Act”)) that complies with the requirements of the Exchange Act and has been
designed by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, or under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the

controls and procedures (to the extent required by and as such term is defined in

the reports it files or will file or submit under the Exchange Act, as applicable,

principal executive officers and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure to be made and (C) such
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in all material respects.

Company or either Subsidiary or their respective family members, except as disclosed
in the Registration Statement and the Pricing Prospectus.

provisions relating to internal control over financial reporting, when such
provisions become applicable to the Company.
(xxiii) Environmental Compliance. The Company and the Subsidiaries (A) are in
compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and

Environmental Law or relating to any actual or alleged release or
7
threatened release or cleanup at any location of any hazardous or toxic
substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants, except where such noncompliance or
deviation from that described in (A)-(D) above would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor either of its Subsidiaries
has been notified in writing that they are currently named as a “potentially
responsible party” under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended.
(xxiv) Periodic Review of the Effect of Environmental Laws. In the ordinary
course of its business, the Company periodically reviews the effect of Environmental
Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries,
in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities
(including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for
clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws, or any
permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any
potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Company
has concluded that such reasonably anticipated associated costs and liabilities
would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(xxv) Governmental Permits. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries possesses
all licenses, certificates, authorizations and permits issued by, and has made all
declarations and filings with, the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory
agencies or bodies which are necessary for the ownership of its properties or the
conduct of its businesses as presently conducted, except as would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company or the Subsidiaries have received
notification of any revocation or modification of any such license, certificate,
authorization or permit or currently intend to not renew any such license,
certificate, authorization or permit which, if subject to an unfavorable decision,
ruling or finding would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Statement or registered by the Company under the Act or otherwise. Except as

the written consent to the use of such data from such sources has been obtained.
(xxviii) Tax Returns. All tax returns required to be filed by the Company and
the Subsidiaries have been timely and duly filed, other than those filings being
contested in good faith, except where the failure to file any such tax return would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s
knowledge, there are no tax returns of the Company and the Subsidiaries that are
currently being audited by state, local or federal taxing authorities or agencies
(and with respect to which the Company or
8
the Subsidiaries have received notice). All taxes, including withholding taxes,
penalties and interest, assessments, fees and other charges due or claimed to be due
from such entities, have been paid, other than those being contested in good faith
and for which adequate reserves have been provided or those currently payable
without penalty or interest, except where the failure to pay would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Subsidiaries are currently in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and
reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of
1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all jurisdictions where the
Company and the Subsidiaries conduct business, including but not limited to the USA
Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the

authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company with respect to the Money
Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.

or, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee or
affiliate of the Company or either Subsidiary is currently subject to any U.S.
sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S.
Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”). The Company will not directly or
indirectly use the proceeds of the offering of the Shares hereunder, or lend,

9
businesses and the value of their respective properties. The Company has not
received notice from any insurer or agent of such insurer that substantial capital
improvements or other expenditures will have to be made in order to continue such
insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of
such policies in all material respects, and all such insurance is duly in full force
and effect. There are no claims by the Company or the Subsidiaries under any such
policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or
defending under a reservation of rights clause. The Company has not been notified
that they will be denied renewal of their existing insurance coverage as and when
such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be
necessary to continue their businesses at a cost that could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

licenses, know-how, software, systems and technology (including trade secrets and
other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information,
systems or procedures) necessary for the conduct of their businesses in the manner
and subject to such qualifications described in the Pricing Prospectus and have no
reason to believe that the conduct of their business will conflict with, and the
Company and the Subsidiaries have not received any notice of any claim of conflict
with, any such rights of others.

stock that is rated by a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as
that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Section 3(a)(62) of the
Exchange Act.
(xxxvii) Directed Share Program. The Registration Statement, the Pricing
Prospectus, the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus comply, and any

9. General Indemnification.
(a) The Company and the Subsidiaries, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus
or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d)
under the Act, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any
such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company and
the Subsidiaries shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any such amendment or
supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in
conformity with (i) written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through
the Representatives expressly for use therein or (ii) the Selling Stockholder Information.
(b) Each of the Selling Stockholders will severally but not jointly indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus
or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the
Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus
or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in
reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Stockholder Information; and will reimburse
each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are
incurred; provided, however, that such Selling Stockholder shall not be liable in any such
case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon
23
an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the
Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the liability of any Selling Stockholder pursuant
to this subsection (b) shall not exceed the Net Proceeds (as defined below) received by such
Selling Stockholder.
(c) Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and each Selling Stockholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which the Company or such Selling Stockholder may become subject, under
the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but
only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement, or any Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein;
and will reimburse the Company and each Selling Stockholder for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Company or such Selling Stockholder in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(d) The Company and the Subsidiaries, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out
of or are based upon 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
Directed Share Participants in connection with the Directed Share Program; (ii) arise out of
or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iii) arise
out of or are based upon the failure of any Directed Share Participant to pay for and accept
delivery of Reserved Shares that such Directed Share Participant agreed to purchase; (iv)
arise out of or are based upon the violation of any applicable laws or regulations of any
jurisdictions where Reserved Shares have been offered; or (v) are related to, arising out
of, or in connection with the Directed Share Program. The indemnity agreement set forth in
this paragraph shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.
(e) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b), (c) or
(d) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection,
notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party was
24
otherwise unaware of the proceedings and suffers actual and material prejudice as a
result of such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified
party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the
consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice
from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under
such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof
other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the
written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent
to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in
respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such
settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified
party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a
statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf
of any indemnified party.
(f) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b), (c) or (d)
above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Selling Stockholders
on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares. If,
however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by
applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under
subsection (e) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, the Subsidiaries and the
Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Selling Stockholders
on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and
commissions but before deducting expenses) (the “Net Proceeds”) received by the Company and
the Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received
by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the
Prospectus. The relative fault 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 Company or the
Selling Stockholders on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The Company, the Subsidiaries, each of the Selling Stockholders and
the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to
this subsection (f) 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 which does not
take account of
25
the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (f). The amount paid
or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (f) shall be deemed to
include 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 subsection (f), 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 which
such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
subsection (f), the requirement of each Selling Stockholder to contribute contained in this
paragraph shall be limited to an amount equal to the Net Proceeds received by such Selling
Stockholder less any amounts that such Selling Stockholder is obligated to pay under
paragraph (b) above. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this
subsection (f) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
obligations and not joint. The Selling Stockholders’ obligations in this subsection (f) to
contribute are several and not joint.
(g) The obligations of the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Selling Stockholders under
this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company, the Subsidiaries and
the respective Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms
and conditions, to each affiliate, director, officer and agent of each Underwriter and to
each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each
broker-dealer affiliate of any Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under
this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may
otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and
director of the Company (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the
Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company) and to each person, if
any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the Act
10. Indemnification of QIU.
(a) The Company and the Subsidiaries, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold
harmless Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., in its capacity as QIU, against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, joint or several, to which the QIU may become subject, under the Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant
to Rule 433(d) under the Act, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading or (iii) any act or omission to act or any alleged act or omission to act by
Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co. as QIU in connection with any transaction contemplated by this
Agreement or undertaken in preparing for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares,
except as to this clause (iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
results from the gross negligence or bad faith of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. in performing the
services as QIU, and will reimburse the QIU for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred
26
by the QIU in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as
such expenses are incurred.
(b) Promptly after receipt by the QIU under subsection (a) above of notice of the
commencement of any action, the QIU shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against the Company or either of its Subsidiaries under such subsection, notify the Company
in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company shall not
relieve the Company or either of the Subsidiaries from any liability which any of them may
have to the QIU otherwise than under such subsection, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party was otherwise unaware of the proceedings and suffers actual and material
prejudice as a result of such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against the
QIU and it shall notify the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company shall be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any
other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to the QIU (who shall not, except with the consent of the QIU, be counsel to
the Company or either Subsidiary), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the QIU
of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable
to the QIU under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other
expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by the QIU, in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The Company or the Subsidiaries shall
not, without the written consent of the QIU, effect the settlement or compromise of, or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or
claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether
or not the QIU is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such
settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the QIU from all
liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or
an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the QIU.
(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to or
insufficient to hold harmless Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co., in its capacity as QIU, under subsection
(a) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) referred to therein, then each of the Company and the Subsidiaries shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by the QIU as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiaries on the one hand and the
QIU on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by
the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the QIU failed
to give the notice required under subsection (b) above, then each of the Company and the
Subsidiaries shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by the QIU in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of
the Company and the Subsidiaries on the one hand and the QIU on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiaries on the one hand and the
QIU on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total Net Proceeds
received by the Company, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, bear
to the fee payable to the QIU pursuant to Section 3 hereof. The relative fault 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 Company on the one hand or the QIU on the other and
the parties’ relative intent,
27
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement
or omission. The Company, the Subsidiaries and the QIU agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (c) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this subsection (c). The amount paid or payable by the
QIU as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) referred to above in this subsection (c) shall be deemed to include any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the QIU in connection with investigating or defending
any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(d) The obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under this Section 10 shall be
in addition to any liability which they may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same
terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the QIU within the meaning of the
Act.
11. (a)If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Shares which it has
agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or
another party or other parties to purchase such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within
thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such
Shares, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be entitled to a further period of
thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to
purchase such Shares on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods,
you notify the Company and the Selling Stockholders that you have so arranged for the purchase of
such Shares, or the Company and the Selling Stockholders notify you that they have so arranged for
the purchase of such Shares, you or the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right
to postpone a Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect
whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or
in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or
supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be
made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person
substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to
this Agreement with respect to such Shares.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company and the Selling Stockholders
as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains
unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be
purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have
the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares which
such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to
require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number
of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Shares of such
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but
nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company and the Selling Stockholders
as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains
unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all of the Shares to be
purchased at
28
such Time of Delivery, or if the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not
exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters
to purchase Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement (or,
with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase
and of the Selling Stockholders named in Schedule IIB to sell the Optional Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability
on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company or the Selling Stockholders,
except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Selling Stockholders and the
Underwriters as provided in Sections 7 and 13 hereof and the indemnity and contribution
agreements in Sections 9 and 10 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting
Underwriter from liability for its default.
12. Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and
other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the several Underwriters, as set
forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement,
shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the
results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any
Underwriter, or the Company, or any of the Selling Stockholders, or any officer or director or
controlling person of the Company, or any controlling person of any Selling Stockholder, and shall
survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.
13. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section
11 hereof, neither the Company nor the Selling Stockholders shall then be under any liability to
any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7, 9 and 10 hereof; but, if for any other reason any
Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided
herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through you for all out-of-pocket expenses
approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the
Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so
delivered, but the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall then be under no further liability to
any Underwriter in respect of the Shares not so delivered except as provided in Sections 7, 9 and
10 hereof.
14. Reliance. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the
Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request,
notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by you jointly; and in all dealings
with any Selling Stockholder hereunder, you and the Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon
any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of such Selling Stockholder made or given by
any or all of the Attorneys-in-Fact for such Selling Stockholder.
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the
Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you as the
Representatives in care of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000,
Attention: Registration Department and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx 0xx Xxxxx,

15. Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the
benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholders and, to the extent provided
in Sections 9, 10 and 12 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who
controls the Company, any Selling Stockholder or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any
right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Shares from any Underwriter

herein, the term “business day” shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in
Washington, D.C. is open for business.
17. No Fiduciary or Similar Relationship. The Company and each of the Selling
Stockholders acknowledge and agree that (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this
Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and such Selling
Stockholder, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection
therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a
principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or of such Selling Stockholder, (iii) no
Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or of such
Selling Stockholder with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto
(irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or such
Selling Stockholder on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or to such Selling
Stockholder except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company and
each of the Selling Stockholders has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent
it deemed appropriate. The Company and each of the Selling Stockholders agrees that it will not
claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or
respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or to any Selling Stockholder, in
connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings (whether written or oral) between or among the Company, the Selling Stockholders and
the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
19. Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD
RESULT IN
30
THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Company and the
Selling Stockholders agree that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this Agreement or the
Underwriters’ engagement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state
court located in The City and County of New York. The Company and each Selling Stockholder agrees
to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.
20. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company, each Selling Stockholder and each of the
Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and
all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the transactions contemplated hereby.
21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties
hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
22. Tax Structure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and
the Selling Stockholders are authorized to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal and state
income tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind
(including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company and the Selling
Stockholders relating to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriters imposing any
limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure
shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to
enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to
any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us seven
counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, on behalf of each of the Underwriters,
this letter and such acceptance hereof shall constitute a binding agreement among each of the
Underwriters, the Company, the Subsidiaries and each of the Selling Stockholders. It is understood
that your acceptance of this letter on behalf of each of the Underwriters is pursuant to the
authority set forth in a form of Agreement among Underwriters, the form of which shall be submitted
to the Company and the Selling Stockholders for examination, upon request, but without warranty on
your part as to the authority of the signers thereof.
31
Any person executing and delivering this Agreement as Attorney-in-Fact for a Selling
Stockholder represents by so doing that he or she has been duly appointed as Attorney-in-Fact by
such Selling Stockholder pursuant to a validly existing and binding Power-of-Attorney which

Re: C&J Energy Services, Inc. — Lock-Up Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that you, as representatives of the Underwriters (the
“Representatives”), propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement on behalf of the several
Underwriters named in Schedule I to such agreement (collectively, the “Underwriters”), with C&J
Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), C&J Spec-Rent Services, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, and certain selling stockholders named therein (the “Selling Stockholders”),
providing for a public offering of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”) pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-173177) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
In consideration of the agreement by the Underwriters to offer and sell the Shares, and of
other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
the undersigned agrees that, during the period specified below (the “Lock-Up Period”), the
undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any
short sale or otherwise hedge or dispose of any shares[for management only:, including any
issuer-directed shares,] of Common Stock of the Company, or any options or warrants to purchase any
shares of Common Stock of the Company, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that
represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock of the Company, [Add for management and
sponsors: whether now owned or hereinafter acquired] [Add for other selling stockholders: in each
case owned as of the time immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,]
owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the
undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the SEC (collectively the
“Undersigned’s Shares”), or publicly announce the intention to sell or dispose of such securities
or demand that the Company file any registration statement with respect to any securities.
The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any
hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to
or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Shares even if such Shares would be
disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions
would include, without limitation, any short sale or
Annex I
any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call
option), whether settled in cash or securities, with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Shares or
with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its
value from such Shares.
The initial Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continue
for 180 days after the public offering date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell the
Shares (the “Public Offering Date”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement; provided, however, that
if (1) during the last 17 days of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Company releases earnings results
or announces material news or a material event or (2) prior to the expiration of the initial
Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 15-day
period following the last day of the initial Lock-Up Period, then in each case the Lock-Up Period
will be automatically extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of
release of the earnings results or the announcement of the material news or material event, as
applicable, unless the Representatives waive, in writing, such extension.
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement
to provide written notice of any event that would result in an extension of the Lock-Up Period
pursuant to the previous paragraph to the undersigned at the address indicated below and agrees
that any such notice properly delivered will be deemed to have been given to, and received by, the
undersigned. The undersigned hereby further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or
taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement during the period
from the date of this Lock-Up Agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of
the initial Lock-Up Period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such
transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company
that the Lock-Up Period (as such may have been extended pursuant to the previous paragraph) has
expired.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned’s Shares (i) as a
bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by
the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the
undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned [add for Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxx
and Bretton Barrier: and/or for the benefit of any entity classified as a 501(c)(3) organization
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended], provided that the trustee of the trust agrees
to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein[, and provided further that any such
transfer shall not involve a disposition for value][delete this clause for Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx
XxXxxxxx and Bretton Barrier], or (iii) with the prior written consent of the Representatives on
behalf of the Underwriters[Add for management:; provided that at least two business days before
such consent is provided by the Representatives or a release or waiver of this Lock-Up Agreement is
otherwise granted by the Representatives, the Representatives will notify the Company of the
impending consent, release or waiver and announce the impending consent, release or waiver through
a major news service, except where such consent, release or waiver is effected solely to permit a
transfer of securities that is not for consideration and where the transferee has agreed in writing
to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein]. [Add for management: Additionally, the
restrictions under this agreement shall not prohibit the sale or disposition of Common Stock to
satisfy tax withholding and other obligations in connection with the exercise of stock options
awarded under the C&J Energy Services, Inc. 2006 Stock Option Plan.]
For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by
blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. In addition, notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the undersigned is a corporation, the corporation may transfer the capital stock of
the Company to any wholly-owned subsidiary of such corporation; provided, however, that in any such
case, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that
the transferee is receiving and holding such capital
Annex I
stock subject to the provisions of this Agreement and there shall be no further transfer of
such capital stock except in accordance with this Agreement, and provided further that any such
transfer shall not involve a disposition for value. The undersigned now has, and, except as
contemplated by clause (i), (ii), or (iii) above, for the duration of this Lock-Up Agreement will
have, good and marketable title to the Undersigned’s Shares, free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances, and claims whatsoever. 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 except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this
Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the offering. The undersigned further
understands that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s
heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
