ARTICLE II
Securities Laws Provisions
Securities Laws Provisions
2.1. Securities Laws Compliance. No Restricted Stockholder may voluntarily Transfer
Restricted Securities unless (a) a registration statement is then in effect under the Securities
Act covering such Transfer and such Transfer is made in accordance with such registration
statement, or (b) (i) the Restricted Stockholder notifies Buyer of the proposed Transfer and
furnishes Buyer with a written statement of the circumstances surrounding the Transfer, and (ii) if
requested by Buyer, the Restricted Stockholder furnishes Buyer with an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, at the Restricted Stockholder’s expense, that such Transfer will
not require registration of the subject Restricted Securities under the Securities Act or any
filing or registration under applicable state securities and blue sky laws; provided,
however, that no opinion of counsel will be required if the Transfer is pursuant to Rule
144 and the written statement furnished to Buyer pursuant to clause (i) above contains reasonably
sufficient information to enable Buyer, in consultation with its counsel, to determine that the
transferor has complied with the applicable requirements of Rule 144.
2.2. Required Legends. Each certificate representing securities of Buyer will bear a
legend substantially in the following form:
“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE
OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF WITHOUT SUCH REGISTRATION OR THE
DELIVERY TO THE ISSUER OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, OR IF PURSUANT
TO RULE 144, A WRITTEN STATEMENT, SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, THAT SUCH DISPOSITION
WILL NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
Buyer will reissue, without such legend, any certificate representing securities of Buyer, at
the request of the holder thereof, at such time as all of the securities represented by such
certificate become eligible for resale without compliance with the registration or qualification
provisions of applicable federal and state securities laws. For avoidance of doubt, Buyer will
reissue, without such legend, any certificate representing securities of Buyer held by a
Stockholder, that is not an Affiliate of Buyer, at the request of the holder thereof, at any time
after the six month anniversary of the date hereof, provided that such Stockholder
furnishes Buyer with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer’s counsel that such Stockholder then
satisfies the applicable requirements of Rule 144.

3.1. Shelf Registration. Before the Insight Free Trade Date (the “Filing
Deadline”), Buyer shall file with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act a
prospectus that is a part of, or prospectus supplement to, an effective Automatic Shelf

such information as is required for the Insight Stockholders to resell (a “Resale”) the
Registrable Securities as of the Insight Free Trade Date, from time to time, on a continuous or
delayed basis, and to deliver the prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities in accordance
with applicable law (such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, including any prospectus or
prospectus supplements related thereto, in each case as they relate to any Resale, is referred to
herein as a “Shelf Registration Statement”). Buyer will use its reasonable best efforts to
keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the
Insight Stockholders are able to sell all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby pursuant to
Rule 144 without limitation, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the one-year anniversary
of the Closing Date (the “Effectiveness Period”). Any sale of the Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement will not be underwritten.
3.2. Registration Procedures. In connection with the registration obligations of
Buyer under Section 3.1 hereof, Buyer will:
(a) cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be effective prior to the Filing
Deadline;

post-effective amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep
the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective during the Effectiveness Period;
cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and
as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and use its
reasonable best efforts to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to it
with respect to the disposition of Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration
Statement during the Effectiveness Period in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the Insight Stockholders set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement as so
amended or such prospectus as so supplemented;
(c) at least three (3) days prior to the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement, or
any prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto, furnish a copy thereof to the Insight
Stockholders or their counsel;
(d) deliver to the Insight Stockholders, without charge, as many copies of the
prospectus as they may reasonably request (Buyer hereby consenting to the use of each such
prospectus by the Insight Stockholders in connection with the offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities covered by such prospectus and a reasonable number of copies of the
Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto and any supplements
to the prospectus, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated
therein by reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference);
(e) use commercially-reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable
Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Insight
Stockholders reasonably request and keep such registration or qualification effective during
the Effectiveness Period, and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably
necessary or advisable to enable the Insight Stockholders to consummate the disposition in
such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration
Statement; provided, however, that Buyer will not be required (i) to qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
qualify but for this clause, (ii) to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction,
(iii) to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iv) to comply
with requirements under so-called “fair, just and equitable standards” under state
securities laws;
(f) notify the Insight Stockholders, at any time that a prospectus covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the
happening of any event of which it has knowledge and as a result of which the prospectus
included in the Shelf Registration Statement as then in effect would include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing, and, at the request of the Insight Stockholders, Buyer will promptly prepare
a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the Insight
Stockholders, such prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, will not contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;
(g) cause all securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement to be listed on
each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Buyer are then listed and to
be qualified for trading on each system on which similar securities issued by Buyer are from
time to time qualified;
(h) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all securities covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement not later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement
and thereafter maintain such a transfer agent and registrar;
(i) take all such other actions as may be reasonably required to expedite or facilitate
the disposition of the securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement;
(j) otherwise use commercially reasonably efforts to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act and all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to
its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement, satisfying
the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder,
covering a period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of Buyer’s
first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement;
and
(k) upon the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration
statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or
suspending the qualification of any securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement
for sale in any jurisdiction, Buyer will use its best efforts promptly to obtain the
withdrawal of such order.
Each Insight Stockholder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from Buyer of the happening of any
event described in Section 3.2(f), it will discontinue its disposition of securities
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until it receives copies of the supplemented or
amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.2(f) and, if so directed by Buyer, will
deliver to Buyer all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Insight Stockholder’s
possession of the prospectus that was in effect at the time of receipt of such notice.
3.3. Registration Expenses. Buyer will pay the Registration Expenses (as defined
below) in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. All other expenses will be paid by the
Insight Stockholders. The term “Registration Expenses” means any and all expenses incident
to Buyer’s performance of or compliance with this Article III, including without limitation
all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws,
printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and expenses of counsel for Buyer and
all independent certified public accountants and the fees and expenses of any other persons
retained by Buyer in connection with the registration.
3.4. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by Buyer. With respect to a registration pursuant to this
Agreement, Buyer agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Insight
Stockholder, its officers, directors and each person who controls (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) such Insight Stockholder against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in
any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus (or any amendment thereof
or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of
the circumstances then existing, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in
any information furnished in writing to Buyer by any one or more Insight Stockholders for
use therein.
(b) Indemnification by the Insight Stockholders. With respect to a
registration pursuant to this Agreement, each Insight Stockholder will furnish to Buyer in
writing an affidavit containing the Selling Stockholder Information for use in connection
with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will
indemnify the Buyer, and its directors, officers and controlling persons against all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary
prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged
omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, but only
to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in or caused by any
written affidavit.
(c) Notice; Defense of Claims. Any party entitled to indemnification hereunder
will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to
which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable
judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist
with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such
claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is
assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably
withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the
defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one
counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim,
unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist
between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to
such claim.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for herein is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to
any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, will contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim,
damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other, in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim,
damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party will be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying
party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) Survival. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party
and will survive the registration and sale of any securities and the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.

5.4. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement will create, confer or
be deemed to create or confer any third party beneficiary rights in any person or other legal
entity not party to this Agreement.
5.5. Assignment. The rights and obligations of the Stockholders pursuant to this
Agreement are not assignable except that such rights and obligations as they relate to a particular
security will be automatically assigned to any transferee of such security if such security was
Transferred in a Permitted Transfer; provided, however, that the rights under
Article III and Article IV with respect to any securities subject to a subsequent
Indirect Transfer will be null and void and of no further force and effect upon the consummation of
such Indirect Transfer. Any attempted assignment of such rights and obligations in violation of
this Section 5.5 will be null and void. The provisions of this Agreement will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
5.6. Amendment. No amendment, modification or supplement of or to this Agreement will
be effective unless made in writing and signed by (i) Buyer, (ii) the Individual Stockholders
holding a majority of the Restricted Securities then outstanding, and (iii) for so long as the
Insight Stockholders hold Registrable Securities, the Insight Stockholders.

5.7. Waivers. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any
departure from its terms, will be effective unless made in writing and signed by the party giving
such waiver or consent. No action (other than a waiver) taken pursuant to this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party, will be deemed to
constitute a waiver, by the party taking such action, of the other party’s compliance with any
covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement. No delay or omission on the part of any party
in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof or of any
other right or remedy. No waiver by any party of any right or remedy under this Agreement on any
one occasion will be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or any other right or remedy on any
future occasion. No partial exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement by any party will
preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
5.8. Further Assurances. Each party to this Agreement hereby covenants and agrees,
without the necessity of any further consideration, to execute and deliver any and all such further
documents and take any and all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to
carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
5.9. Interpretation.
(a) The meaning assigned to each term defined herein shall be equally applicable to
both the singular and the plural forms of such term and vice versa, and words denoting
either gender shall include both genders as the context requires. Where a word or phrase is
defined herein, each of its other grammatical forms shall have a corresponding meaning.
(b) The terms “hereof”, “herein” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall,
unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any
particular provision of this Agreement.
(c) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or
Schedule, such reference is to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule of this Agreement
unless otherwise specified.
(d) The words “include”, “includes”, and “including” when used in this Agreement shall
be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”, unless otherwise specified.
(e) A reference to any party to this Agreement or any other agreement or document shall
include such party’s predecessors, successors and permitted assigns.

reenacted, and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Agreement. Any rule of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement to

shall not apply to the construction and interpretation hereof.
5.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability
without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction.

5.11. Business Days. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action
required under this Agreement, or the expiration of any right granted in this Agreement, is a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, then such action may be
taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
5.12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Merger Agreement)
represents, and is intended to be, a complete statement of all of the terms and the arrangements
between Buyer and the Stockholders with respect to the matters provided for herein, supersedes any
and all previous oral or written and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings,
negotiations and discussions between Buyer and the Stockholders with respect to those matters.
5.13. Remedies. All remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any other remedies provided by applicable law. The parties agree and acknowledge that
money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach by a party of the provisions of this
Agreement and that the any party may in its sole discretion apply to a court of law or equity of
competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) for specific performance and
for other injunctive relief to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
5.14. Governing Law. This Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto shall be
governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware,
without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Laws rules or provisions (whether of the
State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
5.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and any party
hereto may execute such counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to
be an original and both of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same
instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when all parties hereto shall have received a
counterpart hereof signed by the other parties hereto. The parties agree that the delivery of this
Agreement may be effected by means of an exchange of facsimile signatures with original copies to
follow by mail or courier service.
