Section 3(b) hereof; provided that the foregoing shall not preclude the pledge by the
Investor Stockholders of any Shares to their lenders in the ordinary course of business.
(b) First Refusal Rights. At least 30 days prior to making any transfer other than an
Exempt Transfer or a transfer after the consummation of a Liquidity Event, any Investor Stockholder
wishing to transfer any shares of Common Stock it holds (the “Transferring Stockholder” and
the shares
of Common Stock the “Transfer Shares”) will deliver a written notice (the “Sale
Notice”) to the Company, Xxxxxx and the other Investor Stockholders. The Sale Notice will
disclose in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s) and the terms and
conditions of the proposed transfer. Xxxxxx and any other Investor Stockholder may elect to
purchase all (but not less than all) of the Transfer Shares upon the same terms and conditions as
those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a written notice of such
8
election to the
Transferring Stockholder within 30 days after the receipt of the Sale Notice. To the extent that
multiple parties wish to purchase the Transfer Shares, such parties shall be allocated the Transfer
Shares on a pro rata basis relative to the number of shares of Common Stock they hold at the time
of purchase. To the extent that Xxxxxx and the Investor Stockholders have not elected to purchase
all of the Transfer Shares, the Company may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the
Transfer Shares upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice, by
delivering a written notice of such election to the Transferring Stockholder within 30 days after
the receipt of the Sale Notice. Any Person who has the right to acquire Transfer Shares pursuant
to this Section 3(b) will be given up to 30 days (after it has been determined that such
Person has such right) to consummate the purchase and sale of the Transfer Shares (the
“Authorization Period”). If Xxxxxx, the other Investor Stockholders and the Company have
not elected to purchase, in the aggregate, all of the Transfer Shares specified in the Sale Notice,
the Transferring Stockholder may transfer the Transfer Shares specified in the Sale Notice to the
transferee identified in the Sale Notice, at a price and on terms substantially similar to the
transferee(s) thereof (provided that a purchase price that is at least 97.5% of the price at which
the Transfer Shares were offered in the Sales Notice shall be deemed to be substantially similar),
in the Sale Notice during the 90-day period immediately following the Authorization Period;
provided, that the transferee(s) thereof agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of
this Agreement. Any Transfer Shares not transferred within such 90-day period will be subject to
the provisions of this Section 3(b) upon subsequent transfer.
(c) Certain Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in Section 3 will
not apply with respect to transfers of Shares to (x) an Affiliate of the transferring Investor
Stockholder, (y) upon the pro rata distribution of all Shares owned by an Investor Stockholder to
its owners, the limited, special and general partners or members of such Investor Stockholder, or
(z) a fund managed by any of (i) the transferring Investor Stockholder, (ii) an Affiliate of the
transferring Investor Stockholder, or (iii) a fund advised by an affiliated advisor of the
transferring Investor Stockholder; provided that in each such case the transferee of such Shares
has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Shares.
(d) Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions on the transfer of Shares set forth
in Section 3(a) and Section 3(b) will continue with respect to all Shares until the
consummation of a Liquidity Event.
4. Additional Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) Legend. Until a Liquidity Event has occurred, the certificates representing the
Common Stock held by the holders of the Shares will bear the following legend:

DATED AS OF MARCH __, 2007, AS AMENDED, MODIFIED, OR
OTHERWISE SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH

PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT CHARGE.
(b) Opinion of Counsel. No holder of Shares may sell, pledge or otherwise directly or
indirectly transfer (whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily
or by operation of law) any Shares (except pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement
under the
Securities Act or (ii) a transfer pursuant to Section 5 or 6 hereof) without
first delivering to the Company, if reasonably requested by the Company, an opinion of counsel

qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is required in
connection therewith.

a single transaction or a series of transactions, all the Common Stock at that time owned by Xxxxxx

respect to, a Sale of the Company, then Xxxxxx may require each holder of Shares to vote in favor

with the sale by Xxxxxx for the same form and amount of consideration per share as is applicable to
the Common Stock to be sold by Xxxxxx; provided that no additional consideration shall be provided

merger or consolidation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

all consideration payable in connection with the transaction) and (ii) make explicit reference to
this Section 5 and state that each of the holders of Shares is obligated to vote in favor
of and/or sell its, his or her Shares pursuant to such transaction. Xxxxxx and the Company shall
provide to each holder of Shares copies of all material documentation relating to the proposed sale
as such holder may from time to time reasonably request.
(c) If Xxxxxx exercises the right granted pursuant to Section 5(a), subject to
compliance with the other applicable terms of this Agreement, each holder of Shares shall promptly
take such actions and shall promptly execute such documents and instruments as shall be necessary
and desirable to consummate the proposed transaction.
(d) If applicable, at the closing of any such transaction, each holder of Shares shall deliver
a certificate or certificates, registered in such holder’s name, properly endorsed and with all
required transfer stamps, if any, representing the Shares being sold by such holder against
delivery of the applicable consideration from the Buyer.
(e) Each holder of Shares will bear its, his or her pro rata share (based upon the number of
shares sold) of the reasonable costs of any sale of Shares or other transaction pursuant to this
Section 5 to the extent that such costs are incurred for the benefit of substantially all
of the Company’s stockholders and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. No
Investor Stockholder shall be obligated to pay more than his or its pro rata amount of such costs
(based on the proportion of the aggregate transaction consideration received). Costs incurred by
the Investor Stockholders and the other holders of Shares (if any) on their own behalf will not be
considered costs of the transaction under this Agreement.
(f) In the event that the Investor Stockholders are required to provide any representations,
warranties or indemnities in connection with a Sale of the Company (other than representations,
warranties and indemnities on a several basis concerning each Investor Stockholder’s valid
ownership of his or its Shares, free of all liens and encumbrances, enforceability and each
Investor Stockholder’s authority, power, and right to enter into and consummate agreements relating
to such Sale of the Company without violating applicable law or any other agreement), then each
Investor Stockholder shall not be liable for more than his or its pro rata amount (based on the
proportion of the aggregate transaction consideration received) of any liability for
misrepresentation or indemnity (except in respect of
such several representations and warranties) and, in any case, such liability shall not exceed
the total purchase price received by such Investor Stockholder (net of broker fees) from such
purchaser for his or its Shares (including the exercise price thereof), and, to the extent that an
indemnification escrow has been established, such liability shall be satisfied solely out of any
funds escrowed for such purpose prior to recourse against such Investor Stockholder.
10
(g) If any Stockholder is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be
received with respect to Shares, all holders of Shares of such class will be given the same option.
(h) The provisions of this Section 5 will terminate upon the completion of a Qualified
Public Offering.
6. Tag Rights.
(a) If any Xxxxxx Stockholder at any time proposes to sell or otherwise directly or indirectly
transfer any Shares at that time owned by such Xxxxxx Stockholder then, as a condition precedent
thereto, such Xxxxxx Stockholder shall afford the Investor Stockholders the right to participate in
such transfer in accordance with this Section 6.
(b) Each Xxxxxx Stockholder shall give written notice to the Investor Stockholders (a
“Notice of Transfer”) not less than 45 nor more than 60 days prior to any proposed transfer
of any such Shares. Each such Notice of Transfer shall:
(i) specify in reasonable detail (A) the number of Shares the Xxxxxx Stockholder proposes to
transfer, (B) the identity of the proposed transferee or transferees of such Shares, (C) the time
within which, the price per share at which and all other terms and conditions upon which the Xxxxxx
Stockholder proposes to transfer such Shares, (including a description of all consideration payable
in connection with the transfer) and (D) the percentage of the Shares then owned by the Xxxxxx
Stockholder which such Xxxxxx Stockholder proposes to transfer to such proposed transferee or
transferees;
(ii) make explicit reference to this Section 6 and state that the right of the
Investor Stockholders to participate in such transfer under this Section 6 shall expire
unless exercised within 20 days after receipt of such Notice of Transfer; and
(iii) contain an irrevocable offer by the Xxxxxx Stockholder to the Investor Stockholders to
participate in the proposed transfer to the extent provided in Section 6(c) below.
(c) The Investor Stockholders shall each have the right to transfer to the proposed transferee
or transferees that number of Shares which is equal to the Applicable Percentage (or, if any
Investor Stockholder shall elect, any lesser percentage) of the number of Shares the Xxxxxx
Stockholder proposed to transfer, at the same price per share and on the same terms and conditions
as are applicable to the proposed transfer by the Xxxxxx Stockholder (and, if and to the extent any
Investor Stockholder shall exercise such right, then the Common Stock to be transferred by the
Xxxxxx Stockholder shall be correspondingly reduced); provided, that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Investor Stockholders shall be obligated to
indemnify the proposed transferee or transferees upon the same terms and conditions as are
applicable to the indemnification given by the Xxxxxx Stockholder in connection with such proposed
transfer subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(f).
(d) Each Investor Stockholder must notify the transferring Xxxxxx Stockholder of any
acceptances under this Section 6(d) within 20 days after receipt of the Notice of Transfer
if such Investor Stockholder desires to accept such offer and to transfer any of its Shares in
accordance with this Section 6. The failure of any Investor Stockholder to provide such
notice within such 20 day period shall, for the purposes of this Section 6, be deemed to
constitute an irrevocable waiver by that Investor Stockholder of its individual right to transfer
any of its Shares in connection with the proposed transfer described in such Notice of Transfer.
The transferring Xxxxxx Stockholder shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
agreement of the prospective transferee or transferees to the participation of the Investor
Stockholders, if the Investor Stockholders properly elect to participate in such proposed
transfer, and Xxxxxx shall not consummate any such proposed transfer unless the Investor
Stockholders are permitted to participate in accordance with the provisions of this Section
6. The Investor Stockholders shall not be obligated to transfer any Shares pursuant to this
Section 6, except to the extent that the Investor Stockholders have notified the applicable
Person of the Investor Stockholders’ acceptance of the offer contained in the Notice of Transfer.
Any and all transfers of Shares by the Investor Stockholders
11
pursuant to this Section 6
shall be subject to, and made concurrently with, the actual transfer of Common Stock by the Xxxxxx
Stockholder.
(e) Subject to the consummation of the transfer contemplated by the Notice of Transfer, the
Investor Stockholders shall take such actions and shall execute such documents and instruments as
shall be reasonably necessary (and not adverse in any material respect to its interests) to
consummate the proposed sale as expeditiously as is reasonably prudent.
(f) At the closing of any such transfer, the Investor Stockholders shall deliver a certificate
or certificates, registered in the Investor Stockholders’ name, properly endorsed and with all
required transfer stamps, if any, representing the securities being sold by the Investor
Stockholders against delivery of the applicable consideration by the proposed transferee.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6, the Investor
Stockholders shall not have any rights pursuant to this Section 6 to participate in any
transfer by any Xxxxxx Stockholder to any Affiliated fund of Xxxxxx, and/or any employees or
directors of Xxxxxx or of any such Affiliate.
(h) The Notice of Transfer contemplated by this Section 6 and the Drag-Along Notice
contemplated by Section 5(b) may be combined in a single notice.
(i) If any Stockholder is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be
received with respect to Shares, all holders of Shares of such class will be given the same option.
(j) The provisions of this Section 6 will terminate upon the completion of a Qualified
Public Offering.
7. Preemptive Rights.
(a) If at any time while an Investor Stockholder holds Shares, the Company proposes to issue,
sell or grant (other than pursuant to an Exempt Issuance) any shares of Common Stock, preferred
stock or other equity securities, whether now or hereafter authorized (“New Stock”), or
proposes to issue, sell or grant (other than pursuant to an Exempt Issuance) any securities or
instruments convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for New Stock or any options or rights to
purchase any such securities or instruments (“New Securities”), then not less than 30 days
nor more than 60 days prior to consummating such transaction, the Company shall give notice thereof
to the Xxxxxx Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders (a “Preemptive Rights Notice”).
Each such Preemptive Rights Notice shall:
(i) specify in reasonable detail (A) the number and type of New Stock and/or New Securities
which the Company proposes to issue or sell, and (B) the time within which, the price per share at
which and all other material terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue or sell
such securities; and
(ii) make explicit reference to this Section 7 and state that the right of the Xxxxxx
Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders to purchase any of such securities pursuant to this
Section 7 shall expire unless exercised within 20 days after receipt of such Preemptive
Rights Notice.
(b) Each Xxxxxx Stockholder and Investor Stockholder shall have the right, in the nature of a
preemptive right, to purchase that amount of such New Stock or New Securities, on the same terms
and conditions as shall be applicable to the issue or sale of such New Stock or New Securities, as
will enable each Xxxxxx Stockholder and Investor Stockholder to maintain its fully diluted
percentage
ownership of securities of the Company following such issuance or sale at the level held by it
immediately prior to such issuance or sale. Each Xxxxxx Stockholder and Investor Stockholder may
purchase the total amount of New Stock or New Securities to which it is entitled or any lesser
amount as that Xxxxxx Stockholder or Investor Stockholder may elect.
12
(c) Each Xxxxxx Stockholder and Investor Stockholder must notify the Company within 20 days
after receipt of the Preemptive Rights Notice if such Xxxxxx Stockholder or Investor Stockholder
desires to exercise its purchase rights under this Section 7. The failure of such Xxxxxx
Stockholder or Investor Stockholder to provide such notice within such 20-day period shall, for
purposes of this Section 7, be deemed to constitute an irrevocable waiver by that Xxxxxx
Stockholder or Investor Stockholder of its right to purchase any portion of the New Stock and/or
New Securities specified in such Preemptive Rights Notice. The Company will not consummate any
such proposed issue or sale unless the Xxxxxx Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders electing
to exercise their purchase rights under this Section 7 are permitted to purchase the
securities they are entitled to pursuant to this Section 7. The Xxxxxx Stockholders and
the Investor Stockholders shall not be obligated to purchase any securities pursuant to this
Section 7, except to the extent that any Xxxxxx Stockholder or Investor Stockholder has
notified the Company of the Investor Stockholder’s exercise of the preemptive rights granted in
this Section 7.
(d) The provisions of this Section 7 will terminate upon the completion of a Qualified
Public Offering.
8. Registration Rights.
(a) Registration Request. At any time that the Shares are eligible to be registered
by the filing of a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act (or any successor form
thereto), Xxxxxx, the Eos Stockholders (as a group), the ACAS Stockholders (as a group) or the
Sankaty Stockholders (as a group) may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any
portion of their Shares (provided the amount of their Shares to be registered equals at least 1% of
the then outstanding Common Stock and relates to shares of Common Stock having an aggregate
offering price of at least $1,000,000) on Form S-3 (a “Demand Registration”), subject to
the limitations set forth in Section 8(b) below. The Company shall undertake such
registration pursuant to Section 8(e) below.
(b) Each of Xxxxxx, the Eos Stockholders (as a group), the ACAS Stockholders (as a group) and
the Sankaty Stockholders (as a group) shall be limited to a total of two (2) Demand Registrations.
A Demand Registration will not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of this Section
8 unless the registration statement or preliminary or final prospectus, as the case may be,
relating thereto (i) has become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) has
remained effective for a period of at least 90 days (or such shorter period in which all
registrable Common Stock included in such registration has actually been sold thereunder), and
(iii) at least 75% of the registrable Common Stock requested to be included in such Demand
Registration by the Investor Stockholders are so included.
(c) Piggyback Rights. Whenever the Company proposes to file a registration statement
under the Securities Act either (i) pursuant to Section 8(a), or (ii) for any underwritten
sale of shares of any of the Company’s equity securities, except in the case of an initial public
offering in which only primary shares are sold, the Company shall give written notice of such
registration to the Xxxxxx Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders no later than 25 days before
its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). If any Xxxxxx
Stockholder or any Investor Stockholder so requests in writing within 15 days of receiving such
notice, the Company shall include in any registration the Common Stock of the Xxxxxx Stockholder
and/or the Investor Stockholder requested to be included in such registration on the same terms and
conditions as the securities otherwise being sold in such registration.
(d) Pro Rata Reduction. The Company shall not be obligated pursuant to Section
8(a) or 8(c) to so include Shares owned by the Xxxxxx Stockholders or the Investor
Stockholders to the extent the underwriter or underwriters of such securities being otherwise
registered by the Company shall determine in good faith that the inclusion of such Shares would
jeopardize the successful sale at the
desired price of such other securities proposed to be sold by such underwriter or
underwriters, in which case the Xxxxxx Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders shall be entitled
to participate in any such reduced number of shares of Common Stock (if any) which may be included
in such registration on a pro rata basis in proportion to their relative holdings of shares of
Shares. This Section 8(d) shall be interpreted to permit the Investor Stockholders to
participate in public offerings on a pro rata basis with
13
Xxxxxx and its Affiliates. In addition,
the Company and Xxxxxx shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to maximize the number of shares
owned by the Xxxxxx Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders which may be included in the
registration relative to the participation of other Company stockholders.
(e) Registration Procedures. Whenever any Xxxxxx Stockholder or Investor Stockholder
has requested that any Common Stock be registered in accordance with this Section 8, the
Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Common Stock in
accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and pursuant thereto the Company shall
as expeditiously as possible:
(i) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Common Stock
on Form S-3 and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective and to maintain its effectiveness until the earlier of 90 days or the completion of the
contemplated distribution of Shares; provided, however, that the Company may
postpone for up to 90 days the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement (including per
a Demand Registration) if the Company is in possession of material non-public information relating
to a proposed financing, recapitalization, acquisition, business combination or other material
transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which the Board determines in good
faith would require disclosure in the registration statement by the Company of such material
non-public information for which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not disclosing
and disclosure of such information is not otherwise required by law;
(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such
registration statement effective during the applicable distribution period;
(iii) furnish to each Xxxxxx Stockholder and Investor Stockholder such number of copies of
such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such
registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as the
Investor Stockholders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Common
Stock owned by the Investor Stockholders;
(iv) notify in writing Xxxxxx, the Eos Representatives and the ACAS Representative (x) of the
receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to any comments by the SEC with respect to
such registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any request by
the SEC for the amending or supplementing thereof or for additional information with respect
thereto, (y) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the issuance by the
SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that
purpose and (z) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of
the qualification of such Common Stock for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purposes;
(v) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Common Stock under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Investor Stockholders may reasonably
request and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to
enable the Investor Stockholders to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Common
Stock owned by the Xxxxxx Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders (provided that the Company
shall not be required to (a) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would
not otherwise be required to qualify but for this clause (iv), (b) subject itself to taxation in
any such jurisdiction or (c) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);
(vi) notify the Xxxxxx Stockholders and the Investor Stockholders, at any time when a
prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening
of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement
14
contains
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading;
(vii) use its best efforts to obtain from its independent certified public accountants “cold
comfort” letters in customary form and at customary times and covering matters of the type
customarily covered by cold comfort letters;
(viii) use its best efforts to obtain from its counsel an opinion or opinions in customary
form;
(ix) provide a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity and which may be the
Company) for such shares of Common Stock;
(x) list such shares of Common Stock on any national securities exchange on which any shares
of the Common Stock are listed or, if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities
exchange, use its best efforts to qualify such Common Stock for inclusion on the automated
quotation system of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”), or
such other national securities exchange as the Board may select;
(xi) enter into such customary agreements and take all such other actions as the holders of a
majority of the Common Stock being sold reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of such Common Stock; and
(xii) permit any holder of Common Stock which is reasonably likely to be deemed to be an
underwriter or a controlling person of the Company to participate in the preparation of such
registration or statement and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the
Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be
included.
(f) Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or
compliance with this Section 8, including without limitation all registration and filing
fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses,
messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all
independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding discounts and commissions) and
other persons or entities retained by the Company (all such expenses being herein called
“Registration Expenses”), shall be borne by the Company, and the Company shall, in any
event, pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its
officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or
quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the
securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed or on the NASD automated quotation system; provided,
however, that (i) all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the
shares of Common Stock shall be borne by the holders selling such shares, in proportion to the
number of shares sold by each such holder, and (ii) each Xxxxxx Stockholder and Investor
Stockholder shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of its legal counsel.
(g) Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Xxxxxx
Stockholder, each Investor Stockholder, and each of their respective officers, directors,
employees, members, partners, and advisors and their respective Affiliates, any underwriter (as
defined in the Securities Act) for such Investor Stockholders and each Person, if any, who controls
the Investor Stockholders or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses and reasonable costs of investigation) to which the Investor
Stockholders or underwriter or such controlling person may be subject, under the Securities Act and
state securities or blue sky laws as applicable or otherwise, insofar as any thereof arise out of
or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in (A) any registration statement under which such Xxxxxx
Stockholder’s or Investor Stockholder’s Common Stock was registered under the Securities Act
pursuant to this Section 8, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus contained therein, or
any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) any other document incident to the registration of the
Common Stock under the
15
Securities Act or the qualification of the Common Stock under any state
securities laws applicable to the Company, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any
item referred to in the preceding clause (i) a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation
by the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other
federal or state securities law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to
action or inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration or qualification;
provided, however, that a Xxxxxx Stockholder and an Investor Stockholder shall not
be entitled to indemnification if and only to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of material fact or alleged untrue
statement of material fact or omission to state a material fact or alleged omission to state a
material fact based upon information furnished to the Company in writing by such Xxxxxx Stockholder
or Investor Stockholder for use therein (with respect to which information such Xxxxxx Stockholder
or Investor Stockholder shall so indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act); provided,
further, that in no event shall the liability of a Xxxxxx Stockholder or an Investor
Stockholder exceed the net proceeds received by such Xxxxxx Stockholder or Investor Stockholder
from its sales pursuant to the registration statement.
9. Restrictions on Certain Affiliate Transactions.
(a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into
any transaction with
(i) any Affiliate or any of its Subsidiaries other than Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries; or
(ii) Xxxxxx or any beneficial owner which, together with its Affiliates, owns more than 10% in
the aggregate of the Company’s fully diluted equity (a “10% Holder”) or any Affiliate or
Subsidiary of Xxxxxx or any 10% Holder (collectively, the “Restricted Affiliates”),
except (a) the Management Agreement, and/or (b) other transactions which are no less favorable to
the Company or Subsidiary than would be obtained in comparable arms’-length transactions with
non-Affiliates (provided that if any such transaction described in this clause (b) is with a
Restricted Affiliate and has a transaction value of more that $1.0 million, and Investor
Stockholders that then own at least a combined 3% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock on a
fully diluted basis so request, such transaction shall require the prior written consent of the
holders of a majority of the Shares (other than the Restricted Affiliate), which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(b) The provisions of this Section 9 will terminate upon the completion of a Qualified
Public Offering.
10. Sales/Merger/Reorganization. In the event of (i) any consolidation or merger
involving the Company other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and the share ownership shall be unchanged; (ii) the disposition of all or
substantially all of the capital stock or the property and assets of the Company; (iii) a capital
reorganization of the Company; or (iv) a reclassification of the Common Stock, each share of stock
of the same class shall receive the same form and amount of consideration as all other shares in
that class of stock.
11. Further Assurances. The Company and Xxxxxx shall promptly inform the Investor
Stockholders (i) of any amendment to any agreement the Company and/or Xxxxxx has with the Other
Stockholders that is similar to this Agreement, and (ii) of any new agreements that the Company
and/or Xxxxxx enters into with any Other Stockholder after the date hereof. Solely with regards to
those provisions contained in Sections 3, 5, 6, 7 and 10 of
this Agreement, if any such amendment or agreement shall contain a provision more favorable to the
Other Stockholders than similar provisions contained in the aforementioned sections of this
Agreement, or add new provisions related to the rights
and benefits contained in the aforementioned sections of this Agreement which would otherwise
benefit the Investor Stockholders, both Xxxxxx and the Company agree, as soon a practicable, to
take the
16
necessary actions to amend this Agreement to provide those same rights and benefits to the
Investor Stockholders.

OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATED
DOCUMENTS OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
19. Remedies. Each of the parties to this Agreement will be entitled to enforce its
rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any
provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor. The parties
hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the

law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order
to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement.

23. Failure to Deliver Securities. If any Investor Stockholder or other holder of
Shares (or the Investor Stockholders’ or such other holder’s estate or any other representative of

Agreement shall fail to deliver such Shares on the terms and in accordance with this Agreement, the
Company, in addition to all other remedies it may have, may send to the such obligated party by
