conducted and as disclosed in the Company Reports. Each of the Company’s Subsidiaries is
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization, with full power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted,
except where the failure of any Subsidiary to be duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing, individually or in the aggregate,
would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company’s Memorandum of Association, as in
2
effect on the date hereof, and the Company’s Bye-laws, as in effect on the date hereof, are
each filed as exhibits to the Company Reports.
(b) Subscription Shares. When the certificates evidencing the Subscription
Shares have been delivered to Subscriber against payment therefor as provided in this
Agreement, the Subscription Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
shares of the Company, free and clear of any and all security interests, pledges, liens,
charges, claims, options, restrictions on transfer, preemptive or similar rights, proxies
and voting or other agreements, or other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever, other than
restrictions on transfer imposed by federal or state securities Laws and the Company’s
Bye-laws, and the rights and restrictions contemplated by the Company Agreements. The Class
A Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Class B Subscription Shares have been
reserved for issuance and upon their issuance, such Class A Common Shares will be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company, free and

restrictions on transfer, preemptive or similar rights, proxies and voting or other
agreements, or other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever, other than restrictions on
transfer imposed by federal or state securities Laws and the Company’s Bye-laws, and the
rights and restrictions contemplated by the Company Agreements. Assuming the accuracy of
all representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth in Section 2.2, the offer
and issuance by the Company of the Subscription Shares is exempt from registration under all
applicable securities Laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and “blue sky” laws.

all requisite corporate power and corporate authority to enter into and to perform its
obligations under the Company Agreements, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby and to issue the Subscription Shares in accordance with the terms thereof. The
execution and delivery of the Company Agreements by the Company, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of the Company, subject to the Requisite Vote. Each of the Company
Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or similar Laws in effect
which affect the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally or (b) general principles of
equity, whether considered in a proceeding at Law or in equity.
(d) Capitalization. As of the date of this Agreement, the authorized capital
stock of the Company consists of (i) 100,000,000 Class A Common Shares, of which 36,024,273
shares are issued and outstanding, (ii) 15,000,000 Class B Common Shares, of which 6,312,839
shares are issued and outstanding and (iii) 5,000,000 shares of

designated or are outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s
capital stock are duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable. On the Closing Date, except as disclosed in the Company Reports filed
3
prior to the Effective Date and except for securities issuable pursuant to this Agreement and
employee benefit, stock option and stock purchase plans of the Company existing on the
Effective Date and disclosed in the Company Reports filed prior to the Effective Date or
except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(d) hereto, there will be no shares, voting
securities or equity interests of the Company issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise
of any security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor will there be any rights,
options, calls or warrants outstanding or other agreements to acquire shares, voting
securities or equity interests of the Company nor will the Company be contractually
obligated to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its respective outstanding shares.

contemplated by the Company Agreements, no stockholder of the Company is entitled to any
preemptive or similar rights to subscribe for shares of the Company and no stockholder of
the Company has any rights, contractual or otherwise, to designate members of the Company’s
Board of Directors. Except as disclosed in the Company Reports filed prior to the Effective
Date or as contemplated by the Company Agreements, the Company is not a party to any
stockholder, voting or other agreements relating to the rights and obligations of the

of any and all material liens, security interest and any other material encumbrances or
restrictions, and all of the outstanding shares of capital stock or membership interests of

Company.

Company or its Subsidiaries or to their properties or assets, except, with respect to
clauses (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent that any of the foregoing would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(g) Consents and Approvals. Except for (i) the Consents and Governmental
Approvals set forth on Schedule 2.1(g) hereto and (ii) the Requisite Vote, no
Consent or Governmental Approval is required on the part of the Company in connection with
the execution and delivery of the Company Agreements or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby.
(h) Company Reports. The Company has timely filed all Company Reports. As of
their respective dates, the Company Reports complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, and the rules
and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
promulgated thereunder, and none of the Company Reports, including any financial statements
or schedules included or incorporated by reference therein (the “Financial
Statements”), at the time filed or, if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing, as
of the date of the last such amendment or superseding filing made at least two Business Days
prior to the date hereof, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The Financial Statements and the related notes have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, consistently applied,
during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in the Financial
Statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the
extent they may not include footnotes, may be condensed or summary statements or may conform
to the SEC’s rules and instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q) and fairly present
in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the
consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).
(i) Brokers, Finders, etc. All negotiations relating to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been carried on in such manner as to not
give rise to any valid claim against Subscriber for any brokerage or finder’s commission,
fee or similar compensation based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Company.
(j) Regulation D. Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has
offered to sell, or sold, the Subscription Shares by any form of general solicitation or
5
general advertising (as those terms are used within the meaning of Regulation D
(“Regulation D”) under the Securities Act). Neither the Company nor any Person
acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security
or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause the
offering of the Subscription Shares to be integrated with any prior offering by the Company
in a manner that could require the registration of the Subscription Shares under the
Securities Act.
(k) No Litigation. There is no litigation pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened against the Company, any officer or director of the Company, relating to
the issuance by the Company of its shares or the other transactions contemplated by the
Company Agreements.
(l) Compliance with Law. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in
all material respects with all applicable Laws, including, as applicable, in compliance with
the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended. The Company represents and
warrants that since (i) January 1, 2004, the Company has not, (ii) since the later of
January 1, 2004 and the time a Subsidiary became a Subsidiary, each Subsidiary has not, and
(iii) to the Company’s knowledge, each director, officer, agent, employee or other Person
authorized to act on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in the course of its
actions for, or on behalf of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has not used or
promised to use, directly or indirectly, any funds for any unlawful contribution, gift,
entertainment or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or
employee, or any political party, party official, political candidate or official of any
public international organization. No director, officer, agent, or senior manager of the
Company is, to the knowledge of the Company after reasonable due diligence, a foreign or
domestic government official or employee, except for such an official or employee in a
governmental position that has no relevance to the business of the Company.
(m) NASDAQ. The Class A Common Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b)
of the Exchange Act, and are listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”),
and trading in the Class A Common Shares has not been suspended and the Company has taken no
action designed to terminate the registration of the Class A
Common Shares under the Exchange Act or to delist the Class A Common Shares from the
NASDAQ.
(n) Opinion of the Company’s Financial Advisor. The Company’s Board of
Directors has received an opinion from X.X. Xxxxxx plc to the effect that, as of the date
hereof, the Purchase Price to be received by the Company for the Subscription Shares is
fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company. The Company has delivered to
Subscriber a true and complete copy of such opinion.
2.2. Representations and Warranties of Subscriber. Subscriber represents and warrants
to the Company as follows:
6

and in good standing under the laws of Delaware. Subscriber has all requisite power and
authority to enter into the Company Agreements to which it is a party and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
(b) Authorization, Execution and Delivery and Enforceability. The execution
and delivery by Subscriber of the Company Agreements to which it is a party and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized
by all necessary action on the part of Subscriber. Each of the Company Agreements to which
it is a party has been duly executed and delivered by Subscriber and constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of Subscriber, enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or similar Laws in effect
which affect the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally or (b) general principles of
equity, whether considered in a proceeding at Law or in equity.
(c) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of the Company Agreements
to which it is a party by Subscriber, nor the performance by Subscriber of any of its
obligations hereunder or thereunder, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, will violate, conflict with, result in a breach, or constitute a default
(with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under, give to others any rights of
consent, termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of any provision of (i) the
governing documents of Subscriber, (ii) any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note,
bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, contract, instrument, permit,
concession, franchise, license to which Subscriber or any of its Affiliates is a party or by
which any of its properties or assets are bound, or (iii) any Law applicable to Subscriber
or to its properties or assets which, in each case, would materially impair or delay the
ability of Subscriber to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Company Agreements
to which it is a party.
(d) Consents and Approvals. Except for the Consents and Governmental Approvals
set forth on Schedule 2.2(d)(i), no Consent or Governmental Approval is required on
the part of Subscriber or its Affiliates in connection with the execution and
delivery of the Company Agreements to which it is a party or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Except as listed on Schedule
2.2(d)(ii) and as publicly disclosed, none of the Subscriber or any of its Affiliates is
a party to any stockholder, voting or other agreements relating to the rights and
obligations of the Company’s stockholders.
(e) Brokers, Finders, etc. All negotiations relating to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been carried on in such manner as to not
give rise to any valid claim against the Company for any brokerage or finder’s commission,
fee or similar compensation based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Subscriber.
(f) Purchase for Investment. Subscriber acknowledges its understanding that
the offering and sale of the Subscription Shares to be purchased pursuant hereto by
7
Subscriber are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and that the
Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and
warranties contained herein and Subscriber’s compliance with this Agreement in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire
the Subscription Shares in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. In
furtherance thereof, Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that:
(i) Subscriber is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act and, if there should be any change in such status prior to the
Closing Date, Subscriber will immediately inform the Company of such change;
(ii) Subscriber: (A) has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its
investment in the Subscription Shares to be purchased pursuant hereto, (B) can bear a total
loss of its investment therein at this time, (C) has no need for liquidity with respect to
its investment therein, (D) has adequate means for providing for its current needs and
contingencies, and (E) has such knowledge, experience and skill in evaluating and investing
in issues of equity securities, including securities of new and speculative issuers, based
on actual participation in financial, investment and business matters, such that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and the
suitability of the Subscription Shares as an investment for itself; and
(iii) Subscriber has been given the opportunity to conduct a due diligence review of
the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Subscription Shares
to be purchased by Subscriber and other matters pertaining to an investment in the
Subscription Shares, in order for Subscriber to evaluate the merits and risks of an
investment in the Subscription Shares to be purchased by Subscriber to the extent the
Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense.
(g) No Registration. Subscriber has been advised that the Subscription Shares
have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any non-U.S. securities, state
securities or blue sky laws, and therefore cannot be resold unless they are registered under
such laws or unless an exemption from registration thereunder is available. Subscriber is
purchasing the Subscription Shares for its own account for investment, and not with a view
to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof, and has no present intention
of distributing or reselling any thereof. In making the foregoing representations,
Subscriber is aware that it must bear, and represents that Subscriber is able to bear, the
economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time.
(h) Restrictions on Shares. Subscriber is aware of and familiar with the
restrictions imposed on the transfer of any Subscription Shares, including, without
limitation, the restrictions contained herein or in the Company’s Bye-laws, the exact form
of Registration Rights Agreement (subject to Section 1.4 hereof) attached hereto as
Exhibit B (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the exact form of Investor
Rights Agreement (subject to Section 1.4 hereof) attached hereto as Exhibit

defend and hold harmless Subscriber and Subscriber’s members, officers, directors,
employees, agents, Affiliates and representatives (collectively with Subscriber, the
“Subscriber Indemnified Persons”) against any and all losses, liabilities, damages,
diminution in value of the Subscription Shares (other than diminution in value of the

pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 5.2(a)) and expenses, including all
reasonable costs and expenses related thereto or incurred in enforcing this Article
V (“Losses”), that any Subscriber Indemnified Person has suffered or sustained
(i) arising directly from the breach of any of the representations or warranties of the
Company contained in this Agreement, (ii) arising directly from the breach of any covenant
or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement or (iii) arising directly from any
action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation instituted against such
14
Subscriber
Indemnified Person by any Governmental Entity, any holder of equity securities of the
Company who is not an Affiliate of such Subscriber Indemnified Person or any other Person
(other than the Company) who is not an Affiliate of such Subscriber Indemnified Person
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Company Agreements
(unless (x) such action resulted from a breach of such Subscriber Indemnified Person’s
representations, warranties or agreements contained in any Company Agreement or any
violations by such Subscriber Indemnified Person of state or federal securities laws or any
conduct by such Subscriber Indemnified Person which constitutes fraud or (y) such action is
brought by Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx or any of his Affiliates directly against such Subscriber
Indemnified Person), it being understood that, for purposes of this Section 5.2(a),
such Subscriber Indemnified Person shall not be
entitled to indemnification for Losses for diminution in value of the Subscription
Shares if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated.
(b) From and after the Closing Date, and notwithstanding any investigation at any time
made by or on behalf of the Company or any Company Indemnified Persons or any knowledge or
information that the Company or any Company Indemnified Person may now have or hereafter
obtain, Subscriber shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its officers,
directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Company Indemnified
Persons” and together with the Subscriber Indemnified Persons, the “Indemnified
Persons”) against any and all Losses that any Company Indemnified Person has suffered or
sustained (i) arising from the breach of any of the representations or warranties of
Subscriber contained in this Agreement or (ii) arising from the breach of any covenant or
agreement of Subscriber contained in this Agreement and none of the Company Indemnified
Persons shall be liable to the Subscriber or any holder of equity securities of Subscriber
for or with respect to any such loss.
(c) The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that for purposes of this
Article V in determining whether any representation or warranty has been breached
and for purposes of determining the amount of Losses resulting therefrom, any and all
“Material Adverse Effect,” “material adverse effect,” “materiality” and similar exceptions
and qualifiers set forth in any such representations and warranties shall be disregarded.
The parties hereto hereby further acknowledge and agree that any claim for indemnification

the Closing and any such applicable expiration date until the final resolution thereof.
(d) In the case of any claim asserted by an Indemnified Person under this Agreement,
notice shall be given by such Indemnified Person to the party required to provide
indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Person
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and the Indemnified
Person shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to
assume the defense of any claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that (i)
counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified
15
Person, and the Indemnified Person may
participate in such defense at such Indemnified Person’s expense and (ii) the failure of any
Indemnified Person to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement, except to the extent that such
failure results in a lack of actual notice to the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnifying
Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice. Any settlement
or compromise of such asserted claim by the Indemnifying Party shall require the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, provided that no such consent shall be required as long as it is
solely a monetary settlement (that will
be paid entirely by the Indemnifying Party) that provides a full release of the
Indemnified Person with respect to such matter and does not contain an admission of
liability on the part of the Indemnified Person and will not have an ongoing adverse affect
on the business or operations of the Indemnified Person.
(e) Absent fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence by the party against whom a
remedy is sought, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedies with respect
to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be (a) monetary
damages in accordance with the indemnification provisions set forth in Article V and
(b) the remedies set forth in Section 7.7.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the maximum liability of the
Company with respect to the losses suffered by the Subscriber Indemnified Person as a result
of any breach of any representation or warranty shall be an aggregate amount equal to the
Purchase Price; provided that the Company will be required to indemnify any Subscriber
Indemnified Person for any breaches of representations and warranties only if such losses in
the aggregate exceed US $4,225,000 and then only to the extent such losses exceed such
amount.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the liability for
indemnification of any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement shall not include
consequential, indirect, punitive or exemplary damages. The foregoing shall not limit in
any respect any claim based on diminution of value of the Subscription Shares or of the
Class A Common Shares issuable upon conversion of any Class B Subscription Shares arising
directly from a breach giving rise to such indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying
Party.
(h) Any indemnification of an Indemnified Person by an indemnifying person pursuant to
this Section shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the
Indemnifying Party to an account designated by the Indemnified Person within 15 days after
the determination thereof.
