No Stockholder Party shall grant any proxy or become party to any voting trust or other agreement

3. Restrictions on Transfer of Existing Stockholder Shares.
(a) Transfer Restrictions. Each Stockholder Party shall abide by the provisions set
forth in this Section 3 with respect to a Transfer of any of its Shares (including, in the case of
the Trust, any Returned Shares); provided, however, that the provisions of this
Section 3 shall not apply with respect to any Transfer made by the Trust pursuant to the Stock
Option Agreement. In no event shall any Stockholder Party make any Transfer of its Shares
(including, in the case of the Trust, any Returned Shares) prior to the Initial Lock-up Date,
except as permitted by Section 3(g) or by the Stock Option Agreement.
(b) Public Transfers by Trust. In any 90-day period, the Trust may Transfer such
number of Shares equal to up to one percent of all of the issued and outstanding Shares at the
Market Price Per Share in one or more transactions satisfying the “manner of sale” requirements of
subsection (f) of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933; provided,
however that the Trust shall first offer to sell such shares to the Class A Stockholder at
the Market Price Per Share in a written offer. If the Class A Stockholder does not accept the
4
Trust’s offer within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such written offer, (i) the Class A
Stockholder shall be deemed to have rejected the Trust’s offer, and (ii) for three (3) Business
Days after the Trust’s offer has been rejected by the Class A Stockholder, the Trust may offer to
Transfer the same such number of Shares in a transaction satisfying the “manner of sale”
requirements of subsection (f) of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. If the
Class A Stockholder accepts the Trust’s offer pursuant to this Section 3(b), the Class A
Stockholder shall deliver payment to the Trust within three (3) Business Days, and the Trust shall
Transfer the offered shares to the Class A Stockholder simultaneously with receipt of payment from
the Class A Stockholder.
(c) Right of First Offer on Sales by Trust at or below Market Price. Within any three
hundred sixty five (365) day period, the Trust may, in one or more transactions, Transfer up to
twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding Shares at or below the Market Price Per Share.
For purposes of this Section 3(c), Transfers by the Trust permitted by Section 3(b) shall be
counted toward such twenty percent (20%). Before the Trust may transfer any shares pursuant to this
Section 3(c), the Trust shall first deliver a written notice (an “Offer Notice”) to the Class A
Stockholder. The Offer Notice shall (i) (a) contain unconditional representations of the
prospective Transferee as to the bona fide and legally binding nature of the transaction, (b)
contain unconditional representations of the Trust as to clauses (i) and (ii) of the defined term
“bona fide and legally binding nature of the transaction”, and (c) contain unconditional
representations of a Qualified Bank as to clause (iii) of the defined term “bona fide and legally
binding nature of the transaction”, (ii) disclose in reasonable detail the proposed number of
Shares to be Transferred, the proposed terms and conditions of the Transfer and the identity of the
prospective Transferee(s), and (iii) offer to Transfer the same number of shares to the Class A
Stockholder on the same terms and conditions as the Trust proposes to Transfer the shares to the
prospective Transferee(s) identified in the Offer Notice; it being agreed that any document that
does not satisfy items (i), (ii) and (iii) of this sentence shall not be deemed to be a valid Offer
Notice, in which case no Shares may be Transferred pursuant thereto. The consideration offered in
such proposed Transfer must be solely cash. The Trust’s Offer to the Class A Stockholder shall
remain open for five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Offer Notice. If the Class A
Stockholder does not accept the Trust’s offer prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth
(5th) Business Day after the Trust’s delivery of the Offer Notice to the Class A
Stockholder, (x) the Class A Stockholder shall be deemed to have rejected the Trust’s offer, and
(y) for the next ten (10) Business Days (commencing the Business Day after receipt of such actual
or deemed rejection), the Trust may effect the proposed Transfer to the prospective Transferee(s)
at the price and on those terms specified in the Offer Notice. If the Class A Stockholder accepts
the Trust’s offer pursuant to this Section 3(c), the Class A Stockholder shall deliver payment to
the Trust in the manner specified in the Offer Notice but in any event not later than ten (10) days
following receipt of the Offer Notice, and the Trust shall Transfer the offered shares to the Class
A Stockholder simultaneously with the receipt of payment from the Class A Stockholder.
(d) Right of First Offer and Co-Sale Right on Sales in Excess of Market Price. If any
Stockholder Party proposes to Transfer any Shares at a price per share in excess of the Market
Price Per Share, other than in a transaction pursuant to Section 3(b) of this Agreement, or if the
Trust proposes to Transfer more than 20% of the issued and outstanding Shares in any 365-day period
at or below the Market Price Per Share (provided that Transfers by
5
the Trust otherwise permitted by Sections 3(b) and 3(c) shall be counted toward such 20%),
then the Transferring Stockholder shall deliver an Offer Notice to the other Stockholder Party
offering the other Stockholder Party the right either (i) to purchase all of the Shares proposed to
be Transferred by the Transferring Stockholder at the same price per share and on the same terms
specified in the Offer Notice, or (ii) to participate as a transferring stockholder in the proposed
Transfer at the same price per share and on the same terms specified in the Offer Notice. The
Offer Notice shall (i) (a) contain unconditional representations of the prospective Transferee as
to the bona fide and legally binding nature of the transaction, (b) contain unconditional
representations of the Transferring Stockholder as to clauses (i) and (ii) of the defined term
“bona fide and legally binding nature of the transaction”, and (c) contain unconditional
representations of a Qualified Bank as to clause (iii) of the defined term “bona fide and legally
binding nature of the transaction”, and (ii) disclose in reasonable detail the proposed number of
Shares to be Transferred, the proposed terms and conditions of the Transfer and the identity of the
prospective Transferee(s); it being agreed that any document that does not satisfy items (i) and
(ii) of this sentence and items (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall not be
deemed to be a valid Offer Notice, in which case no Shares may be Transferred pursuant thereto. The
Transferring Stockholder’s offer to the other Stockholder Party shall remain open for five (5)
Business Days after the delivery of the Offer Notice. If the other Stockholder Party does not
accept the Transferring Stockholder’s offer prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth
(5th) Business Day after the Transferring Stockholder’s delivery of the Offer Notice to
the other Stockholder Party, (i) the other Stockholder Party shall be deemed to have rejected the
Transferring Stockholder’s offer, and (ii) for the next ten (10) Business Days (commencing the
Business Day after receipt of such actual or deemed rejection), the Transferring Stockholder may
effect the Proposed Transfer to the prospective Transferee(s) at the price and on those terms
specified in the Offer Notice. If the other Stockholder Party exercises its rights under this
Section 3(d) to purchase all of the Shares proposed to be Transferred by the Transferring
Stockholder, the other Stockholder Party shall deliver payment to the Transferring Stockholder in
the manner specified in the Offer Notice but in any event not later than ten (10) days following
receipt of the Offer Notice, and the Transfer of such shares shall be consummated simultaneously
with the receipt of payment from the other Stockholder Party. The other Stockholder Party shall
have until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after delivery of the Offer
Notice to deliver written notice to the Stockholder Party (i) stating the other Stockholder Party’s
election to exercise its rights under this Section 3(d) to participate as a transferring
stockholder in the proposed Transfer, and (ii) stating the number of shares to be delivered by the
other Stockholder Party to the Transferee(s). If the other Stockholder Party exercises its rights
under this Section 3(d) to participate as a transferring stockholder in the proposed Transfer, (a)
the number of such other Stockholder Party’s shares entitled to participate in the contemplated
Transfer shall, at its option, be up to the percentage of the Shares proposed to be Transferred
that is equal to (i) the number of Shares owned by such other Stockholder Party divided by (ii) the
total number of Shares owned by the Stockholder Parties (including the Escrowed Shares), (b) the
Transferring Stockholder shall have ten (10) Business Days (commencing the Business Day after
receipt of the other Stockholder Party’s notice of its election to participate as a transferring
stockholder) to effect the Proposed Transfer to the prospective Transferee(s) at the price and on
those terms specified in the Offer Notice, and (c) the other Stockholder Party shall deliver its
shares to be transferred simultaneously with the receipt of payment from the Proposed Transferee.
For example, assuming that the Trust held 30,000,000 Shares (including the
6
Escrowed Shares) and the Restricted Stockholder held 20,000,000 shares, if the Trust were to
propose the Transfer of 20,000,000 shares, and if the Restricted Stockholder elected to participate
fully, it would be permitted to Transfer 40% of the Shares proposed to be Transferred, or 8,000,000
Shares, and the Trust would be permitted to Transfer the balance, or 12,000,000 Shares. If the
other Stockholder Party does not make either election as provided above, the Transferring
Stockholder may, within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of the Offer Notice, Transfer the
full number of Shares described in the Offer Notice to the prospective Transferee(s) at a price and
on other terms no more favorable than those specified in the Offer Notice.
No Transferring Stockholder shall Transfer any of its Shares pursuant to this Section 3(d) to
any prospective Transferee if such prospective Transferee declines to allow the participation of
the other Stockholder Party. Each Stockholder Party electing to Transfer Shares pursuant to this
Section 3(d) shall pay its pro rata share (based on the number of Shares to be Transferred) of the
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Transferring Stockholder in
connection with such Transfer and shall be obligated to join on a pro rata basis (based on the
number of Shares to be Transferred) in any indemnification or other obligations that the
Transferring Stockholder agrees to provide in connection with such Transfer (other than any such
obligations that relate specifically to a particular Stockholder such as indemnification with
respect to representations and warranties given by a Stockholder regarding such stockholder’s title
to and ownership of Shares; provided, that, no Stockholder shall be obligated in connection
with such Transfer to agree to indemnify or hold harmless any Transferees with respect to an amount
in excess of the net cash proceeds paid to such Stockholder in connection with such Transfer).
In the event that the Trust declines to exercise its rights in connection with a Transfer by
the Class A Stockholder under this Section 3(d), the restrictions contained in this Section 3 shall
continue to be applicable to the Shares Transferred by the Class A Stockholder, and, as a condition
to such Transfer, the Transferee shall be required to agree in writing to be bound by the
provisions of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be a Class A Stockholder for all purposes of
this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing requirements shall not apply
in the case of any Transfer of Shares by the Class A Stockholder pursuant to a registration
statement filed with the SEC which has become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
(e) Registered Public Offerings. In the event that any Offer Notice delivered by the
Trust pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) relates to a proposed transfer of Shares by the
Trust pursuant to an Offering, the price per Share at which the Restricted Stockholder shall be
entitled to purchase any or all of such shares shall be the Offer Price. The Trust’s offer to the
Restricted Stockholder relating to an Offering shall remain open for five (5) Business Days after
the delivery of the Offer Notice specifying the Offer Price. If the Restricted Stockholder does not
accept the Trust’s offer prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5th)
Business Day after the Trust’s delivery of the Offer Notice to the Restricted Stockholder, (i) the
Restricted Stockholder shall be deemed to have rejected the Trust’s offer, and (ii) the Trust shall
have the next ninety (90) Business Days (commencing the Business Day after receipt of such actual
or deemed rejection) in which to effect the Offering. If the Restricted Stockholder exercises its
rights under Section 3(d) to participate as a transferring stockholder in the proposed Offering,
the number of the Restricted Stockholder’s shares entitled to participate in the
7
contemplated Offering shall, at its option, be up to the percentage of the Shares contemplated
to be sold in the Offering equal to (i) the number of Shares owned by the Restricted Stockholder
divided by (ii) the total number of Shares owned by the Stockholder Parties. For example, assuming
that the Trust held 30,000,000 Shares and the Restricted Stockholder held 20,000,000 shares, if the
Trust were to propose an Offering of 20,000,000 shares, and if the Restricted Stockholder elected
to participate fully, it would be permitted to sell in the Offering 40% of the Shares to be sold in
the Offering, or 8,000,000 Shares, and the Trust would be permitted to sell in the Offering the
balance, or 12,000,000 Shares.
(f) Arbitration. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained herein, in
the event that the Restricted Stockholder determines, in its sole discretion, that it is not
satisfied with any Offer Notice delivered pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) and so informs
the Trust in writing (the “Challenge Notice”) within three (3) Business Days of its receipt of such
Offer Notice, then the matter as to whether the proposed transaction is bona fide and of a legally
binding nature shall be determined in a fast track arbitration proceeding by an independent
arbitrator with no existing relationship with any of the parties (the “Arbitrator”), pursuant to
this Section 3(f). Within thirty (30) days of the execution of this Lockup Agreement the Trust and
the Class A Stockholder will select a mutually acceptable arbitrator to conduct any arbitration.
If the Trust and the Class A Stockholder cannot agree on an arbitrator each will select an
arbitrator, and within sixty (60) days of the execution of this Lockup Agreement the selected
arbitrators will select the arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. The Arbitrator shall determine
within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Challenge Notes to the Trust whether the proposed
transaction is bona fide and of a legally binding nature and the following procedures shall apply:
(i) the Arbitrator may retain such professionals as it may reasonably determine to be necessary or
appropriate in discharging its duties under this Section 3(f); (ii) each of the Restricted
Stockholder and the Trust shall have the right to make one written submission to the Arbitrator
regarding the disputed matter; (iii) each party shall have the right to make one written submission
to the Arbitrator in response to the other party’s written submission; (iv) the Arbitrator may
submit follow-up questions to either party, and such parties shall have the right to respond to
such questioning by the Arbitrator; (iv) each party shall have the right to submit one written
response to the other party’s response to the Arbitrator; and (vi) copies of all written materials
submitted to the Arbitrator (and summaries of all discussions with the Arbitrator) shall be
promptly provided to the other party. The Arbitrator shall promptly deliver to both parties its
determination in writing and shall select either the position of the Restricted Stockholder or the
Trust, and no compromise position. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be paid one-half
by the Restricted Stockholder and one-half by the Trust. The determination of the Arbitrator shall
be final, binding and conclusive for purposes of this Section 3(f) and enforceable as an
arbitration award, and shall represent the exclusive remedy with respect to the determination of
whether the proposed transaction is bona fide and of a legally binding nature. In the event of a
decision: (i) in favor of the Trust, the Class A Stockholder shall have three (3) Business Days
following the date of such decision in which to elect whether to purchase all of the Shares
proposed to be Transferred in the challenged Offer Notice or to participate as a transferring
stockholder in the proposed Transfer (and if the Class A Stockholder does not make either election,
the Trust may, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of such decision, Transfer the full
number of Shares described in the challenged Offer Notice as specified therein); and (ii) in favor
of the Class A Stockholder, the challenged Offer Notice (and the proposed Transfer described
therein) shall automatically become null and void.
8
(g) Permitted Transfers. The restrictions set forth in this Section 3 shall not apply
with respect to any Transfer of Shares by: (i) any Restricted Stockholder to its Affiliates (such
transferees, collectively, “Permitted Transferees”); provided, that the restrictions
contained in this Section 3 shall continue to be applicable to the Shares after any such Transfer,
and provided, further, that such Permitted Transferees shall have agreed in writing
to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement affecting the Shares so Transferred; (ii) the Trust
to the Company in accordance with Section 8.3.5 of the Plan; and (iii) the Trust to the Company in
accordance with Section 8.22.4.3(b) of the Plan, provided, that the restrictions contained
in this Section 3 shall continue to be applicable to any and all Shares returned to the Trust by
the Company pursuant to Section 8.3.5 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party hereto
shall avoid the provisions of this Agreement by making one or more Transfers to one or more
Permitted Transferees and then disposing of all or any portion of such party’s interest in any such
Permitted Transferee.
4. Legend. For so long as this Agreement may remain in effect, each certificate
evidencing Shares owned by the Trust or a Restricted Stockholder, and each certificate issued in
exchange for or upon the Transfer (other than a Transfer by the Trust permitted by Section 3(b),
Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) or a Transfer by a Restricted Stockholder pursuant to a registration
statement filed with the SEC or Section 3(d)) of any such Shares, shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form:
“The securities represented by this certificate are subject to a Lockup Agreement,
dated as of December 27, 2007, among the issuer of such securities (the
“Corporation”) and certain of the Corporation’s stockholders, as may be
amended and modified from time to time. A copy of such agreement shall be furnished
without charge by the Corporation to the holder hereof upon written request.”
Upon request of a holder of such a certificate, the Company shall remove the foregoing
legend from the certificate or issue to such holder a new certificate therefor free of any
transfer legend, if (i) there is an effective registration statement covering the
securities represented by such certificate or (ii) this Agreement shall no longer be in
effect.
5. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until
either the Class A Stockholder or the Trust shall own less than fifteen percent (15%) of the
outstanding common stock of the Company (without regard to any shares of common stock of any class
or any options that may be issued to the Chief Executive Officer or other employees of the
Company), whereupon this Agreement shall terminate immediately and the parties shall have no
further rights hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Class A Stockholder beneficially
owns at least 30% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock on the Effective Date, this Agreement
shall not terminate for so long as the Class A Stockholder continues to beneficially own at least
2/3 of the Shares held by the Class A Stockholder on the Effective Date. Should the Class A
Stockholder own in excess of 50% of the outstanding common stock and there is no Class B Common
Stock outstanding, the Class A Stockholder may, by giving written notice to the Company,
immediately terminate this Agreement.

6. Miscellaneous.
(a) This writing constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and may not be modified, amended or terminated except by a written agreement signed
by the party or parties to be bound thereby.
(b) No waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall be considered valid unless in writing,
and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the same or
similar nature.
(c) This Agreement may not be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by any party hereto
without the prior written consent of the other parties, except by operation of law in connection
with a merger, consolidation or other reorganization of all or substantially all of the assets of

terms of this Agreement.
(d) This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the
State of Delaware, excluding the conflict of laws provision thereof. The parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware shall have
jurisdiction in any matter arising from this Agreement.
(e) If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision

enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been
contained herein.
(f) Any notice or communication hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and
