Exhibit 10.1

THE TORO COMPANY

CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE COMPENSATION POLICY

ARTICLE I  — INTRODUCTION

     Section 1.1 Background. The Board of Directors of The Toro Company has considered the
effect a Change in Control of the Company may have on certain Executives of the Company. The Board
has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that
the Company will have the continued dedication of its Executives, notwithstanding the possibility,
threat or occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company. The Board believes it is imperative to
diminish the inevitable distraction of its Executives by virtue of the personal uncertainties and
risks, including personal financial risks, created by a pending or threatened Change in Control of
the Company.

     Section 1.2 Purpose. This Policy is designed to encourage the Executives’ full
attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any threatened or pending
Change in Control transaction and, notwithstanding the outcome of any such proposed transaction, to
assure fair treatment of such Executives in the event of a Change in Control of the Company.

ARTICLE II  — ESTABLISHMENT OF THE POLICY

     Section 2.1 Applicability of Policy. The benefits provided by this Policy shall be
available to all Executives who, at or after the Effective Date, meet the eligibility requirements
of Article IV hereof.

     Section 2.2 Contractual Right to Benefits. Subject to the provisions of Article VIII
hereof, this Policy establishes and vests in each Participant a contractual right to the benefits
to which he or she is entitled hereunder, enforceable by the Participant against the Company on the
terms and subject to the conditions hereof.

ARTICLE III  — DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION

     Section 3.1 Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings when
used in this Policy with initial capital letters:

     (a) “Base Pay” of a Participant means the Participant’s annual base salary from

reductions in Base Pay following the date of the Change in Control will not be taken into
account when determining Base Pay hereunder.

     (b) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

(20%) or more of either (A) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the
Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”), or (B) the combined voting
power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote

“Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of
the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a member of the
Board subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by
the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the
members of the Board then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as
though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this
purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result
of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal
of members of the Board or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

     (iii) Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company
or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company or the acquisition by the Company of assets or stock of another entity (a
“Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business
Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were
the Beneficial Owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and

resulting from such Business Combination (including a corporation which as a result
of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets either directly

2

 

or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the
same proportions
as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the
Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the
case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business
Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such
corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or

Company, the President of the Company, a Vice President of the Company, or any other person
to whom a Vice President of the Company reports, including a Chief Operating Officer of the
Company.

     (i) “Good Reason” means, without the express written consent of the
Participant:

     (i) the assignment to the Participant of any duties inconsistent in any
substantial respect with the Participant’s position (including status, office or
title), authority or responsibilities as in effect during the 120-day

3

 

period
immediately preceding the Change in Control, which assignment
results in a substantial diminution in such position, authority or

or responsibilities, excluding an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not
taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company as set forth below;

     (ii) the substantial diminution in position (including status, office or
title), authority or responsibilities or any other substantial adverse change in the
position, authority or responsibilities of the individual to whom the Participant is
required to report;

     (iii) the substantial diminution in the budget over which the Participant

     (iv) any failure by the Company to furnish the Participant with compensation
(including Base Salary and Incentive Pay) and benefits at a level substantially
equal to or exceeding those received by the Participant from the Company or any
Subsidiary during the 120-day period preceding the Change in Control, other than (A)
an insubstantial and inadvertent failure remedied by the Company as set forth below,
(B) a reduction in compensation which is applied to all non-union employees of the
Company in the same dollar amount or percentage, or (C) a reduction or modification

     (vii) any purported termination of the Participant’s employment other than as
expressly permitted by this Policy; or

     (viii) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 7.1 of
this Policy.

     Before a termination by the Participant under this Section 3.1(i) will constitute
termination for Good Reason, the Participant must give the Company a Notice of Termination
within 30 calendar days of the occurrence of the event that constitutes Good Reason.
Failure to provide such Notice of Termination within such 30-day period shall be conclusive
proof that the Participant shall not have Good Reason to terminate employment.

4

 

     For purposes of this Section 3.1(i), Good Reason shall exist only if the Company fails
to remedy the event or events constituting Good Reason within 30 calendar days after receipt
of the Notice of Termination from the Participant. If the Participant determines that Good

shall be presumed to be true and the Company will have the burden of proving that Good
Reason does not exist.

the Participant for the year in which the Termination Date occurs under the Company’s 2010

Participant (i) participates in fraud or embezzlement, in each case related to the Company
or its Subsidiaries, (ii) intentionally engages in other unlawful or criminal activity of a
serious nature in connection with his or her duties as an Executive which causes or may
reasonably be expected to cause substantial economic injury to or substantial injury to the
reputation of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (iii) enters a guilty plea with respect to or
is convicted of a felony that causes or may reasonably be expected to cause substantial
economic injury to or substantial injury to the reputation of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, (iv) commits any intentional and deliberate breach of his or her duties that,
individually or in the aggregate, are material in relation to the Participant’s overall
duties and cause or are reasonably expected to cause substantial economic injury to or
substantial injury to the reputation of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (iv) materially
breaches any confidentiality or noncompete agreement entered into with the Company. The
Company shall have the burden of proving that Just Cause exists.

     For purposes of this Policy, the Participant shall not be deemed to have been
terminated for “Just Cause” hereunder unless (A) the Participant receives a Notice of
Termination setting forth the grounds for the termination at least 30 calendar days prior to
the specified Termination Date, (B) if requested by the Participant, the Participant (and/or
the Participant’s counsel or other representative) is granted a hearing before the Board,

claimed to provide a basis for termination of employment under the provision indicated.

Article IV hereof, other than an Executive who has entered into an employment, severance or
other similar agreement with the Company (other than a stock option or performance share
award agreement or other form of equity award agreement or participation document entered
into pursuant to a Company-sponsored plan which may incidentally refer to accelerated
vesting or accelerated payment upon a change in control (as defined in such separate plan or
document)) which becomes operative upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company
(as defined in such agreement).

     (n) “Policy” means this Change in Control Severance Compensation Policy.

     (o) “Protection Period” means the period of time commencing on the date of the
first occurrence of a Change in Control and continuing until the third anniversary of the
occurrence of the Change in Control.

     (p) “Severance Payment” means the payment of severance compensation as provided
in Article V hereof.

     (q) “Subsidiary” means any corporation or other legal entity a majority of the
securities of which are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary of the Company.

     (r) “Termination Date” means, (i) with respect to a termination by the Company
for Just Cause, the date on which the Participant’s employment is terminated as stated in
the Notice of Termination, and (ii) with respect to a termination by the Participant for
Good Reason, the date that is 30 calendar days following the Company’s receipt of the Notice
of Termination, modified to the extent necessary to be consistent with the requirements of
Section 3.2(c) below.

Section 3.2 Status of Policy/Applicable Law.

     (a) This Policy is classified as a “payroll practice” and is not a “plan” that is
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended. The Policy will be interpreted and administered accordingly.

     (b) This Policy shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to principles of
conflicts of laws.

6

 

     (c) Payment of amounts, including any Severance Payments, under this Policy are
intended to comply with an exception to or exclusion from the requirements of Code Section
409A to the maximum extent possible and, to the extent Code Section 409A is applicable to
any payments or benefits, this Policy is intended to comply with the requirements of Code
Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Policy to the contrary, this
Policy shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with such
intentions. The payments or benefits to be made or provided under this Policy, including
any Severance Payments, are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A
because they are (i) non-taxable benefits, (ii) welfare benefits within the meaning of
Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(a)(5), (iii) short-term deferrals under Treas. Reg. Sec.
1.409A-1(b)(4), or (iv) payments under a separation pay plan within the meaning of Treas.
Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(b)(9). For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment under this Policy
shall be treated as a separate payment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
and notwithstanding any other provision of this Policy to the contrary, all references in
this Policy to the termination of the Participant’s employment or separation from service
(including the date of such termination or separation or Termination Date) are intended to
mean the Participant’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Code Section
409A(a)(2)(A)(i). All reimbursements or in-kind benefits to be made under this Policy that
constitute deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A shall be made in accordance
with the requirements of Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). If, at the time of
Participant’s termination of employment, Participant is a “specified employee” within the
meaning of Code Section 409A, then any payment of an amount that is deferred compensation
subject to Code Section 409A and payable on account of a separation from service shall be
suspended and not made until the first business day following the end of the six (6) month
period following the Participant’s termination of employment, or if earlier, upon the
Participant’s date of death.

     Section 3.3 Severability. If a provision of this Policy shall be held illegal or
invalid, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Policy and this
Policy shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been
included.

ARTICLE IV  — ELIGIBILITY

     Section 4.1 Participation. Each person who is an Executive on the Effective Date
shall be a Participant on the Effective Date. Thereafter, each other person who becomes an
Executive prior to both (a) a Change in Control, and (b) unless specifically provided for by the
Board at the time a Participant is elected as an Executive, the date a notice of termination of the
Policy is provided under Section 8.1(a), shall automatically become a Participant on the day on
which such person becomes an Executive.

7

 

     Section 4.2 Duration of Participation. A Participant shall cease to be a Participant
and shall have no rights hereunder, without further action, when he or she ceases to be an
Executive, unless such Participant is then entitled to payment of a Severance Payment as provided
in Section 5.1 hereof. A Participant entitled to a Severance Payment shall remain a Participant in
this Policy until the full amount of the Severance Payment has been paid to the Participant.

ARTICLE V  — SEVERANCE PAYMENTS

Section 5.1 Right to Severance Payment.

     (a) Subject to Subsection (c) hereof, a Participant shall be entitled to receive from
the Company a Severance Payment in the amount provided in Section 5.2 hereof if there has
been a Change in Control and if, after a Change in Control and within the Protection Period,
(i) the Participant’s employment by the Company shall be terminated by the Company without
Just Cause, or (ii) the Participant shall terminate employment with the Company for Good
Reason.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Policy, any termination
of employment of the Participant or removal of the Participant from the office or position
in the Company that occurs prior to a Change in Control but which the Participant reasonably
demonstrates occurred at the request of a third party who had taken steps reasonably
calculated to effect the Change in Control shall be deemed to be a termination or removal of
the Participant after a Change in Control for purposes of this Policy.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Policy, a Participant
shall not be entitled to receive any Severance Payment hereunder unless within 65 days of
the Participant’s termination (i) he or she has signed and returned to the Company a release
substantially in the form attached to this Policy as Attachment A, and (ii) any
applicable rescission period for such release has expired. The Company shall provide a form
of release to the Participant not later than 5 days following the Participant’s Termination
Date.

Section 5.2 Amount of Severance Payment.

     (a) Each Participant entitled to a Severance Payment under this Policy shall receive
the following Severance Payment from the Company.

     (i) A lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to (A) for any Participant who
is designated as the Chief Executive Officer, three times the sum of Base Pay plus
Incentive Pay, and (B) for any other Participant, two times the sum of Base Pay plus
Incentive Pay; provided, however, that the amount of such cash payment
determined pursuant to this Section 5.2(a)(i) shall be reduced by an amount equal to
the aggregate amount of any other cash payments in the nature of severance payments

8

 

paid or
payable by the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to any agreement, policy, program,
arrangement or requirement of statutory or common law (other than this Policy or
cash payments received in lieu of stock incentives); and

     (ii) A lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to (A) the Incentive Pay for
the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, pro rated to reflect days
elapsed during the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs divided by 365
days times the Incentive Pay (expressed as a dollar amount), and (B) reduced by any
amounts paid under the terms of the applicable incentive bonus policy itself for the
same period of time.

     (b) In addition to amounts provided for in section (a) above, each Participant entitled
to a Severance Payment under this Policy shall also be entitled to the additional Severance
Payments from the Company:

     (i) for a period of two years following the Termination Date, reimbursement for
reasonable fees for outplacement services by a firm selected by the Participant and
at the expense of the Company; and

     (ii) for a period of three years following the Termination Date (A) eligibility
for continuation coverage pursuant to or consistent with Section 4980B of the Code
(or any successor provision thereto) under the Company’s medical, dental and other
group health plans, or successor plans as in effect from time to time, and (B)
reimbursement for any costs incurred in securing such continuation coverage that are
in excess of costs that would have been incurred by the Participant immediately
prior to the Termination Date to obtain such coverage. To the extent necessary to
comply with the requirements of Code Section 105(h) or other non-discrimination
requirements, the value of the group health plan coverage under this provision, less
amounts paid for such coverage, shall be taxed to the Participant.

     (c) The Participant shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of his or
her Severance Payment by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of such
payment be reduced by any compensation earned by the Participant as a result of employment
after the termination of his or her employment by the Company.

     Section 5.3 Time of Severance Payment. The Severance Payment to which a Participant
is entitled under Section 5.2(a) shall be paid to the Participant by the Company in cash and in
full on the
65th day following the Participant’s Termination Date. The Severance Payment
to which a Participant is entitled under Section 5.2(b) shall be paid to the Participant in cash or
in-kind not less frequently than on a semi-annual basis, subject to Section 5.1(c). If a
Participant should die before all amounts payable to him

9

 

or her under this Policy have been paid, such unpaid amounts shall be paid to the personal
representative of the Participant’s estate.

     Section 5.4 Liability for Payment. The Company shall be solely liable for and shall
pay the Severance Payments (or cause the Severance Payments to be paid) to the Participant.

ARTICLE VI  — OTHER RIGHTS AND BENEFITS NOT AFFECTED

     Section 6.1 Other Benefits. Neither the provisions of this Policy nor the Severance
Payment provided for hereunder shall reduce or increase any amounts otherwise payable, or in any
other way affect a Participant’s rights as an employee of the Company, whether existing now or
hereafter, under any benefit, incentive, retirement, stock option, stock bonus, stock purchase or
employment agreement, policy (other than this Policy), program or arrangement (collectively, the
“Other Plans”), except to the extent specifically provided in such Other Plans. Notwithstanding
the generality of the foregoing, each Participant is entitled to receive any Base Salary accrued
but unpaid as of the Termination Date, vacation accrued but unused as the Termination Date, and any
other bonus, incentive or other pay or employee benefits that are accrued but unpaid as of the
Termination Date. Further, and notwithstanding the forgoing or the terms of any outstanding
performance share awards, any and all performance share awards granted to a Participant Change in
Control that have not vested as of the Change in Control, shall vest as of date of the Change in
Control and be paid out at target (not maximum). The manner of payout of any such performance
share awards to which a Participant is entitled shall be paid to the Participant by the Company as
provided for in the applicable award agreement or plan under which such awards were granted.

     Section 6.2 Certain Limitations. This Policy does not constitute a contract of
employment or impose on any Participant or the Company any obligation to retain any Participant as
an employee or in any other capacity, to change or not change the status, terms or conditions of
any Participant’s employment, or to change or not change the Company’s policies regarding
termination of employment.

ARTICLE VII  — SUCCESSORS SECTION

     Section 7.1 Successors. Without limiting the obligations of any person or entity
under applicable law, the Company shall require any successor or assignee, whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, reorganization, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially
all the business or assets of the Company, expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to
perform the Company’s obligations under this Policy, in the same manner and to the same extent that
the Company would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place. In
such event, the term “Company,” as used in this Policy, shall mean the Company as hereinbefore
defined and any successor assignee to the business or assets which by reason hereof becomes bound
by the terms and provisions of this Policy.

10

 

ARTICLE VIII  — DURATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

     Section 8.1 Duration/Termination.

     (a) This Policy will terminate as to all Participants: (i) if a Change in Control has
not occurred, the date that is two years following the giving of notice to each Executive
who is a Participant on the date of the notice that the Board has determined (by resolution
adopted by a majority of the members of the Board) that the Policy will terminate; and (ii)
if a Change in Control has occurred, the expiration of the Protection Period.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control occurs, this Policy shall
continue in full force and effect, and shall not terminate or expire until after all
Participants who were Participants on the date of the Change in Control who became entitled
to a Severance Payment hereunder shall have received such payment in full.

     Section 8.2 Amendment. Unless a Change in Control has previously occurred, this
Policy may be amended in any respect by resolution duly adopted by a majority of the members of the
Board; provided, however, that no such amendment shall adversely affect the rights of a
Participant under this Policy without the Participant’s consent unless such amendment does not
become effective until the date that is two years following the giving of notice to all
Participants of the adoption of such amendment by the Board. If a Change in Control occurs,
notwithstanding the foregoing, this Policy no longer shall be subject to amendment, change,
substitution, deletion or revocation in any respect.

     Section 8.3 Form of Amendment/Termination. The form of any proper amendment or
termination of this Policy shall be a written instrument signed by a duly authorized officer or
officers of the Company, certifying that the amendment or termination has been approved by the
Board as provided in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 hereof. A proper amendment of this Policy automatically
shall effect a corresponding amendment to all Participants’ rights hereunder. A proper termination
of this Policy automatically shall effect a termination of all Participants’ rights and benefits
hereunder without further action.

ARTICLE IX  — MISCELLANEOUS SECTION

     Section 9.1 Legal Fees and Expenses

     (a) It is the intent of the Company that Participants not be required to incur any
expenses associated with the enforcement of rights under this Policy because the cost and
expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to
Participants hereunder. Accordingly, if the Company has failed to comply with any of its
obligations under this Policy or in

11

 

the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Policy void
or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation designed to deny, or to recover from, a
Participant the benefits intended to be provided to the Participant hereunder, the Company
irrevocably authorizes the Participant from time to time to retain counsel of his or her
choice, at the expense of the Company, as hereafter provided, to represent the Participant
in connection with the initiation or defense of any legal action, whether by or against the
Company, in any jurisdiction. The Company shall pay or cause to be paid and shall be solely
responsible for any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the
Participant in enforcing his or her rights hereunder individually (but not as a
representative of any class) as a result of the Company’s failure to perform this Policy or
any provision hereof or as a result of the Company or any person contesting the validity or
enforceability of this Policy or any provision hereof.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provision of the Policy to the contrary, all fees and expenses
subject to payment or reimbursement pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be paid not later
than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant
incurs such fees or expenses. The Participant shall be solely responsible for timely
providing to the Company sufficient proof of the fees and expenses to be paid or reimbursed
pursuant to this Section.

     Section 9.2 Withholding of Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable
under this Policy all foreign, federal, state, or other taxes as the Company reasonably determines
are required pursuant to any law or government regulation or ruling.

     Section 9.3 Successors.

     (a) This Policy shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant’s
personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees and/or legatees.

     (b) The rights under this Policy are personal in nature and neither the Company nor any
Participant shall, without the consent of the other, assign or transfer any rights or
obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 5.3 and 7.1 hereof. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Participant’s right to receive a Severance
Payment hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable, whether by pledge, creation of a
security interest or otherwise, other than by a transfer by his or her will or by the laws
of descent and distribution and, in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer
contrary to this Section 9.3(b), the Company, shall have no liability to pay any amount so
attempted to be assigned or transferred.

     (c) The Company and each Participant recognize that each party will have no adequate
remedy at law for breach by the other of any of the

12

 

agreements contained herein and, in the event of any such breach, the Company, and each
Participant hereby agree and consent that the other shall be entitled to a decree of
specific performance, mandamus or other appropriate remedy to enforce performance of this
Policy.

     Section 9.4 Notices. For all purposes of this Policy, all communications, including
without limitation notices, consents, requests or approvals provided for herein, shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or five business days after
having been mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Company (to the attention of the General Counsel of the Company), at its principal
executive office and to any Participant at his or her principal residence as shown in the relevant
records of the Company, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in
writing and in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective
only upon receipt.

          (f) Reports.

     (1) Since December 31, 2007, the Company has filed all reports, registrations,
documents, filings, statements and submissions together with any required amendments
thereto, that it was required to file with the SEC (the foregoing, collectively, the
“Company Reports”) and have paid all fees and assessments due and payable in connection
therewith. As of their respective filing dates, the Company Reports complied in all
material respects with all statutes and applicable rules and regulations of the applicable
Governmental Entities, as the case may be. As of the date of this Agreement,

6

 

except for the SEC Comments, there are no outstanding comments from the SEC or any
other Governmental Entity with respect to any Company Report. Each Company Report, including
the documents incorporated therein by reference, when it was filed with or furnished to the
SEC, did not, as of its date or if amended prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the
date of such amendment, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements made in it, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and complied as to form in all
material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”). The Company’s financial condition is, in all material respects, as described in the
Company Reports, except for changes in the ordinary course of business. No executive
officer of the Company has failed in any respect to make the certifications required of him
or her under Section 302 or 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As of the date hereof,
the Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would prevent its chief
executive officer and chief financial officer or persons performing similar functions from
giving the certifications and attestations required pursuant to Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14
under the Exchange Act, without qualification, when next due.

     (2) The records, systems, controls, data and information of the Company and the Group
Companies are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including any
electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are under
the exclusive ownership and direct control of the Company or the Group Companies or
accountants (including all means of access thereto and therefrom). The Company (A) has
implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
of the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including
its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the chief executive officer and the chief
financial officer of the Company or other persons performing similar functions by others
within those entities, and (B) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to
the date of this Agreement, to the Company’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) (x) any significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that are reasonably
likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report
financial information, and (y) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over
financial reporting. The Company has no knowledge of any reason that its chief executive
officer and chief financial officer or persons performing similar functions will not be able
to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations
adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, without qualification,
when next due. Since December 31, 2007, (i) neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of
the Company, any director, officer, employee, or accountant of the Company has received any
material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the
accounting practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of the Company or any Group
Company or their respective internal accounting controls, including any material complaint,
allegation, assertion or claim that the Company or any

7

 

Group Company has engaged in questionable accounting practices, and (ii) no attorney
representing the Company, whether or not employed by the Company, has reported evidence of a
violation of securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by the Company
or any of the Group Companies or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or
agents to the Board of Directors or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of
the Company or any of the Group Companies.

          (g) Properties and Leases. Except for any Permitted Liens, the Company and each Group
Company have good title free and clear of any Liens to all the real and personal property that are
material to their respective businesses, which are reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 2009 included in the Company 20-F for the period then ended, and all real
and personal property that are material to their respective businesses acquired since such date,
except such real and personal property as has been disposed of in the ordinary course of business.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Liens” means (i) Liens for taxes and other governmental
charges and assessments arising in the ordinary course which are not yet due and payable, (ii)
Liens of landlords and Liens of carriers, warehousemen, mechanics and materialmen and other like
Liens arising in the ordinary course of business for sums not yet due and payable, (iii) any Lien
that may arise by operation of law, and (iv) other Liens or imperfections on property which are not
material in amount or do not materially detract from the value of or materially impair the existing
use of the property affected by such Lien or imperfection. All leases of real property and all
other leases pursuant to which the Company or such Group Company, as lessee, leases real or
personal property, which are material to their respective businesses, are valid and effective in
all material respects in accordance with their respective terms and there is not, under any such
lease, any existing material default by the Company or such Group Company.

          (h) Tax. The Company and each Group Company have timely prepared and filed all tax
returns required to have been filed by the Company with the appropriate Government Entities and
timely paid all taxes shown thereon or otherwise owed by it, except as would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and each Group
Company in respect of taxes for all fiscal period are adequate in all material respects, and there
are no material unpaid assessments against the Company or any Group Company. All taxes and other
assessments and levies that the Company or any Group Company is required to withhold or to collect
for payment have been duly withheld and collected and paid to the proper Governmental Entity or
third party when due. There are no tax Liens or claims pending against the Company, any Group
Company or any of their assets or property, other than Permitted Liens. There are no tax audits or
investigations pending, which if adversely determined would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (i) Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2009, the business and operations
of the Company and the Group Companies have been conducted in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice, and there has not been any Material Adverse Effect or any change in
any method of accounting or accounting policies by the Company or any of the Group Companies.

          (j) Material Contracts. The contracts (“Material Contract”) set forth in Part 1 of
the disclosure schedule set forth in Schedule II attached hereto (the “Disclosure Schedule”)

8

 

include all of the material contracts relating to the subway and public bus LCD display
advertising business engaged in by the Company and the Group Companies. Each Material Contract is
valid and binding on the Company and the Group Companies, as applicable, and in full force and
effect. The Company and each of the Group Companies, as applicable, are in compliance in all
material respects with and have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be
performed by them to date under each Material Contract. As of the date hereof, neither the Company
nor any of the Group Companies knows of, or has received notice of, any material violation or
default (or any condition which with the passage of time or the giving of notice would cause such a
violation of or a default) by any party under any Material Contract. Each of the Company and the
Group Companies has not received any written notice from any party under any Material Contract that
it intends to stop performing such Material Contract or materially and adversely change any of the
material terms (whether related to payment, price or otherwise) with respect to such Material
Contracts (whether as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise).
Consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not place the Company or any
of the Group Companies in breach or default of any Material Contract, or trigger any modification,
termination or acceleration thereunder.

          (k) Related Party Transaction. Other than disclosed in the SEC Documents, there are
no material transactions or series of related transactions, agreements, arrangements or
understandings, nor are there any currently proposed material transactions, or series of related
transactions between the Company or any Group Companies, on the one hand, and the Company, any
current or former director or executive officer of the Company or any Group Companies or any person
who Beneficially Owns 5% or more of the Common Shares (or any of such person’s immediate family
members or Affiliates) (other than Group Companies), on the other hand.

          (l) Offering of Securities. Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf
has taken any action (including, any offering of any securities of the Company under circumstances
which would require the integration of such offering with the offering of any of the Common Shares
to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document under the Securities Act
and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder) which would subject the offering,
issuance, or sale of any of such Common Shares to be issued to the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.

          (m) Litigation and Other Proceedings.

     (1) Except as disclosed in Part 2 of the Disclosure Schedule, there is no pending or,

involves a claim that is or that, if adversely determined, would result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Group Company is subject to any injunction,
order, judgment or decree, nor are there any proceedings with respect to the foregoing
pending, or to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.

     (2) Neither the Company nor any of the Group Companies has any material liabilities or
obligations (absolute, accrued, or otherwise) arising from any legal, governmental or
administrative proceedings, claims or penalty, which are not

limited liability duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where its ownership or

authorized by all requisite action on the part of the Focus Investor. This Agreement
constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Focus Investor, enforceable
against the Focus Investor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,

13

 

reorganizations, fraudulent transfer or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors

control, directly or indirectly, any shares, convertible debt or any securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for, or any rights, warrants or options to acquire, any shares or
convertible debt in the Company, or have any agreement, understanding or arrangement to

14

 

acquire any of the foregoing, except with respect to such Purchased Shares as to be purchased
by the Focus Investor pursuant to the transactions contemplated herein.

     (2) Neither the execution, delivery and performance by such Other Investor of this
Agreement or the Shareholders’ Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby will (i) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of
any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time
or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or result in
the loss of any benefit or creation of any right on the part of any third party under any
material contract to which such Other Investor is a party, or (ii) violate any ordinance,
permit, concession, grant, franchise, law, statute, rule or regulation or any judgment,
ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to it or any of its properties or
assets.

the contrary, Neither the Focus Investor nor the Company shall be required to provide any materials

concerning itself, its subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers, partners, and shareholders
and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any
statement, filing, notice, or application made by or on behalf of such other party or any of its
subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, neither the Focus Investor nor the Company

16

 

shall be required to furnish the other party with any (1) sensitive personal biographical or
personal financial information of any of the directors, officers, employees, managers or partners
of the Investor or any of its Affiliates, (2) proprietary and non-public information related to the
organizational terms of, or investors in, the it or its Affiliates, or (3) any information that it

party on a nonconfidential basis, (2) in the public domain through no fault of such party, or (3)
later lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished), and neither
party hereto shall release or disclose such Information to any other person, except its auditors,
attorneys, financial advisors, other consultants, and advisors.

          (b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall promptly provide the Focus Investor with written
notice of the occurrence of any circumstance, event, change, development or effect occurring after
the date hereof and relating to the Company or any Group Company of which the Company has knowledge
and which constitutes a Material Adverse Effect or, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, may
otherwise cause or render any of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in
SECTION 2.1 of this Agreement to be inaccurate in any material respect.

          SECTION 3.4. Conduct of the Business. Prior to the earlier of the Closing Date and

          (a) Each of the Focus Investor and JJ Media Investor hereby agrees that, without the prior
written approval of the Board of Directors, it or its Affiliates will not, from the date of this

the election of directors of the Company other than those acquired by each Investor on the Closing
Date.

          (b) Each of the Focus Investor and JJ Media Investor hereby agrees that, without the prior
written approval of the Board of Directors, it or its Affiliates will not, during the Standstill

Focus Investor of the Voting Securities of the Company pursuant to its gross-up rights set forth in
SECTION 4.6 of this Agreement or pursuant to its right of first offer set forth in Section 3.3 and
Section 3.4 of the Shareholders’ Agreement. In addition, the provisions of SECTION 4.2(a) and (b)

Group Companies representing more than 50% of the consolidated earnings power of the Company and

          SECTION 4.3. Legend.

          (a) Each Investor agrees that all certificates or other instruments representing the
securities subject to this Agreement will bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT
BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED
OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH
ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS. ANY ATTEMPT TO TRANSFER, SELL, OFFER TO
SELL, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATE OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF THIS INSTRUMENT IN VIOLATION OF
THESE RESTRICTIONS SHALL BE VOID.”

          (b) Upon request of the Investor, upon receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such legend is no longer required under
the Securities Act or applicable state laws, as the case may be, the Company shall promptly cause
the legend to be removed from any certificate for any securities. Each Investor acknowledges that
the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state
securities laws and agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Purchased
Shares except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions of the
Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws.

          SECTION 4.4. Indemnity.

20

 

          (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its Affiliates and
each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees and agents, to
the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, costs,
losses, liabilities, damages, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), amounts paid
in settlement and other costs incurred by such party (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or
resulting from (1) any inaccuracy in or breach of the Company’s representations or warranties in
SECTION 2.1 of this Agreement, (2) the Company’s breach of agreements or covenants made by the
Company in this Agreement, and (3) any litigation in connection with the Company’s acquisition of
Digital Media Group Company Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin
Islands, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 16,
2009 (the “Merger Agreement”) and its related documents, which results in a final and nonappealable
judgment against the Company to pay any amount in excess of the unpaid First Deferred Consideration
and Second Deferred Consideration, contemplated in section 1.8 of the Merger Agreement and the
unreleased Indemnity Escrow Fund, contemplated in section 1.9(c) of the Merger Agreement.

          (b) Each Investor agrees to, severally but not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless each of
the Company and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members,
managers, employees and agents, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all Losses
arising out of or resulting from (1) any inaccuracy in or breach of such Investor’s representations
or warranties in this Agreement or (2) such Investor’s breach of agreements or covenants made by it
in this Agreement.

          (c) A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written
notice to the party indemnifying it (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim with respect to which
it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery by such Indemnified Party of any matters
giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to
give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under
this SECTION 4.4 unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually
prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify such party. Such notice shall
describe in reasonable detail such claim. In case any such action, suit, claim or proceeding is
brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to hire, at the cost
and expense of the Indemnifying Party, counsel and conduct the defense thereof; provided, however,
that the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the legal fees and expenses of one law firm
for all Indemnified Parties, taken together with regard to any single action or group of related
actions, upon agreement by the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties. If the
Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim, all Indemnified Parties shall thereafter
deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers)
received by the Indemnified Party relating to the claim, and any Indemnified Party shall cooperate
in the defense or prosecution of such claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and
(upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and
information that are reasonably relevant to such claim, and making employees available on a
mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material
provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action,
suit, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, that the
Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The
Indemnifying Party further agrees that it will not, without the

21

 

Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in
any pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has
been sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of
such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding.

          (d) For purposes of the indemnity contained in SECTION 4.4(a)(1) and SECTION 4.4(b)(1), all
qualifications and limitations set forth in the parties’ representations and warranties as to
“materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import, shall be disregarded in
determining (i) whether there shall have been any inaccuracy in or breach of any representations
and warranties in this Agreement and (ii) the amount of Losses in respect of any breach of any
representation or warranty.

          (e) The Company shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to SECTION
4.4(a)(1) (other than the Fundamental Representations), disregarding all qualifications or
limitations set forth in its representations and warranties as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse
Effect” and words of similar import, (1) with respect to any claim for indemnification if the
amount of Losses with respect to such claim are less than $100,000 (any claim involving Losses less
than such amount being referred to as a “De Minimis Claim”) and (2) unless and until the aggregate
amount of all Losses incurred with respect to all claims (other than De Minimis Claims) pursuant to
SECTION 4.4(a)(1) exceed $1,000,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event the Company shall be
responsible for the entire amount of such Losses. Each Investor shall not be required to indemnify
the Indemnified Parties pursuant to SECTION 4.4(b)(1) (other than the Fundamental Representations),
disregarding all qualifications or limitations set forth in the representations and warranties as
to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import, (1) with respect to any De
Minimis Claim and (2) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred with respect to
all claims (other than De Minimis Claims) pursuant to SECTION 4.4(b)(1) exceed the Threshold
Amount, in which event such Investor shall be responsible for the entire amount of such Losses.
Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 4.4 or in this Agreement provided otherwise, the aggregate
total liability of the Company in relation to each Investor under SECTION 4.4(a)(1) and SECTION
4.4(a)(2) shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the amount set forth in the last column from the
left of Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Investor, and the aggregate total
liability of the Company in relation to each Investor under SECTION 4.4(a) shall not exceed fifteen
percent (15%) of the amount set forth in the last column from the left of Schedule I hereto
opposite the name of such Investor. Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 4.4 or in this
Agreement provided otherwise, the aggregate total liability of each Investor in relation to the
Company under this SECTION 4.4 shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the amount set forth in the
last column from the left of Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Investor. Absent
a showing of fraud by a party, and assuming the Closing has occurred, the indemnification
obligation of a party under this SECTION 4.4 shall be the sole remedy of any other party against
such party for monetary damages for breach of any representation or warranty or covenant contained
in this Agreement. Nothing herein shall limit a party’s right to seek injunctive or other
equitable relief in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement.

          (f) The obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this SECTION 4.4 shall survive the
transfer or redemption of the Common Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, or

22

 

the Closing or termination of this Agreement; provided that in the event of any transfer of
the Common Shares to a third party that is not an Affiliate of the transferor, the Indemnifying
Party shall have no obligations under this SECTION 4.4 to such transferee. The indemnity provided
for in this SECTION 4.4 is in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable or
common law remedy that any party may have with respect to a breach of the provisions hereof, any
other agreement or contract or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and
the Investors and their Affiliates have and retain all other rights and remedies existing in their
favor at law or equity, including without limitation, any actions for specific performance and/or
injunctive or other equitable relief (without posting a bond or other security) to enforce or
prevent any violations of any provisions of this Agreement. No party to this Agreement (or any of
its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable or otherwise responsible to any other party (or any
of its Affiliates) for any consequential or punitive damages of such other party (or any of its
Affiliates) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the performance or breach hereof. The
indemnification rights contained in this SECTION 4.4 are not limited or deemed waived by any
investigation or knowledge by the Indemnified Party prior to or after the date hereof.

          (g) Any indemnification payments pursuant to this SECTION 4.4 shall be treated as an
adjustment to the Investment Amount for the Purchased Shares for U.S. federal income and applicable
state and local Tax purposes, unless a different treatment is required by applicable law.

          SECTION 4.5. Registration Rights.

          At the Closing, the Company will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto.

          SECTION 4.6. Gross-Up Rights.

          (a) Sale of New Securities. For so long as the Focus Investor, together with its
Affiliates, owns 10% or more of all of the outstanding Common Shares (counting for such purposes
all Common Shares into or for which the securities of the Company owned by the Investor and its
Affiliates are directly or indirectly convertible or exercisable) (before giving effect to any
issuances triggering provisions of this Section) if, at any time after the date hereof and on or
before the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, the Company makes any nonpublic offering or sale
of any equity security (including Common Shares, preferred shares or restricted shares), or any
securities, options or debt that is convertible or exchangeable into equity or that includes an
equity component (such as an “equity kicker”) (any such security, a “New Security”) (other than (i)
any Common Shares or other securities issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any securities of
the Company issued or agreed to be issued as of the date hereof; (ii) pursuant to the granting or
exercise of employee share options or other share incentives pursuant to the Company’s share
incentive plans approved by the Board of Directors or the issuance of shares pursuant to the
Company’s employee share purchase plan approved by the Board of Directors or similar plan where
shares are being issued or offered to a trust, other entity or otherwise, for the benefit of any
employees, officers or directors of the Company, in each case in the ordinary course of providing
incentive compensation; or (iii) issuances of shares or other securities as full or partial
consideration for a merger, acquisition, joint venture, strategic alliance, license

23

 

agreement or other similar nonfinancing transaction), then, to the extent not prohibited, not
restricted, and not requiring any shareholders’ approval by any applicable law or by obligations
pursuant to any listing agreement with any securities exchange or any securities exchange
regulation, the Focus Investor shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company for
the same price (net of any underwriting discounts or sales commissions) and on the same terms
(except that, to the extent permitted by law and the Articles of Association, the Investor may
elect to receive such securities in nonvoting form, convertible into voting securities in a widely
dispersed or public offering) as such securities are proposed to be offered to others, up to the
amount of New Securities in the aggregate required to enable it to maintain its interest in the
Purchased Shares proportionate to the total number of Common Shares of the Company either
outstanding or issued pursuant to currently exercisable rights of Common Share-equivalent interest
in the Company immediately prior to any such issuance of New Securities; provided, that, except in
the case of any transfer of Common Shares to an Affiliate of the Focus Investor, who will from that
date forward assume jointly with the Focus Investor all obligations under the Transaction
Documents, such right to acquire such securities is not transferable. The amount of New Securities
that the Focus Investor shall be entitled to purchase in the aggregate shall be determined by
multiplying (x) the total number or principal amount of such offered New Securities by (y) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Purchased Shares held by the Focus Investor, and
the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the
issuance of such New Securities.

          (b) Notice. In the event the Company proposes to make any nonpublic offering or sale
of New Securities, it shall give the Focus Investor written notice of its intention, describing the
price (or range of prices), anticipated amount of securities, timing, and other terms upon which
the Company proposes to offer the same, no later than two business days after the Company proposes
to pursue such offering or sale. The Focus Investor shall have 5 business days from the date of
receipt of such a notice to notify the Company in writing that it intends to exercise its rights
provided in this SECTION 4.6 and, as to the amount of New Securities the Focus Investor desires to
purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to SECTION 4.6(a). Such notice shall
constitute an irrevocable offer and legally binding obligation of the Focus Investor to purchase
the amount of New Securities so specified at the price and other terms set forth in the Company’s
notice to it, subject only to (i) the completion of the issuance of such New Securities specified
in the Focus Investor’s notice, and (ii) the required regulatory or corporate approvals, if any.
The failure of the Focus Investor to respond within such 5 business day period shall be deemed to
be a waiver of the Focus Investor’s rights under this SECTION 4.6 only with respect to the offering
described in the applicable notice.

          (c) Purchase Mechanism. If the Focus Investor exercises its rights provided in this
Section 4.5, the closing of the purchase of the New Securities with respect to which such right has
been exercised shall take place within 30 calendar days after the giving of notice of such
exercise, which period of time shall be extended for a maximum of 180 days in order to comply with
applicable laws and regulations (including receipt of any applicable regulatory or corporate
approvals). The Company and the Focus Investor agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to
secure any regulatory or corporate approvals or other consents, and to comply with any law or
regulation necessary in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of, such New Securities.

24

 

          (d) Failure of Purchase. In the event that the Focus Investor fails to exercise its
rights provided in this SECTION 4.6 within said 5 business day period or, if so exercised, the
Focus Investor is unable to consummate such purchase within the time period specified in SECTION
4.6(c) because of the Focus Investor’s failure to obtain any required regulatory or corporate
consent or approval, the Company shall thereafter be entitled (during the period of 180 days
following the conclusion of the applicable period) to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to
which the sale of the New Securities covered thereby shall be consummated, if at all, within 30
days from the date of said agreement) to sell the New Securities not elected to be purchased
pursuant to this SECTION 4.6 by the Focus Investor or which the Focus Investor is unable to
purchase because of such failure to obtain any such consent or approval, at a price and upon terms
no more favorable in the aggregate to the purchasers of such securities than were specified in the
Company’s notice to the Focus Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such sale is subject to
the receipt of any regulatory or corporate approval or consent or the expiration of any waiting
period, the time period during which such sale may be consummated shall be extended until the
expiration of five business days after all such approvals or consents have been obtained or waiting
periods expired, unless such time period exceed 180 days from the date of the applicable agreement
with respect to such sale. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities or entered
into an agreement to sell the New Securities within said 180-day period (or sold and issued New
Securities in accordance with the foregoing within 30 days from the date of said agreement (as such
period may be extended in the manner described above for a period not to exceed 180 days from the
date of said agreement)), the Company shall not thereafter offer, issue or sell such New Securities
without first offering such securities to the Focus Investor in the manner provided above.

          (e) Non-Cash Consideration. In the case of the offering of securities for a
consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange
therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash
shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors; provided,
however, that such fair value as determined by the Board of Directors shall not exceed the
aggregate market price of the securities being offered as of the date the Board of Directors
authorizes the offering of such securities.

          (f) Cooperation. The Company and the Investor shall cooperate in good faith to
facilitate the exercise of the Investor’s rights under this SECTION 4.6, including to secure any
required approvals or consents.

          SECTION 4.7. Anti-Takeover Matters; Takeover Laws; No Rights Triggered. If any
Takeover Law may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the transactions contemplated or
permitted by this Agreement, the Company and the members of the Board of Directors shall grant such
approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated or permitted
by this Agreement may be consummated, as promptly as practicable, on the terms contemplated by this
Agreement and the other respective Transaction Documents, as the case may be, and otherwise act to
eliminate or minimize the effects of any Takeover Law on any of the transactions contemplated or
permitted by this Agreements.

          SECTION 4.8. Continued Listing Authorization. For so long as the Focus Shareholder,
together with its Affiliates, owns not less than five percent (5%) of all of the

25

 

outstanding Common Shares (counting for such purposes all Common Shares into or for which the
securities of the Company owned by the Focus Shareholder and its Affiliates are directly or
indirectly convertible or exercisable), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to prevent the Common Shares from being delisted from the NASDAQ.

          SECTION 4.9. Corporate Opportunities.

          (a) For so long as the Focus Investor, together with its Affiliates, owns five percent (5%) or
more of all of the outstanding Common Shares (counting for such purposes all Common Shares into or
for which the securities of the Company owned by the Focus Shareholder and its Affiliates are
directly or indirectly convertible or exercisable), neither the Focus Investor, nor its Affiliates,
nor the Focus Nominee (as defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement) shall, directly or indirectly,
engage in, invest in, participate in, control, operate, manage or otherwise compete with the
Company in the Company Business without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors,
except for the investment by the Focus Investor and/or its Affiliates in the Company in accordance
with the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the foregoing provisions
of this SECTION 4.9(a) shall not prohibit the Focus Investor from, directly or indirectly, doing
any of the following: (i) acquiring ownership of securities having less than five percent (5%) of
the outstanding voting power of any person engaged in any Company Business, provided that the Focus
Investor does not, as a result of acquiring such ownership of securities, directly or indirectly
own five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding voting power of any person engaged in any Company
Business; or (ii) acquiring ownership of any economic interest in a person which is an investment
vehicle with respect to which the Focus Investor has no control and which is not formed for the
purpose of making investments in persons engaged in any Company Business.

          (b) For so long as the Focus Investor, together with its Affiliates, owns five percent (5%) or
more of all of the outstanding Common Shares (counting for such purposes all Common Shares into or
for which the securities of the Company owned by the Focus Shareholder and its Affiliates are
directly or indirectly convertible or exercisable), neither the Company nor its Affiliates shall,
directly or indirectly, engage in, invest in, participate in, control, operate, manage or otherwise
compete with the Focus Investor and its Affiliates in the Focus Business without the prior written
approval of the Board of Directors of the Focus Investor. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 4.9(b) shall not prohibit the Company from,
directly or indirectly, doing any of the following: (i) acquiring ownership of securities having
less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding voting power of any person engaged in any Focus
Business, provided that the Company does not, as a result of acquiring such ownership of
securities, directly or indirectly own five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding voting power of
any person engaged in any Focus Business; or (ii) acquiring ownership of any economic interest in a
person which is an investment vehicle with respect to which the Company has no control and which is
not formed for the purpose of making investments in persons engaged in any Focus Business.

          (c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law or regulation, neither the Focus
Investor nor any of its Affiliates, nor the Focus Nominee shall be restricted in any way whatsoever
by this Agreement from engaging in the Focus Business, nor shall be obliged to refer or present any
particular business opportunity to the Company unless otherwise provided in

26

 

SECTION 4.9(d) and SECTION 4.9(e) below. Unless otherwise provided in SECTION 4.9(d) below,
the Focus Investor shall have the right to take all business opportunities within the scope of the
Focus Business for its own account (individually or as a partner, shareholder, member, participant
or fiduciary) or recommend to others such particular opportunity.

          (d) Subject to SECTION 4.9(a), so long as the Focus Nominee remains a director of the Company,
in the event the Focus Nominee learns from the Board of Directors of any business opportunities
(provided he has not previously learned of or obtained information regarding such business
opportunity from any other source), he shall not recommend to the Focus Investor or any Affiliates
of the Focus Investor or any other persons such business opportunity unless and until (i) the Focus
Nominee has provided written notice to the Board of Directors indicating his intention to recommend
such opportunity to the Focus Investor and (ii) (x) within ninety (90) days of the receipt of such
notice by the Board of Directors the Company has decided not to pursue such opportunity or has not
pursued such opportunity or (y) the Company subsequently determines to abandon the pursuit of such
business opportunity.

          (e) Subject to SECTIONS 4.9(a) to (c), until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the
Closing Date and (ii) the date on which the Focus Nominee remains a director of the Company, in the
event the Focus Nominee, in his capacity as a director of the Company, learns of any business
opportunities other than through the Board of Directors (provided he has not previously learned of
or obtained information regarding such business opportunity in a capacity other than as a director
of the Company), he shall not recommend to the Focus Investor or any Affiliates of the Focus
Investor such business opportunity without first presenting such opportunity to the Company in
writing. Subject to SECTION 4.9(a), if the Company does not decide to pursue such business
opportunity within thirty (30) days of the written notice of the Focus Nominee in respect of such
business opportunity, or subsequently determines to abandon the pursuit of such business
opportunity, the Focus Nominee (and the Focus Investor or its Affiliates) shall have the right to
recommend to the Focus Investor or any of its Affiliate or any other persons such business
opportunity.

          (f) In the event of any dispute arising from this SECTION 4.9, the Focus Investor and the
Company shall use their respective reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute between such parties
through negotiations.

          SECTION 4.10. Regulatory Matters.

          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither any of the Investors
including their respective Affiliates nor the Company shall be required (i) to modify or limit its
operations or commercial practices; (ii) to modify or limit its governance, structure, or
compensation arrangements; (iii) to modify the terms of this Agreement, including, for the
avoidance of doubt, the terms or the amount of the Purchased Shares to be delivered by the Company
under this Agreement; (iv) to become subject to or otherwise permit or accept any other condition,
limitation, restriction, or restraint that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect (with
respect to an Investor or its Affiliates) any material financial term of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the anticipated benefits or burdens to such Investor and its
Affiliates or the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby; (v) to propose, agree, or accept
any of the items described in clauses (i) through (iv) as a condition to

27

 

receiving any regulatory or governmental approval or consent (each of clauses (i) through (v),
a “Burdensome Condition”).

ARTICLE V

on or before the seventh business day after the date hereof; provided, however, that the right to

conditions of Closing set forth in SECTION 1.3(b)(1) are not satisfied, or waived by the Focus

          (d) by the Company or the Focus Investor, upon written notice to the other parties, in the
event that any Governmental Entity shall have issued any order, decree or injunction or taken any
other action restraining, enjoining or prohibiting any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, and such order, decree, injunction or other action shall have become final and
nonappealable.

          SECTION 5.2. Effects of Termination. In the event of any termination of this
Agreement as provided in SECTION 5.1, this Agreement (other than SECTION 3.2, SECTION 4.4, this

remain in full force and effect) shall forthwith become wholly void and of no further force and
effect; provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for willful breach of
this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

the breach of any such representation and warranty, if notice of such breach was provided prior to
the end of such period) and thereafter shall expire and have no further force and

privilege. The conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the Closing are for the sole
benefit of such party and may be waived by such party in whole or in part to the extent permitted
by applicable law. No waiver of any party to this Agreement will be effective unless it is in a

assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to one of its

otherwise controlled by such parent;

     (2) the term “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any person directly or

and/or policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities by
contract or otherwise;

followed by the words “without limitation”;

     (5) the terms “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import

32

 

          SECTION 6.10. Captions. The article, section, paragraph and clause captions herein
are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and will not be
deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof.

          SECTION 6.11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application
thereof to any person (including the officers and directors of the Investor and the Company) or
circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to persons or
circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain
in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long
as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any
manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination, the parties shall negotiate in
good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the
original intent of the parties.

          SECTION 6.12. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, is intended to confer or shall confer upon any person other than the express
parties hereto, any benefit right or remedies, except that the provisions of SECTION 4.2 shall
inure to the benefit of the person referred to therein. The representations and warranties set
forth in Article II and the covenants set forth in Articles III and IV have been made solely for
the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and (a) may be intended not as statements of fact, but
rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be
inaccurate; and (b) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be
viewed as material by shareholders of, or other investors in, the Company.

          SECTION 6.13. Public Announcements. Except as otherwise required by applicable law,
in the event that any party is required by applicable law or by obligations pursuant to any listing
agreement with any securities exchange or any securities exchange regulation to issue a press
release or otherwise make an announcement related to this Agreement and any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, it shall notify the other parties in advance and provide the other
parties with the opportunity to review such press release or announcement and shall limit the
disclosure therein to that required by applicable law (except to the extent otherwise agreed by the
other party).

          SECTION 6.14. Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would
occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance
with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek
specific performance of the terms hereof, this being in addition to any other remedies to which
they are entitled at law or equity.
