WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, the Management Stockholder has been selected by the Company (i) to exchange certain shares of common stock of the Company owned immediately prior to the Effective Time for new shares of Common Stock (the “Rollover Stock”) pursuant to an Exchange and Purchase Agreement entered into between the Management Stockholder and Hercules Holding (the “Exchange Agreement”), which exchange the Parties intend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be treated as an exchange of shares by the Management Stockholder in a transaction described in section 1036 and/or section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in which no gain or loss is recognized by the Management Stockholder; (ii) to exchange all or a portion of the Management Stockholder’s options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company outstanding prior to the effective time of the Merger for fully-exercisable options to purchase Common Stock after the Merger (the “Rollover Options”) pursuant to the terms of the Company’s current option plan under which the options were issued (the “Pre-Merger Plans”), as adjusted pursuant to the Option Rollover Agreement to be entered into between the Management Stockholder and the Company (the “Option Rollover Agreement”); (iii) to be permitted to transfer to the Company cash in exchange for shares of Common Stock (the “Purchased Stock”); and/or (iv) to receive options to purchase shares of Common Stock (the

3. Transferability of Stock.

(a) The Management Stockholder agrees that he or she will not transfer any shares of Stock at any time during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that during such period, the Management Stockholder may transfer shares of Stock during such time pursuant to one of the following exceptions: (i) transfers permitted by Sections 4 (but only for the period set forth therein), 5, 6 or 7; (ii) transfers permitted by clauses (II), (III) and (IV) of Section 2(a); (iii) a sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act filed by the Company, including upon the proper exercise of registration rights of such Management Stockholder under Section 10 (excluding any registration on Form X-0, X-0 or any successor or similar form); (iv) transfers permitted pursuant to the Sale Participation Agreement (as defined in Section 8); (v) transfers permitted by the Board or (vi) transfers to

any of the Investors (any such exception, a “Permitted Transfer”). In addition, during the period commencing on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date through the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Management Stockholder may only transfer shares of Stock to the extent that, at the time of any such transfer, the Management Stockholders Transfer Ratio does not exceed the Investor Transfer Ratio. For purposes of this Section 3(a),

(i) the “Management Stockholders Transfer Ratio” shall mean the quotient, expressed as a percentage, of (x) the aggregate number shares of Common Stock transferred (other than through Permitted Transfers described in clauses (ii) and (vi) of Section 3(a)) by the Management Stockholder Entities and all Other Management Stockholders (including the Management Stockholder’s Trust and Management Stockholder’s Estate of such Other Management Stockholders) prior to and including the date of the proposed transfer (including for the avoidance of doubt shares of Common Stock proposed to be transferred on such date), as recorded on the books of the Company and/or reflected in any relevant documentation divided by (y) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (without duplication) which have been issued or are otherwise issuable (upon the exercise of Options or otherwise) to or have been or are otherwise owned by the Management Stockholder Entities and all Other Management Stockholders (including the Management Stockholder’s Trust and Management Stockholder’s Estate of such Other Management Stockholders) prior to and including the relevant time and which are not subject to vesting or similar restrictions;

(ii) the “Investor Transfer Ratio” shall mean the quotient, expressed as a percentage, of (x) the number shares of Common Stock transferred for value by the Investors (other than among Investors or to any of their respective affiliates or affiliated funds) on or prior to the relevant time divided by (y) the Aggregate Investor Ownership Share Number; and

(iii) the “Aggregate Investor Ownership Share Number” shall mean the sum of (x) the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date (but immediately after the Effective Time and giving effect to the issuance of Purchased Stock and Rollover Stock on the Closing Date), times (B) the Investors HoldCo Ownership Percentage as of the Closing Date (but immediately after the Effective Time and giving effect to the issuance of Purchased Stock and Rollover Stock on the Closing Date), times (C) the HoldCo Company Ownership Percentage as of the Closing Date (but immediately after the Effective Time and giving effect to the issuance of Purchased Stock and Rollover Stock on the Closing Date) and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock acquired or held directly (for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of the ownership represented by clause (x)) by the Investors between the period from the Closing Date up to the relevant time at which the Investor Transfer Ratio is determined.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Section 3(a) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

(c) No transfer of any such shares in violation hereof shall be made or recorded on the books of the Company and any such transfer shall be void ab initio and of no effect.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Investors may, at any time and from time to time, by unanimous agreement, waive the restrictions on transfers contained in Section 3(a), whether such waiver is made prior to or after the transferee has effected or committed to effect the transfer, or has notified the Investors of such transfer or commitment to transfer. Any transfers made pursuant to such waiver or which are later made subject to such a waiver shall, as of the date of the waiver and at all times thereafter, not be deemed to violate any applicable restrictions on transfers contained in this Agreement.

4. Right of First Offer. (a) If, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the consummation of the IPO, the Management Stockholder proposes to transfer any or all of the Management Stockholder’s Stock to a third party (any such third party, the “ROFO Transferee”) (other than any transfer pursuant to clauses (II), (III), (IV), (V) and (VI) of Section 2(a), to the extent made to a third party), the Management Stockholder shall notify the Company in writing of the Management Stockholder’s intention to transfer such Stock (such written notice, a “ROFO Notice”). The ROFO Notice shall include a true and correct description of the number of shares of Stock to be transferred and the material terms of such proposed transfer or if requested by the Company, a copy of any proposed documentation to be entered into with any ROFO Transferee in respect of such transfer) and shall contain an irrevocable offer to sell such Stock to the Company (in the manner set forth below) at a purchase price equal to the minimum price at which the Management Stockholder proposes to transfer such Stock to any ROFO Transferee and on substantially the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer. At any time within thirty (30) days after the date of the receipt by the Company of the ROFO Notice, the Company shall have the right and option to purchase, or to arrange for a subsidiary, third party or Affiliate to purchase, all (but not less than all) of the shares of Stock proposed to be transferred to a ROFO Transferee, pursuant to Section 4(b).

(b) The Company shall have the right and option to purchase, or to arrange for a subsidiary, third party or Affiliate to purchase, all of the shares of Stock proposed to be transferred to any ROFO Transferee at a purchase price equal to the minimum price at which the Management Stockholder proposes to transfer such Stock to any ROFO Transferee and otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer (or, if the proposed transfer to any ROFO Transferee includes any consideration other than cash, then at the sole option of the Company, at the equivalent all cash price, determined in good faith by the Board after consultation with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company), by delivering (i) a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) and/or (ii) any such non-cash consideration to be paid to the Management Stockholder at the principal office of the Company against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the shares of Stock so purchased, appropriately endorsed by the Management Stockholder. If at the end of the 30-day period, the Company has not tendered the purchase price for such shares in the manner set forth above, the Management Stockholder may, during the succeeding 60-day period, sell not less than all of the shares of Stock proposed to be transferred to any ROFO Transferee on terms no less favorable to the Management Stockholder than those contained in the ROFO Notice. Promptly after such sale, the Management Stockholder shall notify the Company 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 Company. If, at the end of sixty (60) days following the expiration of the 30-day period during which the Company is entitled hereunder to purchase the Stock, the Management

Stockholder has not completed the sale of such shares of the Stock as aforesaid, all of the restrictions on sale, transfer or assignment contained in this Agreement shall again be in effect with respect to such shares of the Stock.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 4 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of occurrence of a Change in Control or the IPO.

5. Pre-Emptive Rights.

(a) If at any time prior to the IPO, the Company issues or sells any shares of Common Stock proposed to be purchased for value, directly or indirectly, by any of the Investors or any of their respective Affiliates (the “Offered Stock”), or permits any direct or indirect subsidiary to propose such issuance or sale, each Senior Management Stockholder (together with the other Senior Management Stockholders, the “Pre-Emptive Rights Holders”) shall have a preemptive right to purchase or subscribe for the number or amount of such shares of Offered Stock in the offering as such Senior Management Stockholder may elect to purchase or subscribe for, up to and including such Senior Management Stockholder’s ownership percentage (not including Common Stock acquirable by exercise of options) in the Company (determined as of the time of the Board’s approval of such issuance) of the total number or amount of Offered Stock proposed to be issued (the “Participation Threshold”). The Company shall provide each Senior Management Stockholder with notice of a proposed issuance or sale subject to this pre-emptive right at least 10 days prior to such issuance (the “Participation Notice”) specifying the principal terms and conditions of the proposed issuance or sale, including (A) the amount and kind of Offered Stock to be included in the issuance or sale, (B) the price per share of Common Stock subject to issuance or sale, including a description of any pricing formulae and of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit valuation thereof and (C) the name and address of the Person to whom the Offered Stock is proposed to be issued. If such Senior Management Stockholder exercises his or her pre-emptive right, he or she shall be required to pay the same consideration for each share of Offered Stock as the Company shall receive for each share of Offered Stock purchased by a Person other than a Pre-Emptive Rights Holder and as the Company shall have specified in its notice of the proposed issuance (except that if the Company or its subsidiary, as applicable, receives non-cash consideration, the Senior Management Stockholder shall have the option, if he or she so chooses, to pay in cash the Fair Market Value of such non-cash consideration). The pre-emptive right given by the Company pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall terminate if the Senior Management Stockholder shall not have notified the Company in writing of its election to exercise such right within ten (10) days after receipt of the notice of the proposed issuance; provided that such right shall become available once again if the price or any other material term of the proposed issuance shall change, in which case the parties shall again follow the procedures set forth in this Section 5(a).

Each Pre-Emptive Rights Holder desiring to accept the offer contained in the Participation Notice shall accept such offer by furnishing a written commitment to the Company or the issuing subsidiary, as the case may be, within ten (10) days after the effectiveness of the Participation Notice specifying the amount of Offered Stock (not in any event to exceed such Pre-Emptive Rights Holder’s Participation Threshold) for which such Pre-Emptive Rights Holder desires to subscribe (each a “Participating Buyer”). Each Participation Buyer who does not so accept such offer in compliance with the above requirements, including the applicable time period, shall be deemed to have waived all rights

to participate in such issuance or sale, and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries, if applicable) shall thereafter be free to issue the Offered Stock to the prospective subscriber and any other Participating Buyers, at a price no less than the minimum price set forth in the Participation Notice and on other principal terms not materially more favorable to the prospective subscriber and any other Participating Buyers than those set forth in the Participation Notice, without any further obligation to such non-accepting Pre-Emptive Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 5(a). If, prior to consummation, the terms of such proposed issuance or sale shall change with the result that the price shall be less than the minimum price set forth in the Participation Notice or the other principal terms shall be materially more favorable to the prospective subscriber than those set forth in the Participation Notice, it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 5(a) separately complied with, in order to consummate such issuance or sale pursuant to this Section 5(a).

(b) The acceptance of each Participating Buyer shall be irrevocable except as hereinafter provided, and each such Participating Buyer shall be bound and obligated to acquire in the issuance or sale on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each unit of Offered Stock issued, as the prospective subscriber, such amount of Offered Stock as such Participating Buyer shall have specified in such Participating Buyer’s written commitment; provided, however, that if any of the economic terms of the issuance or sale change, including without limitation if the per share price will be greater than the per share price disclosed in the Participation Notice, or any of the other principal terms or conditions will be materially less favorable to the Participating Buyer than those described in the Participation Notice, the Company or the issuing subsidiary, as the case may be, will provide written notice thereof to each Participating Buyer and each Participating Buyer will then be given an opportunity to withdraw the offer contained in such holder’s written commitment (by providing prompt (and in any event within 5 business days) notice of such withdrawal to the Company or the issuing subsidiary, whereupon such withdrawing Participating Buyers will be released from all obligations thereunder.

(c) If at the end of the 180th day following the date of the effectiveness of the Participation Notice the Company or the issuing subsidiary, as the case may be, has not completed the issuance or sale, each Participating Buyer shall be released from all obligations under the written commitment, the Participation Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 5 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Issuance pursuant to this Section 5.

(d) The preemptive rights under Section 5(a) shall not apply to (i) securities issued to officers, employees or directors (other than representatives of the Investors) of, or consultants to, the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to profit sharing, management stock option or other management incentive plans; (ii) securities issued to non-Affiliates pursuant to any merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets or businesses or similar transaction; (iii) securities issued pursuant to a stock split or stock dividend; (iv) securities issued pursuant to the exercise of any Option, warrant or convertible security; (v) securities issued pursuant to a Public Offering; (vi) securities issued in connection with third-party debt financing; or (vii) securities issued to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in the event that the Company, in its reasonable judgment, needs to sell securities to the Investors prior to

the notice periods set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above, the Company shall, promptly following such issuance, give the Pre-Emptive Rights Holders the opportunity to invest in Offered Stock in order to maintain its ownership percentage (measured prior to the issuance to the Investors).

6. The Management Stockholder’s Right to Resell Stock and Options to the Company.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, and subject to Section 7(g), if, prior to the consummation of the IPO, the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company (or, if applicable, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates) terminates as a result of the death or Permanent Disability of the Management Stockholder, then the applicable Management Stockholder Entity, shall, for 365 days (the “Put Period”) following the date of such termination for death or Permanent Disability, have the right to:

(i) With respect to Stock, sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the shares of Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share price equal to Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date (the “Section 6 Repurchase Price”);

(ii) With respect to any outstanding Options, sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the exercisable Options then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Section 6 Repurchase Price over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares, which Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment. In the event the Management Stockholder Entity elects to sell under this Section 6(a)(ii) and the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable Options granted to the Management Stockholder shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof; and

(iii) Request a statement of the Fair Market Value as of the date of the Redemption Notice.

(b) In the event the applicable Management Stockholder Entities intend to exercise their rights pursuant to Section 6(a), such Management Stockholder Entities shall send written notice to the Company, at any time during the Put Period, of their intention to sell shares of Stock in exchange for the payment referred to in Section 6(a)(i) and/or to sell such Options in exchange for the payment referred to in Section 6(a)(ii) and shall indicate the number of shares of Stock to be sold and the number of Options to be sold with payment in respect thereof (the “Redemption Notice”). The completion of the purchases shall take place at the principal office of the Company on the tenth business day after the giving of the Redemption Notice. The applicable Repurchase Price (including any payment with respect to the Options as described above) shall be paid by delivery to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, at the option of the Company, of a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of each of the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the Stock so purchased and appropriate documents cancelling the Options so terminated appropriately endorsed or executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities or any duly authorized representative.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, if there exists and is continuing a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under any loan, guarantee or other agreement under which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has borrowed money or if the repurchase referred to in Section 6(a) (or Section 7, as the case may be) would result in a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under any such agreement or if a repurchase would not be permitted under Section 170 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) or would otherwise violate the DGCL or any federal or state securities laws or regulations (or if the Company reincorporates in another state, the business corporation law of such state) (each such occurrence being an “Event”), the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase any of the Stock or the Options from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities to the extent prohibited by the Event for cash but instead, with respect to such portion with respect to which cash settlement is prohibited, will satisfy its obligations with respect to the Management Stockholder Entities’ exercise of their rights under Section 6(a) by delivering to the applicable Management Stockholder Entity a note with a principal amount equal to the amount payable under this Section 6 that was not paid in cash, having terms acceptable to the Company’s lenders and permitted under the Company’s debt instruments but which in any event (i) shall be mandatorily repayable to the extent that an Event no longer prohibits the payment of cash to the applicable Management Stockholder Entity pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) shall bear interest at a rate equal to the effective rate of interest in respect of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated subordinated public debt securities (including any original issue discount). Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 7(d), if an Event exists and is continuing for ninety (90) days, the Management Stockholder Entities shall be permitted by written notice to rescind any Redemption Notice with respect to that portion of the Stock and Options repurchased by the Company from the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Section 6 with the note described in the foregoing sentence, provided that, upon such rescission, such note shall be immediately canceled without any action on the part of the Company or the Management Stockholder Entities and, notwithstanding anything herein or in such note to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to pay any amounts of principal or interest thereunder.

(d) Effect of Change in Control.

The Company’s Option to Purchase Stock and Options of the Management Stockholder Upon Certain Terminations of Employment.

If, prior to the consummation of the IPO, (i) the Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (or, if applicable, its subsidiaries or Affiliates) is terminated by the Company (or, if applicable, its subsidiaries or affiliates) for Cause or (ii) the Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (or, if applicable, its subsidiaries or Affiliates) is terminated by the Management Stockholder without Good Reason (other than due to his death or Permanent Disability) after notice from the Company of such impermissible transfer and a reasonable opportunity to cure

such transfer (each, a “Section 7(a) Call Event”), then, subject to the provisions of Section 7(g):

(A) With respect to Purchased Stock, Rollover Stock and Option Stock issued in respect of Rollover Options, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the shares of Purchased Stock, Rollover Stock and Option Stock issued in respect of Rollover Options then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share purchase price equal to Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this clause (A) shall not confer any rights to the Company pursuant to a Section 7(a) Call Event specified in clause (ii) of Section 7(a) that occurs after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date;

(B) With respect to Option Stock issued in respect of New Options, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the shares of such Option Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share purchase price (such price, the “Option Stock Call Price”) equal to the lesser of (x) the applicable price paid for such Option Stock (which shall be the Base Price for Option Stock issued in respect of New Options granted on the Closing Date) and (y) Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company elects to repurchase under this Section 7(a)(B) pursuant to a Section 7(a) Call Event specified in clause (ii) of Section 7(a) which occurs on or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the purchase price shall be the Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date;

In the event the Company elects to repurchase under this Section 7(a)(C) and the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable Rollover Options shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this clause (C) shall not confer any rights to the Company pursuant to a Section 7(a) Call Event specified in clause (ii) of Section 7(a) that occurs after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date; and

(D) With respect to New Options, in the event of a termination described in clause (ii) of Section 7(a) above, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the exercisable New Options held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Option Stock Call Price over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares (solely relating to New Options), which New Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment. In the event the Company elects to repurchase under this Section 7(a)(D) and the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable New Options shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company elects to repurchase under this Section 7(a)(D) pursuant to a Section 7(a) Call Event specified in clause (ii) of Section 7(a) which occurs on or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the purchase price shall be the Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date.

Except as otherwise provided herein, if, prior to the consummation of the IPO, the Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (or, if applicable, its subsidiaries or Affiliates) is terminated (i) by the Company (or, if applicable, its subsidiaries or Affiliates) without Cause (other than due to his death or Permanent Disability), or (ii) by the Management Stockholder with Good Reason or due to the Management Stockholder’s Retirement (each, a “Section 7(b) Call Event”) then, subject to the provisions of Section 7(g):

(A) With respect to the Option Stock issued in respect of New Options, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the shares of such Option Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share purchase price equal to Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date; and

In the event the Company elects to repurchase under this Section 7(b)(B) and the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable New Options shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof.

(c) Termination for Death or Disability.

(A) With respect to Option Stock issued in respect of New Options, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the shares of such Option Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share purchase price equal to Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date; and

(B) With respect to New Options, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the exercisable New Options for an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date of a share of Option Stock underlying such New Options over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares (solely relating to New Options), which New Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment. In the event the Company elects to repurchase under this Section 7(c)(B) and the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable stock options granted to the Management Stockholder under the Option Plan shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof.

(d) Call Notice. The Company shall have a period (the “Call Period”) of one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of any Call Event (or, if later, with respect to a Section 7(a) Call Event, the date after discovery of, and the applicable cure period for, an impermissible transfer constituting a Section 7(a) Call Event) in which to give notice in

writing to the Management Stockholder of its election to exercise its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 7 (“Repurchase Notice”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to extend the Call Period to ensure that the Management Stockholder Entities are able to comply with the six-month stock ownership holding period identified in Section 7(g) below, but which shall in no event extend beyond thirty (30) days after the date that such six-month holding period expires. The completion of the purchases pursuant to the foregoing shall take place at the principal office of the Company on the tenth business day after the giving of the Repurchase Notice. The applicable Repurchase Price (including any payment with respect to the Options as described in this Section 7) shall be paid by delivery to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of each of the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the Stock so purchased and appropriate documents canceling the Options so terminated, appropriately endorsed or executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities or any duly authorized representative.

(e) Use of Note to Satisfy Call Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7 to the contrary, if there exists and is continuing any Event, the Company will, to the extent it has exercised its rights to purchase Stock or Options pursuant to this Section 7, in order to complete the purchase of any Stock or Options pursuant to this Section 7, deliver to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (i) a cash payment for any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7 that would not cause an Event and (ii) a note having the same terms as that provided in Section 6(c) above with a principal amount equal to the amount payable but not paid in cash pursuant to this Section 7 due to the Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event exists and is continuing for ninety (90) days, the Management Stockholder Entities shall be permitted by written notice to cause the Company to rescind any Repurchase Notice with respect to that portion of the Stock and Options repurchased by the Company from the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Section 7 with the note described in the foregoing sentence, provided that, upon such rescission, such note shall be immediately canceled without any action on the part of the Company or the Management Stockholder Entities and, notwithstanding anything herein or in such note to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to pay any amounts of principal or interest thereunder, and provided further that the Company shall have another thirty (30) days from the date the Event ceases to exist to give another Repurchase Notice on the terms applicable to the first Repurchase Notice.

(f) Effect of Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except for any payment obligation of the Company which has arisen prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, this Section 7 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the occurrence of such Change in Control.

(g) Effect of Accounting Principles. Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 6 or 7 to the contrary, in the event that it is determined by the Board that any of the provisions of either of Section 6 or 7 would result in any of the Options being classified as a liability as contemplated by FASB Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, including any amendments and interpretations thereto, then the following terms shall apply:

(i) Any shares of Stock that are to be purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 6 or 7, as applicable, may only be so purchased if and when such shares have

been held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for at least six months; and

(ii) With respect to any exercisable Options, upon the occurrence of the applicable event identified in Section 6 giving rise to the Management Stockholder’s rights thereunder or a Call Event, the Management Stockholder Entities may be required by the Company to elect, in accordance with the terms of the relevant Stock Option Agreement, to receive from the Company, on one occasion, in exchange for all of the exercisable Options then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, if any, a number of shares of Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value over the Option Exercise Price and (B) the number of shares then acquirable on exercise, divided by (y) the Fair Market Value, which Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment of shares of Stock (such shares of Stock, the “Net Settled Stock”). (In the event the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable Options shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof.) Upon the occurrence of such net settlement of all exercisable Options, the Put Period or the Call Period, as applicable, shall be deemed to be the period that is 30 days following the date that is six months after the receipt by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of the Net Settled Stock, during which time the Company may, on delivery of Repurchase Notice (or upon delivery of a Redemption Notice), purchase (or be required to purchase in the case of Section 6) all (in the case of a purchase pursuant to Section 6) or all or any portion (in the case of a purchase pursuant to Section 7) of the Net Settled Stock held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, at a per share price equal to the applicable Repurchase Price for Option Stock identified in Section 6 or Section 7, as applicable.

10. “Piggyback” Registration Rights. Effective after the occurrence of the initial Public Offering:

(a) A Senior Management Stockholder hereby agrees to be bound by all of the terms, conditions and obligations of the piggyback registration rights contained in Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) entered into by and among the Company and investors party thereto (the “Piggyback Registration Rights”), as in effect on the date hereof (subject to any amendments thereto to which the Senior Management Stockholder has agreed in writing to be bound), and, if any of the Investors are selling stock, shall have all of the rights and privileges of the Piggyback Registration Rights (including, without limitation, the right to participate in the initial Public Offering and any rights to indemnification and/or contribution from the Company and/or the Investors), in each case as if the Senior Management Stockholder were an original party (other than the Company) to the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to applicable and customary underwriter restrictions; provided, however, that at no time shall the Senior Management Stockholder have any rights to request registration under Section 2 of the Registration Rights Agreement. All Stock purchased or held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be “Registrable Securities” as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) In the event of a sale of Common Stock by any of the Investors in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will promptly notify each Senior Management Stockholder or any other Management Stockholder to whom the Board, after consultation with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has decided to extend the Piggyback Registration Rights, in writing (a “Piggyback Notice”) of any proposed registration (a “Proposed Registration”), which Piggyback Notice shall include: the principal terms and conditions of the proposed registration, including (A) the number of the shares of Common Stock to be sold, (B) the fraction expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Investors by the total number of shares held by the Investors selling the shares of Common Stock, (C) the proposed per share purchase price (or an estimate thereof), and (D) the proposed date of sale. If within fifteen (15) days of the receipt by the Senior Management Stockholder or Management Stockholder, as the case may be, of such Piggyback Notice, the Company receives from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of the Senior Management Stockholder or Management Stockholder, as the case may be, a written request (a “Request”) to register shares of Stock held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (which Request will be irrevocable unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Senior Management Stockholder or Management Stockholder, if any, and the Company), shares of Stock will be so registered as provided in this Section 10; provided, however, that for each such registration statement only one Request, which shall be executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, may be submitted for all Registrable Securities held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities.

(c) The maximum number of shares of Stock which will be registered pursuant to a Request will be the lowest of (i) the number of shares of Stock then held by the Management Stockholder Entities, including all shares of Stock which the Management Stockholder Entities are then entitled to acquire under an unexercised Option to the extent then exercisable, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Stock being sold by the Investors and any affiliated or unaffiliated investment partnerships and investment limited liability companies investing with the Investors and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Stock owned by the Investors and any investment partnerships and investment limited liability companies investing with the Investors or (ii) the maximum number of shares of Stock which the Company can register in

connection with such Request in the Proposed Registration without adverse effect on the offering in the view of the managing underwriters (reduced pro rata as more fully described in subsection (d) of this Section 10 or (iii) the maximum number of shares which the Senior Management Stockholder (pro rata based upon the aggregate number of shares of Stock the Senior Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders who are Senior Management Stockholders have requested to be registered) is permitted to register under the Piggyback Registration Rights.

(d) If a Proposed Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of shares of Stock requested to be included in the Proposed Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, so as to be likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the shares of Stock offered in such Public Offering as contemplated by the Company, then, unless the managing underwriter advises that marketing factors require a different allocation, the Company will include in the Proposed Registration (i) first, 100% of the shares of Stock the Company proposes to sell and (ii) second, to the extent of the number of shares of Stock requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above, the number of shares of Stock which the selling Investors and any affiliated or unaffiliated investment partnerships and investment limited liability companies investing with the selling Investors, the Senior Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders who are Senior Management Stockholders and any other Persons who are entitled to piggyback or incidental registration rights in respect of Stock (together, the “Holders”) have requested to be included in the Proposed Registration, such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders on the basis of the relative number of shares of Stock then held by each such Holder (including upon exercise of all exercisable Options) (provided that any shares thereby allocated to any such Holder that exceed such Holder’s request will be reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders in like manner).

(e) Upon delivering a Request a Senior Management Stockholder or other Management Stockholder having Piggyback Registration Rights pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 10 will, if requested by the Company, execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney having customary terms and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to the shares of Stock to be registered pursuant to this Section 10 (a “Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney”). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will provide, among other things, that the Senior Management Stockholder or Management Stockholder, as the case may be, will deliver to and deposit in custody with the custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates (to the extent applicable) representing such shares of Stock (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and attorney-in-fact as the Senior Management Stockholder’s or Management Stockholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on the Senior Management Stockholder’s or Management Stockholder’s behalf with respect to the matters specified therein.

(f) If the number of shares of Stock that the Senior Management Stockholder is permitted to include in a Request pursuant to this Section 10 is limited by the fact that the Options are not exercisable at the time of such Proposed Registration, then at such time as the Options become exercisable (in whole or in part) and at any time thereafter,

the Senior Management Stockholder shall be entitled to register for public sale such additional number of shares of Stock as the Senior Management Stockholder or Management Stockholder could have registered at the time of the Proposed Registration.

(g) Subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 3, upon the occurrence of a sale of Common Stock by the Investors in a Public Offering and at all times thereafter, the Company shall maintain a registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC that covers all shares of Stock that the Management Stockholder could register in a public sale, in order to allow the Management Stockholder to exercise his rights set forth in Section 10(f).

(h) The Management Stockholder agrees that he will execute such other agreements as the Company may reasonably request to further evidence the provisions of this Section 10, including reasonable and customary lock-up agreements.

11. Additional Rights of Management Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Company receives notice of any event giving rise to any of the tag-along, pre-emptive or piggyback registration rights of Senior Management Stockholders in Sections 5 or 10 hereof or in the Sale Participation Agreement, the Board shall promptly (and in event within such period of time to allow the Management Stockholder to exercise such right, if applicable) after being informed of such notice consult with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company to determine whether and to what extent any such rights shall be granted to the Management Stockholder and the Other Management Stockholders who are not Senior Management Stockholders. Any such grant shall be effective upon, and to the extent set forth in, any applicable resolution passed by the Board, and the Company shall give prompt notice to the Management Stockholder and the Other Management Stockholders of the adoption thereof.

12. [Reserved].

13. Rights to Negotiate Repurchase Price. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the Company from purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring for value shares of Stock or Options from the Management Stockholder, at any time, upon such terms and conditions, and for such price, as may be mutually agreed upon in writing between the Parties, whether or not at the time of such purchase, redemption or acquisition circumstances exist which specifically grant the Company the right to purchase, or the Management Stockholder the right to sell, shares of Stock or any Options under the terms of this Agreement; provided that no such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be consummated, and no agreement with respect to any such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be entered into, without the prior approval of the Board.

14. Covenant Regarding 83(b) Election. Except as the Company may otherwise agree in writing, the Management Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that the Management Stockholder will make an election provided pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-2 with respect to the Option Stock acquired on exercise of New Options; and the Management Stockholder further covenants and agrees that he or she will furnish the Company with copies of the forms of election the Management Stockholder files within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, and within thirty (30) days after each exercise of the Management Stockholder’s Options and with evidence that each such election has been filed in a timely manner.

15. Notice of Change of Beneficiary. Immediately prior to any transfer of Stock to a Management Stockholder’s Trust, the Management Stockholder shall provide the Company with a copy of the instruments creating the Management Stockholder’s Trust and with the identity of the beneficiaries of the Management Stockholder’s Trust. The Management Stockholder shall notify the Company as soon as practicable prior to any change in the identity of any beneficiary of the Management Stockholder’s Trust.

16. Recapitalizations, etc. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein with respect to the Stock or the Options, to any and all shares of capital stock of the Company or any capital stock, partnership units or any other security evidencing ownership interests in any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or substitution of the Stock or the Options by reason of any stock dividend, split, reverse split, combination, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, merger, consolidation or otherwise.

17. Management Stockholder’s Employment by the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement entered into by the Company and the Management Stockholder contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement (subject to, and except as set forth in, the applicable provisions of any offer letter, letter of employment provided to the Management Stockholder by the Company or any employment agreement entered into by and between the Management Stockholder and the Company or any of its subsidiaries) (i) obligates the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to employ the Management Stockholder in any capacity whatsoever or (ii) prohibits or restricts the Company (or any such subsidiary) from terminating the employment of the Management Stockholder at any time or for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, and the Management Stockholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any other person has made any representations or promises whatsoever to the Management Stockholder concerning the Management Stockholder’s employment or continued employment by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.

18. Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and accrue to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. In the case of a transferee permitted under Section 2(a) or Section 3(a) (other than clauses (iii) or (iv) thereof) hereof, such transferee shall be deemed the Management Stockholder hereunder; provided, however, that no transferee (including without limitation, transferees referred to in Section 2(a) or Section 3(a) hereof) shall derive any rights under this Agreement unless and until such transferee has delivered to the Company a valid undertaking and becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder or with respect hereto.

19. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Company at any time upon notice to the Management Stockholder thereof; provided that any amendment (i) that materially disadvantages the Management Stockholder shall not be effective unless and until the Management Stockholder has consented thereto in writing and (ii) that disadvantages a class of stockholders in more than a de minimus way but less than a material way shall require the consent of a majority of the equity interests held by such affected class of stockholders.

20. Closing. Except as otherwise provided herein, the closing of each purchase and sale of shares of Stock pursuant to this Agreement shall take place at the principal office of the Company on the tenth business day following delivery of the notice by either Party to the other of its exercise of the right to purchase or sell such Stock hereunder.

21. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Arbitration; Legal Fees.

(b) In the event of any controversy among the parties hereto arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement which cannot be settled amicably by the parties, such controversy shall be finally, exclusively and conclusively settled by mandatory arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the American Arbitration Association rules by a single independent arbitrator. Such arbitration process shall take place in Nashville, TN. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all parties hereto and shall be rendered pursuant to a written decision, which contains a detailed recital of the arbitrator’s reasoning. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Management Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company, its subsidiaries, the Investors and any of their respective affiliates shall be entitled to injunctive or other relief in order to enforce the covenant not to compete, covenant not to solicit and/or confidentiality covenants as set forth in Section 27(a) of this Agreement.

26. Confidential Information; Covenant Not to Compete; Covenant Not to Solicit.

(a) In consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement with the Management Stockholder, unless otherwise provided in any employment agreement entered into by and between the Management Stockholder and the Company or any of its subsidiaries (in which case the corresponding provisions therein shall control), the Management Stockholder hereby agrees effective as of the date of the Management Stockholder’s commencement of employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, without the Company’s prior written consent, the Management Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly:

(i) at any time during or after the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, disclose any Confidential Information pertaining to the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except when required to perform his or her duties to the Company or one of its subsidiaries, by law or judicial process;

(ii) at any time during the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries and for a period of two years thereafter, directly or indirectly, act as a proprietor, investor, director, officer, employee, substantial stockholder, consultant, or partner in any business that directly or indirectly competes, at the relevant determination date, with the business of the Company, any Investor or any of their respective affiliates in any geographic area where the Company or its Affiliates manufactures, produces, sells, leases, rents, licenses or otherwise provides products or services,

(iii) at any time during the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries and for a period of two years thereafter, directly or indirectly (A) solicit customers or clients of the Company, any of its subsidiaries, the Investors or any of their respective affiliates to terminate their relationship with the Company, any of its subsidiaries, the Investors or any of their respective affiliates or otherwise solicit such customers or clients to compete with any business of the Company, any of its subsidiaries, the Investors or any of their respective affiliates or (B) solicit or offer employment to any person who is, or has been at any time during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the termination of the Management Stockholder’s employment employed by the Company or any of its affiliates;

provided that in each of (ii) and (iii) above, such restrictions shall not apply with respect to any Investor or any of their affiliates that is not engaged in any business that competes, directly or indirectly, with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. If the Management

Stockholder is bound by any other agreement with the Company regarding the use or disclosure of Confidential Information, the provisions of this Agreement shall be read in such a way as to further restrict and not to permit any more extensive use or disclosure of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of Section 26(a)(ii), (x) the term “affiliates” will not include any Investor or their affiliates that are not engaged in business that is competing with the Company, and (y) the Management Stockholder may, directly or indirectly own, solely as an investment, securities of any Person engaged in the business of the Company or its affiliates which are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or quotation system or on the over-the-counter market if the Management Stockholder (I) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such person and (II) does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, if at any time a court holds that the restrictions stated in such clause (a) are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographic area determined to be reasonable under such circumstances by such court will be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. Because the Management Stockholder’s services are unique and because the Management Stockholder has had access to Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages will be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without the posting of a bond or other security).

(c) In the event that the Management Stockholder breaches any of the provisions of Section 26(a), in addition to all other remedies that may be available to the Company, the Management Stockholder shall be required to pay to the Company any amounts actually paid to him or her by the Company in respect of any repurchase by the Company of any Options or Stock held by such Management Stockholder; provided that with respect to Option Stock, the Management Stockholder shall be required to pay to the Company only such amounts, if any, that the Management Stockholder received in excess of the exercise price paid by the Management Stockholder in acquiring such Option Stock, on a net after-tax basis.

27. Effectiveness.

Except for Sections 1, 2(a), 2(f), 2(g), 3, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23 and 25 and this Section 27, which shall become effective as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Parties, this Agreement shall become effective upon the Closing and prior thereto shall be of no force or effect. If the Merger Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no force or effect.
