W I T N E S S E T H:

          WHEREAS, the Partnership and Subsidiary Guarantors have heretofore entered into an Indenture,
dated as of May 18, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
trustee;

          WHEREAS, the Base Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, is herein called
the “Indenture;”

          WHEREAS, under the Base Indenture, a new series of Debt Securities may at any time be
established by the Board of Directors of the general partner of the Partnership in accordance with
the provisions of the Base Indenture and the form and terms of such series may be established by a
supplemental indenture executed by the Partnership and the Trustee;

          WHEREAS, also under the Base Indenture, a series of Debt Securities may be entitled to the
benefit of the Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors as set forth in Article XIV of the Base
Indenture, which entitlement shall be so designated in the supplemental indenture related to such
Debt Securities;

          WHEREAS, the Partnership proposes to create under the Indenture a new series of Debt
Securities, such series to be guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors;

          WHEREAS, additional Debt Securities of other series hereafter established, except as may be
limited in the Base Indenture as at the time supplemented and modified, may be issued from time to
time pursuant to the Base Indenture as at the time supplemented and modified; and

          WHEREAS, all conditions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Supplemental
Indenture and to make it a valid and binding obligation of the Partnership and the Subsidiary
Guarantors have been done or performed.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and obligations set forth herein and for
other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

 

ARTICLE I

          Section 1.01. Establishment. (a) There is hereby established a new series of Debt Securities to be
issued under the Indenture, to be designated as the Partnership’s 5.375% Senior Notes due 2021 (the
“Notes”).

               (b) There are to be authenticated and delivered $500,000,000 principal amount of Notes on the
date hereof, and from time to time thereafter there may be authenticated and delivered an
unlimited principal amount of Additional Notes.

               (c) The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one Global Security in substantially
the form set out in Exhibit A hereto. The Depositary with respect to the Notes shall be The
Depository Trust Company.

               (d) Each Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof and shall bear interest from
the date of original issuance thereof or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid
or duly provided for.

               (e) If and to the extent that the provisions of the Base Indenture are duplicative of, or in
contradiction with, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this
Supplemental Indenture shall govern.

ARTICLE II

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

          Section 2.01.
Definitions. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined below shall have
the meanings ascribed thereto in the Base Indenture. The following are additional definitions used
in this Supplemental Indenture:

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed
that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of such Notes; provided, however, that if no maturity is within three months before
or after the maturity date for such Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely
corresponding to such United States Treasury security shall be determined and the Treasury Rate
shall be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis rounding to the
nearest month.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date for Notes, (1) the
average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date after excluding the
highest and lowest of all of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (2) if the Quotation Agent
obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such
quotations.

     “Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means at any date of determination, the total amount of
consolidated assets of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries after deducting therefrom (1) all
current liabilities (excluding (a) any current liabilities that by their terms are extendable or

2

 

renewable at the option of the obligor thereon to a time more than 12 months after the time as of
which the amount thereof is being computed and (b) current maturities of long-term debt), and (2)
the value (net of any applicable reserves) of all goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents and
other like intangible assets, all as set forth, or on a pro forma basis would be set forth, on the
consolidated balance sheet of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries for the most recently
completed fiscal quarter, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States.

     “Debt” of any Person means, without duplication, (1) all indebtedness of such Person for
borrowed money (whether or not the recourse of the lender is to the whole of the assets of such
Person or only to a portion thereof), (2) all obligations of such Person evidenced by bonds,
debentures, notes or other similar instruments, (3) all obligations of such Person in respect of
letters of credit or other similar instruments (or reimbursement obligations with respect thereto),
other than standby letters of credit, performance bonds and other obligations issued by or for the
account of such Person in the ordinary course of business, to the extent not drawn or, to the
extent drawn, if such drawing is reimbursed not later than the third Business Day following demand
for reimbursement, (4) all obligations of such Person to pay the deferred and unpaid purchase price
of property or services, except trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course
of business, (5) all capitalized lease obligations of such Person, (6) all Debt of others secured
by a Lien on any asset of such Person, whether or not such Debt is assumed by such Person (provided
that if the obligations so secured have not been assumed in full by such Person or are not
otherwise such Person’s legal liability in full, then such obligations shall be deemed to be in an
amount equal to the greater of (a) the lesser of (i) the full amount of such obligations and (ii)
the fair market value of such assets, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of such
Person, which determination shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution, and (b) the amount of
obligations as have been assumed by such Person or which are otherwise such Person’s legal
liability), and (7) all Debt of others (other than endorsements in the ordinary course of business)
guaranteed by such Person to the extent of such guarantee.

     “guarantee” means a guarantee other than by endorsement of negotiable instruments for
collection in the ordinary course of business, direct or indirect, in any manner including, without
limitation, by way of a pledge of assets or through letters of credit or reimbursement agreements
in respect thereof, of all or any part of any Debt. When used as a verb, “guarantee” has a
correlative meaning.

     “Guarantee” means any guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor of the Partnership’s obligations
under the Indenture and on the Notes.

     “obligations” means any principal, premium, if any, interest (including interest accruing on
or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization, whether or not a claim for
post-filing interest is allowed in such proceeding), penalties, fees, charges, expenses,
indemnifications, reimbursement obligations, damages, guarantees, and other liabilities or amounts
payable under the documentation governing any Debt or in respect thereto.

     “Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, joint stock company,
association, trust, unincorporated organization, limited liability company, government or any
agency or political subdivision thereof or any other entity.

the Board of Directors of the General Partner as evidenced by resolutions of the Board of Directors
of the General Partner, is not material in relation to the activities of the Partnership and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

     “Principal Subsidiary” means any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries that owns or leases,
directly or indirectly, a Principal Property.

     “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Partnership.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and one U.S.
government securities dealer in The City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) selected by
Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the
foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Partnership shall substitute therefor
another Primary Treasury Dealer and (ii) two other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the
Partnership.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked
prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal
amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third business day preceding the redemption date.

Subsidiary) and the taking back by the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary, as the case may be,
of a lease of such Principal Property.

     “Subsidiary” means, as to any Person, (1) any corporation, association or other business
entity (other than a partnership or limited liability company) of which more than 50% of the
outstanding capital stock having ordinary voting power is at the time owned or controlled, directly

Rate on the third business day preceding any redemption date and notify the Trustee in writing of
the Treasury Rate prior to the redemption.

will be issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The
Notes and Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto, the terms of which are incorporated in and made a part of this Supplemental Indenture, and
the Partnership and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture,
expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

          Section 3.02. Issuance of Additional Notes. The Partnership may, from time to time, without notice to or
the consent of the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee, increase the principal amount of Notes
under the Indenture and issue such increased principal amount (or any portion thereof), in which

5

 

same form and terms (other than the date of issuance and, under certain circumstances, the date from which interest thereon will begin to accrue and the
initial interest payment date), and will carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid
interest, as the Notes previously issued, and such Additional notes will form a single series with
the Notes for all purposes under the Indenture.

          Section 3.03. Global Security Legend. Each of the Global Securities shall bear a legend in substantially
the following form:

     UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST

REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME
OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY
PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO., OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO
ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

     TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO
NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF

ARTICLE IV

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

          Section 4.01. Optional Redemption.

               (a) The Partnership may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part at any time before March 1,
2021, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes
to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of
principal and interest on such Notes (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date)
discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to such redemption date. On or
after March 1, 2021, the Notes shall be redeemable and repayable, at the Partnership’s option, at
any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount
of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed to the date of
redemption.

               (b) If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, such Notes shall be
selected for redemption not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date and such

6

 

selection shall be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee
deems appropriate (or, in the case of Notes represented by a Note in global form, by such method
as DTC may require); provided, that no partial redemption of any Note will occur if such
redemption would reduce the principal amount of such Note to less than $2,000. Notices of
redemption with respect to the Notes shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more
than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered
address.

               (c) If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such
Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the holder
thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption shall become due on
the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the redemption price,
on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the
Notes called for redemption.

               (d) The provisions of Article III of the Base Indenture in respect of the Notes shall apply
to any optional redemption of the Notes except when such provisions conflict with the foregoing.

ARTICLE V

COVENANTS

          The following covenants, in addition to the covenants set forth in Article IV of the Base
Indenture, shall apply to the Notes:

          Section 5.01. Limitations on Liens. While any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Partnership shall
not, and shall not permit any of its Principal Subsidiaries to, create, or permit to be created or
to exist, any mortgage, lien, pledge, security interest, charge, adverse claim, or other
encumbrance (“Lien”) upon any Principal Property of the Partnership or any of its Principal
Subsidiaries, or upon any equity interests of any Principal Subsidiary, whether such Principal
Property is, or equity interests are, owned on or acquired after the date of the Indenture, to
secure any Debt, unless the Notes then outstanding are equally and ratably secured by such Lien for
so long as any such Debt is so secured, other than:

               (a) purchase money mortgages, or other purchase money Liens of any kind upon property
acquired by the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture, or Liens
of any kind existing on any property or any equity interests at the time of the acquisition
thereof (including Liens that exist on any property or any equity interests of a Person that is
consolidated with or merged with or into the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary or that
transfers or leases all or substantially all of its properties or assets to the Partnership or any
Principal Subsidiary), or conditional sales agreements or other title retention agreements and
leases in the nature of title retention agreements with respect to any property
hereafter acquired, so long as no such Lien shall extend to or cover any other property of
the Partnership or such Principal Subsidiary;

7

 

               (b) Liens upon any property of the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary or any equity
interests of any Principal Subsidiary existing as of the date of the initial issuance of the Notes
or upon the property or any equity interests of any entity, which Liens existed at the time such
entity became a Subsidiary of the Partnership;

               (c) Liens for taxes or assessments or other governmental charges or levies relating to
amounts that are not yet delinquent or are being contested in good faith;

               (d) pledges or deposits to secure: (a) any governmental charges or levies; (b) obligations
under workers’ compensation laws, unemployment insurance and other social security legislation;
(c) performance in connection with bids, tenders, contracts (other than contracts for the payment
of money) or leases to which the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary is a party; (d) public or
statutory obligations of the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary; and (e) surety, stay,
appeal, indemnity, customs, performance or return-of-money bonds or pledges or deposits in lieu
thereof;

               (e) builders’, materialmen’s, mechanics’, carriers’, warehousemen’s, workers’, repairmen’s,
operators’, landlords’ or other similar Liens, in the ordinary course of business;

               (f) Liens created by or resulting from any litigation or proceeding that at the time is being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, including Liens relating to judgments
thereunder as to which the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary has not exhausted its appellate
rights;

               (g) Liens on deposits required by any Person with whom the Partnership or any Principal
Subsidiary enters into forward contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements or other commodities
contracts in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with established risk management
policies and Liens in connection with leases (other than capital leases) made, or existing on
property acquired, in the ordinary course of business;

               (h) easements (including, without limitation, reciprocal easement agreements and utility
agreements), zoning restrictions, rights-of-way, covenants, consents, reservations, encroachments,
variations and other restrictions on the use of property or minor irregularities in title thereto,
charges or encumbrances (whether or not recorded) affecting the use of real property and which are
incidental to, and do not materially impair the use of such property in the operation of the
business of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the value of such property
for the purpose of such business;

               (i) Liens in favor of the United States of America, any State, any foreign country or any
department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of any such jurisdiction, to secure
partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any
Debt incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of
constructing or improving the property subject to such Liens, including, without limitation, Liens to secure Debt of the pollution control or industrial
revenue bond type;

8

 

               (j) Liens of any kind upon any property acquired, constructed, developed or improved by the
Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary (whether alone or in association with others) after the
date of the Indenture that are created prior to, at the time of, or within 12 months after such
acquisition (or in the case of property constructed, developed or improved, after the completion
of such construction, development or improvement and commencement of full commercial operation of
such property, whichever is later) to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the
purchase price or cost thereof; provided that in the case of such construction, development or
improvement the Liens shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the Partnership or any
Principal Subsidiary other than theretofore unimproved real property;

               (k) Liens in favor of the Partnership, one or more Principal Subsidiaries, one or more
wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any of the foregoing in combination;

               (l) the replacement, extension or renewal (or successive replacements, extensions or
renewals), as a whole or in part, of any Lien, or of any agreement, referred to in the clauses
above, or the replacement, extension or renewal of the Debt secured thereby (not exceeding the
principal amount of Debt secured thereby, other than to provide for the payment of any
underwriting or other fees related to any such replacement, extension or renewal, as well as any
premiums owed on and accrued and unpaid interest payable in connection with any such replacement,
extension or renewal); provided that such replacement, extension or renewal is limited to all or a
part of the same property that secured the Lien replaced, extended or renewed (plus improvements
thereon or additions or accessions thereto); or

               (m) any Lien not excepted by the foregoing clauses; provided that immediately after the
creation or assumption of such Lien the aggregate principal amount of Debt of the Partnership or
any Principal Subsidiary secured by all Liens created or assumed under the provisions of this
clause, together with all net sale proceeds from any Sale-Leaseback Transactions, subject to
certain exceptions, shall not exceed an amount equal to 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible
Assets for the fiscal quarter that was most recently completed prior to the creation or assumption
of such Lien.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of making the calculation set forth in clause (m)
of the preceding paragraph, with respect to any such secured Debt of a non-wholly-owned Principal
Subsidiary of the Partnership with no recourse to the Partnership or any wholly-owned Principal
Subsidiary thereof, only that portion of the aggregate principal amount of such secured Debt
reflecting the Partnership’s pro rata ownership interest in such non-wholly-owned Principal
Subsidiary shall be included in calculating compliance herewith.

          Section 5.02. Restriction of Sale-Leaseback Transactions. While the Notes remain outstanding, the
Partnership shall not, and shall not permit any of its Principal Subsidiaries to engage in a
Sale-Leaseback Transaction, unless:

               (a) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction occurs within one year from the date of acquisition of the
relevant Principal Property or the date of the completion of construction or commencement of full
operations on such Principal Property, whichever is later, and the Partnership has elected to
designate, as a credit against (but not exceeding) the purchase price

9

 

or cost of construction of such Principal Property, an amount equal to all or a portion of the net sale proceeds from such
Sale-Leaseback Transaction (with any such amount not being so designated to be applied as set
forth in clause (c) below);

               (b) the Partnership or such Principal Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Debt secured by a
Lien on the Principal Property subject to the Sale-Leaseback Transaction in a principal amount
equal to or exceeding the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction without equally
and ratably securing the Notes; or

               (c) the Partnership or such Principal Subsidiary, within a 270-day period after such
Sale-Leaseback Transaction, applies or causes to be applied an amount not less than the net sale
proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction to (1) the prepayment, repayment, redemption or
retirement of any unsubordinated Debt of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries (A) for
borrowed money or (B) evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, or (2)
invest in another Principal Property.

          Section 5.03. Reports. So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Partnership shall:

               (a) during such time as it is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), file with the Trustee, within 15 days after
it files the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and the information, documents and
other reports which it is required to file with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act; and

               (b) during such time as it is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act,
file with the Trustee, within 15 days after it would have been required to file the same with the
SEC, financial statements, including any notes thereto (and with respect to annual reports, an
auditors’ report by a firm of established national reputation) and a Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both comparable to what it would have
been required to file with the SEC had it been subject to the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act.

          With respect to the Notes, the provisions of this Section 5.03 shall replace and preempt the
provisions of Section 4.05(a) of the Base Indenture in their entirety.

          Section 5.04. Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. If, after the date of the Indenture, any of the
Partnership’s Subsidiaries that is not already a Subsidiary Guarantor guarantees, becomes a
borrower or guarantor under, or grants any Lien to secure any obligations pursuant to, the
Revolving Credit Facility, then the Partnership shall cause such Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary
Guarantor by executing a supplement to the Indenture and delivering such supplement to the Trustee
promptly (but in any event, within ten business days of the date on which it guaranteed or incurred such obligations or granted such Lien, as the
case may be).

          Section 5.05. Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance or Transfer of Subsidiary Guarantors.
No Subsidiary Guarantor shall consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person, or sell,
assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties
or assets and the properties or assets of its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole with the

10

 

properties or assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor) to another Person in one or more related transactions unless:

               (a) either: (i) in the case of a merger or consolidation, such Subsidiary Guarantor is the
survivor; or (ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than
such Subsidiary Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
disposition has been made, is a Person formed, organized or existing under the laws of the United
States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

               (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such
Subsidiary Guarantor), or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or
other disposition has been made, expressly assumes all of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations
under its Guarantee and the Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture;

               (c) the Subsidiary Guarantor or the successor Person delivers an Officers’ Certificate and
Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment,
transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and any supplemental indenture required in
connection therewith comply with the Indenture and that all conditions precedent set forth in the
Indenture have been complied with; and

               (d) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default or default under
the Indenture will have occurred and be continuing.

          Upon the assumption of any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture by a
successor, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be discharged from all obligations under the Indenture.

ARTICLE VI

SUCCESSORS

          With respect to the Notes, the provisions of this Article VI shall replace and preempt the
provisions of Section 10.01 of the Base Indenture in their entirety.

          Section 6.01. Consolidation and Mergers of the Partnership. The Partnership may not consolidate with or
merge with or into any other Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose
of all or substantially all of its properties or assets and the properties or assets of its
Subsidiaries (taken as a whole with the properties or assets of the Partnership) to another Person
in one or more related transactions unless:

               (a) either (i) in the case of a merger or consolidation, the Partnership is the survivor; or
(ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the
Partnership) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition
has been made, is a Person formed, organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any
state thereof or the District of Columbia;

               (b) the Person formed by or surviving any consolidation or merger (if other than the
Partnership) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance

11

 

or other disposition has been made, expressly assumes all of the Partnership’s obligations under the
Indenture, including the Partnership’s obligation to pay all principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on, the Notes pursuant to the Indenture;

               (c) the Partnership or the successor Person delivers an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of
Counsel to the Trustee, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer,
lease, conveyance or other disposition and any supplemental indenture required in connection
therewith comply with the Indenture and that all conditions precedent set forth in the Indenture
have been complied with;

               (d) if the Partnership is not the survivor, each Subsidiary Guarantor delivers an Officers’
Certificate to the Trustee stating that its Guarantee will continue to apply to the Notes; and

               (e) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default or default under
the Indenture will have occurred and be continuing.

ARTICLE VII

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

          Section 7.01. Covenant Defeasance. If the Partnership effects a covenant defeasance of the Notes

any obligation to comply with the covenants set forth in Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.04 and 5.05 hereof.

ARTICLE VIII

GUARANTEES

          In accordance with Article XIV of the Base Indenture, the Notes will be fully, unconditionally
and absolutely guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors. With respect
to the Notes, the provisions of this Article VIII shall replace and preempt the provisions of
Sections 14.04(a) and 14.04(c) of the Base Indenture in their entirety.

          Section 8.01. Release of Guarantees. The Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released: (i) in
connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or
assets of, or all of the Partnership’s direct or indirect limited partnership, limited liability
company or other equity interests in, such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or
consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) an Affiliate of the Partnership; (ii)
upon the merger of such Subsidiary Guarantor into the Partnership or any other Subsidiary Guarantor
or the liquidation or dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor; (iii) upon legal defeasance or
covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes, as set forth in Sections 11.02(b) and 11.03 of the
Base Indenture; or (iv) upon delivery of written notice to the Trustee of the release of all
guarantees or other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Revolving Credit Facility.
If, at any time following any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its initial Guarantee of the
Notes pursuant to clause (iv) in the preceding sentence, the Subsidiary Guarantor again incurs
obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, then the Partnership shall cause such Subsidiary
Guarantor to again guarantee the Notes in accordance with the Indenture.

          Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture
referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

          1. Interest. Western Gas Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
“Partnership”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.375% per annum
from May 18, 2011 until maturity. The Partnership shall pay interest semi-annually on June 1 and
December 1 of each such year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of
issuance. The first Interest Payment Date shall be December 1, 2011.

          2. Method of Payment. The Partnership shall pay interest on the Notes (except
defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on
the May 15 or November 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled
after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section
2.17 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest, and the Partnership shall pay
principal (and premium, if any) of the Notes upon surrender thereof to the Trustee or a paying
agent on or after June 1, 2011. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and
interest at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose within or without The
City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Partnership, payment of interest may be made
by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and
provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be

 

			
	2	 	To be included only if the Note is issued in
global form.

A-2

 

required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, each Global
Security and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to
the Partnership or the paying agent on or prior to the applicable record date. Such payment shall
be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts.

          3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the
Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as paying agent and Registrar. The Partnership may change
any paying agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Partnership or any of its
Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

          4. Indenture. The Partnership issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of May 18,
2011 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May
18, 2011 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”)
among the Partnership, the Trustee and the subsidiary guarantors signatory thereto (the “Subsidiary
Guarantors”). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of
the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§
77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture
and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts
with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be
controlling. The Notes are obligations of the Partnership initially in aggregate principal amount
of $500 million. The Partnership may issue an unlimited aggregate principal amount of Additional
Notes under the Indenture. Any such Additional Notes that are actually issued shall be treated as
issued and outstanding Notes (and as the same series (with identical terms other than with respect
to the issue date, the date of first payment of interest, if applicable, and the payment of
interest accruing prior to the issue date) as the initial Notes) for all purposes of the Indenture,
including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. To secure the due and punctual
payment of the principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Partnership
under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the
Subsidiary Guarantors have unconditionally guaranteed the Note Obligations under the Indenture and
the Notes on a senior basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

          5. Optional Redemption. The Partnership may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part at
any time before March 1, 2021, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes (exclusive of interest accrued to the
redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points, plus, in either
case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to such
redemption date. On or after March 1, 2021, the Notes shall be redeemable and repayable, at the
Partnership’s option, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a price equal to 100%
of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest on the Notes to be
redeemed to the date of redemption.

A-3

 

          For purposes of determining any redemption price, the following definitions shall apply:

          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed
that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of such Notes; provided, however, that if no maturity is within three months before
or after the maturity date for such Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely
corresponding to such United States Treasury security shall be determined and the Treasury Rate
shall be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis rounding to the
nearest month.

          “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date for Notes, (1) the
average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date after excluding the
highest and lowest of all of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (2) if the Quotation Agent
obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such
quotations.

          “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Partnership.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and one U.S.
government securities dealer in The City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) selected by
Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the
foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Partnership shall substitute therefor
another Primary Treasury Dealer and (ii) two other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the
Partnership.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked
prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal
amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third business day preceding the redemption date.

          “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to the
semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price
for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Partnership shall calculate the Treasury
Rate on the third business day preceding any redemption date and notify the Trustee in writing of
the Treasury Rate prior to the redemption.

          6. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but
not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at
its registered address. Unless the Partnership default in payment of the redemption

A-4

 

price, on and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption.

          7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without
coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereof. The transfer
of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar
and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and the Partnership may require a Holder to pay any taxes or other governmental
charges required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Partnership need not exchange or
register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption or repurchase,
except for the unredeemed or unrepurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or repurchased in
part. Also, the Partnership need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period
of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or repurchased or during the period between a
record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

          8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as its
owner for all purposes.

          9. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or
the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes, and any existing default or compliance with any
provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes. Without the consent of any Holder of
a Note, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented for any of the purposes set forth
in Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture (as amended by the Supplemental Indenture), including to cure
any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for the assumption of the Partnership’s
obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation of the Partnership or sale
of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, to add or release Subsidiary Guarantors
(or their successors) pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, to make any change that would provide
any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the
legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder of the Notes, to comply with the requirements of the
Commission to permit the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to evidence
or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee, to add any
additional Events of Default, to secure the Notes or the Guarantees or to establish the form or
terms of any other series of Debt Securities.

          10. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default with respect to the Notes include: (i)
default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when
due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise,
(iii) failure by the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor for 60 days after notice to comply
with any of the other agreements in the Indenture; (iv) except as permitted by the Indenture, any
Guarantee shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect (except as otherwise provided
in the Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any Subsidiary
Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its
obligations under the Indenture or its Guarantee and (v) certain events of bankruptcy

A-5

 

or insolvency with respect to the Partnership or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors. If any
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency of either the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor, all Outstanding Notes
shall become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations,
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may direct the
Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. If and so long as the board of directors, an
executive committee of the board of directors or trust committee of Responsible Officers of the
Trustee in good faith so determines, the Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of
any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding by notice to the Trustee may
on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default and its
consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of
interest on, the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes or except as otherwise specified in
Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture. The Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors are required to
deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the
Partnership is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the
Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

          11. Trustee Dealings with the Partnership. The Trustee, in its individual or any
other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Partnership
or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Partnership or its Affiliates, as if it were not
the Trustee.

          12. No Recourse Against Others. The partners (other than the General Partner), directors, officers, employees,
incorporators and members of each of the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as such, shall
have no liability for any obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Partnership under the
Debt Securities, this Indenture or any Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by
reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Debt Security, each Holder shall
waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration
for the issue of the Debt Securities.

          13. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

          14. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an
assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=
joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and
U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

          15. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee
on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Partnership has caused CUSIP and corresponding
ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP and corresponding ISIN
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No

A-6

 

representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers placed thereon.

          The Partnership shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of
the Indenture. Requests may be made to:

NOTATION OF GUARANTEE

     Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors (which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture),
has fully, unconditionally and absolutely guaranteed, to the extent set forth in the Indenture and
subject to the provisions in the Indenture, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts due and payable under the Indenture and the
Notes by the Partnership.

          2.1 Demand Registration.

               (a) Form S-1 Demand. If at any time after the earlier of (i) three (3) years after
the date of this Agreement or (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the
registration statement for the IPO, the Company receives a request from Holders of at least forty
percent (40%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-1
registration statement with respect to at least thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities
then outstanding and the anticipated aggregate offering price to the public would exceed
$20,000,000, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given,
give notice thereof (the “Demand Notice”) to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and
(ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such request is
given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-1 registration statement under the Securities Act
covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any
additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other
Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within

4

 

twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the
limitations of Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.3.

               (b) Form S-3 Demand. If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3
registration statement, the Company receives a request from the Holders of the Registrable
Securities that the Company file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding
Registrable Securities of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price of at least
$10,000,000, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given,
give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (ii) as soon as
practicable, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by
the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering
all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as
specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date
the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(c)
and Section 2.3.

               (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders requesting
a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 a certificate signed by the Company’s chief
executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors it
would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement
to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise
would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a
significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the
Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide
business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with
requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to
defer taking action with respect to such filing, and any time periods with respect to filing or
effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than sixty (60)
days after the request of the Initiating Holders is given; provided, however, that
the Company may not invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and
provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for its own
account or that of any other stockholder during such sixty (60) day period other than pursuant to a
registration relating to the sale of securities to employees of the Company or a subsidiary
pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan.

               (d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any
registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days
before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one
hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration,
provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) after the Company has
effected two registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a); or (iii) if the Initiating Holders
propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form
S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.1(b). The Company shall not be
obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section
2.1(b) (i) during the period that is thirty (30) days before the Company’s good faith estimate
of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date
of, a Company-initiated registration,

5

 

provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Company has effected two
registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(b) within the twelve (12) month period immediately
preceding the date of such request. A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes
of this Section 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been
declared effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such
registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeit their right to one
demand registration statement pursuant to Section 2.6, in which case such withdrawn
registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section
2.1(d).

          2.2 Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this
purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its
securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities
solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly
give each Holder notice of such registration. Upon the request of each Holder given within twenty
(20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions
of Section 2.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such
Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to
terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 before the
effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable
Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn
registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.6.

          2.3 Underwriting Requirements.

               (a) If, pursuant to Section 2.1, the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise
the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.1, and the Company shall
include such information in the Demand Notice. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Company,
subject only to the reasonable approval of the Initiating Hodlders. In such event, the right of
any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be
conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company
as provided in Section 2.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 2.3, if the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing
that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the
Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be
underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the
underwriting shall be allocated among such Holders of Registrable Securities, including the
Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable
Securities owned by each Holder or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all
such selling Holders; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities
held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other
securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting.

6

 

               (b) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s
capital stock pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of
the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the terms of the
underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such
quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of
the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities,
requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be
sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is
compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the
offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the
underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of
the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities
requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that
are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling Holders in proportion (as nearly
as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling Holder or in such
other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be
reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first
entirely excluded from the offering, or (ii) the number of Registrable Securities included in the
offering be reduced below twenty five percent (25%) of the total number of securities included in
such offering, unless such offering is the IPO, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded
further if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s
securities are included in such offering. For purposes of the provision in this Section
2.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited
liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members,
stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any
such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any
of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata
reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of
Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this
sentence.

               (c) For purposes of Section 2.1, a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if,
as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in Section 2.3(a), fewer
than thirty percent (30%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested
to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

          2.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to
effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as
reasonably possible:

               (a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable
Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to
become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred
twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement
has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such one hundred

7

 

twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder
refrains, at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company,
from selling any securities included in such registration, and (ii) in the case of any registration
of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed
basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such one hundred twenty (120) day period
shall be extended for up to one hundred twenty (120) days, if necessary, to keep the registration
statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;

               (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, as may be
necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities
covered by such registration statement;

               (c) furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Holders
may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities;

               (d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by
such registration statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as
shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided that the Company
shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process
in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such
jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

               (e) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such
offering;

               (f) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and
each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed;

               (g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant
to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not
later than the effective date of such registration;

               (h) promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any managing underwriter(s)
participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or
accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and
cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent,
in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such
registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;

8

 

               (i) notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the
time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus
forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and

               (j) after such registration statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any
request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.

          2.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable
Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities.

          2.6 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in
connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including
all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company; and the reasonable fees and disbursements, not to exceed
$25,000, of one counsel for the selling Holders (“Selling Holder Counsel”), shall be borne and paid
by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 if the
registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses
pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn
registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit
their right to one registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), as
the case may be; provided further that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the
Holders shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of
the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the
request with reasonable promptness after learning of such information then the Holders shall not be
required to pay any of such expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant
to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b). All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable
Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro
rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.

          2.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the
result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of
this Section 2.

          2.8 Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration
statement under this Section 2:

               (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling
Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of each such Holder; legal
counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any

9

 

underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who
controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act,
against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person,
or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in
connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result,
as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the
extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter,
controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such
registration.

               (b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has
signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as
defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement,
and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any Damages, in each
case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such
selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such selling Holder
will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which
Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of
the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further
that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or
contribution under Sections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering
received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of
fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

               (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of notice of
the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be
entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, give the indemnifying
party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate
jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that
an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and
expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such

10

 

counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable
time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability
to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8, to the extent that such failure materially
prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to
the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified
party otherwise than under this Section 2.8.

               (d) To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act
in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a
claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by
the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of
time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.8 provides for
indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the
part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.8,
then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted
in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified
party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly
untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact,
relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, (x) no
Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such
Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and
(y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a
Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or
payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering
received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of
willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.

               (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and
contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the
underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the
underwriting agreement shall control.

               (f) Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with
the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section
2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration
under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11

 

          2.9 Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the
benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a
Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a
registration on Form S-3, the Company shall:

               (a) make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood
and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the registration statement
filed by the Company for the IPO;

               (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports
and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any
time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

               (c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith
upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied
with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the
effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the IPO), the Securities Act,
and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting
requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form
S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies); (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company; and
(iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or
regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration (at any
time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or
pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).

          2.10 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this
Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of
the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or
prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective
holder (i) to include such securities in any registration unless, under the terms of such
agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration
only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the number of the
Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included or (ii) allow such holder or prospective
holder to initiate a demand for registration of any securities held by such holder or prospective
holder; provided that this limitation shall not apply to any additional Investor who becomes a
party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.9.

          2.11 “Market Stand-off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not,
without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the
date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company of shares of its Common
Stock or any other equity securities under the Securities Act and ending on the date specified by
the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed (x) one hundred eighty (180)
days in the case of the IPO or (y) ninety (90) days in the case of any registration statement other
than the IPO, (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any

12

 

option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right,
or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of
Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or
indirectly) for Common Stock that is held immediately before the effective date of the registration
statement for such offering or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to
another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities that
are held immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for such offering,
whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of
Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.11 shall not apply (a) to the transfer of any shares to an Affiliate of such
Holder or to any other Person that receives or will receive investment management services directly
or indirectly from Alberta Investment Management Corporation or a transferee or assignee that is
controlled by or under common control with one or more such Persons or (b) the sale of any shares
to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and shall be applicable to the Holders
only if all officers, directors and stockholders individually owning one percent (1%) or more of
the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to conversion into Common Stock of all
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock) are subject to the same restrictions. The underwriters in
connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section
2.11 and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though
they were a party hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be
reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent
with this Section 2.11 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. Any
discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the
Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to all Holders subject to such agreements, based
on the number of shares subject to such agreements. Notwithstanding the above, if (y) during the
period that begins on the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days plus three (3) business days
before the last day of the 180-day or 90-day period, as applicable, referred to above and ends on
the last day of such period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material
event relating to the Company occurs; or (z) prior to the expiration of the 180-day or 90-day
period, as applicable, referred to above, the Company announces that it will release earnings
results during the sixteen (16) calendar day period beginning on the last day of such period, then,
at the request of the managing underwriter, such 180-day or 90-day period, as applicable, shall be
extended until the expiration of the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days plus three (3)
business days after the date on which the issuance of the earnings release or the material news or
material event occurs; provided, however, that no such extension may be requested or effected if
the safe harbor provided by Rule 139 under the Securities Act is available in the manner
contemplated by Rule 2711(f)(4) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or Rule
472(f)(4) of the New York Stock Exchange.

          2.12 Restrictions on Transfer.

               (a) The Registrable Securities shall not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred by any
Holder, and the Company shall not recognize and shall issue stop-transfer instructions to its
transfer agent with respect to any such sale, pledge, or transfer, except upon the a sale, pledge,
or transfer to any transferee or assignee (i) who is an Affiliate of Holder or any director,
officer of partner of an Affiliate of Holder, (ii) who is a family member of the Holder or a trust
for the benefit of the Holder or any family member of the Holder, (iii) who acquires at

13

 

least one percent (1%) of the Registrable Securities of the Company, or (iv) who is a Person who
receives or will receive investment management services directly or indirectly from Alberta
Investment Management Corporation or a transferee or assignee that is controlled by or under common
control with one or more such Persons. In no event shall any Holder sell, pledge, or otherwise
transfer any Registrable Securities to a purchaser, pledgee, or transferee that the Board of
Directors, in its reasonable good faith judgment, determines to be a direct competitor of the
Company, without the Company’s prior written consent. A transferring Holder will cause any
proposed purchaser, pledgee, or transferee of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder to
agree in writing to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions
specified in this Agreement.

               (b) Each certificate or instrument representing (i) the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) the
Registrable Securities, and (iii) any other securities issued in respect of the securities
referenced in clauses (i) and (ii), upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section
2.12(c)) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD,
PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION
FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON
FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

The Holders consent to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any
transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section 2.12.

               (c) The holder of each certificate representing Restricted Securities, by acceptance thereof,
agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2. Before any
proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction, the Holder
thereof shall give notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or
transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale,
pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be
accompanied at such Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall,
and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company,
to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the
Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale,
pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a
recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any

14

 

other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed
sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under
the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell,
pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by
the Holder to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter
(x) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144 or (y) in any transaction in which such
Holder distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate of such Holder for no consideration;
provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section
2.12. Each certificate or instrument evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as above
provided shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the appropriate
restrictive legend set forth in Section 2.12(b), except that such certificate shall not
bear such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Company, such
legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

          2.13 Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request
registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section
2.1 or Section 2.2 shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of:

               (a) the closing of a Deemed Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation; and

               (b) the fifth anniversary of the IPO.

     3. Information Rights.

          3.1 Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall deliver to each Major
Investor, provided that the Board of Directors has not reasonably determined that such Major
Investor is a competitor of the Company:

               (a) as soon as practicable, but in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
end of each fiscal year of the Company, (i) a balance sheet as of the end of such year, (ii)
statements of income and of cash flows for such year and (iii) a statement of stockholders’ equity
as of the end of such year, all such financial statements audited and certified by independent
public accountants of nationally recognized standing selected by the Company;

               (b) as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the end of each
of the first three (3) quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, unaudited statements of income
and of cash flows for such fiscal quarter, and an unaudited balance sheet and a statement of
stockholders’ equity as of the end of such fiscal quarter, all prepared in accordance with GAAP
(except that such financial statements may (i) be subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and
(ii) not contain all notes thereto that may be required in accordance with GAAP);

               (c) as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the beginning
of each fiscal year, a budget and business plan for the next fiscal year (collectively, the
“Budget”), approved by the Board of Directors and prepared on a monthly basis and, promptly after
prepared, any other budgets or revised budgets prepared by the Company; and

15

 

               (d) such other information relating to the financial condition, business, prospects, or
corporate affairs of the Company as any Major Investor may from time to time reasonably request.

If, for any period, the Company has any subsidiary whose accounts are consolidated with those of
the Company, then in respect of such period the financial statements delivered pursuant to the
foregoing sections shall be the consolidated and consolidating financial statements of the Company
and all such consolidated subsidiaries.

     Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 3.1 to the contrary, the Company may
cease providing the information set forth in this Section 3.1 during the period starting
with the date thirty (30) days before the Company’s good-faith estimate of the date of filing of a
registration statement if it reasonably concludes it must do so to comply with the SEC rules
applicable to such registration statement and related offering; provided that the Company’s
covenants under this Section 3.1 shall be reinstated at such time as the Company is no
longer actively employing its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement
to become effective.

          3.2 Inspection. The Company shall permit each Major Investor (provided that the Board
of Directors has not reasonably determined that such Major Investor is a competitor of the
Company), at such Major Investor’s expense, to visit and inspect the Company’s properties; examine
its books of account and records; and discuss the Company’s affairs, finances, and accounts with
its officers, during normal business hours of the Company as may be reasonably requested by the
Major Investor.

          3.3 Termination of Information Rights. The covenants set forth in Section 3.1
and Section 3.2 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i) immediately before
the consummation of the IPO, or (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic
reporting requirements of Section 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, whichever event occurs first.

          3.4 Confidentiality. Each Investor agrees that such Investor will not disclose,
divulge, or use for any purpose (other than to monitor its investment in the Company) any
confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
(including notice of the Company’s intention to file a registration statement), unless such
confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a
result of a breach of this Section 3.4 by an Investor), (b) is or has been independently
developed or conceived by such Investor without use of the Company’s confidential information, or
(c) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Investor by a third party without a breach of any
obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company; provided, however, that an
Investor may disclose confidential information (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and
other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring
its investment in the Company; (ii) to any prospective purchaser (provided that the Board of
Directors has not reasonably determined that such prospective purchaser is a competitor of the
Company), of any Registrable Securities from such Investor, if such prospective purchaser agrees to
be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.4; (iii) to any Affiliate, partner, member,
stockholder, or wholly owned subsidiary of such Investor in the ordinary course of such

16

 

Investor’s business to monitor or report such Investor’s investment in the Company; or (iv) as may
otherwise be required by law, provided that the Investor promptly notifies the Company of such
disclosure and takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure.

     4. Rights to Future Stock Issuances.

          4.1 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section
4.1 and applicable securities laws, if the Company proposes to offer, sell or otherwise issue
any New Securities, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to each Major Investor and
each Key Holder. A Major Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby
granted to it among itself and its Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.

               (a) The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each Major Investor and Key Holder,
stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New
Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer
such New Securities.

               (b) By notification to the Company within twenty (20) days after the Offer Notice is given,
each Major Investor and Key Holder may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on
the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the
proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon
conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Preferred Stock and any other Derivative
Securities then held, by such Major Investor or Key Holder, as the case may be, bears to the total
Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and/or exercise, as
applicable, of all Preferred Stock and other Derivative Securities). At the expiration of such
twenty (20) day period, the Company shall promptly notify each Major Investor and Key Holder that
elects to purchase or acquire all the shares available to it (each, a “Fully Exercising Investor”)
of any other Major Investor’s or Key Holder’s failure to do likewise. During the ten (10) day
period commencing after the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising Investor may, by
giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to the number of shares
specified above, up to that portion of the New Securities for which Major Investors were entitled
to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Major Investors which is equal to the
proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon
conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities
then held, by such Fully Exercising Investor bears to the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable
(directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Preferred Stock and
any other Derivative Securities then held, by all Fully Exercising Investors who wish to purchase
such unsubscribed shares. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall
occur within the later of ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date
of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to Section 4.1(c).

               (c) If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or
acquired as provided in Section 4.1(b), the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period
following the expiration of the periods provided in Section 4.1(b), offer and sell

17

 

the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not
less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer
Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within
such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution
thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall
not be offered unless first reoffered to the Major Investors and Key Holders in accordance with
this Section 4.1.

               (d) The right of first offer in this Section 4.1 shall not be applicable to (i)
Exempted Securities (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation); (ii) shares of
Common Stock issued in the IPO; and (iii) the issuance of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to
Additional Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

          4.2 Directed IPO Shares. If an IPO is undertaken, the Company will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of the IPO to designate a
number of shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock to be offered in the IPO for sale
under a “directed shares program” to Persons designated by the Major Investors holding Series B
Preferred Stock (the “Series B Investors”) or their designees, provided that the Company shall
instruct such underwriter(s) to allocate no less than fifty percent (50%) of the shares included in
such directed share program to Artis Capital Management, L.P. and its Affiliates. The shares
designated by the underwriter(s) for sale under a directed shares program are referred to herein as
“directed shares.” The Series B Investors acknowledge that, despite the Company’s use of its
commercially reasonable efforts, the underwriter(s) may determine in their sole discretion that it
is not advisable to designate all such shares as directed shares in the IPO, in which case the
number of directed shares may be reduced or no directed shares may be designated, as applicable.
The Series B Investors acknowledge that notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, the sale of
any directed shares to any Person pursuant to this Agreement will only be made in compliance with
Rules 2010 and 5130 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Rules and federal, state,
and local laws, rules, and regulations.

          4.3 Termination. The covenants set forth in Section 4.1 shall terminate and
be of no further force or effect (i) immediately before the consummation of the IPO, (ii) when the
Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 12(g) or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, or (iii) upon a Deemed Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, whichever event occurs first. The covenants set forth in
Section 4.2 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i) immediately after the
consummation of the IPO and (ii) upon a Deemed Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, whichever event occurs first.

     5. Additional Covenants.

          5.1 Insurance. Unless the board of Directors determines that such action would not be
in the best interest of the stockholders of the Company, the Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to continue to maintain Directors and Officers liability insurance and term
“key-person” insurance on Fred Cannon until such time as the Board of Directors determines that
such insurance should be discontinued.

18

 

          5.2 Employee Agreements. The Company will cause each person now or hereafter employed
by it or by any subsidiary (or engaged by the Company or any subsidiary as a consultant/independent
contractor) with access to confidential information and/or trade secrets to enter into a
nondisclosure and proprietary rights assignment agreement substantially in the form approved by the
Board of Directors. In addition, the Company shall not amend, modify, terminate, waive, or
otherwise alter, in whole or in part, any of the above-referenced agreements without the consent of
the Board of Directors.

          5.3 Employee Stock. Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, all future
employees and consultants of the Company who purchase, receive options to purchase, or receive
awards of shares of the Company’s capital stock after the date hereof shall be required to execute
restricted stock or option agreements, as applicable, providing for (i) vesting of shares over a
five (5) year period, with the first twenty percent (20%) of such shares vesting following twelve
(12) months of continued employment or service, and the remaining shares vesting in equal monthly
installments over the following forty-eight (48) months, and (ii) a market stand-off provision
substantially similar to that in Section 2.11. In addition, unless otherwise approved by
the Board of Directors the Company shall retain a “right of first refusal” on employee transfers
until the Company’s IPO and shall have the right to repurchase unvested shares at cost upon
termination of employment of a holder of restricted stock.

          5.4 Board Matters. Unless otherwise determined by the vote of a majority of the
directors then in office, the Board of Directors shall meet at least quarterly in accordance with
an agreed-upon schedule. The Company shall reimburse the nonemployee directors for all reasonable
out-of-pocket travel expenses incurred (consistent with the Company’s travel policy) in connection
with attending meetings of the Board of Directors.

          5.5 Successor Indemnification. If the Company or any of its successors or assignees
consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving
corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, then to the extent necessary, proper
provision shall be made so that the successors and assignees of the Company assume the obligations
of the Company with respect to indemnification of members of the Board of Directors as in effect
immediately before such transaction, whether such obligations are contained in the Company’s
Bylaws, its Certificate of Incorporation, or elsewhere, as the case may be.

          5.6 Termination of Covenants. The covenants set forth in this Section 5,
except for Section 5.5, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i)
immediately before the consummation of the IPO (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the
periodic reporting requirements of Section 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (iii) upon a
Deemed Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation,
whichever event occurs first.

     6. Miscellaneous.

          6.1 Successors and Assigns. The rights under this Agreement may be assigned (but only
with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee of Registrable Securities that (i) is an
Affiliate of a Holder; (ii) is a Holder’s Immediate Family Member or trust

19

 

for the benefit of an individual Holder or one or more of such Holder’s Immediate Family Members;
(iii) is a Person that receives or will receive investment management services directly or
indirectly from Alberta Investment Management Corporation or a transferee or assignee that is
controlled by or under common control with one or more such Persons; or (iv) after such transfer,
holds at least 1,000,000 shares of Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate adjustment for
stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and other recapitalizations); provided, however, that
(x) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of
the name and address of such transferee and the Registrable Securities with respect to which such
rights are being transferred; and (y) such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to
the Company to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of Section 2.11. For the purposes of determining the number of shares of
Registrable Securities held by a transferee, the holdings of a transferee (1) that is an Affiliate
or stockholder of a Holder; (2) who is a Holder’s Immediate Family Member; or (3) that is a trust
for the benefit of an individual Holder or such Holder’s Immediate Family Member shall be
aggregated together and with those of the transferring Holder; provided further that all
transferees who would not qualify individually for assignment of rights shall have a single
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices, or taking any action
under this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement inure to the benefit of and are
binding upon the respective successors and permitted assignees of the parties. Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto
or their respective successors and permitted assignees any rights, remedies, obligations or
liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.

          6.2 Governing Law. This Agreement and any controversy arising out of or relating to
this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without
regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the
law of the State of California.

          6.3 Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile
signature and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

          6.4 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for
convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

          6.5 Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual
receipt or: (i) personal delivery to the party to be notified; (ii) when sent, if sent by
electronic mail or facsimile during the recipient’s normal business hours, and if not sent during
normal business hours, then on the recipient’s next business day; (iii) five (5) days after having
been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) one
(1) business day after the business day of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier,
freight prepaid, specifying next-day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All

20

 

communications shall be sent to the respective parties at their addresses as set forth on
Schedule A or Schedule B (as applicable) hereto, or to the principal office of the
Company and to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer, in the case of the Company, or to such
email address, facsimile number, or address as subsequently modified by written notice given in
accordance with this Section 6.5. If notice is given to the Company, a copy which shall
not constitute notice, shall also be sent to Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, 950 Page
Mill Road, Palo Alto, CA 94304, Attention: Peter Buckland. If notice is given to Artis Capital
Management, L.P., or its Affiliates, a copy (which shall not constitute notice) shall also be given
to Goodwin Procter LLP, Attention: Anthony J. McCusker, 135 Commonwealth Drive, Menlo Park, CA
94025-1105.

          6.6 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the
observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular
instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company
and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided that the
Company may in its sole discretion waive compliance with Section 2.12(c) (and the Company’s
failure to object promptly in writing after notification of a proposed assignment allegedly in
violation of Section 2.12(c) shall be deemed to be a waiver); and provided further that any
provision hereof may be waived by any waiving party on such party’s own behalf, without the consent
of any other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or terminated
and the observance of any term hereof may not be waived with respect to any Investor or Key Holder
without the written consent of such Investor or Key Holder, as the case may be, unless such
amendment, termination, or waiver applies to all Investors or Key Holders, as the case may be, in
the same fashion; provided, that Section 2.11, Section 2.12 and Section 6.1
as they each may apply to 1538716 Alberta Ltd. (or its permitted transferee or assign) may not be
amended and the observance of any term thereof may not be waived without the written consent of
1538716 Alberta Ltd. (or its permitted transferee or assign); and provided, further, that
Section 2.11, Section 2.12 and Section 6.1 as they each may apply to
1538731 Alberta Ltd. (or its permitted transferee or assign) may not be amended and the observance
of any term thereof may not be waived without the written consent of 1538731 Alberta Ltd. (or its
permitted transferee or assign). Schedule A and Schedule B hereto may be amended
by the Company from time to time to add information regarding additional Investors or parties to
this Agreement pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.9 without the consent of the other
parties hereto. The Company shall give prompt notice of any amendment or termination hereof or
waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment,
termination, or waiver. Any amendment, termination, or waiver effected in accordance with this
Section 6.6 shall be binding on all parties hereto, regardless of whether any such party
has consented thereto. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this
Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or
continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.

          6.7 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement,
and such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be reformed and construed so that it
will be valid, legal, and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

21

 

          6.8 Aggregation of Stock. All shares of Registrable Securities held or acquired by
Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any
rights under this Agreement and such Affiliated persons may apportion such rights as among
themselves in any manner they deem appropriate.

          6.9 Additional Investors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if the Company issues additional shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock after the date
hereof, whether pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or otherwise, any purchaser of such shares of
Series C Preferred Stock may become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering an
additional counterpart signature page to this Agreement, and thereafter shall be deemed an
“Investor” for all purposes hereunder. No action or consent by the Investors shall be required for
such joinder to this Agreement by such additional Investor, so long as such additional Investor has
agreed in writing to be bound by all of the obligations as an “Investor” hereunder.

          6.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates the Prior Agreement in its
entirety and renders the Prior Agreement null and void. This Agreement (including any Schedules
and Exhibits hereto) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the
subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled.

          6.11 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or
remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party
under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such nonbreaching or
nondefaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any such breach
or default, or to any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any
single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or
thereafter occurring. All remedies, whether under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded
to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

          6.12 Acknowledgment. The Company acknowledges that the Investors are in the business
of venture capital investing and therefore review the business plans and related proprietary
information of many enterprises, including enterprises which may have products or services which
compete directly or indirectly with those of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude
or in any way restrict the Investors from investing or participating in any particular enterprise
whether or not such enterprise has products or services which compete with those of the Company.
