This CONTRIBUTION AND SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 21, 2003, is entered into by and between Xxxxxxx Xxxx, an individual (the “Investor”), and VBR Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

In connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated contemporaneously herewith (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Varsity, the Company and VB Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub shall merge with and into Varsity, with Varsity as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”);

For United States federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the contribution of the Rollover Shares to the Company in exchange for newly issued shares of capital stock of the Company, taken together with (a) the contribution of securities and/or cash by other investors to the Company in exchange for Shares, and (b) the contribution by an affiliate of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Partners, L.P. of cash to the Company in exchange for newly issued Shares and shares of preferred stock of the Company, will qualify as a transaction described in Section 351(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and
