THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 18,
2009 by and among Brickell Bay Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and [_________] (the “Exchanger”). Certain definitions are set forth in Section 5
of this Agreement. Subject to Section 8 hereof, this Agreement shall become effective (the
“Effective Date”) upon the Closing Date as defined in the Merger Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Company has entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
“Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 18, 2009, by and among the Company, Brickell Bay
Merger Corp. and Allion Healthcare, Inc. (“Allion”).
WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the
Exchanger desires to exchange shares of [Allion]’s Common Stock (as such term is defined in the
Merger Agreement) as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Exchange Shares”)
having a per share purchase price for each such security as set forth on Exhibit A attached
hereto (the aggregate purchase price for the shares of [Allion]’s Common Stock to be exchanged by
the Exchanger shall be referred to herein as the “Rollover Amount”).
WHEREAS, the Exchanger believes that it is in his best interests to enter into this Agreement
and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Acquisition of Rollover Stock.
(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement),
the Exchanger shall surrender to the Company the Exchanger’s Exchange Shares (and the
certificate(s) representing such Exchange Shares accompanied by duly executed stock powers), free
and clear of all Liens (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and, simultaneously with such
surrender, the Company shall issue to the Exchanger a certain number of shares of the Company’s
Senior Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Senior Preferred Stock”), Junior
Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Junior Preferred Stock,” and together with
the Senior Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) and Common Stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the “Common Stock,” and together with the Preferred Stock, with respect to the
Exchanger, the Exchanger’s “Rollover Stock”), as set forth opposite the Exchanger’s name on
Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Exchange”). Such Rollover Stock issued to the
Exchanger shall have an aggregate value equal to the Rollover Amount.
(b) In connection with the acquisition of the Rollover Stock hereunder, and the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other agreements to which the Exchanger is a
party (collectively, the “Documents”), the Exchanger represents and warrants to the Company
that:
(i) The Exchanger is acquiring the Rollover Stock for investment for his own account,
not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution thereof. The Exchanger understands that the Rollover Stock has not been, and
will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the
registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among
other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy
of the Exchanger’s representations as expressed herein. [The Exchanger is an “accredited
investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.]
(ii) The Exchanger has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Rollover Stock and has had full
access to such other information concerning the Company as he has requested.
(iii) The Exchanger has had the opportunity to consult his own tax advisors with
respect to the tax consequences to himself of the purchase, receipt or ownership of the
Rollover Stock, including the tax consequences under federal, state, local, and other income
tax laws of the United States or any other country and the possible effects of changes in
such tax laws. The Exchanger acknowledges that none of the Company, its subsidiaries,
affiliates, successors, beneficiaries, heirs and assigns and its and their past and present
directors, officers, employees, and agents (including, without limitation, their attorneys)
makes or has made any representations or warranties to the Exchanger regarding the tax
consequences to the Exchanger of the purchase, receipt or ownership of the Rollover Stock,
including the tax consequences under federal, state, local and other tax laws of the United
States or any other country and the possible effects of changes in such tax laws.
(iv) The Exchanger is the legal and beneficial owner of the Exchange Shares as set
forth opposite his or her name on Exhibit A attached hereto, free and clear of any
Liens (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
(v) This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Exchanger, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited
by principles of public policy, applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights and remedies generally or general principles of equity (regardless of
whether considered and applied in a proceeding at law or in equity)), and the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Exchanger does not and will not conflict
with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which the
Exchanger is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which the Exchanger is subject.
(vi) The Exchanger is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the
risks and benefits of the investment in the Rollover Stock.
(vii) The Exchanger acknowledges that none of the Company or any of its officers,
directors, representatives or affiliates has given the Exchanger any investment
2
advice, credit information, or opinion on whether the exchange of the Exchange Shares
for the Rollover Stock is prudent. The Exchanger has not relied on the Company to furnish
or make available any documents or other information regarding the credit, affairs,
financial condition or business of the Company, or any other matter concerning the Company.
Except as set forth herein, the Company acknowledges none of the Company or any of its
officers, directors, representatives or affiliates has made any representation or warranty
to the Exchanger.
(viii) The Exchanger acknowledges and agrees that there may be additional issuances of
shares of Preferred Stock, Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company after the
date hereof and the Preferred Stock and Common Stock equity interest of the Exchanger may be
diluted pro rata in connection with any such issuance.
(ix) The Exchanger is a resident of the State of [_________].
(c) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Rollover Stock to the Exchanger, and as a
condition thereto, the Exchanger acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the Rollover
Stock to the Exchanger nor any provision contained herein shall entitle the Exchanger to remain in
the employment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company or any
such Subsidiary to terminate such the Exchanger’s employment at any time for any reason.
(d) Upon execution of this Agreement by the Exchanger, the Exchanger’s spouse shall execute
the Consent in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto.
2. Restrictions on Transfer of Rollover Stock.
(a) Transfer of Rollover Stock. The holders of Rollover Stock shall not Transfer any
interest in any shares of Rollover Stock, except pursuant to (i) the provisions of Sections 6 and
8(c) of the Stockholders Agreement or (ii) an Approved Sale (as defined in Section 4 of the
Stockholders Agreement).
(b) Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions set forth in this Section 2
will continue with respect to each share of Rollover Stock (and will survive any Transfer thereof)
until the earlier of (i) the Company’s initial Public Offering or (ii) the date on which such
Rollover Stock has been Transferred in a transaction pursuant to any of clauses (i) through
(ii) of Section 2(a) (provided that any transfer restrictions set forth in the
Stockholders Agreement shall continue to apply to such Transferred shares of Rollover Stock to the
extent set forth in the Stockholders Agreement).
3. Additional Restrictions on Transfer of Rollover Stock.
(a) Legend. The certificates representing the Rollover Stock will bear a legend in
substantially the following form:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED AS OF
[_________], 2009, HAVE NOT BEEN
3
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”),
AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT
TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS SET
FORTH IN AN EXCHANGE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND A STOCKHOLDER OF THE
COMPANY DATED AS OF [_________], 2009. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENTS MAY BE
OBTAINED BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS
WITHOUT CHARGE.”
(b) Opinion of Counsel. No holder of Rollover Stock may Transfer any Rollover Stock
(except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) without first
delivering to the Company a written notice describing in reasonable detail the proposed Transfer,
together with an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Company)
that neither registration nor qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws is required in connection with such transfer. In addition, if the holder of the
Rollover Stock delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel that no subsequent Transfer of such
Rollover Stock shall require registration under the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly upon
such contemplated Transfer deliver new certificates for such Rollover Stock that do not bear the
Securities Act portion of the legend set forth in Section 3(a). If the Company is not
required to deliver new certificates for such Rollover Stock not bearing such legend, the holder
thereof shall not Transfer the same until the prospective transferee has confirmed to the Company
in writing its agreement to be bound by the conditions contained in this Section 3.
4. Representations and Warranties of the Company. As a material inducement to the
Exchanger to enter into this Agreement and acquire the Rollover Stock, the Company hereby
represents and warrants to the Exchanger that:
(a) Organization and Corporate Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and is qualified to do business in
every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify might reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results, assets, operations or
business prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Company has all
requisite corporate power and authority and all material licenses, permits and authorizations
necessary to own and operate its properties, to carry on its businesses as now conducted and
presently proposed to be conducted and to carry out the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. The copies of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws which have been
furnished to the Exchanger’s counsel reflect all amendments made thereto at any time prior to the
date of this Agreement and are correct and complete.
4
(b) Capital Stock and Related Matters.
(i) As of the Closing (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), the Company
shall not have outstanding any stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for any
shares of its capital stock or containing any profit participation features, nor shall it
have outstanding any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase its capital stock or
any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for its capital stock or any stock
appreciation rights or phantom stock plans other than pursuant to and as contemplated by
this Agreement, the other Exchange Agreements (as such term is defined in the Stockholders
Agreement), the Purchase Agreement, the Management Purchase Agreements (as such term is
defined in the Stockholders Agreement) and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. As

warrants, options or other rights to acquire its capital stock, except pursuant to this
Agreement, the other Exchange Agreements (as such term is defined in the Stockholders
Agreement), the Purchase Agreement, the Management Purchase Agreements (as such term is
defined in the Stockholders Agreement) and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. As
of the Closing, all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock shall be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(ii) There are no statutory or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, contractual
stockholders preemptive rights or rights of refusal with respect to the issuance of the
Rollover Stock hereunder, except as expressly contemplated in the Stockholders Agreement or
provided in the Purchase Agreement. Based in part on the investment representations of the
Investor in Section [___] of the Purchase Agreement and of the Exchanger in Section
1(c) hereof, the Company has not violated any applicable federal or state securities
laws in connection with the offer, sale or issuance of any of its capital stock, and the
offer, sale and issuance of the Rollover Stock hereunder do not and will not require
registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. To the best
of the Company’s knowledge, there are no agreements between the Company’s stockholders with
respect to the voting or transfer of the Company’s capital stock or with respect to any
other aspect of the Company’s affairs, except for this Agreement, the other Exchange
Agreements (as such term is defined in the Stockholders Agreement), the Stockholders
Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Management Purchase Agreements (as such term is
defined in the Stockholders Agreement) and the Registration Agreement.

(c) Authorization; No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents to which the Company is a party have been duly authorized by the Company. Each
Transaction Document and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms. The execution and delivery by
the Company of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party, the offering, sale and

terms hereof and thereof by the Company do not and will not (a)
conflict with or result in a material breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (b)

prepare and file all tax returns in a manner consistent with such treatment, including filing the
statements required by Treasury Regulation §1.351-3 with his, her or its federal income tax return
filed for the taxable year in which includes the date of the Closing (as such term is defined in
the Merger Agreement).

change any of the parties rights or obligations under the Merger Agreement, including, without
limitation, the Exchangers’ indemnification obligations hereunder, under the Merger Agreement or
under any other agreements pursuant to which they are a party. For purposes of clarity, the

respect to the Company Stock, which include the Exchange Shares.
(c) Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any
Rollover Stock in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company shall
not record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Rollover Stock as
the owner of such stock for any purpose.
(d) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any
applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will
not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed,
construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision
had never been contained herein.
(e) Complete Agreement. This Agreement, those documents expressly referred to herein
and other documents of even date herewith executed in connection with the Purchase Agreement embody
the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior
understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may
have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.
(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (including
by means of facsimile), each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together
constitute one and the same agreement. Any counterpart may be executed by facsimile signature and
such facsimile signature shall be deemed an original.
(g) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall
bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Exchanger, the Company, the Investor and
their respective successors and assigns (including subsequent holders of Rollover Stock);
provided that the rights and obligations of the Exchanger under this Agreement shall not be
assignable except in connection with a permitted transfer of Rollover Stock hereunder.

concerning the relative rights of the Company and its stockholders. All other questions concerning
the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement and the exhibits hereto will be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without
giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of
Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
(i) Remedies. Each of the parties to this Agreement (and the Investor as a
third-party beneficiary) will be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically,
to recover damages and costs (including attorney’s fees) caused by any breach of any provision of
this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor. The parties hereto agree
and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions
of this Agreement and that any party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of
10
law or equity
of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific performance and/or
other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this
Agreement.

induced to agree to and execute this Agreement by any statement, act or representation of any kind
or character by anyone, except as contained herein. The Exchanger further represents that he has
fully reviewed this Agreement and has full knowledge of its terms, and executes this Agreement of
his or her own choice and free will, after having received the advice of his attorney(s).

expires on a day which is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday in the state in which the Company’s chief
executive office is located, the time period shall be automatically extended to the business day
immediately following such Saturday, Sunday or holiday.

this Agreement to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid imposition of any additional tax or
income recognition prior to actual payment to the Exchanger under Code §409A and any temporary or
final treasury regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, but only to the extent
such amendment would not (and could not) have an adverse effect on the Company and would not
provide the Exchanger with any additional rights, in each case as determined by the Company in its
sole discretion.
(n) Adjustments of Numbers. All numbers set forth herein that refer to share prices
or amounts will be appropriately adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of
shares and other recapitalizations affecting the subject class of stock.
