The Requisite Equityholders shall not release the Individual Equityholders before the end of the Lock-up Period unless such Requisite Equityholders have been released from the lock-up agreement signed by such Requisite Equityholders pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, but, in the event that the Requisite Equityholders have been so released, they shall release the Individual Equityholders to the same extent.
If (i) the Company issues an earnings release or material news, or a material event relating to the Company occurs, during the last 17 days of the Lock-up Period, or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-up Period, the restrictions imposed by this agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, unless the Requisite Equityholders waive, in writing, such extension;provided that the Requisite Equityholders shall waive such extension if the extension is waived under the lock-up agreement signed by the Requisite Equityholders pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. In no event, however, shall such extension continue beyond the date that is 34 days from the last day of the Lock-up Period. The Individual Equityholders hereby acknowledge that the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to provide written notice of any event that would result in an extension of the Lock-up Period and agrees that any such notice properly delivered will be deemed to have given to, and received by, the Individual Equityholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Individual Equityholders may transfer shares of Common Stock (or any securities convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for
– 2 –
Common Stock) (i) as abona fide gift or gifts,provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of such Individual Equityholder or the immediate family of such Individual Equityholder,provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, andprovidedfurther that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (iii) to any third party granted an interest in such Individual Equityholder’s will or under the laws of descent,provided that such grantee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (iv) in transactions relating to shares of Common Stock acquired by such Individual Equityholder in open market transactions after the completion of the Initial Public Offering, provided that no filings by any party under the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transaction, (v) if such Individual Equityholder is a corporation, business trust, association, limited liability company, partnership, limited liability partnership or other entity (individually, an “Entity”), to any equityholder of such Entity or any other Entity which is directly or indirectly controlled by, or is under common control with, the such Individual Equityholder,provided, to the extent such transfer is consummated prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, it that it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding such securities subject to the provisions of this lock-up agreement and there shall be no further transfer of such securities except in accordance with this lock-up agreement, andprovidedfurther that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, or (vi) dispositions to the Company, during the Lock-up Period, by such Individual Equityholder of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of raising proceeds to cover the reasonably estimated U.S. federal or state tax liability incurred by such Individual Equityholder as a result of the vesting, during the Lock-up Period, of restricted shares of Common Stock heretofore granted to such Individual Equityholder,provided each such disposition shall occur on or about the time of such vesting and shall be of an amount of shares of Common Stock that raises gross proceeds that, as nearly as reasonably practicable, approximate such tax liability. In addition, each of the Individual Equityholders shall, during the Lock-up Period, be entitled to establish a 10b5-1 plan for the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of such plan,provided that no sale of shares of Common Stock under such plan shall be allowed until after the expiration of the Lock-up Period.
For purposes of this Lock-up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.
If the Company notifies the Individual Equityholders in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Initial Public Offering or for any reason the Underwriting Agreement shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), this Lock-up Agreement shall likewise be terminated.

3.Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Securities and the Option Securities (if the option provided for in Section 2(b) hereof shall have been exercised on or before the third Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date) shall be made at 10:00 AM, New York City time, on June 1, 2011, or at such time on such later date not more than three Business Days after the foregoing date as the Representatives shall designate, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the Representatives and the Company, with respect to the Underwritten Securities, or among the Representatives, the Company and the Selling Stockholders, with respect to the Option Securities, or as provided in Section 9 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the “Closing Date”).

(a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement unless the Company has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. The Company will cause the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed in a form approved by the Representatives with the
Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filing. The Company will promptly advise the Representatives (1) when the Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or when any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have been filed with the Commission, (2) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (3) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, (4) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any notice objecting to its use or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (5) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration Statement and, upon such issuance, occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its reasonable best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.
(b) If, at any time prior to the filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, the Company will (1) notify promptly the Representatives so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (2) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (3) supply any amendment or supplement to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.
(c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the rules thereunder, the Company promptly will (1) notify the Representatives of any such event; (2) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement which will correct
such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and (3) supply any supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.
(d) As soon as practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), the Company will make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “Availability Date” means the day after the end of the fourth fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter that includes such Effective Time on which the Company is required to file its Form 10-Q for such fiscal quarter except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter on which the Company is required to file its Form 10-K.
(e) The Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to each other Underwriter a copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), as many copies of each Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request.

Incorporated on demand for all out of pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities. If the Company is required to make any payments to the Underwriters under this Section 7 because of any Selling Stockholder’s refusal, inability or failure to satisfy any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6, the Selling Stockholdersprorata in proportion to the percentage of Securities to be sold by each shall reimburse the Company on demand for all amounts so paid. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, neither the Company nor any Selling Stockholder shall be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of those expenses.
8.Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter, each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;provided,however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
(b) Each Selling Stockholder severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each other Selling Stockholder, if any, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. The liability of each Selling Stockholder under such Selling Stockholder’s representations and warranties contained in Section 1 hereof and under the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 shall be limited to an amount equal to the total net proceeds (after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) from the sale of the Option Securities by such Selling Stockholder to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement at the initial public offering price as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The Company and the Selling Stockholders may agree, as among themselves and without limiting the rights of the Underwriters under this Agreement, as to the respective amounts of such liability for which they each shall be responsible. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Selling Stockholder may otherwise have.
(c) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Selling Stockholder, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company or such Selling Stockholder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company and each Selling Stockholder acknowledges that the statements set forth (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and, under the heading “Underwriting”, (ii) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities, (iii) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances and (iv) the paragraph related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of
the several Underwriters for inclusion in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below);provided,however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
(e) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company, the Selling Stockholders and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and by the Underwriters, on the other, from the offering of the Securities;provided,however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, then each indemnifying party shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by them, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company or the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (e), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (e).
9.Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the
remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase;provided,however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Selling Stockholders or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company, the Selling Stockholders or any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
10.Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the Nasdaq Global Select Market or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on any of such exchanges, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).
11.Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers, of each Selling Stockholder and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to
this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

14.No fiduciary duty. The Company and each Selling Stockholder hereby acknowledges that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company or Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other, (b) the Underwriters are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company or any Selling Stockholder and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity.

SECTION 2. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SUBJECT SECURITIES
2A.Restrictions on Transfer. No Investor shall sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise directly or indirectly dispose of (whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law) (a “Transfer”) any interest in any Stockholder Shares or Notes (collectively, “Subject Securities”), except (i) in the case of the Indigo Investors and the Oaktree Investors, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions ofSection 2B(i) orSection 2C, (ii) in the case of the Co-Investors, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions ofSection 2B(ii)orSection 2C, or (iii) pursuant to an Exempt Transfer (as defined inSection 2D);provided,however, notwithstanding the foregoing, other than pursuant to an Exempt Transfer, neither the Indigo Investors or the Oaktree Investors may Transfer any of their shares of Common Stock until after December 31, 2009, without the prior written consent of the Oaktree Investors or the Indigo Investors, respectively. In no event shall any holder of shares of Class A Common Stock Transfer any shares of Class A Common Stock if such Transfer would result in the Company losing its status as a COUS.
2B.Right of First Negotiation – Certain Transfers.
(i) In the event either an Oaktree Investor or an Indigo Investor desires to Transfer any Subject Securities (a “Transferring Holder”) (other than (a) any Transfer by an Oaktree Investor or an Indigo Investor pursuant to the exercise of such Investor’s rights underSection 2C or (b) any Exempt Transfer by an Oaktree Investor or an Indigo Investor underSection 2D), such Transferring Holder shall deliver a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to the Company and the Majority Indigo Holder(s) (in the case of a desired Transfer by an Oaktree Investor) or to the Company and the Majority Oaktree Holder(s) (in the case of a desired Transfer by an Indigo Investor (Indigo or Oaktree, as the case may be, each a “ROFO Offeree”)). For the avoidance of doubt, the right of first offer provided for hereby applies only to the type and class of security specified in the applicable Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall disclose the proposed number, type and class of Subject Securities to be Transferred (all such Securities, the “Transfer Securities”). If, following the delivery of the Transfer Notice, a ROFO Offeree is interested in purchasing all of the Transfer Securities, such ROFO Offeree shall, within five (5) days thereafter, deliver a written notice to the Transferring Holder expressing such ROFO Offeree’s interest in entering into negotiations with the Transferring Holder with respect to the purchase of all of the Transfer Securities (the “Expression of Interest”). Thereafter, for a period of fifteen (15) days following the delivery of the Expression of Interest (the “Negotiation Period”), the Transferring Holder and such ROFO Offeree shall engage in good faith discussions with respect to the terms of a Transfer of the Transfer Securities, provided that the Transferring Holder shall have no obligation to sell the Transfer Securities to such ROFO Offeree and such ROFO Offeree shall have no obligation to purchase the Transfer Securities, until such time as definitive agreements are entered into by such parties. In the event that no agreement to Transfer the Transfer Securities to one or more ROFO Offeree(s) is reached within the Negotiation Period, then the Transferring Holder shall deliver a written notice to the Company that no agreement has been reached and, thereafter, the Company shall have five (5) days to deliver a written notice to the Transferring Holder expressing its interest in entering into negotiations with the Transferring Holder with respect to the proposed Transfer of the Transfer Securities (the “Company Expression of Interest”). Thereafter, for a period of fifteen (15) days following the delivery of the Company Expression of Interest (the “Company Negotiation
3
Period”), the Transferring Holder and the Company shall engage in good faith discussions with respect to the terms of a purchase of all of the Transfer Securities, provided that the Transferring Holder shall have no obligation to sell the Transfer Securities to the Company and the Company shall have no obligation to purchase the Transfer Securities, until such time as definitive agreements are entered into by such parties. If, following good faith discussion, no agreement is reached between the Transferring Holder, on the one hand, and either the ROFO Offeree(s) or the Company, on the other hand, with respect to the Transfer of the Transfer Securities, the Transferring Holder may, during the ninety (90) day period immediately following the expiration of the Company Negotiation Period, Transfer the Transfer Securities to any other Person, provided, that in the event that a price to purchase all of the Transfer Securities is offered by a ROFO Offeree or the Company in the course of the Negotiation Period or Company Negotiation Period, as the case may be, in a binding written offer, which offer is capable of being accepted by the Transferring Holder and otherwise on customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, and such price is payable in full in cash at closing and the Transferring Holder elected not to accept such offer, the price at which the Transferring Holder may Transfer such Transferring Holder’s shares shall be no less than the price so offered. In the event the Transfer Securities are not transferred in such manner within such 90-day period, the Transfer Securities shall be subject to the provisions of thisSection 2B(i) in connection with any subsequent Transfer or proposed Transfer by an Oaktree Investor or an Indigo Investor, as the case may be. Any ROFO Offeree who engages in good faith discussions with the Transferring Holder with respect to the Transfer of the Transfer Securities and ultimately purchases Transfer Securities from the Transferring Holder may designate, by written notice to the Company and the Majority Indigo Holder(s) or the Majority Oaktree Holder(s), as the case may be, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of such purchase, one or more other Persons to purchase all or any portion of the Transfer Securities that such ROFO Offeree has elected to purchase.
(ii) In the event a Co-Investor desires to Transfer any Subject Securities (a “Co-Investor Transferring Holder”) (other than (a) any Transfer by a Co-Investor pursuant to the exercise of such Co-Investor’s rights underSection 2C or (b) any Exempt Transfer by a Co-Investor underSection 2D), such Co-Investor Transferring Holder shall deliver a written notice (the “Co-Investor Transfer Notice”) to the Company, the Majority Indigo Holder(s) and the Majority Oaktree Holder(s) (each a “Co-Investor ROFO Offeree”)). For the avoidance of doubt, the right of first offer provided for hereby applies only to the type and class of security specified in the applicable Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall disclose the proposed number, type and class of Subject Securities to be Transferred (all such Securities, the “Co-Investor Transfer Securities”). If, following the delivery of the Co-Investor Transfer Notice, a Co-Investor ROFO Offeree is interested in purchasing all of the Transfer Securities, such ROFO Offeree shall, within five (5) days thereafter, deliver a written notice to the Co-Investor Transferring Holder expressing such Co-Investor ROFO Offeree’s interest in entering into negotiations with the Co-Investor Transferring Holder with respect to the purchase of all of the Co-Investor Transfer Securities (the “Co-Investor Expression of Interest”). Thereafter, for a period of fifteen (15) days following the delivery of the Co-Investor Expression of Interest (the “Co-Investor Negotiation Period”), the Co-Investor Transferring Holder and such Co-Investor ROFO Offeree shall engage in good faith discussions with respect to the terms of a Transfer of the Co-Investor Transfer Securities, provided that the Co-Investor Transferring Holder shall have no obligation to sell the Co-Investor Transfer Securities to such Co-Investor ROFO Offeree and such Co-Investor ROFO Offeree shall have no obligation to purchase the Co-Investor Transfer Securities,
4
until such time as definitive agreements are entered into by such parties. In the event more than one Co-Investor ROFO Offeree delivers an Expression of Interest, the Co-Investor Transfer Securities shall be allocated among such Co-Investor ROFO Offerees pro rata according to the number of applicable Subject Securities owned by each such Co-Investor ROFO Offeree and each Co-Investor ROFO Offeree shall have the right to engage in the good faith negotiations with respect to the terms of a purchase of all such Co-Investor Transfer Securities by such Co-Investor Transferring Holder. In the event that no agreement to Transfer the Co-Investor Transfer Securities to one or more Co-Investor ROFO Offeree(s) is reached within the Co-Investor Negotiation Period, then the Co-Investor Transferring Holder shall deliver a written notice to the Company that no agreement has been reached and, thereafter, the Company shall have five (5) days to deliver a written notice to the Co-Investor Transferring Holder expressing its interest in entering into negotiations with the Co-Investor Transferring Holder with respect to the proposed Transfer of the Co-Investor Transfer Securities (the “Co-Investor Company Expression of Interest”). Thereafter, for a period of fifteen (15) days following the delivery of the Co-Investor Company Expression of Interest (the “Co-Investor Company Negotiation Period”), the Co-Investor Transferring Holder and the Company shall engage in good faith discussions with respect to the terms of a purchase of all of the Co-Investor Transfer Securities, provided that the Co-Investor Transferring Holder shall have no obligation to sell the Co-Investor Transfer Securities to the Company and the Company shall have no obligation to purchase the Co-Investor Transfer Securities, until such time as definitive agreements are entered into by such parties. If, following good faith discussion, no agreement is reached between the Co-Investor Transferring Holder, on the one hand, and either the Co-Investor ROFO Offeree(s) or the Company, on the other hand, with respect to the Transfer of the Co-Investor Transfer Securities, the Co-Investor Transferring Holder may, during the ninety (90) day period immediately following the expiration of the Co-Investor Company Negotiation Period, Transfer the Co-Investor Transfer Securities to any other Person, provided, that in the event that a price to purchase all of the Co-Investor Transfer Securities is offered by a Co-Investor ROFO Offeree or the Company in the course of the Co-Investor Negotiation Period or Co-Investor Company Negotiation Period, as the case may be, in a binding written offer, which offer is capable of being accepted by the Co-Investor Transferring Holder and otherwise on customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, and such price is payable in full in cash at closing and the Co-Investor Transferring Holder elected not to accept such offer, the price at which the Co-Investor Transferring Holder may Transfer such Co-Investor Transferring Holder’s shares shall be no less than the price so offered. In the event the Co-Investor Transfer Securities are not transferred in such manner within such 90-day period, the Co-Investor Transfer Securities shall be subject to the provisions of thisSection 2B(ii) in connection with any subsequent Transfer or proposed Transfer by a Co-Investor. Any Co-Investor ROFO Offeree who engages in good faith discussions with the Co-Investor Transferring Holder with respect to the Transfer of the Co-Investor Transfer Securities and ultimately purchases Co-Investor Transfer Securities from the Co-Investor Transferring Holder may designate, by written notice to the Company and the other Investors, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of such purchase, one or more other Persons to purchase all or any portion of the Co-Investor Transfer Securities that such Co-Investor ROFO Offeree has elected to purchase.

2C.Participation Rights on Investor Transfers.
(i) At least fifteen (15) days prior to any Transfer of any Subject Securities by either an Oaktree Investor or an Indigo Investor (other than (a) any Transfer by an Oaktree Investor or an Indigo Investor as a Participating Stockholder pursuant to thisSection 2C or (b) any Exempt Transfer by an Oaktree Investor or an Indigo Investor underSection 2D), such Oaktree Investor or Indigo Investor, as the case may be, shall deliver a written notice (the “Tag-Along Sale Notice”) to the Company and each other Investor, as applicable, disclosing in reasonable detail the proposed number, type and class of Subject Securities that such Oaktree Investor or Indigo Investor, as the case may be, proposes to Transfer (the “Tag-Along Securities”). Such entity delivering a Tag-Along Sale Notice is referred to herein as a “Proposed Seller” and the recipient of the Tag-Along Sale Notice, other than the Company, is referred to herein as a “Tagging Holder.” Subject to the terms of thisSection 2C, in the event such Proposed Seller is obligated to deliver a Tag-Along Sale Notice, the Tagging Holder that holds the applicable class or type (regardless of tranche) of Subject Securities may elect to participate in such proposed Transfer by delivering, within ten (10) days after delivery of the Tag-Along Sale Notice, written notice to such Proposed Seller and the Company stating that such Tagging Holder has elected to participate in such Transfer, the number of securities held by such Tagging Holder of each class and type of Tag-Along Securities and the number of securities of each such class and type which such Tagging Holder proposes to sell in such Transfer (each such Tagging Holder who so elects to participate in such Transfer, a “Participating Holder”). If the other Tagging Holder elects to participate in such Transfer, such Proposed Seller and the Participating Holders shall each be entitled to sell in such Transfer, at the price per security and on the terms described in thisSection 2C, a number of Subject Securities equal, in the case of Stockholder Shares, to the product of (1) the quotient of the number of Stockholder Shares constituting Tag-Along Securities divided by the total number of Stockholder Shares held by all Investors participating in such Transfer, multiplied by (2) the number of Stockholder Shares constituting Tag-Along Securities held by such Investor, and, in the case of Notes, to the product of (1) the quotient of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes constituting Tag-Along Securities divided by the total aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by all Investors participating in such Transfer, multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes constituting Tag-Along Securities held by such Investor.
(ii) Such Proposed Seller will use reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of the Participating Holders in any contemplated Transfer, and shall not consummate any such Transfer unless each Participating Holder is permitted to sell the Subject Securities which such Participating Holder is entitled to sell hereunder (“Participating Securities”) in such Transfer in the amount and on the terms set forth in thisSection 2C (provided that if the prospective transferee(s) declines to allow the participation of any Participating Holder, as an alternative, such Proposed Seller may consummate the proposed Transfer so long as contemporaneously therewith such Proposed Seller offers to purchase, and assuming the prompt acceptance of such offer and cooperation by such Participating Holder, such Proposed Seller purchases, the Participating Securities from such Participating Holder at the price and on the other economic terms on which such Participating Holder would otherwise have been entitled pursuant to thisSection 2C to sell such Participating Securities in such Transfer). Each Participating Holder transferring Participating Securities pursuant to thisSection 2C shall (x) pay the expenses incurred by such Participating Holder in
6
connection with the Transfer as well as its Allocable Share (as defined below) of the expenses incurred by such Proposed Seller in connection with such Transfer, and (y) be obligated to join in any indemnification or other obligations that such Proposed Seller agrees to provide in connection with such Transfer (except that, while each Participating Holder shall be obligated to make representations and warranties as to such Investor’s title to and ownership of Subject Securities, authorization, execution and delivery of relevant documents by such Participating Holder, enforceability of relevant agreements against such Participating Holder and other matters relating to such Participating Holder, to enter into covenants in respect of the proposed Transfer of such Investor’s Participating Securities and to enter into indemnification obligations with respect to the foregoing, in each case to the extent that such Proposed Seller is similarly obligated in connection with its proposed Transfer of Subject Securities, no Participating Holder shall be obligated to enter into indemnification obligations with respect to any of the foregoing to the extent relating to any representation or warranty by any other Investor in respect of such other Investor or such other Investor’s Subject Securities). For purposes of the foregoing, a Participating Holder’s “Allocable Share” of expenses means that portion of such expenses which would be borne by such Participating Holder if the total amount of such expenses were allocated to such Proposed Seller and the Participating Holders in proportion to the gross proceeds received by such Participating Holder in respect of the Subject Securities included by such Participating Holder in such Transfer relative to the total gross proceeds received by the Proposed Seller and all Participating Holders in such Transfer.
2D.Permitted Transfers.
The restrictions set forth in this Section 2 shall not apply to any of the following Transfers of Subject Securities:
(i) subject to the paragraphs below, any Transfer of Subject Securities by an Investor who is not an individual to any Affiliate of such Investor;

(x) subject to the paragraphs below, any Transfer of Subject Securities by a Co-Investor to any other Co-Investor.
A transferee of Subject Securities pursuant to a Transfer described in any of foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (vii) and (viii) may be referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferee.” Not less than ten (10) days prior to any Transfer of Subject Securities pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii)(B), (vii) and (viii), the proposed transferor and transferee will deliver a written notice to the Company, which notice will disclose in reasonable detail the nature of the proposed Transfer and the identity (including the identity of record and beneficial owners in the event the proposed transferee is an entity) of the proposed transferee. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall continue to be applicable to the Subject Securities following any Transfer to a Permitted Transferee, and no Transfer to a Permitted Transferee may be consummated unless prior thereto the transferor thereof shall have complied withSection 7 below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Investor shall avoid the provisions of this Agreement by making one or more Transfers to one or more Permitted Transferees and then disposing of all or any portion of such party’s interest in any such Permitted Transferee, and any Transfer or attempted Transfer in violation of this covenant shall be void and otherwise subject toSection 7 below. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, no Investor shall Transfer their Subject Securities if the Company would be in violation of any law, rule or regulation applicable to it as a result of such Transfer, and any such Transfer or attempted Transfer in violation of this covenant shall be void and otherwise subject toSection 7 below.
Any Transfer permitted pursuant to thisSection 2D is referred to herein as an “Exempt Transfer.”
2E.Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions set forth in this Section 2 shall continue with respect to any Subject Securities until the earlier of (i) the date on which such Subject Securities have been transferred in a Public Sale, and (ii) the consummation of an Approved Sale.
SECTION 3. SALE OF THE COMPANY
3A.Approved Sale. In the event of a proposed Approved Sale, each holder of Stockholder Shares will vote for, consent to, cooperate with and will not object or otherwise
8
impede consummation of such Approved Sale. As used herein, “Approved Sale” shall mean (x) a Sale of the Company that has been approved by the Board, the Majority Indigo Holder(s) and the Majority Oaktree Holder(s) and (y) in the case of a Sale of the Company that would result in the payment in full in cash of the liquidation preference and all accrued and unpaid dividends on all outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock, a Sale of the Company that has been approved by the Majority Indigo Holder(s). For purposes hereof “Dragging Holder(s)” shall mean the Majority Indigo Holder(s) and the Majority Oaktree Holder(s) in the case of an Approved Sale described in clause (x) of the definition of Approved Sale and the Majority Indigo Holder(s) in the case of an Approved Sale described in clause (y) of the definition of Approved Sale.
3B.Required Actions. If the Approved Sale is structured as (i) a merger or consolidation, each holder of Stockholder Shares shall vote its Stockholder Shares to approve such merger or consolidation, whether by written consent or at a stockholders meeting (as requested by the Dragging Holder(s)), and waive all dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights and similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation, (ii) a sale of stock, each holder of Stockholder Shares shall agree to sell, and shall sell, all of its Stockholder Shares and rights to acquire Stockholder Shares on the terms and conditions so approved, or (iii) a sale of assets, each holder of Stockholder Shares shall vote its Stockholder Shares to approve such sale and any subsequent liquidation of the Company or other distribution of the proceeds therefrom, whether by written consent or at a stockholders meeting (as requested by the Dragging Holder(s)). In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) each holder of Stockholder Shares will take, with respect to such holder’s Stockholder Shares, all necessary or desirable actions reasonably requested by the Dragging Holder(s) in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale of the Company and (b) each holder of Stockholder Shares will make the same representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements as each other holder (subject toSections 3B(1) and(2) below), including without limitation, voting to approve such transaction and executing the applicable purchase agreement. In any Approved Sale, (1) each holder of Stockholder Shares shall be obligated to make representations and warranties as to such holder’s title to and ownership of Stockholder Shares, authorization, execution and delivery of relevant documents by such holder of Stockholder Shares, enforceability of relevant agreements against such holder of Stockholder Shares and other matters relating to such holder of Stockholder Shares, to enter into covenants in respect of a Transfer of such holder’s Stockholder Shares in connection with such Approved Sale and to enter into indemnification obligations with respect to the foregoing, in each case to the extent that each other holder of Stockholder Shares is similarly obligated;provided that no holder of Stockholder Shares shall be obligated to enter into indemnification obligations with respect to any representations, warranties or covenants in the nature of those described in this clause (1) to the extent relating to or in respect of any other holder of Stockholder Shares or any other holder’s Stockholder Shares, and (2) in no event shall any holder of Stockholder Shares be liable in respect of any indemnity obligations pursuant to any Approved Sale in an aggregate amount in excess of the total consideration payable to such holder of Stockholder Shares in such Approved Sale.
3C.Conditions to Stockholders’ Obligations. The obligations of the holders of Stockholder Shares with respect to an Approved Sale are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) upon the consummation of the Approved Sale, each holder of Stockholder Shares will receive the same form of consideration and the same portion of the
9
aggregate consideration that such holders of Stockholder Shares would have received if such aggregate consideration had been distributed by the Company in complete liquidation pursuant to the rights and preferences set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation as in effect immediately prior to such Approved Sale; (ii) if any holders of a class of Stockholder Shares are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, each holder of such class of Stockholder Shares will be given the same option; and (iii) each holder of then currently exercisable rights to acquire shares of a class of Stockholder Shares will be given an opportunity to exercise such rights prior to the consummation of the Approved Sale and participate in such sale as holders of such class of Stockholder Shares.
3D.Rule 506 Transaction. If the Company or the Dragging Holder(s) enter into any negotiation or transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction (including a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), each holder of Stockholder Shares will, at the request of the Company or the Dragging Holder(s), appoint a purchaser representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501) reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Dragging Holder(s). If any holder of Stockholder Shares appoints a purchaser representative designated by the Company or the Dragging Holder(s), the Company will pay the fees of such purchaser representative, but if any holder of Stockholder Shares declines to appoint the purchaser representative designated by the Company such holder will appoint another purchaser representative, and such holder will be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed.
3E.Expenses of Approved Sale. Holders of Stockholder Shares will bear their pro rata share (based on total gross proceeds received by all holders of Stockholder Shares sold pursuant to the Approved Sale) of the costs of any sale of Stockholder Shares pursuant to an Approved Sale to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all holders of Stockholder Shares and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. For purposes of thisSection 3E, costs incurred in exercising reasonable efforts to take all necessary actions in connection with the consummation of an Approved Sale in accordance withSection 3A shall be deemed to be for the benefit of all holders of Stockholder Shares, except that costs incurred by any holder of Stockholder Shares in connection with the Transfer of its own shares or otherwise on its own behalf will not be considered costs of the transaction hereunder and will be the responsibility of such holder.
3F.Stock Powers. Prior to or concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (and promptly after the acquisition of any additional Stockholder Shares), each New Securityholder and Co-Investor shall deliver to the Company (i) all certificates evidencing any Stockholder Shares owned by such New Securityholder and Co-Investor and (ii) five stock transfer powers in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (each, a “Stock Power” and, collectively, the “Stock Powers”) executed in blank with respect to all such Stockholder Shares. All certificates evidencing such Stockholder Shares will be held by the Company for the benefit of such New Securityholders and Co-Investors until consummation of an Approved Sale in accordance with the terms and conditions of thisSection 3. In connection with any such Approved Sale, the Company is hereby authorized by each such New Securityholder and Co-Investor to assign, transfer and deliver all such Stockholder Shares to the appropriate acquiror thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of thisSection 3. In the event of a Transfer
10
by any New Securityholder or Co-Investor pursuant to and in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cancel and reissue any certificates held by it in order to evidence such Transfer as soon as reasonably practicable.
3G.Termination. The rights and obligations under thisSection 3 shall terminate, and the Company shall return all certificates and Stock Powers delivered to the Company pursuant toSection 3F to the record holder of such Stockholder Shares (to the extent not previously transferred in connection with an Approved Sale), upon the first to occur of (a) the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering or (b) the consummation of an Approved Sale.
SECTION 4. PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
4A.Offering.
(i) If the Company issues or sells or authorizes the issuance or sale of any New Securities (as defined inSection 4C below) after the date hereof, the Company shall offer to each holder of Stockholder Shares by written notice (an “Offer Notice”) a percentage of such New Securities equal to the percentage result of the quotient determined by dividing (a) the number of shares of Common Stock held by such holder on a Fully Diluted Basis, by (b) the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis. Each such holder of Stockholder Shares shall be entitled to purchase such New Securities at the most favorable price and on the most favorable terms as such New Securities are to be sold or issued;provided that if a Person participating in such purchase of New Securities is required in connection therewith also to purchase other securities of the Company, the holders of Stockholder Shares exercising their rights pursuant to thisSection 4A shall also be required to purchase such other securities on the same economic terms and conditions as those on which the offeree of the New Securities is required to purchase such other securities (e.g., such holder shall be required to purchase the same types and classes of other securities, in the same proportions relative to their purchases of New Securities and at the same unit prices). For example, if the Company offers to sell shares of Common Stock and requires that, in connection with purchasing specified amounts of shares of Common Stock, the offeree of such Common Stock must also purchase a specified number of shares of Preferred Stock, holders of Common Stock exercising rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to thisSection 4A would be obligated also to purchase, at the same price per share of Preferred Stock, a proportionate number of shares of Preferred Stock. Each holder of Stockholder Shares participating in such purchase shall also be obligated to execute agreements in the form presented to such holder by the Company, so long as such agreements are substantially similar to those to be executed by other purchasers of New Securities (without taking into consideration any rights which do not entitle such a purchaser to a higher economic return on the New Securities than the economic return to which the other holders of Common Stock participating in such transaction will be entitled with respect to New Securities). The purchase price for all New Securities offered to each holder of Stockholder Shares shall be payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not have any obligation to issue equity securities or to offer to issue any equity securities under thisSection 4 to any holder of Stockholder Shares who is not an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
11
(ii) Each Offer Notice delivered by the Company to a holder of Stockholder Shares in respect of any proposed issuance or sale of New Securities shall describe in reasonable detail the type, class and number of New Securities being offered, the purchase price thereof, the payment terms therefor and the percentage thereof offered to such holder pursuant to thisSection 4. In order to exercise its purchase rights hereunder in respect of any issuance or sale of New Securities described in an Offer Notice, a holder of Stockholder Shares must deliver to the Company, during the 15-day period commencing upon such holder’s receipt of such Offer Notice (the “Offering Period”), a written commitment describing its election hereunder (an “Election Notice”).

Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Indigo Registrable Securities and/or Oaktree Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the anticipated per share price range for such offering. Within ten (10) days after receipt of any such request, the Company will give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Oaktree Registrable Securities or Indigo Registrable Securities and, subject toSection 9D below, will include in such registration all Oaktree Registrable Securities and/or Indigo Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice.

22
Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Indigo Registrable Securities if such holders initially requested such Demand Registration (in such capacity, the “Initiating Holder”) or holders of a majority of the Oaktree Registrable Securities if such holder initially requested such Demand Registration (in such capacity, also the “Initiating Holders”). If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Oaktree Registrable Securities and Indigo Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Oaktree Registrable Securities and Indigo Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the applicable Initiating Holder(s), the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the Oaktree Registrable Securities and Indigo Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder, and (ii) second, any other securities requested to be included in such registration which securities, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering;provided that, in the event the holders of a majority of the Indigo Registrable Securities or a majority of the Oaktree Registrable Securities, as applicable, are not permitted as a result of such underwriter’s advice to include at least 80% of the Oaktree Registrable Securities and/or Indigo Registrable Securities initially requested to be included in such registration by such holders, then such request and related registration shall not constitute one of the two (2) Long-Form Registrations to which the holders of a majority of the Indigo Registrable Securities or a majority of the Oaktree Registrable Securities, as applicable, are entitled to request pursuant to thisSection 9.
9E.Intentionally Omitted.
9F.Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company will not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within six (6) months after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration. The Company may postpone for up to 60 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if the Board determines in its good faith judgment that such Demand Registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders and would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or similar transaction;provided that, in such event, the Initiating Holders will be entitled to withdraw such request, and such request shall not constitute one of the two (2) Long-Form Registrations to which the holders of the Indigo Registrable Securities or Oaktree Registrable Securities, as applicable, are entitled pursuant to thisSection 9; andprovidedfurther that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any 12-month period.

9I.Demand Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses in connection with any Demand Registration will be paid by the Company, including the reimbursement of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the applicable Initiating Holder(s).
SECTION 10. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS
10A.Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than (i) in connection with the Company’s initial Public Offering, (ii) pursuant to a Demand Registration (but subject to the rights of holders of Registrable Securities to participate in Demand Registrations pursuant toSection 9) or (iii) pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company will give prompt (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of any registration statement) written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and will use its reasonable best efforts to include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. Such written request may include all or a portion of the Registrable Securities held by a holder of Registrable Securities.

10D.Other Registrations. If the Company has previously filed a registration statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant toSection 9 or pursuant to thisSection 10, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, the Company will not file or cause to be effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the Securities Act (except on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form), whether on its own behalf or
24
at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least sixty (60) days has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration.
10E.Postponement or Withdrawal. If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any of its securities as set forth inSection 10A and prior to the effective date of such registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Board shall determine in its good faith judgment for any reason not to register such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each holder of Registrable Securities and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses incurred prior to such notice in connection therewith as provided herein).

The Company will pay to the holder of Registrable Securities or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 15A shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.
15B.Indemnification of the Company. In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and each other Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint or several) and expenses that arise out of or are based upon a Violation, but only to the extent that such Violation is caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such holder expressly for use in connection with such registration;provided,however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 15B shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the holder of Registrable Securities, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;provided further that the obligation to indemnify will be individual to each holder and shall not exceed the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities of such holder of Registrable Securities were offered to the public (less underwriters’ discounts and commissions) exceeds the total amount of any damages which such holder of Registrable Securities has otherwise been required to pay by reason of a Violation by such Holder.
30
15C.Indemnification Procedures. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not adversely affected the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.
15D.Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 15 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable (other than pursuant to its terms) to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by the holder of Registrable Securities under this Section 15 exceed the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities of such holder of Registrable Securities were offered to the public (less underwriters’ discounts and commissions) exceeds the total amount of any damages which such holder of Registrable Securities has otherwise been required to pay by reason of a Violation by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
15E.Other Indemnification Provisions. The obligations of the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities under this Section 15 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Agreement, and otherwise. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities.
31
SECTION 16. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS

SECTION 17. LIQUIDATION VALUE ADJUSTMENT
Each Investor hereby agrees that in the event a Liquidation Value Adjustment (as defined in the Certificate of Amendment) is triggered, such Investor shall take any and all actions as may be required for the Company to effect the Liquidation Value Adjustment. Further, in the eventSection 2.2(c) orSection 2.6 of the Securities Purchase Agreement is duly amended, in each case with the prior written consent of Holdings III and Holdings III-A, and such amendment affects the terms of the Liquidation Value Adjustment set forth in the Certificate of Amendment, each Investor hereby agrees to vote all of its Stockholder Shares in favor of an amendment to the Certificate of Amendment to effect any changes as shall be required by such amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between Spirit Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of you as representatives of a group of Underwriters named therein, relating to an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company.
In order to induce you and the other Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned or any person in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for such capital stock, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period of 180 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “lock up period”).
If (i) the Company issues an earnings release or material news, or a material event relating to the Company occurs, during the last 17 days of the lock-up period, or (ii) prior to the expiration of the lock-up period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the lock-up period, the restrictions imposed
by this agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, unless Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated waive, in writing, such extension. The undersigned hereby acknowledges that the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to provide written notice of any event that would result in an extension of the Lock-Up Period and agrees that any such notice properly delivered will be deemed to have given to, and received by, the undersigned.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer shares of Common Stock (or any securities convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for Common Stock) (i) as abona fide gift or gifts,provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned,provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, andprovided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (iii) to any third party granted an interest in the undersigned’s will or under the laws of descent,provided that such grantee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (iv) in transactions relating to shares of Common Stock acquired by the undersigned in open market transactions after the completion of this offering, provided that no filings (other than a filing on Form 5 made after the expiration of the lock up period) by any party under the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transaction (v) if the undersigned is a corporation, business trust, association, limited liability company, partnership, limited liability partnership or other entity (individually, an “Entity”), to any Entity which is directly or indirectly controlled by, or is under common control with, the undersigned,provided that it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding such securities subject to the provisions of this lock-up agreement and there shall be no further transfer of such securities except in accordance with this lock-up agreement, andprovided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, or (vi) dispositions to the Company, during the lock-up period, by the undersigned of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of raising proceeds to cover the reasonably estimated U.S. federal or state tax liability incurred by the undersigned as a result of the vesting, during the lock-up period, of restricted shares of Common Stock heretofore granted to the undersigned,provided each such disposition shall occur on or about the time of such vesting and shall be of an amount of shares of Common Stock that raises gross proceeds that, as nearly as reasonably practicable, approximate such tax liability. In addition, the undersigned shall, during the lock-up period, be entitled to establish a 10b5-1 plan for the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of such plan,provided that no sale of shares of Common Stock under such plan shall be allowed until after the expiration of the lock-up period and the establishment of such plan does not require or result in any public announcement being made during the lock-up period.
For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.
If the Company notifies you in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering or for any reason the Underwriting Agreement shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), this agreement shall likewise be terminated.
Yours very truly, |
