3. “TAG ALONG” AND “DRAG ALONG” RIGHTS.

3.1. Tag Along. No holder of Investor Shares (collectively, for purposes of Sales pursuant to this Section 3.1, the “Prospective Selling Group”) shall Transfer for value (a “Sale”) any such Shares to any Person (a “Prospective Buyer”) except in compliance with this Section 3.1. Any attempted Transfer of Investor Shares not in compliance with this Section 3 shall be null and void, and the Company shall not in any way give effect to any such impermissible Transfer.

3.1.1. Notice. A written notice (the “Tag Along Notice”) shall be furnished by the Prospective Selling Group to each holder of Management Shares (each a “Tag Along Holder”) at least ten business days prior to such Transfer. The Tag Along Notice shall include:

(a) The principal terms of the proposed Sale insofar as it relates to the Common Stock, including the number of Shares to be purchased from the Prospective Selling Group, the percentage of the total number of Investor Shares which such number of Shares constitutes (the “Tag Along Sale Percentage”), the maximum and minimum per share purchase price and the name and address of the Prospective Buyer; and

(b) An invitation to each Tag Along Holder to make an offer to include in the proposed Sale to the Prospective Buyer an additional number of Management Shares (not in any event to exceed the Tag Along Sale Percentage of the total number of Management Shares held by such Tag Along Holder) owned by such Tag Along Holder, on the same terms and conditions, subject to Section 3.3.4 in the case of Options, with respect to each Share Sold, as the Prospective Selling Group shall Sell each of their Shares.

3.1.2. Exercise. In the event the consideration in the sale includes any non-cash consideration, the Prospective Selling Group will use reasonable commercial efforts during the period of ten business days after the effectiveness of the Tag Along Notice to respond to reasonable requests for information to enable the Tag Along Holders to evaluate such non-cash consideration, but shall have no liability as to the accuracy or completeness of any information furnished in response to any such request. Within ten business days after the effectiveness of the Tag Along Notice, each Tag Along Holder desiring to make an offer to include Management Shares in the proposed Sale (each a “Participating Seller” and, together with the Prospective Selling Group, collectively, the “Tag Along Sellers”) shall furnish a written offer (the “Tag Along Offer”) to the Prospective Selling Group specifying the number of Management Shares (not in any event to exceed the Tag Along Sale Percentage of the total number of Management Shares held by such Participating Seller) which such Participating Seller desires to have included in the proposed Sale. Each Tag Along Holder who does not accept the Prospective Selling Group’s invitation to make an offer to include Management Shares in the proposed Sale shall be deemed to have waived all of his rights with respect to such proposed Sale, and the Tag Along Sellers shall thereafter be free to Sell to the Prospective Buyer, at a per share price no greater than the maximum per share price set forth in the Tag Along Notice and on other principal terms which are not materially more favorable to the Tag Along Sellers than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice, without any further obligation to such non-accepting Tag Along Holders.

3.1.3. Irrevocable Offer. The offer of each Participating Seller contained in his Tag Along Offer shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, such Participating Seller shall be bound and obligated to Sell in the proposed Sale on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each Management Share Sold (subject to Section 3.3.4 in the case of Options), as the Prospective Selling Group, up to such number of Management Shares as such Participating Seller shall have specified in his Tag Along Offer; provided, however, that if the principal terms of the proposed Sale change with the result that the per share price shall be less than the minimum per share price set forth in

-3-

the Tag Along Notice or the other principal terms shall be materially less favorable to the Tag Along Sellers than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice, each Participating Seller shall be permitted to withdraw the offer contained in his Tag Along Offer and shall be released from his obligations thereunder.

3.1.4. Reduction of Shares Sold. The Prospective Selling Group shall attempt to obtain the inclusion in the proposed Sale of the entire number of Shares which the Tag Along Sellers requested to have included in the Sale (as evidenced in the case of the Prospective Selling Group by the Tag Along Notice and in the case of each Participating Seller by such Participating Seller’s Tag Along Offer). In the event the Prospective Selling Group shall be unable to obtain the inclusion of such entire number of Shares in the proposed Sale (consistent with all obligations of members of the Prospective Selling Group to include shares other than Management Shares in the Sale), the number of Shares to be sold in the proposed Sale by each Tag Along Seller shall be reduced on a pro rata basis according to the proportion which the number of Shares which each such Tag Along Seller desires to have included in the Sale bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock which all of the Tag Along Sellers and any other holders of Common Stock having similar rights desire to have included in the Sale.

3.1.5. Additional Compliance. If (a) prior to consummation, the terms of the proposed Sale shall change with the result that the per share price to be paid in such proposed Sale shall be greater than the maximum per share price set forth in the Tag Along Notice or the other principal terms of such proposed Sale shall be materially more favorable to the Tag Along Sellers than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice, the Tag Along Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Tag Along Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 3.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 3.1; provided, however, that in the case of such a separate Tag Along Notice, the applicable period to which reference is made in Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 shall be five business days and (b) the Prospective Selling Group have not completed the proposed Sale by the end of the 180th day following the date of the effectiveness of the Tag Along Notice, each Participating Seller shall be released from his obligations under his Tag Along Offer, the Tag Along Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Tag Along Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 3.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 3.1, unless the failure to complete such proposed Sale resulted from any failure by any Participating Seller to comply with the terms of this Section 3.1.

3.1.6. Excluded Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) holders of Investor Shares shall not be obligated to comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1 and (ii) no holder of Management Shares shall have any right of participation pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.1 or otherwise, in each case, with respect to any Transfer of Investor Shares:

(a)

subject to the provisions of Section 8.1, to an Investor or an Affiliated Fund;

-4-

(b)

subject to the provisions of Section 8.1, by a holder of Investor Shares to its direct or indirect partners;

(c)

to any director, officer or employee of, or consultant or adviser to, or franchisee (or Affiliate thereof) of, the Company or its subsidiaries, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Investor Shares Transferred pursuant to this Section 3.1.6(c) shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Shares originally issued to the Investors;

(d)

subject to the provisions of Section 7.4.3, in a Public Offering or, after the closing of an Initial Public Offering, pursuant to Rule 144;

(e)

with respect to which the Majority Shareholders exercise their “drag along” rights pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement; or

(f)

if, after giving effect to such Transfer, the Investors and the Affiliated Funds will continue to own not less than 80% of the Shares originally issued to the Investors.

3.2. Drag Along.

3.2.1. Drag Along Sales. Each holder of Management Shares hereby agrees, if requested by the Majority Shareholders (collectively, for purposes of Sales pursuant to this Section 3.2, the “Prospective Selling Group”) to Sell a specified percentage (the “Drag Along Sale Percentage”) of such Management Shares, directly or indirectly, to a Prospective Buyer in the manner and on the terms set forth in this Section 3.2 in connection with the Sale by the Prospective Selling Group of the Drag Along Sale Percentage of the total number of Shares held by the Prospective Selling Group to the Prospective Buyer.

3.2.2. Exercise. If the Prospective Selling Group elect to exercise their rights under this Section 3.2, the Prospective Selling Group shall furnish a written notice (the “Drag Along Notice”) to each other holder of Management Shares. The Drag Along Notice shall set forth the principal terms of the proposed Sale insofar as it relates to the Common Stock, including the number of Shares to be acquired from the Prospective Selling Group, the Drag Along Sale Percentage, the per Share consideration to be received in the proposed Sale and the name and address of the Prospective Buyer and whether or not the Prospective Buyer is an Affiliate of the Majority Investors. If the Prospective Selling Group consummate the proposed Sale to which reference is made in the Drag Along Notice, each other holder of Management Shares (each a “Participating

-5-

Seller”, and, together with the Prospective Selling Group, collectively, the “Drag Along Sellers”) shall be bound and obligated to Sell the Drag Along Sale Percentage of his Management Shares in the proposed Sale on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each Management Share Sold (subject to Section 3.3.4 in the case of Options), as the Prospective Selling Group shall Sell each Share in the Sale (subject to Section 3.3.4 in the case of Options). Further, in the event that the Prospective Selling Group is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all Drag Along Sellers will be given the same option, and if any Drag Along Seller is prohibited by applicable law or regulation (other than federal or state securities law) from receiving such form of consideration, the Company and/or Prospective Selling Group shall use reasonable commercial efforts to cause the prospective purchaser to accommodate such holder to the fullest extent possible. If at the end of the 180th day following the date of the effectiveness of the Drag Along Notice the Prospective Selling Group have not completed the proposed Sale, each Participating Seller shall be released from his obligation under the Drag Along Notice, the Drag Along Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Drag Along Notice to be furnished and the terms and provisions of this Section 3.2 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 3.2.

3.3. Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall be applied to any prospective Sale to which Section 3.1 or 3.2 applies:

3.3.1. Certain Legal Requirements. In the event the consideration to be paid in exchange for Management Shares in a proposed Sale pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 includes any securities, and the receipt thereof by a Participating Seller would require under applicable law (a) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (b) the provision to any Tag Along Seller or Drag Along Seller of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would furnish to investors in an offering made pursuant to Regulation D solely to “accredited investors”, the Prospective Selling Group shall be obligated only to use their reasonable efforts to cause the requirements under Regulation D to be complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Participating Seller to receive such securities, it being understood and agreed that the Prospective Selling Group shall not be under any obligation to effect a registration of such securities under the Securities Act or similar statutes. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 3, if use of reasonable efforts does not result in the requirements under Regulation D being complied with to the extent necessary to permit such Participating Seller to receive such securities, the Prospective Selling Group shall cause to be paid to such Participating Seller in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Management Shares (in accordance with Section 3.3.6 hereof) which would have otherwise been Sold by such Participating Seller to the Prospective Buyer in the Sale, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Management Shares as of the date of the issuance of securities in exchange for Shares. The obligation of the Prospective Selling Group to use reasonable efforts to cause such requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit a Participating Seller to receive such securities shall be conditioned on such Participating

-6-

Seller executing such documents and instruments, and taking such other actions (including without limitation if required by the Prospective Selling Group, agreeing to be represented during the course of such transaction by a “purchaser representative” (as defined in Regulation D) in connection with evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment and acknowledging that he was so represented), as the Prospective Selling Group shall reasonably request in order to permit such requirements to be complied with. Unless the Participating Seller in question shall have taken all actions reasonably requested by the Prospective Selling Investors in order to comply with the requirements under Regulation D, such Participating Seller shall not have the right to require the payment of cash in lieu of securities under this Section 3.3.1.

3.3.2. Further Assurances. Each Participating Seller, whether in his capacity as a Participating Seller, stockholder, officer or director of the Company, or otherwise, shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in order expeditiously to consummate each Sale pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 and any related transactions, including without limitation executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; furnishing information and copies of documents; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; and otherwise cooperating with the Prospective Selling Group and the Prospective Buyer; provided, however, that Participating Sellers shall be obligated to become liable in respect of any representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or otherwise to the Prospective Buyer solely to the extent provided in the immediately following sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Participating Seller agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably specified by the Prospective Selling Group to which such Prospective Selling Group will also be party, including without limitation agreements to (a) make individual representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements as to the unencumbered title to its Management Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Management Shares and the absence of any Adverse Claim with respect to such Management Shares and (b) be liable (whether by purchase price adjustment, indemnity payments or otherwise) in respect of representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in respect of the Company and its subsidiaries; provided, however, that, except with respect to individual representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements of Participating Sellers of the type described in clause (a) above, the aggregate amount of such liability shall not exceed either (i) such Participating Seller’s pro rata portion of any such liability, to be determined in accordance with such Participating Seller’s portion of the total number of Shares included in such Sale or (ii) the proceeds to such Participating Seller in connection with such Sale.

3.3.3. Sale Process. The Prospective Selling Group shall, in their sole discretion, decide whether or not to pursue, consummate, postpone or abandon any proposed Sale and the terms and conditions thereof. No Prospective Selling Group or any Affiliate of any member of the Prospective Selling Group shall have any liability to any holder of Management Shares arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed

-7-

Sale except to the extent such member of the Prospective Selling Group shall have failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.

3.3.4. Treatment of Options. If any Participating Seller shall Sell Options in any Sale pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2, such Participating Seller shall receive in exchange for such Options consideration equal to the amount (if greater than zero) determined by multiplying (a) the purchase price per share of Common Stock received by the holders of the Prospective Selling Group in such Sale less the exercise price per share of such Option by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Option (to the extent exercisable at the time of such Sale), subject to reduction for any tax or other amounts required to be withheld under applicable law.

3.3.5. Expenses. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Prospective Selling Group or the Company in connection with any proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 3 (whether or not consummated), including without limitation all attorneys fees and expenses, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, shall be paid by the Company. Any costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of any or all of the other Tag Along Sellers or Drag Along Sellers in connection with any proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 3 (whether or not consummated) shall be borne by such Tag Along Seller(s) or Drag Along Seller(s).

3.3.6. Closing. The closing of a Sale pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 shall take place at such time and place as the Prospective Selling Group shall specify by notice to each Participating Seller. At the closing of any Sale under this Section 3, each Participating Seller shall deliver the certificates evidencing the Management Shares to be Sold by such Participating Seller, duly endorsed, or with stock (or equivalent) powers duly endorsed, for transfer with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, with any stock (or equivalent) transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery of the applicable consideration.

3.4. Period. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3 shall expire on the earlier of (a) a Change of Control or (b) the closing of a Qualified Public Offering.

5. OPTIONS TO PURCHASE SHARES.

5.1. Call Options. Except as the Company may otherwise agree, upon any termination of the employment by the Company and its subsidiaries of any Manager, the Company shall have the right to purchase for cash or notes (as provided below in this Section 5.1) all or any portion of the Management Shares, held by such Manager or, if the Manager is not a Management Stockholder, the Management Stockholder whose name appears opposite the name of such Manager in Schedule 1 hereto or originally issued to either of such holders but held by one or more of their respective Permitted Transferees (collectively, the “Stockholder Call Group”) on the following terms:

5.1.1. Termination of Employment For Cause.

(a) If the employment of any Manager with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or its subsidiaries for Cause, then the Company may purchase all or any portion of the Management Shares held by such Manager’s Stockholder Call Group at a price equal to the lesser of the Cost or the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such termination.

-9-

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2, in each case Shares are purchased pursuant to clause (a) above, the Company will pay for such Management Shares in cash.

5.1.2. Other Termination of Employment.

(a) If the employment of any Manager with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated for any reason other than by the Company or its subsidiaries for Cause, then the Company may purchase all or any portion of the Management Shares held by such Manager’s Stockholder Call Group at a price equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such termination.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2, in each case Shares are purchased pursuant to clause (a) above, the Company will pay for such Management Shares in cash.

5.1.3. Treatment of Options. If any Management Shares to be Sold to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.1 are Options, the holder of such Management Shares shall receive in exchange for such Options consideration equal to the amount (if greater than zero) determined by multiplying (a) the purchase price per share of Common Stock determined as set forth in this Section 5.1 less the exercise price per share of such Option by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Option (to the extent exercisable at the time of such Sale), subject to reduction for any tax or other amounts required to be withheld under applicable law.

5.1.4. Notices, etc. Any Call Option may be exercised by delivery of written notice thereof (the “Call Notice”) to all members of the applicable Stockholder Call Group within 60 days of the effectiveness of the termination of employment in question (the “Call Option Exercise Period”).

5.2. Cash Payments. If any payment of cash required upon the purchase and sale of Management Shares to the Company upon the exercise of any Call Option or any payment on a promissory note issued under this Section 5.2 would (a) constitute, result in or give rise to any breach or violation of, or any default or right or cause of action under, any agreement to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is, from time to time, a party or (b) leave the Company and its subsidiaries with less cash than, in the good faith judgment of the Board, is necessary to operate the business of the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, then,

(i) in the case of a cash payment due at a closing of any purchase and sale of Management Shares to the Company upon the exercise of any Call Option, the Company will issue a promissory note of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of such payment, the principal amount of which note will be due and payable in four equal annual installments, the first such installment becoming due and payable on the first anniversary of the issuance of such note, and interest will accrue on such note from the date of issuance at a floating rate equal to the Revolving Loan Rate and be payable annually in arrears, in each case subject to the provisions of clause (ii) below, and

-10-

(ii) in the case of the cash payment in respect of a promissory note issued under this Section 5.2, notwithstanding any of the provisions of such note, including without limitation, the stated maturity of such note and the stated date on which interest payments are due, such payment will not become due and payable until such time as such payment can be made without violating any such agreement and not resulting in the Company and its subsidiaries having less cash than the Board determines is necessary to operate the business as contemplated above; provided, however, that the promissory note shall be payable in full upon a Change of Control.

Any promissory note issued under this Section 5.2 may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty.

5.3. Closing. The closing of any purchase and sale of Management Shares pursuant to this Section 5 shall take place as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than 30 days after termination of the applicable Call Option Exercise Period at the principal office of the Company, or at such other time and location as the parties to such purchase may mutually determine.

The delivery of a certificate or certificates for Shares by any Person selling Shares pursuant to any Call Option shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Person that: (a) such Person has full right, title and interest in and to such Shares, (b) such Person has all necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to sell such Shares as contemplated, (c) such Shares are free and clear of any and all liens or encumbrances and (d) there is no Adverse Claim with respect to such Shares.

Each holder of Management Shares acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly affiliated with the Company (in each case whether as a director, officer, manager, employee, agent or otherwise) shall have any duty or obligation to affirmatively disclose to him, and he shall not have any right to be advised

-11-

of, any material information regarding the Company or otherwise at any time prior to, upon, or in connection with any repurchase of the Management Shares upon the exercise of any Call Option.

5.5. Period. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5 shall expire upon the earlier of (a) a Change of Control and (b) the closing of the Qualified Public Offering.

6.2. Period. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall expire on the earlier of (a) a Change of Control or (b) the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

7. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company will perform and comply, and cause each of its subsidiaries to perform and comply, with such of the following provisions as are applicable to it. Each holder of Management Shares will perform and comply with such of the following provisions as are applicable to such holder.

7.1. General. Each time the Company proposes to register any shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act on a form which would permit registration of Registrable Management Shares for sale to the public, for its own account (or at any other time an Investor is participating in a registration of Investor Shares pursuant to demand or piggyback registration rights), for sale in a Public Offering, the Company will give notice to all holders of Registrable Management Securities of its intention to do so. Any such holder may, by written response delivered to the Company within 20 days after the effectiveness of such notice, request that all or a specified part of the Registrable Management Securities held by such holder be included in such registration. The Company thereupon will use its reasonable efforts to cause to be included in such registration under the Securities Act all shares of Common Stock which the Company has been so requested to register by such holders, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the methods to be used by the Company or other holders of shares of Common Stock in such Public Offering) of the Registrable Management Securities to be so registered.

-12-

7.2. Excluded Transactions. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration of Registrable Management Securities under this Section 7 incidental to the registration of any of its securities in connection with:

(a) Any Public Offering relating to employee benefit plans or dividend reinvestment plans or to any equity plan for franchisees or sale of equity to any franchisee (or Affiliate thereof);

(b) Any Public Offering relating to the acquisition or merger after the date hereof by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of or with any other businesses; or

(c) The Initial Public Offering unless (i) such offering shall have been initiated by the Investors pursuant to demand registration rights held by such Investors or (b) one or more Investors shall have requested that all or a specified part of its Investor Shares be included in such offering pursuant to piggyback registration rights.

7.3. Additional Procedures. Holders of Management Shares participating in any Public Offering pursuant to this Section 7 shall take all such actions and execute all such documents and instruments that are reasonably requested by the Company to effect the sale of their Management Shares in such Public Offering, including without limitation being parties to the underwriting agreement entered into by the Company and any other selling shareholders in connection therewith and being liable in respect of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements (including without limitation customary selling stockholder representations, warranties, indemnifications and “lock-up” agreements) for the benefit of the underwriters provided, however, that (a) with respect to individual representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements of sellers of Management Shares in such Public Offering, the aggregate amount of such liability shall not exceed such holder’s net proceeds from such offering and (b) to the extent selling stockholders give further representations, warranties and indemnities, then with respect to all other representations, warranties and indemnities of sellers of shares in such Public Offering, the aggregate amount of such liability shall not exceed the lesser of (i) such holder’s pro rata portion of any such liability, in accordance with such holder’s portion of the total number of Shares included in the offering or (ii) such holder’s net proceeds from such offering.

7.4. Certain Other Provisions.

7.4.1. Underwriter’s Cutback. In connection with any registration of shares, the underwriter may determine that marketing factors (including without limitation an adverse effect on the per share offering price) require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 7 and subject to the terms of this Section 7.4.1, the underwriter may limit the number of shares which would otherwise be included in such registration by excluding any or all Registrable Management Securities from such registration (it being understood that the number of shares which the Company seeks to have registered in such registration shall not be subject to exclusion, in whole or in part, under this Section 7.4.1). Upon receipt of notice

-13-

from the underwriter of the need to reduce the number of shares to be included in the registration, the Company shall advise all holders of the Company’s securities that would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of such securities, including Registrable Management Securities, that may be included in the registration shall be allocated in the following manner, unless the underwriter shall determine that marketing factors require a different allocation: shares, other than Registrable Management Securities, requested to be included in such registration by shareholders shall be excluded unless the Company has, with the consent of the Majority Investors, granted registration rights which are to be treated on an equal basis with Registrable Management Securities for the purpose of the exercise of the underwriter cutback; and, if a limitation on the number of shares is still required, the number of Registrable Management Securities and other shares of Common Stock that may be included in such registration shall be allocated among holders thereof in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Common Stock which each shareholder requested be registered in such registration. For purposes of any underwriter cutback, all Common Stock held by any holder of Registrable Management Securities which is a partnership or corporation shall also include any Common Stock held by the partners, retired partners, shareholders or affiliated entities of such holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons, and such holder and other persons shall be deemed to be a single selling holder, and any pro rata reduction with respect to such selling holder shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Common Stock owned by all entities and individuals included in such selling holder, as defined in this sentence. No securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. If any holder of Registrable Management Securities disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. The Registrable Management Securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration.

7.4.2. Other Actions. If and in each case when the Company is required to use its best efforts to effect a registration of any Registrable Management Securities as provided in this Section 7, the Company shall take appropriate and customary actions in furtherance thereof, including, without limitation: (a) promptly filing with the Commission a registration statement and using reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, (b) preparing and filing with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statements as may be required to comply with the Securities Act and to keep such registration statement effective for a period not to exceed 180 days from the date of effectiveness or such earlier time as the Registrable Management Securities covered by such registration statement shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method of distribution therefor or the expiration of the time when a prospectus relating to such registration is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, (c) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Management Securities under the state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers shall reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company

-14-

shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it would not otherwise be so subject, and (d) otherwise cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the holders of Registrable Management Securities in connection with, such registration.

7.4.3. Lock-Up. Without the prior written consent of the underwriters managing any Public Offering, for a period beginning seven days immediately preceding and ending on the 180th day following the effective date of the registration statement used in connection with such offering, no holder of Management Shares (whether or not a selling shareholder pursuant to such registration statement) shall (a) offer, pledge, 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, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such Common Stock or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of such Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Initial Public Offering or (ii) Transfers to a Permitted Transferee of such holder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (iii) conversions of shares of Common Stock into other classes of Common Stock without change of holder.

7.5. Indemnification and Contribution.

7.5.1. Indemnities of the Company. In the event of any registration of any Registrable Management Securities or other debt or equity securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 7 or otherwise, and in connection with any registration statement or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries including without limitation reports required and other documents filed under the Exchange Act and other documents pursuant to which any debt or equity securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are sold (whether or not for the account of the Company or its subsidiaries), the Company will, and hereby does, and will cause each of its subsidiaries, jointly and severally to, indemnify and hold harmless each seller of Registrable Management Securities, any Person who is or might be deemed to be a controlling Person of the Company or any of its subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, their respective direct and indirect partners, advisory board members, directors, officers, trustees, members and shareholders, and each other Person, if any, who controls any such seller or any such holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such person being referred to herein as a “Covered Person”), against any losses, claims, damages or

-15-

liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Covered Person may be or become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other securities or other law of any jurisdiction, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any registration statement under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any related summary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any other such disclosure document (including without limitation reports and other documents filed under the Exchange Act and any document incorporated by reference therein) or other document or report, (b) 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 or (c) any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or other document or report, and will reimburse such Covered Person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall be liable to any Covered Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other such disclosure document or other document or report, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or to any of its subsidiaries through an instrument duly executed by such Covered Person specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof. The indemnities of the Company and of its subsidiaries contained in this Section 7.5.1 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Covered Person and shall survive any transfer of securities.

7.5.2. Indemnities to the Company. The Company and any of its subsidiaries may require, as a condition to including any securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 7, that the Company and any of its subsidiaries shall have received an undertaking satisfactory to it from the prospective seller of such securities, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and any of its subsidiaries, each director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, each officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who shall sign such registration statement, each other Person (other than such seller), if any, who controls the Company and any of its subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each other prospective seller of such securities with respect to any statement in or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus included therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any other disclosure document (including without limitation reports and other documents

-16-

filed under the Exchange Act or any document incorporated therein) or other document or report, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or any of its subsidiaries through an instrument executed by such seller specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other document or report. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any such director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive any transfer of securities.

7.5.3. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 7.5.1 or 7.5.2 hereof is unavailable to a party that would have been entitled to indemnification pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.5 (an “Indemnitee”) under any such Section in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each party that would have been an indemnifying party thereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnifying party on the one hand and such Indemnitee on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof). 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 such indemnifying party or such Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.5.3 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentence. The amount paid or payable by a contributing party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 7.5.3 shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

7.5.4. Limitation on Liability of Holders of Registrable Management Securities. The liability of each holder of Registrable Management Securities in respect of any indemnification or contribution obligation of such holder arising under this Section 7.5 shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds to such holder (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions) from the disposition of the Registrable Management Securities disposed of by such holder pursuant to such registration.
