The immediately preceding sentence and Section 2.4(b) shall not apply to any potential transaction or business opportunity that is expressly offered to a director of the Company or its subsidiaries, solely in his or her capacity as a director of the Company or its subsidiaries.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, in recognition and anticipation that (i) certain directors, principals, members, officers, employees or other representatives of the Principal Stockholders and their respective Affiliates may serve as directors of the Company or its subsidiaries, (ii) the Principal Stockholders and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, now engages or may engage or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, now engages or may engage and (iii) members of the Board who are not employees of the Company and their Affiliates that may be designated, nominated or elected by the Principal Stockholders or their respective Affiliates (the “Non-Employee Directors”) may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, now engages or may engage or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, now engages or may engage, the provisions of this Section 2.4 are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Company with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve any of the Principal Stockholders, the Non-Employee Directors or their respective Affiliates and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Company and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith.

(c) None of (i) the Principal Stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) any Non-Employee Director or his or her Affiliates (the Persons identified in clauses (i) and (ii) above being referred to, individually, as an “Identified Person”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (1) engaging in the

5

same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Company or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage or (2) otherwise competing with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Company for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Company or any of its Affiliates, subject to the last sentence of Section 2.4(a). Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.4(a), in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Company or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Company or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Company for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director or officer of the Company solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by law, no potential transaction or business opportunity may be deemed to be a corporate opportunity of the Company or its subsidiaries unless (i) the Company or its subsidiaries would be permitted to undertake such transaction or opportunity in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation, (ii) the Company or its subsidiaries are legally able to, and are not contractually prohibited from, undertaking such transaction or opportunity, (iii) the Company or its subsidiaries at such time have sufficient financial resources to undertake such transaction or opportunity, (iv) the Company or its subsidiaries have an interest or expectancy in such transaction or opportunity and (v) such transaction or opportunity would be in the same or similar line of business in which the Company or its subsidiaries are then engaged or a line of business that is reasonably related to, or a reasonable extension of, such line of business.

Section 2.5 Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the directors designated pursuant to Section 2 consistent with the Company’s reimbursement of its independent directors’ out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at meetings of the Board and any committees thereof.

Section 2.6 Indemnity Agreements. Simultaneously with any person designated in accordance with this Agreement becoming a director, the Company shall execute and deliver to each such director a director indemnification agreement, in the same form as the director indemnification agreements the Company executed with the Company’s independent directors, dated the date such director becomes a director of the Company.

Section 2.7 Pre-Closing Obligations. Prior to the earlier of the Closing or the date the Merger Agreement is terminated, each Principal Stockholder agrees (a) to be bound by Section 6.3 of the Merger Agreement as if it were Sierra, (b) to provide any information reasonably requested by Ferrari or Sierra for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and any filings with Governmental Entities contemplated by Section 6.2 of the Merger Agreement, (c) reasonably cooperate and execute any necessary documentation to effect the Sierra Reorganization (as defined in the Merger Agreement),

6

so long as, unless otherwise consented to by such Principal Stockholder (which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in its sole discretion), each of the Sierra Reorganization and each such documentation (i) is not adverse (other than in a immaterial manner) to such Principal Stockholder (in its capacity as a member in Sierra), (ii) does not disproportionately and adversely affect such Principal Stockholder (in its capacity as a member in Sierra) when compared to any other member in Sierra (in their respective capacity as a member in Sierra), (iii) results in the new parent of Sierra having the same limited liability company agreement as the current limited liability company agreement of Sierra (other than immaterial differences due solely to the change of entity name or other reasonable de minimis differences required by to reflect the formation of the entity and the contribution of Sierra to the entity) and Sierra being solely owned by the new parent and having a short form limited liability company agreement that is in the same form as the governing documents of Sierra’s other subsidiaries (without any liabilities or obligations therein for such Principal Stockholder in its capacity as such), and (v) will be promptly unwound if the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not consummated for any reason and (d) not to offer, pledge, sell, assign or transfer any of its Sierra Membership Units (other than to an Affiliate who agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a “Principal Stockholder”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Principal Stockholders shall have no obligations with respect to the Merger Agreement except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.7.
