designed by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, or under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the

(xxiii) Environmental Compliance. The Company and the Subsidiaries (A) are in
compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and

pollutants or contaminants, except where such noncompliance or deviation from that

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.

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.

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
8
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 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

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,

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

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

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.

determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Shares to be sold by the Company and each of the

eliminate fractional shares) determined by multiplying such number of Optional Shares by a fraction
the numerator of which is the maximum number of Optional Shares which such Underwriter is entitled
to purchase as set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto and the
denominator of which is the
13
maximum number of Optional Shares that all of the Underwriters are entitled to purchase

9. 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 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.
23
(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 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
24
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 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
25
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. Underwriter Default. (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
26
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 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 12
hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein
shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
11. 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.
12. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section
10 hereof, neither the Company nor the Selling Stockholders shall then be under any liability to
any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 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 and 9
hereof.
13. 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

Selling Stockholder at its address set forth in Schedule IIA hereto; and if to the Company
shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company

to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 9(d) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters’
Questionnaire or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the
Company or the Selling Stockholders by you on request; provided, however, that notices under
Section 5(e) 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 at Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., 000 Xxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000, Attention: Control Room and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, 000

if to any stockholder subject to the Lock-Up Period pursuant to the lock-up letters described in
Section 8(o) shall be delivered or sent by mail to the address indicated in such lock-up letter.
Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.
In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56
(signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may
include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will
allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
14. 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 and 11 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 shall be
deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
15. Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used
herein, the term “business day” shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in
Washington, D.C. is open for business.
16. 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
28
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.
17. 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.
18. 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 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.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
29
Any person executing and delivering this Agreement as Attorney-in-Fact for a Selling

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.

(ii) The Company has an authorized and outstanding capitalization as set forth in the
Prospectus under the captions “Capitalization” and “Description of Capital Stock,” and all of the
issued shares of capital stock of the Company (including the Shares to be sold by the Selling
Stockholders) have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid and non assessable; the
Shares to be sold by the Company have been duly authorized and, when issued, delivered and paid for
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non
assessable; and the Shares conform as to legal matters to the description thereof contained in the
Prospectus;
(iii) Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has been duly qualified as a foreign
corporation for the transaction of business and is in good standing under the laws of each
jurisdiction set forth on Annex A attached to such legal opinion;
(iv) All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are owned,

financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware naming the Company
as debtor is on file in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, (B) in
respect of which a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Indiana
naming Spec Rent as debtor is on file in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of
Indiana or (C) otherwise known to such counsel, without independent investigation, except Liens
under the Credit Agreement. Such counsel is entitled to rely in respect of the opinion in this
paragraph (iv) in respect of matters of fact upon certificates of officers of the Company or the
Subsidiaries, provided that such counsel shall state that they believe that both you and they are
justified in relying upon such certificates;
(v) To such counsel’s knowledge, and other than as set forth in the Prospectus, (A) there are
no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or either Subsidiary is a party
or by which any property of the Company or either Subsidiary is the subject that are required to be
described in the Prospectus and are not so described and (B) there are no agreements, contracts,
indentures, leases or other instruments that are required to be described in the Prospectus or to
be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that are not described or filed as required by
the Act;
(vi) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company;
(vii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the
Subsidiaries and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (A)
conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, any agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or
listed on a schedule to such opinion, (B) result in any violation of the provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or either Subsidiary, (C) result in any
violation of provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the applicable laws of the State
of Texas, the State of New York or federal law, or (D) result in a violation of any judgment,
order, decree or injunction known to such counsel of any federal or Delaware, Texas or New York
court or
governmental agency or authority having jurisdiction over the Company or the Subsidiaries or
any of their properties or assets, except for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults, in
the case of clause (A), as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or a
material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions provided for
in the Underwriting Agreement; provided, however, that such counsel may state that it express no
opinion pursuant to this paragraph (vii) with respect to state securities laws and other anti-fraud
laws (including the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws);
(viii) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with
any U.S. federal, Delaware, Texas or New York court or governmental agency or body is required for
the issue and sale of the Shares by the Company to the Underwriters or the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, except such consents, approvals,
authorizations, orders, registrations or qualifications (A) that are required for registration of
such Shares under the Act and filings required under the Exchange Act, (B) as may be required under
state securities or “Blue Sky” laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of such Shares
(as to which counsel need not express any opinion), (C) that have been obtained or made or (D) as
disclosed in the Prospectus;
(ix) The statements set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital
Stock,” insofar as they purport to constitute a summary of the terms of the Common Stock, are
accurate in all material respects, the statements under the captions “Certain U.S. Federal Income
Tax Considerations for Non-United States Holders,” “Business—Government Regulations,”
“Business—Environmental Matters,” “Certain Relationship and Related Party Transactions,” and
“Shares Eligible for Future Sale,” and the description of this Agreement and the lock-up
agreements in the form attached as Annex I hereto under the caption “Underwriting
(Conflicts of Interest),” insofar as such statements constitute descriptions of agreements or refer
to statements of law or legal conclusions, are accurate in all material respects;
(x) The Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares to be
sold by the Company to the Underwriters in accordance with this Agreement, and application of the
net proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds,” will not
be required to register as an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment
Company Act;
(xi) Except for preemptive rights identified or described in the Prospectus, there are no
outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase,
nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of, any equity securities of the Company, in each
case pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any agreement or
instrument filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; except as described in the Pricing
Prospectus, neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Shares
as contemplated by this Agreement gives rise to any rights of any person for or relating to the
registration of any Shares or other securities of the Company pursuant to any agreements or
instruments filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement that have not been complied with or
waived;
(xii) The Registration Statement was declared effective under the Act on July 28, 2011. In
addition, such counsel has been orally advised by the Commission that no stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued. To such counsel’s knowledge, based
solely upon such oral communication with the Commission, no proceedings for that purpose have been
instituted or threatened by the Commission. Any required filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule
424(b) under the Act has been made in the manner and within the time period required by such Rule;
and
(xiii) The Registration Statement, at the time it was declared effective, the Pricing
Prospectus, as of the Applicable Time, and the Prospectus, when filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) under the Act and at each Time of Delivery, [and any further amendments and
supplements thereto made by the Company prior to such Time of Delivery] (other than the financial
statements, the related notes and schedules therein and any other financial data included in or
omitted from the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or Prospectus, as to which such
counsel need express no opinion), appear on their face to comply as to form in all material
respects with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Although they have not independently verified, are not passing on and do not assume any
responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the
Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package (defined below) or the Prospectus, except
for those referred to in the opinion in subsection (ix), no facts have come to such counsel’s
attention to lead such counsel to believe that (a) the Registration Statement, as of its latest
effective date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b)
the Pricing Prospectus, as supplemented by each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule
III, if any, taken together with the price to the public and the number of Shares underwritten (the
“Pricing Disclosure Package”), as of the Applicable Time, included an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (c) the
Prospectus, as of its date and as of such Time of Delivery, included or includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; it being understood that such counsel need not make any statement or express any belief
with respect to (i) the financial statements and related schedules, including the notes and
schedules thereto and the auditor’s report thereon, included in or omitted from the Registration
Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, or (ii) any other financial or
accounting information included in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
ANNEX III
Opinion of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx
(i) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the
Subsidiaries and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not
conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other
agreement or instrument to which the Company or either Subsidiary is a party or by which the
Company or either Subsidiary is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or
either Subsidiary is subject, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect or a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions
provided for in the Underwriting Agreement; and
(ii) Neither the Company nor either Subsidiary is (A) in violation of its Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, in each case as amended to date, or (B) in default in the performance or
observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any indenture,

party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, except in the case of clause (B) for
such defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a

(i) A Power-of-Attorney and Custody Agreement have been duly authorized by each Selling
Stockholder that is an entity organized or formed in a U.S. jurisdiction (together with individuals
who are U.S. citizens or residents, a “U.S. Selling Stockholder”) and duly executed and delivered

U.S. Selling Stockholder or the property of such U.S. Selling Stockholder, except in the case of

obligations under this Agreement, the Power of Attorney and the Custody Agreement;
(iv) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body
is necessary to be obtained for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this

In rendering the opinion in paragraph (iv), such counsel may rely upon a certificate of such
Selling Stockholder in respect of matters of fact as to ownership of, and Liens, on, the Shares
sold by such
Selling Stockholder, provided that such counsel shall state that they believe that both you
and such counsel are justified in relying upon such certificate;

provisions of this Agreement, the Power of Attorney and the Custody Agreement and the consummation
of the transactions therein contemplated will not (a) result in any violation of the provisions of
