SECTION 3
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
3.1 Form S-3 Registration.
(a) Filing of the Registration Statement. Within ninety (90) days of the initial date
of this Agreement set forth above (the “Registration Period”), the Company shall file pursuant to
Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offerings of securities on a
continuous or delayed basis (i) a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act (on Form
S-3, if available) with respect to the registration for resale of the Conversion
Shares (the “Shelf Registration”) and (ii) all such qualifications and compliances as may be
so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of the Conversion Shares.
The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the SEC to declare such Shelf
Registration effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.
(b) Registration Effective Period. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to
cause the Shelf Registration to remain effective until such time as (i) none of the Preferred Stock
remains outstanding or (ii) each Shareholder is permitted to sell its Potential Common Holdings to
the market without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume
limitation or other restrictions on transfer thereunder. The period of time referred to in the
immediately preceding sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Effective Period.”
6
(c) Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Shareholders may distribute Conversion Shares in
an underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Offering”) pursuant to a Shelf Registration under this
Section 3.1 only with the written consent of the Company, which consent may be delayed, conditioned
or withheld in the sole discretion of the Company.
(d) Suspension of Shelf Registration. Upon delivery to the Shareholders of a
certificate of the Company signed by its Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating
that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and
its stockholders for offerings to be made pursuant to the Shelf Registration, the Shareholders
shall immediately cease all offerings pursuant to the Shelf Registration for a period of not more
than ninety (90) days after receipt of such certificate; provided, however, the
Company shall not utilize this right more than twice in any twelve (12) month period.
3.2 Piggyback Registration.
(a) Participation. If at any time the Shelf Registration is not effective during the
Registration Period or the Registration Effective Period and the Company proposes to file a
Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to any shares of Common Stock, whether
for its own account or for the account of any other Persons (other than (i) a Registration on Form
S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such Forms, or (ii) a Registration of securities solely
relating to an offering and sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee
stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement) (a “Company Public Sale”), then, as soon as
practicable (but in no event less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of filing such
Registration Statement), the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all
Shareholders, and such notice shall offer the Shareholders the opportunity to Register under such
Registration Statement such number of Conversion Shares as each such Shareholder may request in
writing, not to exceed the aggregate number of Conversion Shares that such Shareholder holds or
would hold upon conversion of its Preferred Stock (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to
Section 3.2(b), the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all such
Conversion Shares which are requested to be included therein within fifteen (15) days after the
receipt by such Shareholder of any such written notice of the proposed Company Public Sale;
provided, however, that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention
to Register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in
connection with such Registration, the Company shall determine for any
reason not to Register or to delay Registration of such securities, the Company shall give
written notice of such determination to each Shareholder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a
determination not to Register, shall be relieved of its obligation to Register any Conversion
Shares in connection with such Registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration
Expenses in connection therewith) and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay Registering,
shall be permitted to delay Registering any Conversion Shares, for the same period as the delay in
Registering such other securities. If the Company Public Sale pursuant to such Registration
Statement is to be an Underwritten Offering, then each Shareholder making a request for a Piggyback
Registration pursuant to this Section 3.2(a) (a “Participating Shareholder”) must
participate in the underwriting agreement with respect thereto. If the offering pursuant to such
Registration Statement is to be on any other basis, then each Participating Shareholder must, and
the Company shall make such reasonable arrangements so that each Participating Shareholder may,
participate in such offering on such basis. Each Shareholder shall be
7
permitted to withdraw all or
part of such Shareholder’s portion of the Conversion Shares from a Piggyback Registration at any
time.
(b) Priority of Piggyback Registration. If the managing underwriter or underwriters
of any proposed Underwritten Offering of Conversion Shares included in a Piggyback Registration
informs the Company and the Shareholders in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of
securities which the Participating Shareholders and any other Persons intend to include in such
offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a
significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the
market for the securities offered, then the securities to be included in such Registration shall be
(i) first, 100% of the securities that the Company seeks to include in such offering, and (ii)
second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, the number of
Conversion Shares and all other securities proposed to be included in the offering that, in the
reasonable opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having a
materially adverse effect on the Underwritten Offering, with such number to be allocated pro
rata among the Participating Shareholders and holders of such other securities based on the
relative number of Conversion Shares and such other securities requested to be included therein
then held by each such Participating Shareholder or other holder (subject to Section 3.6
below).
3.3 Black-out Periods.
(a) Black-out Periods for Holders. In the event of a Company Public Sale of the
Company’s equity securities in an Underwritten Offering, the Shareholders agree, if and to the
extent requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in such Underwritten Offering, not to
directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including any short sale), grant any
option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be
similarly bound) (except, in each case, as part of the applicable Registration, if permitted) that
are the same as or similar to those being Registered in connection with such Company Public Sale,
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the
period beginning seven (7) days before and ending ninety (90) days (or such lesser period as may be
permitted by the Company or such managing underwriter or underwriters) after, the effective date of
the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, to the extent timely
notified in writing by the Company or the managing underwriter or
underwriters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Shareholder or any other person who is
bound by obligations similar to those set forth in this Section 3.3 is released in whole or
in part from the obligation not to effect any public sale or distribution, then the Shareholders
shall be similarly released from such obligations at the same time on a pro rata basis.
3.4 Registration Procedures.
(a) In connection with the Company’s Registration obligations under Sections 3.1 and
3.2, the Company shall as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:
(i) prepare the required Registration Statement including all exhibits and financial
statements required under the Securities Act to be filed therewith, and before filing a
Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, (x) furnish to
8

written comments by the SEC or any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental

when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the applicable
Registration Statement or the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (as then in
effect) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of such prospectus and any preliminary
prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or, if for any
other reason it shall be necessary during such time period to amend or supplement such Registration
Statement or prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act and, in either case as promptly
as reasonably practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the SEC, and furnish without charge to
the selling holders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, an amendment or
supplement to such Registration Statement or prospectus which shall correct such misstatement or
omission or effect such compliance;
9
(v) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent or obtain the withdrawal of any stop order or
other order suspending the use of any preliminary or final prospectus;
(vi) promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such
information as the managing underwriter or underwriters and the Majority of Shareholders reasonably
request in writing should be included therein relating to the plan of distribution with respect to
the Conversion Shares; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after being notified of the matters to
be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;
(vii) furnish to each Shareholder and each underwriter, if any, without charge, as many

(including those incorporated by reference);
(viii) deliver to each Shareholder and each underwriter, if any, without charge, as many
copies of the applicable prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or

that the Company consents to the use of such prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by
each of the Shareholders and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of
the Conversion Shares covered by such prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto) and such
other documents as such Shareholder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the disposition of the Conversion Shares by such Shareholder or underwriter;
(ix) on or prior to the date on which the applicable Registration Statement is declared
effective, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, and cooperate with the
Shareholders, the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel, in
connection with the registration or qualification of such Conversion Shares for offer and sale
under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States
as any Shareholder or managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or their respective counsel
reasonably request in writing and do any and all other acts or things
reasonably necessary or advisable to keep such registration or qualification in effect for
such period as required by Section 3.1(b), provided that the Company shall not be

(xiv) obtain for delivery to the Shareholders and to the underwriter or underwriters, if any,
an opinion or opinions from counsel for the Company dated the effective date of the Registration

underwriting agreement, in customary form, scope and substance, which opinions shall be reasonably
satisfactory to such Shareholders or underwriters, as the case may be, and their respective

collectively “Losses”) arising out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which any of the Conversion Shares
were Registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary prospectus
contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by
reference therein), or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries including, without limitation, reports and other documents filed under the
Exchange Act, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus or
preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or
(iii) any actions or inactions or proceedings in respect of the foregoing whether or not such
indemnified party is a party thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not
be liable to any particular indemnified party to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is
based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made (x)
in any such Registration
13
Statement or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such indemnified party expressly for use in the preparation thereof or
(y) in a preliminary prospectus, if a prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) that would have
cured the defect was furnished to such indemnified party from whom the Person asserting the claim
giving rise to such Loss purchased the Conversion Shares at least five (5) days prior to the
written confirmation of the sale of the Conversion Shares to such Person, and a copy of such
prospectus (as amended and supplemented) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such indemnified
party to such Person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Conversion Shares
to such Person. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise
have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of such Shareholder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such
securities by such Shareholder.
(b) Indemnification by the Shareholders. Each Shareholder agrees (severally and not
jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its
directors, officers, legal counsel and accountants and each Person who controls the Company (within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses resulting from
(i) any untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement under which any
Conversion Shares were Registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or
summary prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any
documents incorporated by reference therein), or (ii) any omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a
prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or
omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Shareholder to the Company
specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement. In no event shall the liability of any
Shareholder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by
such Shareholder under the sale of the Conversion Shares giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification
hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any delay or failure to so notify the
indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the
extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or
failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any
Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate
counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Person unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to
pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of
such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person entitled
to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (iii) the
indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be
legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition
to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iv) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person
(based upon advice of its counsel) a conflict of interest may exist
14
between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if
the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate
counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right
to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). No indemnifying party in the
defense of any claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent
to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of an unconditional
release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. If such defense is not assumed
by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any
settlement made without its prior written consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably
withheld. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with
any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees,
disbursements or other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such
jurisdiction at any one time unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized
in writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has reasonably concluded
(based on the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are
different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties or (z) a conflict
or potential conflict exists or may exist (based upon advice of counsel to an indemnified party)
between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the
indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional
counsel or counsels.
(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this Section 3.8 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in
respect of any Losses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the
indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the acts, statements or omissions
that resulted in such losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In
connection with any Registration Statement filed with the SEC by the Company, the relative fault of
the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged 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.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 3.8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section
3.8(d), the amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred
to in Sections 3.8(a) and 3.8(b) shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 3.8(d), in connection with any Registration Statement filed by
the Company, a Shareholder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar
15
amount of the net proceeds received by such Shareholder under the sale of the Conversion
Shares giving rise to such contribution obligation. If indemnification is available under this
Section 3.8, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full
extent provided in Sections 3.8(a) and 3.8(b) hereof without regard to the
provisions of this Section 3.8(c). The remedies provided for in this Section 3.8
are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any
indemnified party at law or in equity.
3.9 Rules 144 and 144A. (a) The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to
be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted
by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the
request of any Shareholder, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as
necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rules 144 or 144A under the Securities Act), and it will take
such further action as any Shareholder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time
to time to enable such Shareholder to sell Conversion Shares and Preferred Shares without
Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules
144 or 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any
similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Shareholder, the
Company will deliver to such Shareholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with
such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.
3.10 Termination. Except for the provisions of Sections 3.8 and 3.9, the
registration rights provided for in this Section 3 shall terminate upon the earlier of (i)
the date as of which none of the Preferred Stock remains outstanding or (ii) the date as of which
each Shareholder is permitted to sell its Potential Common Holdings to the market without
registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume limitation or other
restrictions on transfer thereunder. The provisions of Sections 3.8 and 3.9 shall
survive any such termination.
SECTION 4

4.1 Board Representation.
(a) The Company shall take all Necessary Action to cause the Board to have at least one
director who shall be designated by the holders of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms
of the Certificate of Designation governing the rights, preferences and privileges of the Preferred
Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”).
4.2 Expenses. The Company shall reimburse any director designated by the Preferred Stock
pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation for all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such director’s attendance at and participation in meetings of the
Board, including without limitation, travel, lodging and meal expenses.
SECTION 5
MISCELLANEOUS

5.1 Waiver by Shareholders. The rights and obligations contained in this Agreement are in
addition to the relevant provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company
in force from time to time and shall be construed to comply with such provisions. To the extent
that this Agreement is determined to contravene the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the
Company, this Agreement shall constitute a waiver by each Shareholder, to the fullest extent
permissible under applicable laws, of any right such Shareholder may have pursuant to the
Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company that is inconsistent with this Agreement.
5.2 Assignment; Benefit. Prior to consummating any transfer of any Preferred Stock from any
Shareholder to any Person (other than in connection with a registered sale pursuant to Section
3 hereof), the transferring Shareholder shall cause each prospective transferee thereof to
execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder Agreement, the form of which is attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit A. Any assignment of rights or obligations in violation of this
Section 5.2 shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and
there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement other than the indemnitees under
Section 3.8.
5.3 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate as to any Shareholder at such time as such
Shareholder ceases to own any Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Sections 3.8, 4.1, 4.2, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4,
5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10 and 5.11
shall survive the termination of this agreement.
5.4 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable such provision shall be construed by limiting it so as to be valid, legal and
enforceable to the maximum extent provided by law and the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
5.5 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and
agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and supersedes
and replaces any prior understanding, agreement or statement of intent, in each case written or
oral, of any kind and every nature with respect hereto. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or
waived in whole or in part at any time without an agreement in writing executed by the Company and
a Majority of Shareholders. No waiver of any breach of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be
effective unless such waiver is expressly made in writing and executed and delivered by the party
against whom such waiver is claimed. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision
of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such
breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right,
power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or
remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy.
17
5.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts each
of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.
5.7 Notices. Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices, consents, approvals, reports,
designations, requests, waivers, elections and other communications authorized or required to be
given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given, made or delivered (and
shall be deemed to have been duly given, made or delivered upon receipt) by personal hand-delivery,

5.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York applicable to a contract executed and performed in such State,
without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
5.9 Jurisdiction. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto irrevocably agrees
that any proceeding with respect to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any
judgment in respect thereof brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns, may be
brought and determined in the Supreme Court of the State of New
18
York in New York County or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and each party hereto hereby
irrevocably submits with regard to any such Proceeding for itself and in respect to its properties,
generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, provided,
however, that such consent to jurisdiction is solely for the purpose referred to in this
Section 5.9 and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to the jurisdiction of said
courts or in the State of New York other than for such purpose.
5.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE
WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT SUCH PARTY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS
PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY
ISSUE, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH THE DEALINGS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE, IN EACH CASE
WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. ANY PARTY
HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 5.10 WITH ANY COURT AS
WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.
5.11 Specific Performance. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to
measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties fail to comply with any of the
obligations herein imposed on them by Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this Agreement and
that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved party will be irreparably damaged and will not
have an adequate remedy at law. Any such party shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any
other remedy to which such party may be entitled at law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to
enforce such obligations, without the posting of any bond, and if any action should be brought in
equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise
the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Form of Joinder Agreement
THIS JOINDER AGREEMENT TO THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT is made as of [___], 20[___]
(the “Agreement”), by and among ONLINE RESOURCES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), a Majority of Shareholders under the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined below) and [ ], a [ ] organized under the laws of [ ] (the “New Shareholder”).
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Investor
Rights Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS, the Company has entered into the attached Investor Rights Agreement (as the same may
be amended from time to time, the “Investor Rights Agreement”), dated as of July [___], 2006, with
the Shareholders party thereto;
WHEREAS, New Shareholder wishes to acquire shares of Preferred Stock (the “Acquired
Stock”); and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Shareholders require that, in connection with and as condition to
New Shareholder’s acquisition of the Acquired Stock, New Shareholder execute and deliver this
Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises, covenants and
agreements of the parties hereto, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. New Shareholder and the Company hereby agree that New Shareholder shall become and does
become a party to the Investor Rights Agreement and assumes the rights and obligations of a
Shareholder with respect to the Acquired Stock under the Investor Rights Agreement and all other
rights, obligations, and duties granted to or imposed on it as a Shareholder under the Investor
Rights Agreement. New Shareholder and the Company hereby further agree to perform, observe and
discharge promptly and fully all of their covenants, agreements, terms and conditions under the
Investor Rights Agreement on and after the date of this Agreement in the same manner and with the
same force and effect as if New Shareholder had originally executed the Investor Rights Agreement.
2. New Shareholder represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, as follows:
(a) Existence; Authority; Enforceability. New Shareholder has the power and authority
to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder. New Shareholder is duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and the
execution of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, have
been authorized by all necessary action, and no other act or
proceeding on its part is necessary to authorize the execution of this Agreement or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed
by it and constitutes a legal, valid, binding obligation of New Shareholder, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, receivership and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally,
and general equitable principles.
(b) Absence of Conflicts. The execution and delivery by New Shareholder of this
Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder does not and will not (a) conflict with,
or result in the breach of any provision of the constitutive documents of New Shareholders; (b)
result in any violation, breach, conflict, default or event of default (or an event that with
notice, lapse of time or both would constitute a default or event of default), or give rise to any
right of acceleration or termination or any additional payment obligation under the terms of any
contract, agreement or permit to which such party is a party or by which New Shareholder’s assets
or operations are bound or affected; or (c) violate any law applicable to New Shareholder.
(c) Consents. Other than any consents that have already been obtained, no consent,
waiver, approval, authorization, exemption, registration, license or declaration is required to be
made or obtained by New Shareholder in connection with (i) the execution, delivery or performance

be taken such actions and execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged
and delivered, such instruments, documents, transfers and conveyances as may be required for
effectuating the purposes of this Agreement.
4. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the
same instrument.
