For purposes of this Section 3.3, “Relative Ownership Percentage” means:

(a) with respect to the Shares held by such Manager, a fraction (expressed as a percentage), (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares owned by such Manager immediately following the Determination Time and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares purchased by or issued to such Manager, and

(b) with respect to the Shares held by the Investors, a fraction (expressed as a percentage), (A) the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Shares owned by the Investors immediately following the Determination Time and (B) the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Shares purchased by or issued to the Investors.

3.3.1 Following the Initial Public Offering, any Investor or Manager Transferring Shares shall notify the Company following the consummation of such Transfer of the number of Shares Transferred. Any Manager wishing to Transfer Shares pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be entitled to obtain prior to such Transfer, and rely upon, a statement from the Company, of the number of Shares that such Manager may Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.3.

Any Shares Transferred to the Investors pursuant to Section 5 shall conclusively be deemed thereafter to be Investor Shares and Registrable Securities under this Agreement and shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefit of, the provisions hereto.

4. INVESTOR TRANSFER RIGHTS; “TAG ALONG” AND “DRAG ALONG” RIGHTS.

4.1. Tag Along. If one or more holders of Investor Shares (each such holder, a “Prospective Selling Investor”) proposes to Transfer any such Shares to any Prospective Buyer in a transaction subject to Section 3.2(a)(i), then as required by Section 3.2(a)(i):

4.1.1 Notice. The Prospective Selling Investors shall deliver a written notice (the “Tag Along Notice”) to each other holder of Shares (each, a “Tag Along Holder”) at least ten business days prior to such proposed Transfer. The Tag Along Notice shall include:

(a) The principal terms of the proposed Sale insofar as it relates to such Shares, including (i) the number and class of the Shares to be purchased from the Prospective Selling Investors, (ii) with respect to each class of Shares to be purchased from the Prospective Selling Investors, the fraction(s) expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of Shares of such class to be purchased from the Prospective Selling Investors by the total number of Investor Shares of such class purchased by the Investors (the “Tag Along Sale Percentage”), (iii) the maximum and minimum per share purchase price and (iv) 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 applicable Prospective Buyer an additional number of Shares of the applicable class held by such Tag Along Holder (not in any event to exceed in the case of a Tag Along Holder and all of his Permitted Transferees the Tag Along Sale Percentage of the total number of Shares of the applicable class purchased by such Tag Along Holder), on the same terms and conditions (subject to Section 4.3.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities), with respect to each Share Sold, as the Prospective Selling Investors shall Sell each of their Shares.

- 5 -

4.1.2 Exercise. Within ten business days after the effectiveness of the Tag Along Notice, each Tag Along Holder desiring to make an offer to include issued and outstanding Shares in the proposed Sale (each a “Participating Seller” and, together with the Prospective Selling Investors, collectively, the “Tag Along Sellers”) shall furnish a written notice (the “Tag Along Offer”) to the Prospective Selling Investors offering to include an additional number of Shares of the applicable class (not in any event to exceed the Tag Along Sale Percentage of the total number of Shares of the applicable class purchased 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 Investors’ invitation to make an offer to include Shares in the proposed Sale shall be deemed to have waived all of his rights with respect to such 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 Holder.

4.1.3 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 Share Sold (subject to Section 4.3.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities), as the Prospective Selling Investors, up to such number of 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 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.

4.1.4 Reduction of Shares Sold. The Prospective Selling Investors shall attempt to obtain the inclusion in the proposed Sale of the entire number of Shares which each of the Tag Along Sellers requested to have included in the Sale (as evidenced in the case of the Prospective Selling Investors 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 Investors shall be unable to obtain the inclusion of such entire number of Shares in the proposed Sale, the number of Shares of each class to be sold in the proposed Sale shall be allocated among the Tag Along Sellers in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of Shares of such class purchased by each Tag Along Seller.

4.1.5 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

- 6 -

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 4.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4.1; provided, however, that in the case of such a separate Tag Along Notice, the applicable period to which reference is made in Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 shall be five business days and (b) the Prospective Selling Investors 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 4.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4.1, unless the failure to complete such proposed Sale resulted from any failure by any Participating Seller to comply with the terms of this Section 4.

4.2. Drag Along. Each holder of Shares of a class hereby agrees, if requested by the Majority Investors, to Sell the same percentage (the “Drag Along Sale Percentage”) of such Shares, directly or indirectly, to a Prospective Buyer in the manner and on the terms set forth in this Section 4.2 in connection with the Sale by one or more holders of Investor Shares (each such holder, a “Prospective Selling Investor”) of the Drag Along Sale Percentage of the total number of Investor Shares of a class held by all holders of Investor Shares to the Prospective Buyer.

4.2.1 Exercise. If the Majority Investors elect to exercise their rights under this Section 4.2, the Prospective Selling Investors shall furnish a written notice (the “Drag Along Notice”) to each other holder of Shares. The Drag Along Notice shall set forth the principal terms of the proposed Sale insofar as it relates to such Shares including (i) the number and class of Shares to be acquired from the Prospective Selling Investors, (ii) the Drag Along Sale Percentage applicable to such class, (iii) the per share consideration applicable to such class to be received in the proposed Sale of shares of a class and (iv) the name and address of the Prospective Buyer. If the Prospective Selling Investors consummate the proposed Sale to which reference is made in the Drag Along Notice, each other holder of Shares (each a “Participating Seller”, and, together with the Prospective Selling Investors, collectively, the “Drag Along Sellers”) shall be bound and obligated to Sell the Drag Along Sale Percentage of his Shares of such class in the proposed Sale on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each Share Sold (subject to Section 4.3.4 in the case of Options and Warrants), as the Prospective Selling Investors shall Sell each Investor Share of such class in the Sale (subject to Section 4.3.4 in the case of Options and Warrants). If at the end of the 180th day following the date of the effectiveness of the Drag Along Notice the Prospective Selling Investors have not completed the proposed Sale, the Drag Along Notice shall be null and void, each Participating Seller shall be released from his obligation under the Drag Along Notice and it shall be necessary for a separate Drag Along Notice to be furnished and the terms and provisions of this Section 4.2 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4.2.

- 7 -

4.3. Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall be applied to any proposed Sale to which Section 4.1 or 4.2 applies:

4.3.1 Certain Legal Requirements. In the event the consideration to be paid in exchange for Shares in a proposed Sale pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 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 regarding the Company, such securities or the issuer thereof, such Participating Seller shall not have the right to Sell Shares in such proposed Sale. In such event, the Prospective Selling Investors shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause to be paid to such Participating Seller in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Shares (in accordance with Section 4.3.6 hereof) which would have otherwise been Sold by such Participating Seller to the Prospective Buyer in the proposed Sale, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date such securities would have been issued in exchange for such Shares.

4.3.2 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 4.1 or Section 4.2 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 Investors 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 and provided, further, that no holder of Management Incentive Shares shall be obligated to cast votes in respect of such Management Incentive Shares in connection with any such transaction. 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 Investors to which such Prospective Selling Investors will also be party, including, without limitation, agreements to (a) (i) make individual representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements as to the unencumbered title to its Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Shares and the absence of any Adverse Claim with respect to such Shares and (ii) be liable without limitation as to such representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements 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 the aggregate amount of liability described in this clause (b) in connection with any Sale of Shares shall not exceed the lesser of (i) such Participating Seller’s pro rata portion of

- 8 -

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.

4.3.3 Sale Process. The Investors 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 Investor or any Affiliate of any Investor shall have any liability to any other holder of Shares arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Sale except to the extent such Investor shall have failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.

4.3.4 Treatment of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities. Each Participating Seller agrees that to the extent he desires to include Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities in any Sale of Shares pursuant to Section 4, he shall be deemed to have exercised, converted or exchanged such Options, Warrants or Convertible Security immediately prior to the closing of such Sale to the extent necessary to Sell Common Stock to the Prospective Buyer, except to the extent permitted under the terms of any such Option, Warrant or Convertible Security and agreed by the Prospective Buyer. If any Participating Seller shall Sell Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities in any Sale pursuant to Section 4, such Participating Seller shall receive in exchange for such Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities 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 Investors in such Sale less the exercise price, if any, per share of such Option, Warrant or Convertible Security by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Option, Warrant or Convertible Security (to the extent exercisable, convertible or exchangeable at the time of such Sale), subject to reduction for any tax or other amounts required to be withheld under applicable law.

4.3.5 Expenses. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Prospective Selling Investors or the Company in connection with any proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4 (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. The reasonable fees and expenses of a single legal counsel representing any or all of the other Tag Along Sellers or Drag Along Sellers in connection with any proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4 (whether or not consummated) shall be paid by the Company. Any other costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of any or all of the other Tag Along Seller(s) or Drag Along Seller(s) in connection with any proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 4 (whether or not consummated) shall be borne by such Tag Along Seller(s) or Drag Along Seller(s).

4.3.6 Closing. The closing of a Sale to which Section 4.1 or 4.2 applies shall take place at such time and place as the Prospective Selling Investors shall specify by notice to each Participating Seller. At the closing of such Sale, each Participating Seller shall

- 9 -

deliver the certificates evidencing the 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.

4.4. Period. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4 shall expire on the earlier of (a) a Change of Control or (b) the closing of a Qualified Public Offering.

5. OPTIONS TO PURCHASE MANAGEMENT SHARES.

5.1. Call Options. Except as the Company may otherwise agree in writing with any Manager with respect to Shares held by such Manager or originally issued to such Manager but held by one or more direct or indirect Permitted Transferees (collectively, the “Management Call Group”), upon any termination of the employment by the Company and its subsidiaries of any Manager (by the Company, such Manager or otherwise), the Company shall have the right to purchase for cash all or any portion of the Management Shares held by the Management Call Group on the following terms (the “Management Call Option”):

5.1.1 Rollover Option Shares. The Company may purchase all or any portion of the Rollover Option Shares held by such Manager (or his direct or indirect Permitted Transferees, if applicable) at a per share price equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as determined in Section 5.1.3.

5.1.2 Other. For all Purchased Management Shares which are not Rollover Option Shares, the following terms shall apply:

(a) Termination for Cause. If such termination is the result of termination of such holder’s employment by the Company or its subsidiary for Cause, then the Company may purchase all or any portion of the Purchased Management Shares held by such Manager (or his direct or indirect Permitted Transferees, if applicable) at a per Share price equal to the lesser of the Cost or the Fair Market Value of such Shares as determined in Section 5.1.3, provided, however, that the portion of such Shares as is required by California Corporations Code Regulations 260.140.4(k)(2) and 260.140.42(h)(2) to be repurchased at Fair Market Value, may only be repurchased at the Fair Market Value of such Shares as determined as of the date of the effectiveness of the applicable termination of employment.

(b) Death or Disability. If such termination is the result of the death or disability of such Manager, then the Company may purchase all or any portion of the Purchased Management Shares held by such Manager (or his direct or indirect Permitted Transferees, if applicable) at a per Share price equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as determined in Section 5.1.3.

(c) Termination by Manager. If such termination is the result of termination by a Manager (but not by the Company) other than by reason of the Manager’s death or disability and other than in circumstances where the Company or its subsidiaries

- 10 -

would have grounds to terminate such Manager for Cause, then the Company may purchase all or any portion of the Purchased Management Shares held by such Manager (or his direct or indirect Permitted Transferees, if applicable) at a per Share price equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as determined in Section 5.1.3.

(d) Termination by the Company Not for Cause. If such termination is the result of termination by the Company and such termination is not for Cause, then the Company may purchase all or any portion of the Purchased Management Shares held by such Manager (or his direct or indirect Permitted Transferees, if applicable) at a per Share price equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as determined in Section 5.1.3, but the Company may not purchase any of the Management Incentive Shares held by such Manager.

5.1.3 Determination Date.

6.1.2 Exercise.

(a) General. Each Participation Offeree desiring to accept the offer contained in the Participation Notice shall send a written commitment to the Company within fifteen days after the effectiveness of the Participation Notice specifying the amount of Subject Securities (not in any event to exceed the Participation Portion of the total amount of Subject Securities to be included in the Issuance) which such Participation Offeree desires to be issued (each a “Participating Buyer”).

If, prior to consummation, the terms of such proposed Issuance shall change with the result that the price shall be less than the minimum price set forth in the Participation Notice or the other principal terms shall be substantially more favorable to the Prospective Subscriber than those set forth in the Participation Notice, it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 6.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Issuance pursuant to this Section 6.1.

6.1.3 Other Securities. The Company may condition the participation of the Participation Offerees in an Issuance upon the purchase by such Participation Offerees of any securities (including, without limitation, debt securities) other than Subject Securities (“Other Securities”) in the event that the participation of the Prospective Subscriber in such Issuance is so conditioned. In such case, each Participating Buyer shall acquire in the Issuance, together with the Subject Securities to be acquired by it, Other Securities in the same proportion to the Subject Securities to be acquired by it as the proportion of Other Securities to Subject Securities being acquired by the Prospective Subscriber in the Issuance, on the same terms and conditions, as to each unit of Subject Securities and Other Securities issued to the Participating Buyers, as the Prospective Subscriber shall be issued units of Subject Securities and Other Securities.

6.1.4 Certain Legal Requirements. In the event that the participation in the Issuance by a holder of Shares as a Participating Buyer would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (ii) the provision to any participant in the Sale of any information regarding the Company or the securities, such holder of Shares shall not have the right to participate in the Issuance.

6.1.5 Further Assurances. Each Participation Offeree and each Stockholder to whom the Shares held by such Participation Offeree were originally issued, shall, whether in his capacity as a Participating Buyer, Stockholder, officer or director of the Company, or otherwise, take or cause to be taken all such reasonable actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in order expeditiously to consummate each Issuance pursuant to this Section 6.1 and any related transactions, including, without limitation, executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; and otherwise cooperating with the Company and the Prospective Subscriber. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Participating Buyer and Stockholder agrees to execute and deliver such subscription and other agreements specified by the Company to which the Prospective Subscriber will be party.

6.1.6 Expenses. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the holders of Investor Shares or the Company in connection with any proposed Issuance of Subject Securities (whether or not consummated), including without limitation all attorney’s fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, shall be paid by the Company. The reasonable fees and expenses of a single legal counsel representing any or all of the other holders of Shares in connection with such proposed Issuance of Subject Securities (whether or not

- 16 -

consummated) shall be paid by the Company. Any other costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of any other holder of Shares in connection with such proposed Issuance of Subject Securities (whether or not consummated) shall be borne by such holder.

6.1.7 Closing. The closing of an Issuance pursuant to Section 6.1 shall take place at such time and place as the Company shall specify by notice to each Participating Buyer. At the Closing of any Issuance under this Section 6.1.7, each Participating Buyer shall be delivered the notes, certificates or other instruments evidencing the Subject Securities (and, if applicable, Other Securities) to be issued to such Participating Buyer, registered in the name of such Participating Buyer or his designated nominee, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, with any transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery by such Participating Buyer of the applicable consideration.

6.2. Post-Issuance Notice. Notwithstanding the notice requirements of Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2, the Company may proceed with any Issuance prior to having complied with the provisions of Section 6.1; provided that the Company shall:

(a) provide to each holder of Shares who would have been a Participation Offeree in connection with such Issuance (i) with prompt notice of such Issuance and (ii) the Participation Notice described in Section 6.1.1 in which the actual price per unit of Subject Securities (and, if applicable, actual Price Per Equivalent Share) shall be set forth; and

(b) offer to issue to such holder of Shares such number of securities of the type issued in the Issuance as may be requested by such holder of Shares (not to exceed the Participation Portion that such holder of Shares would have been entitled to pursuant to Section 6.1 multiplied by the sum of (a) the number of Subject Securities included in the Issuance and (b) the aggregate number of shares issued pursuant to this Section 6.2 with respect to such Issuance) on the same economic terms and conditions with respect to such securities as the subscribers in the Issuance received; and

(c) keep such offer open for a period of ten business days, during which period, each such holder may accept such offer by sending a written acceptance to the Issuer committing to purchase an amount of such securities (not in any event to exceed the Participation Portion that such holder would have been entitled to pursuant to Section 6.1 multiplied by the sum of (a) the number of Subject Securities included in such issuance and (b) the aggregate number of shares issued pursuant to this Section 6.2 with respect to such Issuance).

7.1.1 General. One or more holders of Investor Shares representing at least 25% of the total amount of Investor Shares then outstanding (“Initiating Investors”), by notice to the Company specifying the intended method or methods of disposition, may request that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act for a Public Offering of

- 18 -

all or a specified part of the Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Investors (for purposes of this Agreement, “Registrable Investor Securities” shall mean Registrable Securities constituting Investor Shares). The Company will then use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register by such Initiating Investors together with all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register pursuant to Section 7.2 or by other holders of Registrable Investor Securities by notice delivered to the Company within 20 days after the Company has given the notice required by Section 7.2.1 (which request shall specify the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities), all to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 7.1.1:

(a) Upon the request of the Company, provided that the Company shall be entitled to make such request only once per any 365 day period, in which case the Company may delay such registration until the later of (i) the 30th day following the effective date of any registration statement pertaining to an underwritten public offering of securities of the Company for its own account (other than a Rule 145 Transaction, or a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans) or (ii) the expiration of any lock-up agreement between the Investors or the Company and the underwriter; or

(b) On any form other than Form S-3 (or any successor form) if the Company has previously effected three or more registrations of Registrable Securities under this Section 7.1.1 on any form other than Form S-3 (or any successor form); provided, however, that no registrations of Registrable Securities which shall not have become and remained effective in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7 and no registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to which the Initiating Investors and all other holders of Registrable Investor Securities joining therein are not able to include at least 90% of the Registrable Securities which they desired to include, shall be included in the calculation of numbers of registrations contemplated by this clause (b).

7.1.2 Form. Except as otherwise provided above, each registration requested pursuant to Section 7.1.1 shall be effected by the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 (or any other form which includes substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement on such form as currently constituted), unless the use of a different form has been agreed to in writing by holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Investor Securities to be included in the proposed registration statement in question (the “Majority Participating Investors”).

7.1.3 Payment of Expenses. The Company shall pay all reasonable expenses of holders of Investor Shares incurred in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 7.1, which shall include one legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, other than underwriting discount and commission, if any, and applicable transfer taxes, if any.

- 19 -

7.1.4 Additional Procedures. In the case of a registration pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, whenever the Majority Participating Investors shall request that such registration shall be effected pursuant to an underwritten offering, the Company shall include such information in the written notices to holders of Registrable Securities referred to in Section 7.2. In such event, the right of any holder of Registrable Securities to have securities owned by such holder included in such registration pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Majority Participating Investors and such holder). If requested by such underwriters, the Company together with the holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting will enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering containing such representations and warranties by the Company and such holders and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including, without limitation, customary indemnity and contribution provisions (subject, in each case, to the limitations on such liabilities set forth in this Agreement).

7.2. Piggyback Registration Rights.

7.2.1 Piggyback Registration.

(a) 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 Securities for sale to the public, for its own account and/or for the account of an Investor or an Affiliated Fund (pursuant to Section 7.1 or otherwise) for sale in a Public Offering, the Company will give notice to all holders of Registrable 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 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 Securities to be so registered. No registration of Registrable Securities effected under this Section 7.2 shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations to effect registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof.

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

(i) Any Public Offering relating to employee benefit plans or dividend reinvestment plans;

- 20 -

(ii) 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

(iii) The Initial Public Offering, unless (i) such offering shall have been initiated by the Investors pursuant to Section 7.1.1 or (ii) one or more Investors shall have requested that all or a specified part of its Registrable Securities be included in such offering pursuant to this Section 7.2.1.

7.2.2 Payment of Expenses. The Company shall pay all reasonable expenses of a single legal counsel representing any and all holders of Registrable Securities incurred in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 7.2.

7.2.3 Additional Procedures. Holders of Shares participating in any Public Offering pursuant to this Section 7.2 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 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 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.

7.3. Certain Other Provisions.

7.3.1 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 7.3.1, the underwriter may limit the number of shares which would otherwise be included in such registration by excluding any or all Registrable 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

- 21 -

whole or in part, under this Section 7.3.1). Upon receipt of notice 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 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 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 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 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 Securities 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 holder or such partners and retired partners, any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons and, at the election of such holder or such partners, retired partners, trusts or affiliated entities, any Charitable Organization to which any of the foregoing shall have contributed Common Stock prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement in connection with such underwritten offering, 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. Upon delivery of a written request that Registrable Securities be included in the underwriting pursuant to Section 7.1.1 or 7.2.1.1, the holder thereof may not thereafter elect to withdraw therefrom without the written consent the Company and the Majority Investors.

7.3.2 Other Actions. If and in each case when the Company is required to use its best efforts to effect a registration of any Registrable 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 270 days from the date of effectiveness or such earlier time as the Registrable 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 Securities under the state securities or

- 22 -

“blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers shall reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company 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 Securities in connection with, such registration.

7.3.3 Selection of Underwriters and Counsel. The underwriters and legal counsel to be retained in connection with any Public Offering shall be selected by the Board or, in the case of an offering following a request therefor under Section 7.1.1, the Initiating Investors, reasonably acceptable to the Company.

7.3.4 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 90th day (or in the case of the Initial Public Offering, 180^th day) following the effective date of the registration statement used in connection with such offering, neither the Company nor any holder of 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, (ii) Transfers to a Permitted Transferee of such holder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) conversions of shares of Common Stock into other classes of Common Stock without change of holder or (iv) during the period preceding the execution of the underwriting agreement in connection with an underwritten offering, Transfers to a Charitable Organization.

7.4.3 Contribution.

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 7.4.3 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 7.4.3 shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
