WHEREAS, the Company has entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
“Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 18, 2009, by and among the Company, Brickell Bay
Merger Corp. and Allion Healthcare, Inc. (“Allion”).
WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the
Exchanger desires to exchange shares of Allion’s Common Stock (as such term is defined in the
Merger Agreement) as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Exchange Shares”)
having a per share purchase price for each such security as set forth on Exhibit A attached
hereto (the aggregate purchase price for the shares of Allion’s Common Stock to be exchanged by the
Exchanger shall be referred to herein as the “Rollover Amount”).
WHEREAS, the Exchanger believes that it is in his best interests to enter into this Agreement
and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Acquisition of Rollover Stock.
(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement),
the Exchanger shall surrender to the Company the Exchanger’s Exchange Shares (and the
certificate(s) representing such Exchange Shares accompanied by duly executed stock powers), free
and clear of all Liens (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and, simultaneously with such
surrender, the Company shall issue to the Exchanger a certain number of shares of the Company’s
Senior Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Senior Preferred Stock”), Junior
Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Junior Preferred Stock,” and together with
the Senior Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) and Common Stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the “Common Stock,” and together with the Preferred Stock, with respect to the
Exchanger, the Exchanger’s “Rollover Stock”), as set forth opposite the Exchanger’s name on
Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Exchange”). Such Rollover Stock issued to the
Exchanger shall have an aggregate value equal to the Rollover Amount.
(b) In connection with the acquisition of the Rollover Stock hereunder, and the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other agreements to which the Exchanger is a
party (collectively, the “Documents”), the Exchanger represents and warrants to the Company
that:
(i) The Exchanger is acquiring the Rollover Stock for investment for his own account,
not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution thereof. The Exchanger understands that the Rollover
Stock has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a
specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability
of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the
investment intent and the accuracy of the Exchanger’s representations as expressed herein.
The Exchanger is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a),
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(ii) The Exchanger has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Rollover Stock and has had full
access to such other information concerning the Company as he has requested.
(iii) The Exchanger has had the opportunity to consult his own tax advisors with
respect to the tax consequences to himself of the purchase, receipt or ownership of the
Rollover Stock, including the tax consequences under federal, state, local, and other income
tax laws of the United States or any other country and the possible effects of changes in
such tax laws. The Exchanger acknowledges that none of the Company, its subsidiaries,
affiliates, successors, beneficiaries, heirs and assigns and its and their past and present
directors, officers, employees, and agents (including, without limitation, their attorneys)
makes or has made any representations or warranties to the Exchanger regarding the tax
consequences to the Exchanger of the purchase, receipt or ownership of the Rollover Stock,
including the tax consequences under federal, state, local and other tax laws of the United
States or any other country and the possible effects of changes in such tax laws.
(iv) The Exchanger is the legal and beneficial owner of the Exchange Shares as set
forth opposite his or her name on Exhibit A attached hereto, free and clear of any
Liens (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
(v) This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Exchanger, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited
by principles of public policy, applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights and remedies generally or general principles of equity (regardless of
whether considered and applied in a proceeding at law or in equity)), and the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Exchanger does not and will not conflict
with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which the
Exchanger is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which the Exchanger is subject.
(vi) The Exchanger is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the
risks and benefits of the investment in the Rollover Stock.
(vii) The Exchanger acknowledges that none of the Company or any of its officers,
directors, representatives or affiliates has given the Exchanger any investment advice,
credit information, or opinion on whether the exchange of the Exchange Shares for the
Rollover Stock is prudent. The Exchanger has not relied on the Company to furnish or make
available any documents or other information regarding the credit,
affairs, financial condition or business of the Company, or any other matter concerning
the Company. Except as set forth herein, the Company acknowledges none of the Company or
any of its officers, directors, representatives or affiliates has made any representation or
warranty to the Exchanger.
2
(viii) The Exchanger acknowledges and agrees that there may be additional issuances of
shares of Preferred Stock, Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company after the
date hereof and the Preferred Stock and Common Stock equity interest of the Exchanger may be
diluted pro rata in connection with any such issuance.
(c) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Rollover Stock to the Exchanger, and as a
condition thereto, the Exchanger acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the Rollover
Stock to the Exchanger nor any provision contained herein shall entitle the Exchanger to remain in
the employment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company or any
such Subsidiary to terminate such the Exchanger’s employment at any time for any reason.
(d) Upon execution of this Agreement by the Exchanger, the Exchanger’s spouse shall execute
the Consent in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto.
2. Restrictions on Transfer of Rollover Stock.

Stockholders Agreement).
(b) Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions set forth in this Section 2
will continue with respect to each share of Rollover Stock (and will survive any Transfer thereof)
until the earlier of (i) the Company’s initial Public Offering or (ii) the date on which such
Rollover Stock has been Transferred in a transaction pursuant to any of clauses (i) through
(ii) of Section 2(a) (provided that any transfer restrictions set forth in the

THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN AN
EXCHANGE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND A STOCKHOLDER OF THE COMPANY
DATED AS OF OCTOBER 18, 2009. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENTS MAY BE OBTAINED BY

(b) Opinion of Counsel. No holder of Rollover Stock may Transfer any Rollover Stock
(except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) without first
delivering to the Company a written notice describing in reasonable detail the proposed Transfer,
together with an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Company)
that neither registration nor qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws is required in connection with such transfer. In addition, if the holder of the
Rollover Stock delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel that no subsequent Transfer of such
Rollover Stock shall require registration under the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly upon
such contemplated Transfer deliver new certificates for such Rollover Stock that do not bear the
Securities Act portion of the legend set forth in Section 3(a). If the Company is not
required to deliver new certificates for such Rollover Stock not bearing such legend, the holder
thereof shall not Transfer the same until the prospective transferee has confirmed to the Company
in writing its agreement to be bound by the conditions contained in this Section 3.
4. Representations and Warranties of the Company. As a material inducement to the Exchanger to enter into this Agreement and acquire the
Rollover Stock, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Exchanger that:
(a) Organization and Corporate Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of Delaware and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so
qualify might reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition,
operating results, assets, operations or business prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority and all material
licenses, permits and authorizations necessary to own and operate its properties, to carry on its
businesses as now conducted and presently proposed to be conducted and to carry out the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The copies of the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation and bylaws which have been furnished to the Exchanger’s counsel reflect all
amendments made thereto at any time prior to the date of this Agreement and are correct and
complete.

shares of its capital stock or containing any profit participation
features, nor shall it have outstanding any rights or options to subscribe for or to

hereof, the Company has not violated any applicable federal or state securities laws in
connection with the offer, sale or issuance of any of its capital stock, and the offer, sale
and issuance of the Rollover Stock hereunder do not and will not require registration under
the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. To the best of the Company’s
knowledge, there are no agreements between the Company’s stockholders with respect to the
