3. Agreements to Sell and Purchase. The Company hereby agrees to sell to the several
Underwriters, and each Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein
contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees, severally and not jointly, to
purchase from the Company the respective numbers of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule I
hereto opposite its name at $[ ] a share (the “Purchase Price”).
On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to
its terms and conditions, the Sellers agree to sell to the Underwriters the Additional Shares, and
the Underwriters shall have the right to
15
purchase, severally and not jointly, the Additional Shares at the Purchase Price. You may
exercise this right on behalf of the Underwriters in whole or from time to time in part by giving
written notice not later than 30 days after the date of this Agreement. Any exercise notice shall
specify the number of Additional Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which
such shares are to be purchased. Each purchase date must be at least two business day after the

be purchased (an “Option Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to
purchase the number of Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional
shares as you may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional

Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm
Shares.
4. Terms of Public Offering. The Sellers are advised by you that the Underwriters propose to
make a public offering of their respective portions of the Shares as soon after the Registration

are further advised by you that the Shares are to be offered to the public initially at $[ ]
a share (the “Public Offering Price”) and to certain dealers selected by you at a price that
represents a concession not in excess of $[ ] a share under the Public Offering Price, and
that any Underwriter may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession, not in excess of $[ ] a share, to any Underwriter or to certain other dealers. The Public Offering Price is not in
excess of the price recommended by X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc. (“JPMorgan”), acting as a “qualified
independent underwriter” within the meaning of Rule 2720 of the Rules of Conduct of the NASD.
5. Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Firm Shares shall be made to the Company in Federal

respective accounts of the several Underwriters at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on [ ], 2008, or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later than [ ], 2008, as shall be designated in writing by you. The time and date of such payment are

independent underwriter” within the meaning of Rule 2720 of the NASD’s Conduct Rules in connection
with the offering of the Shares, except for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and judgments
resulting from JPMorgan’s, or such controlling person’s or affiliate’s, willful misconduct.
(b) (i) The Selling Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each
person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the
meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act to the extent and in the manner set forth in clause
(a) above, but only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such
Selling Shareholder furnished to the Company in writing by the Selling Shareholder expressly for
use in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto and those portions of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus,
the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto specifically referencing the Selling
Shareholder. (ii) The Selling Shareholder also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless JPMorgan and
each person, if any, who controls JPMorgan within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act, or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of JPMorgan, from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments incurred as a result of JPMorgan’s participation
as a “qualified independent underwriter” within the meaning of Rule 2720 of the NASD’s Conduct
Rules in connection with the offering of the Shares, except for any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, and judgments resulting from JPMorgan’s, or such controlling person’s or affiliate’s,
willful misconduct. The total liability of the Selling Shareholder under the indemnity agreement
contained in this paragraph (b) and under the contribution agreement contained in paragraphs (e)
and (f) below shall be limited to an amount equal to the gross proceeds of such Selling Shareholder
from sales of the Shares sold by the Selling Shareholder under this Agreement after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions.
(c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, the Selling Stockholder, the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who
sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling
Stockholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
26
Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Selling
Stockholder to such Underwriter set forth in Sections 9(a) and 9(b) above, respectively, but in
each case only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company
in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any
preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any free writing prospectus or the Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto.
(d) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted
involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9(a), 9(b) or
9(c), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon
request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in
such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such
proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified
party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the
retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded
parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal
expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the
same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm
(in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and
expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred; provided, however that if indemnity may be
sought pursuant to Section 9(a) above in respect of such proceeding, then in addition to such
separate firm of the Underwriters, their affiliates and such control persons of the Underwriters
the indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one
separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for JPMorgan in its capacity as a “qualified
independent underwriter”, its affiliates within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act,
and all persons, if any, who control JPMorgan within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. Such separate firm shall be designated in
writing by JPMorgan and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section
9(a)(i) or 9(b)(i), by JPMorgan in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 9(a)(ii) or
9(b)(ii), in the case of any such separate firm for the Selling Shareholder pursuant to Section
9(c) by the Selling Shareholder, and in the case of any such separate firm for the Company pursuant
to Section 9(c) by the Company. The indemnifying party shall not be
27
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if
settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified
party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and
expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the
indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt
by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have
reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 9(a), 9(b) or 9(c) is
unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or
parties, or JPMorgan in its capacity as “qualified independent underwriter,” as the case may be, on
the one hand and the indemnified party or parties, or JPMorgan in its capacity as “qualified
independent underwriter,” as the case may be, on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause 9(e)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
9(e)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and
of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Sellers on the one hand
and the Underwriters, or JPMorgan in its capacity as “qualified independent underwriter,” as the
case may be, on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be
in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before
deducting expenses) received by the Sellers and the total underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the
Prospectus, or the fee, if any, received by JPMorgan in its
28
capacity as a “qualified independent underwriter,” as the case may be, bear to the aggregate
Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Sellers on the one hand and the
Underwriters or JPMorgan in its capacity as a “qualified independent underwriter,” as the case may
be, on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Sellers or by the Underwriters or JPMorgan in
its capacity as a “qualified independent underwriter,” as the case may be, and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this
Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased
hereunder, and not joint.
(f) The Sellers and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that
does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9(e). The amount paid
or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities
referred to in Section 9(e) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above,
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were
offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at
law or in equity.
(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 9 and the
representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Selling Shareholder
contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i)
any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter,
any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, the Selling Shareholder
or any person controlling the Selling Shareholder, or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers
or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of
the Shares.
29
10. Directed Share Program Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, each person, if any, who controls Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx within the meaning of
either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act (“Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities”)
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without
limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or
investigating any such action or claim) (i) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any material prepared by or with the consent of the
Company for distribution to Participants in connection with the Directed Share Program or caused by
any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, when considered in conjunction with the Time of Sale
Prospectus, not misleading; (ii) caused by the failure of any Participant to pay for and accept
delivery of Directed Shares that the Participant agreed to purchase; or (iii) related to, arising
out of, or in connection with the Directed Share Program, other than losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or expenses relating thereto) that are finally judicially determined to have resulted
from the bad faith or gross negligence of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities.
(b) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted
involving any Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section
10(a), the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity seeing indemnity, shall promptly notify the Company in writing and
the Company, upon request of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity, shall retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity to represent the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity and any others the
Company may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of
such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity unless (i) the Company shall have agreed to the retention of
such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both the Company and the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity and representation of both parties by the
same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.
The Company shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities in
connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx Entities. Any such separate firm for the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities shall be designated in
writing by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the Company agrees to indemnify the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement
30
or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time a Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity
shall have requested the Company to reimburse it for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated
by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the Company agrees that it shall be liable for
any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Company of the aforesaid request and (ii) the
Company shall not have reimbursed the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity in accordance with such request prior
to the date of such settlement. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder
by such Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding.
(c) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 10(a) is unavailable to a Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx Entity or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
therein, then the Company in lieu of indemnifying the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity thereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity as a result of such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities on the other hand
from the offering of the Directed Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 10(c)(i)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
the relative benefits referred to in clause 10(c)(i) above but also the relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities on the other hand in connection with any
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the
one hand and the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities on the other hand in connection with the offering of the
Directed Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from
the offering of the Directed Shares (before deducting expenses) and the total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities for the Directed Shares, bear to
the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Directed Shares. If the loss, claim, damage or
liability is caused by an untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact, the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and
the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement or the omission or alleged omission relates
to information supplied by the Company or by the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.
31
(d) The Company and the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities agree that it would not be just or equitable
if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 10(c).
The amount paid or payable by the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities as a result of the losses, claims,
damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entities in connection with investigating or defending any such
action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity shall
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the
Directed Shares distributed to the Participants were offered to the Participants exceeds the amount
of any damages that such Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity has otherwise been required to pay. The remedies
provided for in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which
may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(e) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 10 shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii)
any investigation made by or on behalf of any Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Entity or the Company, its officers or
directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Directed Shares.
11. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the
Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i)
trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be,
any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or the Nasdaq Global Market, (ii)
trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any
over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance
services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking
activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall
have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any
calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together
with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the
manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
12. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
32
If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the
Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase
hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares that such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate
number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated
severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective
names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the
names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to
purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused
to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter
has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 12 by an
amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such
Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to
purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to that such default
occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such date,
and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not
made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the
part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either you or the Company
shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in
order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale
Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an
Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional
Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is
more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option
Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their
obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or
(ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters
would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this
paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of
such Underwriter under this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any
failure or refusal on the part of any Seller to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the
conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason any Seller shall be unable to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, such defaulting Seller will reimburse the Underwriters or such
Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all
out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably
33
incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated
hereunder. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12 by reasons of the default
of one of the Underwriters, the Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting
Underwriter on account of their expenses.
13. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written
agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that
relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the
Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the
preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct
of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.
(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the
Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the
Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and
obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded
by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of
the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may
have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with
the offering of the Shares.
14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the
same instrument.
15. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York.
16. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.
17. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt
and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to you in care of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx &

Re: MAKO Surgical Corp.—Initial Public Offering
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc. (“X.X. Xxxxxx”) and Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated (“Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the
“Underwriting Agreement”) with MAKO Surgical Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
providing for the public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 as filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters
named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement, including X.X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx
(the “Underwriters”), of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
“Common Stock”).
To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their
efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the
prior written consent of X.X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not,
during the period commencing on the date of the initial preliminary prospectus relating to the
Public Offering and ending 180 days after the date of the final prospectus (the “Prospectus”)
relating to the Public Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, announce the
intention to sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option
or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any
F-1
shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock (including without limitation, Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially
owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
securities that may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) or (2) enter into any
swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1)
or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or
otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to transactions relating to shares of Common
Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public
Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up
Period in connection with subsequent sales of Common Stock or such other securities acquired in
open market transactions during the Lock-Up Period (it being understood that purchases of Common
Stock or such other securities shall be permitted in open market transactions during the Lock-Up
Period regardless of whether a filing is required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act). In
addition, the foregoing sentence shall not apply to shares of Common Stock that may be withheld by
the Company to pay taxes upon vesting of restricted Common Stock held by employees of the Company.
In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of X.X. Xxxxxx and
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the date
of the initial preliminary prospectus relating to the Public Offering and ending 180 days after the
date of the Prospectus, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration
of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions
with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of
Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer shares of Common Stock or any
security convertible into shares of Common Stock (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts; (ii) as a

undersigned requests and receives prior written confirmation from the Company or X.X. Xxxxxx and
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx that the restrictions imposed by this agreement have expired.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and
authority to enter into this agreement and owns its Common Stock free and clear of any liens,
encumbrances or claims. The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are
relying upon this agreement in
F-3
proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands
that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns.
Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including
market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement,
the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.
This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
This agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur, if any, of:
(a) either X.X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx on the one hand, or the Company, on the other
hand, advising the other in writing, prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that it
has determined not to proceed with the Public Offering, (b) termination of the Underwriting
Agreement entered into between the Company and the Underwriters before the sale of any Common Stock
to the Underwriters or (c) December 31, 2007, in the event that the Underwriting Agreement has not
