(ii) Upon the closing of the sale of any Restricted Shares pursuant to paragraph (b)(i) above, each Non-Apollo Holder shall deliver at such closing, against payment of the purchase price therefor, certificates representing their Restricted Shares to be sold, duly endorsed for Transfer or accompanied by duly endorsed stock powers, evidence of good title to the Restricted Shares to be sold, the absence of liens, encumbrances and adverse claims with respect thereto and such other documents as are deemed reasonably necessary by the Company for the proper Transfer of such Restricted Shares on the books of the Company.

Section 4. Repurchase Right.

(a) From and after a Repurchase Event, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase all or any portion of the Equity Securities held by such Non-Apollo Holder (including any Equity Securities received upon a distribution from any deferred compensation plan or other Equity Incentive Plan or any Equity Securities issuable upon exercise of any option, warrant or similar equity-linked Security of the Company held by such Non-Apollo Holder) in accordance with this Section 4 (the “Repurchase Right”), in each case, at a price (the “Repurchase Price”) equal to “fair market value,” but subject to Section 4(b), and subject further to any provisions to the contrary contained in such Non-Apollo Holder’s

Employment Agreement or Option Agreement, as applicable. The Company may exercise the Repurchase Right, by written notice (a “Repurchase Notice”) to such Non-Apollo Holder, within six months after the Repurchase Event; provided, however, that with respect to Equity Securities acquired by a Non-Apollo Holder, after such Repurchase Event (whether by exercise of any option, warrant or similar equity-linked Security of the Company, distribution of shares from any deferred compensation plan or otherwise), the Company may exercise the Repurchase Right by delivering a Repurchase Notice to such Non-Apollo Holder within six months after the acquisition of such Equity Securities by such Non-Apollo Holder (each date on which any such purchase is closed with respect to the subject Equity Securities, the “Repurchase Date”). The determination date for purposes of determining the fair market value shall be the Repurchase Date applicable to the subject Equity Securities. Subject to Section 6 below, the Repurchase Date with respect to any repurchase of Equity Securities pursuant to the exercise of the Repurchase Right shall take place on the later of (i) the date specified by the Company, which shall in no event be later than thirty (30) days following the date of the Repurchase Notice and (ii) within ten (10) days following the receipt by the Company of all necessary government approvals.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Employment Agreement or Option Agreement of a Non-Apollo Holder, in the event a Non-Apollo Holder’s employment or consulting relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated for Cause by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by the Non-Apollo Holder without Good Reason and before the second anniversary of the Closing Date (or in the case of Hitt, the fifth anniversary of the Closing), then the Company may exercise the Repurchase Right by delivering a Repurchase Notice to such Non-Apollo Holder within the time periods set forth in Section 4(a) above at a price equal to the lesser of (i) in the case of Common Stock, $ ___ per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment by the Company to reflect any stock split, recapitalization or similar adjustment to the Common Stock (or, for shares of Common Stock acquired after the Closing Date and not upon exercise of a Rollover Option, the original acquisition cost to such Non-Apollo Holder of such shares of Common Stock) and (ii) the fair market value of such Equity Securities. The determination date for purposes of determining the fair market value shall be the closing date of the purchase of the applicable Equity Securities.

(c) The Company shall give prompt written notice to Apollo stating whether the Company will exercise the Repurchase Rights pursuant to Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) above. If such notice states that the Company will not exercise such Repurchase Rights for all or any portion of the applicable Equity Securities subject thereto, Apollo (or its designee) shall have the right (exercisable by delivery of written notice to such Non-Apollo Holder on or before the later of (i) the 30^th day following the receipt of such notice or (ii) six months after the Repurchase Event) to purchase any such Equity Securities not purchased by the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Company set forth in Section 4(a) or Section 4(b).

(d) The Repurchase Date shall take place on a date designated by the Company or Apollo, as applicable, in accordance with Section 4(a) or Section 4(c), respectively; provided, however, that the Repurchase Date may be deferred to a date designated by the Company or Apollo, as applicable, or, to the extent required to avoid liability under applicable securities laws, the Non-Apollo Holder, until such time as the subject Non-Apollo Holder has

held the Equity Securities for a period of at least six months and one day. The Company or Apollo, as applicable, may effect such repurchase of Equity Securities and the Company shall record such Transfer on its books whether or not such Non-Apollo Holder attends such closing or delivers certificates representing such Equity Securities to the Company. Each Non-Apollo Holder hereby grants an irrevocable proxy and power of attorney which, it is agreed, is coupled with an interest to any nominee of the Company or Apollo, as applicable, to take all necessary actions and execute and deliver all documents deemed necessary and appropriate by such nominee to effect such repurchase of Equity Securities. Any Non-Apollo Holder who fails to take all necessary actions and execute and deliver all documents necessary and appropriate to fulfill his, her or its obligations under this Section 4 shall indemnify, defend and hold such nominee harmless against all liability, loss or damage, together with all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), relating to or arising from such nominee’s exercise of the proxy and power of attorney granted hereby. In addition, any such Non-Apollo Holder shall immediately lose all rights such holder may have under Section 8 in the event of any such purchase.

(e) For purposes of this Section 4, Section 5 and Section 6, the “fair market value” of any Equity Securities shall be determined as follows:

(i) if the Equity Securities are listed on one or more National Securities Exchanges (within the meaning of the Exchange Act), each share shall be valued at the average closing price per share on the principal exchange on which such shares are then trading for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of determination;

(ii) if the Equity Securities are not traded on a National Securities Exchange but are quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market or a successor quotation system and the shares are listed as a National Market issue under the National Market System, each share shall be valued at the average of the last sales price per share for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of determination as reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market or any such successor quotation system; or

(iii) if the Equity Securities are not listed on a National Securities Exchange and are not traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market and listed as a National Market issue under the National Market System, the fair market value shall be determined by the Board in good faith based on its good faith determination of the fair market value of the Company and its subsidiaries as a whole without regard to the percentage of shares represented by the shares subject to such determination or any minority discount or control premium.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Person whose Equity Securities are being valued hereunder pursuant to clause (iii) above disagrees with the valuation determined by the Board, such Person may elect to choose within five Business Days of being advised of the determination of the Board to have the fair market value determined by and independent appraiser, the selection of which shall be subject to the mutual agreement of the Company and such Person. The fees and expenses of any such independent appraiser shall be borne equally by the Company and the Person whose Equity Securities are being

valued hereunder and the determination by the independent appraiser selected in accordance with this Section 4(e) shall be final and binding.

Section 5. Involuntary Transfers.

(a) In the case of any Transfer of title or beneficial ownership of Equity Securities upon default, foreclosure, forfeit, divorce, court order or otherwise, other than by a voluntary decision on the part of a Non-Apollo Holder (each, an “Involuntary Transfer”), the Non-Apollo Holder shall promptly (but in no event later than two days after the Involuntary Transfer) furnish written notice (the “Involuntary Transfer Notice”) to the Company indicating that the Involuntary Transfer has occurred, specifying the name of the Person to whom the Equity Securities were transferred (the “Involuntary Transferee”), giving a detailed description of the circumstances giving rise to, and stating the legal basis for, the Involuntary Transfer.

(b) Upon the receipt of the Involuntary Transfer Notice, and for 60 days thereafter, the Company shall have the right to repurchase, and the Involuntary Transferee shall have the obligation to sell, all (but not less than all) of the Equity Securities acquired by the Involuntary Transferee for a repurchase price equal to the “fair market value” (as determined in accordance with Section 4(e)) of such Equity Securities as of the date of the Involuntary Transfer (the “Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Price” and such right, the “Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Right”). The Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Right shall be exercised by written notice (the “Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Notice”) to the Involuntary Transferee given in accordance with Section 14(k) of this Agreement on or prior to the last date on which the Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Right may be exercised by the Company.

(c) Subject to Section 6 below, the repurchase of Equity Securities pursuant to the exercise of the Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Right shall take place on a date specified by the Company, but in no event following the later of the 60th day following the date of the date of the Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Notice or the 10th day following the receipt by the Company of all necessary governmental approvals. On such date, the Involuntary Transferee shall transfer the Equity Securities subject to the Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Notice to the Company, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, by delivering to the Company the certificates representing the Equity Securities to be purchased, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or accompanied by a stock power duly executed in blank, and the Company shall pay to the Involuntary Transferee the Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Price. The Involuntary Transferee and the Non-Apollo Holder shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company in order to expedite all proceedings described in this Section 5. If the Involuntary Transferee does not transfer the Equity Securities to the Company as required, the Company will cancel such Equity Securities and deposit the funds in a non-interest bearing account and make payment upon delivery.

Section 6. Repurchase Disability.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except as otherwise provided by Section 6(c), the Company shall not be permitted to purchase any Equity Securities held by any Non-Apollo Holder or Involuntary Transferee upon exercise of the Repurchase Right or the Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Right if the Board reasonably determines that:

(i) the purchase of Equity Securities would render the Company or its Subsidiaries unable to meet their obligations in the ordinary course of business at any time during the one year period commencing on the date such purchase of Equity Securities would otherwise be required taking into account any pending or proposed transactions, capital expenditures or other budgeted cash outlays by the Company and its Subsidiaries which are reasonably likely to be consummated or paid, as the case may be, within such one year period, including, without limitation, any proposed acquisition of any other entity by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is reasonably likely to be consummated within such one year period;

(ii) the Company is prohibited from purchasing the Equity Securities by applicable law restricting the purchase by a corporation of its own shares; or

(iii) the purchase of Equity Securities would constitute a breach of, default, or event of default under, or is otherwise prohibited by, the terms of any loan agreement or other agreement or instrument representing indebtedness to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (collectively, the “Financing Documents”) or the Company or its applicable Subsidiaries is not able to obtain the requisite consent of any of its senior lenders to the purchase of the Equity Securities.

The events described in (i) through (iii) above each constitute a “Repurchase Disability.”

(b) Except as otherwise provided by Section 6(c), in the event of a Repurchase Disability, the Company shall notify in writing the Non-Apollo Holder or Involuntary Transferee with respect to whom the Repurchase Right or the Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Right has been exercised (a “Disability Notice”). The Disability Notice shall specify the nature of the Repurchase Disability. The Company shall thereafter repurchase the Equity Securities described in the Repurchase Notice or Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Notice as soon as reasonably practicable after all Repurchase Disabilities cease to exist (or the Company may elect, but shall have no obligation, to cause its nominee to repurchase the Equity Securities while any Repurchase Disabilities continue to exist); provided, however, that if some, but not all of the Equity Securities to be repurchased can be so repurchased without creating a Repurchase Disability, then the Company shall consummate such repurchase to the fullest extent it is able without causing a Repurchase Disability in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (without giving effect to this Section 6). In the event the Company suspends its obligations to repurchase the Equity Securities pursuant to a Repurchase Disability, (i) the Company shall provide written notice to each applicable Non-Apollo Holder or Involuntary Transferee as soon as practicable after all Repurchase Disabilities cease to exist (the “Reinstatement Notice”); (ii) the fair market value of the Equity Securities subject to a Repurchase Notice or Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Notice shall be equal to the greater of the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 4(e)) of the Equity Securities as of the date of the date of the Repurchase Notice or the Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, and the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 4(e)) determined as of the date the Reinstatement Notice is delivered to the Non-Apollo Holder or Involuntary Transferee, which fair market value shall be used to determine the Repurchase Price or Involuntary Transfer Repurchase Price in the manner described above; and (iii) the repurchase shall occur on a date

specified by the Company within 10 days following the determination of the fair market value of the Equity Securities to be repurchased as provided in clause (ii) above.

Section 7. Cooperation.

(a) In the event that Apollo exercises its rights pursuant to Section 3(a) or Section 3(b), each Non-Apollo Holder shall consent to and raise no objections (other than to challenge the lawfulness of any transaction to be consummated in connection with Apollo’s exercise of such rights, but only in the event that such Non-Apollo Holder would be required to violate applicable law in connection with the consummation of such transaction) against the transaction, and shall take all actions that the Board reasonably deems necessary or desirable in connection with the consummation of the transaction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Non-Apollo Holder agrees to (i) consent to and raise no objections (other than to challenge the lawfulness of any transaction to be consummated in connection with Apollo’s exercise of such rights, but only in the event that such Non-Apollo Holder would be required to violate applicable law in connection with the consummation of such transaction) against the transaction; (ii) execute any stock purchase agreement, merger agreement or other agreement entered into with the third party purchaser with respect to the transaction setting forth the terms and any ancillary agreement with respect to such transaction; (iii) vote the Equity Securities held by such Non-Apollo Holder in favor of the transaction; and (iv) refrain from the exercise of dissenters’ or appraisal rights with respect to the transaction.

(b) If the Company or the holders of the Company’s securities enter into any negotiation or transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated under the Securities Act, may be available with respect to the negotiation or transaction (including a merger, consolidation, or other reorganization), each Non-Apollo Holder shall, if reasonably requested by the Company, appoint a purchaser representative (as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act) reasonably acceptable to the Company. If the purchaser representative is designated by the Company, the Company shall pay the fees of the purchaser representative, but if any Non-Apollo Holder appoints another purchaser representative, the Non-Apollo Holder shall be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed.

(c) Each Non-Apollo Holder shall bear its pro rata share of the costs of any transaction in which it sells Equity Securities (based upon the net proceeds received by such Non-Apollo Holder in such transaction) to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all holders of Equity Securities and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party (it being agreed that expenses incurred by or on behalf of Apollo or a Non-Apollo Holder for his, her or its sole benefit shall not be considered expenses incurred for the benefit of all Stockholders).

Section 8. Board of Directors.

(a) Number of Directors; Nomination; Removal; Committees.

(i) The Company and the Stockholders shall take such corporate actions as may be required to ensure that (A) the number of directors constituting the Board is at all times five (5), and (B) the presence of three (3) directors (including a

majority of Apollo Directors (as defined below)) is required to constitute a quorum of the Board.

(ii) For so long as Apollo owns any shares of Common Stock (or equity-linked Securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock), (A) Apollo shall have the right to nominate two (2) Persons to serve as directors on the Board and propose the removal of such nominees and (B) Fund VI shall have the right to nominate one (1) Person to serve as director on the Board and propose the removal of such nominee (the Persons nominated pursuant to clause (A) and (B) of this paragraph, the “Apollo Directors”). Each such nomination or proposal shall be made by Apollo or Fund VI, as the case may be, delivering a written notice to the Company. As promptly as practicable, but in any event within five (5) days, after delivery of such notice, the parties hereto shall take or cause to be taken such corporate actions as may be reasonably required to cause the election or removal proposed in such notice, and the Stockholders agree to vote their shares in favor of such proposal. Such corporate actions may include calling a meeting or soliciting a written consent of the Board, or calling a meeting or soliciting a written consent of the Stockholders of the Company. The Apollo Directors initially shall be Laurence Berg, Steven Martinez and Peter P. Copses, it being acknowledged and agreed that Fund VI has nominated Peter P. Copses to serve as an Apollo Director.

(iii) Robert Hitt (“Hitt”) shall have the right to serve as a director until he (A) resigns as a director, or (B) ceases, for any reason, to serve the Company under his Employment Agreement and is no longer the chief executive officer of the Company (each such event, with respect to Hitt, a “Resignation Event”). In the event of any such Resignation Event, Hitt agrees to resign as a director of the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company immediately pursuant to a written resignation notice delivered to the Board. In the event Hitt fails to so resign following a Resignation Event, the Stockholders agree to vote their shares to remove Hitt as a director pursuant to the terms of this Agreement immediately. Hitt acknowledges and agrees that he shall have no right to be appointed to the Board following removal therefrom pursuant to this Section 8.

(iv) While serving as a director in accordance with this Section 8, Hitt shall be a “Non-Apollo Director.” In the event, Hitt loses his right to serve as a director, his replacement shall be appointed by the holders of a majority of the Common Stock of the Company owned by Shareholders other than Apollo and Affiliates of Apollo and such replacement shall be a “Non-Apollo Director.”

(v) The majority of the members of each committee created by the Board shall be Apollo Directors, and each Stockholder shall vote his, her or its Equity Securities, and the Company and the Stockholders shall take such corporate actions as may be required, to effectuate the provisions of this Section 8(a)(v).

(b) Meetings; Expenses; Compensation.

(i) The Company agrees to cause the Bylaws to provide, at all times from and after the Closing, that meetings of the Board or any committee thereof may be conducted by teleconference and that Board action may be taken by unanimous written consent.

(ii) The Company shall convene meetings of the Board at least once every three months. Upon any failure by the Company to convene any meeting required by this paragraph, a director nominated under Section 8(a)(ii) shall be empowered to convene such meeting.

(iii) The Company shall reimburse each director for his or her reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including travel and related expenses) incurred in connection with (i) attending the meetings of the Board and all committees thereof and (ii) conducting any other Company business requested by the Company. The Company shall maintain directors and officers indemnity insurance coverage reasonably satisfactory to Apollo, and the Restated Certificate and By-laws shall provide for indemnification and exculpation of directors to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

(iv) The Company shall pay each Apollo Director and each independent director appointed by Apollo (A) a director’s fee in the amount of $40,000 per year; (B) an attendance fee in the amount of $2,000 for each meeting of the board of directors attended in person by such director; and (C) an attendance fee in the amount of $1,000 for each meeting of the board of directors attended telephonically by such director.

(c) Increase of Number of Directors. In the event that, and at such time as, the number of directors constituting the Board is increased to more than five (5), Apollo shall have the right (for so long as Apollo owns any shares of Common Stock (or equity-linked Securities convertible into shares of Common Stock)) to nominate additional directors such that the majority of the directors comprising the Board shall be Apollo Directors, and the Company and Stockholders shall take all corporate actions as may be required to ensure that (x) nominees of Apollo constitute a majority of the directors of the Board and (y) the presence of a majority of directors (including a majority of directors appointed by Apollo) is required to constitute a quorum of the Board.

(d) Subsidiaries. The provisions of this Section 8 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company.

(e) Inconsistency; Termination.

(i) In the event that any provision of the Bylaws or Restated Certificate is inconsistent with any provision of this Section 8, the Stockholders shall take such action as may be necessary to amend any such provision in the Bylaws or Restated Certificate to reflect the terms and provisions of this Section 8.

(ii) The provisions of this Section 8 shall terminate automatically and be of no further force and effect upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

Section 9. Representations and Warranties.

Section 10. Information Rights; Covenants.

(a) For so long as Apollo owns any Equity Securities, it shall be entitled to receive regular and suitable business (e.g. sales, marketing and technology), financial and other information reasonably appropriate to monitor and manage its ownership interests and such other information as it may reasonably request, from time to time. Such information will include, without limitation, the following:

(i) Access to Records. The Company shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary of the Company to, afford to Apollo and its officers, employees, advisors, counsel and other authorized representatives, during normal business hours, reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice, to all of the books, records and properties of the Company and each such Subsidiary and all officers and employees of the Company and each such Subsidiary.

(ii) Hiring of Advisors. In connection with any possible Sale of the Company or any transactions permitted or contemplated herein, and upon the request of Apollo, subject to the fiduciary duties of the directors of the Company, the Company shall hire any (A) investment bank, (B) legal advisor, (C) financial or accounting advisor, or (D) other such advisor(s) on terms and conditions satisfactory to Apollo.

(iii) Financial Reports. The Company shall furnish Apollo with the following:

As soon as available, but not later than 30 days after the end of each fiscal month, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such period and consolidated statements of income of the Company for such period and for the period commencing at the end of the previous fiscal year and ending with the end of such period, setting forth in each case in comparative form the corresponding figures for the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year, and including comparisons to the budget or business plan and an analysis of the variances from the budget or plan, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals consistently applied (except for the absence of footnotes and year-end adjustments).

(B) Quarterly Reports. As soon as available, but not later than 45 days after the end of each quarterly accounting period, (1) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such period and consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for such quarterly accounting period and for the period commencing at the end of the previous fiscal year and ending with the end of such period, setting forth in each case in comparative form the corresponding figures for the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year, and including comparisons to the budget or business plan and an analysis of the variances from the budget or plan, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals consistently applied and (2) a report by management of the Company of the operating and financial highlights of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such period, which shall include (x) a comparison between operating and financial results and budget and (y) an analysis of the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such period.

As soon as available, but not later than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, which shall include statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for such fiscal year and a balance sheet as of the last day thereof, each prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and accompanied by the report of a the firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Board (the “Accountants”). The Company and its Subsidiaries shall maintain a system of accounting sufficient to enable its Accountants to render the report referred to in this Section 10.

(D) Miscellaneous. Promptly upon becoming available, the Company shall provide to Apollo:

(1) copies of all financial statements, reports, press releases, notices, proxy statements and other documents sent by the Company or its Subsidiaries to Apollo or its or their stockholders generally or released to the public and copies of all regular and periodic reports, if any, filed by the Company or its Subsidiaries with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or the NASD;

(2) notification in writing of any litigation or governmental proceeding in which it or any of its Subsidiaries is involved and which might, if determined adversely, materially and adversely effect the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(3) notification in writing of the existence of any default under any material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their assets are bound;

(5) upon request, any other routinely collected financial or other information available to management of the Company or its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, routinely collected statistical data).

(b) Apollo shall, and shall cause its Authorized Representatives (as defined below) to, hold in confidence all Company Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates provided or made available to, or otherwise known by or in the possession of, Apollo; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not apply to information which: (i) is or becomes generally known to the industry or the public (other than as a result of the breach of this Section 10 by Apollo); or (ii) is or becomes available to Apollo on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents. As used in this Agreement, the term “Company Confidential Information” means information that is not generally known to the public and that is used, developed or obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with their respective businesses, including processes, ideas, inventions (whether patentable or not), know-how, schematics, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, patents, designs and all other intellectual property and proprietary information, books, records, financial statements, customer lists, details regarding products and services, marketing information, sales information and all other technical, business, financial, customer and product development plans, forecasts, strategies and information, previously, presently, or subsequently disclosed to Apollo or its Affiliates or Authorized Representatives, in each case to the extent not generally known to the public. Notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, Company Confidential Information may be disclosed by Apollo and its Authorized Representatives when compelled by governmental rule or regulation, or compelled by legal process or court order if Apollo (and/or its Authorized Representatives) has given the Company prompt written notice of such request or order and the Company Confidential Information to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as reasonably possible so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance by Apollo. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Apollo and its Authorized Representatives shall be entitled to rely conclusively on an opinion of its nationally recognized outside counsel that Apollo or its Authorized Representative is compelled by governmental rule or regulation, or compelled by legal process or court order, to disclose any such Company Confidential Information.

(c) Notwithstanding the disclosure obligations set forth in Section 10(a), to the extent applicable to the Company, the Company shall comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements and provisions of Regulation FD (17 C.F.R. § 243.100, as amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time).

Section 11. Registration Rights.

(a) Right to Demand; Demand Notices. Subject to the provisions of this Section 11, at any time and from time to time, Apollo (the “Demand Party”) shall have the right

to make two (2) written requests in any 12-month period to the Company for registration under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of all or part of its Restricted Shares. All requests made pursuant to this Section 11 will specify the aggregate amount of Restricted Shares to be registered, and will also specify the intended method of Transfer thereof (a “Demand Notice”), including, if such Transfer is pursuant to an Underwritten Offering, whether such offering shall be a “firm commitment” underwriting. Subject to Section 11(e), promptly upon receipt of any such Demand Notice, the Company will use its best efforts to effect, as soon as possible, but in any event within 90 days, such registration under the Securities Act of the Restricted Shares that the Company has been so requested to register.

(b) Company’s Right to Defer Registration. If the Company is requested to effect a Demand Registration and the Company furnishes to the Demand Party a copy of a resolution of the Board certified by the secretary of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be materially adverse to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed on or before the date such filing would otherwise be required hereunder, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request for such registration from such Demand Party. If the Company shall so postpone the filing of a Registration Statement and if the Demand Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of postponement advises the Company in writing that such Demand Party has determined to withdraw such request for registration, then such Demand Registration shall be deemed to be withdrawn and shall not be deemed to have been requested for purposes of Section 11(a). If the effective date of any Registration Statement filed would otherwise be at least forty-five (45) calendar days, but fewer than ninety (90) calendar days, after the end of the Company’s fiscal year, and the Securities Act requires the Company to include audited financials as of the end of such fiscal year, the Company may delay the effectiveness of such Registration Statement for such period (up to a maximum of 45 days) as is reasonably necessary to include therein audited financial statements for such fiscal year.

(c) Registration Statement Form. Registrations under this Section 11 shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission (i) as shall be selected by the Company and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Demand Party and (ii) as shall permit the Transfer of Restricted Shares in accordance with the intended method or methods of Transfer specified in the Demand Party’s Demand Notice. If, in connection with any registration under this Section 11 that is proposed by the Company to be on Form S-3 or any successor form, the managing underwriter, if any, shall advise the Company in writing that in its opinion the use of another permitted form is of material importance to the success of the offering, then such registration shall be on such other permitted form.

(d) Effective Registration Statement. The Company shall be deemed to have effected a Demand Registration if (i) the Registration Statement relating to such Demand Registration is declared effective by the Commission; provided, however, that no Demand Registration shall be deemed to have been requested for purposes of Section 11(a) if (x) such registration, after it has become effective, is or becomes subject to any stop order, injunction or other Order of the Commission or other Governmental Authority or court by reason of an act or omission by the Company and such interference is not cured within twenty (20) Business Days or (y) the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied because of an act or omission

by the Company (other than a failure of the Company or any of its officers or employees to execute or deliver any closing certificate by reason of facts or circumstances existing due to actions of Apollo) or (ii) at any time after the Demand Party delivers a Demand Notice to the Company and prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the preparation of such Registration Statement is discontinued or such Registration Statement is withdrawn or abandoned at the request of the Demand Party (other than as contemplated by Section 11(e)) unless the Demand Party has elected to pay and has paid to the Company in full the Registration Expenses (as set forth in Section 11(j)) in connection with such Registration Statement.

(e) Cutbacks. If the managing underwriter advises the Company that the inclusion of all such Restricted Shares proposed to be included in any registration would interfere with the successful marketing (including pricing) of the Equity Securities of the Company to be offered thereby, then the number of Restricted Shares proposed to be included in such registration shall be allocated among the Company and the selling Stockholders in the following order of priority:

(i) first, the Restricted Shares to be offered by the Company; and

(ii) second, the amount of Restricted Shares which all other Stockholders have requested to be included in such registration (that the managing underwriter believes can be sold without interfering with the successful marketing (including pricing) of the Equity Securities of the Company), pro rata based upon the number of Restricted Shares proposed to be sold by each such Stockholder in such registration.

(f) Piggyback Registration. If the Company at any time proposes for any reason to register Restricted Shares under the Securities Act (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor forms thereto) including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 11(a) or Section 11(g), it shall promptly give written notice to each Stockholder of its intention to register the Restricted Shares and, upon the written request, given within 15 days after delivery of any such notice by the Company, of any such Stockholder to include in such registration Restricted Shares (which request shall specify the number of Restricted Shares proposed to be included in such registration), the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all such Restricted Shares to be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Shares otherwise being sold in such registration, and in any event, subject to Section 11(e) the Company shall include the Restricted Shares if the registration is effected pursuant to Section 11(a) or Section 11(g) on the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Shares otherwise being sold in such registration.

(g) Registrations on Form S-3. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, at such time as the Company shall have qualified for the use of Form S-3 promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor form thereto, Apollo shall have the right to request in writing an unlimited number of Demand Registrations on Form S-3 or such successor form of Restricted Shares held by Apollo, which request or requests shall (i) specify the number of Restricted Shares intended to be sold or otherwise Transferred and (ii) state the intended method of Transfer of such Restricted Shares. Promptly (and in any event within 5 days) after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of such proposed

registration to the other Stockholders and, subject to Section 11(e), shall include in such proposed registration any Restricted Shares requested to be included in such proposed registration by such Stockholders who respond in writing to the Company’s notice within 15 days after delivery of such Notice (which response shall specify the number of Restricted Shares proposed to be included in such registration).

(h) Holdback Agreement. If the Company at any time shall register any shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act (including any registration pursuant to Section 11(a)) for sale to the public, Apollo and the Non-Apollo Holders shall not sell, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise Transfer, any Restricted Shares (other than those Restricted Shares included in such registration pursuant to Section 11(a)) without the prior written consent of the Company for a period designated by the Company in writing to Apollo and the Non-Apollo Holders, which period shall not begin more than 10 days prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to which such public offering shall be made and shall not exceed 90 days (or 180 days in the case of the initial public offering) after the effective date of such Registration Statement.

(i) Preparation and Filing. If and whenever the Company is under an obligation pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any Restricted Shares, the Company shall, as expeditiously as practicable:

(i) use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement that registers such Restricted Shares to become and remain effective for a period of 90 days or until all of such Restricted Shares have been Transferred (if earlier);

(ii) furnish, at least five Business Days before filing a Registration Statement that registers such Restricted Shares, any Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus relating thereto or any amendments or supplements relating to such a Registration Statement or such prospectuses, to one counsel acting on behalf of all selling Stockholders selected by Apollo (the “Sellers’ Counsel”), copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (it being understood that such five Business Day period need not apply to successive drafts of the same document proposed to be filed so long as such successive drafts are supplied to such counsel in advance of the proposed filing by a period of time that is customary and reasonable under the circumstances), and shall use its best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as the Stockholders whose Restricted Shares are to be covered by such Registration Statement may reasonably propose;

(iii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for at least a period of 90 days or until all of such Restricted Shares have been Transferred (if earlier) and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other Transfer of such Restricted Shares;

(iv) promptly notify the Sellers’ Counsel in writing (A) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to any comments by the Commission

with respect to such Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing thereof or for additional information with respect thereto, (B) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose and (C) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of such Restricted Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purposes;

(v) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Restricted Shares under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any selling Stockholder reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the holders of such Restricted Shares to consummate the Transfer in such jurisdictions.

(vi) without limiting subsection (v) above, use its best efforts to cause such Restricted Shares to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the holders of such Restricted Shares to consummate the Transfer of such Restricted Shares;

(vii) furnish to each selling Stockholder and the underwriters, if any, such number of copies of such Registration Statement, any amendments thereto, any exhibits thereto or documents incorporated by reference therein (but only to the extent not publicly available on EDGAR or the Company’s website), any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus (each in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act), and such other documents as such selling Stockholder or underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering and sale or other Transfer of such Restricted Shares;

(viii) notify in writing on a timely basis each selling Stockholder at any time when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing and, at the request of such Stockholder, prepare and furnish to such Stockholder a number of copies reasonably requested by such Stockholder of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the offerees of such Restricted Shares, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

(ix) prevent the issuance of an Order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, and if one is issued, use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal

of any Order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement as soon as possible;

(x) retain in accordance with the Rules and Regulations all Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses not required to be filed pursuant to the Rules and Regulations; and if at any time after the date hereof any event shall have occurred as a result of which any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the most recent Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus effect compliance with the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, to notify promptly in writing the selling Stockholders and underwriters and, upon request, to file such document and to prepare and furnish without charge to each selling Stockholder and underwriter as many copies as each such selling Stockholder and underwriter may from time to time reasonably request of an amended or supplemented Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that will correct such conflict, statement or omission or effect compliance with the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations;

(xi) make available for inspection by the selling Stockholders, the Sellers’ Counsel or any underwriter participating in any Transfer pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, managers and employees to supply all information (together with the Records, the “Information”) reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement. Any of the Information that the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other Order from a Governmental Authority or (iii) such Information has been made generally available to the public. The selling Stockholders agree that they will, upon learning that disclosure of such Information is sought by a Governmental Authority, give prompt written notice to the Company and use their reasonable commercial efforts to allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Information deemed confidential;

(xii) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, use its best efforts to obtain, from its Accountants, a “cold comfort” letter in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters;

(xiii) use its best efforts to obtain, from its counsel, an opinion or opinions in customary form (which shall also be addressed to the Stockholders selling

Restricted Shares in such registration) and, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, use its best efforts to obtain, from its counsel, an opinion or opinions in customary form;

(xiv) provide a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity) for such Restricted Shares and a CUSIP number for such Restricted Shares, in each case no later than the effective date of such registration;

(xv) upon the request of any underwriter, issue to any underwriter to which any selling Stockholder may sell Restricted Shares in such offering, certificates evidencing such Restricted Shares;

(xvi) upon the request of Apollo, list such Restricted Shares on any national securities exchange on which any shares of Common Stock are listed or, if no such shares are listed on a national securities exchange, use its best efforts to qualify such Restricted Shares for inclusion on the automated quotation system of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) or such other national securities exchange as Apollo shall request;

(xvii) in connection with an Underwritten Offering, participate, to the extent requested by the managing underwriter for the offering or Apollo, in customary efforts to sell the Restricted Shares being offered, cause such steps to be taken as to ensure the good faith participation of senior management officers of the Company in “road shows” as is customary and take such other actions as the underwriters or Apollo may request in order to expedite or facilitate the Transfer of Restricted Shares;

(xviii) cooperate with each Stockholder and each underwriter participating in the Transfer of Restricted Shares and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the NASD, including, if appropriate, the pre-filing of the Prospectus as part of a shelf Registration Statement in advance of an Underwritten Offering;

(xix) make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable but not later than eighteen (18) months after the effective date, earnings statements (which need not be audited) covering a period of twelve (12) months beginning within three (3) months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statements shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

(xx) during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, promptly file all documents required to be filed with the Commission, including pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

(xxi) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable Rules and Regulations; and

(xxii) use its best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Restricted Shares contemplated hereby.

(j) Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of, or compliance with, this Section 11, including (a) all registration and filing fees, and any other fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with any stock exchange, the Commission and the NASD (including, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” and its counsel as may be required by the rules and regulations of the NASD); (b) all fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters or Stockholders in connection with “blue sky” qualifications of the Restricted Shares and determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the managing underwriters may designate); (c) all printing and related messenger and delivery expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the Restricted Shares in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company (or any other depositary or transfer agent/registrar) and of printing any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments thereto), all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of all independent certified public accountants of the issuer (including the expenses of any special audit and “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance); (d) Securities Act liability insurance if the Company so desires or the underwriters so require; (e) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Restricted Shares on any securities exchange (including NASDAQ) and all rating agency fees; (f) all fees and disbursements of the Sellers’ Counsel to represent the selling Stockholders in connection with such registration; and (g) reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel and advisors retained by the Company (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), will be borne by the Company, regardless of whether the Registration Statement becomes effective; provided, however, that all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the Restricted Shares shall not be borne by the Company, but shall be borne by the seller or sellers thereof, in proportion to the number of Restricted Shares sold by such seller or sellers. In addition, the Company will, in any event, pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company.

(k) Indemnification.

(i) In connection with any registration of any Restricted Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each seller of such Restricted Shares, each underwriter, broker or any other Person acting on behalf of such seller and each other Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (C) any Permitted Issuer Information used or referred to in any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) used or referred to by any underwriter or (D) any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) not constituting an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the most recent Preliminary Prospectus

(collectively, “Road Show Material”), (2) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information or any Road Show Material any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Preliminary Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Road Show Material and the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or state securities or blue sky laws applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration or qualification under such state securities or blue sky laws; and shall reimburse such seller, such underwriter, such broker or such other Person acting on behalf of such seller and each such controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company 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 Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any such amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information or any Road Show Material in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by such seller or underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof; and provided, further, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified party if (w) such loss, claim, damage, liability or judgment arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, as the case may be, (x) the Company informed such sellers and underwriters of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission prior to the confirmation of sales of the Shares, (y) such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was corrected in an amended or supplemented Preliminary Prospectus (or, where permitted by law, an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) and such corrected Preliminary Prospectus (or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) was provided to the underwriters such that the underwriters had a reasonably sufficient amount of time to deliver such corrected Preliminary Prospectus (or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) to the Persons to whom the underwriters offered the Restricted Shares and (z) the timely delivery of such amended Preliminary Prospectus (or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) to such Person would have constituted a complete defense to the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments asserted by such Person.

(ii) In connection with any registration of Restricted Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each seller of Restricted Shares shall indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in the preceding paragraph of this Section 11(k)) the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign such Registration Statement, each underwriter, broker or other Person acting on behalf of such seller, each Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act and each other seller of Restricted Shares under such Registration Statement with respect to any statement or omission from any

Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Road Show Material, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or such underwriter through an instrument duly executed by such seller specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such Preliminary Prospectus, Registration Statement, Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in Road Show Material; provided, however, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such indemnification shall be, limited, in the case of each seller of Restricted Shares, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Restricted Shares effected pursuant to such registration.

(iii) Indemnification similar to that specified in Sections 11(k)(i) and (k)(ii) shall be given by the Company and each seller of Restricted Shares (with such modifications as may be appropriate) with respect to any required registration or other qualification of their Securities under any Federal or state law or regulation of Governmental Authority other than the Securities Act.

(iv) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 11(k), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action (provided, however, that an indemnified party’s failure to give such notice in a timely manner shall only relieve the indemnification obligations of an indemnifying party to the extent such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure). In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified 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 responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are additional to or conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 11(k), the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and, any Person controlling such indemnified party for that portion of the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified party which are reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 11(k).

(v) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 11(k) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage or liability referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid

or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of each seller of Restricted Shares, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Restricted Shares effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraud shall be entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(vi) The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and will survive the Transfer of Restricted Shares.

(l) Underwritten Offerings.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement:

(i) to the extent that all the holders selling Restricted Shares in a proposed registration shall enter into an underwriting or similar agreement, which agreement contains provisions covering one or more issues addressed in this Section 11, the provisions contained in this Section 11 addressing such issue or issues shall be of no force or effect with respect to such registration. If any offering pursuant to a Demand Registration or pursuant to Section 11(g) involves an Underwritten Offering, Apollo shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering, which managing underwriters shall be a firm of nationally recognized standing and reasonably satisfactory to the Company in which case the Company shall enter into an agreement with such firm for the underwriting of such offering containing terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Apollo and the Company; and

(ii) no Stockholder may participate in any registration hereunder that is underwritten unless such Stockholder agrees (A) to sell such Stockholder’s Restricted Shares proposed to be included therein on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangement(s) acceptable to Apollo and the Company and consistent with the terms hereof and (B) as expeditiously as possible, to notify the Company of the occurrence of any event concerning such Stockholder as a result of which any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(m) Information by Holder. Each holder of Restricted Shares to be included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such written information regarding such holder and the distribution proposed by such holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.

(n) Exchange Act Compliance. From and after the date a Registration Statement filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act relating to any class of the its Securities shall have become effective, the Company shall comply with all of the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (whether or not it shall be required to do so) and shall comply with all other public information reporting requirements of the Commission which are conditions to the availability of Rule 144 for the sale of Restricted Shares. The Company shall cooperate with each holder in supplying such information as may be necessary for such holder to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 or any comparable successor rules). The Company shall furnish to any holder of Restricted Shares upon request a written statement executed by the Company as to the steps it has taken to comply with the current public information requirement of Rule 144 (or such comparable successor rules). After the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, subject to the limitations on Transfers imposed by this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to facilitate and expedite transfers of Restricted Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which efforts shall include timely notice to its transfer agent to expedite such transfers of Restricted Shares.

(o) No Conflict of Rights. The Company represents and warrants to Apollo and the Non-Apollo Holders that the registration rights granted in this Agreement do not conflict with any other registration rights granted by the Company. The Company shall not, after the date hereof, grant any registration rights which conflict with or impair, or have any priority over, the registration rights granted hereby.

(p) Termination. The provisions of this Section 11 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when there shall not be any Restricted Shares, provided, however, that Sections 11(j) and (k) shall survive the termination of this Agreement indefinitely.

(q) Cypress Stockholders’ Agreement. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Cypress Stockholders’ Agreement contains provisions comparable to the provisions of this Section 11, including provisions relating to piggyback registration rights. Nothing in this Section 11 shall limit or in any way restrict the rights of the parties to the Cypress Stockholders’ Agreement thereunder.

Section 12. Non-Solicitation; Non-Hire; Non-Compete; Non-Disparagement; Confidentiality.

The following provisions shall apply to each Non-Apollo Holder to the extent that such Non-Apollo Holder is not subject to any similar provisions pursuant to a separate arrangement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries:

(a) With respect to each Non-Apollo Holder, during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the second anniversary of the date on which such Non-Apollo Holder’s employment or other professional relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company terminates (whether pursuant to the terms of his or her Employment Agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or otherwise), such Non-Apollo Holder shall not and shall cause its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) not to (without the prior written consent of Apollo) directly or indirectly (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to leave the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, on the one hand, and any employee thereof, on the other hand, (ii) hire any Person who is or at any time was an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company until six (6) months after such individual’s employment relationship with the Company or such Subsidiary has ended, or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to cease doing business with the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation, on the one hand, and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, on the other hand.

(b) With respect to each Non-Apollo Holder, during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the first anniversary of the date on which such Non-Apollo Holder’s employment or other professional relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company terminates (whether pursuant to the terms of his or her Employment Agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or otherwise) (the “Non-Compete Period”), such Non-Apollo Holder shall not and shall cause its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) not to (without the prior written consent of Apollo) directly or indirectly (i) engage in any Competitive Business, (ii) render any services to any Competitive Business in a manner that enhances the capacity of such Competitive Business to engage in the production, sale, provision or distribution of products or services similar to those produced, sold, distributed or provided by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) acquire a financial interest in any Competitive Business. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “directly or indirectly engage in” shall include any direct or indirect ownership or profit participation interest in such enterprise, whether as an owner, stockholder, member, partner, joint venturer of or otherwise, and shall include any direct or indirect participation in such enterprise as an employee, consultant, director, officer, licensor of technology or otherwise. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Competitive Business” shall mean a business that engages in the production, sale, provision or distribution of products or services similar to those produced, sold, distributed or provided by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the period in which such Non-Apollo Holder was employed or retained by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit such Non-Apollo Holder from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding equity securities of any class of a corporation or other entity that is publicly traded, or not more than 2% of any non-voting equity securities or debt securities of any corporation or other entity, so long as such Non-Apollo Holder has no active participation in the business of such corporation or other entity (including serving as a member of the board of directors or as a consultant). The obligations of each Non-Apollo Holder under this Section 12(b) shall apply to any geographic area in which the Company

or its Subsidiaries have engaged in business during such Non-Apollo Holder’s Non-Compete Period.

(c) Each Non-Apollo Holder acknowledges and agrees that, during such time as such Person is employed with, or otherwise has another professional relationship with, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and thereafter, he, she or it shall not (except in the ordinary course promotion of a product or a service of a subsequent employer or a company for which he, she or it is providing products or services), directly or indirectly, issue or communicate any public statement, or statement likely to become public, that is disparaging of or damaging to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any product, practice or service thereof, or, any officer, director or employee thereof or Apollo or any of its officers, directors, members, managers, partners, employees or Affiliated investment funds. The foregoing shall not be violated by truthful responses to legal process or inquiry by a Governmental Authority.

(d) Each Non-Apollo Holder shall, and shall cause its affiliates, employees, counsel and authorized representatives (collectively, “Authorized Representatives”) to, hold in confidence all Confidential Information of the Company, Apollo and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates provided or made available to, or otherwise known by or in the possession of, such Non-Apollo Holder; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not apply to information which: (a) is or becomes generally known to the industry or the public (other than as a result of the breach of this Section 12(d) by such Non-Apollo Holder); or (b) is or becomes available to such Non-Apollo Holder on a non-confidential basis from a source other than (i) the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, or (ii) Apollo or its Affiliates or its or its Affiliates’ limited partners, general partners, directors, members, officers, managers, employees, agents, advisors or representatives. As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means information that is not generally known to the public and that is used, developed or obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Apollo or any of its Affiliates in connection with their respective businesses, including processes, ideas, inventions (whether patentable or not), know-how, schematics, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, patents, designs and all other intellectual property and proprietary information, books, records, financial statements, customer lists, details regarding products and services, marketing information, sales information and all other technical, business, financial, customer and product development plans, forecasts, strategies and information, previously, presently, or subsequently disclosed to a Non-Apollo Holder or a Non-Apollo Holder’s Authorized Representatives, in each case to the extent not generally known to the public. Notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, Confidential Information may be disclosed by a Non-Apollo Holder and its Authorized Representatives when compelled by governmental rule or regulation, or compelled by legal process or court order if such Non-Apollo Holder (and/or its Authorized Representatives) has given the Company or Apollo, as applicable, prompt written notice of such request or order and the Confidential Information to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as reasonably possible so that the Company or Apollo, as applicable, may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance by such Non-Apollo Holder. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a Non-Apollo Holder and its Authorized Representatives shall be entitled to rely conclusively on an opinion of his, her or its nationally recognized outside counsel that such Non-Apollo Holder or Authorized Representative is compelled by governmental rule or regulation, or compelled by legal process or court order, to disclose any such Confidential Information.

(e) Each Non-Apollo Holder acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth above are both (i) in partial consideration for monies received under the Agreement and Plan of Merger and (ii) reasonable and necessary in order for the Company, Apollo and the other Non-Apollo Holders to preserve and protect their legitimate business interests, that irreparable injury will result if such Non-Apollo Holder breaches any of the terms of such covenants and that damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach as set forth in Section 14(j) below. Accordingly, each Non-Apollo Holder acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 12, in addition to any other remedy that may be available at law or in equity, Apollo, the Company and its Subsidiaries will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief.

Section 13. Termination.

Subject to the terms of Section 11(p), this Agreement shall terminate on the first to occur of:

(a) the date the Company consummates a Qualified Public Offering;

(b) the complete liquidation of the Company and its Subsidiaries or the sale, lease or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and

Section 14. Miscellaneous.

(a) Restrictive Legends.

(i) Each certificate for Restricted Shares (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 14(a)(ii)) shall include a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT OR LAWS. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO A STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JULY 21, 2006 BY AND AMONG REXNORD HOLDINGS, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) AND THE OTHER PARTIES NAMED THEREIN. THE TERMS OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT INCLUDE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. A

COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

(ii) Subject to Section 14(b), any holder of Restricted Shares registered that are pursuant to the Securities Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws may exchange any certificate or other evidence of ownership of such Restricted Shares for a certificate or other evidence of ownership with respect to the Common Stock so registered that shall not bear the legend set forth in clause (i) of this Section 14(a).

(b) Compliance with Securities Laws. Upon any proposed Transfer of Restricted Shares, the Company shall not be obligated to register the Transfer of such Restricted Shares on the stock transfer books of the Company until the Company shall have received (i) to the extent required to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and any other applicable laws, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the proposed Transfer of Restricted Shares may be effected without registration under the Securities Act or any such other applicable laws and/or (ii) representation letters in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and any other applicable laws. Each certificate evidencing Restricted Shares transferred as above provided shall bear the legend set forth in Section 14(a)(i), except that such certificate shall not bear such legend if neither such legend nor the restrictions on Transfer in Section 14(a) and Section 14(b) are required in order to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

(c) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, and such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions shall be null and void. It is the intent of the parties, however, that any invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions be automatically replaced by other provisions which are as similar as possible in terms to such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions but are valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(d) Entire Agreement; Termination of RBS Stockholders’ Agreement.

(i) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersedes any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof (including (A) the RBS Stockholders’ Agreement and (B) the provisions set forth across from the sub-heading “Shareholder Agreement” in those certain Management Incentive Compensation Term Sheets dated as of May 24, 2006), except for any Employment Agreements, Option Agreements or agreements relating to Rollover Options.

(ii) The Stockholders hereby acknowledge and agree that, effective as of the Closing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the RBS Stockholders’ Agreement, and with no further action on the part of any party thereto or

hereto, the RBS Stockholders’ Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and none of the parties hereto or thereto shall have any further liability or obligation thereunder whether arising prior to, on or after the date hereof.

(e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company, Apollo and the Non-Apollo Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (or with the prior written consent of Apollo), neither the Company nor the Non-Apollo Holders shall assign or otherwise Transfer their rights or obligations hereunder. Apollo shall have the right to assign or otherwise Transfer its rights and obligations hereunder to its Affiliates.

(f) Modifications; Amendments. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived, except pursuant to a writing signed by the Company, and the holders of a majority of the Common Stock; provided, however, that any such modification, amendment or waiver that adversely affects any Stockholder and is prejudicial to such Stockholder relative to all of the other Stockholders shall not be effected without the consent of such Stockholder.

(g) Waiver. No course of dealing between the Company, Apollo and the Non-Apollo Holders (or any of them) or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder will operate as a waiver of any rights of any party to this Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(h) Table of Contents and Headings. The table of contents and section headings of this Agreement are included for reference purposes only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(i) Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of original or facsimile counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.

(j) Remedies.

(i) Apollo and each Non-Apollo Holder shall have all rights and remedies reserved for Apollo or such Non-Apollo Holder pursuant to this Agreement and the Restated Certificate and the Bylaws and all rights and remedies which Apollo or such Non-Apollo Holder has been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holder has under any law or equity. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement will be entitled to enforce such rights specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law or equity.

(ii) The parties hereto agree that if any parties seek to resolve any dispute arising under this Agreement pursuant to a legal proceeding, the prevailing

parties to such proceeding shall be entitled to receive reasonable fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such proceedings.

(iii) It is acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them and that in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Person will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such Person shall, therefore, be entitled to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

(k) Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder to any party hereto shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person, by telecopy, by nationally-recognized overnight courier, or by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such party at the address set forth below or such other address as may hereafter be designated in writing by the addressee to the addressor:

ALL MATTERS WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT RELATING TO MATTERS OF INTERNAL GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY LAW OR RULE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE TO BE APPLIED. Any dispute or controversy arising under, out of, or in connection with or in relation to this Agreement shall be finally determined and settled by arbitration in New York, New York in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Within 20 days of the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall prepare written findings of fact and conclusions of law. It is mutually agreed that the written decision of the arbitrator shall be valid, binding, final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the parties hereto agree that the arbitrator shall not be empowered to award punitive damages against any party to such arbitration. To the extent permitted by law, the arbitrator’s fees and expenses will be borne equally by each party. In the event that an action is brought to enforce the provisions of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14(l), each party shall pay its own attorney’s fees and expenses regardless of whether in the opinion of the court or arbitrator deciding such action there is a prevailing party. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL, INCLUDING TRIAL BY JURY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

In the event an ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(n) Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed all such further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments, and documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(o) Third Party Beneficiaries. The covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement (i) are being given by the Company as an inducement to the Stockholders to enter into this Agreement (and the Company acknowledges that the Stockholders have expressly relied thereon) and (b) are solely for the benefit of the Stockholders. Accordingly, except as expressly set forth herein (including in Section 8(b)(iii) with respect to directors and officers indemnity insurance), no third party (including, without limitation, any holder of Equity Securities of the Company) or anyone acting on behalf of any thereof, other than the Stockholders and their permitted assignees, shall be a third party or other beneficiary of such covenants and no such third party shall have any rights of contribution against the Stockholders or the Company with respect to such covenants or any matter subject to or resulting in indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.
