Purchaser, the Sale Shares owned by that Seller free and clear of any and all Encumbrances.
(b) Purchase Price. In consideration for the transfer of the Sale Shares, and upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay, or
cause to be paid, to each Seller an amount in cash equal to the amount set forth opposite that
Seller’s name on Schedule 1.1 hereto (the “Purchase Price”), which represents a

Section 1.3 Closing Deliveries.
(a) At the Closing, each Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company a

the Sale Shares, and (iii) a duly executed copy of the Representation Letter.
(c) At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Seller (i) the

to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 1.5 Simultaneous Actions on the Closing Date. Purchaser shall not be

Purchaser any information reasonably requested by Purchaser in order to comply with Tax reporting
requirements of Purchaser in connection with the acquisition of the Sale Shares.
ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of Sellers. Each Seller, severally and not
jointly, hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as of the date hereof and as of the Closing
Date that:
(a) Due Organization and Power. Such Seller is duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the law of its jurisdiction of organization. Such Seller (A) has all
requisite power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it
is now being conducted and (B) is in good standing and is duly qualified to transact business in
each jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, except, in the case of clause (A) or
(B), where the failure to have such power and authority or to be in good standing would not
reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of such Seller
to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2
(b) Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. Such Seller has the requisite
power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Representation Letter and to
perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery by such Seller of
this Agreement and the Representation Letter and the performance by such Seller of its obligations
hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such
Seller. Each of this Agreement and the Representation Letter has been duly executed and delivered
by such Seller and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto,
constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of such Seller, enforceable against such Seller in
accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights
generally and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law)
applicable to such Seller.
(c) Title to Shares. The number of Sale Shares being sold by such Seller is set forth
opposite its name on Schedule 1.1 hereto. Such Seller has good and valid title to the Sale
Shares that it owns, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances. The Sale Shares owned by such
Seller were duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, were issued in
compliance with applicable Law and were not issued in violation of, or subject to, any preemptive,
subscription or other similar rights of any other person. Upon the transfer of the Sale Shares
owned by such Seller to Purchaser on the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement, Purchaser
will receive good and valid title to such Sale Shares, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances,
other than those arising from the act, omission or condition of Purchaser or its Affiliates.
(d) No Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of this
Agreement and the consummation by such Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby will not
require any consent or approval of, or filing with or notice to, any Governmental Authority under
any provision of Law applicable to such Seller.
Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby represents
and warrants to Sellers as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:
(a) Due Organization and Power. Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the law of the Cayman Islands. Purchaser (A) has all requisite corporate power
and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being
conducted and (B) is in good standing and is duly qualified to transact business in each
jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, except, in the case of clause (A) or (B),
where the failure to have such power and authority or to be in good standing would not reasonably
be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of Purchaser to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3
(b) Authorization and Validity of Agreement. Purchaser has the requisite power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The
execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the performance by Purchaser of its
obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and
binding agreement of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject
to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and
other similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) applicable to Purchaser.
(c) No Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this
Agreement and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not
require any consent or approval of, or filing with or notice to, any Governmental Authority under
any provision of Law applicable to Purchaser.
(d) Investment. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501
of Regulation D promulgated under U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”). Purchaser is acquiring the Sale Shares for investment for its own account, not as a
nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution
thereof.
(e) No Registration. Purchaser understands that the Sale Shares being sold by Sellers
have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or with any State or other
jurisdiction of the United States, are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3)
under the Securities Act and may not be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except
pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of
the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that the availability of an exemption from registration
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to Sellers’ sale of the Sale Shares to Purchaser
hereunder depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent
and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed.
(f) Access to Information. Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and
financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed
and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Sale Shares.
(g) Purchaser acknowledges that each Seller is an Affiliate of the Company and, in such
capacity, may from time to time be in possession of certain information about the Company unknown
to Purchaser (“Other Company Information”). To the fullest extent permitted by law,
Purchaser hereby waives any and all claims, actions, proceedings, suits, judgments, liens and
executions, relating to such Other Company Information and further agrees not to xxx such Seller or
any of its trustees, beneficiaries, agents, controlling persons, advisors or affiliates for any
loss, damage or liability relating to such Other Company Information.
4
Section 2.3 No Other Representations and Warranties. Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Representation Letter, Sellers
make no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied,
with respect to the Sellers, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Seller
acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Representation
Letter, Purchaser makes no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, oral or written,
express or implied, with respect to Purchaser, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.
ARTICLE III
COVENANTS
Section 3.1 Further Actions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all

make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 3.2 Confidentiality. Each party hereto shall keep confidential, and shall
cause its directors, officers and employees to keep confidential, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement (the “Confidential Information”) except as Purchaser and Sellers mutually agree
otherwise; provided that (i) any party may disclose Confidential Information (A) to the extent
advised by competent legal advisors that such disclosure is required by applicable Law and so long

treatment of the Confidential Information so disclosed and (ii) to the extent legally permissible,
provide the other party with written notice of the proposed disclosure reasonably in advance of
such disclosure (which shall not be less than 48 hours prior to such disclosure) and reasonably

its directors, officers, employees and professional advisors as necessary to the performance
of its obligations in connection herewith so long as such party advises each Person to whom
Confidential Information is so disclosed as to the confidential nature thereof and (ii) Purchaser
may disclose Confidential Information to the limited partners of its Affiliates in accordance with
their customary practices.
