(a) Pro Rata Offers to Group. Whenever any Stockholder or Select Stockholder is required to offer shares of Common Stock to the Company, and to the Select Stockholders and the other Stockholders, as a group pursuant to this Agreement, such offer shall be deemed to be made first to the Company. The Select Stockholders and the other Stockholders shall have the right to purchase offered shares if such shares are not purchased by the Company, either pro rata in accordance with their respective holdings at the time of the offer of shares of Common Stock or in such other proportions as they may agree upon among themselves. Except as may otherwise be agreed, each member of the group to whom such shares are so offered, other than the Company, shall have the right to purchase that proportion of the number of such offered shares that the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such member bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by the members of the group electing to accept the offer, other than the Company.
(b) Determinations by Company. Whenever any shares of Common Stock are offered to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the determination of the Company to accept or reject such offer and the determination of ability of the Company to lawfully purchase such shares of Common Stock offered to the Company shall be made by the Board of Directors of the Company. Any member of the Board of Directors of the Company who is the offering Stockholder shall be disqualified from voting on any such determination.
(c) Copies of Notices to Stockholders. At the time of delivery of each Offering Notice and each Reply Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12, a copy thereof shall be delivered to each person to whom the shares of Common Stock covered thereby may thereafter be required to be offered pursuant to such section.
(d) Deemed Notice. If at any time any event occurs that requires a Stockholder or Select Stockholder to provide an Offering Notice to the Company under any provision of this Agreement (a "Triggering Event"), an Offering Notice shall be deemed to have been delivered and the Company shall be deemed to have received such Offering Notice, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement upon the first to occur of (i) actual receipt by the Company of the Offering Notice, or (ii) any action (including the delivery of a Reply Notice) taken by the Company with regard to the Triggering Event, taken at least 30 days after the occurrence of the Triggering Event, and the provisions of Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12, whichever shall be applicable, shall be deemed to be in effect upon the first to occur of (i) or (ii) above.
(e) All or Nothing; Deemed Rejection. A Reply Notice that accepts an offer made by an Offering Notice must accept such offer as to all shares of Common Stock offered by the Offering Notice to the recipient of the notice. If any Select Stockholder, Stockholder or the Company receives an Offering Notice and fails to deliver a Reply Notice to the offering Stockholder within 30 days from the receipt of the initial Offering Notice to such person, or within ten (10) days from the receipt of a subsequent Offering Notice to such person (as provided for in Sections 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12 hereof), the party who fails to so deliver a Reply Notice shall be deemed conclusively to have delivered a Reply Notice stating that such party does not accept the offer made by such Offering Notice.
5
(f) Price; Terms of Purchase. Any dispute concerning the calculation of the Adjusted Price or the Book Value Price shall be resolved by the Board of Directors of the Company (excluding any member of the Board of Directors of the Company whose shares are the subject of such dispute). In connection with any purchase and sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12, the purchaser or purchasers may at its or their option elect either (i) to pay in cash the aggregate purchase price for such shares, or (ii) to pay in cash one-fourth of the aggregate purchase price for such shares and to issue one or more negotiable promissory notes in payment of the balance of the purchase price for such shares. Any promissory note given for a portion of the purchase price shall be payable as to principal in equal annual installments over a period not to exceed three years from the date of such note, shall be secured by the shares of Common Stock sold with respect to such note, and shall provide for interest, payable annually as it accrues and concurrently with installments of principal, at the rate of interest established from time to time by the Bank as its prime rate. In the event of default in the payment of principal or interest for a period of 30 days with regard to such promissory note, the balance remaining to be paid under such note shall without further notice immediately become due and payable at the election of the holder. Such promissory notes shall provide that the maker agrees to pay the reasonable expenses of collection in the event of default, including attorneys' fees. Such promissory notes also shall provide that the maker has the option of prepayment in whole or in part at any time without penalty.
(g) Closing Date. Each transaction of purchase and sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12 shall be completed by delivery of the certificates representing such shares endorsed in blank and by actual registration of the transfer of such shares on the books of the Company upon payment of the purchase price to the Selling Stockholder. Any such transaction shall be closed at such time (within six months of the date of delivery of the first Offering Notice given in connection with such transaction) and place as shall be agreed upon by the parties thereto, or, if no such agreement is reached, at the principal office of the Company on a day (the "Closing Date") that is on the 30th day next following the date of delivery of the last Reply Notice given in connection with such transaction or, if such day shall not be a Business Day, on the first Business Day thereafter during normal business hours.
(h) Purchase Limitations on Company. Notwithstanding paragraph (e) of this Section 2.1, whenever any shares of Common Stock are offered to the Company pursuant to this Agreement and the Company elects to purchase such shares of Common Stock, if the Board of Directors of the Company (excluding any member of the Board of Directors of the Company whose shares of Common Stock are being offered to the Company pursuant to this Agreement) shall determine in good faith that the Company shall not be able lawfully to purchase all of such shares of Common Stock on the Closing Date under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended, the Company shall purchase on the Closing Date so much of such shares of Common Stock as it may lawfully purchase. In the event that the Company purchases less than all of such shares of Common Stock on the Closing Date, then the Company shall not, without the written consent of the offering Stockholder, pay dividends to any Stockholder until the remainder of such shares of Common Stock is purchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(i) Suspension of Company's Purchase Obligation. If the Company is unable on the Closing Date lawfully to purchase all of such shares of Common Stock, the obligation of the Company to buy and the obligation of the offering Stockholder to sell those shares of such Common Stock that the Company could not lawfully purchase shall continue until such time as the Company may lawfully discharge such obligation.

(j) Effect of Failure to Exercise Option. If neither the Company, nor the Investors, nor the Select Stockholders or other Stockholders accept an offer to purchase all of the shares of Common Stock of the offering Executive Stockholder or pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12, as the case may be, the offering Executive Stockholder or Stockholder, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to make a Disposition of such remaining shares that have not been sold pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12, as applicable, subject to the requirements of Section 2.5 hereof and each of the other requirements of this Agreement. In the case of an offer of the Selling Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof, if involuntary Disposition is not effected, each of the other provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 2.9 hereof, shall apply to any future involuntary Disposition of such shares of Common Stock owned by the Selling Stockholder.
(k) Exercise of Company Stock Options. Prior to the date of this Agreement the Company has issued options to purchase Common Stock to certain persons including certain Executive Stockholders, Stockholders and certain other persons who are not currently Stockholders. Pursuant to such options and pursuant to any options that may be issued in the future, the shares of Common Stock covered by such options become subject to this Agreement upon exercise of such options. Such options may be exercised for periods of time following the events set forth in Sections 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, and 2.11. Upon the exercise of any option following an event specified in any of such sections, the particular event set forth in such section shall be deemed to have occurred effective on the date of such exercise and the required offer and other procedures set forth in the particular section shall be made and apply in accordance with the provisions of the particular applicable section.

The Selling Group shall, on the Consummation Date and conditioned upon and contemporaneously
18
with the Sale, purchase, or cause the purchase by the Purchasers of, the shares of Common Stock of each Other Stockholder giving such notice, such purchase to be upon terms and conditions the same as those of the Sale.

At any time within 20 days after receipt by the Investors of the Investor Notice (the "Investor Notice Period"), one or more of the Investors holding at least ten percent (10%) of the Securities and the other Select Stockholders may, subject to the terms hereof, choose to accept the Offer with respect to all of the shares covered thereby by giving written notice to the Select Stockholder proposing to sell to such effect; provided that if two or more of the Investors and/or the other Select Stockholders choose, in the aggregate, to accept such Offer with respect to an aggregate number of shares which exceeds the number of shares subject to such Offer and available for purchase, the number of shares for which the Offer may be accepted by each such Investor and Select Stockholder shall, in each case, be reduced by the smallest number of shares as shall be necessary to reduce the aggregate number of shares for which the Offer may be accepted by the electing Investors and Select Stockholders as
20
contemplated herein to the number of shares for which the Offer was made and which are available for purchase by them; provided further, that the number of shares for which any Investor or Select Stockholder may accept such Offer as contemplated herein shall in no event be reduced to less than the number of shares which bears the same proportion to the total number of shares which are available for purchase as the number of shares of Common Stock then held by such Investor or Select Stockholder (on an as converted basis as contemplated by the Company's Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation") bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock then held by all Investors and Select Stockholders (on an as converted basis as contemplated by the Certificate of Designation) accepting such Offer.
(d) If shares covered by any Offer are purchased pursuant to Sections 3.2(b) or (c), such purchase shall be (i) at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as the Offer if the Offer is for cash and/or notes or (ii) if the Offer includes any consideration other than cash and notes, then at the equivalent all cash price for such other consideration. The closing of the purchase of the shares subject to an Offer pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall take place within 15 days after the expiration of the Company Notice Period or Investor Notice Period, as applicable, or upon satisfaction of any governmental approval requirements, if later, by delivery by the respective purchasers of the purchase price for shares being purchased as provided above to the selling Select Stockholder against delivery of the certificates representing the shares so purchased, appropriately endorsed for Transfer by such Select Stockholder.
3.3 "Right of Co-Sale".
(a) In the event any Select Stockholder (including for all purposes of this Section 3.3 any permitted transferees of a Select Stockholder as contemplated by Section 3.1) proposes to sell any shares or receives an Offer and any of such shares are not purchased pursuant to Section 3.2 above, such Select Stockholder (a "Transferring Stockholder") may transfer the shares subject thereto only following compliance with this Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 below. In such event, immediately following the last day of the Investor Notice Period, the Transferring Stockholder shall give an additional notice of the proposed sale to the Investors, once again enclosing a copy of the Offer, if applicable, which shall identify the Offeror and the number of shares proposed to be sold (the "Co-Sale Notice"). Upon the election of an Investor or Investors holding at least ten percent (10%) of the capital stock of the Company on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, each of the Investors shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Transferring Stockholder and any such permitted transferee within 20 days after delivery to it of the Co-Sale Notice (the "Co-Sale Notice Period"), to participate in the sale on the terms and conditions stated in the Co-Sale Notice, except that any Investor who holds shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Convertible Preferred Stock") shall be permitted to sell to the relevant purchaser shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion thereof or, at its election, either (i) an option to acquire such Common Stock when it receives the same upon such conversion at the election of such Investor or as otherwise provided in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or the certificate of designations, preferences and rights related to such Preferred Stock, in each case as amended, with the same effect as if Common Stock were being conveyed, or (ii) shares of Convertible Preferred Stock provided the acquiror pays the full liquidation preference of the shares being sold plus the relevant price per share for the underlying Common Stock. Each of the Investors shall have the right to sell all or any portion of its or his shares on the terms and conditions in the Co-Sale Notice (subject to the foregoing), with the maximum number of shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares proposed to be sold by the relevant Transferring Stockholder and any of its permitted transferees as described in the Co-Sale Notice by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Investor on the date of the Co-Sale Notice on an as converted basis, and the denominator of
21
which is the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Select Stockholders and their permitted transferees and the number of shares of Common Stock owned by all of the Investors (including all assignees of the Investors) as of the date of the Co-Sale Notice on an as converted basis. To the extent one or more Investors elect not to sell the full amount of shares which they are entitled to sell pursuant to this Section 3.1, the other participating Investors rights to sell shares shall be increased proportionately to their relative holdings of capital stock of the Company on an as converted to common stock basis, such that each Investor shall have the right to sell the full number of shares allocable to it in any transaction subject to this Section 3.1(a) even if some Investors or Select Stockholders elect not to participate. Within five days after the expiration of the Co-Sale Notice Period, the Transferring Stockholder shall notify each participating Investor of the number of shares held by such Investor that will be included in the sale and the date on which the sale will be consummated, which shall be no later than the later of (i) thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Co-Sale Notice and (ii) the satisfaction of all governmental approval requirements, if any. Each of the Investors may effect its participation in any sale hereunder by delivery to the purchaser, or to the Transferring Stockholder for transfer to the purchaser, of one or more instruments, certificates and/or option agreements, property endorsed for transfer, representing the shares it elects to sell therein, provided that no Investor shall be required to make any representations or warranties or to provide any indemnities in connection therewith other than with respect to title to the stock being conveyed. At the time of consummation of the sale, the purchaser shall remit directly to each Investor that portion of the sale proceeds to which each such Investor is entitled by reason of its participation therein. No shares may be purchased by a purchaser from the Transferring Stockholder or any of his permitted transferees unless the purchaser simultaneously purchases from the Investors all of the shares that they have elected to sell pursuant to this Section 3.1(a).
(b) Any shares held by a Transferring Stockholder or any of his permitted transferees that the Transferring Stockholder or transferee desires to sell following compliance with Section 3.2, may be sold to the purchaser only during the ninety (90)-day period after the expiration of the Co-Sale Notice Period and only on terms no more favorable to the Transferring Stockholder and such transferees than those contained in the Co-Sale Notice. Promptly after such sale, such Transferring Stockholder shall notify the Investors of the consummation thereof and shall furnish such evidence of the completion and time of completion of such sale and of the terms thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Investors. So long as the purchaser is neither a party, nor an affiliate or relative of a party, to this Agreement, such purchaser shall take the shares so transferred free and clear of any further restrictions of this Agreement. If, at the end of such 90-day period, such Transferring Stockholder and any of his transferees have not completed the sale of such shares as aforesaid, all the restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement shall again be in effect with respect to such shares.
3.4 "Exclusion". The foregoing provisions of Sections 3.3 shall not be applicable to any transfer among the Select Stockholders so long as (i) the Founding Stockholders own and/or have voting control of at least 6,049,720 shares of Common Stock and of the class of Common Stock for all purposes, and (ii) such transfers do not exceed 120,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, in each case subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and the like.
22
3.5 "Assignment". If all Select Stockholders (and their permitted transferees, if any) propose concurrent Disposition which are subject to Section 3.3, then the provisions of Sections 2.5 and Section 2.13 shall apply to each such proposed Disposition independently. Each Investor shall have the right to assign its rights under Section 2 in connection with any transaction or series of related transactions involving the Disposition to one or more transferees of at least 390,000 shares of capital stock of the Company (subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and the like and aggregating all contemporaneous Dispositions by two or more Investors), or to any TA Funds or JMI Funds. Upon any such Disposition such transferee or TA Fund or JMI Fund thereupon shall be deemed an "Investor" for purposes of this Section 3.
SECTION
4
MISCELLANEOUS
4.1 "Insurance." To provide a fund with which to purchase shares of the Common Stock upon the death and/or disability of an Individual Stockholder, the Company may, at its election, apply for insurance on the life and/or disability of a Stockholder. Should the Company elect to apply for insurance on the life and/or disability of a Stockholder, the Stockholder shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with the making of such applications. The Company shall be the owner and beneficiary of all insurance policies issued pursuant to such applications. The Company shall pay all premiums on such insurance policies. The Company may apply any dividends on such policies toward the payment of premiums. However, if the Company shall obtain insurance on the life and/or disability of a Stockholder, the Company shall not diminish the aggregate amount of proceeds payable upon the death and/or disability of the Stockholder under the policies evidencing such insurance unless and until the termination of this Agreement and the fulfillment of all obligations hereunder; except that in the event that the Stockholder's ownership of all or substantially all of such Stockholder's shares of Common Stock shall be terminated other than by reason of the death or disability of the Stockholder, the Company may diminish the aggregate amount of the proceeds payable upon the death and/or disability of the Stockholder to an amount not less than the principal amount of any note issued by the Company to the Stockholder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon the death or disability, as the case may be, of the Stockholder prior to the sale of all of the Stockholder's shares of Common Stock to the Company, the Company shall collect all proceeds of such policies, and the aggregate amount of such proceeds shall be applied by the Company to the purchase of the shares of Common Stock of the Stockholder. If however, the aggregate amount of the proceeds of such policies exceeds the price at which such shares of Common Stock are to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, then the Company shall retain the excess amount.
4.2 "Preemptive Rights." No Stockholder shall have preemptive rights upon the proposal of the Company to issue, or the issuance of, shares to any persons or entities.
23
4.3 "Notices." All notices (including Offering Notices and Reply Notices), requests, consents and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall be sent to the address described below, and shall be deemed to have been delivered (a) on the date mailed, if sent certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (ii) on the date received, if personally delivered or (iii) on the date sent by telegraph, if telegraphed and confirmed:

No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
24
4.7 "Calculation of Issued and Outstanding Stock." In connection with any calculation required to be made under this Agreement based upon the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at the time of such calculation, any shares of Common Stock (i) then owned or held by the Company or any consolidated subsidiary shall not be deemed to be issued and outstanding for purposes of such calculation, and (ii) subject to an option, or into which any security of the Company may be converted or exchanged, shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding for purposes of such calculation.

4.10 "Market Stand-Off Agreement." In connection with any underwritten public offering after the effective date of this Agreement pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the offering and sale of shares of Common Stock, or of any equity security that as a part of a unit includes Common Stock, for the account of the Company, each of the Founding Stockholders and each of the Stockholders, if and to the extent requested in good faith by the Company and the managing underwriter of securities of the Company, shall agree not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock held by him or her (except shares of Common Stock included in the registration statement relating to such underwritten public offering) at any time during a period following the effective date of the registration statement relating to such underwritten public offering; provided, however, that in no event shall such period exceed 180 days. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, subject to the foregoing exceptions, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock of each of the Founding Stockholders and each of the Stockholders (and the securities of every other person subject to such restriction) until the end of such period. The provisions of this Section 3.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of (i) five (5) years following the effective date of the first Qualified Public Offering, or (ii) such time as the Founding Stockholders and each of the Stockholders can sell all remaining shares of Common Stock held by him or her within a ninety (90) day period pursuant to Rule 144 or 145 under the Securities Act.
4.11 "Severability." If any term or provision contained in this Agreement is or is hereafter found to be inconsistent with, contrary to or invalid or unenforceable under any law or official rule, regulation or order, this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly and the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.
25
4.12 "Powers of Attorney." For the purpose of executing an Addendum Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Addendum Agreement"), the Investors, the Founding Stockholders and the Stockholders hereby appoint the Company (this "Appointment") as agent and attorney of the Investors, the Founding Stockholders and the Stockholders solely to execute such Addendum Agreement on their behalf and expressly bind themselves to the Addendum Agreement by the Company's execution of that Addendum Agreement without further action on their part.

SPOUSAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT
