer any Shares (“ROFO Offered Shares”) to any Person (other than in a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee), such Investor must first comply with the process described in this Section 2.2(c) (the “ROFO Process”) by offering such ROFO Offered Shares to each other Investor pursuant to the ROFO Process (such offer, a “ROFO Offer”).

(ii) An Investor intending to initiate the ROFO Process (a “ROFO Transferor”) must provide written notice to each other Investor of such intent (the “ROFO Offer Notice”), which ROFO Offer Notice shall include an offer to sell ROFO Offered Shares to each other Investor (the “ROFO Offerees”) and shall specify the number of ROFO Offered Shares proposed to be sold, the terms and conditions of the proposed sale, including the proposed sale price (the “Specified Price”) and a reasonably detailed description of any other material terms and conditions or material facts relating to the proposed sale. The ROFO Transferor shall provide to the ROFO Offerees promptly all such other information relating to the ROFO Offered Shares and the proposed sale as they may reasonably request.

(iii) Each ROFO Offeree shall have the right, exercisable within ten (10) days of delivery to it of the ROFO Offer Notice by the ROFO Transferor (the “ROFO Period”) to accept a ROFO Offer by accepting for purchase up to a number of such ROFO Offered Shares pro rata based on ROFO Offeree’s percentage ownership of Exchange Shares held by all ROFO Offerees and their Affiliates at the time of such ROFO Offer (such number of ROFO Offered Shares allocated for a ROFO Offeree’s right to accept a ROFO

 

-3-


Offer, the “Allotted ROFO Shares”) and also to accept for purchase all or a portion of such ROFO Offered Shares that have not been accepted for purchase by each other ROFO Offeree (such election to purchase a number of Shares more than the Allotted ROFO Shares, the “Over-Allotment Election”). If more than one ROFO Offeree makes an Over-Allotment Election (the aggregate amount of Shares elected to be purchased under an Over-Allotment Election, the “Aggregate Over-Allotted Shares”) such that the Aggregate Over-Allotted Shares exceeds the actual number of remaining ROFO Offered Shares for purchase, then each ROFO Offeree that made an Over-Allotment Election shall be allocated a number of Shares from the number of Aggregate Over-Allotted Shares pro rata among all ROFO Offerees based on each such ROFO Offeree’s Over-Allotment Election. The ROFO Offeree(s) that accept such ROFO Offer within the ROFO Period (the “Purchasing ROFO Offerees”) shall acquire such ROFO Offered Shares within forty-five (45) days of the end of the ROFO Period, which forty-five (45) day period shall be extended to up to a sixty (60) day period to the extent reasonably required to comply with any applicable HSR Act or other regulatory requirements.

(iv) If the ROFO Offerees do not collectively accept the ROFO Offer made by the ROFO Transferor with respect to all of the ROFO Offered Shares within the ROFO Period, then the ROFO Transferor shall have the right, for a period of ninety (90) days after the termination of the ROFO Period or any earlier rejection of the ROFO Offer by all ROFO Offerees, to sell the remaining ROFO Offered Shares at a net price (taking into account any fees, purchase discounts or other consideration) not less than the Specified Price, and on other terms and conditions not more favorable to the transferee(s) in any material respect than the terms set forth in the ROFO Offer Notice, to transferee(s) who agree (in a writing or writings in form and substance satisfactory to the other Investors) to be bound by this Agreement to the same extent as the transferor. Any ROFO Offered Shares not sold within such ninety (90) day period shall again be subject to the requirements of this Section 2.2(c) in connection with any subsequent sale.

(v) For purposes of this Section 2.2(c), each ROFO Offeree may elect to purchase ROFO Offered Shares either directly or through one or more Affiliated Funds or Affiliates. Any proration and other calculations for each ROFO Offeree and its respective Affiliated Funds and Affiliates shall be made on a basis that aggregates the Shares held by each ROFO Offeree with the Shares held by such ROFO Offeree’s Affiliated Funds and Affiliates.

(vi) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.2(c) does not apply to any Transfer by any Investor in connection with a transaction approved by the Board of the Company in which each Investor has a right to participate on the same terms and that, as a result of the consummation of such transaction (either by any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other entity or any other transaction), holders of Company Common Shares immediately prior to such transaction would no longer own Company Common Shares representing a majority of the voting power of the Company or other surviving entity.

(d) Tag-Along Rights.

(i) Prior to an Initial Offering, subject to first complying with the Right of First Offer provisions of Section 2.2(c) (if applicable), an Investor may Transfer its Exchange Shares to any other Person provided that, if such Transfer is to a person who is not a Permitted Transferee of such Investor, such Investor provides each other Investor an

 

-4-


opportunity to participate on a pro rata basis, on equivalent terms and conditions, in such Transfer as described in this Section 2.2(d). With respect to any such proposed Transfer prior to any Initial Offering (other than a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee) by an Investor (or by any Affiliated Fund or Affiliate of such Investor) (each, a “Selling Investor”) of the Exchange Shares to any Person other than to such Selling Investor’s Permitted Transferee (any such Transfer, a “Proposed Sale), each other Investor who exercises its rights under this Section 2.2(d) (each a “Tagging Investor”) shall have the right to include in the Proposed Sale to the proposed transferee(s) (the “Proposed Transferee”) on the same terms and conditions as applicable to the sale of Exchange Shares in the Proposed Sale a number of its own Exchange Shares not to exceed (x) the aggregate number of Exchange Shares held by the Tagging Investor and Permitted Transferees multiplied by (y) a fraction of which the numerator is the number of Exchange Shares of the Selling Investor proposed to be included in the Proposed Sale and the denominator is the aggregate number of the Exchange Shares owned by the Selling Investor; provided, that in order to be entitled to exercise its right to sell Exchange Shares to the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 2.2(d), each Tagging Investor, if requested by the Selling Investor or the Proposed Transferee, shall be required (as a condition to participating in such Transfer to (x) agree to the same covenants as the Selling Investor agrees to in connection with the Proposed Sale, (y) join on a pro rata basis (based on the proceeds received by such Tagging Investor compared with the proceeds received by the Selling Investor and all Tagging Investors in connection with the Proposed Sale) in any indemnification that the Selling Investor agrees to provide in connection with the Proposed Sale (other than in connection with obligations that relate to a particular Investor, such as representations and warranties concerning itself or the Exchange Shares to be transferred by it, for which each Investor shall agree to be solely responsible, and provided that the liability for any indemnification to be provided by such Selling Investor and Tagging Investor shall not exceed, in each case, the total net consideration (i.e. the total gross consideration after deduction for Costs (as defined below)) received by such Selling Investor or Tagging Investor for its Exchange Shares in respect of such Proposed Sale), and (z) make such representations and warranties concerning itself and the Exchange Shares to be sold by it in connection with such Transfer as the Selling Investor makes with respect to itself and its Shares.

(ii) Each Tagging Investor shall be responsible for funding its proportionate share (based on the proceeds received by such Tagging Investor compared with the proceeds received in the aggregate in connection with the Proposed Sale) of any adjustment in purchase price or escrow arrangements in connection with the Proposed Sale and for its proportionate share of any withdrawals from any such escrow, including any such withdrawals that are made with respect to claims arising out of agreements, covenants, representations, warranties or other provisions relating to the Proposed Sale (subject to the limitations of Section 2.2(d)(i)).

(iii) Each Tagging Investor shall be responsible for its proportionate share (based on the proceeds received by such Tagging Investor compared with the proceeds received in the aggregate in connection with the Proposed Sale) of the fees, commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses (collectively, “Costs”) of the Proposed Sale to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company, the Proposed Transferee or another Person (other than the Selling Investor); provided, that the liability for such Costs (together with indemnity liability as contemplated by clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.2(d)) shall not exceed the total consideration received by such Tagging Investor for its Shares in respect of such Proposed Sale. If and to the extent deemed reasonably

 

-5-


necessary by the Selling Investor (it being understood that the Selling Investor will first attempt to structure any Proposed Sale on terms that will not require post-closing true-up recoveries for the payment of Costs of the types contemplated by clause (A) of the proviso to this sentence below and, in circumstances where such arrangements are employed, to take reasonable steps to attempt to minimize their amount and duration), the Selling Investor shall be entitled to estimate, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, each Tagging Investor’s proportionate share of such Costs and to withhold such amounts from payments to be made to each Tagging Investor at the time of closing of such Proposed Sale; provided, that (A) such estimate shall not preclude the Selling Investor from recovering additional amounts from the Tagging Investors in respect of each such Tagging Investor’s proportionate share of such Costs and (B) the Selling Investor shall reimburse each Tagging Investor to the extent actual amounts are ultimately less than the estimated amounts or to the extent that any such amounts are paid by the Company, the Proposed Transferee or another Person (other than the Selling Investor) promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of determining the actual amount).

(iv) Exercise of Tag-Along Rights; Notices. The Selling Investor (having first complied with the provisions of Section 2.2(c), if applicable) shall give each other Investor prior written notice of each Proposed Sale, setting forth the number of Shares proposed to be so Transferred, the identity of the Proposed Transferee, the proposed amount and form of consideration and other material terms and conditions of the Proposed Sale (including indemnification, escrow and other material economic terms) offered by the Proposed Transferee (such initial notice, the “Tag-Along Opportunity Notice”). In the event that any of the material terms or conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Opportunity Notice are thereafter amended in any material respect, the Selling Investor shall also give written notice of the amended terms and conditions of the Proposed Sale to the other Investors (any amended notice, an “Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice”). In order to exercise the tag-along rights provided by this Section 2.2(d) an Investor must send a written notice to the Selling Investor indicating its desire to exercise its rights and specifying the number of Shares it desires to sell (the “Tag-Along Exercise Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days following the giving of the Tag-Along Opportunity Notice to such Investor (or if an Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice is given to the Investor, within ten (10) Business Days following the giving of such Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice). An Investor shall not be obligated to separately comply with the provisions of Section 2.2(c) in order to exercise the tag-along rights provided by this Section 2.2(d). Upon the giving of an Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice to an Investor that had previously provided a Tag-Along Exercise Notice, such Tagging Investor shall be permitted to cancel its exercise of its rights under this Section 2.2(d) upon delivery of written notice to the Selling Investor to such effect and shall be released from its obligation hereunder. There shall be no liability on the part of the Selling Investor to any Tagging Investor if the sale of Shares pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) is not consummated for whatever reason.

(v) Each Tagging Investor shall deliver to the Selling Investor, or agent for such Selling Investor, all documents and instruments reasonably requested by the Selling Investor to evidence the Transfer to the Proposed Transferee the Shares that such Tagging Investor is permitted to dispose of pursuant to this Section 2.2(d). The consummation of such Proposed Sale shall be subject to the sole discretion of the Selling Investor, who shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever to any Tagging Investor participating therein other than to obtain for such Tagging Investor the same terms and conditions as those of the Selling Investor. In connection with the consummation of any

 

-6-


such Proposed Sale, the Selling Investor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Transfer to the Proposed Transferee at the closing of such Proposed Sale documents and instruments evidencing the Transfer to the Proposed Transferee of the Shares to be disposed of by any Tagging Investors.

(vi) If any Tagging Investor exercises its rights under this Section 2.2(d), the closing of the purchase of the Shares with respect to which such rights have been exercised shall take place concurrently with the closing of the sale of the Selling Investor’s Shares to the Proposed Transferee. If by the end of ninety (90) days following the date of delivery of the Tag-Along Opportunity Notice (or, following the delivery of the last Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice, if applicable), the Selling Investor and the Proposed Transferee have not completed the Proposed Sale, each Tagging Investor shall be released from its obligations under this Section 2.2(d), and the applicable Tag-Along Exercise Notices shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for the terms of this Section 2.2(d) to be separately complied with in order to consummate such Proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 2.2(d).

(vii) Tag-Along Power of Attorney. Upon delivering a Tag-Along Exercise Notice, each Tagging Investor shall, if requested by the Selling Investor, execute and deliver a power of attorney in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Selling Investor and such Tagging Investor with respect to the Shares that are to be sold by such Tagging Investor pursuant hereto (a “Tag-Along Power of Attorney”); it being understood that the Tag-Along Power of Attorney shall provide, among other things, that each such Tagging Investor shall irrevocably appoint a Person designated by the Selling Investors (and not objected to by Tagging Investors holding a majority of the Shares as to which tag-along rights are being exercised) to act as attorney-in-fact and agent with full power and authority to act under the Tag-Along Power of Attorney on its behalf with respect to (and subject to the terms and conditions of) the matters specified in this Section 2.2(d).

(e) Distributions to Limited Partners or Members. From the Closing or, the Distribution if the Exchange Shares are issued to the Contributor, each Investor agrees that it shall not make any distribution of Shares to its partners, members or stockholders without first obtaining consent from each of the other Investors unless in connection with a Transfer to a Charitable Organization.

(f) Permitted Rule 144 Transfers. At no time shall any Investor Transfer any or all of its Shares in reliance on Rule 144 other than in compliance with this Section 2.2(f). Each Investor will use its reasonable best efforts to coordinate its efforts to Transfer Shares in reliance on Rule 144. Any Shares Transferred pursuant to this Section 2.2(f) shall no longer be Shares under this Agreement.

(i) Notice. Prior to any such Transfer of Shares in reliance on Rule 144, an Investor (the “Notifying Investor”) shall provide each other Investor (each other Investor a “Notified Investor”) with at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice (a “144 Notice”) of the Notifying Investor’s intention to commence Selling Shares in reliance on Rule 144; provided, however, that the Notified Investors who intend to Sell Shares in reliance on Rule 144 in connection with such 144 Notice need not comply with such requirement to provide a 144 Notice, but shall notify the other Investors of its intent to Sell any Shares as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the earliest time at which the Notifying Investor intends to commence Selling Shares as indicated in such 144 Notice. The 144 Notice is intended to permit each Investor electing to Sell Shares at such time to coordinate the timing and process for Selling their Shares in an orderly fashion.

 

-7-


(ii) 144 Notice Requirements. Each 144 Notice shall specify:

(b) the earliest time at which the Notifying Investor intends to commence Sales pursuant to this Section 2.2(f),

(c) whether such a Sale will commence a new measurement period for purposes of the Rule 144 group volume limit or is part of such a continuing measurement period previously commenced by another 144 Notice, and

(d) the volume limit for each Investor for that measurement period, determined as of its commencement.

(iii) Shares. Each Investor shall be entitled to effect Sales of a number of Shares equal to such Investor’s pro rata portion of the Rule 144 group volume limit applicable to all Investors during the applicable measurement period based on such Investor’s percentage ownership of Shares held by the Investors at the start of such measurement period; provided, however, that the Notified Investors shall not Sell any Shares in reliance on Rule 144 in connection with such 144 Notice prior to the earliest time at which the Notifying Investor intends to commence Selling Shares as indicated in such 144 Notice.

(g) Restrictions on Transfers to Strategic Investors. No Investor shall Transfer any Shares to a Strategic Investor without the approval of each of the other Investors.

(i) Notice. If any Investor proposes to Transfer any Shares to a Strategic Investor, the Investor shall furnish a written notice to each other Investor at least five (5) Business Days prior to such proposed Transfer other than with respect to any exempted Transfers pursuant to Section 2.2(g)(ii). Such notice shall set forth the principal terms of the proposed Transfer, including (i) the number of the Shares to be Transferred, (ii) the per share purchase price or the formula by which such price is to be determined and (iii) the name and address of the prospective buyer. If, within three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery of such notice, a notice designating such prospective buyer as a Strategic Investor is delivered by an Investor to the Investor proposing to Transfer Shares, then the proposing Investor shall not Transfer any Shares to such prospective buyer.

(ii) Certain Exempted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the restrictions in Section 2.2(g) shall not apply to any Transfers (i) in reliance on Rule 144 effected as “brokers’ transactions” (as defined in Rule 144); (ii) pursuant to a Public Offering, (iii) in reliance on Rule 144 directly to a “market maker” (as defined in Rule 144), (iv) pursuant to a block sale to a financial institution in a registered offering or (v) in connection with a transaction between the Company and a Strategic Investor that is approved by the requisite vote of the shareholders of the Company, in each case of clauses (ii)-(iv) in which, to the knowledge of the Investor, the underwriter(s), market maker(s) or block sale purchaser(s) are not acquiring such Shares for the intended purpose of reselling such Shares to any Person that, after giving effect to such resale, would own, directly or indirectly, more than five percent (5%) of then outstanding Shares (such Transfers, the “Exempted Transfers”).

2.3. Coordination Agreement.

(a) Share Information. Each Investor agrees to provide the other Investors with current information regarding its Shares from time to time upon request of any other Investor and to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the other Investors in respect of determining any pro rata calculations required to be made or rights hereunder. All Shares held by each Investor and its Affiliates shall be aggregated together for purposes of determining the availability of any rights or applicability of any obligations with respect to an Investor under this Agreement.

(b) Pro Rata Sales. From the Closing or, the Distribution if the Exchange Shares are issued to the Contributor, in the event of any Public Offering (including pursuant to a registration request as provided in Section 2.4), each Investor agrees to include in such Public Offering its and its Affiliates’ Shares pro rata based on such Investor’s percentage ownership of Shares held by all Investors and their Affiliates at the time of such offering until the earlier of such time that (i) such Investor has sold in all Public Offerings that number of Exchange Shares received by such Investor and its Affiliates at the Closing or, the Distribution if the Exchange Shares are issued to the Contributor (such number of Exchange Shares issued to an Investor at the Closing or, received by each Investor in the Distribution if the Exchange Shares are issued to the Contributor, the “Initial Shares”) equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of such Initial Shares and (ii) such Investor has received aggregate proceeds from the Sale of its Initial Shares in all Public Offerings after the date hereof, greater than or equal to $50 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses.

2.4. Exercise of Registration Rights.

(a) Prior to the Distribution, the Investors agree to approve, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their designated Managers to approve, the exercise by the Contributor of any demand registration under the Registration Rights Agreement in connection with the Initial Offering as requested by the Requisite Investor Majority. Except as set forth in Section 2.4(b), if the Distribution occurs prior to the Initial Offering, then from the Distribution until immediately following the Initial Offering, each Investor agrees not to exercise its rights to make a Demand Registration Request or Shelf Takedown Request (each as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) without the consent of the Requisite Investor Majority.

(b) Registration Requests. If the Initial Offering has not been consummated or requested by the Requisite Investor Majority prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing:

(i) Right to Request. Any Investor who holds greater than ninety percent (90%) of its Initial Shares, may in its sole discretion submit a Demand Registration Request or a Shelf Takedown Request to effect the Initial Offering under the Registration Rights Agreement (a “Registration Request”);
