(a) The certificate (or certificates) representing the Option Stock shall bear the following
legend:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED,

(d) The Management Stockholder agrees that, if requested by the managing underwriter for an
underwritten offering of any shares of Common Stock to the public pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Act (other than registration of securities issued on Form X-0, X-0
or any successor or similar form), the Management Stockholder will not effect any public sale or
distribution of any shares of Common Stock not covered by such registration statement from the time
of the receipt of a notice from the Company that the Company has filed or imminently intends to
file such registration statement to, or within 180 days (or such shorter period as may be consented
to by the managing underwriter or underwriters) in the case of the initial Public Offering and
ninety (90) days (or in an underwritten offering such shorter period as may be consented to by the

Company and the business and prospects of the Company which the Management Stockholder deems
necessary to evaluate the merits and risks related to the Management Stockholder’s investment in
the Option Stock and to verify the information contained in the information received as indicated
in this Section 1(e), and the Management Stockholder has relied solely on such information.
(f) The Management Stockholder further represents and warrants that (i) the Management
Stockholder’s financial condition is such that the Management Stockholder can afford to bear the
economic risk of holding the Option Stock for an indefinite period of time and has adequate means
for providing for the Management Stockholder’s current needs and personal contingencies, (ii) the
Management Stockholder can afford to suffer a complete loss of his investment in the Option Stock,

evaluating the merits and risks of the Management Stockholder’s acquisition of the Option Stock as
contemplated by this Agreement.
2. Sales to Third Parties.
(a) The Management Stockholder hereby agrees that he shall not directly or indirectly, assign,
gift, offer, convey, pledge, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise
dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) at any time during the period commencing on the date
hereof and ending on the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the
occurrence of a Change in Control:
(i) any shares of Option Stock, without the prior written consent of SAC CBI, which
consent may be (i) withheld in the sole discretion of SAC CBI, or (ii) given subject to
reasonable terms and conditions determined by SAC CBI in its sole discretion; or
(ii) any shares of Common Stock (other than Option Stock), without the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent shall have been authorized by a majority of the
members of the Board and which consent may be (i) withheld in the sole discretion of the
Board, or (ii) given subject to reasonable terms and conditions determined by the Board in
its sole discretion.
The Management Stockholder further agrees that in connection with any Transfer consented to
pursuant to this Section 2(a), the Management Stockholder shall, if requested by the Company,
deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company and counsel for the Company, to the effect that the Transfer is not in violation of this
Agreement or the Act. In addition, the Company shall be satisfied that the Transfer is not in
violation of the securities laws of any state applicable to such Transfer. Any purported Transfer
in violation of the provisions of this Section 2 shall be null and void ab initio and shall have no
force or effect.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2 shall prevent the Transfer of any

and to (i) the Company; or (ii) (A) any member of the Management Stockholder’s immediate family
(the “Permitted Family Members”), (B) trusts for the benefit of the Permitted Family

Stockholder retains the sole and exclusive right to vote or dispose of any shares of Common Stock
transferred to the Permitted Family Member (each such person and entity described in clause (ii) a
“Permitted Transferee” and collectively, the “Permitted Transferees”);
provided, further that the Permitted Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by
the terms and conditions of this Agreement pursuant to an instrument of assumption reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Board.
3. Drag-Along Rights.
(a) If a Principal Stockholder at any time, or from time to time, in one transaction or a
series of related transactions, proposes to Transfer shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire
Common Stock) to one or more Persons (a “Third Party Purchaser”),
3
then such Principal
Stockholder shall have the right (a “Drag-Along Right”), but not the obligation, to require
the Management Stockholder to tender for purchase to the Third Party Purchaser, on the same terms
and conditions as apply to the Principal Stockholder, a number of shares of Common Stock and vested
Options (including any options that vest as a result of the consummation of the Transfer to the
Third Party Purchaser) that, in the aggregate, equal the lesser of (A) the number derived by
multiplying (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Management Stockholder
(including shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of all vested Options held by the Management
Stockholder whether or not exercised and including any options that vest as a result of the
consummation of the Transfer to the Third Party Purchaser to the extent the per share consideration
offered by the Third Party Purchaser(s) is greater than the exercise price of such rights to
acquire Common Stock); by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of
Common Stock to be sold by the Principal Stockholder in connection with the transaction or series
of related transactions and the denominator of which is the total number of the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock (including shares issuable upon the exercise of rights to acquire Common
Stock to the extent the per share consideration offered by the Third Party Purchaser(s) is greater
than the exercise price of such rights to acquire Common Stock) held by the Principal Stockholder;
or (B) the number of shares as the Principal Stockholder shall designate in the Drag-Along Notice
(as defined below).
(b) If a Principal Stockholder elects to exercise its Drag-Along Right under this Section 3
with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder, such Principal
Stockholder shall notify the Management Stockholder in writing (the “Drag-Along Notice”).
Each Drag-Along Notice shall set forth: (i) the proposed amount and form of consideration and terms
and conditions of payment offered by the Third Party Purchaser(s) and a summary of any other
material terms pertaining to the Transfer (the “Third Party Terms”); and (ii) the number of
shares of Common Stock and vested Options that the Principal Stockholder elects the Management
Stockholder to sell in the Transfer. The Drag-Along Notices shall be given at least five (5) days
before the closing of the proposed Transfer.
(c) Upon the giving of a Drag-Along Notice, the Management Stockholder shall be obligated to
sell the number of shares of Common Stock and vested Options set forth in the Management
Stockholder’s Drag-Along Notice on the Third Party Terms.
(d) At the closing of the Transfer to any Third Party Purchaser(s) pursuant to this Section 3,
the Third Party Purchaser(s) shall remit to the Management Stockholder the consideration for the
total sales prices of the Common Stock and unexercised vested Options held by the Management
Stockholder sold pursuant hereto minus any consideration to be escrowed or otherwise held
back in accordance with the Third Party Terms, and minus the aggregate exercise price of
any unexercised vested Options being Transferred by the Management Stockholder to the Third Party
Purchaser(s), against delivery by the Management Stockholder of certificates for Common Stock, duly
endorsed for Transfer or with duly executed stock powers and, as applicable, an instrument
evidencing the transfer or the cancellation of the unexercised vested Options subject to the
Drag-Along Right reasonably acceptable to the Company, and the compliance by the Management
Stockholder with any other conditions to closing generally applicable to the Principal Stockholder
and all other holders of Common Stock selling shares in the transaction.
4
4. Tag-Along Rights.
(a) If a Principal Stockholder at any time proposes to Transfer shares of Common Stock (or
rights to acquire Common Stock) to a Third Party Purchaser (other than a Principal Stockholder), in
a single Transfer or a series of related Transfers constituting a Change in Control, then the
Management Stockholder shall have the right (the “Tag-Along Right”) to require that the
Principal Stockholder may not consummate such Transfer unless the proposed Third Party Purchaser
purchases from the Management Stockholder, on the same terms and conditions as apply to the
Principal Stockholder, up to the number of shares of Common Stock (including any shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of vested Options to the extent the per share consideration
offered by the Third Party Purchaser(s) is greater than the exercise price of such rights to
acquire Common Stock) (including such options that vest as a result of the consummation of the
Transfer to the Third Party Purchaser)) equal to the number derived by multiplying (x) the total
number of shares of Common Stock that the proposed Third Party Purchaser has agreed or committed to
purchase, by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock
(including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of vested Options) (including
options that vest as a result of the consummation of the Transfer to the Third Party Purchaser))
owned by the Management Stockholder, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock owned by the Principal Stockholder (including shares issuable upon the exercise of
rights to acquire Common Stock), the Management Stockholder and all other holders of Common Stock
who have exercised a Tag-Along Right similar to the rights granted to the Management Stockholder in
this Section 4 or are otherwise participating in such transaction (including any shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of vested Options to the extent the per share consideration
offered by the Third Party Purchaser(s) is greater than the exercise price of such rights to
acquire Common Stock) (including such options that vest as a result of the consummation of the
Transfer to the Third Party Purchaser)).
(b) A Principal Stockholder shall notify the Management Stockholder in writing in the event
such Principal Stockholder proposes to make a Transfer or series of Transfers giving rise to a
Tag-Along Right at least five (5) days prior to the date on which the Principal Stockholder expects
to consummate such Transfer (the “Sale Notice”) which notice shall specify the number of
shares of Common Stock which the Third Party Purchaser intends to purchase in such Transfer. The
Tag-Along Right may be exercised by the Management Stockholder by delivery of a written notice to
the Principal Stockholder proposing to sell the shares of Common Stock (the “Tag-Along
Notice”) within three (3) days following receipt of the Sale Notice from the Principal
Stockholder. The Tag-Along Notice shall state the number of shares of Common Stock (including any
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of vested Options to the extent the per share
consideration offered by the Third Party Purchaser(s) is greater than the exercise price of such
rights to acquire Common Stock) (including such options that vest as a result of the consummation
of the Transfer to the Third Party Purchaser)) that the Management Stockholder proposes to include
in such Transfer to the proposed Third Party Purchaser (not to exceed the number as determined
above); provided that, in the case of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of vested Options, the Principal Stockholder may require the Management Stockholder to
exercise such vested Options, in whole or in part, prior to or simultaneously with the Transfer(s)
described in Section 4(a). In the event that the proposed Third Party Purchaser does not purchase
the specified number of shares of Common Stock (including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of vested Options to the extent the per share
5
consideration offered by the Third Party
Purchaser(s) is greater than the exercise price of such rights to acquire Common Stock and
including such options that vest as a result of the consummation of the Transfer to the Third Party
Purchaser) from the Management Stockholder on the same terms and conditions as specified in the
Sale Notice, then the Principal Stockholder shall not be permitted to sell any shares of Common
Stock to the proposed Third Party Purchaser unless the Principal Stockholder purchases from the
Management Stockholder such specified number of shares of Common Stock (including any shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of vested Options to the extent the per share consideration
offered by the Third Party Purchaser(s) is greater than the exercise price of such rights to
acquire Common Stock and including such options that vest as a result of the consummation of the
Transfer to the Third Party Purchaser) on the same terms and conditions as specified in such Sale
Notice.
(c) At the closing of the Transfer to any Third Party Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4,
the Third Party Purchaser shall remit to the Management Stockholder who exercised his Tag-Along
Right the consideration for the total sales price of the Common Stock and unexercised vested
Options held by the Management Stockholder sold pursuant hereto minus any such
consideration to be escrowed or otherwise held back in accordance with the Third Party Terms, and
minus the aggregate exercise price of any unexercised vested Options being Transferred by
the Management Stockholder to the Third Party Purchaser, against delivery by the Management
Stockholder of certificates for Common Stock, duly endorsed for Transfer or with duly executed
stock powers and an instrument evidencing the transfer or the cancellation of the vested Options
subject to the Tag-Along Right reasonably acceptable to the Company, and the compliance by the
Management Stockholder with any other conditions to closing generally applicable to the Principal
Stockholder and all other holders of Common Stock selling shares in the transaction.
5. Cooperation.
(a) In the event of (i) the exercise of a Drag-Along Right pursuant to Section 3 or (ii) a
Change in Control triggering a Tag-Along Right pursuant to Section 4, the Management Stockholder
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, consent to and raise no objections against the
transaction, and if the transaction is structured as a sale of stock, the Management Stockholder
shall take all actions that the Board reasonably deems necessary or desirable in connection with
the consummation of the transaction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Management Stockholder agrees to (A) consent to and raise no objection against the transaction; (B)
execute any Common Stock purchase agreement, merger agreement or other agreement entered into with
the Third Party Purchaser with respect to the transaction setting forth the Third Party Terms and
any ancillary agreement with respect thereto; (C) vote the Common Stock held by the Management
Stockholder in favor of the transaction; and (D) refrain from the exercise of dissenters’ appraisal
rights with respect to the transaction.
(b) If the Company or the holders of the Company’s securities enter into any negotiation or
transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated under the Act, may
be available with respect to the negotiation or transaction (including a merger, consolidation, or
other reorganization), the Management Stockholder, if he is not an accredited investor, shall, if
requested by the Company, appoint a purchaser representative (as defined in Rule 501 of the Act)
reasonably acceptable to the Company. If the purchaser representative is designated by the
Company, the Company shall pay the fees of the purchaser representative, but if the Management
Stockholder appoints another purchaser
6
representative, the Management Stockholder shall be
responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed.
(c) The Management Stockholder shall bear its pro-rata share of the costs of any transaction
in which it sells shares of Common Stock and/or vested Options (based upon the net proceeds
received by the Management Stockholder in such transaction) to the extent such costs are incurred
for the benefit of all holders of Common Stock and vested Options and are not otherwise paid by the
Company or the acquiring party.

(c) If to the Management Stockholder, to the Management Stockholder at the address set forth
below under the Management Stockholder’s signature;
or at such other address as any party shall have specified by notice in writing to the others.
18. Covenant Not to Disparage.
(a) The Management Stockholder shall not, at any time, disparage the Company, the Principal
Stockholders, any of their respective Affiliates, or any of the products or practices, directors,
officers, agents, representatives, partners, members, stockholders of any of the foregoing, either
orally or in writing.
(b) In the event that the Management Stockholder breaches any of the covenants sets forth in
this Section 18 (i) while the Management Stockholder is receiving severance payments under any
agreement or plan, the Company may cease making payments thereunder and the Management Stockholder
must repay all amounts previously received from the Company thereunder; (ii) the Management
Stockholder agrees to repay all amounts received, if any, from the Company or any of its affiliates
with respect to the purchase of Common Stock from the Management Stockholder in connection with the
termination of the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company; and (iii) the Management
Stockholder agrees to pay the amount of damages the Company can reasonably demonstrate it incurred
as a result of such breach. The Management Stockholder shall be liable for the payment of
reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and ancillary expenses incurred by the Company in enforcing its
rights hereunder in court or other legal proceedings if the Company prevails in such proceedings.
12
(c) The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Management Stockholder against the
Company whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a defense to the
enforcement by the Company of the covenants contained in this Section 18. It is specifically agreed
that the period following the termination of the Management Stockholder’s employment with the
Company during which the agreements and covenants of the Management Stockholder made in this
Section 18 shall be effective, shall be computed by excluding from such computation any time during
which the Management Stockholder is in violation of any provision of this Section 18.
19. Irrevocable Proxy.
(a) In accordance with Section 82(5) of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 and Article 64 of
the Company’s articles of association, the Management Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints SAC
CBI and any authorized representatives and designees thereof as its lawful proxy and
attorney-in-fact to exercise with full power in the Management Stockholder’s name and on its
behalf, the Management Stockholder’s right to vote all of the shares of outstanding Common Stock
then (or, as applicable, on the record date for such action) owned by the Management Stockholder at
any regular or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, or written consent in lieu
thereof, in such proxy holder’s sole discretion, on any and all matters, including in favor of or
in opposition to directors. This proxy is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest and shall
not be terminable as long as this Agreement remains in effect and, if the Management Stockholder is
a natural person, shall not terminate on the Disability or incompetence of the Management
Stockholder. The Company is hereby requested and directed to honor this proxy upon its
presentation by SAC CBI and any authorized representatives and designees thereof, without any duty
of investigation whatsoever on the part of the Company. The Management Stockholder agrees that the
Company, including the Company’s officers, directors and employees, shall not be liable to the
Management Stockholder for honoring this proxy. If, for any reason, this proxy is unenforceable,
the Management Stockholder agrees to vote all shares of outstanding Common Stock then (or, as
applicable, on the record date for such action) owned by the Management Stockholder at any regular
or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, or written consent in lieu thereof, as
directed by SAC CBI in SAC CBI’s sole discretion, on any and all matters, including in favor of or
in opposition to directors. The Management Stockholder agrees to renew the granting of this proxy
every twelve (12) months following the execution of this Agreement, if requested. If requested
from time to time by SAC CBI, the Management Stockholder will execute a separate form of proxy
consistent with this Section 19(a) that applies with respect to one or more particular matters to
be voted on by the stockholders.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of Section 19(a) shall be effective if such
provision of Section 19(a) shall be deemed to give rise under the Memorandum of Association and
Articles of Association of the Company (as amended from time to time, the “Memorandum and
Articles”) to an obligation of SAC CBI or any of its Affiliates or successors to purchase or
make an offer to purchase any or all shares of Common Stock (including pursuant to Article 163 of
the Memorandum and Articles).
20. Exercisability of Options. If the Management Stockholder is a Leaver (as defined in
the Share Option Agreement between the Management Stockholder and the Company dated _______ (the
“Share Option Agreement”)) for any reason other than one specified in sub-clause (a) or (c)
of clause 3.4 of the Share Option Agreement, the Options shall continue to be exercisable over
those shares of Common Stock in relation to which the Options have vested as of the date that the
Management Stockholder becomes a Leaver
13
provided that the Management Stockholder must exercise such
Options (if at all) within the period of three years following the date that the Management
Stockholder becomes a Leaver (but in no event beyond the end of the “Option Period,” as
defined in the Share Option Agreement), failing which the Options shall lapse; provided,
that if on the date the Management Stockholder becomes a Leaver the Common Stock is not
publicly traded on a National Securities Exchange and is not quoted on Nasdaq or a successor
quotation system, then such exercise must take place (if at all) within the period of ninety days
following the date that the Management Stockholder becomes a Leaver (but in no event beyond the end
of the Option Period), failing which the Options shall lapse; provided, further,
that if on the date the Management Stockholder becomes a Leaver the Common Stock is
publicly traded on a National Securities Exchange or is quoted on Nasdaq or a successor quotation
system, and the Common Stock ceases to be publicly traded on a National Securities Exchange or
quoted on Nasdaq or a successor quotation system prior to the third anniversary of date the
Management Stockholder becomes a Leaver, then such exercise must take place (if at all) prior to
the earlier of (a) the 90th day following the date that the Common Stock ceases to be publicly
traded on a National Securities Exchange or quoted on Nasdaq or a successor quotation system and
(b) the third anniversary of date the Management Stockholder becomes a Leaver (but in no event
beyond the end of the Option Period), failing which the Options shall lapse.
21. Compliance. The parties hereto agree that performance of this Agreement shall be
subject to the Memorandum and Articles and the laws of the British Virgin Islands and all other
applicable laws and regulations.
22. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) date that is
eight years from the date hereof and (b) the date on which SAC CBI no longer holds, directly or
indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any equity interests of any successor to the Company.
