acting as representatives of the underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to

common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), as
more fully described in the Underwriting Agreement and the Company’s final Prospectus, dated
, 2010 comprising part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File

, 2010 in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”).
WHEREAS, the Initial Stockholders have agreed, as a material inducement to the underwriters
executing and delivering an underwriting agreement in connection with the IPO, to deposit their
shares of initial stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, as set forth opposite their
respective names on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, and only for so long as any
such shares remain in the escrow account established by this agreement, the “Escrow Shares”), in
escrow as hereinafter provided.
WHEREAS, the Company and the Initial Stockholders desire that the Escrow Agent accept the
Escrow Shares, in escrow, to be held and disbursed as hereinafter provided.
IT IS AGREED:
1. Appointment of Escrow Agent. The Company and the Initial Stockholders hereby appoint
the Escrow Agent to act in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the
Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act in accordance with and subject to
such terms.
2. Deposit of Escrow Shares. On or before the date on which the IPO is consummated (the
“Closing Date”), as evidenced by a written notice from the Company to the Escrow Agent, each of the
Initial Stockholders shall deliver to the Escrow Agent certificates (with a medallion guaranteed
stock power) representing his, her or its respective Escrow Shares, to be held and disbursed
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Initial Stockholder acknowledges that
the certificate representing his Escrow Shares is legended to reflect the deposit of such Escrow
Shares under this Agreement.
3. Disbursement of the Escrow Shares.
3.1 Upon receipt of written instructions from the Company and subject to Section 3.3 below,
the Escrow Agent shall release the Escrow Shares to the Initial Stockholders ratably and in equal
installments on or after each of the first, second and third anniversary of the Closing Date, in
the amounts and on the dates set forth in written instructions provided to the Escrow Agent by the
Company; provided, however, that no Escrow Shares may be released until the earlier
of, as solely determined by a majority of the independent directors of the Company, (i) such time
as the total return on the investment made by the stockholders participating in the IPO, which
shall be equal to the sum of (a) any increase or decrease in the trading price of the Company’s
common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market or another nationally-recognized exchange compared to the
purchase price paid by investors in the IPO (the “IPO Price”) as adjusted for any stock splits or
reverse stock splits, plus (b) the cumulative cash value of any dividends or other distributions
paid by the Company on its common stock sold in the IPO, is equal to or exceeds at the time of such
calculation (x) 20% of the IPO Price on a date after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, at
which time one-third (1/3) of each Initial Stockholder’s Escrow Shares shall be released to each
Initial Stockholder, (y) 25% of the IPO Price on a date after the second anniversary of the Closing
Date, at which time one-third (1/3) of each Initial Stockholder’s Escrow Shares shall be released
to each Initial Stockholder, and (z) 30% of the IPO Price on a date after the third anniversary of
the Closing Date, at which time the final one-third (1/3) of each Initial Stockholder’s Escrow
Shares shall be released to each Initial Stockholder, or (ii) the tenth anniversary of the Closing
Date, at which time any remaining Escrow Shares shall be forfeited by the Initial Stockholders and
returned to the Company by the Escrow Agent. For the avoidance of any doubt, upon receipt of
written instructions from the Company, any unreleased Initial Stock shall be released ratably to
the holders of Initial Stock by the Escrow Agent upon satisfaction of the foregoing requirements
during or after any year in which such Initial Stock may be released in accordance with the
foregoing requirements until the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date. In no event shall the
Escrow Agent have any responsibility for determining either the amounts or the timing of the
release of the Escrow Shares, beyond acting in accordance with the instructions it receives from
the Company. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Escrow Agent shall incur no liability for acting
in accordance with instructions it receives with respect to the release of Escrow Shares in
connection with any written instructions received in accordance with this Section 3,
notwithstanding that the above-described conditions or any other conditions discussed throughout
this Section 3 have not been satisfied, as such determination is not the responsibility of the
Escrow Agent. The period the Escrow Shares are to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent pursuant to
this Section 3.1 is hereinafter referred to as the “Escrow Period. The Escrow Agent shall have no
further duties hereunder after the disbursement or destruction of the Escrow Shares in accordance
with this Section 3.
3.2 The Company’s Executive Chairman, Xxxxx. X. Xxxx, Chief Executive Officer, E. Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxx, and President, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx (collectively, the “Identified Executive Officers”), each
an Initial Stockholder and signatory hereto, are only entitled to their respective Escrow Shares
for so long as they remain employees of the Company and/or its subsidiaries (except as otherwise
set forth in Section 3.3), and the Initial Stockholders who are not Identified Executive Officers
are only entitled to their respective Escrow Shares for so long as they remain employees of the
Company, its subsidiaries and/or its affiliates (except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.3).
Upon such time as any such Initial Stockholder ceases to be an employee in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence, any portion of such Initial Stockholder’s
2
Escrow Shares that remain in the escrow account established pursuant to this Agreement shall be
forfeited to the Company for disbursement to such party as the Company specifies; provided
however, that any Escrow Shares forfeited by an Identified Executive Officer to the Company
may not be returned by the Company to such Identified Executive Officer. Any written instruction
from the Company instructing the Escrow Agent to release any portion or all of the Escrow Shares
shall include a statement that each of the Initial Stockholders is an employee of the Company, its
subsidiaries and/or its affiliates, as the case may be, and, if any Initial Stockholder is no
longer an employee of the Company, its subsidiaries and/or its affiliates, as the case may be, a
statement to that effect accompanied by a direction to deliver such Initial Stockholder’s remaining
Escrow Shares (i) in the case of the Identified Executive Officers, to the Company for disbursement
to such person or entity as determined by the Company, and (ii) in the case of the remaining
Initial Stockholders who are not also Identified Executive Officers, either to such Initial
Stockholder or to the Company for disbursement to such person or entity as determined by the
Company in accordance with those certain Stock Powers, each dated as of March 10, 2010, between
each of the Initial Stockholders and either HCCP Manager LLC or JF RHC LLC, as the case may be
(each a “Stock Power”), or, in such circumstances as the relevant provisions of any such Stock
Power have been modified, superseded, invalidated or terminated in any manner whatsoever by any
subsequent agreement or court order with respect to the Escrow Shares governed by such Stock Power,
as evidenced by notice to such effect from the Company to the Escrow Agent, in accordance with such
subsequent agreement or court order, as the case may be. In no event shall the Escrow Agent have
any responsibility for determining whether any Initial Stockholder is an employee of the Company or
its affiliates, beyond confirming that the written instructions received from the Company include a
statement to such effect.
3.3 Notwithstanding Section 3.2 or any provision of a Stock Power, if at any time the Company
experiences a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreements, each dated
, 2010, between each of the Identified Executive Officers and the Company (the “Employment
Agreements”)), then the Company shall provide the Escrow Agent with written instructions to release
all of the Escrow Shares to the Company for ratable disbursement to each Initial Stockholder and
the Escrow Period shall be immediately terminated upon such release. Furthermore, if an Initial
Stockholder (whether or not such Initial Stockholder is party to an Employment Agreement) (A) is
terminated by written notice from the Company, its subsidiaries and/or its affiliates (as
applicable in accordance with Section 3.2) to such Initial Stockholder without Cause (as such term
is defined in the Employment Agreements), (B) provides written notice to the Company, its
subsidiaries or its affiliates (as applicable in accordance with Section 3.2) that such Initial
Stockholder is terminating his or her employment for Good Reason (as such term is defined in the
Employment Agreements) or (C) is terminated due to Death (as such term is defined in the Employment
Agreements) or Disability (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreements), then the Company
shall provide the Escrow Agent with written instructions as soon as practicable thereafter to
release all of such Initial Stockholder’s Escrow Shares to the Company for disbursement to such
Initial Stockholder.
4. Rights of Initial Stockholders in Escrow Shares.
4.1 Dividends and Other Distributions in Respect of the Escrow Shares. During the
Escrow Period, all dividends or other distributions (“Cash Dividends”) payable in cash and all
3
dividends payable in stock or other non-cash property (“Non-Cash Dividends”) on the Escrow
Shares shall be delivered ratably and directly by the Company to each Initial Stockholder, and the
Escrow Agent shall not accept receipt of any such Cash Dividends or Non-Cash Dividends.
4.2 Restrictions on Transfer. During the Escrow Period, no sale, transfer or other
disposition may be made of any or all of the Escrow Shares, except (i) by gift to a member of
Initial Stockholder’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is an Initial
Stockholder or a member of an Initial Stockholder’s immediate family, (ii) by virtue of the laws of
descent and distribution upon death of any Initial Stockholder, (iii) pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order, or (iv) in accordance with Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 above, all as
evidenced by written notice and instruction from the Company to the Escrow Agent,;
provided, however, that such permissive transfers may be implemented only upon the
respective transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. During the Escrow Period, the Initial Stockholders shall not pledge or grant a security
interest in the Escrow Shares or grant a security interest in their rights under this Agreement.

omitted by it in good faith, and may rely conclusively

provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which
is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or
persons.
5.2 Indemnification. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company from and against any expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered
