and the compliance by Stockholder with the provisions hereof. None of the execution and delivery
of this Agreement by Stockholder, the consummation by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated
hereby or compliance by Stockholder with any of the provisions hereof will (i) result in a
violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of
time or both) a default (or give rise to any third party right of termination, cancellation,
modification or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond,
mortgage, indenture, lease, license, permit, contract, commitment, arrangement, understanding,
agreement or other instrument or obligation of any kind, including, without limitation, any voting
agreement, proxy arrangement, pledge agreement, shareholders agreement or voting trust, to which
Stockholder is a party or by which Stockholder or any of Stockholder’s properties or assets may be
bound, (ii) violate any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or award of any court,

transactions contemplated hereby.
(f) No Litigation. There is no suit, claim, action, investigation or proceeding
pending or, to the knowledge of Stockholder, threatened against Stockholder at law or in equity
before or by any Governmental Entity that could reasonably be expected to impair the ability of
Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby.

Agreement and the Notes. Stockholder understands and acknowledges that TCV is entering into the
Purchase Agreement and the Notes in reliance upon Stockholder’s execution, delivery and performance

damaged in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Stockholder
in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by Stockholder, and that TCV
would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in such event. It is accordingly agreed
that TCV shall be entitled, without posting any bond or other undertaking, to specific performance
and injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy
to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
