At the closing of a Drag Sale, each Dragged

7

Participant shall deliver to such Drag Purchaser all documents and instruments as may be reasonably requested by such Drag Purchaser in connection with such Drag Sale, against payment of the appropriate purchase price.  In the event that any such Drag Sale is structured as a merger, consolidation or similar business combination, each Participant, to the extent that approval of such Participant is required, shall vote in favor of the transaction and take all action to waive any dissent, appraisal or other similar rights.  Each Dragged Participant may be liable for breaches of representations and warranties about the Company, its subsidiaries and their respective assets and their operations so long as such liability is not in excess of such Dragged Participant's pro rata percentage interest in the aggregate proceeds of the Drag Sale.
