(i) Any Investor who has a representative on the Board or the Laureate Board immediately following the IPO of Laureate (including each Founder), unless the General Partner agrees to apply Section 2.5(b)(ii) to such Investor, who is not in possession of material non-public information regarding Laureate or its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to cause the Company to (A) Transfer all or part of such Investor’s shares of Common Stock to a Person pursuant to Rule 144 and, after the consummation of such Transfer, the Company shall use the proceeds from such Transfer to redeem Interests from such Investor in accordance with Section 5.1.3 of the LP Agreement or (B) Transfer such shares pursuant to a block trade or underwritten offering pursuant to the Laureate Registration Rights Agreement; and

(ii) Any other Investor who is not in possession of material non-public information regarding Laureate or its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to Transfer Common Stock to any Person, provided that, unless such Transfer is pursuant to a block trade or underwritten offering under the Laureate Registration Rights Agreement, such Investor shall not be entitled to sell Common Stock to any Person (A) during any three (3) month period in which aggregate Transfers of Common Stock by Investors covered by this Section 2.5(c)(ii) exceed the Bucket Maximum and (B) to the extent such Investors are Transferring pursuant to Rule 144, until any new holding period under Rule 144 has expired.

ARTICLE III AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

3.1 Amendment and Waiver.

(a) For so long as the Company is in existence, except as set forth in Section 4.3 hereof, any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall require the approval of the Majority Holders and, upon the approval of the Majority Holders, the General Partner shall, on behalf of the Company, execute and deliver to Laureate documents evidencing the Company’s approval of such amendment, modification and waiver; provided, that if the Company shall cease to exist, any amendment modification or waiver of the Agreement shall require the approval of Majority Holders and Laureate; provided further, that (i) any such modification, amendment or waiver that by its terms affects the rights or obligations of any Investor (or holder) in a manner that is materially adverse and different relative to other Investors (or holders), shall also require the prior written consent of such Investor (or such holder), (ii) the prior written consent of Investors (or holders) who hold, or on whose behalf a Carry Vehicle holds, at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate number of Series A-1 Interests (or Common Stock held by the Investors after the dissolution of the Company) outstanding at the time of such action shall be required to amend or alter (A) this Agreement or the LP Agreement so as to impose additional restrictions on Transfers, (B) this Agreement so as to limit the rights of Investors (or holders) to designate a Director or Laureate Director as provided in Article V hereof, (C) the Laureate Registration Rights Agreement so as to limit the rights of Investors to participate in registrations of Securities pursuant thereto or (D) to amend Sections 5.2(a)(i), 5.2(a)(ii) and 5.3, in each case in addition to any approval required pursuant to clause (i) above, and (iii) any amendment, modification or waiver that affects the obligations of Laureate shall require the approval of Laureate. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Company will provide each party hereto with a copy of any amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to other amendments authorized herein, amendments may be made to this Agreement from time to time by the Company, without the consent of any other Securityholder or Investor: (a) to correct any typographical or similar ministerial errors, (b) to delete or add any provision of this Agreement required to be so deleted or added by any applicable law, (c) to take such actions as may be necessary (if any) to ensure that the Company will be treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, and (d) to add as a party hereto any Person who hereafter becomes a Securityholder or Investor; provided that no amendment may be made by the Company or Laureate pursuant to clauses (a) through (d) above which would have a material adverse effect on any Investor’s investment in the Company or holder’s investment in Laureate.

(b) The parties hereto agree not to consent to or approve any such modification, amendment or waiver of Sections 10.2, 10.14 or 10.16(b) of the LP Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or obligations of any Carry Investor in a manner that is materially adverse and different relative to other Investors, and any such modification, amendment or waiver shall also require the prior written consent of such Carry Investor.

(c) For so long as the Company is in existence, any amendment, modification or waiver of the General Partners’ governing documents shall require the approval of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Directors.

3.2 Termination of Agreement.

(a) This Agreement will terminate in respect of all Securityholders and Investors upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, other than in connection with a dissolution, liquidation or winding up whereby shares of Common Stock are distributed to the Investors.

(b) In the event the Company engages in an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or similar transaction in which the Interests are converted into securities of another company, appropriate arrangements will be made so that the registration rights provided under the Laureate Registration Rights Agreement continue to be provided to Investors by the issuer of such securities. To the extent such new issuer, or any other company acquired by the Company in a merger or consolidation, was bound by registration rights obligations that would conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the Company will, unless the Majority Holders otherwise agree, use its best efforts to modify any such “inherited” registration rights obligations so as not to interfere in any material respects with the rights provided under this Agreement.

3.3 Termination as to a Party. Any Person who at any time ceases to hold any Securities (or a fraction thereof) or ceases to have a Carry Vehicle hold Apportioned Interests (or any fraction thereof) shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement.

3.5 Rights of Carry Investors. The Carry Vehicles and each of the other parties hereto agree that each Carry Investor shall have the power to exercise rights on behalf of, and without any additional consent or authorization of, its respective Carry Vehicle with respect to the Apportioned Holdings Interests held by such Carry Vehicle on behalf of such Carry Investor, including, without limitation, to the extent that any vote, approval or consent or any other action is required of such Carry Vehicle under this Agreement. In

furtherance of this provision, each Carry Vehicle makes, constitutes and appoints each Carry Investor that is a member or partner of such Carry Vehicle as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for it and in its name, place and stead, which appointment shall be coupled with an irrevocable proxy to exercise all the rights, powers and privileges with respect to the Apportioned Holdings Interests held by such Carry Vehicle on behalf of such Carry Investor (subject only to the obligation that any proceeds from or on account of such Apportioned Holdings Interests shall be paid over to the Carry Vehicle for treatment as set forth in the applicable Carry Vehicle governing documents). No Carry Investor shall enter into any agreement, which shall have the effect of limiting the scope of the power of attorney granted in this Section 3.5. Each Carry Vehicle covenants and agrees on behalf of itself, its successors and its assigns, without further consideration, to prepare, execute, acknowledge, file, record, publish and deliver such consents, waivers, amendments, instruments, documents and statements and to otherwise exercise any rights it may have as a Limited Partner and the record holder of Interests on behalf of the Carry Investors that are members or partners of such Carry Vehicle or otherwise, and to take such further actions, as may be required by law or reasonably necessary or as directed by a Carry Investor (or reasonably requested by the Company in connection therewith) to give effect to such power of attorney.

Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), (b) any current or former Affiliate of any Investor or Securityholder or (c) any former, current or future officer, director, agent, general or limited partner, member, shareholder, employee or Affiliate of the General Partner, the Company or any Investor or Securityholder or any former, current or future officer, director, agent, general or limited partner, member, shareholder, employee or Affiliate of the foregoing shall be had and no judgment relating to the obligations of any Investor or Securityholder under this Agreement (except to the extent any such Person expressly is individually liable thereunder) or for any payment obligations under this Agreement (except to the extent any such Person expressly is individually liable thereunder), or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof or related thereto, shall be obtainable by the Company or any Investor or Securityholder against any direct or indirect member, partner, shareholder, incorporator, employee or Affiliate, past, present or future, of the General Partner, the Company or any Investor or Securityholder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that the Company and certain of the parties hereto may be partnerships or limited liability companies, the Company and each party hereto covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any former, current or future directors, officers, agents, affiliates, general or limited partners, members, managers or stockholders of the Company or any party hereto or any former, current or future directors, officers, agents, affiliates, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers or stockholders of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Related Parties”), as such, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of the Related Parties, as such, for any obligation of the Company or any party hereto under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

6.15 Other Covenants. Each Investor or Securityholder entitled to vote on matters submitted to a vote of the Investors or Securityholders, as the case may be, agrees to vote the Securities owned by such Investor or Securityholder upon all matters arising under this Agreement submitted to a vote of the Investors or Securityholders, as the case may be, in a manner that will implement the terms of this Agreement.

6.16 Spouses of Investors and Securityholders. Spouses of Investors and Securityholders that are natural persons do not become Investors or Securityholders as a result of such marital relationship. Each spouse of an Investor or a Securityholder shall be required to execute a Spousal Agreement in the form of Exhibit A to evidence their agreement and consent to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as to their interest, whether as community property or otherwise, if any, in the Securities owned by such Securityholder.

6.17 Opportunities.

(a) For purposes of this Section 6.17, (i) “Affiliate” of any Person shall include any principal, member, director, partner, shareholder, subsidiary, officer, employee

or other representative of any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such Person, controls such Person or is under common control with such Person (with respect to the Sponsor-Affiliates, other than the Company or its Subsidiaries and any entity that is controlled by the Company or its Subsidiaries) or any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such Person, controls such Person or is under common control with such Person and (ii) “Sponsor-Affiliates” shall mean each of the parties to this Agreement other than the Company and the General Partner, and each of their respective Affiliates.

(b) Certain Activities. In anticipation of the benefits to be derived by the Company, Laureate and their Subsidiaries through its continued contractual, corporate and business relationships with the Sponsor-Affiliates and in anticipation and recognition that (i) certain directors, principals, officers, employees and/or other representatives of Sponsor-Affiliates may serve as directors or officers of the Company, Laureate and their Subsidiaries, (ii) the Sponsor-Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, Laureate and their Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, Laureate and their Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, may engage, and (iii) members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner who are not employees of the Company, Laureate or their Subsidiaries (“Non-Employee Directors”) and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, Laureate and their Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, Laureate or their Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, may engage, the provisions of this Section 6.17 are set forth to define the circumstances in which the fiduciary duties of the Non-Employee Directors and the Sponsor-Affiliates would not be breached even if certain classes or categories of business opportunities are alleged to have been usurped by one or more of the Sponsor-Affiliates, the Non-Employee Directors or their respective Affiliates.

(c) Certain Transactions. None of (i) any Sponsor-Affiliate or (ii) any Non-Employee Director or his or her Affiliates (any such Person identified in clause (i) or (ii), an “Identified Person”) shall be in breach of a fiduciary duty for directly or indirectly (A) engaging in a corporate opportunity in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Company, Laureate or their Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliated persons has a reasonable expectancy interest or property right or (B) otherwise competing with the Company, Laureate or their Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any purchase, sale or other transaction by any Identified Person involving any securities or indebtedness of the Company, Laureate or any of their Affiliates (or involving any hedge, swap, derivative or other instrument relating to or in respect of any of the foregoing securities or indebtedness) may be deemed to be a corporate opportunity or to be in competition with the Company, Laureate and their Subsidiaries, the Identified Persons shall be fully protected by the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.17 in pursuing such purchase, sale or other transaction or in taking any other action in respect of or affecting such securities, indebtedness or other instrument. The Company and Laureate, on behalf of themselves and their Subsidiaries, hereby renounce any reasonable expectancy interest or property right in any business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for both an Identified Person and the Company, Laureate or any of their Affiliates, except as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 6.17. In the event that any Identified Person

acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself and the Company, Laureate or any of their Affiliates, such Identified Person would not be in breach of a fiduciary duty for failing to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Company, Laureate or any of their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person can be held individually liable to the Company, Laureate and their Subsidiaries or their stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of engaging in any of activities permitted pursuant to this paragraph (c) or which are stated in this paragraph (c) to constitute a breach of its, his or her fiduciary duties if engaged in by such Identified Person.

(d) Usurping Certain Corporate Opportunities Are Breaches of Fiduciary Duty. The Company, Laureate and their Subsidiaries do not renounce their expectancy interest or property right in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who serves as an officer of the Company, Laureate or any of their Subsidiaries) if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, Laureate or any of their Subsidiaries and the provisions of paragraph (c) of this Section 6.17 shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.

(e) Exclusion. In addition to, and without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.17, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Company, Laureate and their Subsidiaries if the Company, Laureate and their Subsidiaries are not financially capable or contractually permitted or legally able to undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the business of the Company, Laureate and its Subsidiaries or is of no practical advantage to them or that is one in which the Company, Laureate and its Subsidiaries have no reasonable expectancy interest or property right.

(f) Other Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.17 shall in no way modify, waive, amend or limit any agreement entered into after the date hereof between the Company, Laureate or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Sponsor Affiliate, on the other hand, containing a covenant not to compete, a covenant not to solicit, or any other comparable provisions.

6.18 Pledges. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary and only after the Company has obtained the approvals required by law pursuant to Section 9.5 of the LP Agreement, an Investor or Securityholder may pledge the Common Stock pursuant to a bona fide financing transaction(s) at any time after an IPO of Laureate, up to 100% of its Common Stock; provided that, any agreement entered into with a lender in connection with such pledge shall provide that in the event the lender seeks to enforce such pledge and foreclose on the Common Stock that is pledged, such foreclosure shall be a Transfer subject to the terms of this Agreement. To the extent the lender upon foreclosure acquires such shares of Common Stock, such lender (i) shall continue to be subject to the Transfer restrictions under this Agreement with respect to subsequent Transfers, (ii) shall be subject to the same lock-up obligations as any other Investor and/or Securityholder in this Agreement and the Laureate Registration Rights Agreement, and (iii) shall not have any right to vote any of its Common Stock on any matter to be voted on by the shareholders of Laureate, nor have any right to appoint

or designate any members of any governing body of Laureate or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any other governance, consent or approval rights.

6.19 Agreements of Laureate.

(a) Laureate agrees not to amend Articles V and VI of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any other provision relating to the voting rights of the Class B Common Stock without the prior written approval of holders of 75% of the Series A-1 Interests (or Common Stock held by the Investors after the dissolution of the Company).

(b) Laureate agrees to apply for and use best efforts to obtain regulatory approval described in Section 9.5 of the LP Agreement to enable the Company to be dissolved.
