WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Unit Purchase Agreement, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, certain of the Management Stockholders are purchasing shares of Common Stock (such shares, together with the Rollover Shares and any other shares of Common Stock, including any shares of Common Stock issued at any time to a Management Stockholder pursuant to an exercise of any stock options, the “Shares”), on the Closing Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Subject to Section 9.3, Shares held by a Management Stockholder may be Transferred, upon prior written notice to the Board, pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution or among such Management Stockholder’s Family Group (transferees permitted pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above are collectively referred to herein as “Permitted Transferees”); provided, however that if a Permitted Transferee ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such Management Stockholder, any Transfer made to such Permitted Transferee shall be revoked and shall be null and void.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, a Management Stockholder shall not Transfer any Shares to any resident of the Province of Ontario without the prior written consent of OTPP, other than any Transfer of such Management Stockholder’s Shares pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement.

2. Right of the Company and OTPP to Purchase from Management Stockholders (“Call Right”).

2.1 Right to Purchase. Subject to all subsections of this Section 2, the Company shall have the right to purchase from each Management Stockholder, and each such Management Stockholder shall have the obligation to sell to the Company, any or all Shares held by such Management Stockholder, any or all Shares held by any member(s) of such Management Stockholder’s Family Group and any or all Shares held by Permitted Transferees of such Management Stockholder, it being understood that any member of such Management Stockholder’s Family Group or such Management Stockholder’s Permitted Transferees shall comply with all applicable provisions of this Section 2 upon such Management Stockholder’s termination of employment with the Company or any subsidiary.

(i) with respect to Shares other than the Rollover Shares, at the Fair Market Value of such Shares if such Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company and any subsidiary that employs such individual is terminated as a result of (A) the termination by the Company and any such subsidiary (or by the Company on behalf of any such subsidiary) of such employment without Cause, (B) the death or Disability of such Management Stockholder, (C) the resignation of such Management Stockholder on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement;

(ii) with respect to Shares other than the Rollover Shares, at the lesser of the Fair Market Value and the Initial Value of such Shares if such Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company and any subsidiary that employs such individual is terminated by the Company and any such subsidiary (or by the Company on behalf of any such subsidiary) as a result of (A) the termination by the Company and any such subsidiary (or by the Company on behalf of any such subsidiary) of such employment for Cause at any time or (B) the resignation of such Management Stockholder (other than due to Disability) prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement without the consent of the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion; or

(iii) with respect to Rollover Shares, at the Fair Market Value of such Rollover Shares if such Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company and any subsidiary that employs such individual is terminated for any reason.

If the Company desires to purchase any or all of the Shares from a Management Stockholder, and, as applicable, member(s) of such Management Stockholder’s Family Group and/or such Management Stockholder’s Permitted Transferee(s), it shall deliver a written notice (the “Call Notice”) to such Management Stockholder and, as applicable, member(s) of such Management Stockholder’s Family Group and/or Permitted Transferees of such Management Stockholder, within six months and five business days after the date of termination of employment of such Management Stockholder (the date of such termination, the “Termination Date”). The Call Notice shall set forth the number of Shares to be acquired from such Management Stockholder and, as applicable, any member(s) of such Management Stockholder’s Family Group and/or Permitted Transferees of such Management Stockholder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such Shares and the time and place for the closing of the repurchase transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Company’s purchase of Shares acquired at any time by such Management Stockholder pursuant to an exercise of any stock options, the Call Notice required by this Section 2.2 shall be given by the Company not earlier than six months and one day nor later than eight months after

the date on which such Management Stockholder acquired such Shares, in which case such time period shall be used in lieu of the six months and five business days referred to in the first sentence hereof.

(a) If for any reason the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Shares pursuant to Section 2.1 prior to the six months and five business days following the Termination Date (or such later date as may be provided for in the last sentence of Section 2.2), OTPP shall be entitled, in the manner set forth in this Section 2, to purchase the Shares that the Company has not elected to purchase (the “Available Shares”). As soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the Company determines that there will be Available Shares, the Company shall deliver written notice (“Availability Notice”) to OTPP setting forth the number of Available Shares and the price for each such Available Share.

(b) OTPP may purchase any or all of the Available Shares by delivering written notice to the Company within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the Availability Notice from the Company (such 20-day period, the “OTPP Election Period”).

(c) As soon as practicable, but in any event within five (5) business days after the expiration of the OTPP Election Period, the Company will, if necessary, notify the appropriate Management Stockholders and, as applicable, any member(s) of such Management Stockholder’s Family Group and/or Permitted Transferees of such Management Stockholder, as to the number of Shares being purchased from such Management Stockholders and, as applicable, any member(s) of such Management Stockholder’s Family Group and/or Permitted Transferees of such Management Stockholder, by OTPP (the “Supplemental Call Notice”). The Supplemental Call Notice will set forth the number of Shares the Company and OTPP will acquire from such Management Stockholder and, as applicable, any member(s) of such Management Stockholder’s Family Group and/or Permitted Transferees of such Management Stockholder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such Shares and the time and place of the closing of the repurchase transaction.

(a) The “Fair Market Value” of any Share shall be the amount which the holder of each such Share would receive following a sale of the Company at its market value as determined in good faith by the Board. The Board in its discretion may select a nationally recognized investment banking institution to assist the Board in making such determination, in which case such investment banking institution may consider in such determination, among other things, (i) EBITDA (as defined in the Credit

Agreement) for the previous twelve months, (ii) EBITDA multiples paid in recent acquisitions of comparable companies and (iii) current trends in the industry and the Company’s performance.

(b) The Fair Market Value of any Share to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be determined as of the later of (i) the date that is six months and one day after the Termination Date, (ii) six months and one day after the purchase of Shares pursuant to an exercise of any stock options or (iii) a date determined by the Board within thirty (30) days prior to the delivery of the Call Notice (or the Supplemental Call Notice if no Call Notice has been delivered), if the Call Notice (or the Supplemental Call Notice) is delivered after the third month following the Termination Date; provided, that in no event will such date be later than the date of closing of any repurchase determined pursuant to Section 2.6.

2.5 Initial Value. The “Initial Value” of any Share shall equal the price paid by the relevant Management Stockholder for any such Share.

2.6 Closing. The closing of any repurchase transaction contemplated by this Section 2 will take place on the date designated by the Company in the Call Notice or the Supplemental Call Notice, as the case may be, which date will not be more than ninety (90) days after the deliver of such notice. The Company and/or OTPP, as the case may be, will pay for the Shares to be purchased pursuant to this Section 2 by delivery of a check payable to the appropriate Management Stockholder and, as applicable, any member(s) of such Management Stockholder’s Family Group and/or Permitted Transferees of such Management Stockholder, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such Management Stockholder in the aggregate amount of the purchase price for such Shares. The Company and/or OTPP, as the case may be, will receive customary representations and warranties from each seller regarding the sale of the Shares, including but not limited to the representation that such seller has good and marketable title to the Shares to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims and other encumbrances.

(a) In the event that at any time after the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, OTPP proposes to Transfer all or a portion of the Shares owned by it to any Person (a “Proposed Purchaser”), other than any Transfer (i) pursuant to a Public Sale or the Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) to an Affiliate, then OTPP will promptly provide each Management Stockholder written notice (a “Sale Notice”) of such proposed sale (a “Proposed Sale”) and the material terms of the Proposed Sale as of the date of the Sale Notice (the “Material Terms”), including the aggregate number of Shares the

Proposed Purchaser is willing to purchase, the price of such Shares and the identity of the Proposed Purchaser; it being understood, without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement, that OTPP shall not Transfer a majority of the Shares owned by it to any Proposed Purchaser prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date. If within 15 days of the delivery of the Sale Notice to the Management Stockholders, OTPP receives a written request (a “Sale Request”) to include Shares held by one or more Management Stockholders in the Proposed Sale, the Shares so held by such Management Stockholders shall be so included as provided therein on a pro rata basis as described in Section 3.1(b) below.

(b) The number of Shares that any Management Stockholder will be permitted to include in a Proposed Sale on a pro rata basis pursuant to a Sale Request will be equal to the product of (i) (A) the number of Shares held by such Management Stockholder divided by (B) the number of Shares held by all Stockholders participating in such Proposed Sale and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares proposed to be sold in such Proposed Sale.

(c) Shares subject to a Sale Request will be included in a Proposed Sale pursuant hereto, on the same terms and subject to the same conditions applicable to the shares of Common Stock which OTPP proposes to sell in the Proposed Sale. Such terms and conditions shall include, without limitation, (i) the sale consideration (which shall be reduced by the fees and expenses incurred by OTPP and the Company in connection with the Proposed Sale) and (ii) the provision of information, representations, warranties, covenants and requisite indemnifications; provided, however that any representations and warranties relating specifically to any Stockholder shall only be made by that Stockholder and that the form of consideration to be received by OTPP or any of its Affiliates, if applicable, in connection with the Proposed Sale may be different from that received by any Management Stockholder so long as the per share value of the consideration to be received by OTPP or any of its Affiliates, if applicable, is the same or less than that to be received by such Management Stockholder (as reasonably determined by the Board in good faith).

(d) Upon delivering a Sale Request, each Management Stockholder will, if requested by OTPP (or any of its Affiliates), execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney in form and substance satisfactory to OTPP (or any such Affiliate of OTPP) (a “Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney”) with respect to the Shares which are to be included in the Proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 3.1. The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will provide, among other things, that each such Management Stockholder will deliver to and deposit in custody with OTPP, named as the custodian and attorney-in-fact therein, a certificate or certificates representing such Shares (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint OTPP as such Management Stockholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and

authority to act under a custody agreement and power of attorney on behalf of such Management Stockholder with respect to the matters specified therein.

(e) Each Management Stockholder agrees that such Management Stockholder will execute such other agreements as OTPP (or any of its Affiliates) may reasonably request in connection with the consummation of a Proposed Sale and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, any purchase, merger or recapitalization agreement, escrow agreement or other ancillary agreements, proxies, written consents in lieu of meetings or waivers of appraisal rights.

(a) The Company shall seek to effectuate a Liquidity Event upon a request by OTPP.

(b) At the time the Company seeks to effectuate a Liquidity Event pursuant to a request by OTPP, the Company shall provide each Management Stockholder written notice (a “Drag-Along Notice”) of such Liquidity Event and the material terms thereof not less than 25 business days prior to the proposed closing date of the Liquidity Event and each such Management Stockholder hereby agrees to (i) cooperate in good faith to effectuate such Liquidity Event, (ii) consent to and raise no objections against, and take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with, the consummation of the Liquidity Event, including those actions reasonably requested by OTPP. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the terms set forth in this Section 3.2, (i) each Management Stockholder hereby waives any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such Liquidity Event and (ii) if all or any portion of any such Liquidity Event is structured as a sale of Shares, each Management Stockholder shall sell any or all the Shares and rights to acquire Shares held by such Management Stockholder on a pro rata basis with OTPP.

(c) Shares subject to a Drag-Along Notice will be included in the Liquidity Event pursuant hereto on the same terms and subject to the same conditions applicable to the shares of Common Stock which OTPP proposes to sell, liquidate, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of in the Liquidity Event. Such terms and conditions shall include, without limitation, (i) the consideration (which shall be reduced by the fees and expenses incurred by OTPP and the Company in connection with the Liquidity Event) and (ii) the provision of information, representations, warranties, covenants and requisite indemnifications, provided, however, that any representations and warranties relating specifically to any Stockholder shall only be made by that Stockholder and that the form of consideration to be received by OTPP or any of its Affiliates, if applicable, in connection with the Liquidity Event may be different from that received by any Management Stockholder so long as the per share value of the consideration to be received by OTPP or any of its Affiliates is the same or less than that

to be received by such Management Stockholder (as reasonably determined by the Board in good faith).

(d) Each Management Stockholder will, if requested by OTPP (or any of its Affiliates), execute and deliver a Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney in form and substance satisfactory to OTPP (or any such Affiliate of OTPP ) with respect to the Shares which are to be included in the Liquidity Event pursuant to this Section 3.2 The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will provide, among other things, that each such Management Stockholder will deliver to and deposit in custody with OTPP, named as the custodian and attorney-in-fact therein, a certificate or certificates representing such Shares (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly endorsed stock powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint OTPP as such Management Stockholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under a custody agreement and power of attorney on behalf of such Management Stockholder with respect to the matters specified therein.

(e) Each Management Stockholder agrees that such Management Stockholder will execute such other agreements as OTPP (or any Affiliate of OTPP) may reasonably request in connection with the consummation of a Liquidity Event and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, any purchase, merger or recapitalization agreement, escrow agreement or other ancillary agreements, proxies, written consents in lieu of meetings or waivers of appraisal rights.

In the event that the Company or its Subsidiaries proposes to sell a New Issue to OTPP or one or more of its Affiliates, each of the Management Stockholders (provided that such Management Stockholders is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary at such time) shall have the right to purchase (the “Preemptive Right”), on the same terms and conditions as those of the proposed sale of the New Issue (including, without limitation, as to price), a portion of such shares of the New Issue to be sold equal to such Management Stockholder’s percentage ownership of the Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis, using the treasury method, as of a record date to be set by the Board not more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such sale of the New Issue. The Preemptive Right shall be exercisable for a 15-day period after the Company has given written notice of the proposed sale to such Management Stockholders.

At the closing of each such additional purchase, the Company shall issue and deliver to each Management Stockholder stock certificates representing that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the New Issue (or executed agreements representing equity

securities other than shares) that each such Management Stockholder has purchased pursuant to this Section 4 and each such Management Stockholder shall pay to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds the aggregate consideration for such equity securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to sell any shares of the New Issue to a Management Stockholder that is not an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act.

(i) the authorized number of directors on the Board shall be established by OTPP;

(iii) the remainder of the directors, which will be designated by OTPP, shall be elected to the Board;

(iv) the composition of the board of directors, if any, of each of the Company’s subsidiaries (a “Subsidiary Board”) shall be determined only upon the approval of the Board;

This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Stock Subscription Agreements and, in the case of any affected Management Stockholder, any employment agreement with the Company and any stock option agreement of the Company applicable to such Management Stockholder, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the

parties hereto with respect to the matters referred to herein. This Agreement and the agreements referred to in the preceding sentence supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties with respect to such matters. There are no representations, warranties, promises, inducements, covenants or undertakings relating to the shares of Common Stock other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein, in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Stock Subscription Agreements or, in the case of any affected Management Stockholder, any employment agreement with the Company and any stock option agreement of the Company applicable to such Management Stockholder.

20. Injunctive Relief. The shares of Common Stock cannot readily be purchased or sold in the open market, and for that reason, among others, the Company and the Stockholders will be irreparably damaged in the event this Agreement is not specifically enforced. Each of the parties therefore agrees that in the event of a breach of any provision of this Agreement, the aggrieved party may elect to institute and prosecute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce specific performance or to enjoin the continuing breach of this Agreement. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other remedy which the Company or any Stockholder may have. Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in New York for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the subject matter hereof. Each Stockholder hereby consents to service of process made in accordance with Section 16.
