Section 4.02Right to Compel Participation in Certain Transfers. (a) If the Institutional Securityholders together propose (i) to Transfer not less than 50% of each of their respective Initial Ownership of any class or series of Eligible Securities to a Third Party in a bona fide sale or (ii) a Transfer in which the Eligible Securities to be Transferred by the Institutional Securityholders, plus the Eligible Securities to be Transferred by the Other Securityholders pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), constitute more than 50% of the outstanding Eligible Securities in a particular class or series to a Third Party pursuant to a bona fide sale, or (iii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a Third Party pursuant to a bona fide sale (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Compelled Sale”), the Institutional Securityholders together may at their option require all Other Securityholders to vote all securities of the Company then held by such Other Securityholders in favor of such Compelled Sale and to Transfer the Drag-Along Portion of such class or series of Eligible Securities (“Drag-Along Rights”) then held by every Other Securityholder, and in the case of a Compelled Sale involving Common Units (but subject to and at the closing of the Compelled Sale) to exercise such number of options or warrants (including the Warrant and including, at the option of Hynix, pursuant to Section 2(c) thereof) for Common Units held by every Other Securityholder as is required in order that a sufficient number of Common Units are available to Transfer the relevant Drag-Along Portion of each such Other Securityholder, for the same consideration per unit of the relevant class of Eligible Security and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the Institutional Securityholders, provided that any Other Securityholder who holds options or warrants (including the Warrant) the exercise price per share of which is greater than the per share price at which the Common Units are to be Transferred to the Third Party may, if required by the Institutional Securityholders to exercise such options or warrants (including the Warrant), in place of such exercise, submit to irrevocable cancellation thereof without any liability for payment of any exercise price with respect thereto. If the Compelled Sale is not consummated with respect to any Common Units acquired upon exercise of such options or warrants (including the Warrant), or the Compelled Sale is not consummated, such options or warrants (including the Warrant) shall be deemed not to have been exercised or canceled, as applicable. The CVC US Securityholder Representative and the FP Securityholder Representative, on behalf of the Institutional Securityholders, shall provide written notice of such Compelled Sale to the Other Securityholders (a “Compelled Sale Notice”) not later than the 15th day prior to the proposed Compelled Sale.

The number of Eligible Securities to be sold by each Other Securityholder will be the Drag-Along Portion of the class of Eligible Securities that such Other Securityholder owns. Each Other Securityholder shall be required to participate in the Compelled Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in the Compelled Sale Notice and to tender all its Eligible Securities as set forth below. The price payable in such Transfer shall be the Compelled Sale Price. Not later than the tenth day following the date of the Compelled Sale Notice (the “Compelled Sale Notice Period”), each of the Other Securityholders shall deliver to a representative of the Institutional
Securityholders designated in the Compelled Sale Notice certificates (to the extent the Eligible Securities are certificated), and in the case of options or warrants (including the Warrant), the applicable instrument, representing all Eligible Securities comprising the Drag-Along Portion held by such Other Securityholder, duly endorsed, together with all other documents required to be executed in connection with such Compelled Sale or, if such delivery is not permitted by applicable law, an unconditional agreement to deliver such Eligible Securities pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) at the closing for such Compelled Sale against delivery to such Other Securityholder of the consideration therefor.

Whether to effect a Transfer of Eligible Securities pursuant to this Section 4.02 by the Institutional Securityholders is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Institutional Securityholders.
