the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement as provided in Section 2(b), a registration
statement on Form S-l or such other form under the Securities Act then available to the Company
providing for the resale pursuant to Rule 415 from time to time by the Holders of any and all
Registrable Interests (including for the avoidance of doubt any Additional Interests that are
issued prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement) (such registration statement,
including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements to such registration statement or Prospectus,
including pre- and post-effective amendments, all exhibits thereto and, if the form of registration
statement then in use pursuant to Section 4(a) so allows, all material incorporated by reference or
deemed to be incorporated by reference, if any, in such registration statement, the “Primary
Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
cause such Primary Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the
Commission as promptly as practicable following such filing. Any Primary Mandatory Shelf
Registration Statement shall provide for the resale from time to time, and pursuant to any method
or combination of methods legally available (including, without limitation, an Underwritten
Offering or a sale through brokers or agents), by the Holders of any and all Registrable Interests.

     (b) Mandatory IPO Registration. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to file
with the Commission no later than December 22, 2010, a registration statement on Form S-l or such
other form under the Securities Act then available to the Company in order to effect a

6

 

Qualified IPO (such registration statement, including the Prospectus, amendments and
supplements to such registration statement or Prospectus, including pre- and post-effective
amendments and all exhibits thereto, the “IPO Registration Statement”). If the Company proposes to
file an IPO Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Holder of the filing (including
notifying each Holder of the identity of the managing underwriters of such initial public
offering), within ten (10) Business Days after such filing, and afford each Holder an opportunity
to include in such IPO Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Interests then
held by such Holder, subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the cutback rights
described below and other conditions and limitations that may be imposed by the managing
underwriters for such offering. Each Holder desiring to include in any such IPO Registration
Statement all or part of the Registrable Interests held by such Holder shall, within twenty (20)
days after receipt of the above-described notice by the Company, so notify the Company in writing,
and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Interests such Holder
wishes to include in such IPO Registration Statement. Any election by any Holder to include any
Registrable Interests in such IPO Registration Statement will not affect the inclusion of such
Registrable Interests in the Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement until such Registrable
Interests have been sold under the IPO Registration Statement; provided, however, that at such
time, the Company shall have the right to remove from the Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement
the Registrable Interests sold pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement.

     (i) Right to Terminate IPO Registration. At any time, the Company shall have the right
to terminate or withdraw any IPO Registration Statement referred to in this Section 2(b)
prior to its effectiveness, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable
Interests in such registration; provided, however, the Company must provide each Holder
that elected to include any Registrable Interests in such IPO Registration Statement prompt
written notice of such termination. Furthermore, in the event the IPO Registration
Statement is not declared effective within ninety (90) days following the initial filing of
the IPO Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly provide a new written notice to
all Holders giving them another opportunity to elect to include Registrable Interests in
the pending IPO Registration Statement. Each Holder receiving such notice shall have the
same election rights afforded such Holder as described in clause (b) above.

     (ii) Underwriting. The Company shall notify the Holders of the identity of the
managing underwriters for the Underwritten Offering proposed under the IPO Registration
Statement as provided above. The right of any such Holder’s Registrable Interests to be
included in any IPO Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be
conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering and the
inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Interests in the Underwritten Offering to the extent
provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Interests through
such Underwritten Offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
with the managing underwriters selected by the Company for such underwriting and complete
and execute any questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, securities escrow
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting,
and furnish to the Company such information in

7

 

writing as the Company may reasonably request for inclusion in the Registration
Statement; provided, however, that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or
warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations,
warranties or agreements as are customary and reasonably requested by the underwriters or as
otherwise customary in this type of transaction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if the managing underwriters determine in good faith that marketing factors require a
limitation on the number of shares to be included, then the managing underwriters may exclude
shares (including Registrable Interests) from the IPO Registration Statement and the Underwritten
Offering and any Common Interests included in the IPO Registration Statement and the Underwritten
Offering shall be allocated:

     (1 ) first, to the Company;

     (2) second, to any Person entitled to the benefits of registration rights pursuant to the
Prior Offering Registration Rights Agreement; and

     (3) third, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Interests in
such IPO Registration Statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable
Interests then held by each such Holder which is requesting inclusion.

If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any Underwritten Offering, such Holder may elect to
withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten
(10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement, provided, that
if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such withdrawal would necessitate a re-circulation
of the Prospectus to investors, such Holder shall be required to have delivered such written notice
at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement.
Any Registrable Interests excluded or withdrawn from such Underwritten Offering shall be excluded
and withdrawn from the IPO Registration Statement but shall still be eligible to be included in the
Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement.

     (iii) Hold-Back Agreement. Holders of Registrable Interests who elect to include any such
Registrable Interests for resale in the IPO Registration Statement and the Underwritten Offering
shall agree not to sell any of their Registrable Interests that are not included in such offering
during such periods as reasonably requested by the underwriters of the Underwritten Offering
contemplated thereby (but in no event for a period longer than 90 days following the effective date
of the IPO Registration Statement with respect to Holders of Registrable Interests sold in the
Offering). All Holders, whether or not electing to include Registrable Interests in the IPO
Registration Statement shall be bound by the provisions of Section 7.

8

 

     (iv) Registrable Interests Not Sold Under IPO Registration Statement.
If (w) the Company terminates or withdraws the IPQ Registration Statement prior to
its effectiveness or the distribution of all Registrable Interests, if any, registered
thereunder, (x) the underwriters exercise their right pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii) of this
Agreement to exclude any Registrable Interests from the IPQ Registration Statement, (y) any
Holder elects to withdraw or not to include any Registrable Interests in the IPQ
Registration Statement, or (z) any Registrable Interests are otherwise not registered under
and distributed pursuant to the IPQ Registration Statement, then the Company shall file the
Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement (if not previously filed) or an additional shelf
registration statement (including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements to such
registration statement or Prospectus, including pre- and post-effective amendments, all
exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by
reference, if any, in such registration statement) (an “Additional Mandatory Shelf
Registration Statement”) relating to any Registrable Interests not registered under and
distributed pursuant to an IPQ Registration Statement and shall use its best efforts to
file no later than (a) in the case of the withdrawal or abandonment of the offering
pursuant to the IPQ Registration Statement, the date which is forty five (45) days after
the earlier of the withdrawal or abandonment of the offering pursuant to the IPQ
Registration Statement or (b) the date which is forty five (45) days from the effective
date of the IPQ Registration Statement.

     (c) Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with
the registration of the Registrable Interests pursuant to this Agreement. Each Holder participating
in a registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on
the total number of Registrable Interests sold in such registration) of all discounts and
commissions payable to underwriters or brokers and all transfer taxes and transfer fees in
connection with a registration of Registrable Interests pursuant to this Agreement and any other
expense of the Holders not specifically allocated to the Company pursuant to this Agreement
relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Interests pursuant to any
Registration Statement.

     (d) Subsequent Shelf Registration for Additional Interests Issued after Effectiveness of
the Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement. If any Additional Interests are issued or
distributed to Holders after the effectiveness of the Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement, or
such Additional Interests were otherwise not included in a prior Registration Statement, then the
Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable file an additional shelf registration statement
(including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements to such registration statement or Prospectus,
including pre- and post-effective amendments, all exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by
reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference, if any, in such registration statement, a
“Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”) covering such Additional Interests on behalf of the
Holders thereof in the same manner, and subject to the same provisions in this Agreement as the
Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement, provided that the provisions of Section 2(a) or
2(b) hereof will not apply to any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement.

     3. Rules 144 and 144A Reporting.

Act and the Exchange Act, it will use its best efforts to make available other information as

Registration Statement and one law firm retained by each representative of such Holders during
normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, all financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company and cause the respective officers, directors and
employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative
of the Holders, the representative of the underwriters or counsel thereto in connection with a
Registration Statement; provided, however, that such records, documents or information
that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and notifies such representative of
the Holders, representative of the underwriters or counsel thereto are confidential shall not be
disclosed by the representative of the Holders, representative of the underwriters or counsel
thereto unless (i) the disclosure of such records, documents or information is necessary to avoid
or correct a material misstatement or omission in a Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) the
release of such records, documents or information is ordered

13

 

pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) such
records, documents or information have been generally made available to the public by the Company;
provided,Jurther, that to the extent practicable, the foregoing inspection and
information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Holders and the other parties entitled
thereto by one law firm designated by and on behalf of the Holders and the other parties, which
counsel the Company reasonably determines to be acceptable; and provided,Jurther that
any such party shall enter into any confidentiality agreement reasonably requested by the Company;

seeking to cure in the Company’s listing or inclusion application any deficiencies cited by the
exchange or market) to list or include all Registrable Interests on the New York Stock Exchange or
the Nasdaq Stock Market;

     (m) use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file in a timely manner all
documents and reports required by the Exchange Act and, to the extent the Company’s obligation to
file such reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act expires prior to the expiration of
the effectiveness period of the Registration Statement as required by Section 4(a) hereof, the
Company shall register the Registrable Interests under the Exchange Act and shall maintain such
registration through the effectiveness period required by Section 4(a) hereof;

     (n) provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Interests, not later than the effective date of
the Registration Statement;

     (o) (i) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules
and regulations of the Commission, (ii) make generally available to its stockholders, as soon as
reasonably practicable, earnings statements covering at least twelve (12) months that satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 (or any similar rule promulgated
under the Securities Act) thereunder, no later than ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal
year of the Company and (iii) delay the effectiveness of any Registration Statement to which any
Holder of Registrable Interests covered by such Registration Statement shall have, based upon the
written opinion of counsel, objected on the grounds that such Registration Statement does not
comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, such Holder having
been furnished with a copy thereof at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effectiveness
thereof, provided that the Company may request effectiveness of such Registration
Statement following such time as the Company shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to
resolve any such issue with the objecting Holder and shall have advised the Holder in writing of
its reasonable belief that such filing complies with the requirements of the Securities Act;

     (p) provide and cause to be maintained a registrar and transfer agent for all
Registrable Interests covered by any Registration Statement from and after a date not later
than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

14

 

     (q) in connection with any sale or transfer of the Registrable Interests (whether or not
pursuant to a Registration Statement) that will result in the security being delivered no longer
being Registrable Interests, cooperate with the Holders and the representative of the underwriters,
if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the
Registrable Interests to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any transfer restrictive
legends (other than as required by the Company’s charter or applicable law) and to enable such
Registrable Interests to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may
reasonably request at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of the Registrable Interests;

     (r) upon effectiveness of the first Registration Statement filed by the Company, the Company
will take such actions and make such filings as are necessary to effect the registration of the
Common Interests under the Exchange Act simultaneously with or as soon as practicable following the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement;

     (s) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to
furnish or cause to be furnished to each Holder (to the extent customary in transactions of this
type), addressed to the Holders of: (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the date of
each closing under the underwriting agreement, in customary form reasonably acceptable to the
Company and counsel for the Company; and (ii) a “comfort” letter, dated the effective
date of such Registration Statement and the date of each closing under the underwriting agreement,
signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements
included in such Registration Statement, covering substantially the same matters with respect to
such Registration Statement (and the Prospectus included therein) and with respect to events
subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in accountants’
letters delivered to underwriters in Underwritten Offerings of securities and such other financial
matters as such Holder and the underwriters may reasonably request and customarily obtained by
underwriters in Underwritten Offerings;

     (t) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with FINRA and in the performance of any
due diligence investigation by any underwriter and its counsel (including any “qualified
independent underwriter,” if applicable) that is required to be retained in accordance with the
rules and regulations of FINRA).

     The Company may require the Holders to furnish to the Company such information regarding the
proposed distribution by such Holder as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in
writing or as shall be required to effect the registration of the Registrable Interests and no
Holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling stockholder in any Registration Statement and no
Holder shall be entitled to use the Prospectus forming a part thereof if such Holder does not
provide such information to the Company. Any Holder that sells Registrable Interests pursuant to a
Registration Statement or as a selling stockholder pursuant to an Underwritten Offering shall be
required to be named as a selling stockholder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus
to purchasers. Each Holder further agrees to furnish

15

 

promptly to the Company in writing all information required from time to time to make the
information previously furnished by such Holder not misleading.

     Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any
event of the kind described in Section 4(f)(ii) or 4(f)(iii) hereof, such Holder will immediately
discontinue disposition of Registrable Interests pursuant to a Registration Statement until such
Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus. If so directed by the
Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the reasonable expense of the Company) all
copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the
Prospectus covering such Registrable Interests current at the time of receipt of such notice.

     5. Black-Out Period.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, the Company shall have the right, but
not the obligation, from time to time to suspend the use of the Registration Statement following
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement (and the filings with any international, federal or
state securities commissions), if any of the following occurs (each, a “Suspension Event”): (i) the
representative of the underwriters of an Underwritten Offering of Common Interests by the Company
has advised the Company that the sale of Interests under the Registration Statement would have a
material adverse effect on such Underwritten Offering; (ii) the Company determines in good faith
that (1) the offer or sale of any Interests under Registration Statement would materially impede,
delay or interfere with any proposed financing, offer or sale of securities, acquisition, merger,
tender offer, business combination, corporate reorganization or other significant transaction
involving the Company, (2) after the advice of counsel, the sale of Registrable Interests pursuant
to the Registration Statement would require disclosure of non-public material information not
otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law, and (3) either (x) the Company has a bona
fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of the proposed transaction or
information, (y) disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its ability to
consummate the proposed transaction, or (z) the proposed transaction renders the Company unable to
comply with the requirements of the Commission, in each case under circumstances that would make it
impractical or inadvisable to cause the Registration Statement (or such filings) to become
effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement on a post-effective basis,
as applicable; or (iii) the Company determines in good faith, after the advice of counsel, that it
is required by law, rule or regulation, or that it is in its best interests, to supplement
Registration Statement or file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement in order to
incorporate information into the Registration Statement for the purpose of: (1) including in the
Registration Statement any Prospectus required under Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (2)
reflecting in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of Registration
Statement or any misstatement or omission in the Prospectus (or of the most recent post-effective
amendment) that, individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Prospectus; or (3) including in the Prospectus any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not disclosed in the Registration Statement or
any material change to such information. Upon the occurrence of any

16

 

Suspension Event, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the Registration Statement to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Registration
Statement or to take such action as is necessary to make resumed use of the Registration Statement
compatible with the Company’s best interests, as applicable, so as to permit the Holders to resume
sales of the Registrable Interests as soon as practicable. In no event shall the Company be
permitted to suspend the use of a Registration Statement in any twelve (12) month period for more
than an aggregate of one hundred twenty (120) days, and, furthermore, not more than ninety (90)
days in any rolling l20-day period, except as a result of a refusal by the Commission to declare
any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement effective after the Company has used all
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective, in
which case the Company shall terminate the suspension of the use of the Registration Statement
immediately following the effective date of the post-effective amendment. If the Company elects to
suspend the effectiveness and/or use of a
Registration Statement following the occurrence of a Suspension Event, the Company, by written
notice to the Holders as provided for herein (a “Suspension Notice”), shall notify the Holders,
that the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been suspended and shall direct the
Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable Interests pursuant to the Registration Statement until
the Suspension Event has ended.

     (b) If
the Company gives a Suspension Notice to the Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable
Interests following a Suspension Event, the Holders shall not effect any sales of the Registrable
Interests pursuant to such Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has
received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice
(as defined below). If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the
expense of the Company) all copies other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s
possession of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Interests at the time of receipt of the
Suspension Notice. The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Interests pursuant
to the Registration Statement (or such filings) upon delivery by the Company of notice that the
Suspension Event or its potential effects are no longer continuing (an “End of Suspension Notice”),
which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders and the representative
of the underwriters, if any, in the same manner as the Suspension Notice promptly following the
conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect.

     (c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall give a
Suspension Notice pursuant to this Section 5 (or a suspension instruction pursuant to Section 4(f),
the Company agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which the applicable Registration
Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the
period from the date of the giving of the Suspension Notice to and including the date when Holders
shall have received the End of Suspension Notice (or similar notice pursuant to Section 4(f) and
copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume sales; provided
that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that securities are no longer
Registrable Interests.

     6. Indemnification and Contribution.

17

 

     (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder, (ii) each person, if
any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and (iii)
the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of each Holder
or any person who controls any of the foregoing (each person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or
(iii) are referred to collectively as the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but
not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, judgments, expenses, liabilities or actions relating
to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
judgments, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement or Prospectus
including any document incorporated by reference therein, or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement, or arise out of, or are
based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as
incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any reasonably documented legal or reasonably documented
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that
(i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any amendment
or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder or furnished to
the Company by or on behalf of such Holder or any participating underwriter specifically for
inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission made in any preliminary Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement,
the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any
Holder from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the
Interests or Additional Interests concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such
Interests or Additional Interests was required to be delivered by such Holder under the Securities
Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability results from the
fact that there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of
the sale of such Interests or Additional Interests to such person, a copy of the final Prospectus
if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder, and (iii) in the case of a
Suspension Event, the Company shall not be liable for any loss, claim, damage or liability
resulting from a sale of Interests or Additional Interests by any Holder occurring prior to
delivery by the Company of an End of Suspension Notice; provided,Jurther, however, that
this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have
to such Indemnified Party.

     (b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating and as a
condition to such participation, each Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and
investment advisers and each person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (the “Company Indemnified Persons”) from and against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions in respect thereof, to

18

 

which the Company or any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or
in any preliminary Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the
extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder or furnished to
the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the
limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company
or any Company Indemnified Person for any reasonably documented legal or reasonably documented
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such Company Indemnified Person in connection
with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof.
This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have
to the Company or any Company Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 6(b), the Holders shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of
the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Interests or Additional Interests
pursuant to such Registration Statement.

     (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this
Section 6, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or
(b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of
substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided,Jurther that the failure
to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an
indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is
brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that
it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who may,
unless in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the indemnifying party a potential conflict of
interest exists, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying
party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other
expenses, other than reasonable costs and expenses incurred at the request of the indemnifying
party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party,
effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party
is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified
party unless such settlement (i) includes any unconditional release of such indemnified party from
all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (ii) does not include a
statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
indemnified party.

19

 

     (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable or insufficient
to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying
party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection
(a) or (b) above in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Holder or such other
indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount
paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any
action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6(d), the Holders shall not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holders from the
sale of the Interests or Additional Interests pursuant to such Registration Statement. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 (f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls
such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the
same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company.

     (e) The agreements contained in this Section 6 shall survive the sale of the Interests or
Additional Interests pursuant to such Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made
by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

     7. Market Stand-off Agreement.

     Each Holder hereby agrees that it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company or an
underwriter of securities of the Company, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell (including
without limitation any short sale), grant any option or otherwise transfer or dispose of any
Registrable Interests or other Common Interests of the Company or any securities convertible into
or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Interests of the Company then owned by such Holder (other
than to donees, partners or other transferees of the Holder who agree to be similarly bound) for a
period of up to 90 days following the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement of the
Company filed under the Securities Act or up to 90 days following the date of an Underwritten
Offering by the Company pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement

20

 

of the Company filed under the Securities Act; provided, however, that such agreement shall
not be applicable to Registrable Interests sold pursuant to such IPO Registration Statement or such
Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be.

     In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to place
restrictive legends on the certificates representing the securities subject to this Section 7 and
to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Interests and such other
securities of each Holder (and the securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing
restriction) until the end of such period.

     8. Termination of the Company’s Obligations.

     The Company shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Agreement at such time as no
Registrable Interests are outstanding, provided, however, that the Company’s obligations under
Sections 3, 6 and 9 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect following such time.

     9. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Amendments and Waivers. Other than as expressly set forth herein, the provisions of
this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given,
without the written consent of the Company and Holders beneficially owning not less than fifty
percent (50%) of the then outstanding Registrable Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
waiver or consent to or departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates
exclusively to the rights of a Holder whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration
Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights
of other Holders may be given by such Holder; provided that the provisions of this sentence may not
be amended, modified or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence.

     (b) Notices. All notices and other communications, provided for or permitted hereunder shall
be made in writing and delivered by facsimile (with receipt confirmed), overnight courier or
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by telegram:

     (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by the transfer agent and
registrar of the Common Interests to the Company; and

     (ii) if to the Company, at the offices of the Company at 5301 Blue Lagoon Drive, Suite
200, Miami, Florida 33126.

21

 

     (c) Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto and
shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company agrees that in the event that any transferee
of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Interests and become a Holder hereunder, such Holder shall,
without any further action of any kind by such Holder, the Company or any other Holder, be deemed a
third-party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder by the Initial Holders and the Company,
and each such Holder shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly as if it were an
Initial Holder to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights
hereunder; provided, however, that no Holder shall have the right to enforce such agreements unless
and until such Holder fulfills all of its obligations hereunder.

     (d) Legend. In addition to any other legend that may appear on the stock certificates
evidencing the Registrable Interests, for so long as any Interests or Additional Interests remain
Registrable Interests, each certificate evidencing such Registrable Interests shall contain a
legend to the following effect: “THE INTERESTS EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND
ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS OF A CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, DATED [•], 2010.”

     (e) Proprietary Nature of Holder List. The Company (or its agent) shall maintain a schedule
with the names and addresses of all of the Holders. Such information, including the counterpart
signatures to this Agreement of the Holders, shall be kept confidential by the Company and shall
not be disclosed to any other Person (including to other Holders) except (i) the name and address
of any Holder may be disclosed to any other Person, with the prior written consent of such Holder,
(ii) to the Company’s agents, consultants, advisors and employees, (iii) as may be required by
applicable law, rule or regulation or as may be required in any filing with the SEC, (iv) in
connection with any judicial process or proceeding or (v) at the direction of the Placement Agent.

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

     (g) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED EXCLUSIVELY BY, AND CONSTRUED
AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY
OTHER STATE..

     (h) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of
the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to

22

 

achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term,
provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the
parties hereto that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or
unenforceable.

     (i) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Subscription Agreements, are intended
by the parties hereto as a final expression of their agreement, and are intended to be a complete
and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the
subject matter contained herein and therein.

     (j) Registrable Interests Held by the Company or its Affiliates. Whenever the
consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Interests is required
hereunder, Registrable Interests held by the Company or its Affiliates shall not be counted in
determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

     (k) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall
not limit or otherwise affect the provisions of this Agreement. All references made in this
Agreement to “Section” refer to such Section of this Agreement, unless expressly stated otherwise.

     (1) Attorneys’ Fees. In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any provision
of this Agreement, or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as a defense, the prevailing
party, as determined by the court, shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees in
addition to any other available remedy.

          (b) Administrator’s Authority. The Administrator shall have the authority to (i)
exercise all of the powers granted to it under the Plan, (ii) construe, interpret and implement the
Plan and any option certificates issued under the Plan, (iii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules
and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules governing its own operations, (iv) make all
determinations necessary or advisable in administering the Plan, (v) correct any defect, supply any
omission and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, and (vi) amend the Plan to reflect changes in
applicable law.

          (c) Administrator Action; Delegation. Actions of the Administrator shall be taken by
the vote of a majority of its members. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any action
may be taken by a written instrument signed by a majority of the Administrator’s members, and
action so taken shall be fully as effective as if it had been taken by a vote at a meeting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Plan, the Administrator may delegate to
one or more officers of the Company the authority to designate the individuals (other than such
officer(s)), among those eligible to receive options pursuant to the terms of the Plan, who will
receive options under the Plan and the terms of each such grant, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law.

          (d) Determinations Final. The determination of the Administrator on all matters
relating to the Plan or any option under the Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive.

          (e) Limit on Administrator’s Liability. No member of the Administrator shall be
liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option
thereunder.

 

     1.3 Persons Eligible for Options

          The persons eligible to receive options under the Plan are the executive management,
employees, consultants and directors of the Company and Bond Street Bank, as the Administrator in
its sole discretion shall select, provided, that none of Daniel Healy, Vincent Tese, or Leslie
Lieberman shall be granted, in total, in excess of 2% of the Interests issuable under the Plan.

     1.4 Options Under Plan

          Under the Plan, eligible individuals may be granted options to purchase Class A Membership
Interests (“Interests”). Options granted under the Plan may be incentive stock options within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and options
that do not qualify as incentive stock options (non-qualified options).

     1.5 Interests Available for Options; Adjustments to Options

          (a) Aggregate Number Available; Certificate Legends. Options may be granted with
respect to an aggregate of 4,375,000 Interests, subject to adjustment as set forth below, provided,
however, that at the date of grant of any Option, the aggregate of the number of Interests
previously granted and the Interests then available for grant cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate
Interests then issued and outstanding.

          (b) Certain Interests to Become Available Again. Any Interests that are subject to an
option and that remain unissued upon the cancellation or termination of such option for any reason
whatsoever or upon the settlement of such option for cash or other medium other than membership
interests, shall again become available for options.

          (c) Adjustments to Existing Options Upon Certain Events.

     (i) Adjustments. In the event of any change in the number of Class A
Interests outstanding by reason of any split, reverse split, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, combination or exchange or similar corporate change, the
maximum number of Interests with respect to which the Administrator may grant awards
under Article II hereof shall be appropriately adjusted by the Administrator. In
the event of any change in the number of such Interests outstanding by reason of any
other event or transaction, the Administrator may, but need not, make such
adjustments in the number and class of shares with respect to which awards may be
granted under Article II hereof, as the Administrator may deem appropriate.

     (ii) Conversion of Company. In the event the Company is converted from
a limited liability company to a corporation, the number of Interests available for
grant and the number of Interests subject to outstanding options shall be converted
into a number of shares in the same manner as ownership interests in the Company are
converted into shares. The exercise price of outstanding options also shall be
equitably adjusted to prevent the enlargement or dilution of rights.

- 2 -

 

In the event such an adjustment, the following shall apply, in addition to the other
provisions of this Section 1.5(c):

     (A) Shares Available for Grants. In the event of any change in
the number of shares of the class authorized under the Plan (the “Authorized
Class”)outstanding by reason of any stock dividend or split, reverse stock
split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of
shares or similar corporate change, the maximum number of such shares with
respect to which the Administrator may grant awards under Article II hereof
shall be appropriately adjusted by the Administrator. In the event of any
change in the number of such shares outstanding by reason of any other event
or transaction, the Administrator may, but need not, make such adjustments
in the number and class of shares with respect to which awards may be
granted under Article II hereof, as the Administrator may deem appropriate.

     (B) Outstanding Options — Increase or Decrease in Issued Shares
Without Consideration. In the event of any increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of
shares of the Authorized Class or the payment of a stock dividend (but only
on the shares of the Authorized Class), or any other increase or decrease in
the number of such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the
Company, Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company,
the Administrator shall proportionally adjust the number of shares of the
Authorized Class subject to each outstanding option, the exercise
price-per-share of each such option.

     (iii) Outstanding Options — Certain Mergers. Subject to any required
action by the members of the Company, in the event that the Company shall be the
surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation (except a merger or
consolidation as a result of which the holders of membership interests receive
securities of another corporation), each option outstanding on the date of such
merger or consolidation shall pertain to and apply to the securities which a holder
of the number of membership interests subject to such option would have received in
such merger or consolidation.

     (iv) Other than as set forth in Section 1.5(c)(ii), in the event of (1) a
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (2) a sale of all or substantially all of
the Company’s assets, (3) a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which
the Company is not the surviving entity or (4) a merger or consolidation involving
the Company in which the Company is the surviving entity but the holders of
membership interests in the Company receive securities of another entity and/or
other property, including cash, the Administrator shall, in its sole discretion,
either:

     (A) following January 25, 2013, cancel, effective immediately prior to
the occurrence of such event, each option outstanding immediately

- 3 -

 

prior to such event (whether or not then exercisable) and, in full
consideration of such cancellation, pay to the grantee to whom such option
was granted an amount in cash, for each Interest subject to such option,
equal to the excess of (x) the value, as determined by the Administrator in
its absolute discretion, of the property (including cash) received by the
holder of a membership interest equal to the membership interest represented
by that Interest as a result of such event over (y) the exercise price of
such option; or

     (B) provide for the exchange of each option outstanding immediately
prior to such event (whether or not then exercisable) for an option on some
or all of the property (including cash) which a holder of a membership
interest equal to the membership interest represented by the Interests
subject to such option immediately prior to such event would have received
as a result of such event and, incident thereto, make an equitable
adjustment as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion in the
exercise price of the option, or the number of shares or amount of property
(including cash) subject to the option or, if appropriate, provide for a
cash payment to the grantee to whom such option was granted in partial
consideration for the exchange of the option.

     (v) Outstanding Options — Other Changes. In the event of any other
change in the capitalization of the Company or a corporate change other than those
specifically referred to in Sections 1.5(c)(ii) and 1.5(c)(iii) hereof, the
Administrator may, in its absolute discretion, make such adjustments to the
Interests subject to options outstanding on the date on which such change occurs and
in the exercise price of each such option as the Administrator may consider
appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. In addition, following
January 25, 2013, if and to the extent the Administrator determines it is
appropriate, the Administrator may elect to cancel each option outstanding
immediately prior to such event (whether or not then exercisable), and, in full
consideration of such cancellation, pay to the grantee to whom such option was
granted an amount in cash, for each Interest subject to such option, equal to the
excess of (x) the Fair Market Value of Interests on the date of such cancellation
over (y) the option exercise price of such option.

     (vi) No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no
grantee shall have any rights by reason of the payment of any dividend, any increase
or decrease in the number of membership interests or any dissolution, liquidation,
merger or consolidation of the Company or any other entity.

     1.6 Definitions of Certain Terms

          (a) The “Fair Market Value” of an Interest on any day shall be determined, in good faith, by
the Administrator in its sole discretion after an evaluation of relevant factors.

- 4 -

 

          (b) A grantee shall be deemed to have terminated employment upon (i) the date the grantee
ceases to be employed by, or to provide consulting or advisory services for, the Company, any
Company subsidiary or Company joint venture, or any entity (or any of its subsidiaries) which
assumes the grantee’s award in a transaction to which section 424(a) of the Code applies; or (ii)
the date the grantee ceases to be a director; provided, however, that in the case of a grantee (x)
who is, at the time of reference, both an employee or consultant or advisor and a director, or (y)
who ceases to be engaged as an employee, consultant, advisor or director and immediately is engaged
in another of such relationships with the Company, any Company subsidiary or Company joint venture,
the grantee shall be deemed to have a “termination of employment” upon the later of the dates
determined pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 1.6(b). For purposes of clause (i) of
this Section 1.6(b), a grantee who continues his or her employment, consulting or advisory
relationship with: (A) a Company subsidiary subsequent to its sale by the Company, or (B) a
Company joint venture subsequent to the Company’s sale of its interests in such joint venture,
shall have a termination of employment upon the date of such sale. The Administrator may in its
discretion determine whether any leave of absence constitutes a termination of employment for
purposes of the Plan and the impact, if any, of any such leave of absence on awards theretofore
made under the Plan.

          (c) The term “employment” shall be deemed to mean an employee’s employment with, or a
consultant’s or advisor’s provision of services to, the Company, any Company subsidiary or any
Company joint venture.

          (d) In connection with a termination of employment for “cause”:

     (i) The term “cause” shall mean:

     (A) to the extent that there is an employment, severance or other
agreement governing the relationship between the grantee and the Company, a
Company subsidiary or a Company joint venture, which agreement contains a
definition of “cause,” cause shall consist of those acts or omissions that
would constitute “cause” under such agreement; and

     (B) to the extent that there is no such agreement as provided for in
subsection (d)(i)(A) above, the grantee’s termination of employment by the
Company or an affiliate on account of any one or more of the following:

	 	(1)	 	grantee’s willful and intentional
failure or refusal, continuing after notice that identifies the
breach(es) complained of, to perform substantially his or her
material duties, responsibilities and obligations (other than a
failure resulting from grantee’s incapacity due to physical or
mental illness or other reasons beyond the control of grantee);

- 5 -

 

	 	(2)	 	any willful and intentional act
or failure to act involving fraud, misrepresentation, theft,
embezzlement, dishonesty or moral turpitude (collectively,
“Fraud”);
	 
	 	(3)	 	any unauthorized use or
disclosure by the grantee of confidential information or trade
secrets of the Company (or any affiliated entity);
	 
	 	(4)	 	any intentional wrongdoing by
such person whether by omission or commission, which materially
adversely affects the business or affairs of the Company (or any
affiliated entity); and
	 
	 	(5)	 	conviction of (or a plea of nolo
contendere to) an offense which is a felony in the jurisdiction
involved or which is a misdemeanor in the jurisdiction involved
but which involves Fraud.

     (ii) For purposes of determining whether cause exists:

     (A) to the extent that an agreement described in subsection (d)(i)(A)
above provides a procedure for the determination of whether cause exists,
such procedure shall apply with respect to a determination of whether a
grantee’s employment is (or is deemed to have been) terminated for cause for
purposes of the Plan; and

     (B) to the extent that there is no such agreement as provided for in
Section 1.6(d)(i)(A) hereof or such agreement does not provide a procedure
for the determination of whether cause exists:

	 	(1)	 	the determination of whether a
grantee’s employment is (or is deemed to have been) terminated
for cause for purposes of the Plan or any option hereunder shall
be made by the Administrator in its sole discretion;
	 
	 	(2)	 	any rights the Company may have
hereunder in respect of the events giving rise to cause shall be
in addition to the rights the Company may have under any other
agreement with a grantee or at law or in equity;
	 
	 	(3)	 	if, subsequent to a grantee’s
voluntary termination of employment or involuntary termination
of employment without cause, it is discovered that the grantee’s
employment could have been terminated for cause, the
Administrator may deem such grantee’s employment to have been
terminated for cause; and

- 6 -

 

	 	(4)	 	a grantee’s termination of
employment for cause shall be effective as of the date of the
occurrence of the event giving rise to cause, regardless of when
the determination of cause is made.

ARTICLE II

Options Under the Plan

     2.1 Certificates Evidencing Options

          Each option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written certificate (an “option
certificate”) which shall contain such provisions as the Administrator may in its sole discretion
deem necessary or desirable. By accepting an option pursuant to the Plan, a grantee thereby agrees
that the option shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan and the applicable
option certificate.

     2.2 Terms of Options

          (a) Option Grants. The Administrator may grant incentive stock options and
non-qualified stock options to purchase Interests to such key persons, and in such amounts and
subject to such vesting and forfeiture provisions and other terms and conditions, as the
Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan. The
Administrator may not grant incentive stock options to non-employees. If the option certificate
does not specify that an Option is an incentive stock option, such Option shall be a non-qualified
option.

          (b) Option Exercise Price. Each option certificate with respect to an option shall
set forth the amount (the “option exercise price”) payable by the grantee to the Company upon
exercise of the option evidenced thereby. The option exercise price per Interest shall be
determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the option exercise
price per Interest shall be at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of an Interest on the date the
option is granted, and in no event less than the book value (as determined by the Administrator in
its sole discretion based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) of an Interest.

          (c) Exercise Period. Each option certificate with respect to an option shall set
forth the periods during which the option evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, whether in whole
or in part. Such periods shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, subject
to the following:

     (i) Ten-Year Limit. No option shall be exercisable more than 10 years
after the date of grant.

     (ii) Beginning of Exercise Period. Notwithstanding the determination
to vest options or portions thereof prior to January 25, 2013, an option shall not
become exercisable prior to January 25, 2013.

- 7 -

 

     (iii) End of Exercise Period. Unless the applicable option certificate
otherwise provides, once an installment becomes exercisable, it shall remain
exercisable until the earlier of (A) the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of
the option or (B) the expiration, cancellation or termination of the option.

     (iv) Timing and Extent of Exercise. Unless the applicable option
certificate otherwise provides, an option may be exercised from time to time as to
all or part of the Interests as to which such option is then exercisable.

     (v) Incentive Stock Option Limitation: Exercisability. To the extent
that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the option is
granted) of the Interests with respect to which incentive stock options are first
exercisable by any employee during any calendar year shall exceed $100,000, or such
higher amount as may be permitted from time to time under section 422 of the Code,
such options shall be treated as non-qualified stock options.

     (vi) Incentive Stock Option Limitation: 10% Owners. Notwithstanding
Sections 2.2(b) and 2.2(c)(i), an incentive stock option may not be granted under
the Plan to an individual who, at the time the option is granted, owns Interests
possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
Interests unless (i) at the time such incentive stock option is granted the option
exercise price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Interests subject
thereto and (ii) the incentive stock option by its terms is not exercisable after
the expiration of 5 years from the date it is granted.

     (vii) Termination of Employment — Generally. Except as otherwise
provided below or in the applicable option certificate, a grantee whose employment
terminates may exercise any outstanding option on the following terms and
conditions: (A) exercise may be made only to the extent that the grantee was
entitled to exercise the option on the termination of employment date; and (B)
exercise must occur within three months after termination of employment but in no
event after the original expiration date of the option.

     (viii) Termination for Cause. If a grantee’s employment is terminated
for cause, all options not theretofore exercised shall terminate upon the
commencement of business on the date of the grantee’s termination of employment.

     (ix) Disability. If a grantee’s employment is terminated by reason of
a disability (as defined below), then any outstanding option shall be exercisable on
the following terms and conditions: (A) exercise may be made only to the extent that
the grantee was entitled to exercise the option on the termination of employment
date; and (B) exercise must occur by the earlier of (I) the first anniversary of the
grantee’s termination of employment, or (II) the original expiration date of the
option. For this purpose “disability” shall mean any physical or mental condition
that would qualify a grantee for a disability benefit under the long-term disability
plan maintained by the Company or, if there is no

- 8 -

 

such long-term disability plan, a physical or mental condition that prevents
the grantee from performing the essential functions of the grantee’s position (with
or without reasonable accommodation) for a period of three consecutive months. The
existence of a disability shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole
discretion.

     (x) Death.

     (A) Termination of Employment as a Result of Grantee’s Death.
If a grantee’s employment terminates as the result of death, then any
outstanding option shall be exercisable on the following terms and
conditions: (I) exercise may be made only to the extent that the grantee was
entitled to exercise the option on the date of death; and (II) exercise must
occur by the earlier of (1) the first anniversary of the grantee’s date of
death, or (2) the original expiration date of the option.

     (B) Death Subsequent to a Termination of Employment. If a
grantee dies subsequent to terminating employment but prior to the
expiration of the exercise period with respect to an option, then the option
shall remain exercisable until the earlier to occur of (I) the first
anniversary of the grantee’s date of death or (II) the original expiration
date of the option.

     (C) Restrictions on Exercise Following Death. Any such
exercise of an option following a grantee’s death shall be made only by the
grantee’s executor or administrator or other duly appointed representative
reasonably acceptable to the Administrator, unless the grantee’s will
specifically disposes of such option, in which case such exercise shall be
made only by the recipient of such specific disposition. If a grantee’s
personal representative or the recipient of a specific disposition under the
grantee’s will shall be entitled to exercise any option pursuant to the
preceding sentence, such representative or recipient shall be bound by all
the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable option certificate
which would have applied to the grantee.

     (xi) Mandatory Exercise or Forfeiture. To the extent
required by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the
“OCC”) or such other governmental office or agency as shall be the
Company’s primary federal regulator, in the event that the Company’s
capital is less than the minimum requirements specified from time to
time by the OCC (or such other regulator), the Administrator shall
inform grantees that all outstanding options shall expire as of a
specified date, unless exercised before such date.

- 9 -

 

     2.3 Exercise of Options

          Subject to the other provisions of this Article II, each option granted under the Plan shall
be exercisable as follows:

          (a) Notice of Exercise. An option shall be exercised by the filing of a written
notice with the Company or the Company’s designated exchange agent (the “exchange agent”), on such
form and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe.

          (b) Payment of Exercise Price. Any written notice of exercise of an option shall be
accompanied by payment for the membership interests being purchased. Such payment shall be made:
(i) by certified or official bank check (or the equivalent thereof acceptable to the Company or its
exchange agent) for the full option exercise price; or (ii) to the extent applicable, via a
brokered cashless exercise.

          (c) Recording of Interests Upon Exercise. Promptly after receiving payment of the
full option exercise price, the Company or its exchange agent shall record the grantee as the
holder of the membership interests represented by such Interests.

          (d) No Rights as a Member. No grantee of an option (or other person having the right
to exercise such option) shall have any of the rights of a member of the Company with respect to
Interests subject to such option until such person is recorded as the owner of the membership
interests represented by such Interests. No adjustment shall be made for distributions or other
rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities or other property) for
which the record date is prior to the date of such recording.

     2.4 Transferability of Options

          Except as otherwise provided in an applicable option certificate evidencing an option, during
the lifetime of a grantee, each option granted to a grantee shall be exercisable only by the
grantee and no option shall be assignable or transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution or as a result of disability of the grantee. The Administrator may, in
any applicable option certificate evidencing an option, permit a grantee to transfer all or some of
the options (a) at any time, to (1) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of the grantee or
(2) a revocable trust or trusts for the benefit of the grantee’s spouse, children or grandchildren
(“immediate family members”) and (b) no earlier than January 25, 2013, to (1) the grantee’s
immediate family members or (2) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such immediate
family members. Following any such transfer, any transferred options shall continue to be subject
to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the transfer.

ARTICLE III

Miscellaneous

     3.1 Amendment of the Plan; Modification of Options

          (a) Amendment of the Plan. The Managing Member may from time to time suspend,
discontinue, revise or amend the Plan in any respect whatsoever, except that no such amendment
shall materially impair any rights or materially increase any obligations under any

- 10 -

 

option theretofore made under the Plan without the consent of the grantee (or, upon the
grantee’s death, the person having the right to exercise the option). For purposes of this Section
3.1, any action of the Managing Member or the Administrator that in any way alters or affects the
tax treatment of any option or that in the sole discretion of the Managing Member is necessary to
prevent an option from being subject to tax under Section 409A of the Code shall not be considered
to materially impair any rights of any grantee. The Managing Member, in its sole discretion, shall
determine whether to submit any amendment of the Plan to the Company’s members for approval.

          (b) Modification of Options. The Administrator in its sole discretion may amend any
outstanding option certificate, including, without limitation, by amendment which would: (i)
accelerate the time or times at which the option may be exercised; (ii) waive or amend any goals,
restrictions or conditions set forth in the option certificate; or (iii) waive or amend any
applicable provision of the Plan or option certificate with respect to the termination of the
option upon termination of employment. However, any such cancellation or amendment (other than an
amendment pursuant to Section 1.5(c) hereof) that materially impairs the rights or materially
increases the obligations of a grantee under an outstanding option shall be made only with the
consent of the grantee (or, upon the grantee’s death, the person having the right to exercise the
option). No amendment may change the exercise price of an Option except in connection with a
reorganization, recapitalization or similar event.

     3.2 Consent Requirement

          (a) No Plan Action Without Required Consent. If the Administrator shall at any time
determine that any consent (as hereinafter defined) is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or
in connection with, the granting of any option under the Plan, the issuance or purchase of
membership interests or exercise of other rights hereunder, or the taking of any other action
hereunder (each such action being hereinafter referred to as a “Plan action”), then such Plan
action shall not be taken or permitted, in whole or in part, unless and until such consent shall
have been effected or obtained to the full satisfaction of the Administrator.

          (b) Consent Defined. The term “consent” as used herein with respect to any Plan
action means (i) any and all listings, registrations or qualifications in respect thereof upon any
securities exchange or under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation; (ii) any and all
written agreements and representations by the grantee with respect to the disposition of membership
interests, or with respect to any other matter, which the Administrator shall in its sole
discretion deem necessary or desirable to comply with the terms of any such listing, registration
or qualification or to obtain an exemption from the requirement that any such listing,
qualification or registration be made; and (iii) any and all consents, clearances and approvals in
respect of a Plan action by any governmental or other regulatory bodies.

     3.3 Certain Agreements

          The Administrator shall require as a condition to the receipt of membership interests pursuant
to an option that the grantee or any other person receiving membership interests pursuant to the
award execute and become a party to the Bond Street Holdings, LLC Limited Liability Company
Agreement.

- 11 -

 

     3.4 Withholding Taxes

          The Company shall be entitled to require as a condition of exercise of an option that the
grantee remit to the Company an amount sufficient in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all
federal, state and other governmental tax withholding requirements related to such exercise. With
the approval of the Administrator, which the Administrator shall have sole discretion whether or
not to give, the grantee may satisfy the foregoing condition by electing to have the Company
withhold from delivery membership interests having a value equal to the amount of tax to be
withheld. Such membership interests shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date on
which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Such a withholding election may be made with
respect to the entire or any portion of the membership interests to be acquired pursuant to an
option.

     3.5 Notification Upon Disqualifying Disposition Under Section 421(b) of the Code

          An individual who receives an incentive stock option shall be required to notify the Company
of any disposition of Interests issued pursuant to the exercise of such option under the
circumstances described in section 421(b) of the Code (relating to certain disqualifying
dispositions), within 10 days of such disposition.

     3.6 Right of Discharge Reserved

          Nothing in the Plan or in any option certificate shall confer upon any grantee the right to
continue employment with the Company or affect any right which the Company may have to terminate
such employment.

     3.7 Nature of Payments

          (a) Consideration for Services Performed. Any and all grants of options and issuances
of membership interests under the Plan shall be in consideration of services performed for the
Company by the grantee.

          (b) Not Taken into Account for Benefits. All such grants and issuances shall
constitute a special incentive payment to the grantee and shall not be taken into account in
computing the amount of salary or compensation of the grantee for the purpose of determining any
benefits under any pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, life insurance or other benefit plan
of the Company or under any agreement between the Company and the grantee, unless such plan or
agreement specifically otherwise provides.

     3.8 Non-Uniform Determinations

          The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it
selectively among persons who receive, or who are eligible to receive, options under the Plan
(whether or not such persons are similarly situated) and among Options to the same person .
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator shall be entitled, among other
things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations, and to enter into non-uniform and
selective option certificates, as to (a) the persons to receive options under the

- 12 -

 

Plan, (b) the terms and provisions of options under the Plan, and (c) the treatment of leaves
of absence pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof and (d) the treatment of Options under Section 1.5.

     3.9 Other Payments or Options

          Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed in any way to limit or restrict the Company from
making any option or payment to any person under any other plan, arrangement or understanding,
whether now existing or hereafter in effect.

     3.10 Headings

          Any section, subsection, paragraph or other subdivision headings contained herein are for the
purpose of convenience only and are not intended to expand, limit or otherwise define the contents,
