     Section 2. Shelf Registrations and Piggy Back Registrations.

          (a) Shelf Registration.

- 4 -

 

          (i) The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the
Commission, no earlier than 15 months following the closing of
the IPO and no later than 18
months following the closing of the IPO, one or more registration statements with respect to
the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act for the offering to be made on a continuous
basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Registration
Statement”), provided that any such Shelf Registration
Statement shall not be used to offer or sell the Registrable Shares
prior to 18 months following the closing of the IPO. The Company
will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf
Registration Statement to be declared
effective by the Commission as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. The Shelf
Registration Statement shall be on an appropriate form and the registration statement and
any form of prospectus included therein (or prospectus supplement relating thereto) shall
reflect the plan of distribution or method of sale as the Holders may from time to time
notify the Company.

          (ii) Effectiveness. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for the period beginning on the
date on which the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective and ending on the date
that all of the Registrable Shares registered under the Shelf Registration Statement cease
to be Registrable Shares. During the period that the Shelf Registration Statement is
effective, the Company shall supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration
Statement, if required by the Securities Act or if reasonably requested by the Holders
(whether or not required by the form on which the securities are being registered),
including to reflect any specific plan of distribution or method of sale, and shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to have such supplements and amendments declared effective,
if required, as soon as practicable after filing.

          (iii) Selection of Underwriters. If any offering pursuant to a Shelf
Registration Statement is an underwritten offering, a majority-in-interest of the Holders
participating in such underwritten offering shall have the right to select the managing
underwriter or underwriters to administer any such offering, which managing underwriter or
underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.

          (b) Piggyback Registrations.

          (i) Right to Piggyback. Subject to Section 2(b)(v), from and after the
18-month anniversary of the closing of the IPO, whenever the Company proposes to register
any of its common equity securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration
statement on Form S-8 or on Form S-4 or any similar successor forms thereto), whether for
its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company, and the
registration form to be used may be used for any registration of Registrable Shares (a
“Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all
Holders of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Sections
2(b)(ii) and
2(b)(iii), shall include in such registration all Registrable
Shares with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein
within 20 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. The Company may postpone or
withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration at any time in its sole
discretion.

          (ii) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters
advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be
included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering and/or
that the number of Registrable Shares proposed to be included in any such registration would
adversely affect the price per share of the Company’s equity securities to be sold in such
offering (such maximum number of securities or Registrable Shares, as applicable, the
“Maximum Threshold”), the underwriting shall be allocated among the Company and all
Holders as follows (A) first, the

- 5 -

 

shares of Common Stock or other securities that the
Company desires to sell that can be sold
without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum
Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or
other securities, if any, comprised of Registrable Shares, as to which registration has been
requested pursuant to the applicable written contractual piggy-back registration rights of
such Holders, pro rata, among the Holders who have elected to participate in such offering
that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (C) third, to the extent that the
Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares
of Common Stock or other securities, if any, comprised of Manager Shares, as to which
registration has been requested pursuant to the applicable written contractual piggy-back
registration rights of the holders thereof, pro rata, among the holders of such Manager
Shares who have elected to participate in such offering that can be sold without exceeding
the Maximum Threshold; (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been
reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other
securities for the account of other Persons that the Company is obligated to register
pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such Persons and that
can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold.

          (iii) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten secondary registration on behalf of a holder of the Company’s securities other
than Registrable Shares, including a holder of Manager Shares (“Non-Holder
Securities”), and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their
opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the
number that can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of Registrable Shares
proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely affect the price per share
of the Company’s equity securities to be sold in such offering, the underwriting shall be
allocated among the holders of Non-Holder Securities and all Holders electing to participate
in such offering pro rata on the basis of the Non-Holder Securities and Registrable Shares
offered for such registration by the holder of Non-Holder Securities and each Holder,
respectively, electing to participate in such registration.

          (iv) Withdrawal. Any Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s request for
inclusion of Registrable Shares in any Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to
the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal
by Persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a
Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
without thereby incurring any liability to the Holders of Registrable Shares.
Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the
Holders in connection with such Piggyback Registration as provided in Section 9(c).

          (v) Limitation on Piggy Back Registrations. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, no Holder shall be entitled to any rights under this Section 2(b),
including the right to receive notice of a Piggyback Registration, unless such Holder holds
in excess of            Registrable Shares.

     Section 3. Black-Out Periods.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3, the Company shall be permitted, in
limited circumstances, to suspend the use, from time to time, of the Prospectus that is part of a
Shelf Registration Statement (and therefore suspend sales of the Registrable Shares under such
Shelf Registration Statement), by providing written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to the
Selling Holders’

- 6 -

 

Counsel, if any, and the Holders and by issuing a press release, making a filing
with the Commission or
such other means that the Company reasonably believes to be a reliable means of communication,
for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable (but in no event
for more than an aggregate of 90 days in any rolling 12-month period commencing on the date of this
Agreement or more than 45 consecutive days, except as a result of a refusal by the Commission to
declare any post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement effective after the
Company has used all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the post-effective amendment to be
declared effective by the Commission, in which case, the Company must terminate the black-out
period immediately following the effective date of the post-effective amendment) if any of the
following events shall occur: a majority of the Board determines in good faith that (i) (A) the
offer or sale of any Registrable Shares would materially impede, delay or interfere with any
proposed financing, offer or sale of securities, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other
material transaction involving the Company, (B) upon the advice of counsel, the sale of Registrable
Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement would require disclosure of non-public material
information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law, and (C) (x) the Company
has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such transaction, (y)
disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to
consummate such transaction, or (z) such transaction renders the Company unable to comply with
Commission requirements, in each case under circumstances that would make it impractical or
inadvisable to cause the Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) to become effective or to
promptly amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement on a post effective basis, as
applicable; or (ii) upon the advice of counsel, it is in the Company’s best interest or it is
required by law, rule or regulation to supplement the Shelf Registration Statement or file a
post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement in order to ensure that the prospectus
included in the Shelf Registration Statement (1) contains the information required under Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (2) discloses any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Shelf Registration Statement (or of the most recent post-effective amendment) that,
individually or in the aggregate, represents a material change in the information set forth
therein; or (3) discloses any material information with respect to the plan of distribution that
was not disclosed in the Shelf Registration Statement or any material change to such information.
Upon the occurrence of any such suspension, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective or to promptly amend or
supplement the Shelf Registration Statement on a post effective basis or to take such action as is
necessary to make resumed use of the Shelf Registration Statement as soon as possible.

          (b) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Shelf Registration
Statement as set forth in paragraph (a) above (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall
give a Suspension Notice to the Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and the Holders to suspend sales
of the Registrable Shares and such notice shall state generally the basis for the notice and that
such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing
and the Company is using its commercially reasonable efforts and taking all reasonable steps to
terminate suspension of the use of the Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as possible. A
Holder shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Shelf Registration
Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company
and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). If so directed by the
Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies other
than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession of the prospectus covering the
Registrable Shares at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The Holders may recommence
effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (or such
filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”)
from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders and
to the Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event
and its effect.

accordance with any method or combination of methods legally available by the Holders of any

applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, and do any and
all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each such
Holder and underwriter to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such
Registrable Shares owned by such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any

Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements
thereto become effective, (2) of any request by the Commission or any state securities
authority for post-effective amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement and
prospectus or for additional information after the Registration Statement has become

warranties of the Company contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales
agreement or other similar agreement, if any, relating to the offering cease to be true and
correct in all material respects, (5) of the happening of any event or the discovery of any
facts during the period a Registration Statement is effective as a result of which such

therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or, in the case of the
prospectus, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any 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 (which information shall be
accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Registration Statement and the

          (ix) cooperate with the selling Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates representing Registrable Shares to be sold and not bearing any

the occurrence of such an event, use its best efforts to prepare a supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or the related prospectus or any
document incorporated
therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Shares, such prospectus will not contain at
the time of such delivery any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under

made by issuers to underwriters in similar Underwritten Offerings as may be
reasonably requested by them;

          (B) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which
counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory

such underwriters in similar types of transactions; and

          (xv) a reasonable time prior to filing any Registration Statement, any prospectus

SAS 72, a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company’s independent public

therefor reasonably requests;

          (xvii) use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on any
national securities exchange;

          (xviii) otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission

the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

          (xix) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the FINRA and in the
performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter and its counsel (including
any “qualified independent underwriter” that is required to be retained in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the FINRA); and

          (xx) the Company may (as a condition to a Holder’s participation in a Shelf
Registration or Piggyback Registration) require each Holder of Registrable Shares to furnish
to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the proposed distribution by such
Holder of such Registrable Shares as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in
writing.

     Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any
event or the discovery of any facts of the type described in Section 4(a)(v) hereof, such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration
Statement relating to such Registrable Shares until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4(a)(v) hereof, and, if so
directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all
copies in such Holder’s possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s
possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Shares current at the time of receipt of
such notice.

     Section 5. Indemnification.

          (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
each Holder, and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and
agents of any such Person, and each Person (a “Controlling Person”), if any, who controls
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any of
the foregoing Persons, as follows:

          (i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment, actions, other
liabilities and expense whatsoever (the “Liabilities”), as incurred, arising out of
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement

- 12 -

 

(or any amendment or supplement thereto) pursuant to which
Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act, including all documents
incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or
alleged omission therefrom at such date of a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading;

          (ii) against any and all Liabilities, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate
amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon
any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission;
provided that (subject to Section 5(d) below) any such settlement is effected with
the written consent of the Company; and

          (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and
disbursements of counsel chosen by any indemnified party), reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or
proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue
statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph
(i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any Liabilities to the extent
arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holder
expressly for use in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto).

          (b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder severally, but not jointly, agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other selling Holders, and each of their respective
officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents, and each of their respective
Controlling Persons, against any and all Liabilities described in the indemnity contained in
Section 5(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions,
or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment
thereto) or any prospectus included therein (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information with respect to such Holder furnished to the
Company by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto)
or such prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided, however, that no such Holder
shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such
Holder from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement.

          (c) Notices of Claims, etc. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as
reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action or proceeding commenced against it
in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure so to notify an indemnifying
party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is
not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. An indemnifying
party may participate at its own expense in the defense of such action; provided, however, that
counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also
be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable
for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in

- 13 -

 

addition to any local counsel) separate from
their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whosoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be
sought
under this Section 5 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential
parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional
release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation,
proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

          (d) Indemnification Payments. If at any time an indemnified party shall have
requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of
counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature
contemplated by Section 5(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such
settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such
settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying
party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the
date of such settlement.

          (e) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is
for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of
any Liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate
amount of such Liabilities incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the
other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Liabilities, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

     The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the other hand shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

     The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this
Section 5. The aggregate amount of Liabilities incurred by an indemnified party and
referred to above in this Section 5 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission.

     No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

     For purposes of this Section 5, each Person, if any, who controls the a Holder within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the
same rights to contribution as a Holder, and each director of the Company, and each Person, if any,
who controls the

- 14 -

 

Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

     Section 6. Market Stand-Off Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it shall not,
directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell (including without limitation any short sale), pledge,
contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell,
grant any option, right
or warrant for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Registrable Shares or other
Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock
then owned by such Holder (other than to permitted transferees of the Holder who agree to be
similarly bound) for up to 90 days following the date of an underwriting agreement with respect to
an underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities or
such shorter period as the managing underwriters shall agree to; provided, however, that:

          (a) the restrictions above shall not apply to Registrable Shares sold on the Holder’s behalf
to the public in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to such Registration Statement;

          (b) all officers and directors of the Company then holding Common Stock or securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock enter into similar agreements for
not less than the entire time period required of the Holders hereunder; and

          (c) the Holders shall be allowed any concession or proportionate release allowed to any (i)
officer, (ii) director, (iii) other holder of the Company’s Common Stock that entered into similar
agreements (with such proportion being determined by dividing the number of shares being released
with respect to such officer, director or other holder of the Company’s Common Stock by the total
number of issued and outstanding shares held by such officer, director or holder).

     In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to place
restrictive legends on the certificates representing the securities subject to this Section
6 and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Shares and such
other securities of each Holder (and the securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing
restriction) until the end of such period.

     Section 7. Termination; Survival. The rights of each Holder under this Agreement
shall terminate upon the date that all of the Registrable Shares cease to be Registrable Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the parties under Sections 5 and
6 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect following such time.

     Section 8. Miscellaneous.

          (a) Covenants Relating To Rule 144. For so long as the Company is subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the Securities Act, the Company covenants that it
will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder. If
the Company ceases to be so required to file such reports, the Company covenants that it will upon
the request of any Holder of Registrable Shares (a) make publicly available such information as is
necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (b) deliver such
information to a prospective purchaser as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under
the Securities Act and it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Shares may
reasonably request, and (c) take such further action that is reasonable in the circumstances, in
each case to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell its Registrable
Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time,
(ii) Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (iii)
any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any

- 15 -

 

Holder of Registrable Shares, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to
whether it has complied with such requirements (at any time after 90 days after the effective date
of the first Registration Statement filed by the Company for an offering of its Common Stock to the
general public) and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become
subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), a copy of the most recent annual and
quarterly report(s) of the Company, and such other reports, documents or stockholder communications
of the Company, and take
such further actions consistent with this Section 8(a), as a Holder may reasonably
request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell
any such Registrable Shares without registration.

          (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered into and the Company will
not after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights
granted to the Holders of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with
the provisions of this Agreement. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not and will not
for the term of this Agreement in any way conflict with the rights granted to the holders of the
Company’s other issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements.

          (c) Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any Registration
Statement shall be borne by the Company, whether or not any Registration Statement related thereto
becomes effective.

          (d) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived
at any time only by the written agreement of the Company and the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Shares; provided, however, that the provisions of this Agreement may not be amended or
waived without the consent of the Holders of all the Registrable Shares adversely affected by such
amendment or waiver if such amendment or waiver adversely affects a portion of the Registrable
Shares but does not so adversely affect all of the Registrable Shares; provided, further, that the
provisions of the preceding provision may not be amended or waived except in accordance with this
sentence. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any such
Holders of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be made in writing and shall be
effective only to the extent specifically set forth in writing. Any amendment or waiver effected
in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each Holder of Registrable Shares and the
Company.

          (e) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder
shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered first-class mail, facsimile or any courier
guaranteeing overnight delivery (a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such
Holder to the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8(e) and (b) if to the Company, to Provident Mortgage Capital Associates, Inc.,
851 Traeger Avenue, Suite 380, San Bruno, CA 94066, Attention: Mark Lefanowicz (facsimile:
650-652-1350).

     All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time
delivered by hand, if personally delivered; two Business Days after being deposited in the mail,
postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is acknowledged, if sent by facsimile (provided
confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the
sending party) and on the next Business Day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing
overnight delivery.

          (f) Successor and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without
limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of
Registrable Shares in violation of the terms of the Private Placement Purchase Agreement. If any
transferee of any Holder shall

- 16 -

 

acquire Registrable Shares, in any manner, whether by operation of
law or otherwise, such Registrable Shares shall be held subject to all of the terms of this
Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Shares such person shall be conclusively
deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, including the restrictions on resale set forth in this Agreement and, if applicable, the
Private Placement Purchase Agreement, and such person shall be entitled to receive the benefits
hereof.

          (g) Specific Enforcement. Without limiting the remedies available to the Holders, the
Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under
Section 2 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Holders for which there
is no adequate remedy at law, that it would not be possible to measure damages for such injuries
precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, a Holder may obtain such relief as may be
required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Section 2 hereof.

          (h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be
an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

          (i) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

          (j) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          (k) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained
herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

     Section 2. Shelf Registrations and Piggy Back Registrations.

          (a) Shelf Registration.

          (i) The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the
Commission, no earlier than 24 months following the closing of the IPO and no later than 26
months following the closing of the IPO, one or more registration statements with respect to
the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act for the offering to be made on a continuous
basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Registration
Statement”). The

- 4 -

 

Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf
Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable
after the filing thereof. The Shelf Registration Statement shall be on an appropriate form
and the registration statement and any form of prospectus included therein (or prospectus
supplement relating thereto) shall reflect the plan of distribution or method of sale as the
Holders may from time to time notify the Company.

          (ii) Effectiveness. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for the period beginning on the
date on which the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective and ending on the date
that all of the Registrable Shares registered under the Shelf Registration Statement cease
to be Registrable Shares. During the period that the Shelf Registration Statement is
effective, the Company shall supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration
Statement if required by the Securities Act or if reasonably requested by the Holders
(whether or not required by the form on which the securities are being registered),
including to reflect any specific plan of distribution or method of sale, and shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to have such supplements and amendments declared effective,
if required, as soon as practicable after filing; provided that in no event shall the
Company be required to file an amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement to increase the
amount of Registrable Shares included in the Shelf Registration Statement unless the amount
of additional Registrable Shares to be included pursuant to such amendment exceeds $
        .

          (iii) Selection of Underwriters. If any offering pursuant to a Shelf
Registration Statement is an underwritten offering, a majority-in-interest of the Holders
participating in such underwritten offering shall have the right to select the managing
underwriter or underwriters to administer any such offering, which managing underwriter or
underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.

          (b) Piggyback Registrations.

          (i) Right to Piggyback. Subject to Section 2(b)(v), from and after the
24-month anniversary of the closing of the IPO, whenever the Company proposes to register
any of its common equity securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration
statement on Form S-8 or on Form S-4 or any similar successor forms thereto), whether for
its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company, and the
registration form to be used may be used for any registration of Registrable Shares (a
“Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all
Holders of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to
Sections 2(b)(ii) and 2(b)(iii), shall include in such registration all
Registrable Shares with respect to which the Company has received written requests for
inclusion therein within 20 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. The Company may
postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration at any time
in its sole discretion.

          (ii) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters
advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be
included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering and/or
that the number of Registrable Shares proposed to be included in any such registration would
adversely affect the price per share of the Company’s equity securities to be sold in such
offering (such maximum number of securities or Registrable Shares, as applicable, the
“Maximum Threshold”), the underwriting shall be allocated among the Company and all
Holders as follows (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the
Company desires to sell that can be sold

- 5 -

 

without exceeding the Maximum Threshold;
(B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the
foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, comprised of
Private Placement Shares, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the
applicable written contractual piggy-back registration rights of such holders thereof, pro
rata, among the holders of such Private Placement Shares who have elected to participate in
such offering that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (C) third, to the
extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and
(B), the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, comprised of Registrable
Shares, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the applicable written
contractual piggy-back registration rights of the Holders thereof, pro rata, among the
Holders who have elected to participate in such offering that can be sold without exceeding
the Maximum Threshold; (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been
reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other
securities for the account of other Persons that the Company is obligated to register
pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such Persons and that
can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold.

          (iii) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten secondary registration on behalf of a holder of the Company’s securities other
than Registrable Shares, including a holder of Private Placement Shares (“Non-Holder
Securities”), and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their
opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the
number that can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of Registrable Shares
proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely affect the price per share
of the Company’s equity securities to be sold in such offering, the underwriting shall be
allocated among the holders of Non-Holder Securities and all Holders electing to participate
in such offering pro rata on the basis of the Non-Holder Securities and Registrable Shares
offered for such registration by the holder of Non-Holder Securities and each Holder,
respectively, electing to participate in such registration.

          (iv) Withdrawal. Any Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s request for
inclusion of Registrable Shares in any Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to
the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal
by Persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a
Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
without thereby incurring any liability to the Holders of Registrable Shares.
Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the
Holders in connection with such Piggyback Registration as provided in Section 9(c).

          (v) Limitation on Piggy Back Registrations. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, no Holder shall be entitled to any rights under this Section 2(b),
including the right to receive notice of a Piggyback Registration, unless such Holder holds
in excess of         Registrable Shares.

     Section 3. Black-Out Periods.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3, the Company shall be permitted, in
limited circumstances, to suspend the use, from time to time, of the Prospectus that is part of a
Shelf Registration Statement (and therefore suspend sales of the Registrable Shares under such
Shelf Registration Statement), by providing written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to the
Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and the Holders and by issuing a press release, making a filing
with the Commission or 

- 6 -

 

such other means that the Company reasonably believes to be a reliable means
of communication, for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable
(but in no event for more than an aggregate of 90 days in any rolling 12-month period commencing on
the date of this Agreement or more than 45 consecutive days, except as a result of a refusal by the
Commission to declare any post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement effective
after the Company has used all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the post-effective
amendment to be declared effective by the Commission, in which case, the Company must terminate the
black-out period immediately following the effective date of the post-effective amendment) if any
of the following events shall occur: a majority of the Board determines in good faith that (i) (A)
the offer or sale of any Registrable Shares would materially impede, delay or interfere with any
proposed financing, offer or sale of securities, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other
material transaction involving the Company, (B) upon the advice of counsel, the sale of Registrable
Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement would require disclosure of non-public material
information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law, and (C) (x) the Company
has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such transaction, (y)
disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to
consummate such transaction, or (z) such transaction renders the Company unable to comply with
Commission requirements, in each case under circumstances that would make it impractical or
inadvisable to cause the Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) to become effective or to
promptly amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement on a post effective basis, as
applicable; or (ii) upon the advice of counsel, it is in the Company’s best interest or it is
required by law, rule or regulation to supplement the Shelf Registration Statement or file a
post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement in order to ensure that the prospectus
included in the Shelf Registration Statement (1) contains the information required under Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (2) discloses any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Shelf Registration Statement (or of the most recent post-effective amendment) that,
individually or in the aggregate, represents a material change in the information set forth
therein; or (3) discloses any material information with respect to the plan of distribution that
was not disclosed in the Shelf Registration Statement or any material change to such information.
Upon the occurrence of any such suspension, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective or to promptly amend or
supplement the Shelf Registration Statement on a post effective basis or to take such action as is
necessary to make resumed use of the Shelf Registration Statement as soon as possible.

          (b) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Shelf Registration
Statement as set forth in paragraph (a) above (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall
give a Suspension Notice to the Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and the Holders to suspend sales
of the Registrable Shares and such notice shall state generally the basis for the notice and that
such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing
and the Company is using its commercially reasonable efforts and taking all reasonable steps to
terminate suspension of the use of the Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as possible. A
Holder shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Shelf Registration
Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company
and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). If so directed by the
Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies other
than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession of the prospectus covering the
Registrable Shares at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The Holders may recommence
effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (or such
filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”)
from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders and
to the Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event
and its effect.

therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Shares, such prospectus will not
contain at the time of such delivery any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or will remain so qualified, as

writing.

event or the discovery of any facts of the type described in Section 4(a)(v) hereof, such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration

possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Shares current at the time of receipt of

statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under
subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any Liabilities to the extent
arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holder
expressly for use in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto).

          (b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder severally, but not jointly, agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other selling Holders, and each of their respective
officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents, and each of their respective
Controlling Persons, against any and all Liabilities described in the indemnity contained in
Section 5(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions,
or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment
thereto) or any prospectus included therein (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information with respect to such Holder furnished to the
Company by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto)
or such prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided, however, that no such Holder
shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such
Holder from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement.

          (c) Notices of Claims, etc. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as
reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action or proceeding commenced against it
in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure so to notify an indemnifying
party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is
not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. An indemnifying
party may participate at its own expense in the defense of such action; provided, however, that
counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also
be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable
for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from
their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whosoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be
sought 

- 13 -

 

under this Section 5 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential
parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional
release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation,
proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

          (d) Indemnification Payments. If at any time an indemnified party shall have
requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of
counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature
contemplated by Section 5(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such
settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such
settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying
party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the
date of such settlement.

          (e) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is
for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of
any Liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate
amount of such Liabilities incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the
other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Liabilities, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

     The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the other hand shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

     The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this
Section 5. The aggregate amount of Liabilities incurred by an indemnified party and
referred to above in this Section 5 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission.

     No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

     For purposes of this Section 5, each Person, if any, who controls the a Holder within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the
same rights to contribution as a Holder, and each director of the Company, and each Person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

     Section 6. Market Stand-Off Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it shall not,
directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell (including without limitation any short sale), pledge,
contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell,
grant any option, right

- 14 -

 

or warrant for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or transfer any
Registrable Shares or other Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for Common Stock then owned by such Holder (other than to permitted transferees of the
Holder who agree to be similarly bound) for up to 90 days following the date of an underwriting
agreement with respect to an underwritten public offering of the
Company’s securities or such shorter period as the managing
underwriters shall agree to; provided,
however, that:

          (a) the restrictions above shall not apply to Registrable Shares sold on the Holder’s behalf
to the public in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to such Registration Statement;

          (b) all officers and directors of the Company then holding Common Stock or securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock enter into similar agreements for
not less than the entire time period required of the Holders hereunder; and

          (c) the Holders shall be allowed any concession or proportionate release allowed to any (i)
officer, (ii) director, (iii) other holder of the Company’s Common Stock that entered into similar
agreements (with such proportion being determined by dividing the number of shares being released
with respect to such officer, director or other holder of the Company’s Common Stock by the total
number of issued and outstanding shares held by such officer, director or holder).

     In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to place
restrictive legends on the certificates representing the securities subject to this
Section 6 and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Shares
and such other securities of each Holder (and the securities of every other Person subject to the
foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

     Section 7. Termination; Survival. The rights of each Holder under this Agreement
shall terminate upon the date that all of the Registrable Shares cease to be Registrable Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the parties under Sections 5 and
6 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect following such time.

     Section 8. Miscellaneous.

          (a) Covenants Relating To Rule 144. For so long as the Company is subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the Securities Act, the Company covenants that it
will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder. If
the Company ceases to be so required to file such reports, the Company covenants that it will upon
the request of any Holder of Registrable Shares (a) make publicly available such information as is
necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (b) deliver such
information to a prospective purchaser as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under
the Securities Act and it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Shares may
reasonably request, and (c) take such further action that is reasonable in the circumstances, in
each case to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell its Registrable
Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time,
(ii) Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or
(iii) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of
any Holder of Registrable Shares, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to
whether it has complied with such requirements (at any time after 90 days after the effective date
of the first Registration Statement filed by the Company for an offering of its Common Stock to the
general public) and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become
subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), a copy of the most recent annual and
quarterly report(s) of the Company, and such other reports, documents or stockholder communications
of the Company, and take

- 15 -

 

such further actions consistent with this Section 8(a), as a
Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission
allowing a Holder to sell any such Registrable Shares without registration.

          (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered into and the Company will
not after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights
granted to the Holders of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with
the provisions of this Agreement. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not and will not
for the term of this Agreement in any way conflict with the rights granted to the holders of the
Company’s other issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements.

          (c) Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any Registration
Statement shall be borne by the Company, whether or not any Registration Statement related thereto
becomes effective.

          (d) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived
at any time only by the written agreement of the Company and the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Shares; provided, however, that the provisions of this Agreement may not be amended or
waived without the consent of the Holders of all the Registrable Shares adversely affected by such
amendment or waiver if such amendment or waiver adversely affects a portion of the Registrable
Shares but does not so adversely affect all of the Registrable Shares; provided, further, that the
provisions of the preceding provision may not be amended or waived except in accordance with this
sentence. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any such
Holders of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be made in writing and shall be
effective only to the extent specifically set forth in writing. Any amendment or waiver effected
in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each Holder of Registrable Shares and the
Company.

          (e) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder
shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered first-class mail, facsimile or any courier
guaranteeing overnight delivery (a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such
Holder to the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8(e) and (b) if to the Company, to Provident Mortgage Capital Associates, Inc.,
851 Traeger Avenue, Suite 380, San Bruno, California 94066, Attention: Mark Lefanowicz (facsimile:
650-652-1350).

     All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time
delivered by hand, if personally delivered; two Business Days after being deposited in the mail,
postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is acknowledged, if sent by facsimile (provided
confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the
sending party) and on the next Business Day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing
overnight delivery.

          (f) Successor and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without
limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent
Holders; provided, however,, that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other
disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of the Management Agreement. If any transferee
of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Shares, in any manner, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, such Registrable Shares shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and
by taking and holding such Registrable Shares such person shall be conclusively deemed to have
agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including
the restrictions on resale set forth in this Agreement, and, if applicable, the Management Agreement, and such person shall be entitled to
receive the benefits hereof.

          (g) Specific Enforcement. Without limiting the remedies available to the Holders, the
Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under

- 16 -

 

Section 2 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Holders for which there
is no adequate remedy at law, that it would not be possible to measure damages for such injuries
precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, a Holder may obtain such relief as may be
required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Section 2 hereof.

          (h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be
an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

          (i) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

          (j) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          (k) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained
herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
