(a)            From the date hereof until the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), no Investor shall Transfer or permit the Transfer of any or all of its or its Affiliates’ Shares, except to one or more of its Permitted Transferees.

(b)            Following the Restricted Period, subject to Section 6.06(c), Section 6.06(d) and Section 6.06(e), each Investor may Transfer or permit the Transfer of any or all of its or its Affiliates’ Shares to any Person other than a Non-Permitted Transferee; provided that, (i) no Investor shall be restricted from Transferring or permitting the Transfer of Shares to a Non-Permitted Transferee following the termination of the Commercial Agreement and (ii) after the fourth anniversary of the Closing, if CK Opps I requests that Delta and CK Opps I work together in good faith to initiate a process for a sale of the Company (as a stock sale of 100% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) (such transaction, a “Sale of the Company”) and Delta does not agree with that request, then CK Opps I will be permitted to Transfer, subject to Section 6.06(d), any or all of its shares of Common Stock to a Non-Permitted Transferee that is in the private charter airline business but not to a buyer that is in the commercial airline business.

(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no Investor may Transfer or permit the Transfer of any or all of its or its Affiliates’ Shares if such Transfer would reasonably be expected to cause a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Facility), (ii) Delta may not Transfer or permit the Transfer of any or all of its or its Affiliates’ Shares unless and until the Company and its Subsidiaries have Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) of at least $50,000,000 for the preceding 12 month period; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing clause (ii), Delta may Transfer or permit the Transfer of shares of Common Stock held by it or its Affiliates up to an amount that would permit Delta to reduce its beneficial ownership of Common Stock to 29.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company in order to remain below ownership thresholds that have been disclosed by Delta to CK Opps I, subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 6.06(d) and Section 6.06(e) and (iii) no Investor may Transfer or permit the Transfer of any of its or its Affiliates’ Shares if such Transfer would reasonably be expected to cause the Company to no longer be deemed a “citizen of the United States” (as such term is defined in Title 49, United States Code, Section 40102 and administrative interpretations thereof issued by the DOT or its predecessor or successors, or as the same may be from time to time amended).

(d)            If, following the Restricted Period, (x) the Company ceases or has ceased to be a publicly traded company and/or ceases to be required to file periodic reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act, and (y) Delta, CK Opps I, Cox or any of their respective Affiliates (as applicable, the “ROFO Seller”) desires to Transfer any or all of their Shares (the “ROFO Shares” and such transaction, a “ROFO Transaction”) to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee (such proposed transferee, the “ROFO Purchaser”) in accordance with and to the extent permitted by Section 6.06(b) and Section 6.06(c), the ROFO Seller shall first offer to sell the ROFO Shares to (A) CK Opps I and Cox, in the case of a proposed Transfer by Delta, (B) Delta and Cox, in the case of a proposed Transfer by CK Opps I and (C) Delta and CK Opps I, in the case of a proposed Transfer by Cox (as applicable, the “ROFO Recipients”) and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.06(d).

(i)            Prior to any ROFO Transaction (or entering into any agreement to consummate a ROFO Transaction, other than any agreement that allows for the process set forth in this Section 6.06(d)), the ROFO Seller shall deliver a written notice (the “ROFO Notice” and the date on which the ROFO Seller delivers a ROFO Notice, the “ROFO Reference Date”) to the ROFO Recipients and the Company stating its bona fide intention to effect a ROFO Transaction, which ROFO Notice shall state the terms and conditions of such proposed ROFO Transaction, including the price proposed to be paid for all, but not less than all, of the ROFO Shares (the “Offer Price”) and the other material terms of such proposed ROFO Transaction, and which ROFO Notice shall constitute an offer by the ROFO Seller to sell the ROFO Shares to the ROFO Recipients. Each ROFO Recipient shall have a period of fifteen (15) Business Days following the ROFO Reference Date (the “Consideration Period”) to deliver written notice (an “Acceptance Notice”) to the ROFO Seller and the Company, which Acceptance Notice shall state that such ROFO Recipient accepts the offer to purchase its ROFO Pro Rata Share of the ROFO Shares upon the terms, conditions and price set forth in the ROFO Notice and shall indicate whether such ROFO Recipient elects to purchase the ROFO Pro Rata Share of the other ROFO Recipient in the event such other ROFO Recipient does not elect to purchase its ROFO Pro Rata Share of the ROFO Shares. In the event that a ROFO Recipient does not elect to purchase its ROFO Pro Rata Share of the ROFO Shares (a “Non-Participating ROFO Recipient”), but the other ROFO Recipient has indicated in its Acceptance Notice that it elects to purchase such ROFO Shares (a “Participating ROFO Recipient”), then the Participating ROFO Recipient shall purchase the ROFO Shares allocated to the Non-Participating ROFO Recipient in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.06(d). For purposes of the foregoing, the “ROFO Pro Rata Share” of a ROFO Recipient shall equal the product of (1) the total number of ROFO Shares times (2) a fraction the numerator of which is the total number of Common Shares held by such ROFO Recipient and the denominator of which is the total number of Common Shares held by all ROFO Recipients.

(ii)            If a ROFO Recipient delivers an Acceptance Notice before the end of the Consideration Period, then the ROFO Recipient shall be obligated to purchase, and the ROFO Seller shall be obligated to sell, all but not less than all of the ROFO Shares indicated in such Acceptance Notice at the price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Notice, and the closing of such purchase and sale shall be held as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Acceptance Notice at the principal office of the Company or at such other time and place as the ROFO Recipient and the ROFO Seller may mutually agree; provided that, if such ROFO Transaction is subject to regulatory approval, such 30-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five (5) Business Days after all such approvals have been received.

(iii)            If, prior to the expiration of the Consideration Period the ROFO Recipients have not delivered Acceptance Notices as to all of the ROFO Shares specified in the applicable ROFO Notice within the period set forth in Section 6.06(d)(i) in accordance with Section 6.06(d)(ii), then the ROFO Seller shall have the right to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the purchase of the ROFO Shares with the ROFO Purchaser, with the consummation of such purchase to occur no later than 180 days after the expiration of the Consideration Period (which period shall be extended automatically to the extent necessary to obtain required regulatory approvals, provided that the ROFO Seller or its Affiliates (as applicable) are continuing to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such regulatory approvals, until the expiration of five (5) Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event shall the as-extended period exceed six (6) months); provided, however, that (x) the ROFO Seller shall not be permitted to make any such sale at a price that is less than the price set forth in the ROFO Notice, or otherwise on terms or conditions that are worse in the aggregate to the ROFO Recipient than those set forth in the ROFO Notice, and (y) if the consummation of such purchase is not completed within such 180-day period (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 6.06(d)(iii)), then the ROFO Seller may not Transfer such ROFO Shares pursuant to this Section 6.06(d) without delivering another ROFO Notice to the ROFO Recipients pursuant to Section 6.06(d)(i) and Section 6.06(d)(ii) and re-commencing the process contemplated thereby.

(e)            Subject to compliance with Section 6.06(b) and Section 6.06(c) and the procedures set forth in Section 6.06(d), if, following the Restricted Period, (x) the Company ceases or has ceased to be a publicly traded company and/or ceases to be required to file periodic reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act, and (y) Delta, CK Opps I or any of their respective Affiliates (as applicable, the “Tag-Along Seller”) desires to Transfer any or all of their Shares (the “Tag-Along Shares” and such transaction, a “Tag-Along Transaction”) to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee, the Tag-Along Seller shall provide other Investors and the Company with written notice of the terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer (the “Tag-Along Notice”), including the form of proposed agreement, if any, at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Transfer and offer the other Investors (each, a “Tagging Investor”), the opportunity to participate in such Transfer to the extent permitted by Section 6.06(c) and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.06(e) (the “Tag-Along Offer”).

(i)            The Tag-Along Notice shall identify the number of Shares proposed to be sold by the Tag-Along Seller, the form and amount of consideration per Share for which the Transfer is proposed to be made, and all other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Offer.

(ii)            Each Tagging Investor shall have the right (a “Tag-Along Right”), exercisable by written notice (a “Tag-Along Response Notice”) given to the Tag-Along Seller within 10 Business Days after its receipt of the Tag-Along Notice (the “Tag-Along Notice Period”), to request that the Tag-Along Seller include in the proposed Transfer up to a number of shares of Common Stock representing (x) a number of shares of Common Stock of such Tagging Investor equal to the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Tagging Investor immediately prior to such Tag-Along Sale multiplied by (y) a fraction expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by the Tag-Along Seller divided by the total number of shares of Common Stock held by the Tag-Along Seller immediately prior to such Tag-Along Sale. Each Tag-Along Response Notice shall include wire transfer or other instructions for payment of any consideration for the Shares being transferred in such Tag-Along Sale. Each Tagging Investor shall also deliver to the Tag-Along Seller, together with its Tag-Along Response Notice, the certificates or other applicable instruments, if any, representing the Shares of such Tagging Investor to be included in the Tag-Along Sale. Delivery of the Tag-Along Response Notice shall constitute an irrevocable acceptance of the Tag-Along Offer by such Tagging Investor, subject to the provisions of this ‎Section 6.06(e).

(f)            After the fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement, if at such time the Commercial Agreement remains in effect, then Delta and CK Opps I shall engage in good faith discussions regarding whether to pursue a Sale of the Company, including consultation among the chief executive officers of Delta and CK Opps I. In the event that, following such discussions and consultation, Delta determines not to pursue a Sale of the Company, CK Opps I may nevertheless cause the Company to effect a Sale of the Company in accordance with Section 6.06(g) and CK Opps I shall consider in good faith Delta’s feedback with respect to a suitable prospective buyer for a Sale of the Company; provided that (i) such Sale of the Company shall not be to any Person that engages, directly or indirectly, in a commercial airline business that is competitive with Delta (a “Delta Competitor”) and (ii) any market, mutually beneficial commercial arrangements set forth in the Commercial Agreement in effect at such time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the incentive programs with respect to corporate accounts and retail sales support arrangements, “Market Mutual Arrangements”) between Delta and the Company will continue to be in effect following such Sale of the Company for the remainder of the then-current term thereof. If any prospective buyer in a Sale of the Company (that is not a Delta Competitor) wishes to negotiate any extension of the Market Mutual Arrangements beyond the remainder of the then-current term thereof, or any new, market, mutually beneficial commercial arrangements, Delta shall negotiate in good faith with such prospective buyer with respect to any such extension or new market, mutually beneficial commercial arrangements (in either case, for a term of up to three years from the closing of the Sale of the Company) (“Market Mutual Amendments”). Delta may exercise its change of control termination rights under the Commercial Agreement in its reasonable discretion only if no agreement reasonably acceptable to Delta is reached with such prospective buyer with respect to Market Mutual Amendments, in which case Delta shall provide a reasonable transition period to such prospective buyer following the closing of the Sale of the Company with respect to such commercial arrangements.

(g)            After the fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement, if at such time the Commercial Agreement is no longer in effect or otherwise subject to compliance with Section 6.06(f) and subject to and in accordance with this Section 6.06(g) (including when the Company is publicly traded, approval of the Board), Delta or CK Opps I may cause the Company to effect a Sale of the Company, to a prospective buyer who is not a Permitted Transferee of any Investor, in the manner and on the terms set forth in this Section 6.06(g), and subject to the requirements set forth in this Section 6.06(g) and Section 6.06(h); provided that, if at such time, the Company is no longer a publicly traded company and/or ceases to be required to file periodic reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act, the ROFO provisions of Section 6.06(d) shall apply to such proposed Sale of the Company, mutatis mutandis; provided, further that, neither Delta nor CK Opps I may initiate a Sale of the Company following the fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement unless the consideration from such Sale of the Company would satisfy the MOIC Hurdle with respect to each Investor. The Board will participate in, oversee and assist in the consummation of any Sale of the Company, including any “dual track” process; provided that, the Board shall not be required to take any actions the result of which could be deemed to be in breach of their fiduciary duties as reasonably determined by each member of the Board. The obligations of the holders of Common Stock to participate in a Transfer subject to this Section 6.06(g), shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 6.06(h) and the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) upon the consummation of the Transfer, each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive for its Common Stock the same form of, and the same proportional amount of consideration as each other Company Stockholder, is entitled to receive in respect of its shares of Common Stock (or as applicable, shares of other class of Equity Securities) (for the avoidance of doubt, any additional consideration to be received by any Company Stockholder for any consent given in connection with the Approved Sale will be shared with all other Stockholders on a pro rata basis (allocated based on the amount of consideration to be otherwise received by each such Company Stockholder in connection with such Sale of the Company)); and (ii) if any Company Stockholder is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, each holder of shares of Common Stock shall be given the same option (except, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), that members of management may be offered the option to receive equity securities pursuant to a “rollover” which option may not be offered to all other holders of shares of Common Stock). If Delta or CK Opps I elects to exercise their rights under this Section 6.06(g), Delta or CK Opps I, as applicable, shall furnish a written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) to each other holder of shares of Common Stock and the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable following the execution by Delta or CK Opps I of any definitive agreement with respect to such Sale of the Company (the “Sale Agreement”), and in any event, no later than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated closing date of such Sale of the Company transaction. The Drag-Along Notice shall set forth the principal terms of the proposed Transfer insofar as it relates to such Common Stock including (i) the per share consideration or, if not reasonably determinable, Delta’s or CK Opps I’s, as applicable, good faith, reasonable determination of the maximum and minimum per share consideration to be received in the proposed Transfer and (ii) the identity of the prospective buyer and, with respect to each holder of Common Stock, include copies of agreements to be entered into by such holder in connection with such Transfer. If Delta or CK Opps I consummate the proposed Transfer to which reference is made in the Drag-Along Notice in accordance with and subject to requirements set forth in this Section 6.06(g) and Section 6.06(h), each other holder of Common Stock (each a “Participating Drag Seller”, and, together with Delta and CK Opps I, collectively, the “Drag-Along Sellers”) shall be bound and obligated to Transfer all of its Common Stock and other Equity Securities of the Company in the proposed Transfer on the same terms and conditions with respect to each share of the same class of Common Stock Transferred as each other Company Stockholder (including Delta and CK Opps I) shall Transfer such Equity Securities in such Sale of the Company. If the Sale Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, or at the end of the 270^th day following the date of the effectiveness of the Drag-Along Notice under Section 8.05, Delta or CK Opps I, as applicable, has not consummated a Sale of the Company (which 270 day period may be extended to the extent necessary to obtain any required regulatory approvals for up to thirty (30) days following the date upon which any such required regulatory approvals have been obtained), then the Drag-Along Notice shall be null and void, and each Participating Drag Seller shall be released from his, her or its obligation under the Drag-Along Notice upon the first to occur of such termination or such 270^th day (which 270 day period may be extended to the extent necessary to obtain any required regulatory approvals for up to thirty (30) days following the date upon which any such required regulatory approvals have been obtained), as applicable, and it shall be necessary for a separate Drag-Along Notice to be furnished and the terms and provisions of this Section 6.06(g) separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Transfer pursuant to this Section 6.06(g).

(h)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.06, the following provisions shall be applied to any proposed Transfer to which Sections 6.06(e) or 6.06(g) applies:

(i)            Certain Legal Requirements. In the event the consideration to be paid in exchange for Equity Securities in a proposed Transfer pursuant to Sections 6.06(e) or 6.06(g) includes any securities, and (A) the receipt thereof by a Tagging Investor or Participating Drag Seller, as the case may be, would require under applicable Law the registration or qualification of such securities or (B) such Tagging Investor is not an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission), such Tagging Investor or Participating Drag Seller, as the case may be, shall not have the right to receive such securities in such Transfer. In such event, the Participating Drag Sellers or Delta or CK Opps I, as the case may be, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause to be paid to such Tagging Investor or Participating Drag Seller, as the case may be, in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Equity Securities of the Company (in accordance with Section 6.06(h)(iv) hereof) to be Transferred by such Tagging Investor or Participating Drag Seller, as the case may be, to the prospective buyer in the proposed Transfer, an amount in cash equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Board in good faith) of such Equity Securities of the Company as of the date such securities would have been issued in exchange for such Equity Securities.

(ii)            Further Assurances. Each holder of Common Stock or other Equity Securities of the Company, whether in such Person’s capacity as a Tagging Investor or Participating Drag Seller, as the case may be, Company Stockholder, holder of convertible securities or holder of warrants of the Company, officer or Director (subject to the fiduciary duties of such Person in his or her capacity as a Director) or otherwise, shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in order to expeditiously consummate each Transfer pursuant to Section 6.06(e) or Section 6.06(g) (as applicable) and any related transaction, including executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments reasonably requested by the Company or required in connection with the transaction; voting (subject to Section 6.07) all shares of Common Stock held by such Person in favor of such Transfer and such related transactions; furnishing information and copies of documents; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments that are required to be furnished with Governmental Authorities in connection with such transaction; and otherwise reasonably cooperating with the Drag-Along Sellers and the prospective buyer; provided, however, that Tagging Investors or Participating Drag Sellers (as the case may be) shall only be obligated to become liable in respect of any representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or otherwise to the prospective buyer solely to the extent provided in the immediately following sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Tagging Investor or Participating Drag Seller (as the case may be) (A) hereby waives any applicable appraisal and/or dissenter’s rights in connection with any Transfer made pursuant to Section 6.06(e) or Section 6.06(g) and (B) agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably specified by the Drag-Along Seller in order to expeditiously consummate each Transfer pursuant to Section 6.06(e) or Section 6.06(g) to which such Prospective Selling Stockholders or the Drag-Along Seller (as the case may be) will also be party on the same terms and conditions, including agreements to (i) make individual representations and warranties as to the unencumbered title to its Common Stock and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Common Stock and the absence of any adverse claim with respect to such Common Stock, and be liable without limitation as to such representations and warranties and (ii) be liable (whether by purchase price adjustment, indemnity payments or otherwise) in respect of representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in respect of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a several but not joint and several basis (other than to the extent of an escrow or equivalent holdback, if applicable), without any liability for any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by and specific to any other holder of Common Stock; provided, however, that (1) the aggregate amount of liability described in this clause (ii) in connection with any Transfer of Common Stock shall not exceed the lesser of (x) such Tagging Investor’s or Participating Drag Seller’s (as the case may be) pro rata portion of any such liability, to be determined in accordance with such Tagging Investor’s or Participating Drag Seller’s (as the case may be) portion of the total Common Stock included in such Transfer or (y)  the proceeds (including, for such purpose, the value of any rollover or other securities received) paid to such Tagging Investor or Participating Drag Seller (as the case may be) in connection with such Transfer; and (2) in connection with a Sale of the Company, none of the Investors shall be required to agree to any non-competition, non-solicitation, non-hire, exclusivity or similar covenant.

(iii)            Transfer Process. The Board (if the Company is publicly traded) or the Drag-Along Seller, in the case of a Sale of the Company, or the applicable Tag-Along Seller, in the case of a Tag-Along Offer, as applicable in accordance with the terms of Section 6.06, shall, in their respective sole discretion, decide whether or not to pursue, consummate, postpone or abandon any proposed Transfer and the terms and conditions thereof that will be set forth in the Tag-Along Offer or the Drag-Along Notice, as applicable. Neither any Tag-Along Seller nor their respective Affiliates (nor, in the case of a Sale of the Company, the Drag-Along Seller, the Board or the Company) shall have any liability to any other holder of Common Stock arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, and/or the form of such Transfer initiated by such party (whether by merger, stock purchase, recapitalization or otherwise), consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Transfer except to the extent the Tag-Along Seller or, in the case of a Sale of the Company, the Drag-Along Seller, the Board or the Company (as applicable) shall have failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.06.

(iv)            Closing. The closing of a Transfer to which Section 6.06(e) or Section 6.06(g) applies shall take place at such time and place as the Board or the Tag-Along Seller or the Drag-Along Seller, as applicable, shall specify by notice to each Tagging Investor or Participating Drag Seller, as applicable. At the closing of such Transfer, each Tagging Investor or Participating Drag Seller, as applicable, shall deliver the certificates, if any, evidencing the shares of Common Stock to be Transferred by such Tagging Investor or Participating Drag Seller, as applicable, duly endorsed, or with stock (or equivalent) powers duly endorsed, for transfer with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances (other than restrictions arising under this Agreement, any other agreement with the Company or applicable securities laws), with any stock (or equivalent) transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery of the applicable consideration.

(v)            Proxy. In connection with the consummation of any Transfer to which Section 6.06(g) applies, each Participating Drag Seller (other than any Investor), hereby appoints the Board (A) as such Participating Drag Seller’s, as applicable, representative to act on behalf of such Participating Drag Seller, as applicable and (B) as such Prospective Drag Seller’s true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to transfer its Common Stock and Equity Securities of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Transfer and to execute any purchase agreement or other documentation required to consummate such Transfer. The powers granted herein shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable and shall survive death, incompetency or dissolution of any such Participating Drag Seller.

(vi)            Expenses. In connection with the consummation of any Transfer to which Section 6.06(e) or Section 6.06(g) applies, each Tag-Along Seller or Drag-Along Seller, as the case may be, shall pay its pro rata share (based on such Company Stockholder’s share of the aggregate proceeds paid with respect to all of the Common Stock and Equity Securities of the Company included in such Transfer) of the expenses incurred by the Company and the Tag-Along Seller or the Drag-Along Seller, as applicable, in connection with such Transfer; provided, that the Tag-Along Seller or the Drag-Along Seller (as applicable) shall bear all of the expenses incurred by the Tag-Along Seller or the Drag-Along Seller (as applicable) that are exclusively related to any (re-)investment by any Tag-Along Seller or the Drag-Along Seller (as applicable) or its Affiliates in connection with such Transfer or any arrangements by any Tag-Along Seller or the Drag-Along Seller (as applicable) or its Affiliates related to the period following the closing of such Transfer for which the other Company Stockholders are not a party, in each case, exclusively for the benefit of such Tag-Along Seller or the Drag-Along Seller (as applicable) or its Affiliates and not for the benefit of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any other Company Stockholders.

(vii)            Credit Facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any Sale of the Company, the consummation and closing of such transaction shall be conditioned upon the full repayment of the Credit Facility at, or prior to, the closing of such Sale of the Company.

(i)            After the fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement, if at such time the Company is no longer a publicly traded company and/or ceases to be required to file periodic reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act, Delta, so long as it continues to hold beneficially, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the Common Stock that Delta holds as of the Closing, and/or CK Opps I, so long as it continues to hold beneficially, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the Common Stock that CK Opps I holds as of the Closing, (each, an “Initiating Investor”) may, by written notice to the Company, elect to require the Company to effect, as soon as practicable, an Initial Public Offering, and each Investor shall cause the directors designated by such Investor to take such reasonable and customary actions as are required to give effect to such Initial Public Offering on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to each of Delta and CK Opps I. Such written notice shall specify a nationally recognized underwriter that the Initiating Investor desires to be the managing underwriter for the Initial Public Offering following consultation with the non-Initiating Investor. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Company shall engage such nationally recognized managing underwriter listed in such notice. The Board shall, by a majority vote unless otherwise required by the Company Charter Documents, make all other decisions regarding such Initial Public Offering, including the terms and conditions of such Initial Public Offering, the pricing of Equity Securities to be offered by the issuer in such Initial Public Offering, the size of the Initial Public Offering and the hiring of underwriters (other than the managing underwriter) and advisors and the drafting of documentation. If the Initiating Investor (1) requests that any of its or its Permitted Transferees’ Equity Securities of the Company be included in the Initial Public Offering, then such request shall be deemed a Demand Registration Request (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) for all purposes of Section 2.1.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement, and all of the terms and conditions applicable to a Demand Registration Request pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement shall apply, or (2) does not request that any of its or its Permitted Transferees’ Equity Securities of the Company be included in the Initial Public Offering, then such Investor shall be entitled to piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.3.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement, and all of the terms and conditions applicable to a Piggyback Registration (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Registration Rights Agreement shall apply. The engagement of the underwriters shall be on financial and other terms customary for an Initial Public Offering in the industry, and all reasonable and documented fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company. The Company agrees and acknowledges that it shall be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to such Initial Public Offering.

(i)            At any time prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Initiating Investor, may, by notice to the other Initiating Investor, if applicable, and the Company, elect to terminate an Initial Public Offering requested pursuant to this Section 6.06(h). The other Initiating Investor may thereafter elect to continue the Initial Public Offering (in which case, such Investor shall be deemed to be the sole Initiating Investor). Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute any underwriter as a third-party beneficiary entitled to receive any fees or expenses in connection with an Initial Public Offering terminated pursuant to this Section ‎‎6.06(h).

(ii)            In connection with any request to effect an Initial Public Offering pursuant to this Section 6.06(h), each Investor shall, at the Company’s expense, reasonably cooperate and take such actions as are reasonably necessary or reasonably desirable to complete the Initial Public Offering in a manner designed to achieve a fair price and broad public distribution of the securities being offered.

(iii)            In connection with the consummation of an Initial Public Offering pursuant to this Section 6.06(h), the number of outstanding Equity Securities of the Company to be included in the Initial Public Offering shall be adjusted by way of stock split or reverse stock split to the extent necessary to cause each Equity Security of the Company sold to the public and the price per share of such Equity Securities (calculated before giving effect to any underwriting discounts and commissions) to be within the range recommended to the Company by the underwriters upon consummation of the Initial Public Offering. Each of the Investors and the Company shall cooperate with each other to implement the adjustments described in this Section 6.06(h).

(j)            In connection with a Transfer of Shares by any Investor or its Affiliates in accordance with this Agreement, such Investor may only transfer its right to designate one or more directors to the Board pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that (i) such Transfer is for an amount of shares of Common Stock that (x) in the case of Delta or CK Opps I, is 25% or more of the shares of Common Stock issued to such Investor on the date hereof and (y) in the case of Cox is for 70% or more of the shares of Common Stock issued to Cox on the date hereof, in which case, such Investor may only transfer its right to designate the number of directors to the Board that such Investor would no longer be entitled to designate pursuant to Section 6.01(c) as a result of such Transfer, and (ii) in the case of CK Opps I and Cox, such Transfer shall not be to a Non-Permitted Transferee except as permitted in Section 6.06(b).

(k)            Delta’s rights pursuant to Section 6.06(d), Section 6.06(f) and Section 6.06(g) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon Delta ceasing to hold beneficially, directly or indirectly in the aggregate, at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock issued to Delta pursuant to this Agreement. CK Opps I’s rights pursuant to Section 6.06(d), Section 6.06(f) and Section 6.06(g) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon CK Opps I ceasing to hold beneficially, directly or indirectly in the aggregate, at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock issued to CK Opps I pursuant to this Agreement. Each Investor’s rights to participate in a Tag-Along Transaction pursuant to Section 6.06(e) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, with respect to each Investor, upon such Investor holding beneficially, directly or indirectly in the aggregate, less than 30% of the shares of Common Stock issued to such Investor pursuant to this Agreement.

(l)            Without limiting the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.06, in the event that Delta and/or CK Opps I elects to cause the Company to effect a Sale of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at a time when the Company is no longer a publicly traded company, then the Company shall take all actions reasonably requested by Delta or CK Opps I, as applicable, to support the consummation of such Sale of the Company.

Section 6.07.      Other Governance Matters.

(a)            Without the prior written consent of each of Delta, so long as Delta is entitled to designate at least one director pursuant to Section 6.01, and CK Opps I, so long as CK Opps I is entitled to designate at least one director pursuant to Section 6.01, acting independently (such consent, the “Requisite Consent”), the Company and the Board shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Subsidiary of the Company to:

(i)            issue, redeem or repurchase Equity Securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than, in each case, issuances, awards, redemptions or repurchases of Equity Securities approved by the Board under any management incentive plan;

(iv)          sell, assign, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or otherwise transfer or dispose of, any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries with a value in excess of $10,000,000 per occurrence or in the aggregate, other than to the extent permitted under the Credit Facility;

(x)            amend, modify or supplement the Company Charter Documents in a manner adverse to Delta or CK Opps I (provided that, for purposes of this clause (x), the Requisite Consent shall only require the prior written consent of Delta or CK Opps I to the extent such amendment, modification or supplement would reasonably be expected be adverse to Delta or CK Opps I, as applicable);

(xi)           change its methods of accounting, except as required under GAAP, IFRS or the rules and regulations of the SEC;

(xii)          make or change any tax election, change any annual tax accounting period, or adopt or change any method of tax accounting; or

Section 8.06.      Entire Agreement; No Other Representations or Warranties.

(a)            This Agreement and the Company Disclosure Letter are intended by the Parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to such subject matter.

(b)            Except for the representations and warranties of the Company expressly set forth in Article 3 and the representations and warranties of each Investor expressly set forth in Article 4, the Company and each Investor mutually acknowledge that none of the Company, any Investor, any of their respective Representatives or any other Person has made or is making any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company, any Investor or their respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects.

(c)            Each Party hereto further agrees that it shall not bring any action, claim or legal proceeding against any other Party (or any Representative of any other Party) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby on the basis, or assert (whether affirmatively or as a defense) in any such action, claim or legal proceeding brought by any other Person, that in entering into this Agreement the first-mentioned Party actually relied on any statement, representation or warranty not expressly set forth in this Agreement of or made by any other Party (or any Representative of any other Party).

Section 8.07.      Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware (excluding any conflict of laws rules and principles of the State of Delaware that would result in the internal Laws of any other jurisdiction being applicable) applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. All actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, and the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in any such action and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction to the maintenance of any such action. The consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this paragraph shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties hereto. To the extent that service of process by mail is permitted by applicable Law, each Party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such suit, action or other proceeding in such courts by the mailing of such process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address for notices provided for herein.

Section 8.08.      Specific Enforcement. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including the Investment to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the investor rights set forth in Article VI) in the courts described in Section 8.07 without proof of damages or otherwise (in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8.08), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, neither the Company nor the Investors would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, and agree not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the Parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.08 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 8.09.      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.09.

Section 8.10.      Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. An executed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original executed copy of this Agreement.

Section 8.11.      Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Investment shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Company will pay or promptly reimburse the Investors for any stamp duty, transfer taxes or similar taxes (if any) payable in connection with the original issuance of Common Stock and the acceptance of such Common Stock by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 8.12.      Investors Not a Group. Each of the parties agrees and acknowledges that the Investors are executing a single agreement solely for purposes of convenience, that each of the Investors has separately negotiated regarding the terms of this Agreement with the Company, that this Agreement constitutes a separate agreement between the Company and each Investor and not an agreement among Investors, that no Investor shall be responsible for the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants of any other Investor pursuant to this Agreement, that there is no agreement, arrangement or understanding among the Investors with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement or otherwise with respect to any Equity Securities of the Company and that none of the Investors is acting as a group (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) with any other Investor.

Section 8.13.      Limit on Voting Rights. Prior to the Deferred Closing, for so long as CK Opps I holds Common Stock, all shares of Common Stock held by CK Opps I in excess of 19.9% of the voting stock of the Company, only for so long as they are held by CK Opps I, will not have voting rights in accordance with the Company Charter Documents. Following the Deferred Closing for so long as CK Opps I holds Common Stock, all shares of Common Stock held by CK Opps I in excess of 24.9% of the voting stock of the Company, only for so long as they are held by CK Opps I, will not have voting rights in accordance with the Company Charter Documents.
